First update,

"Qin Fang..."

When Fan Ning was released, groggy, from that dimly lit small room, the first thing she saw was an all-too-familiar figure. Without thinking, she cried out and bolted towards Qin Fang, throwing herself into his arms.

Qin Fang too opened his arms, welcoming the little woman who had suffered all day, and wrapped his hands around Fan Ning's slight figure, enveloping her completely in his embrace.

"It's okay now, it's all right. Let's go home!"

Qin Fang gently patted Fan Ning's back, softly comforting her.

Throughout the entire day, Fan Ning had been frightened, and even Qin Fang himself had been restless. Despite the constant setbacks, they finally arrived at a very satisfactory conclusion.

"Go home! Home..."

Fan Ning just repeated Qin Fang's words unconsciously, perhaps because she had been in extreme fear all day. She appeared extremely exhausted, her eyes hadn't closed for even a moment, and it was only at this moment, under Qin Fang's reassurance, that her mind completely relaxed, and she fell asleep in Qin Fang's arms.

Looking at the woman in his arms who had fallen deep into slumber, a faint smile appeared on Qin Fang's face.

Now that the purpose of his visit was accomplished, Qin Fang naturally saw no need to stay and immediately prepared to leave Bihai Pavilion with Fan Ning.

"What? You're still thinking of keeping me here?"

Yet, as they were about to reach the exit, Qin Fang was stopped. Looking at Li Hui in front of him, Qin Fang scoffed.

"Young Master Qin, you misunderstand. We will certainly not stop you if you wish to leave... This is our Bihai Pavilion VIP card. Please accept it. With this, you can enjoy a 50% discount anytime you visit Bihai Pavilion!"

Li Hui just smiled, then presented a pale gold VIP card with both hands. He spoke to Qin Fang with much courtesy, showing no sign of being offended by Qin Fang's harsh treatment not long before.

"Well, thank you very much then!"

Qin Fang was not pretentious. Though he found Li Hui's behavior slightly odd, he guessed it must have been arranged by Li Rui, so he accepted the VIP card graciously and left with Fan Ning.

...

Shortly after Qin Fang left Bihai Pavilion with Fan Ning, some activity was happening at the back door of Bihai Pavilion. Two large, dark sacks were loaded into a van.

The sacks were trembling non-stop, clearly indicating something alive was inside. As for what was in them, only the people of Bihai Pavilion knew. Certainly, Qin Fang couldn't possibly have known.

Li Hui took charge of the matter himself, accompanying the van towards the northern part of the city with several other vehicles.

"Brother Rui, the job is done!"

More than an hour later, Li Rui, still peacefully resting in the villa, received the call from Li Hui. The message was very simple, just this one sentence.

After hanging up the phone, Li Rui sat silently, staring at the bright moonlight outside the window. His face remained calm and unperturbed like a still well.

"Chen Weilian, Qin Fang... Qin Fang, Chen Weilian..."

He continuously repeated the two names but no sign of emotion showed on his face. In the dimness, the face of the zombie was vaguely visible, almost always by Li Rui's side, never avoiding even when Li Rui and Liu Shiyun were engaging in intimate acts.

...

Having brought Fan Ning back to the school, Qin Fang clearly couldn't let her stay in the faculty dormitory area anymore and directly brought her back to his place.

Although Shen Liang saw Qin Fang bring back an unfamiliar woman, he pretended not to see. Now, not only did he work as a security guard at the Sawmill Factory, but he also moonlighted as Qin Fang's personal bodyguard.

Qin Fang didn't hide much from him, and Shen Liang was tight-lipped. Naturally, he wouldn't be nosy, and he even helped to deal with some footage captured by the surveillance system.

Fan Ning perhaps was truly exhausted, sleeping for a whole day and night, until the growling of her stomach woke her.

"You're awake? Have some food first."

Qin Fang had also been with her the entire time. Fan Ning had been so scared that he was a little worried about her fragile state. He only started hastily preparing something to eat when Fan Ning was about to wake up.

"Hmm!"

Seeing Qin Fang, Fan Ning immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction.

The torture in the darkness of that day and night had almost made her feel life wasn't worth living. When she was first forced to join the organization, she had experienced similar treatment, which is why Fan Ning had a mild fear of enclosed spaces. Knowing that she had been caught and taken back by the organization, her fear and anxiety made her vulnerable.

But at her most panic-stricken moment, Qin Fang appeared. He rescued her from that terrifying cabin. At the sight of Qin Fang, Fan Ning even harbored the thought of dying for his sake.

She thought it was all a dream, but when she awoke, she saw Qin Fang's smiling face and the flicker of relief and comfort in his eyes, filling her heart instantly.

By now it was evening, and the sky outside had already darkened. The Sawmill Factory was still very quiet. Qin Fang and Fan Ning sat opposite each other, quietly enjoying a delicious yet simple dinner.

"Qin Fang…"

Fan Ning opened her mouth and called out to Qin Fang.

"Hmm, what's the matter?"

Qin Fang put down his chopsticks, looked at Fan Ning opposite him, and then casually continued eating.

"I think… I want to leave Ninghai!"

Fan Ning hesitated for a bit before speaking timidly.

Qin Fang's hand paused, he slightly raised his head to look at Fan Ning, and was silent for a while. "Where do you want to go?"

But Fan Ning shook her head, seemingly without a specific direction. She hesitated, then murmured, "I'm a burden, I don't want to cause trouble for you…"

Clearly, this experience had really made Fan Ning very worried. Although she was unaware that Qin Fang had stormed Bihai Pavilion alone to force Li Rui to hand someone over, she understood that him rescuing her from the organization must have taken a lot of effort.

She now was completely severed from the organization, and as far as she knew, the organization's stronghold was around Ninghai, influencing several nearby provinces with its deeply-hidden, formidable strength. It was not something Qin Fang could handle alone.

Fan Ning understood this, and so did Qin Fang, which is why he didn't stop her.

"How about I send you abroad to take a break, have some fun, and then come back when you're ready…"

Qin Fang thought for a moment. He now knew some of the people behind the organization. Next, he would gradually work to expose the organization. Sending Fan Ning away to avoid the organization's attention was a good strategy.

"…That's a good idea!"

Fan Ning hesitated for a moment, then obediently nodded.

The matter was tentatively settled. That evening, Qin Fang didn't go out. He even turned off his phone. Perhaps because they were going to part, he stayed with Fan Ning all night. Their passion fully unleashed, leaving traces of their love all over Qin Fang's small house.

It was also at this moment that Fan Ning's feelings for Qin Fang completely burst forth.

…

Getting Fan Ning out of the country was a complicated affair. She did have a passport, but the organization had been aware of it all along. Using her original passport would have easily tipped off the organization, so Qin Fang asked Ning Weiqiang to help with the process.

The news of Qin Fang storming Bihai Pavilion and getting out unscathed had already spread in certain circles of Ninghai. Li Rui's pride had essentially been scraped by Qin Fang, but Li Rui showed no response.

Some dared to discuss the matter behind Li Rui's back, but no one dared say it to his face, unless they were tired of living.

Ning Weiqiang had also heard about it. He had initially thought it was just a joke, as such rumors often change as they spread.

He had intended to call Qin Fang to find out if it was true, but before he could pick up the phone, Qin Fang called first.

"Just this little matter? I'll have someone take care of it for you later… Never mind, don't bother too much about it. Bring your things over as well, and we'll get your passport sorted out too, along with a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit and the like!"

Upon hearing that Qin Fang only wanted him to handle this small request, Ning Weiqiang naturally wouldn't refuse. He promptly agreed, even offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal, sorting out Qin Fang's documents as well.

"Alright, I'll come to see you later!"

Qin Fang naturally wouldn't refuse. His business was gradually picking up, and it was quite normal for him to travel abroad. It would be more convenient to get the paperwork done sooner.

"By the way, was the Bihai Pavilion incident really your doing?"

After taking care of these small things, Ning Weiqiang naturally did not forget to inquire about this matter. Not only him, but Tang Cheng also showed considerable interest.

"Sigh, I had no choice…"

Qin Fang knew he couldn't keep the matter secret, as there were too many witnesses at the casino, including some wealthy heirs and government offspring. In the end, Qin Fang walked out of Bihai Pavilion nonchalantly, and that incident would inevitably spread.

Compared to the last time when he discreetly handled Ye Xiang, this time Qin Fang made a significant splash. His renown in Ninghai surpassed that of the privileged young masters at the city level, even overshadowing Ning Weiqiang. He suddenly became an idol in the hearts of many wealthy heirs and government offspring.

Of course, with Qin Fang's rising profile, trouble also followed.

Many knew of Ning Weiqiang's good relations with Qin Fang, but they didn't have such connections with Qin Fang themselves. Many approached Ning Weiqiang, hoping he could introduce them to Qin Fang. They couldn't all become friends, but meeting him once, showing their face, and forming a connection was considered very worthwhile. (To be continued.
