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

To celebrate Su Qingyi's success in resolving the crisis, Zhu Jiahe decided to cook for her herself.

Qin Ran also requested that Su Qingyi live here from now on.

Let's all live together and not separate anymore.

Su Qingyi had no choice but to agree for the time being.

After a while, she plans to move out.

Although she still had some worries, she wouldn't follow Qin Ran forever.

Qin Ran won't protect her forever.

Su Qingyi believed that carrying the amulet given to her by Qin Ran would prevent any further problems.

The last time she was captured by the demonic forces was because she didn't carry the protective talisman Qin Ran had given her.

……

The next day.

Qin Ran received a call from Chu Qingcheng.

I've been quite busy these past few days, and the two of them haven't been in contact.

Chu Qingcheng expressed her desire to see Qin Ran.

Since he had nothing much to do today, Qin Ran went to the Chu Group.

Once they arrived at the CEO's office, the two began to chat.

"Qin Ran, where have you been these past few days? You haven't contacted me at all," Chu Qingcheng said, pouting.

"I've been a bit busy lately. My senior sister was tricked by bad guys and was cursed. I took her to Yunnan to find someone to remove the curse," Qin Ran said truthfully.

"Is she better now?"

"I'm all better now. How about you? How have you been lately?"

"I'm fine, it's just that work is a bit tiring, but I'm used to it," Chu Qingcheng said to Qin Ran.

"You need to take good care of yourself; your health is the most important thing."

"Okay, you too."

"By the way, how are Sun Qing and Chu Wan'er doing now?" Qin Ran couldn't help but think of the mother and daughter.

Chu Qingcheng replied, "Sun Qing took Chu Wan'er back to her parents' home; they've been there for a while now."

"It seems Sun Qing has realized that she can't turn things around in the Chu family, so she took Chu Wan'er back to her parents' home. That's fine, out of sight, out of mind," Qin Ran said with a smile.

He still vividly remembered what happened last time.

Sun Qing originally wanted Luo Canglan to be her son-in-law.

Luo Canglan's father is the minister of the national special security department.

If he marries Chu Wan'er, he will definitely be able to help Chu Wan'er seize power in the Chu family in the future.

But things didn't go as planned.

Luo Canglan is the head of a human trafficking organization.

He has now been arrested.

Because of this incident, Sun Qing and Chu Wan'er completely lost their status in the Chu family.

Chu Qingcheng completely replaced Chu Wan'er.

The current situation is a win-win situation for everyone.

Chu Qingcheng changed the subject: "I told you something. Recently, a group of Japanese people established a chamber of commerce in Xijing called the Yamato Chamber of Commerce."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful.

It is reasonable for Japanese people to establish chambers of commerce in mainland China.

As long as they are legitimate businessmen, it's nothing.

"and then?"

"The Yamato Chamber of Commerce is gaining momentum. They have quickly established a network of connections in Xijing, which involves the military, business, and political circles. It can be said that their status has surpassed that of local chambers of commerce in Xijing. Recently, many companies have joined the Yamato Chamber of Commerce, and my grandfather is also considering it," Chu Qingcheng said earnestly.

Qin Ran nodded slightly: "Then I'll send someone to investigate and see if this Yamato Chamber of Commerce is reliable or not."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Don't be so polite with me."

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran left the Chu Group.

He got into the car to go back.

Just then, my phone rang.

It's Gu Xinrou.

"Hey, Hsin-rou!"

"Recently, some Japanese people established a chamber of commerce in Tokyo called the Yamato Chamber of Commerce. They're hosting a business exchange and discussion reception tonight, and they sent me an invitation. Would you like to come with me?"

Qin Ran said, "I just talked about this with Chu Qingcheng. I don't have anything planned for tonight, so let's go over there."

"Okay, come pick me up from my house at seven tonight."

"no problem."

After their conversation, Qin Ran went back.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Qin Ran, dressed in a suit and tie, was ready to leave.

"Where are you going, dressed so smartly?" Su Qingyi asked.

"I accompanied Gu Xinrou to a business networking reception," Qin Ran said truthfully.

"Why didn't you call me? I'm the company's vice president."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "You haven't been to work these past few days? I have to go now, I'm going to be late."

After saying that, Qin Ran rushed out the door.

He drove to where Gu Xinrou lived.

Meanwhile, the other party was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area.

Qin Ran parked the car in front of her.

Gu Xinrou opened the car door and got in.

She gave Qin Ran the address.

Qin Ran drove there.

"Do you know who the president of the Yamato Trading Company is?" Qin Ran asked as he drove.

"The president's name is Matsumoto Sōji, the vice president's name is Watanabe Inuma, and the chairman's name is Tanaka Jirō!"

"You seem to know quite a lot about this?" Qin Ran asked with a smile.

"Absolutely. The Yamato Chamber of Commerce was established very quickly. After gaining a foothold, they quickly built up connections in Xijing. It seems they want to establish themselves in Xijing," Gu Xinrou said.

Qin Ran's expression was somewhat strange: "I feel that things are not that simple. I seem to smell a conspiracy."

"What do you mean? You think there's something wrong with these Japanese people!"

"It's not certain yet; we need to observe further before we can make a judgment."

"Then observe carefully later."

Qin Ran responded and continued to concentrate on driving.

About half an hour later, he drove to the location where the cocktail party was being held.

The two got out of the car.

As she reached the door, Gu Xinrou took out the invitation.

After the security personnel confirmed that the invitations were valid, they let the two people in.

The hall was sparkling with starlight.

Today, we are gathered here with business leaders and representatives of some prominent families.

Qin Ran and Chu Qingcheng attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered.

At the same time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over with his assistant.

He had a smile on his face and looked very kind.

"Mr. Gu, I am Sōji Matsumoto, the president of the Yamato Chamber of Commerce. It's a pleasure to have you attend this reception!"

After finishing speaking, Matsumoto Soji subconsciously glanced at Qin Ran.

He was very fast, and his eyes were somewhat evasive.

Qin Ran noticed this subtle movement.

Qin Ran's intuition told him that this Japanese man knew him.

Looking at Gu Xinrou again, she smiled and said, "President Matsumoto, you're too kind. I'm very happy to receive your invitation."

"Have a great time tonight."

"Thanks."

Matsumoto Sōji simply came to say hello and then left.

Afterwards, Gu Xinrou chatted with some business friends she knew.

Qin Ran found a seat and sat down.

He sipped his champagne while observing the situation.

His gaze followed Matsumoto Sōji's every move.

At the same time, Qin Ran was also secretly observing the other Japanese people.

The more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong.

He had met many businessmen.

These Japanese people don't look like businessmen at all.

Qin Ran suspected that these Japanese people were likely disguised and entrenched in Xijing.

He was unaware of the specific purpose.

This is just his guess.

To verify whether a guess is true, you need evidence.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure walked over.

"Qin Ran, it's been a long time." The visitor was none other than Tian Lina.

"You're here too!"

Tian Lina sat down next to Qin Ran, saying, "If you can come, why can't I?"

"You're still as blunt as ever." Qin Ran took a sip of champagne.

"This is the attitude you should have towards a faithless man like you."

Am I a heartless man?

"Otherwise what? You slept with me twice and then dumped me. What else could you be but a heartless man?" Tian Lina retorted.

Qin Ran gave a wry smile.

He remembered looking for Tian Lina once before.

This also explains why I haven't contacted her.

The two of them did indeed have less and less contact after that.

That's because Qin Ran is too busy.

There's simply no time for him to be unfaithful outside.

"I've been very busy lately, with one trouble after another. I've been busy dealing with these things and didn't think to contact you for a moment," Qin Ran said with a smile.

Tian Lina looked at her with disdain: "The way you lie is really disgusting. The trouble you're talking about is living with three women, right?"

"As the saying goes, three women make a drama. You have to deal with their conflicts every day, so how can you have the mind to care about anything else? Am I right?"
