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

Qin Ran truthfully told Kong Haorong and Yue Bufan what had happened at the Xijing Martial Arts Association.

Both of them had complicated expressions after hearing this.

I thought the case was over, but it turned out to involve a mastermind behind the scenes.

Moreover, this big shot is Zhou Zhenshan, the leading figure in the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

This is making things a bit tricky.

Afterwards, Qin Ran and the others left and returned to the Black Emperor Consortium.

When Qin Ran met Gu Xinrou, he told her that the mastermind behind the crime had been dealt with.

After learning the news, Gu Xinrou finally felt relieved.

This will give the victims' families some closure.

"I'm still communicating with the victim's family about the compensation issue. I'll report the situation to headquarters later and hold a press conference to explain." Gu Xinrou looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran nodded, indicating his agreement.

Since things have come to this, this is the only way.

Although the murderer was killed, the victims could not be brought back to life.

Qin Ran still felt somewhat guilty.

He didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him.

That evening, Qin Ran arranged for Kong Haorong and Yue Bufan to stay at the resort.

They will stay overnight in Xijing tonight.

Tomorrow, he will go to Kyoto with the two of them.

……

The next day.

After Qin Ran met up with Yue Bufan and Kong Haorong, they headed to the airport.

They flew to Kyoto.

Upon arriving in Kyoto, they went straight to the Super Defense Bureau to report to Chen Maoxin.

"Director Chen, this is the video I took at the scene. Please take a look."

"I trust your abilities. I'll review the video later." Chen Maoxin looked at Qin Ran: "Are you really sure Zhou Zhenshan is the mastermind behind this Xijing incident?"

"Director Chen, I swear on my life, it's definitely him."

Chen Maoxin sighed.

Zhou Zhenshan holds a high position and wields great power; this is not a good situation.

He needs to think carefully about what to do next.

"I'd better watch the video first."

Chen Maoxin turned on the camera and began watching the entire process of solving the case.

After watching the video, he learned that the culprit in this incident was the leader of the underground Black Warriors, the Faceless Demon.

He soon discovered the problem.

"Qin Ran, that shrew never revealed that Zhou Zhenshan was the mastermind, and you just killed him like that?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Bufan and Kong Haorong realized the problem.

Their gazes turned to Qin Ran.

He should have other evidence on him.

Qin Ran said, "The people I arrested at the Xijing Martial Arts Association last time all knew that Zhou Zhenshan was the mastermind. I wanted to confront him face to face, but Zhou Zhenshan had powerful internal energy and killed those who knew right in front of me without anyone noticing."

"If I were to capture the masked man again and bring him before him to identify him, I believe he would still kill him in the same way, so I left no survivors."

Chen Maoxin's eyes widened as he asked, "Do you have any other evidence to prove that Zhou Zhenshan is the mastermind?"

Qin Ran was taken aback: "No, that's all."

"Oh! You're so foolish! If there was no evidence, how could you so easily kill that monstrous-faced thief? Now we have no evidence, how are we supposed to arrest him?"

Kong Haorong's expression was also somewhat strange: "We all thought you had other evidence."

"There is no substantial evidence, but I know that Zhou Zhenshan is the mastermind behind it all."

Kong Haorong didn't reply, he just shrugged.

Chen Maoxin added, "Knowing is useless; you need to produce evidence."

"Director Chen, this matter isn't actually that complicated. Zhou Zhenshan now sees me as a thorn in his side. He failed in his attempt, and I suspect he'll take matters into his own hands next time. I'll stay in Beijing for the next few days, acting as bait to lure him into action. It's time for me to confront him head-on," Qin Ran said seriously.

Chen Maoxin sighed and said, "What you said makes sense, but it would be difficult for you to fight against Zhou Zhenshan on your own. His cultivation is extremely high, and he is not so easy to deal with."

"Director Chen, I have confidence in myself."

"Here's what we'll do: you go first, and I'll have the third group provide support from behind. That way, we'll be absolutely safe."

"No problem, let's do it this way," Qin Ran said.

"You guys go out first, let me calm down."

Qin Ran didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Yue Bufan and Kong Haoran followed closely behind.

After they went outside, they chatted for a few minutes, and then Qin Ran left.

He can't stay in the Super Defense Bureau forever.

We must leave this place to give Zhou Zhenshan a chance to make his move.

After leaving the Super Defense Bureau, Qin Ran went to the city.

He found a hotel to stay in.

at the same time……

Zhou Zhenshan has not been able to contact Sha Mian Liao since yesterday.

This guy has probably already been killed by Qin Ran.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The butler came in: "Mr. Zhou, there's been progress on the poisoning and corruption case involving employees of the Xijing Black Emperor Consortium that you've been following."

"What's the progress?"

"The president of the Black Emperor Group's Xijing branch held a press conference, claiming that the murderer has been brought to justice."

Zhou Zhenshan's heart skipped a beat.

He guessed right.

Qin Ran has already killed the Fiendish-faced Demon.

This good-for-nothing deserves to die.

It seems it's time for him to take action himself.

"Send someone to find out where Qin Ran is!"

"He should be in Xijing."

Zhou Zhenshan sneered: "That's not necessarily true. There's a good chance he's already in Kyoto."

Zhou Zhenshan guessed that Qin Ran already knew that the masked man was sent to Xijing by him.

Now that the Fiendish-faced Demon is dead, his next step should be to settle accounts with me.

"Understood, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

That evening, Qin Ran was cultivating in his room when his phone suddenly rang.

It's Fu Xueru.

"Senior Sister!"

When are you going back to Xi'an?

"It's not certain yet. We need to take down Zhou Zhenshan before we can go back."

"Junior brother, you haven't mastered the third part of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique yet. Zhou Zhenshan's cultivation is unfathomable. You must not underestimate him."

"I understand, senior sister, I'll be careful," Qin Ran said.

"How about this, I'll go to Kyoto to help you."

"No need, senior sister, I can handle it myself. The director of Bureau 749 also said that he will send someone to support me."

"Then I'm relieved. Call me if anything happens. Your senior sister is your strongest support."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran smiled.

When he first met Fu Xueru, he thought she was very aloof and always acted superior.

But after spending time with her, he still felt that Fu Xueru was a good person.

She is warm-hearted, kind, and full of justice; she is a wonderful and capable wife.

Qin Ran had a very good impression of her.

Afterwards, Qin Ran left the hotel to go out for a walk.

Although it's almost midnight, in a big city like Kyoto, the nightlife is just beginning.

Sports cars of all kinds can often be seen speeding by on the streets.

Besides, there are many handsome men and beautiful women.

Qin Ran walked along the moat opposite the hotel.

He stopped walking.

He faced the moat, gazing at the dazzling lights and bustling activity on the other side.

My thoughts kept wandering.

Since leaving the Dragon Prison and returning to the city, I have experienced a lot along the way.

Qin Ran knew in his heart that this battle against the underground Black Warriors was just a minor episode.

His real opponent is still the demonic path.

We are now only three senior sisters away from mastering the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.

He had no idea what he would face after mastering the skill.

Qin Ran was too lazy to think about it.

There's one more thing that hasn't made any progress to this day.

While meditating, Qin Ran subconsciously looked down at the double-dragon jade pendant around his neck.

The other half is with my sister.

But he had no idea where his sister was.

Qin Ran didn't know whether his younger sister was still alive.

He had no idea when he would be able to find his sister.

Previously, Qin Ran had planned to rebuild the Li family, which had been wiped out by the demonic forces.

May the Li family achieve new glory.

But a whole host of other things happened afterward.

This has prevented him from putting a concrete plan on the agenda until now.

Looking back now, there really were so many things to do.

At the same time, two sexy women passed by Qin Ran from behind.

He subconsciously turned his head to look.

In the past, he would have already been indulging in fantasies.

Now that he has Fu Xueru, his physical needs have also been met.

Qin Ran stayed by the moat for a while to get some fresh air before heading back to continue his cultivation.

As she approached the other end, she saw the two hot girls again.

At this moment, two hot girls are being harassed by four young men.

They were staggering around, clearly having drunk quite a bit.

"Hey beautiful, don't go! Play with me for a bit. If you serve this master well, you'll get great rewards."

"Get out of here, you bunch of drunks."

"Tch, what are you pretending for? You dress like that just to hook up with rich guys, right? I've got plenty of money."

"If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."

Qin Ran stood there with his hands behind his back, watching them.

One of the blond-haired men saw Qin Ran standing there and yelled, "What are you looking at? Get lost, or I'll break your legs."

The young man speaking spoke with a perfect Kyoto accent, clearly a local.

Qin Ran sneered: "I didn't expect to encounter such scoundrels as you in a metropolis like Kyoto. You're really tarnishing the city's reputation."

These words instantly enraged the four youths.

They are true locals, how could they put up with such humiliation?

The four people walked over and surrounded Qin Ran.

Upon seeing this, the two hot girls quickly fled the scene.

The young man in the lead had a slicked-back hairstyle, was dressed in designer clothes, and wore a Vacheron Constantin watch, looking very domineering.

"Where did you come from, you country bumpkin, daring to ruin my plans? I'm giving you two choices: either jump into the moat or we'll throw you into it. The choice is yours."

Qin Ran said, "What if I don't choose any of them?"

"If you don't choose, I'll torture you to death, I'll play you country bumpkins to death, it'll be no different than playing with a dog to death."
