Although the snow on the ground was still present, the heavy snow had stopped and was melting. The impact on Qin Fang and his group was somewhat minimal, and did not significantly hinder the progress of their vehicles.

The team expanded once again; the original two cars increased to three, with Yu Zheng and the young man following him also hitting the road in a separate vehicle.

The initial team of seven people had now grown to nine…

Except for Qin Fang and Wen Yan, the other members were not quite aware of Yu Zheng's real identity. Qin Fang kept silent about this, as some mysteries are better left undisclosed until necessary for a more effective revelation.

Although the heavy snow caused some obstruction, the snow on the highways had been mostly cleared. The vehicles wouldn't have any problems as long as they maintained their speed.

Qin Fang and his group slowly left the area, heading towards Ninghai.

As they traveled northward, the weather surprisingly improved, making the heavy snow seem almost non-existent. The closer they got to the boundaries of Ninghai, the better the weather became.

"Finally back..."

Seeing the sign marking Ninghai's boundary, a trace of relief could be seen on Qin Fang's face. Although he appeared calm during the trip, he was somewhat apprehensive inwardly.

The immense pressure of the Tang Sect loomed over Qin Fang's mind. Claiming not to worry was downright nonsense, but returning to Ninghai allowed Qin Fang much alleviation, for this was his territory. If the Tang Sect sought revenge, Qin Fang would not let them have an easy time…

Qin Fang returned to Ninghai low-key, without alerting anyone, even Tang Feifei and others were only notified through a phone call, with instructions to keep the news secret for the time being.

The base used earlier by Chen Da had already been scouted by Li Rui. Over the past few days, Li Rui's people had kept a close watch on it.

Chen Da and his group certainly could not have failed to notice this, so they had already dispersed and secretly moved to another base prepared by Qin Fang. The old base was still frequented merely to disguise their activities and could be abandoned at any time.

Tang Xin, Zhuoma, and Yingzi, these three women who had just emerged from the mountains, felt significant pressure from the vastly different outside world that added to their confusion and fear.

Qin Fang temporarily found a place for them to settle and specifically arranged for someone to teach them how to adapt to life outside.

"You want me to teach them?"

Xiao Qing looked at the three girls with an incredibly strange expression, obviously surprised by her boss Qin Fang's request.

"They've just come out from the mountains, they're too unfamiliar with the outside world, and since they are strangers here, you need to help them adapt to life here until they can be independent..."

The identities of Tang Xin and the other two women were not sorted out yet, and all being exceptionally beautiful, especially Zhuoma and Yingzi who were only sixteen or seventeen years old and quite naive, could easily be taken advantage if they went out alone.

Therefore, Qin Fang needed to find a trustworthy person to teach them the basics of living outside. Xiao Qing was considered an old servant of Fang Feixue, having been there since the opening of Fang Feixue's main store, and had performed her duties quite excellently over recent months.

Qin Fang originally planned to assign her to manage a branch, but since it was still under preparation and needed renovations, it required some time – a perfect arrangement for her to teach Tang Xin and the others, killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Fine, just exploit me then, you truly are a ruthless capitalist..."

Xiao Qing muttered resentfully but accepted the task anyhow.

Qin Fang treated her generously, with a satisfying salary and treatment. He was even preparing for her to manage a branch on her own, which she was very happy about.

Teaching the three girls basic living skills was far easier than dealing with customers daily in the store, allowing her to occasionally slack off while still earning a good salary, giving her no reason to be displeased.

Wen Yan also temporarily stayed with the three women here, with Qin Fang already having notified their school, planning to let her return to classes once he sorted everything out here.

As for the others, Qin Fang had made arrangements as well.

For instance, Song Qingshan went to the new base and remained hidden for now, not needing to show himself, and very few were aware of the relationship between him and Qin Fang.

Yu Zheng and the young man accompanying him moved into the presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel. Despite having lived in the countryside for many years, as a former Asian Gambling King, his wealth was immense. Even compared to Qin Fang, he was considerably wealthier.

The young man named Ye Ping was the son of a bodyguard who died protecting Yu Zheng during his heydays. Yu Zheng then raised Ye Ping by himself, and the two depended on each other for over ten years, making Ye Ping extremely loyal to Yu Zheng.

Although they weren't father and son, their relationship surpassed that of a father and son… It was even clearly written in Yu Zheng's will that if he were to pass away, all his property would belong to Ye Ping.

When he was a child, Yu Zheng hired someone to take care of Ye Ping, and now that Ye Ping has grown up, he personally takes care of Yu Zheng, always attentively.

Now that Yu Zheng has fully recovered, besides himself, Ye Ping was the happiest. Now when he sees Qin Fang, he no longer has a stern face and a threatening gaze; he wears a smile more often and even affectionately calls him Young Master Qin, showing a truly warm attitude.

Qin Fang secretly returned to Ninghai, not many people knew about it, only women closely related to him like Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue were aware, along with Chen Da and some other subordinates; even Tang Cheng and Ning Weiqiang were not in the know.

Ning Yumo was aware of this news, but she didn't tell Ning Weiqiang. Qin Fang sought her out for some business, which was about the identities of Tang Xin's three daughters.

Without an ID card, even flying is not possible. From Ninghai to the mountains in Yanggui Province spans thousands of kilometers, and driving would be a waste of time, which obviously seemed like a waste of time.

Moreover, without an ID card, many things would be considerably troublesome; even walking on the street might result in being checked by the police…

Dealing with the ID cards was entrusted to Ning Yumo, with whom Qin Fang was quite relieved, and then he himself, after everything was arranged, immediately started his counterattack plan.

…

Bihai Pavilion, the highest-class entertainment venue in Ninghai.

Although Elite Salon is the highest-tier club, it is not open to the public, and it is the sort where you can't enter even if you have money; one must possess a membership card gifted by the Elite Salon to enter.

Because of this, Bihai Pavilion, being the next-best venue to Elite Salon, naturally became an entertainment venue frequently visited by important figures in Ninghai.

It's fair to say, as long as you have money here, you're treated like royalty; whatever kind of service you require, as long as you can afford it, it can be arranged for you.

Be it women, high-stakes gambling, or even arms and drugs, anything you can think of, as long as you can afford it, you can get it here, and no one dares to cause trouble.

Whether it's the underworld or the legitimate world, although everyone knows that this place conceals filth and has a dark foundation, no one dares to provoke it lightly.

Because the behind-the-scenes owner of Bihai Pavilion is called Li Rui, a Young Master of the Ninghai Li Family and also the absolute ruler of the underground forces in Ninghai; only someone with a death wish would dare to challenge Li Rui.

Probably they might act tough at first, but the next moment, they would be knocked out with a club, stuffed into a sack, and thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish. This isn't Li Rui's first or second time doing such things; Qin Fang had even witnessed it once before...

Of course, it's not like no one ever comes to cause trouble at Bihai Pavilion, for instance, today, three people came for that very reason.

A luxurious Bentley drove into the parking lot of Bihai Pavilion, and immediately saw Ye Ping, sitting in the passenger seat, scurrying out of the car to open the door for Yu Zheng, dressed in a neatly tailored tuxedo...

Today's Yu Zheng was completely different from the first time Qin Fang met him, probably because his limbs had recovered, all of Yu Zheng's confidence had returned, and he seemed to have become the unbeatable Asian Gambling King of the gambling world once again...

Yu Zheng straightened his collar, and under Ye Ping's guidance, headed towards the grand entrance of Bihai Pavilion; the driver who stepped down from the driver's seat quickly followed.

This driver was also dressed in a black suit, his face covered with a pair of dark sunglasses, looking very stern and imposing.

Of course, this person was none other than Qin Fang, who had changed his face. It was inconvenient for him to confront Li Rui directly, and with a changed face, no one could recognize him, allowing him to freely accompany Yu Zheng, naturally for the purpose of ensuring Yu Zheng's safety.

"Honored guests, please come inside…"

The doorman at the entrance of Bihai Pavilion was also quite sharp-eyed; he had already spotted them the moment Qin Fang and the others entered the parking lot.

Not everyone could afford a Bentley, a car that is at the million-dollar level even for an ordinary model, and with Yu Zheng's not-so-ordinary appearance, along with Ye Ping and the imposing bodyguard, the doorman immediately greeted them with a bright smile.

"Hmm, this lad speaks well, reward…"

Yu Zheng slightly tilted his eyes, glancing at the doorman, seemingly quite satisfied with his attitude, immediately said to Ye Ping standing beside him.(To be continued.
