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

At the same time, Gu Yuanshen, who was sitting in the car, also received a call from Xing Haifeng.

"Uncle Gu, you've seen Xinrou, haven't you? I'll definitely do my best at the dinner the day after tomorrow. I've even prepared a gift for Xinrou."

"Nephew, something's come up here. I'll contact you again once I've dealt with it. Let's cancel the dinner the day after tomorrow," Gu Yuanshen said with a dark face.

"What happened? Doesn't Xinrou want to see me?"

Gu Yuanshen said, "When I saw Xinrou just now, she brought a man with her. This man is named Qin Ran. Xinrou claims that Qin Ran is her boyfriend. What's even more infuriating is that this guy is a former convict who was just released from prison not long ago."

"What? Xinrou actually found a convict as her boyfriend?" Xing Haifeng was very surprised.

"Don't get excited. Based on my observation, it seems that Qin Ran used sweet words to bewitch Xinrou. I'm already thinking of a way to deal with him. Once I've dealt with him, Xinrou will still be yours."

"Uncle, let me do this. Xinrou is my future wife. I won't allow any man to get close to her. I'll make this Qin Ran pay the price."

Gu Yuanshen thought about it and finally agreed.

Since Xing Haifeng wants to take action, let him do it.

This way, Gu Xinrou can see his determination.

After exchanging a few words, Gu Yuanshen hung up the phone.

……

Time flew by and it was evening.

Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou went to a Western restaurant.

As night deepened, an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the Western restaurant.

The two ate and chatted.

Qin Ran steered the conversation back to what had happened before.

"Who is that guy your dad introduced you to?"

Gu Xinrou answered truthfully: "His name is Xing Haifeng. The Xing family is a prominent family in Shanghai, and they own a group called Tianqi Group."

"Xing Haifeng went abroad for further studies many years ago, and he only returned to China last month."

"In my mind, the Xing family is a particularly mysterious family."

"The Xing family is not an old family. Xing Haifeng's father, Xing Tiannan, founded Tianqi Group more than 20 years ago. In more than 20 years, he has built the group into a company with a market value of hundreds of billions."

"It's said that Xing Tiannan rose to power with the help of a mysterious force, but I don't know exactly what that force is..."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful after hearing this.

It seems the Xing family is quite powerful.

No wonder Gu Yuanshen was so eager to marry Gu Xinrou to Xing Haifeng.

Qin Ran also wanted to find a formidable opponent to test his skills against.

Qin Ran then asked, "Did you and Xing Haifeng grow up together?"

"No, I've just known him since I was a child. Actually, I'm not that close to him."

"I see."

Gu Xinrou changed the subject abruptly: "Why are you wearing this jade pendant around your neck?"

"I wear it around my neck in the hope that someone will see it, recognize the jade pendant, and know its origin, so that I can find out about my family background."

"I must say your method is quite good, considering you come into contact with all sorts of people every day," Gu Xinrou praised.

That's what I think.

As the two were chatting, four or five men in trench coats suddenly rushed into the Western restaurant.

They walked straight toward Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Gu, our young master invites you to come with us."

Qin Ran sized up the men in black.

Their attire is somewhat reminiscent of characters from The Matrix.

Qin Ran could also sense that these were all martial artists.

"Who is your young master?" Qin Ran asked, clearly annoyed.

"Xing Haifeng!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou exchanged a glance.

It seems Xing Haifeng is quite fast.

"Go back and tell him that I will go to see him when I have time," Gu Xinrou said to the leader of the men in black.

"Our young master said he must see both of you tonight."

Qin Ran sneered, "Just because I tell you to go doesn't mean I have to. Who do you think you are?"

"You're asking for death." The leader of the men in black was about to attack after saying that.

"Wait a minute," Gu Xinrou stopped her.

The man in black lowered his right hand after hearing this.

Gu Xinrou looked at Qin Ran and said, "Since Xing Haifeng invited us over, let's go. I wanted to take this opportunity to clear things up with him so that we won't have any trouble later."

"Okay, whatever you say." Qin Ran shrugged.

After saying that, Qin Ran got up to pay the bill.

The two followed the man in black out of the restaurant.

After leaving the house, they got into a black minivan under the guidance of the men in black.

Then they left.

A Cadillac Escalade led the way.

A minivan followed behind.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of a rather secluded villa.

Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou got out of the car.

They followed the men in black into the villa.

Upon entering the living room, Xing Haifeng, dressed in a suit and tie, was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar.

There were more than a dozen men in black standing in the large living room.

They were all wearing trench coats.

Xing Haifeng smiled when he saw Gu Xinrou: "Xinrou, long time no see, you're still as beautiful as ever."

"Young Master Xing, I've come here to make things clear. I don't like you, and please stop having my father try to match us up." Gu Xinrou's face was as cold as ice, devoid of any expression.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, I understand you're distant towards me. Feelings can be cultivated, we can get to know each other slowly in the future." Xing Haifeng finished speaking and took a puff of his cigar.

Gu Xinrou said impatiently, "But I already have a boyfriend. I'm a woman who's loyal in relationships. Once I've made a choice, I won't let go."

"Hahaha, that's what I like about you. I know you must have been fooled by this convict to say such things. I'll make sure you settle things between you two." Xing Haifeng finished speaking and made a gesture.

The next second, a man in black rushed towards Qin Ran.

He was incredibly fast, like a blur.

Qin Ran was faster.

He gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

The opponent was sent flying just as it was about to get close to him.

Upon seeing this, the other men in black immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Xing Haifeng looked at Qin Ran with a sinister expression: "I didn't realize that you, a convict, were actually a martial artist."

"If you know what's good for you, stay away from Gu Xinrou. If you don't, I'll cripple you tonight. The choice is yours," Qin Ran said.

"You? Kill him!"

When Xing Haifeng gave the order, his body also erupted with true energy.

This shows that he was also a martial arts practitioner.

At the same time, more than a dozen men in black rushed towards Qin Ran in the living room.

Several bursts of true energy erupted from Qin Ran's body.

Each burst of true energy pierced the men in black like a sharp sword.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black were all lying on the ground.

Xing Haifeng's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

How could a convict be so strong?

In an instant, he killed a martial artist who was over ten meters tall.

The strength Qin Ran just displayed was at least above the seventh-grade martial artist level.

It seems we'll need to use some more skill to deal with him.

Qin Ran tilted his head and looked at Xing Haifeng: "Xinrou and I were talking about you when we were having dinner earlier. He said your Xing family was very powerful, but now it seems they're nothing special. My opponents are always so easily defeated. It's really boring."
