Meeting Qin Xi's eyes, Ruan Qing'an sighed: "Young Master, when you're poor, you have to do all sorts of work. If I hadn't known that Qin Yue would betray me after using me, I probably would have had no choice but to go along with his plan for that gambling debt."

Qin Xi suddenly said, "That gambling debt doesn't need to be repaid."

“I didn’t inherit any estate, so I don’t have to bear any debts. But the underworld is different. My father is dead, so they will only come after me.”

Ruan Qing'an had barely finished speaking when Qin Xi casually said, "Sister, the debt collectors can't collect any more debts. Although money is just a number to me, I can't give it to scum."

This is what is called—

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised it?

When Ruan Qing'an heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Qin Xi looked like an easy-going and approachable young man, but in reality, he was very ruthless and actually turned the casino upside down.

Qin Xi continued, "I've looked into the Jincheng Casino you mentioned. It's been around for ten years and is located near a slum. They lure people into gambling, then collect their debts. If they can't collect, they send gangsters to collect."

"After all, those who are in debt are penniless, and behind them are their wives and children. The women sell themselves in nightclubs, and the men are involved in organ trafficking. The entire casino is not clean, and there is a lot of dirt to be found."

At this point, Qin Xi chuckled. In truth, even if he hadn't handed it over to Qin Cheng, he really looked down on these small, run-down casinos that were practically shady to the core, with poor backgrounds and cover-ups, only able to bully others in the slums.

However, the ending was still relatively good. Ruan Qing'an was silent for a moment: "This is pretty good. My gambling debts are gone, and this harmful thing is gone too. It's not bad."

Qin Xi paused: "So, you're not in a hurry to scam money anymore."

"No rush, no rush. Your therapist's salary is really high. Why would I make myself unhappy?"

As Ruan Qing'an spoke, she noticed a dangerous glint in Qin Xi's dark, canine eyes, a hint of emerald green. She paused, then—

The slender woman squatted down, trying to slip through Qin Xi's arm, but before Ruan Qing'an could even take a step, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back forcefully.

Ruan Qingan coughed lightly, softening his voice.

"Young master, you know I'm a professional conman, I'm only here for money, why bother settling scores now?"

"I'm not going to settle scores later."

Qin Xi's dog-like eyes curved slightly: "I was just thinking about something. Since the liar sister has nothing to do with doctors, she should still go to the hospital to get her eyes checked if she goes blind."

"Because I like Qin Yue's things?"

"I didn't say that."

Qin Xi didn't admit it, just pretending not to care. Ruan Qing'an secretly rolled her eyes. When Qin Xi wasn't paying attention, she immediately withdrew her hand and quickly took a few steps back.

Ruan Qing'an countered, "What exactly is going on between you and Qin Yue? Do you know that he has always wanted to harm you?"

"Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone."

Qin Xi didn't try to catch her again, but explained, "My father has focused on his career since he was a child and has never cared about his family. Qin Yue has always been taken care of by his mother, and he loves her very much."

“Until I was born, my mother died in childbirth and he blamed me for it. Furthermore, my father took extra care of me because of my abilities and physical condition, so it was only natural that he was dissatisfied with me.”

Although he was talking about his own affairs, Qin Xi had no expression: "I have no interest in taking over the Qin family. As long as they don't cross my bottom line, they can do whatever they want."

Ruan Qing'an chuckled: "Even if I wanted to harm you?"

"...Sister, I won't live past 25, it doesn't matter."

Qin Xi said nonchalantly, getting up to leave. But he paused, turned his head, and his dark dog-like eyes smiled, like a cool breeze under the scorching sun, carrying the aura of a young man.

"I prefer to call you sister rather than sister-in-law."

037: [Is he... flirting with you?]

Ruan Qing'an didn't care; she was willing to take any challenge. She lay on the bed, slowly approaching Qin Xi, leaning forward to hook his chin, and said in a coquettish voice, "I'll say the same thing to you."

"I prefer to swindle sex to swindling money, little brother."

"..."

The only response to Ruan Qing'an was Qin Xi, who left in a nearly disheveled state. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, while the young man outside the door raised his hand to half-cover his eyes and sighed helplessly.

He sighed softly.

"Sister, being too arrogant will lead to trouble."

【Affection Level: 45】

Meanwhile, Qin Yue, who had left Ruan Qing'an's room, was pacing back and forth in his own bedroom.

His face was extremely pale. Just thinking about Qin Xi's words sent chills down Qin Yue's spine, and he felt a chill run down his spine. If what Qin Xi said was true, and all his actions had been exposed, then what was left to scheme for?

The best solution Qin Yue could come up with was to exploit Qin Xi's illness. However, Ruan Qing'an was fiercely protective of her, and Qin Xi, for some unknown reason, also protected Ruan Qing'an. If Ruan Qing'an's status as a fake doctor were exposed, Qin Yue, who introduced her, would also be implicated...

Qin Xi is immobile, but Ruan Qing'an might be.

He lowered his eyes: "In that case, I have no choice but to kick you out, Ruan Qingan. What I need is a psychologist who can be controlled, preferably... someone who can send Qin Xi to a mental hospital."

In his early years, Qin Yue had done his research on Qin Xi's illness. He had heard that a professor named Robert preferred to use drugs and electric shocks as coercive control methods to prevent serious patients from suffering unforeseen circumstances.

That professor, it seems, also has a student?

Some antipsychotic drugs also have significant side effects, and some ingredients, if in excessively high concentrations, can even lead to drug poisoning. This is why Qin Cheng strictly forbids Qin Xi from using medication, fearing it might affect his brain.

Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You think you're so smart? Well, I'll cripple you then!"

...

One week later.

The doorbell of the Qin family villa rang.

When the maid opened the door and the butler went to greet her, he discovered that the woman standing at the door was pulling a suitcase, wearing glasses, and had a rather academic air about her. She looked very refined.

The butler was slightly taken aback: "And you are?"

"Hello, I am the psychologist that Qin Yue invited. He said he would wait for me here today to see the patient."

Isn't there a psychologist here?

The butler was stunned for a moment, but the woman in front of him continued, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Ling'er. I am a student of Professor Robert, a renowned scholar in the field of psychology."

The original female protagonist has finally come knocking on my door...
