"Shen Lang, you scoundrel! Do you know he is my elder brother, Qin Cangjing? It was so difficult for me to find him, and you let him go right before my eyes, ruining all my efforts! I'll kill you."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue was completely enraged, her eyes bloodshot as she yelled hysterically at him.
"Qin Cangjing?"
Shen Lang feigned ignorance. "He's my good friend, Can Dao. How could he be Qin Cangjing? Besides, he didn't admit to being Qin Cangjing."
"Right, he even drew his sword just now. If I hadn't stopped him at the crucial moment, you might have already passed on."
"You..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "What do you know? He's my own flesh and blood brother. How could he kill me? And-"
"Alright, alright, I don't know. But the fact remains that I saved you just now. Even if you don't feel grateful, you shouldn't repay kindness with enmity and slap me."
Shen Lang released Qin Lanyue's wrist, acting magnanimous. "I'll let it go this time. If there's a next time, I won't spare you."
After speaking, Shen Lang intended to leave.
However, as soon as Shen Lang turned around, his clothes were tightly grasped by Qin Lanyue.
Qin Lanyue looked at Shen Lang with the expression of someone who had lost a father, and said coldly, "Shen Lang, you ruined my plan, and you think you can just leave like this?"
"What? You don't want me to leave? Do you want to follow me home instead?"
Shen Lang said playfully, "What a coincidence. Although my place isn't small, it's already filled with many beautiful women, so there's no room for you."
"Keeping mistresses in a golden house, what a beautiful thing. Too bad, too bad."
"Scram—"
Shen Lang's flippancy was met with Qin Lanyue's furious roar. "Shen Lang, don't be shameless. The reason I'm following you is because I need to find my elder brother, and you must take me to him."
"I'm telling you, if you dare to refuse, I'll target the people around you. I guarantee they'll all disappear, one by one."
"Qin Lanyue, your joke isn't funny at all."
Hearing Qin Lanyue's words, Shen Lang's expression turned grim. He said to her plainly, "The thing I hate most in my life is when people threaten me using those close to me. This is the first time you've said such a thing. I hope you were just saying it, and that it will only be this once."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue's expression changed, as she felt a terrifying killing intent emanating from him.
This meant that, in that moment, Shen Lang had truly harbored the intention to kill her.
Perhaps it was Shen Lang's instinctive reaction, but it still sent a chill down Qin Lanyue's spine.
"Alright, don't be so tense. I was just reminding you."
Seeing Qin Lanyue's grave expression, Shen Lang smiled. "The reason I stopped you just now was because the timing for you to acknowledge Can Dao wasn't right. Didn't you see he has a knot in his heart and doesn't want any connection to his past?"
Shen Lang looked at the frightened Qin Lanyue and comforted her, "He came, fate begins; he left, fate ends. You seek him, fate begins; you don't seek him, fate ends. The paths walked, the people met, each has its cause, each has its destiny. When fate arrives, you will meet again; when fate arrives, you will recognize each other."
"You..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue finally calmed down. She looked at Shen Lang and asked, "What exactly is your relationship with my elder brother?"
"I already told you, he's my good friend, Can Dao."
Shen Lang smiled. "If you want to see him again, you need to treat me better, understand?"
"You..."
Qin Lanyue was exasperated but had to admit that Shen Lang was indeed the best way for her to find her elder brother.
However, while Qin Lanyue was fuming, Shen Lang suddenly remembered something and said to her, "Qin Lanyue, you've been following me for a long time, haven't you?"
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue feigned ignorance.
"Don't pretend you don't know. Do you think this can fool me?"
Shen Lang said, "I suspect you've had people secretly tracking me since the last time you saw me. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence to run into Can Dao here."
"Even if I did, so what? Who told you to know my elder brother's whereabouts and not tell me?"
Qin Lanyue snorted. "Are you going to hold me accountable?"
"Alright, alright, you are Miss Qin, and you are right. I can't argue with you."
Shen Lang hated it when women acted unreasonably, so he simply conceded. "Since the matter is over, let's go our separate ways. Goodbye."
"Shen Lang, you think you can just leave like this?"
Seeing Shen Lang about to leave, Qin Lanyue snorted.
"Miss Qin, don't act so coy. Anyone who doesn't know might think we have some illicit relationship."
Shen Lang took a step back, putting distance between himself and Qin Lanyue. "I am a married man now. Don't have any ideas about me."
"A dog's mouth can only spew dirty words."
As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, Qin Lanyue cursed. "I will never have any thoughts about someone like you. But don't you even care about Tang Wuzui?"
"Tang Wuzui? What happened to her?"
Hearing Qin Lanyue's words, Shen Lang asked with surprise.
Tang Wuzui had helped Shen Lang many times, even helping him earn nine hundred billion. Shen Lang was very concerned about Tang Wuzui.
"She's sick, dying."
Hearing Shen Lang's question, Qin Lanyue's eyes dimmed, and she said with a pained expression.
"Nonsense—"
As soon as Qin Lanyue finished speaking, Shen Lang shouted, "Qin Lanyue, what nonsense are you spouting? If you don't believe me, just follow me and see for yourself."
"Lead the way."
Hearing that Tang Wuzui was gravely ill, obvious worry appeared on Shen Lang's face. He said to Qin Lanyue.
"Hmph—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Lanyue coldly snorted, then said to Shen Lang, "Get in my car."
Qin Lanyue's car was a red BMW. Although it wasn't the latest model, the five 'fives' after the Dragon Capital license plate were quite eye-catching.
After Shen Lang got into Qin Lanyue's car, she drove them away from the White Horse Club. Half an hour later, they arrived at a private hospital.
This was the best private hospital in Nanling, called Baihua Hospital. It not only had the best doctors but also the most advanced medical equipment.
Of course, not only were the examination fees exorbitant, but the daily hospitalization fees were also six figures, making it unaffordable for ordinary people.
Under Qin Lanyue's guidance, Shen Lang quickly arrived at the inpatient department of Baihua Hospital and then went to a single VIP ward on the seventh floor.
However, upon entering the room, Shen Lang saw Tang Wuzui lying on the bed, barely alive. Her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
"Tang Wuzui, how did you become like this?"
Shen Lang had thought Qin Lanyue was exaggerating, but upon seeing Tang Wuzui's actual condition, he was utterly shocked and cried out.
