Qin Muchuan managed to retrieve all of the previously detained smuggled rare earth minerals through various connections.
Zhou Ziqing's friend also, as promised, gave him twenty million yuan, which helped him out of a crisis.
Qin Muchuan was particularly grateful and moved. He tightly held Ziqing's hand. "I'm really thankful this time. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have been able to overcome this economic crisis!"
Ziqing smiled sweetly. "Hey, we don't owe each other anything, I'm not separate from you!"
"Yeah!"
Holding her hand tighter, Qin Muchuan added, "But how could you be friends with someone like him who seems reckless and may not have any real friends of their own and is daring enough to operate such big smuggling operations?"
