Qin Yi chatted with Lan Jiaojiao for a while before preparing to leave.
"Can you give that check?" Qin Yi reached out his hand; when it cos to money, he never forgets.
"What check?"
"Two checks, you only gave one. Don’t try to cheat ."
"Didn’t we say that one check would be canceled out by eting your wife’s sister?"
Qin Yi was instantly furious, "Lan Jiaojiao, cut the tricks. One thing has nothing to do with the other."
Lan Jiaojiao handed the other check to Qin Yi disdainfully, "Just teasing you, I’ve never seen soone so crazy about money."
Qin Yi took the check and dashed off, no one was going to swindle his money.
Tis are tough now. Although most of the 210 million took by Xia Yujiang eventually returned to him, the Xia Group needs at least 500 million for land buying and building. He’s also borrowed over 300 million from Liu Zhanyuan, so he desperately needs to find a way to repay the money.
Qin Yi left the cafe, intending to take a taxi ho. Unexpectedly, Lan Jiaojiao ran out in a hurry.
"Qin Yi, wait a minute!"
Qin Yi turned around and looked at her in surprise, "What’s up?"
"My grandpa wants you to co ho with ." A mont ago, as Qin Yi was leaving, she suddenly received a call from her grandfather, insisting she must invite Qin Yi to co back ho.
Qin Yi thought for a mont, then said, "But I need to go ho."
Lan Jiaojiao looked at him, "If you don’t co ho with , then let’s forget about eting your wife’s sister."
"Are you threatening ?" Qin Yi frowned, "Alright, I’ll accept your threat."
Actually, he was curious if there was any advantage to be gained. If suddenly being invited to the Lan Family, there must be sothing going on.
Qin Yi followed Lan Jiaojiao back to the Lan Family ho, where Uncle Chen was already waiting at the door.
"Old Lan is already waiting in the study."
Lan Jiaojiao asked curiously, "What’s the matter?"
"You’ll find out inside!" Uncle Chen’s gaze was serious.
Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao followed Uncle Chen into the study.
Lan Wangxu was waiting in the study, and upon seeing Qin Yi, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Grandpa, why did you call us back in such a hurry? What’s the matter?" Lan Jiaojiao asked.
Lan Wangxu took out a note, his face heavy, and handed it to Lan Jiaojiao.
There were words on the note, and Lan Jiaojiao read them out, "Midnight twelve o’clock, deliver the Tianyang Needle Technique. Otherwise, it will be the mont of your death!"
"What’s this?" Lan Jiaojiao frowned and asked.
Lan Wangxu said solemnly, "I found it beside my pillow when I woke up from my nap."
Lan Jiaojiao was shocked!
"For soone to approach silently and without being noticed by Old Lan, it shows this person is not simple," Uncle Chen said.
Lan Jiaojiao quickly handed the note to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, take a look, can you make anything of it?"
Qin Yi did not take it and said indifferently, "Are you joking? I’m not a god, how can I make anything of a piece of paper? But, it seems like these words are written in blood."
"That’s right, the words are indeed written in blood. Qin Yi, you have sharp eyes," Lan Wangxu said.
Lan Jiaojiao felt disgusted and quickly threw the note aside.
"Grandpa, could it be a servant who placed it there?" Lan Jiaojiao guessed.
Lan Wangxu shook his head, "Impossible. I can assure you that there was nothing there when I took a nap. A servant couldn’t have approached unnoticed."
"The only possibility is that this person’s cultivation is above mine. Only then could they avoid my perception and easily bypass the people below."
Lan Jiaojiao said, "From what the note says, this person is coming at midnight to take the Tianyang Needle Technique?"
Lan Wangxu nodded slightly.
"Uh... you guys chat, I’ll go ho first!" Qin Yi suddenly said.
The three of them looked at Qin Yi simultaneously, their eyes fixated on him.
"Why are you all looking at like that? I didn’t place the note."
Lan Wangxu said awkwardly, "Young friend Qin Yi, this person’s cultivation is surely above mine. I’m afraid I can’t resist. So, I humbly ask for your assistance. I will be eternally grateful."
"Can’t beat them? That’s easy. Just hand over the Tianyang Needle Technique. If I rember correctly, Lan Tianji wanted to kill you also because of the Tianyang Needle Technique. It seems like it’s not a good thing. Just give it to them."
"This..." Lan Wangxu looked troubled.
"Old Lan, over the years you’ve thoroughly studied the Tianyang Needle Technique. Since that’s the case, just hand it over and make another copy for yourself," Qin Yi said.
Lan Wangxu hesitated for a mont, then said, "The Tianyang Needle Technique must not be handed over."
"Why?"
"To be honest, the Tianyang Needle Technique does not only record the Tianyang Needle art for healing, but it also includes lots of harmful techniques. If it falls into the hands of bad people, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Qin Yi suddenly showed interest, "Let take a look."
"This..." Lan Wangxu looked very troubled.
"Forget it if you don’t want to see. I was just curious about what harmful techniques are recorded, never mind, I’m not keen to look," Qin Yi said indifferently seeing Lan Wangxu’s hesitation.
Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi and suddenly said, "Ten million."
"What do you take for? Am I the kind of person who loves money? I regard money as dirt," Qin Yi lifted his chin.
Lan Jiaojiao gave him a disdainful look; you must misunderstand the phrase "regard money as dirt." She’s never seen anyone more money-loving than Qin Yi.
"It’s not that I won’t save you, it’s just that midnight is really too late. If I go ho late, my wife and sister will worry, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law will scold ," Qin Yi said earnestly.
Lan Wangxu and Uncle Chen both looked dumbfounded, that excuse seems a bit fake, doesn’t it?
Little did they know, Qin Yi was telling the truth.
"Twenty million," Lan Jiaojiao said.
"It’s really not about the money. I’ll teach you a solution, destroy the harmful techniques recorded on the Tianyang Needle Technique, wouldn’t that solve the problem?"
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "Are you trying to get my grandpa killed faster? I guess the other party is after those harmful techniques; if we destroy them, won’t we die even faster?"
"Then there’s nothing I can do," Qin Yi shrugged.
Lan Wangxu sighed, "Young friend Qin Yi, please wait for a mont!"
With that, Lan Wangxu left and soon returned, holding a vermilion box. Inside was a roll of yellowed ancient text.
"Is this the Tianyang Needle Technique?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Lan Wangxu nodded.
Qin Yi picked it up and opened it. It turned out to be made from so animal skin, with the words carved into it, each character clearly visible.
"Wow... Blood Corpse Technique, Gu Cultivation Technique, Poison Baby Skill... Who wrote this? It records the Tianyang Needle Technique and so many evil techniques. There’s both good and evil, interesting," Qin Yi said as he read.
"This is good! It can double the effect with half the effort during cultivation. Miss Lan should cultivate this," Qin Yi suddenly said.
Lan Jiaojiao was curious, "What cultivation technique?"
"Oh no, this is the Yin Yang Balance thod. You, being a woman, should practice the Yang Collection and Yin Supplentation. Unfortunately, this doesn’t have that docunted," Qin Yi said.
Lan Jiaojiao’s face flushed red, glaring at Qin Yi with indignation.
