As he spoke, Qin Fang even gently patted Qi Shao's shoulder, looking just like a good friend, and his tone was not as gloomy as Qi Shao's earlier remark. On the contrary, it sounded more like everyday small talk.

But for some reason, when Qi Shao heard Qin Fang's words, he felt an icy chill deep inside, causing an inexplicable sense of panic.

However, Qi Shao wasn't someone to be easily fooled. Using an old saying, "I wasn't born to be scared..."

"Hmph, we'll just wait and see..."

Despite the commotion and being teased by the two ladies, along with Qin Fang's provocation, almost all the guests in the restaurant had their eyes on Qi Shao. Thus, Qi Shao had no face to continue, especially since the two beauties didn't give him any respect.

After uttering a harsh threat, Qi Shao left angrily, returning to his own table. In no time, a loud slap was heard, and when everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw the previously flirty lady at Qi Shao's table now with five finger marks on her face, obviously just slapped by Qi Shao...

Instantly, more people looked at Qi Shao with unlimited disdain, especially the women, who scorned him as if he were a pile of dog shit. His handsome appearance was useless now!

"Tsk tsk, looks like you've got yourself in big trouble..."

The sound of the slap was, of course, heard by Qin Fang's group. Both Qin Fang and Ning Yumo shook their heads and remained silent, while Cai Qing smiled with schadenfreude at the situation.

Clearly, Qi Shao wasn't the kind of person with great magnanimity. Feeling embarrassed and having no place to vent, he hit his own girl. Such pettiness was really unbecoming.

In comparison, Qin Fang had offended Qi Shao pretty severely. Probably the parting threat was not entirely empty words...

The thing that delighted Cai Qing most was to see Qin Fang suffer, the more miserable, the better...

"Doesn't matter, if I get taken out, you can just marry Lei Peng!"

Qin Fang shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"You... consider yourself ruthless!"

Cai Qing was taken aback, as if Qin Fang had choked her. Her face turned red, but she eventually had no choice but to compromise.

Right now, Qin Fang was her only lifeline. If Qin Fang didn't accompany her to Lei Family, it would indeed be hard to find another suitable person for the task.

If they couldn't convince the Lei Family, the Cai Family would have a hard time calling off the marriage, and then she would have to marry Lei Peng, something that Cai Qing found even more unacceptable.

Now that Qin Fang had leverage over her, Cai Qing found it hard not to compromise...

"Hmph, once we deal with the Lei Family, I definitely won't let you off!"

But that didn't stop Cai Qing from secretly making up her mind, even though she was already finding it difficult to get the better of Qin Fang. Or to put it another way, she got no advantage when facing Qin Fang.

...

Back to Qi Shao.

"Qi Shao, this guy is too insolent. We absolutely can't let him get away with that. What do you say we do?"

"How about we find a few cops to arrest him, make him do time, and let those inmates have a go at his ass..."

With Qi Shao humiliated, his two lackeys naturally couldn't stand idly by and immediately came up with suggestions. These two guys were notoriously sly and could think up all sorts of malicious tricks.

"No good, this guy is so arrogant, he probably has some status..."

Despite Qi Shao's arrogance and presumptuousness, which had been nurtured by his background, he himself wasn't stupid. The lackey's idea was good for dealing with ordinary people, but might not be so smooth against some well-connected privileged young master.

"Then how about hiring some folks to corner him, take him to an alley, and beat him up badly? Break his arms and legs and see if he still puts on airs?"

The lackey put forward another idea, just as ruthless as the previous one.

"Hmm... that's a good idea!"

Qi Shao considered it briefly and immediately felt this was quite reliable. Having some guys block the way and beat someone up would also give him a chance to play the hero, and perhaps he could win over those two beauties.

While talking, he immediately took out his phone, called a friend he knew, briefly instructed him, and then hung up. He looked over at Qin Fang's group with a sinister smile.

Although Qin Fang and Qi Shao had only just met today, Qin Fang had seen plenty of such pretentious characters. The petty Qi Shao probably wouldn't give up so easily and was likely already devising a wicked plan.

But Qin Fang was not worried at all. The methods Qi Shao could think of were limited, either finding cops to arrest him or thugs to block him. Qin Fang wasn't particularly concerned about either.

Hiring cops to deal with Qin Fang was like running into the muzzle of a gun. Second Brother Tang Quan from the third generation of the Tang Family worked at Jingcheng City Bureau, apparently as some kind of squad leader, and his rank wasn't low. At the elder's birthday, Tang Quan had told Qin Fang that if he had any trouble in Capital City, to just mention his name, and the police definitely wouldn't dare to arrest him...

As for sending thugs to block Qin Fang, it was a futile effort no matter how many came; they were just delivering themselves into his hands. Qin Fang, once capable of facing one against a hundred, wouldn't care about a few petty thugs.

Since neither option was viable, there was nothing for Qin Fang to fear.

"It's getting late. Where do you live? I'll take you back..."

With the fuss Qi Shao had caused, none of the three were in the mood to eat anymore. Besides, there wasn't much to the Western meal, so they ended their dinner there. As a man, it was only natural for Qin Fang to take the two beauties home.

"We don't live far. Just out the door, walk 200 meters west, and we're there..."

During the meal, Ning Yumo was separated by Cai Qing, but once they finished eating, Ning Yumo naturally looped her arm through Qin Fang's and cheerfully said.

"Alright, I'll take you back..."

Qin Fang smiled. He had been in Capital City for a few days but hadn't had the chance to spend time alone with Ning Yumo. A stroll together sounded nice.

As for Cai Qing, the third wheel, he just ignored her!

So Qin Fang paid the bill and led Ning Yumo and Cai Qing out of the restaurant.

"Qi Shao, they're leaving..."

Just as Qin Fang and his group left, Qi Shao was already informed.

"No worries, Tiger's men have arrived. We'll just wait a little longer before we leave. I really want to see how this kid can slip through the palm of my hand. Hmph... Why the long face? Looking like you're going to a funeral... Believe it or not, I can have them take turns with you."

Qi Shao was in no hurry, speaking very calmly.

However, when he turned around, he saw his pretty companion's face stained with tears, the five finger marks still vivid, with half of her face swollen like a bun.

She could no longer pique Qi Shao's interest, in fact, he found her quite a buzzkill, so he cursed out loud and shouted, terrifying the beauty, who then covered her mouth with her small hands, her eyes reddening, but she dared not make a sound.

The winter in Capital City was rather chilly at night. Ning Yumo and Cai Qing's clothing was not very thick; while they felt comfortable in the restaurant, once outside, they immediately felt the cold.

Without hesitation, Qin Fang took off his jacket and wrapped it around Ning Yumo. As for Cai Qing, he didn't even spare her a glance…

"Hey, aren't you being quite ungentlemanly? I'm also a girl; don't I deserve some kind of gesture?"

Qin Fang's disregard immediately displeased Cai Qing, who started chastising him, acting as if it was a man's duty to act that way.

"Senior Sister, we're both martial artists. Neither the 'three fu' of summer nor the 'three nines' of winter scare us; what's a little temperature to us..." Qin Fang, not easily fooled, immediately retorted with a smiling face.

Cai Qing was at a loss for words, as Qin Fang said, martial artists must be diligent. Neither the coldness of winter nor the heat of summer should be a problem, so this bit of low temperature really wasn't much.

The chilly night breeze whistled, but the metropolitan lights of Capital City shone brightly, illuminating the roads with occasional passersby walking in twos and threes.

Qin Fang walked quietly down the street with Ning Yumo, their fingers interlocked, and although they didn't talk much, everything was understood without words.

Cai Qing followed behind, her face filled with jealousy and anger, cursing Qin Fang silently while not daring to make a sound, only furiously waving her fists.

Squeak~~ Screech!

Suddenly, a van rushed forward and screeched to a halt not far from where Qin Fang and the others were. More than ten people jumped out and swiftly surrounded Qin Fang and his companions.

"Hmm?"

Qin Fang was slightly taken aback. The group before him was undoubtedly thugs, but the one leading them was clearly no ordinary thug, boasting the strength of Level 5.

Ordinary thugs were mostly Level 1 civilians, with the slightly stronger ones reaching Level 2. A Level 3 was considered a skilled fighter, much more formidable than these common thugs.

The special forces soldiers under Tang Cheng were mostly only Level 3, and they had no problems handling three or five people, which spoke volumes of their capabilities.

But for a thug to reach Level 5 was almost impossible; even if a special forces soldier turned to the underworld, it was highly unlikely they would reach such a level.

The only possibility was that this man was a martial artist, and furthermore, an Inner Sect expert. At least in terms of level, he was one level higher than Qin Fang.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing such an expert, Qin Fang took the thugs seriously, immediately pulling Ning Yumo behind him and shouting fiercely.

"I am Elder Lei, Tiger. My apologies, brother, but you've offended the wrong person. I can't let you leave so easily today..."

The high-level thug that Qin Fang was most wary of stepped forward, and with unexpected bravado, spoke.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your recommendation, monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
