Of course, Qin Fang couldn't possibly equip them with weapons, that would be just asking for trouble!

"The brothers have been itching for action, all cooped up lately..."

Shen Liang smiled, tried to make a gesture with his suspended arm, but winced in pain, "Oh right, last time Young Master Qin had me take back that Wei Suo, the guy's a damn genius. He's been following Brother Da and learning fast, almost mastered all of our tricks..."

"Oh, Wei Suo..."

Had Shen Liang not mentioned him, Qin Fang would have forgotten about that fellow, the Wretched Brother who covertly filmed him with Chu Yunxuan—an all-rounder lackey, good at almost everything.

"How is he now? Staying out of trouble...?"

Wei Suo was very capable and had a good heart; the only things that bothered Qin Fang were his personality and those particular... quirks.

"It'd be hard for him not to toe the line, any brother on the team could make him uncomfortable for half a month... But that kid's hobbies are a real headache! Thankfully, Young Master Qin's lackey, Mouse Qiang, had an idea, got him a woman to cater to him, and he's so contented he's forgotten all his worries..."

When Shen Liang talked about Wei Suo, his face took on a weird expression. Their conduct was relatively decent; even though they'd occasionally fool around with women, they weren't to the extent of Wei Suo!

"Can't let him get too comfortable, though. Does he think finding women comes free of charge? Liang bro, discuss with Brother Da and organize a team for action. I'll have Tiger coordinate from his side, he'll take the fall for us... Oh, and make Wei Suo sweat a little, he's good at setting people up!"

Qin Fang still had unfinished business in Jincheng, and the ingredients for the Heart Nourishing Pill had already been gathered, some by the warriors. The potency might be reduced, but Qin Fang was still keen to try if enough could be gathered to concoct the pill...

As for Ninghai, ever since his return, Qin Fang had made up his mind. If Li Rui was still harboring ill intentions, he was going to hit back hard, not giving him a major loss would be too easy a let-off for Qin Fang!

...

Almost immediately after Qin Fang gave the orders, Shen Liang relayed the message to Chen Da in Ninghai, and the faux one-armed hero got everyone moving urgently, pulling Wretched Brother Wei Suo straight out of bed, where he had been sleeping with the top beauty of Night Scenery of the Lotus Pond.

Having a good understanding of his subordinates' abilities, Chen Da quickly devised an action plan, and Wretched Brother Wei Suo played a significant role in it.

"Brother Da... Brother Da, are we really going to do this?"

Wei Suo was now well-acquainted with Chen Da's group and was especially close to Mouse Qiang, knowing full well about Mouse Qiang guarding Fang Feixue.

As a "pro" personally hired by Qin Fang, Wei Suo didn't want to let Qin down; acting on some initial information from Mouse Qiang, he quickly found an important lead.

The leader of the small gang that kept causing trouble in Fang Feixue was called Luo Hongjun, nicknamed Eighth Route, Eighth Elder, once one of Li Rui's top enforcers.

And the guy had plenty of vices: women, gambling, drugs—he dared to do it all and loved it... Bihai Pavilion was Li Rui's most lucrative venue, and lower-ranking members weren't allowed there, so they had to make do with slightly less classy places.

That night, Eighth Elder was organizing a sizeable gambling event at his Drunk Cat Bathing Center, featuring familiar business tycoons, a wealthy nouveaux riche, property compensators, and so on, with an entry threshold not to be trifled with – cash of a hundred thousand.

Of course, the more money the better, with some even carrying one million in cash.

Therefore, the capital for this gambling event was expected to exceed ten million, with twenty or thirty million also being a possibility...

The target for Chen Da and his crew was this very gambling event; the colossal amount of gambling capital was one thing, the event organized by Eighth Elder meant after the money was brought in, it had to be exchanged for chips, and his men were responsible for the security. If that money were robbed, Eighth Elder would have to cover all the chips in the hands of the participants...

But even though the Eighth Elder was the boss of this small gang, the real control still lay in Li Rui's hands. A significant portion of the gambling proceeds had to be turned over to Li Rui's side.

And the reason these gamblers trusted the Eighth Elder was because of Li Rui's face. They simply couldn't meet the entry requirements for the Bihai Pavilion casino, so they had no choice but to participate in this kind of gambling event.

If anything happened to this money, the Eighth Elder could indeed run away, putting on the act of absconding with the funds, but Li Rui's reputation would undoubtedly be severely tarnished.

The Eighth Elder's gambling event might be tricky to handle, but who could guarantee that the Bihai Pavilion casino wouldn't pull off the same trick?

In the end, Li Rui would have to reluctantly compensate for the gambling funds... and that was precisely the goal of Chen Da and his group!

Of course, if some gang dared to smash up Fang Feixue, their leader, the Eighth Elder, certainly wouldn't let it go easily. It might not be too harsh, but breaking an arm or a leg was the very least... As for whether it would be a crushing injury, that would depend on whether Chen Da and the others were in a good mood!

...

That night, at the Drunk Cat Bathing Center.

The lights were bright, and the parking lot was already packed with various vehicles.

Anyone who could bring out a hundred thousand in cash for gambling was no pauper; having a car was pretty common.

The first floor housed the bathing center, where one could bathe, sauna, massage... all legitimate business operations.

The second floor featured private rooms, providing some very special services. Pretty girls were everywhere and generally took the initiative to drum up business.

This place was a cut above the roadside hair wash parlors but fell short of upscale nightclubs, and the quality of the girls was generally not high.

The third floor was the venue for this gambling event. The strict check started right at the staircase; those who were not regulars or introduced by regulars were not allowed in, and those who didn't bring enough money were also turned away.

It was evident that the Eighth Elder had taken the security here quite seriously; a few people were arranged to watch in the lobby on the first floor, and the second floor was under constant surveillance as well.

Especially at the stairway from the second floor to the third, it was heavily guarded. Seven or eight people blocked the way to conduct checks, and another seven men sat in the lounge upstairs resting. Combined with those patrolling the third floor, there were more than thirty people in total, almost a fifth of the Eighth Elder's forces gathered here.

Unfortunately, for Chen Da and his team, all this was useless. They went directly up to the third floor along the drainpipe from the rear of the bathing center.

Wei Suo's covert surveillance equipment played a significant role. He had installed cameras at many key points, monitoring everything in real-time, providing accurate news, and transmitting the footage to Qin Fang far away in Jincheng.

"Nobody move! This is a robbery!"

Chen Da and the others all wore masks and carried long watermelon knives, with two of them each holding a shotgun, which were borrowed from Tiger and were purely for intimidation; they generally wouldn't really shoot.

Of course, even if they really did shoot, it would only be to wound, not to kill... They had all been professional special forces soldiers, and they had a precise control over this aspect.

"Fucking hell... who are you guys? Don't you know this is my territory... Agh!"

The Eighth Elder was participating in the gambling event he hosted, but he never imagined being robbed on his own turf, and he immediately started cursing.

Unfortunately for him, Qin's men had already seen photos of the Eighth Elder. As soon as the man started shouting, one of them quickly stepped forward. The blade of his knife swung down instantly, and the Eighth Elder's arm, which had been pointing forward, started gushing blood...(The story continues.
