Chapter 75 The Breakthrough Lies in Qi Minghao
"Keep your voice down, I still have something to ask!"
Gu Yanchen knew that Ran Qingxuan might want to ask about his third brother, so he took him aside with a sullen face.
Seeing that Ma Kui still had that idiotic look on his face, Ran Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.
"Doesn't Qi Guang love Qi Minghe the most? Then why did he kill him?"
Ma Kui's eyes were dull and his hands were unconsciously grabbing forward.
"Qi Minghao, Qi Guang wants to pave the way for Qi Minghao to become the next head of the Qi family..."
Every word that Ma Kui said was like a knife cutting through his chest. Qi Minghe refused to believe that his third uncle, who had always loved him, would hurt him for the position of family head.
Ran Qingxuan was afraid that the effect of the medicine would wear off over time, so he took the opportunity to ask about his third brother again.
"Do you remember the coffin from three years ago?"
“Remember…remember.”
"Why do those people want the person in the coffin?"
There was a hint of resistance and pain on Ma Kui's face. Ran Qingxuan understood that this was a sign that he didn't know something but wanted to say something.
In order to prevent Ma Kui from waking up, Ran Qingxuan immediately changed the question in a hurry.
"How many times have you seen those Blue Feather people?"
"twice..."
"Is there...anything?" Ran Qingxuan's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Gu Yanchen in disbelief.
She never thought that just asking a question casually for the sake of transition would lead to an unexpected answer.
While Ma Kui was still not fully awake, Ran Qingxuan continued, "What did the black-robed man do the two times he appeared?"
"Looking for Qi Guang."
"What do you want to see Qi Guang for?"
"I...don't know." Ma Kui looked painful, and his pupils began to slowly focus as he blinked his eyelids. Ran Qingxuan grasped a clue and asked quickly.
"Qi Guang is the head of a certain family for his son. Is the man in black robe involved?"
"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Kui woke up completely after being completely free from the effects of the drug.
He first looked around in confusion, then after realizing where he was, he immediately opened his mouth to call his companions.
Ran Qingxuan was prepared and took out the anesthetic he had prepared in advance and gave him an injection.
After Gu Yanchen learned that the Qi family was related to the Blue Feather people who took his third brother away, he stood there feeling confused but unable to do anything.
Ma Kui still remembered what he had said. Seeing that Gu Yanchen was serious and a little anxious, he kept adding fuel to the fire with a grim smile on his face.
"It seems that this person is not important to you, otherwise why would it take you three years to find him? Hahahaha, you deserve it, really..."
"Shut up!" Seeing that Gu Yanchen was in a bad mood, Ran Qingxuan raised his knee and kicked Ma Kui hard in the abdomen.
Magui arched his back in pain, and the dagger in his shoulder went deeper as he moved.
Ran Qingxuan had a cold face. He picked up the scabbard that fell at his feet and smashed it into his mouth until Ma Kui spat out a mouthful of broken teeth.
"Answer me whatever I ask you, or I'll cut off your hand and roast it in front of you and feed it to you!"
There was a moment of silence in the air. Qi Minghe was frightened by Ran Qingxuan's fierce aura and dared not say a word. Gu Yanchen felt sorry for Ran Qingxuan for doing so for him.
The lower half of Ma Kui's face was abnormally swollen from being beaten. He looked at Ran Qingxuan as if he was looking at a devil. He knew that Ran Qingxuan would not just say that, she would really do it.
Seeing that the shock had taken effect, Ran Qingxuan immediately asked: "Why did the Lanyu people come to Qi Guang?"
Ma Kui's eyes were full of fear, and he opened his bloody mouth and spoke incoherently.
"I don't know much, I just know that Qi Guang goes to Hexianglou to meet Lanyuren every year."
"Every year? We've caught you red-handed twice in a row. Are you trying to fool us?"
Ran Qingxuan didn't believe such a coincidence. Seeing that she didn't believe it, Ma Kui spoke up quickly.
“It’s true… but I didn’t see it with my own eyes, because Qi Minghao had received money to help transport the coffin, and for some reason the third branch of the Qi family became involved with the Lanyu people.
The first time was when I was gambling with Qi Minghao, and the servant beside Qi Guang came over and I overheard a few words. The second time was when Qi Minghao was drunk and accidentally let the secret slip. ”
Gu Yanchen narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What did Qi Minghao say? Did he mention the person in the coffin?"
"It seems...it seems that his father is providing some medicine to the Blue Feather people..."
"What medicine?"
"Who knows what medicine it is? It can't be a tranquilizer..."
This question was a bit difficult for Ma Kui. Apart from listening to a few comments, he knew nothing else.
Ran Qingxuan could tell that he didn't seem to be lying, and he also understood that if they wanted to ask more questions about the third brother, they would have to find Qi Minghao.
The clue was cut off just like that, and even though Gu Yanchen was unwilling, he could do nothing about it, after all, this was all Ma Kui knew.
"Qi Minghao, that beast, dared to collude with the Lanyu people, and the third brother actually helped him. He even wanted to use the Lanyu people to seize the position of the head of the family from the second brother. With his idiot son, he really dared to think about it!"
Qi Dong, who was leaning against the tree, had already woken up. The questions Ran Qingxuan asked were about Qi family secrets, which Qi Minghe and Qi Dong had not expected.
"The Lanyu people are good at using poison. If they don't want to help Qi Guang get the position of the head of the family, but want to get their hands on the Qi family pharmacy, then the amount of medicine distributed to various places every year is countless. Once they get their mind on it, the Qi family will definitely be destroyed."
Qi Dong thought a lot, but Ran Qingxuan felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea. At the beginning, the Lanyu people not only poisoned Gu Yanrui, but also secretly injured Gu Yanchen. Each and every one of these things was enough to show the wolfish ambitions of this group of people.
If they wanted to infiltrate Northern Qi through the pharmacy, it would be impossible to defend against it, after all, who knows who will buy the medicine.
"No, this matter concerns the lives of all nine members of our Qi family. I must go back and tell your father quickly to prevent the third brother from attacking your parents again."
Qi Dong stood up in a hurry. Qi Minghe probably hadn't recovered from the whole incident yet, and stood there in a daze.
Qi Dong was so angry when he saw him like this that he raised his hand and was ready to hit him, but he stopped abruptly when he thought of something and put his hand on his shoulder instead.
"Ming He, after this incident, I think it's time for you to grow up. Your father asked me to bring you out to gain experience because he wanted to pass the position of head of the family to you in the future. If you still have the mentality of a child, what will happen to the Qi family in the future, and what will happen to the whole family?"
"Uncle, but..."
"I know what you want to say. No matter what you said before, you have no intention of taking the position of the head of the family. You have to take on the responsibility now. Your cousin has great ambitions but he is ill. Your aunt and I just hope that he can live a peaceful life.
Now that this has happened, do you want to watch the foundation that your grandfather, your father and I have worked so hard to build, all destroyed by your third uncle's two idiot sons?
What else do they do besides eating, drinking, gambling, and asking for money from their families? ”
"Among the younger generations of the Qi family, you are the only one who can shoulder the responsibility. Don't muddle along like you did before, thinking that there will be someone standing behind you to help you. One day you will have to face everything alone."
