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

The next day.

Yamato Chamber of Commerce!

As Matsumoto Soji watched the short video about Qin Ran, his expression grew increasingly grim.

It was obvious that Qin Ran was trapped in a bewitching array at that time.

He knew perfectly well who did it.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Tanaka Jiro pushed open the door and walked in: "Chairman, you wanted to see me?"

"Did you do this?" Matsumoto Sōji held up his phone screen to Tanaka Jirō.

Tanaka Jiro looked at Qin Ran's comical appearance in the video and couldn't help but laugh.

"I did it."

"Baka! You self-righteous bastard!" Matsumoto Soji slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"President, Qin Ran hit me in public yesterday. I can't swallow this insult. I have to teach him a lesson."

"If you're so capable, then take him out in one go. What's the point of toying with him like this? Don't forget why we came to Xi'an!"

"Don't get agitated, Qin Ran doesn't know it was me who did it anyway."

Matsumoto Soji sneered: "Do you think he's as stupid as you? He'll definitely guess that it was us. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll come over to confront us soon."

"President, would the mighty Nine Chrysanthemums Sect be afraid of a mere cultivator from the Dragon Kingdom? If he dares to cause trouble, we'll just take him out." Tanaka Jiro put on a ruthless expression.

"You idiot, if we kill him in front of everyone, wouldn't we be exposed? Once exposed, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Our purpose in coming to Xijing is to infiltrate the city and find an opportunity to disrupt its fortune. We absolutely cannot expose ourselves until the mission is complete. Do you understand?"

Tanaka Jiro swallowed hard.

At the time, he was only thinking about getting revenge on Qin Ran and didn't think much else.

It seems they're in trouble now.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in."

A Japanese man in a suit walked in: "President, there is a man named Qin Ran outside who wants to see you."

Matsumoto Sōji's expression grew increasingly grim.

Everything went exactly as he expected.

"See? This is all your doing. If our plans are disrupted and the Prime Minister blames us, you'll bear all the responsibility." Matsumoto Soji glared at Tanaka Jiro.

Tanaka Jiro lowered his head, looking like a servant who had done something foolish.

After calming himself down, Matsumoto Soji prepared to meet Qin Ran.

Tanaka Jiro followed.

Matsumoto Soji reminded him not to speak later, and that he would handle it.

The two soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

Qin Ran watched them approach, his eyes full of mockery.

These Japanese traitors, today we must tear off your disguise.

"Mr. Qin, it's an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!" Matsumoto Sōji said with a smile.

"Don't give me that crap. Last night, on my way home, I accidentally stumbled into a maze. I know it was you guys who did it. I'm here today to settle the score with you."

"Mr. Qin, I don't understand what you just said at all. What illusion array? I've never heard of it." Matsumoto Soji started to play dumb.

Qin Ran sneered: "You're a smart man. The fact that I came here proves that I know everything about you."

"You are not businessmen at all, but evil people sent by Japan. Your purpose is to infiltrate Xijing and find an opportunity to persecute this city. To put it bluntly, you are a group of spies."

Matsumoto Soji remained calm after hearing this.

He was already mentally prepared.

He had investigated Qin Ran before.

This person possesses profound cultivation, is proficient in various magical arts, and is also very intelligent.

It's not surprising that he could think of that.

Tanaka Jiro, standing to the side, seemed a little guilty.

His mental fortitude isn't as good as Matsumoto Sōji's.

Matsumoto Soji stood tall and straightened his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring: "You have a vivid imagination. I know you have prejudices against Japanese people, but I am just a legitimate businessman."

"If you doubt our identities, you can report it to the relevant authorities and have them verify and investigate."

"If there's a problem, they'll shut down my chamber of commerce immediately, and we'll be deported back to our country."

Qin Ran kept her eyes fixed on Matsumoto Sōji.

That old man is really good at pretending.

He showed absolutely no remorse when faced with his own accusations.

This shows that he has a very good mental fortitude.

Since he said that, it proves that he's not afraid of another department coming to investigate.

They made ample preparations.

"Looks like you're planning to deny it to the death?" Qin Ran asked sinisterly.

"You're slandering us, why should I admit it? If you're trying to find a reason to deliberately make things difficult for us, we'll report you to the relevant authorities and let them uphold justice. I believe Xijing is not a lawless place." Matsumoto Soji put on an upright and honest demeanor.

Qin Ran laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, well said, superb acting skills, unprecedented and unparalleled. I really want to give you an award, but this trick won't work on me."

"I'll notify Bureau 749 right now and have them investigate. I want to see just how well you've been hiding!"

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Sōji's mental defenses crumbled instantly.

749th inning?

That's the mortal enemy of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction.

All of the Nine Chrysanthemums' previous conspiracies in the Dragon Kingdom were thwarted by Bureau 749.

This is why they chose to come to Xi'an.

This place is very far from Kyoto.

By the time Bureau 749 realized what was happening, their plot had already succeeded.

But Qin Ran said he needed to notify Bureau 749.

What qualifications does he have to contact this department directly?

Could it be?

As he meditated, Matsumoto Soji swallowed hard.

"Old man, you're feeling guilty," Qin Ran said with a sinister smile.

"You can report us wherever you want; we have nothing to hide."

"Alright, just you wait and see. It won't be long before I expose your true colors."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he turned and left.

Matsumoto Soji watched his departing figure, clenching his fist tightly.

Everything was fine before.

Tanaka Jiro's foolishness instantly plunged them into danger.

"President, should we...?"

Matsumoto Soji raised his hand and slapped Tanaka Jiro across the face: "Idiot, look what you've done! You've ruined our entire plan."

"I'm sorry, President, I was wrong."

Matsumoto Sōji ignored him and walked away.

After getting into the car, Qin Ran dialed Chen Maoxin's number.

"Director Chen!"

"Qin Ran, is something the matter?"

"Recently, a group of Japanese people came to Xijing and established a trading company here. But I found out that they are not merchants at all, but evil people sent by Japan. They disguised themselves and wanted to occupy Xijing."

Chen Maoxin's tone on the other end of the phone instantly became serious: "Are you sure?"

"I can confirm it, but I have no evidence, and they are very good at disguising themselves. For the time being, I can't do anything about them."

"Tell me their basic information, and I'll send someone to investigate."

"it is good."

Qin Ran then told Chen Maoxin the general information about these Japanese people.

"Qin Ran, if what you said is true, these Japanese people should be from the Nine Chrysanthemums faction. Keep them calm for now. I will send people to investigate. Do not act rashly before I give you the results."

"Understood. I'll take action after you've investigated and obtained the evidence."

"I will send people to support you then," Chen Maoxin said.

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran hung up the phone.

He turned his head and glanced at the sign of the Yamato Chamber of Commerce.

You little punks, you won't be able to stay hidden for long.

Qin Ran called Tang Da again.

He was instructed to send someone to secretly keep an eye on these Japanese people.

After explaining everything, he prepared to go find Chu Qingcheng.

Upon arriving at the Chu family's residence, Qin Ran took the elevator.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Chu Wan'er walking towards him, chatting and laughing with a man.

The man had long hair, was dressed very well, and looked very stylish.

At the same time, Chu Wan'er also saw Qin Ran.

"Qin Ran, it's been a long time."

"It hasn't been long. And who is this?"

"This is my boyfriend—Matsumoto Teru!"

Qin Ran frowned: "Japanese?"

"That's right, his father is Matsumoto Sōji, the president of the Yamato Shokai."

Qin Ran couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, was it your mom who introduced you to someone again?"

"None of your business, what are you laughing at?"

"Chu Wan'er, I bet you, you won't live past thirty."

"Pah! You won't live past thirty."

Matsumoto Teru looked at Qin Ran with a displeased expression.

That guy is so rude.

Qin Ran continued, "Do you know why I said you wouldn't live past thirty? Because you'll die at your mother's hands before you turn thirty."

"You can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth. Don't be too smug. We'll see who has the last laugh." Chu Wan'er was so angry that her face turned red.

Matsumoto Teru gave Qin Ran a nudge: "You're very rude. Apologize to Wan'er right now."

Qin Ran ignored him and slapped him across the face.

Matsumoto Teru was forced to retreat repeatedly, almost falling to the ground with a thud.

Chu Wan'er was terrified.

She hadn't expected Qin Ran to suddenly attack Matsumoto Teru.

Looking at Matsumoto Teru again, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Qin Ran: "If you dare to hit me, I'll kill you."

At the same time, Matsumoto Teru was radiating spiritual energy.

He roared as he charged toward Qin Ran.

The two started fighting in the hallway.

After only two rounds, Matsumoto Teru was unable to withstand the attack and was knocked to the ground by Qin Ran once again.

The commotion from their fight attracted a lot of attention.

Sun Qing and Chu Jindong walked over.

"Oh dear, Matsumoto-kun, are you alright?" Sun Qing rushed over and helped Matsumoto Teru up.

"Baka! I want this man dead!" Matsumoto Teru pointed viciously at Qin Ran.

Sun Qing seized the opportunity to hurl insults: "Qin Ran, are you fucking crazy? What right do you have to hit my son-in-law?"

"Hahahaha, you're the one who's sick. You just grab anyone off the street and call them your son-in-law. Didn't you learn your lesson last time? Now you're trying to cause trouble again." Qin Ran sneered.

"Listen up, this man is the son of Matsumoto Sōji, the president of the Yamato Trading Company. The person behind Matsumoto Sōji is the Prime Minister of Japan. The Chu family is already considering joining the Yamato Trading Company, and you actually came here to cause trouble."

Qin Ran said with his hands behind his back, "Listen up, everyone. These Japanese people from the Yamato Trading Company are not merchants at all. They are disguised members of a Japanese evil sect. To put it simply, they are spies. You still dare to marry into their family? You are clearly courting death."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Matsumoto Teru was also utterly shocked.

How does this guy know so much?

Who exactly is he?
