"Grandpa wants you to rest and cultivate yourself, not to make your brain dull."
Qin Xian does not oppose his heroic rescue of a beauty, as long as he has the ability to save her.
Someone like him, who is brave but lacks wisdom, rashly charging in.
In the end, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Use your brain, okay? If you really want to save her, there are so many people in the Qin Family; just a phone call and there would be people rushing over.
Why bother doing it yourself?
Moreover, his own physical condition is still the same.
It's simply overestimating oneself.
And after the incident, he even thought about hiding it from him, taking all the blame for her.
If this weren't his brother, Qin Xian would really want to strangle him.
Qin Xian was fuming when someone oblivious to the situation came to trouble him.
"Young Master Qin, Director Wang is calling." A bodyguard walked in holding a ringing phone and handed it to Qin Xian.
As soon as Qin Xian answered the phone, the other party got straight to the point: "Young Master Qin, this is Xiao Wang. I've taken care of what you asked me to do. The Lu Family mother and son agreed to settle privately, but..."
"But what?"
Director Wang continued, "But the amount they are asking for is not just one million; they want three million, plus a house."
Three million.
Even Director Wang couldn't help but exclaim that this was simply outrageous.
"They also said they would only give you one day to prepare. If you exceed this deadline, they will take it to court and make sure you regret it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian coldly laughed, "Is that so? What a pity, but right now I don't want to give them a single cent."
If he were unaware of the situation, he might have blinked at the thought of using that money to settle things down.
However, that person had nearly caused Qin Xinyi's death. If Lu Qisheng's bottle had fallen just a second later, Qin Xinyi might no longer be in this world.
At that point, even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to repay.
Now his family didn't understand how to back down gracefully; instead, they raised their demands, treating him like a mindless cash cow.
Qin Xian's gaze turned cold as he fell silent, deep in thought.
The next day, the Lu Family Mother and Son eagerly awaited the substantial compensation that would come after the drunken man's death.
For them, they had long wished for his demise so they wouldn't have to deal with his daily drunken antics or the debt collectors surrounding their home every day.
Now it seemed their wish had come true; he had finally died and even implicated a wealthy heir in the process, allowing them to receive money and a house without any effort.
It was like a pie falling from the sky.
However, they waited an entire day without receiving any so-called compensation.
Even the people at the police station were pushing each other away with excuses, and no one dared to step forward.
They were furious and sought appeals from various parties, yet no one was willing to take on the case, as if someone was manipulating everything from within.
However, they were still unwilling to accept that the opportunity had slipped away.
They sought connections and finally found a lawyer willing to take on the case.
This lawyer had achieved remarkable success in the industry, but he was always lacking an opportunity to make a name for himself.
They hit it off immediately; one sought wealth, while the other sought fame. They began to confront the unknown so-called wealthy second-generation powers behind this situation.
...
Shu Ran felt anxious and worried after learning about Xu Yan Ying's entanglement with Qin Xian in certain matters.
Xu Yan Ying was her senior. Although their previous incident had created a rift between them, he had always taken care of her and treated her well.
What kind of person was Qin Xian? What kind of person was Xu Yan Ying? People like them could not provoke Qin Xian.
Let alone confront him.
She still remembered how, when she finally mustered the courage to ask what was going on, Qin Xian looked at her with his cold, piercing gaze, making her feel both unfamiliar and fearful.
The more he refused to tell her, the more uneasy she became.
"Knock knock..." A series of knocks interrupted her thoughts.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Li Xin rushed in, drenched in sweat, his expression anxious as if he were about to cry.
Shu Ran immediately stood up and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Li Xin grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "Shu Ran, Lu Qisheng is missing."
Shu Ran exclaimed in surprise, "What? How could that be?"
"Didn't she take leave because of family matters these past few days?"
Li Xin nodded, "Yes, so I thought I would stop by her house this morning to check on her and see if she needed any help."
"But when I got to her house, there were a lot of people gathered outside. I went over to ask and heard them say that Lu Qisheng killed her father and then fled."
"I couldn't believe it, so I called her, but I couldn't get through. What should we do, Shu Ran? Is this really true? Could something have happened to Lu Qisheng?"
Li Xin tightly gripped her hand, feeling anxious inside.
Shu Ran gently patted her hand in comfort and said, "Don't worry yet. Lu Qisheng is my colleague; if something happened to her, I definitely won't stand by. How about this? You keep trying to contact her, and after my class, we'll go check it out together."
"Okay."
After class, Li Xin still couldn't reach her by phone. Home phone, mobile phone, WeChat—none of them worked.
Even their mutual friends had no idea where she had gone.
It was as if she had vanished into thin air without a trace.
Shu Ran and Li Xin decided to go to her residence to gather some information.
In the parking lot.
Li Xin stood in front of a brand new white Audi, her eyes wide as she examined it from top to bottom, occasionally reaching out to touch it.
Shu Ran sat inside the car and, seeing her lost in thought, leaned against the window and called out, "Xin Xin, what are you doing? Get in the car."
"I'm coming!" Li Xin hurried over and opened the door.
As soon as she got in, Li Xin incredulously asked, "Shu Ran, is this your car?"
"Uh..." Shu Ran paused her hands on the steering wheel, nervously denying, "It's my friend's."
Shu Ran didn't want to draw too much attention to herself to avoid unnecessary gossip. However, it seemed like Qin Xian had someone monitoring her; as soon as she didn't drive, his calls would come pouring in.
With him acting this way, Shu Ran felt she had no choice but to drive.
"Oh..." Li Xin nodded skeptically.
In fact, there were many rumors about Shu Ran. Some teachers had privately suggested that she was being supported by a wealthy benefactor.
After all, why else would all the equity and assets of the entire kindergarten suddenly be transferred to her name? She even hired a capable and experienced man as the vice principal on her own.
The entire kindergarten had undergone a complete renovation; the teaching equipment and resources were now sufficient to rival other upscale kindergartens.
This was definitely not something a 25-year-old woman could achieve on her own.
