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

Qin Ran could sense Xu Mosheng's sincerity.

He is upright and honest, making him the perfect candidate to serve as the president of the Martial Arts Association.

At noon, Xu Mosheng prepared a lavish lunch to entertain Qin Ran.

The two chatted a lot at the dinner table.

After lunch, Qin Ran left the Xu family.

After getting on the bus, he took out his phone.

Xue Zhirong sent several messages.

Because of what happened last time, the Black Emperor Consortium is still on holiday.

Feeling bored at home, Xue Zhirong contacted Qin Ran.

Qin Ran felt it had been a long time since they had seen each other and wanted to get together.

He replied to the message, saying he would be there soon.

About twenty minutes later, Qin Ran drove to the Black Emperor Group's talent apartment.

Xue Zhirong still lives here.

Upon arriving at the destination, Qin Ran began knocking on the door.

Xue Zhirong opened the door and said with a smile, "You're here."

After Qin Ran entered the room, the two sat down and started chatting.

After such a long time apart, Xue Zhirong's mental state has improved a lot.

She was a completely different person from when we first met.

Qin Ran vaguely remembered that when she first met Xue Zhirong, he was begging on the street like a beggar.

His leg was broken.

He was the one who stood up for Xue Zhirong back then.

After so long, Xue Zhirong has finally emerged from that dark period.

"I was very worried about you and Yao Zhiruo when the Black Emperor Consortium was poisoned last time. I thought you had gone to the third canteen for dinner too."

Xue Zhirong said, "Speaking of this, I was really lucky at the time. I was planning to eat at the third canteen, but I suddenly had an upset stomach around noon and went to the toilet several times. I didn't eat lunch that day. I still feel scared when I think about it now. After the incident, I contacted Yao Zhiruo and learned that she hadn't gone either, which put my mind at ease."

Qin Ran sighed softly: "In the end, it's my fault that I dragged those who were poisoned into this mess."

Why do you say that?

"Because the real purpose of the person who poisoned me was to take revenge on me. He had no grudge against those who were poisoned. However, I have already dealt with the murderer, which can be considered as avenging those who were poisoned," Qin Ran said expressionlessly.

"Don't blame yourself too much, and it's not entirely your fault either," Xue Zhirong comforted him.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you. How's work lately?"

"Work is pretty good, and I even recently started dating a girlfriend," Xue Zhirong grinned.

"Sure, are you colleagues?"

"They're not colleagues; I met them on social media."

"How long have you been talking?" Qin Ran asked.

"It's been almost two months, but her parents don't seem to approve of us being together, and I'm a bit confused now," Xue Zhirong said with a sigh.

Qin Ran asked, "Why?"

"You know my family situation, and I haven't bought a house yet, so her parents don't really agree."

"What was her attitude?" Qin Ran asked.

"Her attitude was ambiguous, and I've spent a lot of money during these two months of dating."

Qin Ran frowned slightly.

Something's not right here.

He knew very well that after he helped Xue Zhirong get justice, the government compensated Xue Zhirong with a sum of money.

This guy is a pretty honest person.

Qin Ran was worried that he was being scammed.

"Ah Rong, how much of the compensation the government gave you back then is left?"

"I've spent a lot of money during this time of dating, and..." Xue Zhirong's voice grew lower and lower.

"And what?"

"I also bought my girlfriend's younger brother a BMW, which cost over 300,000 yuan."

Qin Ran's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

He was right.

"Ah Rong, are you stupid? How could you do something so foolish?"

"Looking back, it was indeed a bit impulsive, but since the car had already been given away, I couldn't very well ask for it back."

Qin Ran said, "This isn't impulsiveness, it's stupidity. You've been blinded by love. Have you never been in a relationship before?"

Xue Zhirong nodded sheepishly.

"You've only been dating this woman for two months, and she's already asking you to buy a car for her brother. This is clearly a case of a woman who's obsessed with her brother. What normal woman would do something like this? A woman who really wants to build a life with you wouldn't want to spend your money. Once she's swindled all your money, she'll dump you."

Xue Zhirong touched his nose: "It can't be that serious, can it?"

"Of course you'll agree. Find some time to take me to meet her, and I'll give you a proper assessment."

"Okay, since I don't have any family anyway, you can act as my family and help me take a look."

Qin Ran sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, he found out early.

Otherwise, Xue Zhirong's money would definitely have been completely embezzled by that woman.

At the same time, Xue Zhirong's phone rang.

The caller was his girlfriend, Wen Tingting.

"Hello!"

"Come to Hang Lung Plaza. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the jewelry store on the fifth floor. I need to talk to you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Xue Zhirong said to Qin Ran, "My girlfriend asked me to go to Henglong Plaza to meet her."

"Come on, I'll go with you."

The two then drove to Hang Lung Plaza.

They went straight to the fifth floor.

Soon, Qin Ran saw a stylishly dressed girl standing in front of the jewelry store with a tall boy.

Xue Zhirong introduced that the man was her girlfriend, Wen Tingting, and the other man was her younger brother, Wen Panpan.

"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for over half an hour," Wen Tingting said, looking annoyed.

"I came as soon as I got your call."

Wen Tingting then said, "Let's go inside."

Qin Ran continued, "Let's make this clear first, what are we going in for?"

Wen Tingting sized up Qin Ran: "Who are you?"

"His name is Qin Ran, and he's my good buddy," Xue Zhirong said.

Wen Tingting crossed her arms, looking displeased: "My brother has his eye on a gold necklace that costs over 30,000 yuan. As his brother-in-law, you should at least offer something in return."

"Brother-in-law, you've already given me a BMW, you shouldn't mind giving me a gold necklace too, right?" Wen Panpan said with a teasing smile.

Xue Zhirong felt somewhat helpless.

He has already bought Wen Tingting a lot of cosmetics and bags.

Now she also wants to buy a gold necklace for her younger brother.

He was somewhat unwilling.

Qin Ran was also getting angry: "Don't call me that! Who's your brother-in-law?!"

"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak?" Wen Panpan questioned.

"Xue Zhirong and your sister aren't married yet. If you want to buy a necklace, go buy it yourself. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. What kind of behavior is it to spend other people's money?" Qin Ran scoffed.

Wen Panpan instantly flew into a rage: "Sis, can't you control your boyfriend? Where did he find these shady friends?!"

Wen Tingting was also furious. She glared at Xue Zhirong and said, "Xue Zhirong, what exactly do you mean? Are you deliberately sending someone to humiliate me?"

"No, Qin Ran is my good friend, and what he said is right. I don't think this is appropriate. We're not married yet."

"You think you're so great now, huh? You know my family doesn't approve of us being together. I'm giving you a chance to please them and show them your sincerity, and you still refuse. You really don't know your place," Wen Tingting scoffed.

Xue Zhirong kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Qin Ran gave a cold laugh.

He realized that this woman was a gold digger.

Her purpose in approaching Xue Zhirong was to obtain the compensation money he had received.

"Listen up, if your family doesn't agree, fine. You think Xue Zhirong can curry favor with your family? No way. You think I don't know your little schemes? There are gold diggers like you everywhere on the street, shameless." Qin Ran launched into a tirade.

People coming and going all turned their attention to it.

Wen Tingting was panting heavily.

Damn it, where did this guy come from?

Xue Zhirong was originally honest and easy to manipulate.

But then, a good friend suddenly appeared.

This is infuriating!

"Shut your dog mouth. This is none of your business. This is between me and Xue Zhirong. It's none of your business to interfere."

Wen Panpan also threatened, "If you meddle in other people's business again, I'll have someone beat you up."
