The Drunken Cat Nightclub was smashed!

With many witnesses, the destruction unfolded. Ma Ye stood there woodenly, head bowed, not even bothering to watch the ruin of the nightclub.

From the moment Qin Fang proposed those three conditions, Ma Ye knew it was beyond salvage. What he wavered over was how Qin Fang would deal with him.

Would he poison him directly, like he did with Zhang Dao?

It seemed unlikely!

Would he disable his arms and legs, as he did with Eighth Elder?

That also seemed unnecessary. At least, Ma Ye never considered himself a significant figure in Qin Fang's eyes, not on the level to engage in such struggles.

Could it be that he would act as if nothing happened and just let me go?

As this thought arose, Ma Ye felt both astonished and surprised, for it was nearly impossible. Yet, the current situation seemed to be developing in that direction.

"What, not leaving yet?"

Almost when Ma Ye was in disarray, Qin Fang, observing the scene of Mouse Qiang leading the destruction of the club, turned his head in surprise and looked at Ma Ye, asking curiously.

"Without Young Master Qin's word, I wouldn't dare to leave..."

Ma Ye was indeed a character, quickly catching on and immediately responding with great respect.

To hear him speak, one might actually believe he was completely obedient to Qin Fang.

As for Qin Fang, he just smiled faintly upon hearing this, not treating it as anything significant. This Ma Ye could be the strategist behind Eighth Elder, certainly no dimwit. Normally, such a person should not be so easily released.

But the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to swear loyalty easily. No one can be sure which of this man's words are true.

Qin Fang, though he possessed the Mind Reading Technique, couldn't possibly monitor Ma Ye's thoughts at all times. Besides, this man's mind was mature, unflappable, and resistant to the Mind Reading Technique. The success rate was too low. So far, Qin Fang had only succeeded once in using the technique on him.

It was this one success that convinced Qin Fang that taming such a person was almost impossible.

Moreover, Qin Fang needed someone to deliver a message to Li Rui.

"You have nothing more to do here; you can leave at any time, no one will stop you... Oh, and by the way, pass a message for me to him. Say Qin Fang is back!"

Qin Fang said casually. He had decided not to make it difficult for Ma Ye; killing was out of the question, but delivering a message was still doable.

As for those underlings, Qin Fang was not so gracious; he sent them all to Tiger, trusting that Tiger would appreciate such a gift.

"Young Master Qin, are you really just letting him go just like that?"

Mouse Qiang was surprised that Qin Fang would just let Ma Ye go. Ma Ye had some status on Li Rui's side, and capturing him might reveal some secrets unknown to them.

"Let him go..."

Qin Fang gave Mouse Qiang a sideways glance that sent a shudder through his body. He immediately ducked his head as Qin Fang's unquestionable voice reached his ears.

And so Ma Ye walked away, under his own astonished gaze, ultimately unblocked by anyone. Qin Fang didn't even spare him a glance, only continuing to watch the vandalism unfold.

Though he couldn't fathom why, this did not stop Ma Ye from leaving. Without any hesitation, he immediately drove to a place.

He wasn't concerned about Qin Fang sending someone to tail him, for there was no need; that place was known to very few, yet people like Qin Fang and Tang Cheng were well aware of it, for the resident there was none other than Li Rui.

...

"Young Master Qin, it's about time we left..."

The Drunken Cat Nightclub was trashed, leaving hardly anything intact. As for the building, of course, it wouldn't be destroyed; it wasn't Li Rui's property, merely rented.

Qin Fang was only smashing the club, not intending to wreck the structural integrity.

"Withdraw!"

Glancing at the time, Qin Fang noted more than twenty minutes had passed. He surmised that even if Li Rui hadn't met Ma Ye yet, he would know the situation here. If they delayed further, the enemy reinforcements might arrive.

He and Qin Shouxiong could make a show of force again, but under so many watchful eyes, he preferred not to escalate the situation.

With Qin Fang's permission, Mouse Qiang swiftly arranged for everyone to leave and to return to their base in groups and via different routes. That way, if Li Rui's men arrived, they wouldn't be caught off guard.

Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong were the last to leave, as there were still some matters Qin Fang needed to attend to, and he also didn't want Mouse Qiang to be aware, even though he was considered a confidant.

Everything went exceptionally smooth. Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong emerged from the wrecked Drunken Cat Nightclub with Mouse Qiang waiting outside for him.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, Qin Fang looked surprised as he glanced at the rooftop of a distant building, his pupils contracting slightly, and his expression momentarily stiffening.

However, he quickly recovered, and except for Qin Shouxiong, nobody noticed anything unusual.

Qin Shouxiong followed Qin Fang's gaze but didn't spot anything amiss. In the darkness of the night, human vision is limited, and even a master like him wasn't much better than an ordinary person.
