The first update,

...

While Tang Feifei was teasing the young man surnamed Wang, Qin Fang greeted Qiao Zhenfei with a smile and the two shared an exceptionally warm embrace, clearly indicating that their relationship was anything but ordinary.

"Brother Fei, long time no see...."

After letting go of Qiao Zhenfei, Qin Fang said with a beaming smile.

In fact, they hadn't been apart for very long, just over half a month, but this reunion held a completely different meaning.

"Yeah, long time no see...."

Qiao Zhenfei also nodded, their last time together having been before Qin Fang had gone into the deep mountains to gather herbs. What should have been a sure thing turned out to be a massive unexpected incident.

When Li Yang brought back the news that Qin Fang had fallen off a cliff and died, Qiao Zhenfei was full of regret. He already owed Qin Fang a favor and to think before he could repay him, Qin Fang met with such a tragic and premature death—Qiao Zhenfei felt extremely remorseful....

It was because of this incident that Qiao Zhenfei stayed in Jincheng for a few days waiting for news, but ultimately no good news came, and he had no choice but to leave early and return to the Capital....

It was right after Qiao Zhenfei left that Qin Fang came out of the mountains; they missed each other, but news of Qin Fang's survival reached Qiao Zhenfei immediately.

At that time, Qiao Zhenfei had planned to return to Jincheng, but was persuaded by Qin Fang to stop, and Qin Fang informed him that he would be entering the Capital to celebrate a birthday in the next few days, leading to the scene of Qiao Zhenfei coming to pick him up.

"Feifei, come over... call him Brother Fei!"

The two men were not the fussing type. Qin Fang beckoned to Tang Feifei, who was behind him, and immediately introduced her to Qiao Zhenfei.

In fact, Tang Feifei and Qiao Zhenfei knew each other, but they had only met once or twice before and were not close. With both hailing from massive political families, interactions among the younger generations were not so casual....

Elder Qiao held the highest prestige among the older generation of leaders. Elder Tang was slightly weaker, and with some minor political conflicts, the Tangs and the Qiaos were not considered allies. Therefore, the relationship between Tang Cheng and Qiao Zhenfei was just average, something Qin Fang had known from the start. He remembered when he first heard about Qiao Zhenfei, it was Ning Weiqiang who introduced him, and Ning Weiqiang had even had a bit of a dirty encounter with Qiao Zhenfei....

However, these political matters were not something an outsider like him could clearly understand. The association between Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei could be said to be accidental, and it was exactly Qin Fang's ambiguous status that brought uncertain opportunities to both the Tangs and the Qiaos. Before entering the Capital, Tang Cheng had given Qin Fang some simple guidance.

Qin Fang didn't quite understand all the details, but he got Tang Cheng's point, which was that Qin Fang could continue to associate with Qiao Zhenfei—at least the Tang family did not object....

"Brother Fei...."

Tang Feifei obediently called out to Qiao Zhenfei, her hands gently resting on Qin Fang's arm, looking especially gentle and sweet.

"Heh, Miss Tang, calling you little sister isn't a problem, right?"

Qiao Zhenfei glanced at Qin Fang with some surprise, obviously a bit puzzled by Qin Fang's intent, but knowing the relationship between Qin Fang and Tang Feifei, he immediately said with a chuckle.

Interactions among the younger generation were usually quite cautious, much like the relationship between Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei—they were quite close, but Qin Fang never involved his uncle Tang Cheng, and Qiao Zhenfei seldom introduced his own acquaintances to Qin Fang....

So far, there were only two people, Zhang Yuliang and Li Yang.

Zhang Yuliang was someone Qin Fang had encountered by chance and even almost got into a fight with, and it happened that he was with Qiao Zhenfei at the time.

Li Yang's involvement was also due to certain reasons. Knowing that Qin Fang possessed a formidable acupuncture secret technique, Qiao Zhenfei wanted to attempt it as a last resort....

This time, by proactively bringing Tang Feifei over to introduce her, it seemed as though Qin Fang was sending a signal. Qiao Zhenfei was startled for a moment but then quickly showed a friendly understanding.

Tang Feifei blushed, but she did not argue, seeming to accept the new title....

"Your friend?"

This clearly wasn't the place to talk. Staying here looked odd, so Qiao Zhenfei was ready to invite Qin Fang and the others to leave in his car when he noticed a young man nearby staring over with a peculiar expression on his face. Qiao Zhenfei casually asked.

Naturally, it was the young man with the surname Wang, who had boasted to Tang Feifei for hours on the plane. He recognized Qiao Zhenfei, having seen him from afar once, but that was all.

But ever since that encounter, he started to act all high and mighty, always bragging to others about being Qiao Sanshao's Iron Grip. The more he bragged, the more convincing he sounded, and over time, even he himself started to believe his own tall tales.

What he hadn't anticipated, however, was that today he might have blown his own trumpet a bit too loud. By sheer accident, he encountered the real deal, and the person he boasted about seemed to have quite a good relationship with the VIP. Almost immediately, he wanted to slip away, but for some reason, his legs seemed to lack strength, leaving him standing there dumbfounded, watching the young man he had been ignoring embrace Qiao Sanshao with laughter and conversation...

And the beautiful woman he had been eyeing? Qiao Sanshao called her his sister-in-law, and it was clear that the unheeded Qin Fang was actually a good friend of Qiao Sanshao's…

Originally, it would have been best if these few people had just said their simple pleasantries and left, but unexpectedly, Qiao Sanshao suddenly noticed him and made a comment. He immediately froze, his face looking even uglier than if he were crying…

"A talkative friend I met on the plane..."

Qin Fang smiled. This Mr. Wang really was full of it, managing to talk for hours on end without even taking a sip of water. Although his intentions were a bit unfair to Qin Fang, seeing this man reminded him immediately of Wei Suo, his underling back in Ninghai... That guy was also of a similar sort, fundamentally unreliable, but his loyalty was beyond question, and his abilities were nothing short of astonishing.

As for this Mr. Wang, Qin Fang had casually cast a Scouting Skill on him earlier out of boredom to assess his personal abilities, and surprisingly, he turned out to be quite a talent...

"Then let's all go together..."

Qiao Zhenfei didn't seem to mind and nodded immediately. He turned and waved at some vehicles not too far away, and soon several cars drove over.

Qin Fang also turned his head to wave at Mr. Wang, gesturing for him to come over...

"Thir... Third Young Master..."

Mr. Wang spoke timidly, and now in his eyes, Qin Fang was no longer an inconsequential bystander but had transformed into a top-ranking young master with a mysterious identity. Even though they had shared the same flight to the Capital City, he didn't even know Qin's surname. He respectfully addressed Qiao Zhenfei and turned to look at Qin Fang, but was at a loss for words...

"My surname is Qin, and my girlfriend's is Tang..."

Qin Fang's face bore a playful smile, but seeing Mr. Wang's pained expression was quite entertaining. He simply introduced himself.

"Young Master Qin, Miss Tang..."

Mr. Wang addressed them with immense trepidation, his attitude extremely humble. He no longer dared to stare brazenly at Tang Feifei like he had on the plane, shrinking back as if highly apprehensive.

"It looks like you don't have much to carry, and since Third Young Master is here to pick us up, we'll give you a lift on the way..."

Qin Fang said cheerfully, and used Mind Reading Technique on a whim, instantly knowing what was on his mind. He patted Wang Hui's shoulder with a smile.

This young man named Wang Hui was also from Jiangnan Province, except he wasn't from Ninghai; he was from Kunnan City. His father was a well-off businessman in Kunnan, their family wealth quite substantial, with extensive connections in the local government circles, and also owned significant industries in Jiangzhou. This wealthy second-generation was quite a powerhouse...

Despite his penchant for laying it on thick, and drooling over pretty girls, in reality, he was all talk and no practice, with not the slightest bit of real-world ability...

Qin Fang's recent use of the Mind Reading Technique unexpectedly discovered that the guy was already twenty-four and was still a virgin, not having experienced a woman at all.

Such a hapless kid, with wealth and influence at his disposal, could easily spend lavishly and play with women of any kind he wanted. Yet mostly he just talked big, daring in thought but cowardly in action…

"I…I already called for a car..."

Qin Fang casually patted Wang Hui's shoulder to convey his goodwill, but this action filled Wang Hui with alarm, as if getting into Qin Fang's car would cost him his life. His face looked so miserable, as if he were about to burst into tears... yet he didn't dare to directly reject the offer, instead speaking in a roundabout way.

Qin Fang was nearly driven to laughter by his antics, having never taken Wang Hui's words on the plane seriously. Nevertheless, he didn't expect to have frightened him so badly.

"What are you afraid of? If I wanted to deal with you, I would have done so already, wouldn't have waited until now, right? You wanted to get to know Third Young Master, didn't you? Here's a good opportunity, and even when you brag to others in the future, you need to have some substance, right?"

Qin Fang teased with a chuckle, just as Qiao Zhenfei's car arrived: two black Mercedes, both with military plates, which allowed them to drive brazenly onto the airport's tarmac...

"I...I..."

Clearly moved by Qin Fang's words, Wang Hui was still somewhat worried and hesitated...

"Forget your qualms... Get in the car already! Or I really will deal with you..."

Qin Fang shook his head and gave Wang Hui a nudge with his foot, pushing him into the car, then he and Tang Feifei also got in, followed by Qiao Zhenfei. Once everyone was aboard, the car started up and headed out of the airport...
