After Chen Yang left, one of Zhao Yinghu's subordinates came upstairs to report, "Lord Hu, Qin Wu is crippled!"

"Explain," Zhao Yinghu said, letting out a slight sigh of relief. As long as the man wasn't dead, there was still some room to maneuver.

"All of his ribs are broken and his spine is shattered! He'll probably spend the rest of his life in bed!"

HISS.

Zhao Yinghu drew in a sharp breath. He had seen it clearly: just one punch and one kick had utterly crippled the Fighting King of the Northern Desert!

So much for Qin Wu being vicious... heh...

Zhao Yinghu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "The Bald Eagle of the Northern Desert is the man behind Qin Wu. Now that Qin Wu has been crippled here in Lingjin City, I'm afraid that old bastard won't let this go!"

At this thought, Zhao Yinghu grew more troubled and even felt a sense of dread deep down. Finally, he could only let out a helpless sigh. "Our only hope now is that when the Bald Eagle comes knocking, Lord Chen won't just stand by and watch!"

...

After exiting the Red Romance Club, Chen Yang looked around but couldn't see Qin Mo anywhere.

Spotting a security camera on the sidewalk across from the main entrance, Chen Yang immediately dialed Yang Hu's number. "I need you to check the surveillance footage from the camera opposite the Red Romance Club right now. Look for a girl!"

Chen Yang then gave Yang Hu a detailed description of Qin Mo and the people she was with. According to Qin Qiu, Qin Mo should have been home by now, but no one was answering her phone. In a situation like this, her family was bound to be worried.

Soon, Yang Hu called back.

"Boss, I found them! After leaving the club, they got into a BMW X5 and headed toward the Lingjin City River. I've tracked them the whole way on surveillance, so I have their route locked down!"

"Also, by checking the vehicle's registration, I found a man named Li Hongming. He owns a bar by the river in Lingjin City, so they might be heading there! I'm sending you his phone number right now!"

Finally, Yang Hu asked, "Boss, do you need me to dispatch a team for support and surveillance?"

"No need. You go investigate this Li Hongming's background," Chen Yang said. He then slid into his van and headed toward the Lingjin City River while dialing Qin Qiu's number.

"What's happening?" As soon as the call connected, Qin Qiu's anxious voice came through, followed by Luo Sulan's mocking tirade. "Xiaoqiu, why are you calling Chen Yang? What can that good-for-nothing do? I've already asked Xiang Yang to look for her!"

Chen Yang was speechless. One day, when I finally stop holding back, I'll teach that old woman a lesson she'll never forget!

"Honey, don't worry," Chen Yang said. "I happened to run into her just a bit ago. I'm following the car she's in right now, and I'll have her home soon!"

Qin Qiu let out a huge sigh of relief. "Great! I'll wait for you at home!"

After hanging up, Chen Yang floored the accelerator, making the cumbersome van tear down the road with the ferocity of a sports car.

「Meanwhile.」

In a BMW X5 heading toward the Lingjin City River.

Fan Xiaoxian sat in the back, holding an incoherent Qin Mo in her arms. Qin Mo's face was flushed, her body was burning hot, and she was clearly delirious. "With Xiaomo's tolerance for alcohol, she shouldn't be this drunk," Fan Xiaoxian frowned. "What happened today?"

The young man driving and a girl in delinquent-style clothes in the passenger seat exchanged a knowing smile. They were close friends with Li Hongming and knew the drinks had been drugged. Tonight, Li Hongming planned to sleep with Qin Mo.

Li Hongming, also in the backseat, smiled. "It's probably from mixing drinks. It's fine, just let her sleep for a bit!"

"By the way, Xiaoxian, where do you live? I'll drop you off first!" Li Hongming's tone shifted, becoming firm and allowing no argument.

"Take Xiaomo home first! She lives at Book Mountain Court!"

Li Hongming smiled. "I said, we're dropping *you* off first!"

"I... I'm so hot! So hot!" Qin Mo cried out deliriously. Her body grew hotter, and her face was as red as two burning coals.

Fan Xiaoxian frowned. Being a few years older than Qin Mo, she was more experienced and worldly, and she quickly realized what was wrong.

She's been drugged?!

Fan Xiaoxian's head snapped up, her eyes meeting Li Hongming's sinister gaze. Her heart sank.

"Pull over. Xiaomo and I are getting out here," Fan Xiaoxian said, suppressing her rage.

"Hah!" Li Hongming lit a cigarette, took a drag, and sneered. "Fan Xiaoxian, are you planning to stick your nose where it doesn't belong?"

"You... You really did drug Xiaomo!" Fan Xiaoxian exclaimed furiously.

Li Hongming lowered the window, flicked his ash outside, and said nonchalantly, "You should know that I pursued her for half a year before her accident. I confessed my feelings to her yesterday, and she still rejected me! That means I have to use force!"

"You're despicable!" Fan Xiaoxian scolded. "While Xiaomo was bedridden at home, how come we never saw you visit her once?"

"Take a guess!" Now that the mask was off, Li Hongming made no effort to hide his intentions. He scoffed, "What's there to see in a vegetable? It's her body I'm after!"

"You... you..." Fan Xiaoxian trembled with anger, unable to form words. So he was finally showing his true colors, revealing the fangs he had hidden for so long.

"Stop the car right now! Or I'll call the police!" Fan Xiaoxian threatened, raising her phone.

SMACK!

Li Hongming slapped her across the face, snatched her phone, and threw it out the window.

Stunned by the slap, Fan Xiaoxian stared blankly, her hair a mess.

"Since you don't want to leave, you might as well stay!" Li Hongming's eyes roamed over Fan Xiaoxian's body. He laughed triumphantly.

The young man driving glanced enviously into the rearview mirror. "Mr. Li, I hear they're both virgins. You've really hit the jackpot!"

"Oh?" Li Hongming's eyes lit up. He turned to Fan Xiaoxian and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you a virgin?"

"You... Go to hell!"

SMACK!

Li Hongming backhanded her across the face again.

"Just you watch how I'm going to deal with you!" Li Hongming sneered.

Clutching her swollen face, Fan Xiaoxian begged hysterically, "Mr. Li, please, I'm begging you, let us go!"

Li Hongming scoffed. Why would he let go of a piece of meat that was already on his plate?

Soon, the car stopped in front of a lounge bar. The driver forcibly dragged Fan Xiaoxian out of the car, while Li Hongming supported Qin Mo and walked straight inside.

Less than two minutes later, Chen Yang arrived.

Holding his phone, Chen Yang sized up the nearby BMW. "I've found it!"

"Boss, this Li Hongming's family runs a security company," Yang Hu chuckled on the other end. "If things escalate, you could be surrounded!"

Chen Yang scoffed. "No matter how many men he has, could he possibly have more than me?"

"Right. I know what to do."

Trying to outnumber the Zhennan Prince, who commands an army of eight hundred thousand?
