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

Qin Ran stared at Tian Lina: "You investigated me?"

"It wasn't really an investigation. I just had someone inquire about your situation. Was my description correct?" Tian Lina countered.

"I do live with three women: two of them are my senior female classmates, and the other is my senior female classmate's younger sister."

Tian Lina sneered: "You're really lucky with women, surrounded by beauties. But you only seem glamorous, because these women may not truly love you."

Qin Ran found it somewhat amusing.

This woman really knows how to talk to herself.

He felt that Tian Lina's feelings for him had turned from love to hate.

"I don't need their love. They are my senior sisters and my family, understand?" Qin Ran finished speaking and drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp.

"And what about me? What am I?"

"What happened before was consensual, and neither of us owes the other anything. We can just be friends from now on, or we can remain strangers if you don't want to."

Tian Lina's face grew even uglier after hearing this.

That scoundrel is truly heartless.

After I finished playing with her, I just wanted to kick her out.

However, Qin Ran had helped the Tian family before.

Tian Lina couldn't very well turn against him.

At the same time, beautiful tango music filled the hall.

The group paired up and began dancing to the music.

At that moment, Tanaka Jiro, the chairman of the Yamato Shokai, walked over.

He seemed to have drunk too much; he was walking unsteadily.

"Mr. Tanaka, I've long admired your name. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?" Tanaka Jiro said with a lewd grin.

Tian Lina agreed without even thinking.

Actually, she didn't really want to dance with this Japanese man.

I just wanted to annoy Qin Ran.

Tanaka Jiro then made an inviting gesture.

Tian Lina stood up, took his hand, and the two walked toward the center of the banquet hall.

Qin Ran's gaze followed them the whole time.

As time went on, the dancers enjoyed their performance more and more.

Tian Lina sensed that something was wrong.

Tanaka Jiro touched her body intentionally or unintentionally.

His expression was lewd.

It's obviously intentional.

"Mr. Tanaka, your behavior is very impolite. I advise you to stop immediately, or I will lose my temper."

Tanaka Jiro chuckled, "It's normal to have physical contact while dancing, Mr. Tan. Don't be so petty. When I invited you earlier, you agreed without hesitation, which shows you really wanted to dance with me. I think after the party, we can find a place to chat alone. What do you think?"

Tian Lina almost threw up.

He wouldn't have danced with Tanaka Jiro if it weren't to spite Qin Ran.

Does this guy think he's interested in her?

"Mr. Tanaka, I only agreed to dance with you because you invited me, and I did so out of politeness. However, your behavior just now was very impolite. If you continue like this, don't blame me for embarrassing you."

"Hahaha, all women in your Dragon Kingdom are hypocritical. I know you're just pretending to be reserved, but you're actually enjoying it."

After saying that, Tanaka Jiro placed his hand on Lina Tian's plump buttocks.

The next second, Tian Lina pushed her away: "That's enough, go jump by yourself."

After saying that, Tian Lina was about to leave.

Tanaka Jiro grabbed him and said, "The dance isn't over yet, you can't leave."

"Let me go."

People around them cast strange glances at them.

Qin Ran quickly got up and walked over.

He stepped forward and grabbed Tanaka Jiro's arm.

Qin Ran's strength was not small.

If it were an ordinary businessman, he would have been screaming in pain long ago.

But Tanaka Jiro didn't say anything; he simply slowly released his grip.

Tian Lina quickly stepped aside.

Seeing that he let go, Qin Ran also loosened her grip.

"This is Chinese territory. You'd better behave yourself and not overstep your bounds, or I'll chop your hands off."

Tanaka Jiro cracked his knuckles: "It's true that Xijing is Dragon Kingdom territory, but this is a party hosted by the Yamato Trading Company, so this is my territory. If you bow your head and admit your mistake now, I might consider letting you off the hook."

"Go to hell, you think you're worthy of making me bow my head and admit my mistakes?" Qin Ran scoffed.

"You idiot, how dare you insult me!"

"Hey, I only said a few words to you, and you're already using your native language. Now get over there and apologize to Tian Lina!"

Tian Lina whispered to Qin Ran, "Forget it, I don't want people to laugh at me."

"If he takes advantage of you, people will laugh at him. He has to apologize, otherwise he'll think we Chinese are easy to bully." Qin Ran kept staring at Tanaka Jiro.

After hearing this, Tian Lina didn't say anything more.

Qin Ran's words make sense.

Tanaka Jiro's eyes grew even sharper: "Qin Ran, I know you're a big shot in Xijing, but I won't allow you to ride roughshod over us Japanese. It's an honor for her that I've taken a fancy to a woman from your Dragon Kingdom. You want me to apologize? Dream on."

The murderous aura on Qin Ran's face grew stronger.

It was obvious that Tanaka Jiro knew him.

But they had never met.

The only explanation is that after arriving in Xi'an, this group of Japanese people conducted a detailed investigation.

They had a clear understanding of who the important figures or those not to be trifled with were in Xijing.

He just locked Tanaka Jiro's arm.

But the other person didn't scream in pain.

This shows that the other party is a trained fighter.

Qin Ran became increasingly convinced that her previous guess was correct.

These Japanese were not ordinary businessmen at all.

They intended to establish a presence in Xijing under a false pretense.

Or perhaps they will settle down in Xi'an.

They had other purposes for this trip.

These people are likely evil figures or spies sent by Japan.

When Tanaka Jiro saw that Qin Ran was not speaking, he assumed that Qin Ran was intimidated by his authority.

He was overjoyed, thinking that Qin Ran was nothing special.

It's not as powerful as the rumors suggest.

But the next second, Qin Ran raised his hand and slapped him.

His speed was as fast as lightning, and Tanaka Jiro had no time to react.

He was sent flying by the slap and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Ah..." This time, Tanaka Jiro cried out in pain.

The people around watched this scene with amazement.

At the same time, Tanaka Jiro sprang to his feet.

"You idiot, you dare to ambush me! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, Takishiro Jiro prepared to make his move.

Suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd: "Stop!"

The visitors were none other than Chairman Matsumoto Sōji and Vice Chairman Watanabe Inzō.

In addition, there were more than a dozen men in black following behind.

Upon seeing this, Tanaka Jiro immediately communicated with them in Japanese.

They chattered on and on.

Although Qin Ran couldn't understand what they were saying, he could tell that Matsumoto Soji's tone was very firm.

He was probably criticizing Tanaka Jiro.

After their conversation, Matsumoto Soji said to Tian Lina, "Chairwoman Tian, ​​I'm truly sorry. I apologize for Chairman Tanaka's reckless behavior and hope you can forgive him."

Tian Lina said with feigned nonchalance, "He's right here. Does he need someone else to apologize on his behalf?"

"Why don't you go apologize to Chairman Tanaka right now?" Matsumoto Soji snapped at Tanaka Jiro.

Although reluctant, Tanaka Jiro did not dare to disobey the chairman's wishes. He looked at Tian Lina and said, "Chairwoman Tian, ​​I apologize for my behavior just now. I'm sorry."

"This is a one-time exception. When you come here, you have to learn to respect people." Tian Lina said and then left.

Matsumoto Sōji then looked at Qin Ran: "Mr. Qin, I have long admired your name. I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting you to dinner sometime."

"Forget about dinner. We're on different wavelengths, so let's not associate with each other. From now on, keep a low profile in Xi'an, you hear me?"

Matsumoto Soji nodded with a forced smile.

Qin Ran didn't say anything more and swaggered away.

As soon as he left, Matsumoto Sōji's expression changed.

Tanaka Jiro stared at Qin Ran's retreating figure with a malicious look on his face.

It seems that in order to successfully infiltrate Xijing, we must first get rid of this troublesome guy, Qin Ran.

Afterwards, Matsumoto Sōji left with his men.

Nothing else happened until the party ended.

After the party, Qin Ran drove Gu Xinrou home.

"I was really worried for you just now. I thought you were going to fight those Japanese again," Gu Xinrou said to Qin Ran.

"They were going to make a move, but Matsumoto Soji stopped them."

"It seems that Chairman Matsumoto is quite magnanimous; he immediately came over to apologize when his subordinates made a mistake."

Qin Ran sneered: "What you see is just the performance."

What does that mean?

"These Japanese are not ordinary businessmen at all. The reason why Matsumoto Soji appeared in time to stop them is because they were afraid of being exposed."

"I suspect these people are either spies or members of an evil organization sent by the Japanese. They want to infiltrate Xijing and secretly set up Japanese occult formations to quietly devour the local fortune." Qin Ran finished speaking and glanced at Gu Xinrou.

Gu Xinrou's expression stiffened: "Isn't what you said a bit exaggerated?"

Qin Ran sneered: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Haven't you noticed how different they are from businessmen? Their temperament and aura are completely different."

"And then there's Tanaka Jiro. He's clearly a trained fighter. When he was about to make his move, I vaguely sensed a dark power surging within him."

"The same goes for Matsumoto Sōji."

After listening to Qin Ran's analysis, Gu Xinrou felt a little scared.

If that's the case, then we can no longer do business with the Yamato Trading Company.

If they have ulterior motives, they must be punished.

"So what are you planning to do? Should you report it?" Gu Xinrou asked.

"Reporting them is useless. They've already established a solid network of connections here as soon as they arrived. Their purpose is self-evident. I'll observe them secretly for a few days and find an opportunity to wipe out the Yamato Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop."

Gu Xinrou nodded slightly.

The two chatted like that.

Soon, Qin Ran drove to Gu Xinrou's place.

After Gu Xinrou got out of the car, Qin Ran prepared to go home...
