"I don't believe it! You're extorting us! Fraud!" the man with glasses roared. If they had to pay, not only would the money they had earned be gone, but they would also have to pay extra. Who would be willing to do that?
Qin Xuan shrugged. "Since that's the case, I'll have to call the police and let the police handle it."
"Hmph, we're not afraid of the police. Your product has problems, and now you want to extort our money. Let's see who gets arrested!" These people knew that their group's young master had great influence in Jiangbei and had his backing, so they had no reason to be afraid.
Qin Xuan smiled without a word and signaled the security guards to call the police. The security guards nodded and quickly took out their phones to report. Qin Xuan, meanwhile, took out his phone and sent a text message to Dan Bend. He had helped Dan Bend extend his life, so it shouldn't be a problem for Dan Bend to help him with a small favor. As expected, not long after, Dan Bend's reply came back: three simple words, "No problem."
Even though it was past midnight, officers from the police station arrived in less than ten minutes. There were three of them: an older, experienced police chief leading two younger officers. Seeing the police arrive, several employees from the Jin Corporation quickly made accusations.
"Police chief, you've arrived at just the right time. This company's product quality is problematic, and they are extorting us consumers!"
The old police chief waved his hand impatiently. "Got it, got it, noisy."
The old police chief asked the two younger officers to investigate the situation, while he approached Qin Xuan. He looked Qin Xuan up and down and then asked, "Your name is Qin Xuan?"
Qin Xuan nodded, not denying it. The old police chief glanced around, saw the mess on the ground, and then said to Qin Xuan in a low voice, "My name is Guo Chao. Clan Leader Dan has informed me. If you need any help, just say the word."
Knowing he was from Dan Bend's group, Qin Xuan didn't conceal anything. "These people were likely hired to cause trouble. Please help me clear them out and find out who sent them."
Guo Chao nodded. "Alright."
Guo Chao turned and walked over to the two young officers. "Did you find anything out?"
The two officers hesitated, looking as if they had something to say but were reluctant. Guo Chao frowned and let out a low growl, "Speak."
One officer reluctantly said, "Captain Guo, they are all Jin Shikui's men. Jin Shikui has an unusual relationship with the Deputy Director, so..."
Guo Chao heard this and immediately slapped them both on the back of their heads. "What's there to be afraid of? Just because they have connections, does that mean we should bend the law? Who will dare to trust us then? Arrest all of them! They're causing a disturbance at someone's company in the middle of the night. Take them back for interrogation."
"But... what if the Deputy Director blames us..." The two young officers clearly hesitated to act. Guo Chao then let out a cold snort. "I'm your captain. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
"Yes, sir." Only then did the two officers take action and handcuff the ringleaders. The shifty man with glasses looked at Guo Chao in anger. "I'm Young Master Jin's man! How dare you arrest me!"
Guo Chao smiled contemptuously. "Young Master Jin? He's nothing. Don't talk about you, even if it were him, if he breaks the law, I'll still arrest him!"
Seeing their companions being arrested, the rest of them immediately panicked. While Guo Chao wasn't paying attention, they fled, not even bothering to pick up their money, leaving it on the ground as they ran. Guo Chao didn't chase after them. It was enough that he had arrested the ringleaders.
Guo Chao told Qin Xuan that these people were from the Jin Corporation, and Qin Xuan vaguely understood. It must have been Jin Shikui wanting revenge on Tantai. After all, the previous incident had caused him to lose face throughout Jiangbei. Given his character, he wouldn't let it go. Qin Xuan snorted coldly, thinking, Jin Shikui, just wait. You'll soon know the taste of the Jiangbei River.
After Guo Chao left, Tantai Yue, who was standing beside Qin Xuan, suddenly looked at him and asked, "Qin Xuan, are those fish really koi? Are they worth that much?" Tantai Yue had worked there for several years and had watched those goldfish grow. How had they suddenly become koi?
Qin Xuan said with a chuckle, "I just made it up. Those things can't adapt to the environment of our Dragon Country's waters. They can't be raised domestically. I was just scaring them."
Tantai Yue said indignantly, "You wicked guy. You used to be so honest, how have you become so bad?" Qin Xuan looked into her expressive, captivating eyes and smiled. "If I'm not bad to others, how can I protect you?"
Tantai Yue blushed and murmured, "You're talking nonsense."
Inside the Jin family villa. "Damn it, a bunch of useless idiots! They want me to pay bail? Impossible, not a chance! Let them all die!" Jin Shikui was so angry that he smashed his phone to the ground, shattering it. The Jin Corporation had just called Jin Shikui to tell him that the police station had called asking Jin Shikui to pay bail for the arrested employees. He hadn't even finished the task he'd assigned, and now they wanted him to pay? No way! "Qin Xuan! Tantai Yue, a pair of bitches! Just you wait!"
The next day, sunlight streamed into Qin Xuan's room. Qin Xuan, who had been meditating before the medicinal cauldron, suddenly opened his eyes, instantly retracting the dragon energy around the cauldron. After refining for the entire night, Qin Xuan stood up and opened the cauldron. A pill full of green vitality lay quietly inside. Qin Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle and put the pill in it. This was already the fifth one. "Finally finished. I didn't expect to be sitting here all night." Qin Xuan hadn't expected it to be so fast, but he had failed several times overnight. With a total of twelve portions of materials, Qin Xuan had failed seven times and only succeeded five times. This was a relatively simple pill, and Qin Xuan found it difficult to refine. He wondered how complex and tedious those heaven-defying pills in his memory must have been! Qin Xuan exhaled. These were not things he should be thinking about now. The top priority was how to completely eliminate Jin Shikui. Qin Xuan himself wasn't afraid of him, but he was afraid that Jin Shikui would target Tantai Yue. Qin Xuan couldn't be by her side all the time. If something unexpected happened, Qin Xuan would regret it too late. That evening, Qin Xuan had someone deliver the medicine.
Dan Bend received the medicine and was somewhat skeptical. After all, a pill that could extend one's life could be described as unbelievable. Dan Bend recalled seeing a life-extending pill at an auction overseas. It was bought by someone who was only expected to live for another half a month, and after taking the pill, he lived for only a month. Therefore, Dan Bend was still apprehensive. What if this thing didn't work, and he had spent a hundred million, only to die in half a year? He would lose both money and life. Wang Youhai, standing beside him, naturally saw Dan Bend's worry. He patted Dan Bend on the shoulder and chuckled, "What are you hesitating about? You've already spent the money, aren't you going to take it? Anyway, you old man don't have much time left. If this pill is poisonous, you'll just die a few days earlier, not much difference. But what if it works?"
