You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran felt something was strange.

I didn't feel this way at all when I came during the day.

If this temple is truly filled with yin energy, it will be present both during the day and at night.

Yin energy is emitted by evil spirits.

Evil things belong to Yin, so they emit Yin energy.

This yin energy is not limited to day or night.

At this moment, Qin Ran was certain that someone was playing tricks.

The same goes for the lake monster.

It's all man-made.

Wang Meng and his group are very clever.

These people guessed that he and Chu Qingcheng would come to inspect, so they're putting on airs here.

The purpose was to make them believe that this place had a strong sense of mystery.

In that case, Chu Qingcheng would agree to conduct commercial development in this area.

After meditating, Qin Ran entered the dilapidated courtyard.

Chu Qingcheng and the others followed behind him.

They looked around.

There was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Suddenly, Ding Hui noticed something else amiss.

The grand chair in the temple started rocking on its own.

How can a chair rock by itself without any external force?

"Look at that chair."

Everyone's eyes turned to the chair.

Chu Qingcheng and Gu Xinrou gasped in shock at the sight of this bizarre scene.

The next second, a loud bang suddenly came from behind.

When everyone turned around, they saw that the gate of the dilapidated courtyard was actually closed.

This terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire temple.

Ding Hui said tremblingly, "I told you to go back first and come back tomorrow, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, we can't leave."

Qin Ran looked at Ding Hui: "We didn't ask you to come. You insisted on coming yourself. You're clearly a coward, yet you brag that you used to walk alone at night and weren't afraid of anything. It's ridiculous."

"Who says I'm a coward? I'm not afraid of anything for Qingcheng." After saying that, Ding Hui walked to Chu Qingcheng's side: "Qingcheng, don't be afraid. Stand behind me, I'll protect you."

"I'm fine, you should take care of yourself first," Chu Qingcheng said awkwardly.

Qin Ran really wanted to burst out laughing when he saw this.

This guy is hilarious.

He was almost scared to death, but he still tried to act cool.

"Ah...look...that chair..."

The one speaking was Chu Qingcheng's assistant.

The next second, everyone's eyes were drawn to the chair.

A female ghost dressed in red with disheveled hair was sitting on the chair at some point.

Ding Hui was completely overwhelmed when he saw this.

His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

Gu Xinrou and Chu Qingcheng were so frightened that they screamed.

This scene was absolutely terrifying.

They cried out uncontrollably.

Qin Ran, however, scoffed, "I want to see if it's a real ghost or a fake one."

After saying that, he rushed straight into the dilapidated temple.

The woman in red was somewhat surprised to see Qin Ran rush in.

Under normal circumstances, they should have been so frightened that they turned and ran away, or collapsed to the ground.

Qin Ran, however, defied the natural order and charged straight in.

Seeing that things were not going well, the woman in red immediately got up and tried to run away.

Qin Ran reached out and pressed down on her shoulder.

The opponent dodged accordingly.

Qin Ran realized that the red-clad female ghost was a trained martial artist.

The two then began to fight.

After two rounds, the red-clad female ghost was thrown out by Qin Ran.

She fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized it was a man.

Qin Ran sneered: "As expected, it's all just a charade."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ran wanted to go up and kick him a couple more times.

The other party, however, repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Stop hitting me...stop hitting me..."

"Tell me quickly, who told you to do this?" Qin Ran questioned.

"It's Wang Meng!"

Qin Ran then looked at Chu Qingcheng and said, "See? The so-called mystery surrounding this place is all intentional. Combined with what I said before, this place has no value for development. One day, the lies will be exposed by the outside world, and then no one will come here anymore."

Chu Qingcheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Qin Ran's point.

She was going to report the situation to Chu Zhenlong truthfully.

Suddenly, the gate of the dilapidated courtyard was pushed open.

Wang Meng and his group came in.

A man in a suit and tie also came in with them.

His name is Wang Bao, and he is the owner of a tourism company in the county.

Wang Bao learned that someone wanted to develop Hunter Tower Village.

He is very interested.

In this way, he can cooperate with the other party.

"Wang Meng, is it really meaningful for you to pull these childish tricks? I even believed what you said before," Chu Qingcheng said with a dark face.

Wang Meng said with a smile, "President Chu, it doesn't really matter whether it's true or not. As long as we have a gimmick, I guarantee that tourists will come."

Wang Bao then said, "Mr. Chu, hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Bao, and I am the owner of Shenxing Jiuzhou Tourism Company. As long as the Chu Group comes here for commercial development, we can cooperate, and I guarantee that we will make endless money."

Chu Qingcheng said, "But my investigation results are in. This place is not like what the outside world says. The so-called mystery is all created by you."

"Hey, we're both businessmen, so the truth or falsehood isn't that important. If you believe it, it's true; if you don't believe it, it's false."

"Once this place is developed, we'll do some media promotion, and then I'll play some games. I guarantee there will be a steady stream of suckers coming over. As long as there's money to be made, that's all that matters," Wang Bao said sinisterly.

Chu Qingcheng did not respond.

She frowned, looking thoughtful.

At the same time, Ding Hui came over and said, "Qingcheng, Wang Bao is a notorious underworld figure in the county. You'd better agree first, or we'll all be in deep trouble."

After hearing this, Chu Qingcheng looked at Wang Bao across from her.

This guy has shifty eyes and doesn't look like a good person at all.

"I'll first report the actual situation to our chairman and see what he thinks!" Chu Qingcheng said.

Wang Bao laughed and said, "No problem, let's have lunch together tomorrow and then talk in detail."

Qin Ran, however, directly rejected this arrangement.

"Stop wasting your breath. I can tell you clearly that the Chu family will not commercially develop this."

Wang Meng stepped forward: "You're the one who talks the most nonsense. President Chu has already spoken, what are you arguing about? If it weren't for President Chu's sake, I would have beaten you up long ago."

Qin Ran sneered and ignored him, instead looking at Wang Bao: "I know without even looking that your travel company is most likely one of those shady travel agencies that cheats and swindles tourists, plus they threaten them."

"The Chu family will not cooperate with travel companies like yours."

"The most important point is that everything here is a lie, and sooner or later someone will stand up and expose it."

"The key point is that the Chu Group won't collude with you to deceive tourists."

Wang Bao stared intently at Qin Ran.

This kid's got a death wish.

How dare they talk to him like that?

Ding Hui was so angry he wanted to curse.

Qin Ran had no idea about Wang Bao's background.

If you push him too far, he's capable of anything.

It really proves the saying: it's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates.

Wang Bao sneered, "Kid, I'll give you three seconds to take back what you just said, or you'll face the consequences."

"What's said is said, what's done is done," Qin Ran scoffed.

Wang Bao's expression grew increasingly grim, but he still held back: "President Chu, what are your thoughts?"

"I...I also think my friend's analysis is very accurate," Chu Qingcheng said.

"Then there's nothing to discuss. Of course, I don't necessarily want your group to come here for development. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Give me five million, and I'll let you go," Wang Bao said, spreading his hands.
