The first update,

...

Qin Fang had been somewhat worried about not being able to retrieve the video data; after all, a considerable amount of time had elapsed since he discovered and removed those cameras until he arrived at this small room.

If the voyeur hadn't been paying close attention, it wouldn't have been a problem, but if they were, they would have had enough time to escape to the ends of the earth, and Qin Fang, no matter how capable, wouldn't be able to catch them in the vast sea of people.

However, it seemed Qin Fang's luck was quite good; the voyeur hadn't run away but was brazenly waiting to be caught...

Despite the voyeur's current situation seeming rather dire... Qin Fang's kick had been too violent, even through a door, it still inflicted serious injury on the Wretched Brother.

The Wretched Brother hadn't expected Qin Fang to suddenly arrive, especially not in such a violent manner. He hadn't had the chance to dodge and was struck down by the door, breaking several bones.

At this moment, his bones felt like jelly; the pain was severe, and his face was a bloody mess, with his nasal bones shattered, hanging limply on his face.

Qin Fang had no time to attend to him, but he wasn't polite, either. He stepped on the door, increasing the pain for the Wretched Brother, who could only gasp for air... his mouth twisted to one side.

Qin Fang couldn't just stand idly by; having found the voyeur, he needed to search for the video data. Without hesitation, he took the laptop and started looking for the video files.

Though Qin Fang wasn't a hacking expert like Xiao Nan, he wasn't unfamiliar with computers. After all, he had spent nearly two months in an online gaming workshop and could fix minor computer issues himself, let alone searching for files on a computer.

But Qin Fang was quickly disappointed. The laptop was empty; he scanned it several times and didn't find what he was looking for.

Although the software on the desktop could directly monitor the feeds from the cameras, the video data wasn't stored on this laptop.

"There must be another storage location..."

Qin Fang wasn't foolish and quickly understood this point. It was clearly a program made by an expert, a highly skilled one at that, and Qin Fang with his novice computer skills couldn't outmatch such an expert.

Thinking this, Qin Fang pondered if he should ask Xiao Nan to teach him hacking skills after returning. If it became a type of Skill, Qin Fang might even develop into a world-class top hacker, surpassing his almost teacher Xiao Nan...

But distant water can't quench immediate thirst; the current predicament needed to be solved quickly.

Even though the voyeur's computer didn't store the video data, he certainly knew where the videos were sent.

So, Qin Fang shifted his gaze from the laptop and turned towards the Wretched Brother lying beneath his feet, gasping in fear but not daring to make too much noise.

"What... what do you want to do..."

The Wretched Brother was already in severe pain, and Qin Fang's kick had been especially ruthless. And with his weak physique, which was a common issue for tech nerds, the violent impact was almost unbearable; that single blow might have broken several bones, and he was likely to spend a not-so-short time in the hospital.

However, that assumed Qin Fang would kindly let him go, but at least when he noticed Qin Fang's expression, a chilling fear inexplicably surged inside him. It seemed like he wasn't facing a young man who appeared a little younger than himself but a savage beast ready to pounce and devour at any moment.

"This isn't a person, it's a Godzilla!"

This thought popped into the Wretched Brother's head, and his panic intensified. However, his face, smeared with blood, made it difficult to see clearly...

But this didn't affect Qin Fang's determination to deal with him. He wouldn't let him off easily before he got the videos.

With a flick of his wrist, the door slammed to the side, revealing the Wretched Brother's bare buttocks to Qin Fang, prompting a wry smile from him.

Fortunately, they were both men; bare buttocks were just that, the same as in a public bathhouse, nothing strange about it, despite the different context.

"Come clean, where are the goods?"

Qin Fang didn't immediately resort to force but spoke in a very calm tone. However, the intense aura emanating from him was quite terrifying.

People of a higher level exert a clear superiority over those of a lower level.

The Wretched Brother was merely an ordinary Level 1 person, far below Qin Fang's Level 4, making the level suppression very apparent. The strong aura that the Wretched Brother felt was indeed the effect of level suppression.

If it had been another Level 4, the same level as Qin Fang, the feeling wouldn't be as pronounced. For a Level 3, there would be suppression, but it wouldn't be as intense.

"I... I don't know anything!"

But Wretched Brother clearly wasn't going to surrender that easily. Seeing Qin Fang here, he knew things were going to get bad, yet from his angle, he could conveniently see the laptop screen. All other cameras showed no feed at all, leaving only the last one on the balcony.

Wretched Brother was actually quite wronged. It had taken him two hours to repair this laptop, and he had just opened the related program. He hadn't even noticed that the cameras he installed in room 518 had been completely swept clean by Qin Fang; the sole survivor was the one mounted outside on the balcony.

Of course, it was this last surviving camera that betrayed him, leaving him no opportunity for argument or denial. He couldn't possibly claim that the camera was installed by the hotel for the convenience of monitoring the surroundings, right?

That was the fifth floor, after all. Even a thief couldn't climb that high, not to mention that the camera was aimed directly inside the room.

Denial was out of the question, so he might as well play dumb.

Since the video was in his hands and nobody else knew where that thing was except for him, he felt all the more fearless.

Although he hadn't seen the content captured by the camera, judging by Qin Fang's state at the moment, it was definitely explosive.

And since Qin Fang cared so much about these materials, he speculated that both Qin Fang and the woman named Chu Yunxuan had no simple identities, just like the guy he had planned to deal with before. Such relationships could not be exposed.

Given this, Wretched Brother's courage swelled.

"I hold the leverage over you, what can you do to me?"

So he racked his brains on how he could make his escape.

As long as he left smoothly, holding the passionate video of Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan, he could then gain benefits from Qin Fang, just as he had done before.

"Ouch..."

Unfortunately for him, he wasn't dealing with just anyone; he was facing Qin Fang.

This meant his fate tonight was bound to be exceptionally tragic; it wouldn't be as simple as a few broken bones. It was definitely going to be worse than he could imagine.

Seeing Wretched Brother's eyes darting around, Qin Fang knew the guy was scheming. He immediately stepped hard onto his chest. His ribs were definitely broken, and with Qin Fang stepping on him like this, even though Qin Fang wasn't using much strength, it was enough to make Wretched Brother grimace in pain and wail miserably.

It was fortunate that this was happening in the lobby downstairs, and the hotel's front door had already been locked. Otherwise, if the noise got out, someone might call the police.

"Stop playing your shady tricks with me. Hand over the stuff and I won't hold you accountable. Otherwise... hmph!"

Qin Fang's overpowering presence bore down on Wretched Brother, with his foot pressing down a little harder, immediately causing Wretched Brother to cry out in pain, calling for his parents. He had no more thoughts to consider anything else but enduring the pain before him was his utmost expectation.

Wretched Brother was scared and felt guilty.

And Qin Fang's opportunity had come. He threw the Mind Reading Technique at Wretched Brother relentlessly, aiming to extract the hiding place of those video materials directly from his memory.

It was in such a state, when Wretched Brother's defenses were at their weakest, that Qin Fang's Mind Reading Technique was most effective, making it easier to learn the secrets he needed to know.

"Err..."

The unbearable pain turned Wretched Brother's mind into mush, interfering with Qin Fang's mind-reading, forcing Qin Fang to retract his leg. This reduced the pain slightly, making Wretched Brother feel a bit better, and his thoughts gradually calmed down. Only then, Qin Fang managed to find what he needed.

"Damn, this guy really lives up to his wretchedness. No wonder his name is Wei Suo..."

Having gotten what he needed, Qin Fang felt somewhat relieved. He now understood the whole situation, and the security of the item wasn't an immediate issue. He could retrieve it anytime, so he didn't need to worry too much.

At the same time, he learned the name of Wretched Brother, who was actually called Wei Suo, which fit his sleazy character surprisingly well.

Although Wei Suo started this trouble, Qin Fang now knew just how tragic his earlier night had been, blindly blundering about, getting electrocuted while...

"Stay put, and don't you dare move, or see how I'll deal with you..."

Wei Suo was seriously injured at this point; even if he thought of fleeing, he couldn't. Merely moving would cause him excruciating pain, so running away was impossible. Qin Fang's words were more of a perfunctory warning.

Qin Fang then found a car key on Wei Suo and quickly left the hotel... (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
