I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

What nonsense is he spouting?!

Zheng Qiuyi seemed to hear the crackling sound of electricity in her brain.

"It's settled then. We'll discuss when the money arrives in full and when the medicine will be provided!"

"Mr. Liang, you'd better hurry, otherwise we'll be in a lot of trouble when Mr. Zhao comes again."

Qin Ge warmly escorted Liang Shaohui to the door.

The moment the car door closed, Liang Shaohui's smile vanished, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

Zhang Xu asked cautiously, "Sir, do we really have to pay that much money?"

"That's 800 million! Isn't that a bit outrageous?"

Liang Shaohui retorted angrily, "If you don't give it to me, do you expect me to die?"

"If you guys hadn't been so useless and failed to replicate it, how could I be being manipulated like this today?"

"Don't even mention 800 million; if we had no other choice, we'd sell everything we own to buy it!"

"Further words are useless. Let's gather the funds as quickly as possible and get the medicine first!"

"Find out the Zhao family and see if what Qin Ge said is true. Zhao Yu, I'll remember this!"

"In addition, we need to investigate Qin Ge's background, and also find out about the Zheng family's situation, to see if Zheng Qiuyi and Qin Ge really have that kind of relationship, and whether today's events were orchestrated by the Zheng family."

"Research into replicating the effective drug cannot stop. If it doesn't work in the North, then go to the East China Sea, go to Jiangcheng!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "What I give away, I'll get back with interest sooner or later!"

......

"Little Qin, aren't we going a bit too far by doing this?"

Sun Shizheng was somewhat uneasy. He had been practicing medicine for most of his life and had never received so much money at once!

Qin Ge said calmly, "It's alright. We're not stealing or robbing. If they're willing to give it to us, we'll just accept it without worry."

"Mr. Sun, do you really believe that Liang Shaohui accidentally lost a single dose of the special medicine?"

He chuckled sarcastically, "I'm afraid he got greedy after learning about the drug's effects, took one for analysis, and tried to replicate it. Unfortunately for him, he failed!"

"What's 800 million? He should be grateful he survived."

Sun Shizheng's lips twitched. "This guy is really something. He's so rich, yet he still gambles with his life. I don't know what he's thinking!"

"Do you think he'll take another dose of this miracle drug for research if he gets it now?"

"If he could actually replicate it, the wealth this drug could create would be immeasurable, no wonder he couldn't resist the temptation."

"Xiao Qin, haven't you ever thought about making money from this drug?"

Qin Ge laughed and retorted, "Didn't I just earn 800 million?"

"Mr. Sun, I know what you mean, but making money that way is too troublesome and pointless."

"Besides, enough money is enough for me. Even if I earn more, I can still eat three meals a day. I don't want to waste time accumulating numbers that have lost their meaning."

"That's true." Sun Shizheng nodded. "You are a very capable person, your vision shouldn't be so narrow."

"If you had been so determined, you could have made a fortune using the formula for treating ALS back then. Why wait until today?"

The two chatted for a while. Just as Sun Shizheng left, Qin Ge saw Zheng Qiuyi tiptoeing towards the door, like a thief.

"Miss Zheng!" Qin Ge called out to Zheng Qiuyi, "You're acting suspiciously, where are you going?"

Zheng Qiuyi smiled guiltily, "What did I do suspiciously?"

"You've been eavesdropping for so long, and now you want to slip away? Did you think I didn't know?" Qin Ge beckoned. "Come on, I've taken care of things for you. Shouldn't we settle the bill?"

"What bill?" Zheng Qiuyi's tone was tinged with anger. "I didn't promise you anything, don't get your hopes up!"

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense with Liang Shaohui? When did I become your...your...your...my thing?"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later; you can't shirk this responsibility!" Qin Ge looked at Zheng Qiuyi like she was prey. "I suffered such a huge loss; don't you owe me some compensation?"

"Pah!" Zheng Qiuyi flashed the whites of her eyes. "What did you lose?"

"With just a few words, you tricked Liang Shaohui into handing over 800 million; you can't even make money as fast as printing money!"

"What a money-grubber! You have so much time to fuss over these things, why don't you worry more about Xiao Luo's affairs!"

Qin Ge teased, "I could have sold it for a billion, but I only sold it for eight hundred million. Isn't the two hundred million short because I was helping you?"

"Since you're unwilling to honor the agreement, shouldn't you be the one to compensate for the losses?"

He held out his hand. "Give it to me, one billion!"

Zheng Qiuyi was puzzled and indignant. "Why is it ten billion?"

"I didn't promise you anything, so what agreement did you make? Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"

"Then I'll have to have a serious talk with you." Qin Ge took a sip of tea to replenish his saliva. "You were the one urging me to take better care of Xiao Luo, weren't you?"

"You can't just talk the talk; you need to show some results and take action, right?"

"Is it free to resolve Xiao Luo's issue?"

"Who will provide the manpower and resources to send someone to Mexico City to investigate?"

"The Qingyin platform is pushing the story so hard to spread; doesn't that cost money?"

"If I don't earn money, how will I do all this? Do you think I can do it all with just my words?"

"I finally managed to secure a sponsorship of 1 billion from Liang Shaohui, and because of you, I spent 200 million of it, and then you still have to mock me. Don't you have any conscience?"

"You're so good-looking and have such a sweet voice, why don't you pay for it?"

"Just take out eight hundred million, and consider the other two hundred million as dog food. I will inform Liang Shaohui to prepare so that his son can marry you as soon as possible."

"This..." Zheng Qiuyi subconsciously wanted to refute, but then felt that what Qin Ge said seemed to make a lot of sense!

Reason and emotion are fighting; my brain is about to short-circuit.

After a period of internal struggle, she grinned and said sweetly, "Brother Qin, don't be so formal!"

"I didn't think things through just now. You're so handsome and have such a nice voice, you won't hold it against me, right?"

"You know I don't have much money right now. Even if I sold the company, I wouldn't be able to raise a hundred million. You'll have to take good care of Xiao Luo's situation."

"Look, you're quite busy too, with so many things to worry about and still having to think about making money. Liang Shaohui is also quite busy; there's no need to bother him with things that have already been agreed upon!"

Qin Ge glanced at her, "Now you know how to call me brother?"

"I have no intention of being brothers with you!"

He tapped on the table. "Pour the tea!"

"Disobedient?"

"Then let's go to our room, wash up, and get ready to check out!"

Zheng Qiuyi's mouth moved, and it was unclear what she was cursing, but she still obediently poured the tea.

Qin Ge was quite satisfied and stretched her shoulders. "Why do my shoulders always feel a little sore?"

"Don't go too far!"

"Is that too much? Let's settle the bill then!"

"..."
