C30 Negotiate a Condition
"Three years ago, the Zhang family of the capital asked the Shen family to find a high-grade spiritual stone in their jade mine."
"At that time, the Shen family didn't know what a high-grade spiritual stone was. We didn't even have the concept of a spiritual stone. Therefore, the Zhang family of the capital sent someone to help us find a high-grade spiritual stone."
"That person searched with us for nearly two years. Finally, we found a high-grade spiritual stone. At this moment, a mysterious force suddenly took the high grade spiritual stone away."
At that time, the Zhang family in the capital was very clear about the whole story, so they didn't cause trouble for the Shen family. Thus, another year passed just like that. "
"Until three months ago, someone suddenly told the Zhang family in the capital that the Shen family was still in control of that high-grade spiritual stone and wanted to take it for themselves!"
Shen Ruolan cried and said, "Our family doesn't have any high-grade medicinal spiritual stones. A year ago, when that mysterious force broke into the ore vein and snatched the high-grade medicinal spiritual stone, I was at the scene!"
Hearing Shen Ruolan finish speaking these words, Qin Chao roughly also knew some inside information.
Of course, Qin Chao also knew very well that Shen Ruolan definitely did not know some more detailed inside information.
Because Qin Chao could tell from the conversation of the group today that the mysterious force had colluded with the Shen family, or had colluded with some people of the Shen family. However, Qin Chao did not know who exactly they were.
"How about this? Tell your patriarch something!" Qin Chao turned his head and looked at Shen Ruolan. "I want to talk to him about something!"
Shen Ruolan asked, "What condition? What do you want?"
Qin Chao said indifferently, "Tell the patriarch of the Shen family that if the Shen family wants to continue existing, then he better give that thing to me as an exchange of benefits. I will ensure the safety of the Shen family for ten years."
After listening to what Qin Chao said, Shen Ruolan tilted her head. "What are you talking about?"
Shen Ruolan knew very well that Qin Chao's strength was extraordinary. She also believed that Qin Chao could ensure Shen family's safety for ten years, but what was that thing he was talking about?
"You don't need to know what it is. You just need to tell the patriarch of the Shen family what I said." Qin Chao yawned after he finished speaking. He waved his hand and went back to his room to continue his cultivation.
Shen Ruolan tilted her head in confusion for a while, then sighed and went back to her room.
The next morning, Shen Ruolan came to the Shen family's main house and found the family head to pass on Qin Chao's exact words.
The patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Tianlin, felt his hair stand on end.
"Did Qin Chao tell you? How did he know about this?" Shen Tianlin asked nervously.
Shen Ruolan was very confused. She did not know what Qin Chao wanted. She also did not know what the Chief of Shen family was nervous about.
However, she knew very well that both sides were hiding it from her.
"No." Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "I have asked him but he only asked me to convey his original words to you. There are no other words!"
Hearing this, Shen Tianlin could not help being silent. His heart was filled with suspicion. He did not know how Qin Chao got this news, but judging from Qin Chao's strength yesterday, and thinking of how he left so early yesterday, he must have received some news last night with such a condition this morning.
And those who knew about it must have heard about it. Only the Zhang family of the capital and Shen family of Qingzhou knew about this. There was also that mysterious power. The Zhang family had already been offended to death. Therefore, it was impossible for the Zhang family of the capital to tell Qin Chao the news.
It seemed like this was the case. Could it be that Qin Chao had already established a connection with that mysterious force?
Thinking of this, Shen Tianlin couldn't help but frown. His vigilance towards Qin Chao became stronger.
To be able to make contact with that mysterious force, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
Either one had great strength as a guarantee, or one had to have vast connections. Moreover, one could accurately know the true bottom line between the Shen family and the mysterious force.
Qin Chao had been chased out of the Qin family a long time ago, and there was no force behind him. It was hard for Shen Tianlin to understand why he was able to connect with the mysterious force out of thin air.
After thinking for a while, Shen Tianlin rolled his eyes and said to Shen Ruolan, "Go back and tell Qin Chao that if he can help us get rid of that mysterious force, not only will I give him what he wants, but I will also give him something unexpected!"
After saying that, Shen Tianlin smiled mysteriously.
Shen Ruolan was confused and completely kept in the dark. She did not know what the Shen Family Patriarch and Qin Chao were talking about.
When they returned to the villa, Shen Ruolan passed the patriarch's message to Qin Chao.
"Okay!"
Qin Chao agreed immediately and did not delay any further. Under Shen Ruolan's puzzled gaze, he immediately set off.
Qin Chao guessed that the place where the mysterious force was stationed was most likely the abandoned factory. However, when he arrived at the abandoned factory, he found that the people there had already evacuated.
It made sense. Yesterday, Qin Chao had specially sent a signal to those people. They were on alert, so it was reasonable for them to choose to leave.
However, Qin Chao also kept a hand. He found a talisman that he had left here yesterday near the abandoned factory.
This talisman was specially used to track people. Within 50 meters, anyone who appeared would be marked by this talisman and leave a unique message on their bodies, which was to make it easier to track them at any time.
Through the tracking talisman, Qin Chao discovered that this group of people had fled to the southeast. Without much hesitation, he immediately followed them.
With the memory of the prodigal, Qin Chao was familiar with this city. This abandoned factory was already in the outskirts. There was only one building in the southeast direction, an abandoned basketball court.
Although it looked like an abandoned basketball court, this basketball court used to be used for city-level competitions. There were many rooms there for people to live in.
Qin Chao followed this place and found that the group of people were indeed here. Just as they were discussing something, Qin Chao broke in and shouted coldly, "Everyone, today is the day you die!"
The people in the house immediately reacted. They picked up their weapons and aimed at Qin Chao. They did not know how Qin Chao found them, nor did they know why Qin Chao wanted to find them.
"It's you!" The boss suddenly stood up and looked at Qin Chao. He could not help but recall the scene in the Wanhao Hotel yesterday. He immediately looked as if he was facing a great enemy.
"May I know where we offended you?"
"Boss, you don't need to ask. This guy must be a lackey of the Shen family!" One of his subordinates couldn't help but jump out and curse. "Why else would he come and kill us?"
"The Shen family is ungrateful! We risked our lives for the Shen family, but in the end, they want to get rid of us!"
"The Shen family is the dog of the Zhang family in the capital. Now that they have offended the Zhang family, they want to get rid of us and beg for forgiveness from the Zhang family! " They have killed the people of the Zhang family, and now they want to lick the Zhang family. How could there be such a good thing?! "
"We are not to be trifled with. At worst, we will fight to the death!"
Qin Chao was very surprised when he heard these words. He didn't have a good impression of the Shen family in his heart.
He knew very well that the Shen family was using him!
However, since he was using him, he should use him better. After all, he was also making a deal with the Shen family!
He would protect the Shen family, and the Shen family would give him what he wanted. The two of them were related to benefits.
However, after hearing these people's words, Qin Chao gave up on the idea of killing these people immediately. He planned to wait until these people told him the whole story before deciding their life and death.
"Alright. Since you all don't want to die, then tell me the whole story. After all, I'm not a homicidal maniac. I don't want to kill innocent people."
