Many people were set to boycott Qin Fang this time, and the youngster immediately jumped out to make a fuss.

"However, you still need to be careful, Qin Fang. Now that the head of the Jingcheng City Bureau is from the Miao Family, if he wants to trouble you, it indeed might be easier..."

Qiao Zhenfei and the others were certainly not afraid of Miao San'er. In fact, they had beaten up this fool many times in the past, so their current disdain and contempt were expected.

"I don't mean that. I suspect the kid has been used by someone else..."

Lu Jun was always quite astute. If it were just Miao San'er, it wouldn't be too frightening. What really made people ponder was the possibility that he had been put in the front to act as a pawn, while the real string-puller at the back took advantage of the situation...

"Are you talking about Xu Ling?"

After some thought, Qiao Zhenfei felt it was very likely.

Even though it sounds like something a fool like Miao San'er would say, anyone with a bit of intelligence could easily instigate him, and this fool would be used as a pawn right away. This had happened many times before, and they were used to it.

Qiao Zhenfei and the others were well aware of the circles within Capital City. After a brief contemplation, they immediately thought of someone who was a very likely suspect.

"Xu Ling..."

Qin Fang was still very unfamiliar with the name, but judging from the reactions of the three, this person seemed quite complicated.

Xu Ling was a standout figure in the third generation of the Xu Family of Capital City, just twenty-three years old, already stepping into the political arena with impressive abilities and beginning to make a name for himself among his generation. The Xu Family even considered him a primary candidate for future leadership.

The Xu Family and the Tang Family had a very good relationship, with the elders having been comrades who had risked their lives together, even once supporting each other to crawl out of a pile of corpses during battle.

If the previous generation was like this, the relationship between the second generations was also friendly and close. The younger generation also grew up together in the same courtyard. Tang Cheng was quite a bit older than Xu Ling, but Xu Ling and Tang Feifei were not that far apart in age, so the two of them got along quite well.

With such a good relationship between the Tang and Xu families, even Old Master Xu had once jokingly told Old Master Tang that he hoped the most outstanding descendant of the Xu Family could marry the pearl of the Old Tang Family...

Of course, this joke was only known by the upper half; whether Old Master Tang agreed or not seemed to be unknown to most.

Even so, this matter was known by many in Capital City back then...

But unexpectedly, in the past half a year, things had taken a sudden turn. Tang Feifei and Qin Fang fell in love, and with the Tang Family's approval, this almost completely embarassed Xu Ling and it seemed he was biding his time in silence. However, everyone in the circle knew that Xu Ling was unlikely to let things go without a fight, which was the exact reason why Qiao Zhenfei went out of his way to warn Qin Fang as soon as he got off the plane.

Miao San'er got along well with Xu Ling; they had grown up together too. With Xu Ling's intellect, a few words could easily agitate Miao San'er's sensitive nerves and coax him into being the scapegoat...

Thinking about it now, the cunning individual behind the scenes was still this sinister fellow...

"Don't worry, brothers. Now that I'm here, I won't take any of these people seriously. If they want to compete with me... heh, I hope they won't disappoint me too much..."

Qin Fang was quite composed, as long as the other party didn't resort to hiring a hitman, he was confident in his ability to take care of himself.

Of course, if certain individuals were not savvy enough, Qin Fang wouldn't mind giving them a memorable lesson that would last a lifetime...

"It's always better to be careful. We can handle small matters for you, but once it touches upon political interests, even we must act with caution..."

Qiao Zhenfei offered his advice kindly.

Squabbles between young masters like them were common, often leading to conflicts and occasionally escalating into more serious disputes. However, if such conflicts were utilized by others, even their elders and families would be put in a passive position, so they tended to keep it to minor skirmishes. They wouldn't go too far...

"I understand, Brother Fei..."

Qin Fang nodded. He was now aware of these matters, and he knew that certain things should be avoided to prevent trouble for himself.

Although Qin Fang was a formidable force akin to a fierce dragon crossing the river, the Capital City was filled with hidden tigers and especially troublesome local serpents. If things got too intense, it could indeed become quite problematic...

He could comprehend the difficulties faced by Qiao Zhenfei and the others. Qin Fang had not planned to rely on the strength of Qiao Zhenfei to resolve the challenges before him; instead, he intended to take matters into his own hands.

Bang~~

Just at that moment, the door to the bar was suddenly kicked open, and a figure rushed in, displaying a look of sheer panic and urgency on their face.

"Something... something happened..."

This person was none other than Wang Hui, Qin Fang's lackey, who now sported a very distinct slap mark on his face, suggesting he had been hit by someone.

He was gasping for breath as if he had been bullied, immediately causing Qin Fang and the others to darken in expression.

"Don't... don't misunderstand... It's not me, it's Miss Miao..."

Seeing the change in the faces of Qin Fang and the others, Wang Hui instantly knew what was going on and abandoned any attempt to cover his swollen cheek, urgently explaining.

Hearing this, both Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei's expressions changed simultaneously.

Miss Miao was none other than Miao Yue, Qin Fang's lover. She had excused herself to avoid impropriety while they discussed business, claiming the need to use the restroom as a pretext.

However, this was the Chang'an Club, with its bar consisting of individual rooms that already had restrooms. There was no need for her to go outside; she had left simply to provide Qin Fang and his companions a quiet environment.

What they hadn't anticipated was that Miao Yue would run into trouble during the brief time of their conversation, which was essentially equivalent to a slap in their faces...

"Speak, what happened?"

Qin Fang immediately stood up, followed by Qiao Zhenfei, Lu Jun, and Ling Feng, as they began walking outside while listening to Wang Hui describe the entire sequence of events.

Miao Yue and Wang Hui had left the room and sat down in the outer lounge, awaiting the conclusion of Qin Fang's meeting.

Wang Hui now fully embraced his role as Qin Fang's lackey and was quite obsequious towards Miao Yue. As he went to fetch her a drink, someone set their sights on Miao Yue.

By the time Wang Hui returned, he saw several young masters he didn't recognize pestering Miao Yue. He saw this as a prime opportunity to ingratiate himself and immediately intervened...

Unfortunately, he was not the type to handle such situations with brute force. His intervention failed, and he wound up being slapped across the face to the point of seeing stars. By the time he regained a bit of clarity, he realized that Miao Yue had already been taken away by these people...

Knowing he was incapable of handling such a grave situation alone, Wang Hui swiftly went to notify Alai. Given Qin Fang's concern for Miao Yue, failing to protect her was one thing, but failing to report the incident in time would be disastrous for him...

It was precisely this reason that made him forget even the most basic manners, resulting in him bursting into the room without a second thought...

Wang Hui briefly recounted the incident, and under Qiao Zhenfei's questioning, he described some of the physical characteristics of the individuals involved to help identify them...

After all, those who could enter here were all top members of the club, and there were only so many people to consider...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
