Kangqian Pharmaceutical Company, back warehouse.
“Bang—!”
“Bang!! Bang Bang——!”
The sound of iron hitting the ground, accompanied by dull sounds of smashing and banging, came from a compartment in the corner of the warehouse.
Inside the compartment.
A woman with disheveled hair was tied tightly to a stool.
Qin Hairui stood in front of the stool, glaring at the woman, and sneered, "If you don't speak up in five minutes, that iron box will be your final destination!"
He pointed to a metal box not far away where his cousins were banging and assembling it.
The woman in white kimono, Lily, slowly raised her head, revealing her swollen and red face covered with slap marks.
She grinned and shouted with great vigor, "Long live the Great Sun Empire!"
“Bang!”
Qin Hairui raised his hand and slapped Lily, and cursed angrily: "Long live the fucking Gobi!"
He grabbed Lily's hair roughly, with a vicious look on his face, and warned her sinisterly.
"Four minutes left. If you don't tell the truth, I'll stuff you into a metal box and sink you into the river!"
Lily stared at Qin Hairui with hatred and said in a trembling voice: "You are a devil! You Chinese are the embodiment of the devil, cunning and vicious! A bunch of villains!"
“Snap! Snap——!”
Qin Hairui grabbed Lily's hair and slapped her twice.
"I asked you why you were staring at my sister, don't tell me nonsense!"
There was blood at the corners of Lily's mouth, but she still looked unconvinced. She looked up at Qin Hairui with anger and unwillingness in her eyes.
"I won't say anything! I will always be loyal to my family!!!"
“Bang!”
Qin Hairui was furious and kicked Baihe and the stool to the ground.
He pointed at Lily's nose and growled angrily, "Good! Very good! If you want to speak next, I won't let you open your mouth!"
Qin Hairui was searching for something quickly in the empty cubicle.
When he saw the rag covered with black oil at his feet, he bent down to pick it up, grabbed Lily's hair again, and lifted her up easily by her scalp.
He stuffed the smelly rag in his hand into Lily's mouth.
"Damn it! You have no shame!"
"I want to see if you are really not afraid of death or are you just pretending!"
Lily was irritated by the strange taste in her mouth and shook her head frantically: "Mmmmm--"
Qin Hairui didn't allow her to resist. After stuffing the black oil cloth into Lily's mouth, he kicked her and the stool to the ground.
He looked down at the disheveled Lily and asked without turning his head.
"Brother Zhiheng! The box is not ready yet?!"
"Right away! Wait a minute!"
Qin Zhiheng directed several cousins to fix the iron box with nails.
He walked to Qin Hairui's side and asked in a low voice: "What does Ah Shu mean? Are you really going to give the person to..."
Qin Zhiheng gestured with his hand on his neck: "If we really do this, we will take risks. We must prepare for the worst."
What he meant was that it would be better to find a scapegoat, after all, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
Qin Hairui suppressed his anger and looked at Qin Zhiheng with an indescribable expression.
"What are you thinking? I was just trying to scare her. These bastards look tough on ordinary days, but when it comes to a life-and-death situation, they will definitely piss their pants out of fear!"
Qin Zhiheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Qin Hairui with resentment.
"You scared me to death! I'm ready to take the blame for you."
Qin Hairui lowered his eyes and glanced at Lily, who was tied to a stool. Her posture was awkward and funny.
He said with disdain: "She is willing to sacrifice our whole life for such a piece of shit? How can she be so shameless!"
Qin Zhiheng chuckled and patted Qin Hairui on the shoulder.
"Your temper is getting more and more violent. Is Ah Shu's condition so serious?"
He only knew that Qin Shu was being plotted against, but he didn't know the details.
Qin Hairui's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A Shu almost lost three lives!"
"If Xie Lanzhi hadn't personally performed the acupuncture at the critical moment of life and death, the two children would probably not have survived!"
The smile on Qin Zhiheng's face faded, and his voice became deeper: "So serious?!"
Qin Hairui nodded: "Xie Lanzhi, an amateur, gave me acupuncture, and shortened my life by more than ten years!"
Qin Zhiheng's eyes widened: "Is it the Thirteen Ghost Needles?!"
Losing more than ten years of life is no joke!
Only the Thirteen Ghost Needles have such a powerful backlash power!
Qin Hairui nodded solemnly: "Xie Lanzhi is a child of destiny. He can do this at the moment of life and death. It can be seen that he cares about Ah Shu more than we imagined."
Qin Zhiheng's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively: "What does Ah Shu mean? Should we hold a sacrificial ceremony?"
Qin Shu is the inheritor of this generation of the Qin family, and her status gives her more say than the patriarch.
As Qin Shu's husband, Xie Lanzhi is considered half a member of the Qin family and can enjoy the Qin family's secrets to health and longevity.
Qin Hairui understood what his cousin had not said and nodded slightly: "When Ah Shu recovers, we will open the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors. We must let Xie Lanzhi understand that his sacrifice of saving her life has earned him a longevity that cannot be bought with money."
This time, Xie Lanzhi risked his life to save Qin Shu, and not only did he get the promise of his beloved wife, but he also got the recognition of the Qin family.
Qin Zhiheng agreed and said, "Yes, Ah Shu is the successor of our generation. She is also the one that Grandpa often mentions. She is the most promising hope to restore the glory of Qin's medical skills. Xie Lanzhi saved her, which is equivalent to saving the entire Qin family. Otherwise, the Qin's medical skills would be cut off."
A faint smile appeared in Qin Hairui's eyes: "No, Ah Shu has already started to train Xie Chennan. That child is just like Ah Shu. He has been holding medical books since he was born."
"Moreover, with Ah Shu's ability, she can protect herself, but she won't do anything that would hurt the enemy and herself unless it's absolutely necessary."
Qin Zhiheng asked worriedly, "Are you sure? It's the second nephew?"
The successor to the medical skills can only be selected by the inheritor himself.
It was a mysterious feeling.
It is judged based on the inheritor's mysterious perception and the heir's acquired superb talent.
Qin Hairui nodded and said, "It's most likely him. Ah Shu confirmed it after personally practicing it."
Qin Zhiheng stroked his chin and said, "That can't be wrong. Our Qin family will soon have a new heir. Should we let our nephew change his surname?"
The Qin family's medical skills have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and almost half of the Qin family members are gone.
Not every heir has the surname Qin, there are also people with different surnames.
For example, Qin Shu married into the Xie family and her child had the surname Xie.
Once a descendant of the Xie family is chosen as the heir, he must change his surname to Qin.
Qin Hairui waved his hand and said, "There's no rush for this. It won't be too late to talk about it after it's officially confirmed. Let Xie Lanzhi return to his original state first.
He is seven years older than Ah Shu, and now has a head full of white hair. When he and Ah Shu stand together, they look like a father and daughter from behind. It hurts my eyes just looking at them!"
“A-choo!”
The complaints from his brother-in-law made Xie Lanzhi, who was standing at the door of the warehouse, sneeze violently.
