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

Chu Wan'er was speechless.

Faced with the facts, what else could she say?

Sun Qing looked at Chu Qingcheng with a face full of malice.

What kind of magic did this woman use on Xie Menglong to make him obediently return the money?

This can't go on.

Chu Qingcheng has already performed meritorious service twice.

If this continues, he will definitely threaten Chu Wan'er's position in the Chu family.

Chu Zhenlong said with a smile, "Qingcheng, you did a great job this time. You got back 200 million yuan. Combined with the cooperation you secured with the Black Emperor Consortium last time, you have made two great contributions to the Chu Group. I would like to commend you for this."

The board members were even more surprised to learn that Chu Qingcheng had also secured the previous cooperation with the Black Emperor Consortium.

The next second, they started clapping.

Applause resounded throughout the conference room.

In this situation, Chu Qingcheng felt extremely proud.

She knew in her heart that it was impossible for her, given her status in the Chu family, to expect any real reward from the old man.

It's already quite kind of the old man to praise him in this kind of setting.

But Chu Qingcheng would not be discouraged.

She needs to keep working hard.

The next goal is to find Qin Shaohuang.

They must find Qin Shaohuang by any means necessary.

While meditating, Chu Qingcheng glanced at Chu Wan'er and Sun Qing beside her.

Both mother and daughter looked very unwell.

Chu Qingcheng remembered clearly that Sun Qing had said she would kneel down to her if she got the money back.

Chu Qingcheng would not bring it up again in this situation.

If this were brought up, people would think she's complacent and unforgiving after achieving even a little success.

This is not what Chu Qingcheng wanted to see.

"Grandpa, this is what I should do. I've completed my task, so I won't disturb your meeting any longer. I'll be leaving now." Chu Qingcheng said and walked out of the meeting room.

The board meeting then continued.

During the meeting, both Chu Wan'er and Sun Qing seemed distracted.

It was a long and difficult time before the meeting finally ended.

Chu Wan'er returned to her office.

Sun Qing followed as well.

"Daughter, there must be something fishy going on here. Knowing Chu Qingcheng as I do, she absolutely cannot get those two hundred million back on her own," Sun Qing said expressionlessly.

"I think so too. I analyzed the problem carefully just now, and it seems that someone is helping her."

"Call Xie Menglong again and ask him to clarify."

Chu Wan'er picked up her phone and dialed Xie Menglong's number again.

"Miss Chu, I've already paid you back. What more do you want?"

"Mr. Xie, I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?"

"Given your personality, you would never pay back those two hundred million. So why did you pay it back when Chu Qingcheng asked you for it?" Chu Wan'er asked bluntly.

"Aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to? Your Chu family hired someone to help you, how could I not repay them?"

Chu Wan'er gave a cold laugh.

Just as she guessed.

Someone is helping Chu Qingcheng.

Tell me who this person is?

"His name is Qin Ran. This guy is terrifying. He's not even afraid of ghosts. He took 500 million from me and another 100 million from Hou Si, the dog farm owner. We had no choice but to pay him in order to survive."

Chu Wan'er's expression was solemn.

It turned out that Qin Ran was helping Chu Qingcheng.

No wonder.

"I understand, you can go ahead with your work." Chu Wan'er said and hung up the phone.

Sun Qing hurriedly asked, "What did Xie Menglong say?"

"Qin Ran helped Chu Qingcheng get this money back."

"I knew it! She has no way of getting that money back. That bitch is utterly despicable. She actually got involved with that stinking convict. She's completely disgraced the Chu family. I'm going to tell your grandfather right now."

Sun Qing was about to leave after she finished speaking.

"Mom, don't go yet."

"What's wrong?"

"Xie Menglong just said that he gave Qin Ran 500 million yuan, and the dog farm owner Hou Si gave him 100 million yuan. Obviously, they wanted to join forces to deal with Qin Ran, but they were no match for him, so they had no choice but to obediently pay up."

"So, what are you trying to say?" Sun Qing asked.

Chu Wan'er said, "It's obvious that Chu Qingcheng wants to use Qin Ran to gain a foothold in the Chu family. She probably wants to find Qin Shaohuang through Qin Ran."

Sun Qing suddenly realized.

Qin Ran also came from the Dragon Prison, so he might actually know where Qin Shaohuang is.

If he tells that bitch Chu Qingcheng.

Wouldn't that mean she'd beat them to it?

"Daughter, what do we do now? We haven't found any news about Qin Shaohuang yet. We can't let that bitch find him first."

"I need to go see Qin Ran."

……

Qin Ran slept until the sun was high in the sky.

After getting up and having breakfast, he went to the yard.

The weather is exceptionally nice today.

Qin Ran stretched in the yard, feeling incredibly refreshed.

Just then, the phone rang.

Qin Ran took out her phone.

It was an unfamiliar number.

He guessed that there was a fifty percent chance that the call was from Chu Wan'er.

"Hello!"

"Qin Ran, I am Chu Wan'er."

Qin Ran smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

He was right, just as expected.

He knew Chu Wan'er would definitely come looking for him.

He helped Chu Qingcheng get the money back, and Chu Wan'er will definitely call Xie Menglong to ask why he suddenly returned the money.

Xie Menglong will naturally tell the truth.

Without time to think, Qin Ran smiled and said, "Oh, it's my wife. Is there something you need?"

"We don't seem to be that close."

"Since you put it that way, I'll hang up now, I have something to do," Qin Ran said deliberately.

"Don't hang up yet, I need to talk to you."

"What is it?"

"Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together."

Qin Ran paused for a moment: "You're going to treat this ex-convict to a meal? Did I hear you right?"

"You heard me right, are you willing to give me a straight answer?"

"Sure, no problem. Why not go if someone's treating?"

"I'll send the location and time to your phone later."

Qin Ran hung up the phone without saying anything.

A wicked smile crept across his lips.

The fish has taken the bait!

Afterwards, Qin Ran prepared to go out for a stroll in the neighborhood.

He had just stepped out of the yard when he saw two men in black suits coming out of the villa next door.

The two men were carrying a black woven bag.

The two walked one after the other toward the van in the parking space.

Qin Ran could tell at a glance that the black woven bag contained a person.

In his memory, no one lived next door.

He hasn't seen anyone next door since he moved in.

Suddenly, something moved inside the black bag.

Qin Ran called out, "Wait a minute."

The two men in black suits were taken aback for a moment, then their sharp gazes fell on Qin Ran.

One of the boys asked irrationally, "What's the matter?"

Qin Ran walked over with his hands behind his back: "What's in this bag?"

"Kid, don't meddle in things that aren't your business, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

"Do you think I'm an ordinary person that I can live in this community?" Qin Ran retorted.

The man with the mustache sneered, "I admit that those who live in this neighborhood are not ordinary people, but even among the upper class, there are different levels."

"You can be a self-important rich person in your circle, but the real Heavenly Palace is something you can't access."

"Let me tell you, the owner of this villa is from the Heavenly Palace. He can wipe your entire family out of this world with just a word. I advise you to mind your own business..."

Qin Ran's face was full of mockery.

He knew that the Heavenly Palace the other party mentioned referred to was a top-tier, powerful and influential place.

The wealth and power held by these people are immeasurable.

Qin Ran had indeed never met this type of person before.

but……

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

Little Beard was beaten to a pulp.

"You...you dare to hit me." The man with the small mustache glared at Qin Ran.

"You not only threatened me, but you also tried to lecture me. I hate it more than anyone other than my master lecturing me. Hitting you is doing you a favor. If you know what's good for you, leave the bag and get out of here," Qin Ran scolded.

"court death……"

With a snarl, the man with the small mustache charged at Qin Ran.

Another tall guy rushed over as well.
