Having greeted Monk Wukong, Qin Fang felt no need for further politeness, ridding himself of a psychological burden.
Of course, Qin Fang never really felt much of a burden to begin with; he simply didn't want his relationship with Monk Wukong to become too strained, especially since they currently maintained a relatively decent rapport.
After parting with Monk Wukong, Qin Fang immediately began to search for Shen Wuben's whereabouts.
Now, Li Rui must be at his wits' end, no longer in the mood to continue collaborating with Shen Wuben against Qin Fang, giving Qin Fang a relatively easier time.
Finding Shen Wuben wasn't particularly difficult. Qin Fang enlisted Tiger's help, and although his influence didn't extend to the downtown area, he was still capable of gathering intel. In just half an hour or so, news came in.
"Is this a tradition for all monks from Shaolin Temple?"
When Qin Fang learned of Shen Wuben's location, his expression was quite odd, and he couldn't help but murmur this thought.
Imperial Palace Nightclub. It was a somewhat reputable nightclub in Ninghai, though it fell short by quite a bit in class compared to Elite Salon and Bihai Pavilion. Despite the tacky name, the place wasn't cheap, and a visit could seriously dent an average person's wallet.
Shen Wuben was currently in a private room of Imperial Palace Nightclub, enjoying his time singing and drinking with four very beautiful ladies... He was living it up in carefree comfort.
Perhaps because life in the mountains was too harsh, as a powerful Grandmaster-level Expert cultivating the robust and vigorous techniques of Shaolin Temple, Shen Wuben had a lot of pent-up energy needing release. Given the opportunity, he certainly wouldn't let it pass.
Back in Yangcheng, Shen Wuben was already infamous for his fondness for the company of women, requiring several at a time to barely satisfy his desires.
The situation was no different in Ninghai; he needed several women at once to allow him a proper release, or else he would remain unfulfilled.
This was a minor matter to Li Rui, who didn't even have to make a move. A slight hint from Shen Wuben, and his subordinates would immediately make the arrangements for him.
However, the cooperation between Li Rui and Shen Wuben was nothing more than a mutual exploitation for their own needs, far from trust, but rather a shared goal.
Without this common goal, it was hard to say how their relationship would evolve. So Li Rui was unable to lodge Shen Wuben in his stronghold, the Bihai Pavilion, preferring instead the Imperial Palace Nightclub.
Although Shen Wuben was treated to the best of conditions and luxuries, he had nothing to complain about.
Meanwhile, turmoil reigned in Bihai Pavilion, with Li Rui desperately searching everywhere for the missing safebox, to no avail. He was utterly frustrated, his face permanently clouded, his tone increasingly harsh, his anger painstakingly repressed...
But to any observant person, it was clear that Li Rui was on the brink of an outburst, one that would be terribly violent if someone were to provoke it...
Even across the telephone, Shen Wuben could sense the suppressed rage in Li Rui's voice, prompting him to decisively hang up, unwilling to get involved.
Li Rui was wary of Shen Wuben, and Shen Wuben was equally cautious around Li Rui. The Imperial Palace Nightclub might have been within Li Rui's territory, but it wasn't directly under his control and was somewhat associated with Shaolin Temple instead.
Shen Wuben was able to wield Shaolin's influence to some extent—not for major issues, but he could sort out smaller troubles if needed.
Li Rui, as the underground boss of Ninghai with significant official influence from his "second generation" official parentage, was feeling stifled by this black and white intersection of his double identity indicating some serious troubles...
If Shen Wuben were to intervene, Li Rui would naturally take advantage and ask for his help, and then it would be difficult for Shen Wuben to refuse.
No one would do something for nothing, and Shen Wuben was no exception... so he hung up decisively, too lazy to even inquire further, embracing the philosophy of "less trouble, the better," and went back to his merry, carefree indulgences.
As for Li Rui's troubles—what do they have to do with me!
With Shen Wuben making no inquiries about Li Rui's issues and Li Rui not volunteering any information, their communication temporarily ceased.
But the one thing they had in common was the likelihood of them teaming up again the moment Qin Fang showed up.
Qin Fang saw right through this, which is why he restrained Li Rui first and then went after Shen Wuben, reducing his own pressure significantly.
Qin Fang did not go to Imperial Palace Nightclub alone; he brought Song Qingshan along as well, ensuring a fail-safe operation.
Shen Wuben's strength may not compare to Monk Wukong, who has successfully braved Wooden Men Lane, but when facing Qin Fang or Song Qingshan alone, he might not be much weaker.
If Qin Fang does not use heavy weaponry, he has no assurance of keeping Shen Wuben in place...
And once Shen Wuben escapes, it could become a significant issue for Qin Fang later on, which is why he also brought Song Qingshan along—not to kill the enemy, but just to block Shen Wuben's escape.
In the VIP room at the top floor of Imperial Palace Nightclub.
Four young and beautiful girls surrounded Shen Wuben, one sitting there with a microphone singing a song, one peeling grapes to feed Shen Wuben with her seductive little mouth...
Only Shen Wuben was enjoying the spicy feeding of the girls, his hands not idle—one had snuck under the hem of a girl's clothes, lifting her little bra, grasping a smooth and towering breast as he toyed with it; the other hand was fiddling at the small stream of another girl...
Though Shen Wuben had learned his skills at Shaolin Temple for many years, his handiwork here seemed quite excellent, teasing so easily that it made that girl blush, her delicate face now red and dripping with charm, her little mouth slightly open, seemingly emitting low and nearly inaudible moans, and her eyes were filled with endless heat...
The scene was one of extreme sexiness and heat!
Although they hadn't gotten to actual physical action, it was pretty close.
Bang~~
Just when Shen Wuben was about to do the deed with the tempting demoness on the spot, the door to the room was suddenly opened from the outside.
Without a single knock beforehand, someone just walked in so boldly.
This scene suddenly ruined Shen Wuben's good mood, and his face showed considerable dissatisfaction, even his eyes brimming with intent to kill.
Imperial Palace Nightclub has some connections with Shaolin Temple, and although it's not overt, the club's boss had long given instructions to treat Shen Wuben as a VIP, forbidding anyone to disobey his wishes.
Shen Wuben had no interest in mingling with ordinary people; he focused on playing with women, the VIP room in Ninghai was exclusively his, and he had made it clear that without his permission, no one was allowed to enter, not even the nightclub's boss.
But now someone had ignored his prohibition and barged in—and at the moment when Shen Wuben was about to take off his pants to have a good time, how could he not be angry?
Enraged, Shen Wuben with murderous eyes gently pushed away the girls beside him, preparing to deal with this ignorant fool, and immediately looked towards the two people who had walked in.
These two were none other than Qin Fang and Song Qingshan. While the VIP rooms on the top floor are often booked in advance and not accessible to ordinary people, it wasn't too difficult for Qin Fang, who easily made his way here, providing Shen Wuben with an unexpected surprise.
"It's you?"
When Shen Wuben recognized Qin Fang's face, he also showed a look of surprise, clearly not expecting Qin Fang to suddenly appear here.
"Indeed, it's me!"
Qin Fang appeared quite calm, speaking casually and then sitting down on the sofa not far from Shen Wuben, with Song Qingshan quietly standing behind him, resembling a bodyguard.
"I suppose there's no need for us to get acquainted again, although this is our first meeting..."
Having sat down, Qin Fang still sported the same expression, speaking indifferently.
"No need indeed..."
As a Grandmaster-level expert, Shen Wuben also had remarkable control over his own emotions, quickly regaining his composure, he gestured with his hand, sending all those ignorant girls away.
Shen Wuben certainly knew who Qin Fang was, having inquired in great detail.
Although he had always thought that Qin Fang had not returned to Ninghai—at least there was no news from Li Rui's end, now that Qin Fang was here, and had come directly to his door, it was clear that both were here for the same reason.
With men about to discuss serious matters, these girls were no longer needed and were sent away by him. The girls, sharp as they were, realized that they could not be a part of this and left quickly...
"I heard Mr. Shen came to Ninghai specifically for Qin. When Qin Fang first heard the news, he was quite flattered... It's just that there was an affair that called me away from Ninghai, so I couldn't meet with you. That's why as soon as I got back, I came looking for you..." (To be continued.
