Amazing! The mighty dragon is out of prison!!

Qin Mo had heard of the Ke family before, but he never expected to meet them here, and by a twist of fate, he even saved the Ke family's child.

In response to Ke Qirui's question, Qin Mo readily replied, "You could say that. I run a small clinic in Xihai."

Ke Qirui had no doubt whatsoever: "So, Mr. Qin is traveling in Nanzhao?"

"Not really, I'm just here to take care of some business and do some sightseeing."

Sensing that there was more to his words, Qin Mo decided not to leave and instead called the manager to renew the reservation for the private room.

It's already past 10 p.m., and there aren't many customers.

Given the incident, it was natural to close early, and the private rooms were all empty.

Qin Mo had helped the restaurant before, and the manager not only immediately agreed, but also had a sumptuous late-night snack prepared as a token of gratitude.

After entering the private room, Ke Qirui first glanced at Ning Qingqian and the others, then looked at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo understood and smiled frankly: "They are all my friends, not outsiders."

Seeing this, Ke Qirui didn't say much, but smiled and agreed before getting to the point.

"To be honest, my elderly relative has also recently fallen ill. We've been to hospitals all over Nanzhao and consulted countless doctors, but nothing has helped."

"Everyone says it's because the old man is getting old, his kidneys are failing, and his lifespan is coming to an end..."

Hearing the sentimental tone in his voice, Qin Mo understood immediately: "Mr. Ke, you feel that you don't want to give up hope before the old man closes his eyes?"

"That's right." Ke Qirui smiled and sighed, "I was raised by my grandfather, and seeing him lying in a hospital bed now really makes me feel bad."

"However, I don't really have much say in my family. I have uncles, elder brothers, and elder sisters above me, and as the youngest, I'm powerless to help even if I want to."

"I just witnessed Mr. Qin's miraculous healing skills. If it's convenient for you, could you please come with me to see my grandfather?"

"Don't worry, it's just a check-up. Even if it can't cure you, it won't be a wasted trip!"

Qin Mo glanced at Ke Qirui.

The way he's talking now doesn't seem like he's acting; his concern for his grandfather seems genuine.

When you feel sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow.

He was originally thinking about the best way to contact the Nanzhao Martial Alliance, but unexpectedly, he found a way.

It's not that he can't just charge in like he said before, but Qin Mo wants to save his energy so as not to cause serious injury.

He didn't refuse at the time, and made an appointment with Ke Qirui for 10 a.m. the next day. He told Ke Qirui the location of his hotel, and Ke Qirui would send someone to pick him up.

The two chatted about various things for an hour before Qin Mo and his group returned to the hotel.

As soon as she entered, Ning Qingqian couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going tomorrow?"

"What else could we do? We already agreed, didn't we?"

Sensing the underlying meaning in her words, Qin Mo pressed further, "What's wrong? You feel something's amiss?"

"It's not entirely inappropriate..." she pondered. "I don't know much about Ke Qirui, but I have heard of the Ke family."

"The Ke family started out as bandits, but later during the war, they raised a force and made contributions in the war of resistance, which is how they transformed from bandits into a regular army."

"However, the old master of the Ke family was brave and resourceful. He knew at that time that he could not continue his old business. He immediately disbanded his team and started a business based on his past achievements and the favorable winds."

That's how the Ke family came to be what it is today.

"However... the Ke family is in a mess. I've heard that the Tianji Tower has secretly investigated the Ke family several times, but without any results."

"The reason is... we suspect that someone in the Ke family is colluding with people from the Jade Kingdom to do some shady business in the Nanzhao underground market."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo's eyes sharpened.

Jade Kingdom sells more than just jade.

The Nanzhao Kingdom bordered the Jade Kingdom, and every year, both the government and the army of Nanzhao sacrificed many lives for those so-called illicit businesses.

As a prominent family in Nanzhao, the Ke family also has close ties with the Nanzhao Martial Alliance. If they were to collude with the Jade Kingdom, Nanzhao would truly be in chaos.

Huo Shaochong also chimed in, speaking up at the opportune moment: "Although I don't like those spies from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I also know they don't investigate for no reason. The fact that they've started investigating means they must know something."

"As far as I know, this rumor started circulating in recent years after the old man of the Ke family fell ill."

The Ke family started as bandits, and all members of the Ke family learned martial arts.

That old man Ke, in his youth, also followed Old Master Ke in conquering the country, and his martial arts level was extraordinary.

They were even comparable to some of the martial arts families of Nanzhao.

However, he collapsed at a business event two years ago and never woke up again.

It was from that time that chaos began to ensue within the Ke family, with rumors circulating that they were colluding with the Emerald Kingdom.

Qin Mo's face was ashen, but upon hearing the information provided by the two, a faint killing intent flickered in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then I'll definitely go and see for myself."

"According to what you said, someone within the Ke family colluded with the Jade Kingdom, but this happened after Old Master Ke fell ill. This shows that Old Master Ke not only disagreed with such actions, but was also able to keep them in check."

"If we can cure Old Ke, at least it will make those who colluded with him restrain themselves a bit."

But Ning Qingqian frowned: "Have you ever thought that if you interfere, even if you cure Old Master Ke, the people behind you will still hold a grudge against you?"

"This is Nanzhao, which is too close to the Jade Kingdom, and it's a melting pot of all sorts of people."

"Many members of jade-producing families are lurking here, and the black market is even more unpredictable."

"I'm just afraid..."

Qin Mo glanced at her and smiled: "Afraid I'll get into trouble?"

Seeing how relaxed he was, Ning Qingqian tried to persuade him, "I'm really not joking with you. I know you're capable. But ask Huo Shaochong, even his father wouldn't dare say he could completely wipe out the Nanzhao forces."

"I think we should tone it down a bit and think of another way to deal with the Nanzhao Martial Alliance and the Fengyu Alliance."

Qin Mo knew that she meant well, but was also worried.

After all, even ordinary people have heard about how deep the underworld of Nanzhao is.

Here, no one can guarantee that they will be absolutely safe once they get involved.

Qin Mo was all alone, and no matter how powerful he was, he was no match for those people.

The enemy is in the shadows, while he is in the light.

Qin Mo smiled calmly at this: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just going to take a look; whether I can cure it is another matter."

"Furthermore, if the Ke family really is colluding with the Jade Kingdom to engage in illicit business..."

The more Qin Mo spoke, the colder his expression became: "Especially when it involves business like drugs, I can't just sit idly by."

"If they come looking for me, I have a good place to send them..."
