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

"What's wrong? You look so serious!" Chu Qingcheng asked with a smile.

Did your grandfather say when you would be promoted?

"His health will be much worse next month; he even tripped and fell last night."

"Is he alright?" Qin Ran asked.

"The doctor examined him and said there was nothing seriously wrong. However, the doctor said he is too old and it is not suitable for him to work hard. He advised him to rest more in the future," Chu Qingcheng said truthfully.

Qin Ran nodded: "In that case, it is indeed time for the old man to step down and give way to a more capable person. He is willing but unable to continue."

"I think so too."

"Nothing else matters, but there's one thing you must remember: you must always be wary of Sun Qing. We've cornered her now, and she might try to kill us. If the opportunity arises, I'll eliminate her and put an end to it once and for all."

Qin Ran had thought about this idea more than once.

But a suitable opportunity has not yet been found.

He had previously engaged in several strategic exchanges with Sun Qing.

It never hurts or itch.

Qin Ran felt that killing her would be going too far.

Yesterday's events have thoroughly enraged Sun Qing.

Qin Ran hoped that Sun Qing would use her trump card.

This way, he could eliminate it legitimately.

"Qin Ran, Sun Qing may be bad, but her crimes don't warrant death."

"My thoughts were the same as yours before. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family. It would be a bit unreasonable for me to kill her. But I can't guarantee what will happen in the future. If Sun Qing crosses my bottom line, I will not show any mercy. I'm waiting for another opportunity now." Qin Ran looked at Chu Qingcheng.

"I heard she's going to divorce her dad, and it seems like she's preparing to go through legal proceedings."

"She wants to divorce Chu Jindong?" Qin Ran asked, somewhat surprised.

"right."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful.

Even if he gets divorced, he won't feel at ease.

The biggest hidden danger around Chu Qingcheng is Sun Qing.

Once Sun Qing is eliminated, Qin Ran will no longer have to worry.

He can focus on his own things from now on.

Qin Ran snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Chu Qingcheng: "No matter what, you still need to be wary of her. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

"Okay, I understand."

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran left.

……

Saturday arrived quickly.

That evening, Qin Ran dressed up and set off for the Chu family.

When he arrived at the destination, he saw that all the members of the Chu family were present.

Sun Qing and Chu Wan'er were also there.

Didn't they have a falling out with the Chu family?

Why would they come back?

Sun Qing was overjoyed to see Qin Ran approaching.

Tonight is his death day.

After tonight, she will be able to completely control the Chu family.

Chu Jindong walked over: "Qin Ran is here."

Hello, Uncle.

"Please sit for a while, dinner will be served shortly."

"it is good."

At the same time, Chu Jinming's family also came over to greet Qin Ran.

Qin Ran wasn't familiar with them; she had only met them a few times.

He was just exchanging casual pleasantries.

In fact, the Chu family was very unhappy that the old man passed the chairmanship to Chu Qingcheng.

Chu Qingcheng was just an illegitimate child.

What gives her the right?

Chu Yunfei is the eldest grandson of the Chu family.

Logically, he should be in charge.

However, the person behind Chu Qingcheng is Qin Ran.

They are people we simply cannot afford to offend.

Sun Qing saw Chu Jinming's family constantly flattering Qin Ran, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.

They're so eager to flatter Qin Ran now, they'll be kneeling on the ground begging her to let them go in a minute.

Sun Qing seized the opportunity and said to Qin Ran, "Qin Ran, we had some disagreements before, I hope you won't hold it against me. Once you marry Qingcheng, we'll be family, so don't hold a grudge against your stepmother."

Qin Ran sneered: "You want to make peace with me?"

"Yes, I've thought it through. From now on, let's all live peacefully as a family."

Qin Ran didn't reply; he kept staring at Sun Qing across from him.

Not right.

There's definitely something wrong.

Based on his understanding of Sun Qing, he knew she would never endure such humiliation.

If Chu Wan'er were to take power, she could easily control the Chu family.

Did she just give in like that?

At the same time, Chu Jindong sat down next to Qin Ran.

"I've talked to your stepmother a lot these past two days, and she's realized her mistake. From now on, we're family, and I hope you won't hold it against her."

Qin Ran paused for a moment: "I can do it, but she might not be able to."

"I assure you, she will live peacefully with us from now on."

Qin Ran smiled but didn't reply.

Judging from the words, Sun Qing is not prepared to divorce Chu Jindong.

This woman is cunning and should never be trusted easily.

Qin Ran was eager to see what tricks she was up to.

A short while later, Chu Zhenlong came downstairs.

Everyone came forward to greet him.

Qin Ran also went over there.

The old man looks much more haggard these past two days.

Visibly thinner.

"Qin Ran, after this meal, we're family from now on. Get along well. If the Chu family encounters any difficulties in the future, you must lend a helping hand. As for Qingcheng, I will officially make her the head of the family next month." Chu Zhenlong looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran nodded: "I understand, I will."

Dinner time arrived quickly.

One after another, delicacies from land and sea were served on the dining table.

The group ate and chatted.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qin Ran was happy and drank a few more cups.

He soon realized something was wrong.

There was a very strange feeling inside my body.

He thought he had drunk too much.

But he soon realized that wasn't the case.

At the same time, Qin Ran noticed that Sun Qing, who was sitting opposite him, was looking at him with a wicked expression.

Qin Ran's heart skipped a beat.

not good!

There's something wrong with this dish.

He subconsciously glanced at the people around him.

No one experienced any discomfort.

Qin Ran instantly understood what was going on.

He subtly activated his internal energy.

That's when they realized it had no effect.

He continued to exert his efforts, but it was still to no avail.

Oops.

We were careless this time.

The food was laced with a drug similar to a pulse-sealing powder.

This medicine can seal the true energy within a cultivator's body, preventing it from circulating.

Qin Ran then tried to unleash the ancient divine power.

But it was still to no avail.

Qin Ran was now completely panicked.

It seems that Sun Qing used some kind of medicine.

Who gave her this medicine?

Even though she was panicking inside, Qin Ran pretended to be very calm.

He knew that Sun Qing was secretly observing him.

Qin Ran quietly took out her phone and contacted Tang Da and Ji Ruyan.

Tell them to come over as soon as possible.

At this moment, Chu Zhenlong said to Sun Qing, "You toast Qin Ran, and we'll wipe the slate clean of past grievances so that our family can live together peacefully from now on."

Sun Qing stood up and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, him? Does he deserve to toast me?"

Chu Zhenlong was immediately enraged.

Oh shit.

This woman is courting disaster again.

Chu Jindong's face darkened instantly: "What's gotten into you now? Didn't we already agree on this?!"

"If I hadn't agreed to your request, why would you have let me attend tonight's dinner? If I hadn't come, how could I have drugged the food? So I have to thank you."

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with fear.

Sun Qing actually put poison in the food.

Could it be poison?

Chu Jindong roared, "You madman, what kind of drug did you give me?"

"Don't worry, the drug I gave you won't work on you, it only works on Qin Ran." Sun Qing finished speaking and then looked at Qin Ran: "Don't pretend to be calm. I know the drug has taken effect. You're a cripple now, and you're going to die today!"

Qin Ran sneered: "I've fallen for it, but it's really not certain who will have the last laugh between us."

"You're about to die and you're still being stubborn."

Chu Zhenlong slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Sun Qing, are you trying to rebel? Do you even respect me anymore?"

"You old codger, you should have died long ago. If you were dead, the Chu family would be mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Qing unleashed a palm strike in his face.

The chaotic demonic energy struck Chu Zhenlong's head.

His head exploded instantly, and blood flowed freely.

The life of a once-richest man has come to an end.

"what……"

The reception room erupted in screams.

Everyone looked at Sun Qing with horrified eyes.

Chu Wan'er was no exception.

What exactly happened to Sun Qing?

Qin Ran's expression was also very unpleasant.

Sun Qing just used Chaotic Demonic Qi.

"You've fallen into the demonic path?"

"That's right, I am now a demonic cultivator. Tonight, my mission is to kill you, take control of the Chu family, and take your Twin Dragon Jade Pendant."

Qin Ran did not respond.

He didn't want to provoke Sun Qing any further.

He now has to stall for time.

When Tang Da and Ji Ruyan arrived.

I wonder if the two of them together can be a match for Sun Qing?

When the old man was killed, the other members of the Chu family didn't even have time to grieve.

Right now, all they want is to protect themselves.

Chu Jindong said tremblingly, "Wife, don't get agitated, let's talk this out."

"You dog of a man, now you know I'm your wife, but when you colluded with outsiders to frame me and Wan'er, why didn't you think of us as your wife and daughter?" Sun Qing glared fiercely at Chu Jindong.

Chu Jindong's legs went weak with fear: "That was all the old man's arrangement, it has nothing to do with me."

"Kneel down!" Sun Qing shouted.

Chu Jindong was so frightened that his chrysanthemum tightened, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.

Chu Jinming's family also hurriedly knelt down.

"Sun Qing, this has nothing to do with us. We weren't involved at all. Please don't kill us."

"Actually, we've always felt that you're the most suitable person to take over the Chu family business. After all, we've all seen your abilities. It's just that the old man is foolish and insists on letting Chu Qingcheng, that illegitimate daughter, take over."

Sun Qing enjoyed the feeling of being admired. She sneered, "You haven't offended me, so I won't kill you. Just obey my orders from now on."

"Don't worry, we'll listen to you in everything from now on. We'll do whatever you tell us to do." Chu Jinming said, then kowtowed repeatedly.

"As for you..." Sun Qing looked at Chu Qingcheng.

Chu Qingcheng trembled with fright.

She never dreamed that tonight's family dinner would turn out like this.

It seems that Qin Ran and I are doomed to die tonight.

When Qin Ran saw that Sun Qing was about to attack Chu Qingcheng, he knew he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death.

"Sun Qing, your target is me, don't make things difficult for Qingcheng."

"Bah! You can't even use your internal energy now, you've become a cripple. What right do you have to order me around? I've wanted to kill this woman for a long time."

Chu Qingcheng suddenly adopted a look of being ready to die.

"I'm just unlucky to have fallen into your hands. Kill me if you want. To die with Qin Ran would be a very happy thing for me."

Qin Ran couldn't help but look at Chu Qingcheng.

It seems this woman is truly in love with him.

She definitely didn't rise to power because of him.

As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity.

Qin Ran was deeply moved.

"Hahaha, you really have deep feelings for this scum. Well then, I'll grant your wish. I'll kill you first, then I'll kill Qin Ran."

After Sun Qing finished speaking, the devil's hand moved directly towards her.

Suddenly, a shout came from the doorway.

"stop."

Qin Ran was overjoyed, thinking that Tang Da and Ji Ruyan had arrived.

But the next second, he was disappointed.

It wasn't them at all, just guards from the Chu family...
