Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class

Chapter 53: Danger Approaching

“Zhongyang, you’ve disappointed me.”

In the study room, the old man was livid. Li Zhongyang knelt in front of him. The handprint on his face was fresh.

“Father, give me another chance.

“I promise that I’ll bring those two brats back. If I can’t get them, I will give up all my duties in the family.”

Li Zhongyang grabbed the old man’s trouser legs. His eyes were firm, and his desire to live was unusually strong.

The old man closed his eyes and said slowly, “Zhongyang, I’ve already given you a chance.”

“No…” Li Zhongyang cried out.” Father, I… I will definitely do better. I wont disappoint you.”

The old man remained unmoved. “I’m tired. You may leave!”

“Father, I—”

“Scram—I don’t want to repeat myself.”

…

Beichuan City.

“Brother, is it really okay if I don’t go to the company?” Zhao Xuanxuan thought that it was strange. She didn’t understand why Qin Chuan didn’t want her to go to the company.

Qin Chuan had obtained some information from those burly men. He knew that the call Zhao Xuanxuan received earlier was not from her company.

But he did not want to explain further. He didn’t want her to worry about unnecessary things.

“Why wouldn’t it be okay? It’s not like you have to work,” Qin Chuan said indifferently.

Zhao Xuanxuan replied, “Brother, I know you won the lottery and have become rich.

“But I still feel more accomplished earning money with my own two hands.

“Besides, being rich can make a person turn evil…”

“I’ll pay you. You’ll be my assistant. 300 yuan per day, paid everyday,” Qin Chuan said.

“Okay!” Zhao Xuanxuan agreed without hesitation.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes. “Didn’t you just seriously say that being rich can make you evil?

“You just shot yourself in the foot.”

Zhao Xuanxuan giggled. “Do I look like a fool who would refuse money?”

“Are you still going to this company?”

“No.”

After speaking, Qin Chuan and the girls headed to the bar to pick up the car.

…

Noon.

After more than an hour of hard work, Qin Chuan finally finished cooking.

Apart from the seafood, the other dishes looked unique and one of a kind.

The small dining table could not hold all the dishes, so they added an extra desk.

Qin Chuan took off his apron and sat down beside Ma Qingxue. He smiled, “Have a taste. I don’t know if it’s to your liking.”

Ma Qingxue picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of meat.

This shredded meat was made of beef.

The dish was stir-fried shredded meat with green pepper.

It was a common dish for many households. As a result, Qin Chuan was naturally very experienced in making it.

Although the green pepper turned out black, it didn’t affect the taste at all.

This was Zhao Xuanxuan’s favorite dish.

After Ma Qingxue tasted it, her expression was unreadable. She had never tasted such a flavor before. It was unique and seemed a little astringent.

“How is it?” Qin Chuan’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Ma Qingxue nodded. “Not too bad!”

The meaning behind the word ‘too’ was profound.

Zhao Xuanxuan, who was sitting across from her, was surprised to hear this.

She was very familiar with this dish. Qin Chuan had cooked it many times before.

She took a bite too. But, it still tasted the same.

But it wasn’t “not too bad.”

To be more precise, it should be “not bad enough to die from.”

For a moment, she wondered if there was something wrong with Ma Qingxue’s taste buds.

On the other hand, Qin Chuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Ma Qingxue’s evaluation.

“Do you have alcohol?” Ma Qingxue asked.

“Yes, but only beer.” Qin Chuan immediately replied.

“Beer is fine.” Ma Qingxue had no objections.

“Brother, grab a few bottles, I want some too.” Zhao Xuanxuan tapped on the edge of her bowl with her chopsticks.

Qin Chuan said with disdain, “Forget it. You didn’t even drink half a bottle yesterday and you passed out. You should have fruit juice instead! ”

Zhao Xuanxuan tried to defend herself, “I was too tired yesterday.”

Qin Chuan continued, “Drinking alcohol is harmful to the body.”

Zhao Xuanxuan pouted, “Then don’t let sister-in-law have it too!”

“I… you…” Unfortunately, Qin Chuan couldn’t outspeak Zhao Xuanxuan, so he could only get her a beer.

Ma Qingxue found the siblings’ bickering very interesting. Even she, who rarely smiled, couldn’t help but laugh at this moment.

At the same time.

Opposite the apartment building that Qin Chuan was in, a man with brown hair pulled a large suitcase up the stairs.

The man entered the room, locked the door behind him, and then opened the suitcase.

There were sniper rifle parts in the suitcase.

The brown-haired man slowly assembled the sniper rifle. His movements were very practiced.

He was done in no time.

Then, he went to the window and opened a gap in the curtains.

He was facing Qin Chuan’s apartment. However, he could only see the balcony and couldn’t see what was inside.

The man took a pair of binoculars from his bag.

These binoculars were not ordinary. They were equipped with thermal imaging technology.

The brown-haired man took a look. He grinned slyly.

In the apartment, Qin Chuan and company had no idea that danger was approaching.

To prove her tolerance, Zhao Xuanxuan had downed a bottle of beer.

However, just as she was about to open the next bottle, she suddenly laid on the table.

Qin Chuan shook his head and put on a resigned smile.

“You can’t even handle half a bottle, yet you still insist on drinking. You really overestimate yourself.”

After scolding her, Qin Chuan carried her onto the bed.

Returning to Ma Qingxue’s side, Qin Chuan laughed, “My younger sister is a stubborn person.”

Ma Qingxue raised her beer and said coolly, “Cheers!”

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment before opening his beer and clinking bottles with her.

Within minutes, the floor was littered with empty bottles.

Ma Qingxue was flushed and bleary-eyed. She held her chin with one hand and raised the bottle with the other. She shouted, “Come on. Cheers!”

Qin Chuan looked the same. He saw that Ma Qingxue was already drunk, so he stood up and walked behind her, taking the beer bottle from her hands.

“Qingxue, you’ve had enough. Let’s rest!” Qin Chuan said gently.

Ma Qingxue closed her eyes and shook her head. Then, she mumbled, “No… I… I can still drink.”

Qin Chuan let out a helpless laugh. He gently placed his hand on the back of her neck, gathering a small amount of Qi in his palm.

The True Qi entered Ma Qingxue’s body easily, turned into a needle, and pierced an acupuncture point.

Ma Qingxue instantly quietened down and fell onto Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan placed Ma Qingxue on the bed beside Zhao Xuanxuan.

After settling them down, Qin Chuan returned to the dining table. He grimaced at the beer bottles and leftovers on the table, so he immediately called Huang Huang over.

Huang Huang was waiting for this moment.

It hopped onto the dining table, wagging its tail and drooling.

Qin Chuan said, “You know what you should eat and what you shouldn’t eat, yes?”

Huang Huang barked and nodded.

“Alright, go!”

Just as he said that, in the apartment building opposite, the brown-haired man pulled the trigger.

The sniper rifle had a silencer, so the sound produced was very soft.

At this moment, the bullet pierced through the wall. Like a hot knife through butter, it shot towards Qin Chuan’s head at high speed.

In a flash, Huang Huang suddenly leaped up to intercept it before quickly landing back on the table.

It was so fast that it was blurry to the naked eye. It was as if it had never moved.
