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

"So it really was you..."

"I want to know why you helped me like this, and how you did it. What exactly is that energy flow in my body that's similar to but different from true qi?"

Despite having suspected it beforehand, Jiang Chaoning was still deeply shocked to hear Qin Ge admit it himself.

"I can tell you, and I can even lead you down a path completely different from martial arts, but I have conditions!"

"I want you to be mine, to take charge of the Jiang family, and to serve me!"

Qin Ge got straight to the point, having stayed up all night with Jiang Chaoning, and didn't bother with any preamble.

Jiang Chaoning remained silent, staring intently at Qin Ge, her heart churning with turmoil.

It turns out that he, like the Zheng family, the Zhao family, and others, deliberately approached Jiang because he coveted the Jiang family's intelligence resources!

He's already so amazing, why would he want these things?

"Speak up!"

"If you nod, you can stay and we can talk in detail. If you shake your head, you can leave."

Qin Ge acted like a superior person, making him pretend to understand.

Jiang Chaoning sorted out his thoughts, "As long as you don't use the Jiang family to do anything immoral or immoral, or recklessly amass wealth, I can consider agreeing to your request."

"But it's no use me agreeing to this. My grandfather is in charge of the Jiang family now, and he won't agree to let me take over the Jiang family."

"Furthermore, I'd like to know what you need the Jiang family to do for you. You're already so capable, is the Jiang family really of any use to you?"

She originally intended to take over the Jiang family and let the entire Jiang family develop according to her own ideas.

The Jiang family has always been doing things for others, so having one more Qin Ge won't make a difference, as long as the terms are agreed upon.

Making the Jiang family obey others might seem like an outrageous and disadvantageous act at first glance, but from another perspective, Qin Ge is powerful enough to essentially provide the Jiang family with a powerful backer.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to say. It all depends on whether Qin Ge is like those people from the Zhao family, only wanting to use the Jiang family as a tool!

Qin Ge said, "I'll handle Jiang Xianjue's side. You just need to tell me whether you agree or not."

"There's something you might have misunderstood, and I need to make it clear to you: I'm making you one of my people, not one of my subordinates."

"I want you to be my woman!"

"What did you say?!" Jiang Chaoning was stunned, her eyes wide with shock.

Her hands were trembling as she struggled to suppress the urge to slap him.

Before this, she thought she had some understanding of Qin Ge and had initially formed a picture of him in her mind, but now that picture had collapsed.

It wasn't what she thought at all!

"I thought you were some kind of master, but you're just a scoundrel, a scoundrel with no scruples and no moral compass at all!"

"Your demand to have the Jiang family work for you is already excessive. I foolishly thought you were some kind of expert, believing there was room for negotiation!"

"Who knew you could be so shameless? I was blind and foolish. Sorry to bother you!"

Just as Jiang Chaoning got up to leave, Le Fei arrived.

She saw Jiang Chaoning blush and stare blankly for a while. Had she been teased?

Le Fei had no time to think further and walked straight towards Qin Ge. "A man named Hou Qin has come outside. He says he's representing the Zhao family and wants to see Doctor Sun to ask him to save someone. Should we let him in?"

"The Zhao family?" Qin Ge mused. "Not many people know that Old Master Sun is here. Let's invite him in for a chat and see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"

Upon hearing that he was from the Zhao family, Jiang Chaoning temporarily abandoned her plan to leave. She wanted to see how many secrets Qin Ge was hiding.

After she defeated Misako, she only felt that Qin Ge was incredibly mysterious. But after Qin Ge made those demands, the mystery disappeared, and disgust took over.

But Le Fei's appearance made her reconsider. She knew Le Fei and Cai Qingyi to some extent. If Qin Ge could make them willingly leave the Jiang family and follow him, they couldn't be that bad, right?

Ten minutes later, Hou Qin met with Sun Shizheng and explained his purpose, occasionally stealing a glance at Qin Ge as they spoke.

"Who did you just say?"

"Misako?"

Before Sun Shizheng could respond to whether he was willing to help, Qin Ge spoke first, then cast an inquiring glance at Jiang Chaoning.

"I didn't poison him!" Jiang Chaoning's mind was still buzzing. "I admit that I was aware of my own condition at the time, but I didn't know how to control myself properly."

"But I really only knocked her off the ring, I didn't poison her!"

"Besides, there were so many people there, how could I possibly have had the chance to poison her? And I was able to beat her, so why would I need to do something so unnecessary?"

Hou Qin said, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to blame yourself too much. We know about your fight with Misako and we all believe that you didn't poison her."

"This is not the time to talk about these things. Misako is in critical condition and could die at any moment."

"A doctor's heart is benevolent; please, Dr. Sun, grant us your treatment!"

When Zhao Yu learned about Misako's situation, he was furious. He kicked every pet dog that passed by him, and Hou Qin was slapped before he set off for Yunxi Residence.

Zhao Yu no longer cared about others knowing that the Zhao family had connections with the people of Dongyang, nor did he care if Qin Ge knew that he knew Sun Shi was at Yunqi Residence. All he wanted to do was save Misako's life!

The hospital has already announced that Misako is beyond saving, and the various experts invited by the Zhao family have reached the same conclusion after examining her.

After much deliberation, Zhao Yu felt that his only hope now lay with Sun Shizheng.

Jiang Chaoning also respectfully said to Sun Shizheng, "Dr. Sun, if you can save him, please do so. Please don't hesitate to ask for anything you need, and I will do my best to fulfill your request!"

Sun Shizheng glanced at Qin Ge and said leisurely, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but based on the situation you described, I'm powerless to do anything about it."

"But don't worry, just because I can't save you doesn't mean no one can."

Spending a lot of time with Qin Ge makes him more worldly and shrewd.

He knew very well that Qin Ge could cure anything he could cure, and perhaps Qin Ge could cure anything he couldn't cure!

Since that's the case, with Qin Ge around, why is he still meddling?

"Who is Dr. Sun talking about?" Hou Qin's hope, which had just been extinguished, rekindled. "I wonder where he is now; I'm afraid that distant water can't quench a nearby fire..."

Seeing that Qin Ge remained silent, Sun Shizheng pointed at him and said, "Far away, yet right before your eyes!"

he?!

Hou Qin and Jiang Chaoning both looked at Qin Ge.

"I never said I could definitely save him!" Qin Ge cursed Sun Shizheng, the old fox, inwardly.

However, he was quite curious about how Misako was poisoned, and he believed that Jiang Chaoning had not poisoned her.

So this was all a show directed and acted by the Zhao family themselves?

Yunxi Residence is currently being secretly monitored by people from the Xuan'an Bureau, and Qiu Ang from the Shadow Martial Hall also frequently comes and goes. Anyone with a keen eye couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

If the Zhao family orchestrated this whole thing, they are likely targeting Sun Shizheng or trying to find a breakthrough through him. So what is their ultimate goal?
