Second update,

...

Once the first person made a move, naturally, the second, third, and fourth followed quickly... This is the effect of leading by example; of course, it was also because of the principle that he who strikes first prevails.

The ones who acted first took advantage, and by the time their companions regained their senses, they were already low on strength, only able to withstand a few slaps before knocking out their opponents.

"You... you all... stop! Everyone, help me!... Bastards!"

This sudden turn of events also caused Chen Shijie's face to become extremely ugly; these people were all his subordinates, who always looked up to him as their leader.

But now, his words were no better than a fart; no one paid him any attention.

Chen Shijie might be impressive, but looking at his current situation, he didn't even have the tone to directly face Qin Fang, at most he could only roar at them a couple of times.

As the saying goes, a husband and wife are birds of the same forest who fly their separate ways when disaster strikes...

If even a husband and wife could do this, let alone those who were merely following Chen Shijie for self-interest, which boiled down to sucking up to Chen Shijie. But faced with such a plight, they were naturally keen on self-preservation first...

Slap slap slap~~

Therefore, in this private room, the sound of slaps was relentless.

The other party was a total of seven people, minus Chen Shijie, which made six, fitting into three pairs, which meant that as long as the first three people won their fights, they could leave here safely.

Chen Shijie was left hanging there. Seeing his own men starting to fight, if he continued to play innocent on his part, the result would definitely be very miserable. All it took was a look at Qin Fang's sinister face to understand this.

But with six people making up three pairs, he was the odd one out, wanting to intervene but unable to... His only hope was for someone to quickly defeat their opponent, so he could easily pick up the scraps.

"Oh, there's an extra one... then let me personally take care of you..."

Just as Chen Shijie was becoming extremely anxious, Qin Fang suddenly spoke up, instantly making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if all his blood had frozen in an instant.

Others were smacking each other in turns like a cycle of mutual slaps, but Qin Fang personally dealing with him wouldn't likely be the same.

Qin Fang smacking him was undoubtedly non-negotiable, but him thinking about smacking Qin Fang... If he really had the guts to do so, he wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.

And how strong was Qin Fang's strength?

Just look at the door still embedded in the wall to know; if he struck with a slap, not to mention being knocked unconscious, probably all his molars would be shattered.

Chen Shijie had no choice but to drop the act now, staring at the approaching Qin Fang, his face was as ugly as it could be, nearly bursting into tears...

Chen Shijie was truly panicking this time, as Qin Fang had clearly singled him out for a beating. Looking at the door embedded in the wall, his anxiety was unbearable, as if he was afraid that Qin Fang would pin him to the wall in the same fashion...

"That... that Qin Fang, we are family, family..."

Great, only now he remembered they were family. What had he been doing earlier? Whatever he said now was too late.

"Don't worry, cousin, we are family after all! I'm quite humane. I wouldn't turn this place into a bloody scene like they did, too uncivilized..."

Qin Fang spoke in an utterly calm tone, yet it was indescribably eerie.

Those subordinates who were slapping each other felt indescribably frustrated inside, not daring to show it on their faces, only able to howl in their hearts, "Goddamnit, we're bloody? We're uncivilized? It's all your doing..."

Qin Fang naturally didn't care about the thoughts of those subordinates, only to see him flip his wrist and several silver needles appeared between his fingers.

In the light, they shimmered with a silver brilliance, but the slender needles were enough to make one shudder involuntarily.

"What... what are you going to do..."

Although he knew Qin Fang was about to lay hands on him, seeing that he wielded not fists but several slim silver needles, his face couldn't help but show panic.

Qiao Zhenfei, standing behind Qin Fang, understood what those needles meant when he saw them, and after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.

"Third brother, what's the youngest planning to do?"

Ling Feng knew little about Qin Fang's affairs, as he was rarely in the country, so he hadn't heard about Qin Fang's acupuncture skills.

Lu Jun had heard about it once from Qiao Zhenfei but didn't take it too seriously. After all, acupuncture was for healing, he hadn't heard of it being used to harm someone. So when Ling Feng inquired, he too looked curiously at Qiao Zhenfei.

"The acupuncture performed by the youngest is somewhat different from the acupuncture we commonly see; it can turn a living person into a vegetative state…"

Qiao Zhenfei shrugged as he spoke.

Wasn't this the very thing that happened when he first met Qin Fang?

It was precisely because of this that Qiao Zhenfei had such a deep impression of Qin Fang, and after the incident in Southern Yue, he gradually became friends with Qin Fang.

"A vegetative state?"

Fear showed in both Lu Jun and Ling Feng's eyes.

If it was truly possible for someone healthy and normal to be turned into a vegetative state, then this Acupuncture Secret Technique was simply too awesome, an essential skill for home travel, murder, and silencing!

Of course, that's all they had heard, and they hadn't actually seen such a Divine Technique for themselves, hence they were somewhat expectant... As for Chen Shijie's life or death, that was not something they would concern themselves with.

Chen Shijie was a member of the Tang Family, and Qin Fang was considered half a Tang Family member. The conflict between the two of them was just an internal dispute of the Tang Family, just a tiff between two younger family members.

If Qin Fang had directly beaten him up, he would have inevitably needed a medical examination for injuries, especially those visible to the naked eye, which would be disadvantageous to Qin Fang during Elder Tang's birthday celebration.

But if he directly turned someone into a vegetative state and sent Chen Shijie straight to the hospital, he could just wait for things to cool down here and then revive him later, without taking a life...

Of course, this would achieve the intended intimidating effect.

For privileged young masters like them, who had been pampered and indulged in luxury and pleasures, suddenly facing a life as a vegetative state, lying in a hospital and surviving on drips, would be worse than death.

"You… you…"

Watching Qin Fang draw closer, Chen Shijie's eyes bulged. Suddenly, he remembered something Qin Fang had done before, something to do with the Silver Needle, right?

The moment he thought of this, Chen Shijie began to regret it...

He was very afraid of being beaten by Qin Fang; his tender skin hadn't been hit before. Yet, if Qin Fang really hit him, he had already thought of how to use the opportunity to completely ruin Qin Fang...

But Qin Fang didn't play by the rules, thinking of such a spiteful and venomous move, completely negating his plan.

Turning into a vegetative state, forget about speaking or moving, even his consciousness would be trapped in his mind, like a Living Corpse–then what was the point...

The key issue was that the act was done by Qin Fang, reportedly a very special technique that only Qin Fang himself could undo. If Qin Fang refused to help him, he might as well forget about ever leaving the hospital bed.

"Don't… let's talk…"

Chen Shijie cowered; he was truly scared this time. As Qin Fang took a step forward, he stepped back, his face a mask of extreme fear, nodding and bowing subserviently, terrorized to the core. His legs shook uncontrollably...

Unfortunately, though the private room was not small, with Qin Fang's pressing advance, Chen Shijie's area to dodge was quite limited. Blocked by the sofa, all Chen Shijie saw was a flash of silver hurtling towards him. Then, instinctively trying to dodge, he realized that his body...

...had seemingly lost all control, as if it were no longer his own, and remained motionless, even retaining a dodging posture…

"Don't, don't hurt me…"

Chen Shijie was truly afraid of dying. The sudden inability to move was an unbearable sensation, yet he could clearly feel every part of his body...

"I have said before, I am very humane, I absolutely won't leave any scars on you…"

At this moment, Qin Fang was like the wolf in granny's clothing luring Little Red Riding Hood, every smile on his face seeming so sinister and vicious to Chen Shijie.

"Eh... he really did it!"

Ling Feng also stood with his eyes wide and mouth agape in disbelief.

Although Qiao Zhenfei had already explained beforehand, he still somewhat disbelieved. As a mercenary who had been involved in numerous battlefields, he had encountered all kinds of enemies and dangers, but this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre scene...

Chen Shijie didn't see how Qin Fang made his move, but Ling Feng saw it very clearly. There was only one action, using the Silver Needle in his hand, and he achieved it with just one needle.

He certainly didn't believe Chen Shijie was a shill arranged by Qin Fang to perform this act. At least Chen Shijie had genuinely attempted to dodge, but that movement had frozen a third of the way through. His whole body remained as motionless as a robot without power, standing there, utterly still... without even the slightest tremor.

Ling Feng had seen many experts abroad, like those who perform living statues, dressing up as sculptures and standing motionless, almost passing for real statues.

But if you looked closely, you could still see the slight trembling of the body. After all, it's incredibly difficult for the human body to remain in the same position without moving…

However, Chen Shijie was truly motionless, with no hint of trembling at all...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to support me with your recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
