Qin Fang was clearly unaware of these matters, nor was he inclined to inquire about them.

His task had already been completed, and now he was simply waiting to collect his payment.

As for whether Elder Long would renege on the deal, Qin Fang didn't care much. He believed Elder Long wasn't foolish enough to make such an unwise move.

Others might fear Elder Long's influence, but Qin Fang's actions had shaken even Elder Long to the core. It wouldn't be worth alienating someone like Qin Fang for a mere sum of money.

In terms of power and resources, Han Long was clearly a step above Elder Long.

Elder Long was merely a local tyrant. He could rule over Hong Kong Island without issue, but once he left, nobody took him seriously.

Han Long, on the other hand, was widely renowned across Southeast Asia. He had even earned significant renown in the underground world, yet he'd still ended up dead at Qin Fang's hands.

Compared to Han Long, killing Elder Long would be far simpler for Qin Fang...

As for the trouble Elder Long had invited by stealing this batch of drugs, offending the Yamaguchi Group and the Sanlian Gang, that was his own mess to sort out. It had nothing to do with Qin Fang.

Hong Kong Island was Elder Long's turf, and conflict with these two gangs was nothing new. They'd clashed and killed each other plenty of times already, and this instance was just a sudden flare-up.

The main forces of both gangs were not stationed on Hong Kong Island, so they could only bite the bullet this time...

Regarding how the drug traffickers from the Golden Triangle and Jiang Rou might react, Qin Fang did feel a bit curious. But since this was Elder Long's headache, he must have already prepared countermeasures for it. It wasn't anything Qin Fang needed to worry about...

For now, this matter was a closed chapter. Within a few days, Elder Long wired the money to Qin Fang's account. Qin Fang didn't pay much attention to the amount; it was just symbolic anyway. The exact value of the goods was never precise, and as long as it was close enough, it sufficed.

However, with this payment, Qin Fang's wealth was approaching 1 billion. Converted to US dollars, it was over 100 million—he was now genuinely a billionaire.

Despite this, Qin Fang didn't feel much of a change. He was still the same person, and there weren't too many places where he truly needed to spend money...

For now, Qin Yuanyuan was temporarily settled in a hotel. Most of the time, she explored various parts of Hong Kong Island on her own, while Qin Fang occasionally spent a night or two accompanying her.

Of course, Qin Fang couldn't neglect the first wife either.

Naturally, Qin Fang hadn't hidden this matter deliberately. He had already explained everything to Tang Feifei, including Qin Yuanyuan's past and Qin Fang's arrangements for her.

Tang Feifei wasn't an unreasonable person. She didn't protest and tacitly accepted Qin Yuanyuan's presence...

As for the harem affairs, with Tang Feifei managing these issues, Qin Fang didn't need to concern himself. He could focus his energy on his own endeavors.

For example… boxing!

His father, Qin Tiannan, was still on Devil's Island, awaiting his rescue. Improving his own strength was Qin Fang's current top priority.

Underground boxing matches were an excellent avenue—although the opponents weren't comparable to Qin Fang for now, defeating them would not only sharpen his killing intent but also conveniently increase his Justice Points...

Simultaneously, Qin Fang pondered whether he had a chance to infiltrate the core of the Black Fist Alliance, which held significant allure for him.

Using a disguise to infiltrate the Black Fist Alliance's inner circle was currently part of his plan, and he had already secretly contacted He Zongguan.

Although he merely mentioned introducing a "friend" to the boxing scene without revealing it was himself, He Zongguan didn't mind, readily agreeing... Perhaps He Zongguan had long figured out that this so-called "friend" was none other than Qin Fang himself.

After all, Qin Fang's background and identity limited his ability to directly participate in underground boxing. But there were always alternatives.

For example, wearing a mask or an eye patch...

Although He Zongguan had guessed correctly about the end goal, he was wrong about the approach. Qin Fang didn't use those common disguises. Instead, he adopted an entirely different face, appearing as someone else entirely.

However, plans never keep up with changes...

Just when Qin Fang was about to unleash his new identity, an unexpected event caught him off guard.

"Qin Fang… My brother… My brother, he…"

When Tang Feifei showed up with tears streaming down her face, barely able to speak through her sobs, Qin Fang instantly felt a deep pang of pain in his heart.

"Feifei, what happened? What's wrong with your brother?"

Qin Fang held Tang Feifei tightly, his face filled with worry, mingled with a palpable sense of sympathy and tenderness.

"My brother… something happened to him…"

Tang Feifei's face remained streaked with tears, unable to articulate clearly, struggling to briefly explain the situation to Qin Fang.

It took a while for Qin Fang to piece together the fragmented details she shared and to comprehend why Tang Feifei was so devastated.

This was the story...

Anlang Country, located in the southern region of Dragon Country, bordered Dragon Country's southern edge. The tensions between the two nations had persisted for years, primarily due to Anlang's poverty. Frequent raids and trafficking by drug dealers across the border exacerbated the issue...

On Dragon Country's side, Diannan Province served as the adjoining region, under the jurisdiction of the Jincheng Military Region. Border defense tasks were managed entirely by the military region.

Tang Cheng, the captain of the Ninghai Military Region Special Forces Battalion, had conducted a simple joint military drill last year with the Jincheng Military Region Special Combat Squadron...

At that time, the Jincheng Military Region received intelligence about a heavily armed group infiltrating the Diannan border to pillage and wreak havoc—injuring and killing multiple Dragon Country citizens, stealing vast amounts of resources, and even using their firepower to destroy three border posts.

This incident enraged the Jincheng Military Region, prompting them to deploy the Special Combat Squadron to annihilate the armed forces involved.

Once the intel reached Tang Cheng, he sought permission from the Ninghai Military District. The two military regions embarked on a joint operation, with each side deploying a small task force to infiltrate the border and minimize casualties while eliminating the assailants.

The operation also served as an informal competition between the two special forces units.

This wasn't considered a major mission, and neither military region allocated excessive importance to it. Normally, such operations were straightforward and could be resolved quickly...

But this time, the two forces encountered a severe setback...

Or rather, the entire operation turned out to be a trap from the start.

The armed group was no ordinary Anlang guerrilla force. Not only did they possess fierce firepower using standardized U.S. military-grade weaponry, but they also had an abundant supply of arms and equipment, rivaling that of a regular army.

Moreover, their numbers were substantial, exceeding several hundred. They seemed more like a mid-sized mercenary corps...

The Ninghai and Jincheng Military Regions each sent a special forces squad totaling about 30 soldiers between them.

Due to the competitive nature of the mission, the squads advanced from separate directions and operated independently... making them easy targets for encirclement.

Soon, they lost contact with HQ, and were completely incommunicado to this day.

Such a major incident couldn't be kept under wraps. The two military regions immediately dispatched reinforcements for rescue operations.

Given his position as a special forces commander and his unique status, Tang Cheng's predicament naturally made news, which eventually reached Tang Feifei.

"Feifei, don't worry, your brother is fine. He's still alive…"

Qin Fang held Tang Feifei tightly, gently comforting her, his tone resolute, as though his words were undeniable truth.

"Is he really okay?"

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Tang Feifei stopped crying, albeit hesitantly, and asked for confirmation.

"Yes, he's alive..."

Qin Fang nodded firmly once more, reiterating his certainty.

He wasn't merely saying this to soothe Tang Feifei; he had solid evidence that Tang Cheng was still alive. Tang Cheng's name remained bright on Qin Fang's friend list.

This friend list was a new function Qin Fang unlocked after advancing to Master-Level Detective Skills, resembling a social network feature.

This list displayed names ranked by intimacy, starting with Qin Fang's mother Qin Qing, followed by Tang Feifei, Xiao Muxue, Chu Yunxuan, and other close friends such as Tang Cheng, Ning Weiqiang, and Xiao Nan.

Additionally, there was a category for enemies characterized by hostile relations.

Li Rui, Han Long, and Tu San were among the names listed here.

Some names, like Li Rui and Tu San, remained lit, indicating they were alive, while Han Long's name had grayed out, signifying his death.

This was why Qin Fang could confidently assure Tang Feifei that Tang Cheng was alive!

As for how he knew, Qin Fang decided not to disclose the specifics, as Tang Feifei likely wouldn't believe him anyway.

"Feifei, I'm heading to Anlang immediately…"

Though Qin Fang was certain Tang Cheng was still alive, seeing Tang Feifei in distress compelled him to make this decision without hesitation.

A brother-in-law in trouble naturally necessitated support. Ignoring this would be unconscionable...(To be continued. If you enjoy this story, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
