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

Just as Qin Ran was about to speak, Gu Xinrou leaned over and whispered, "You've already taught him a lesson. If you give him another punishment later, and then fire him, the other executives will be watching and will feel pressured and think you're heartless."

After hearing this, Qin Ran glanced around.

He noticed that everyone was indeed looking at him with fear in their eyes.

He didn't want to appear inhumane here.

"I'll let you off this time because President Gu pleaded for you. But if I ever see you acting like a bully again, you'll be fired immediately," Qin Ran said sternly.

"Thank you for your mercy, Chairman. I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future and serve you like a dog." Jin Dachuan said humbly.

"And you two lackeys, you better behave yourselves from now on. If this happens again, you're all fired."

The bearded man who had been shot in the head by Qin Ran, and another man with a buzz cut, were so scared that they didn't dare to utter a sound.

Qin Ran then left.

Gu Xinrou also dismissed everyone.

Back in the office, Qin Ran chatted with Gu Xinrou for a few minutes before leaving.

After leaving the Black Emperor Consortium, he got into his car and prepared to go back.

Just then, my phone rang.

Qin Ran looked at it and saw it was Chu Wan'er.

"Hello!"

"Do you have time? Let's meet somewhere; I'd like to talk to you."

"We've talked about everything we needed to talk about, there's nothing more to discuss. If you want to know where Qin Shaohuang is, then agree to my request, and that's it," Qin Ran said impatiently.

"You said at the party last night that Chu Qingcheng was your woman. Since you said that, how can you expect me to sleep with you? How about we make a deal? You tell me where Qin Shaohuang is, and I'll have my grandfather marry Chu Qingcheng to you." Chu Wan'er's tone was very sincere.

Qin Ran sneered after hearing this.

This woman has a pretty good plan.

Unfortunately, this tactic didn't work on him.

He could easily win over Chu Qingcheng without needing Chu Wan'er's help.

"I was just saying it casually last night. I know Chu Qingcheng likes Qin Shaohuang, but then again, she does need a man to protect her right now, so I'm considering telling her where Qin Shaohuang is." Qin Ran said this deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wan'er immediately became anxious: "Qin Ran, let's talk this over. Please don't tell Chu Qingcheng about Qin Shaohuang's whereabouts. I'll give you whatever money you want."

"I don't want money, I just want to sleep with you. If you've thought it through, come find me at No. 1 Jinshui Bay. If not, then forget it and don't bother me."

Qin Ran hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

He wanted to tell Chu Wan'er that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Use this attitude to force the other party to comply.

Qin Ran put down his phone and prepared to head home.

Just then, a disheveled man knocked on the car window.

Qin Ran rolled down the car window: "Is something the matter?"

"Boss, are you still drinking that bottle of water? If not, give me the bottle."

After hearing this, Qin Ran looked at the unfinished mineral water bottle.

He then opened the armrest box and took out some banknotes.

"Here, take the bottle and the money."

The man seemed very excited: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

"You don't look that old, why don't you go find a job?"

"I... broke my leg, I can't work, and nowhere will hire me."

At the same time, Qin Ran noticed something was wrong.

He opened the car door and got out, then began to carefully examine the man.

He was filthy, and his right leg was supported by a crutch.

Qin Ran began to scrutinize his appearance again.

This man looks vaguely familiar.

"Push your hair to the side a little," Qin Ran said.

"What's wrong, boss?" the man asked, and did as he was told.

He was disheveled, with his hair falling across his face, so Qin Ran couldn't see his face clearly.

Now Qin Ran finally saw things clearly.

He was utterly shocked.

"Xue Zhirong!"

Qin Ran was somewhat bewildered.

Xue Zhirong was his high school deskmate.

He was also his best friend.

Later, before finishing high school, Qin Ran went to prison to take the blame for Qin Hao.

He never saw Xue Zhirong again after that.

Qin Ran couldn't recognize Xue Zhirong at all now.

He was the same age as me, in his early twenties.

But he looked to be forty years old, his face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles.

"You know me!" Xue Zhirong stared blankly at Qin Ran.

"I'm Qin Ran. We were deskmates in high school."

"Qin...Qin Ran?"

"Yes, it's me."

After learning the other party's identity, Xue Zhirong turned and left.

Qin Ran stopped him, saying, "Don't go, what happened to you?"

"Don't ask anymore, I don't want you to laugh at me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I laugh at you?"

Xue Zhirong looked at Qin Ran: "My parents are dead, and my legs have been broken. I can't work, so I can only beg on the streets and collect bottles."

"Who did it?"

"It's a long story," Xue Zhirong said, lowering his head.

"Come on, get in the car first, let's go to my house, and we'll talk slowly."

"But I look like this..."

"It's okay, I won't look down on you."

Qin Ran pulled Xue Zhirong into the car.

On the way back, Qin Ran asked about the situation.

Xue Zhirong lived at school when he was in high school.

He lives in Shazigang Village, Pingtung County, Xijing City.

His home was located by the roadside in the village, and it just so happened that the area was being demolished and the road was under construction.

His parents refused to move because the compensation offered by the demolition company was insufficient.

This matter remained deadlocked for a long time.

Later, the company in charge of the demolition and the village chief joined forces to demolish his house in the middle of the night.

His parents were crushed to death in their sleep.

Xue Zhirong's leg was broken during his appeal for justice, after which he became homeless on the streets.

Qin Ran was furious after learning the whole story.

He stated that he would seek justice for Xue Zhirong.

Qin Ran soon drove home.

The two got out of the car.

Xue Zhirong was very surprised: "You live here?"

"yes."

"Didn't you go to jail back then? How come you're living in a big villa now? Also, your appearance has changed a lot. You used to be as skinny as a monkey, but now you're so strong. I didn't even recognize you just now."

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"But I'm too dirty, so I won't go in."

"Hey, stop dawdling and let's go."

Qin Ran pulled Xue Zhirong into the villa.

Xue Zhirong was stunned when he saw the luxurious interior.

This is so luxurious.

He had never seen such a mansion before.

It seems Qin Ran has already made his fortune. Looking at himself, he felt even worse.

"Go take a shower first, I'll find you some clothes, and then I'll shave your head. We'll discuss the rest later."

Half an hour later.

Xue Zhirong came out after taking a shower and changed into Qin Ran's clothes.

Now he's finally starting to look like a human being.

Qin Ran then shaved his head.

I feel much more energetic now.

After doing all this, Qin Ran checked his right leg again.

Xue Zhirong suffered a fracture in his right leg, and due to the lack of timely treatment, his bone became severely dislocated.

However, this was no challenge for Qin Ran.

I can heal your leg.

"Don't be ridiculous. I've had this problem for years. It's incurable. I'll be disabled for the rest of my life." Xue Zhirong said, then lowered his head in self-consciousness.

"I said I can cure it, but it requires surgery. I'll make the preparations and perform the surgery myself. Right now, I'll help you go back to your village and get justice."

"Qin Ran, our village chief's backer is the boss of Yuncheng Development Company in the county. His name is Fang Gang. This guy is all-powerful in our county. I'm afraid you're no match for them," Xue Zhirong said with some concern.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise I'll take care of it for you. I'll get back what you lost. We'll go to your village tomorrow."
