In Qin Yue's bedroom.

Qin Yue, who had been extremely arrogant before, was now lying in bed, looking somewhat dejected. His hand was bandaged and would probably take a long time to heal.

Qin Yue's eyes were filled with intense hatred. With Qin Xi's illness, he was bound to get into trouble sooner or later, and should be sent to a mental hospital!

But what about Nguyen Thanh An?

This bitch not only refused to submit, but she even dared to hit him?!

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the next moment Xu Ling'er appeared at the door. Qin Yue immediately composed himself, his fierce and ruthless expression softening considerably.

After Xu Ling'er came in, she sat down on the chair by the bed and asked, "Qin Yue, how are you feeling?"

"Oh dear, this is not good."

Qin Yue sighed, looking somewhat helpless, and said, looking at his hands, "Dr. Xu, when Qin Xi had the accident, I thought I would go and inform Dr. Ruan, but I didn't expect to be hit by her."

"That woman is absolutely despicable!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling'er's expression changed. In her opinion, Ruan Qing'an was becoming more and more annoying. Qin Yue was the person in the entire Qin family who supported her the most. Xu Ling'er had never been supported before, so she always remembered Qin Yue's good qualities.

But now, even someone as kind as Qin Yue is being bullied!

As for how Ruan Qing'an, a woman, could hit Qin Yue, Xu Ling'er naturally thought it was because Qin Yue was kind and gentle and wouldn't fight with women.

Seeing Xu Ling'er's even angrier expression than his own, Qin Yue's mind raced and he immediately understood. It was probably because Ruan Qing'an had taken away his patient, Qin Xi.

From this perspective, it would be better to let Xu Ling'er deal with Ruan Qing'an, diverting Qin Xi's attention and making it easier for me to take action...

As soon as the thought crossed Qin Yue's mind, he immediately said, "Actually, my relationship with Dr. Ruan shouldn't be like this. I was the one who brought her to the Qin family back then."

"What?"

Xu Ling'er was taken aback; she really didn't know.

Qin Yue continued to explain: "Back then, Dr. Ruan wasn't as glamorous as she is now. She was just working in a nightclub. We had a pretty good relationship. I just wanted to invite her to the Qin family home, but she suddenly changed her mind and became a psychologist."

"Sigh, now thanks to Qin Xi, they're making a fortune."

Qin Yue sighed deeply again as he spoke, his voice filled with emotion.

After Qin Yue finished speaking, Xu Ling'er was stunned. How could there be such a thing? But suddenly she felt something was wrong and asked, "Wait, Dr. Ruan works in a nightclub?"

"Yeah, it's probably some kind of part-time job."

Qin Yue casually replied, "After all, although she is a psychologist, she is obviously no match for you, Dr. Xu."

As he spoke, a cryptic light flickered in Qin Yue's eyes.

He knew very well what kind of person Ruan Qing'an was. If Ruan Qing'an's identity was revealed, Qin Cheng would definitely be unhappy, and Qin Xi would definitely make a scene. This diverted attention.

Qin Yue wasn't stupid; he didn't want to clash with Qin Xi right now.

Qin Xi's illness was the best place for him to strike.

Sure enough, Xu Ling'er said seriously, "It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this for Ruan Qing'an's age. Even if she's doing part-time work, she could be a psychological counselor or a school counselor. Why would she work at a nightclub?"

"Wait, have you checked Ruan Qingan's background?"

To be honest, there really wasn't any, but how could Qin Cheng have imagined that someone would use such a thing to lie? It was very easy to expose, and besides, Ruan Qing'an was the only psychologist that Qin Xi recognized, so Qin Cheng didn't need to go through all that trouble.

Unlike Qin Yue, Qin Cheng is very busy.

Without hearing Qin Yue's explanation, Xu Ling'er immediately understood. She stood up abruptly, her eyes flickering: "Ruan Qing'an didn't even know what lithium carbonate was before, she..."

"No, I, Xu Ling'er, cannot be outdone by a liar!"

After Xu Ling'er finished speaking, she nodded slightly to Qin Yue, then quickly turned and left, leaving Qin Yue watching her retreating figure with a cold smile.

This woman is no match for a con artist; it's a joke.

However, Qin Yue thought again that Xu Ling'er was a fool and would definitely not get away with it, so he might as well add fuel to the fire for her so that Qin Xi wouldn't be able to resolve the matter so easily.

The next morning.

Qin Yue, with his battered, broken hand, walked down the streets of the slums, his brow furrowed in disgust.

Although he was injured, his leg wasn't broken, so he simply came out on his own. But now Qin Yue was starting to regret it; this wretched place was disgusting to even think about.

But in the end, it's just an old alley.

Qin Yue walked a short distance into the alley and saw several smelly garbage cans, as well as a disheveled beggar in tattered clothes rummaging through the trash cans.

Qin Yue was even more disgusted: "Ruan Dazhuang?"

"ah?!"

The beggar was shocked and collapsed to the ground, staggering backward: "I...I really have no money left, please, please, I really don't have a single penny left."

"You are Ruan Qingan's father, right?"

Qin Yue frowned slightly: "You owed money to Jincheng Casino, and then you were chased by creditors. After drinking, you accidentally fell into the water, but you didn't drown. In the end, you were afraid that your arms and legs would be broken, so you went into hiding?"

Fortunately, hNw Company has a huge database, and Qin Yue is the chief information officer. With Qin Xi in charge, hNw's database makes it quite easy to find people.

Qin Xi can check anywhere the internet can reach—it's just that there are some people he doesn't need to check, and some public security organs' firewalls he doesn't dare to break through, but Ruan Dazhuang doesn't care.

Upon hearing Qin Yue reveal all his secrets, Ruan Dazhuang was stunned and burst into tears, pleading, "Please, let me go."

"Here's the money, take it."

Qin Yue threw the cash on the ground and said, "I'll give you a contact number. You'll have to do me a favor. Anyway, you don't have any fatherly affection for your daughter. If you handle Ruan Qing'an, I'll give you the money so you can start over."

"This, this..."

Ruan Dazhuang's expression kept changing.

Even if he starts over, the casino people will still come after him for money, and Ruan Dazhuang doesn't have the ability to change his identity.

Seeing that Ruan Dazhuang remained silent, Qin Yue didn't say anything more and turned to leave. He had no interest in continuing the conversation. Whether the old man listened or not was up to him; if he didn't listen, he could find another way.

As Qin Yue arrived at the alley entrance, the surveillance camera at the nearby intersection slowly turned to face the camera, flashing a red dot indicating it was in operation.

...

Meanwhile, although Qin Yue left, he left his money behind, along with a note with his contact information.

Ruan Dazhuang looked left and right, but finally picked it up and ran away. He didn't care what happened to his daughter. Even when Ruan Dazhuang was around, he would beat and scold the original owner of the body anyway.

His only fear was that the Jincheng Casino would come knocking on his door.

Just as he grabbed the money and ran away, he bumped into a fat man and fell to the ground, scattering cash everywhere. Ruan Dazhuang didn't even have time to react.

The fat man had a grim expression, and behind him were several thugs, who were none other than the same group that had previously come to collect debts from Ruan Qing'an.

To be precise, they also went to collect a debt from Ruan Dazhuang.

Ruan Dazhuang recognized him immediately. Memories of being beaten in the past flooded his mind, and he wanted to run away!

But just then—"Ruan Dazhuang?"
