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

Fu Guonan was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

Shen Mancheng's idea is dangerous; he is digging his own grave.

Although he is backed by a military industrial enterprise.

But Qin Ran was no pushover either.

The fact that Qin Ran killed the Prince of Zhenbei without being held accountable is enough to show that he also has military backing.

"Young Master Shen, I advise you to think twice before you act. You've never dealt with Qin Ran before, so you don't know how powerful he is. If you think what I just said is an exaggeration, you can go outside and ask around. I really wasn't exaggerating Qin Ran; this person is truly not to be trifled with," Fu Guonan said earnestly.

Shen Mancheng sneered, "I don't need to ask around. I was just taught a lesson by him yesterday. He injured three of my Grandmasters. I wanted to call the military region to arrest him, but he knows Huangfu Junxiong, so the military region couldn't do anything about him."

Fu Guonan was completely dumbfounded.

This person must have something wrong with their brain.

Even though he already knew Qin Ran's strength, he still foolishly wanted to eliminate him.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Then why are you still..." Fu Guonan hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"I have witnessed Qin Ran's prowess, but I don't believe that he is the greatest in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Is there no one in the Dragon Kingdom who can deal with him? That's not necessarily true, is it?" Shen Mancheng retorted.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"That's settled then. My Shen family has connections all over the Dragon Kingdom. This time, I'll show him what it means to be someone above the Heavenly Palace." Shen Mancheng put on an arrogant look again.

Fu Guonan did not respond.

Since Shen Mancheng has said so.

He couldn't say anything more.

The Shen family's power was beyond his imagination.

Shen Mancheng continued, "Now it's your turn to choose. Are you going to help the Shen family, or do you think the Shen family can't beat Qin Ran and don't want to get involved?"

Fu Guonan swallowed hard.

He chose to stand aside and not take action regarding Nangong Ze's previous matter.

His choice turned out to be correct.

If he had chosen to stand up for Nangong Ze back then, his fate would probably have been the same as Nangong Ze's.

But this time, what choice should he make?

"Young Master Shen, how would you like me to help you?"

"Just like I said, act as a middleman, organize a meeting, gather all the heads of these big families together, and leave the rest to me. I have a way to handle them," Shen Mancheng said to Fu Guonan.

Fu Guonan nodded: "That's no problem, I'll arrange it for you right now."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Let me know when you've made your arrangements, and I'll handle the rest," Shen Mancheng said, standing up.

Fu Guonan stood up and said, "Okay, take care."

After Shen Mancheng left, Fu Guonan began to make arrangements.

……

Time quickly passed and it was afternoon.

Qin Ran finished his cultivation and prepared to go out for a stroll.

He drove to the Black Emperor Group.

Upon arriving at the destination, Qin Ran went straight to Gu Xinrou's office.

At this moment, Gu Xinrou is looking at a document sent by Lingtian Chamber of Commerce.

"Busy!" Qin Ran pushed open the door and entered.

Gu Xinrou said, "I just finished working and only now have some free time."

"What are you looking at?" Qin Ran walked to the opposite side of Gu Xinrou, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"This is an electronic invitation from the Lingtian Chamber of Commerce."

"Are you going to throw another cocktail party?" Qin Ran asked.

"Fu Guonan, the president of Lingtian Chamber of Commerce, has invited the heads of major companies to attend an internal gathering. This gathering is not open to the public and will be held at Fu Guonan's private club," Gu Xinrou said to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran thought for a moment: "When?"

"Tomorrow night."

"Then go ahead and go, there shouldn't be any problems."

Gu Xinrou said, "I find it a bit strange. Fu Guonan has hosted several public cocktail parties before, but he has never hosted such a private internal gathering."

"If you're worried, I'll go with you."

"Okay, you'll come with me then."

Qin Ran chatted with Gu Xinrou for a few minutes, and then went to Su Qingyi's place.

He stayed until evening before going home with Su Qingyi.

……

The following evening!

Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou went to the Haojiang Club together.

This is Fu Guonan's private club.

The location is relatively remote.

After parking the car, Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou got out.

Two people also got out of the Rolls-Royce in front.

They are Chu Zhenlong and Chu Jindong.

The father and son were somewhat surprised to see Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou arrive together.

But in the blink of an eye, they accepted it.

The relationship between Qin Ran and the Black Emperor Consortium is not that simple at all.

Chu Zhenlong and Chu Jindong have discussed this point.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries and greetings.

Chu Zhenlong looked at Qin Ran: "Qin Ran is here too."

"I came with Gu Xinrou to take a look. She feels that there's something strange about tonight's gathering," Qin Ran said.

"I have received reliable information that tonight's special gathering was not organized by Fu Guonan, but by another mysterious bigwig."

"Who?" Qin Ran asked.

"You'll find out then. Go in."

After Chu Zhenlong finished speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the club.

Chu Jindong followed behind him.

Qin Ran rolled her eyes.

This old man is quite good at keeping people in suspense.

Then, Qin Ran and Gu Xin went inside as well.

They were led to a reception room by a designated person.

The lights in the reception room were dim.

There was a long conference table inside, with a few people sitting scattered around.

They were all somewhat surprised to see Qin Ran arrive.

While surprised, they also felt a greater sense of security.

Actually, they all felt that tonight's gathering was a bit strange.

Especially in such a dark environment.

They were all a little unsure.

Nobody knows what will happen tonight.

Qin Ran felt much more at ease with them.

As time went on, more and more people arrived at the scene.

All five major families have arrived.

Once everyone had arrived, the club staff began serving the dishes.

Expensive steaks and side dishes were served to each guest.

A staff member was pouring red wine on the side.

At this moment, Fu Guonan did not appear.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one started eating.

They felt the atmosphere was increasingly strange.

Seeing that no one was willing to start, Qin Ran took the initiative.

He picked up a knife and fork and started cutting the steak.

The steak tasted amazing.

Qin Ran had never eaten such delicious steak before.

Seeing Qin Ran start eating, everyone else followed suit and began to eat as well.

Meanwhile, the reception room was unusually quiet.

All you could hear was the sound of knives, forks, and plates clattering together.

As they ate, the group cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

Nobody knows what Fu Guonan is really up to.

Several tens of minutes later, Fu Guonan finally appeared.

Upon seeing this, everyone stood up.

Fu Guonan is the president of Lingtian Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone naturally had to give him face.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Sit down," Fu Guonan said, and then sat down.

Everyone gradually took their seats.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Fu Guonan.

Fu Guonan began, "You are all heads of leading enterprises and major families in Xijing. I've gathered you all here tonight to introduce you to an important figure. He asked me to make this arrangement, and he has some words to say to you!"

These words intensified everyone's ominous premonition.

"President Fu, just tell us who this important person is," Gu Xinrou asked.

"Don't worry, he'll be here soon."

At the same time, Shen Mancheng, dressed in a suit and tie, entered the reception room.

Qin Ran couldn't help but sneer when he saw it was him.

It turns out it was just some scrap material.

He was looking forward to it just now.

Now, however, it feels utterly tasteless...
