"However, Storm Pear Blossom might bring some trouble..."
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game best. Song Qingshan soon pointed out another oversight by Qin Fang, which was the Storm Pear Blossom he had used.
Storm Pear Blossom is one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, almost a symbol of the Tang Sect. Shen Wuben recognized it and confirmed that Qin Fang was a disciple of the Tang Sect, which is why he backed down.
As for why Qin Fang has the surname Qin instead of Tang, this isn't something Shen Wuben needs to worry about, as disciples from hidden sects often use a new name when entering the world.
All members of the Tang Sect have the surname Tang. If Shen Wuben had heard Qin Fang use the surname Tang before this incident, perhaps he would have given it more thought.
Regardless, Qin Fang did not kill Shen Wuben, but Shen Wuben recognized the Storm Pear Blossom in Qin Fang's hand. Once people from the Tang Sect pursue him out of the mountains and encounter Shen Wuben, the fact that Qin Fang killed Tang Nan could easily be exposed... This naturally poses a significant hidden danger.
"That is indeed a problem..."
Even Qin Fang couldn't help but frown upon hearing Song Qingshan's words.
He's not the type of person who is stubborn and arrogant, unwilling to listen to others' opinions. Clearly, Song Qingshan's reminder is quite on point.
However, there is currently no solution to this problem, unless Qin Fang now decides to kill Shen Wuben; otherwise, there are no other more suitable methods.
Asking Shen Wuben to keep the secret?
That is obviously impossible.
Shen Wuben is like a little prince of betrayal. If he could be trusted, it would be more believable to trust that a sow can climb a tree.
If Shen Wuben finds out that Qin Fang is not a member of the Tang Sect, and he encounters someone from the Tang Sect, Qin Fang doesn't need to speculate; without a doubt, this little prince of betrayal would immediately betray him.
The Tang Sect is renowned for their excellence in poisons and hidden weapons. They are not only adept in crafting poisons but also skilled at detoxifying. Although the poison concocted by Qin Fang is potent, it may not be without a cure.
"Forget it, let's set it aside for now! Let's deal with the troops as they come and cover with earth when the water rises... Why worry about those things now!"
Qin Fang is relatively open-minded. Since there is no better way to handle this matter for now, he simply puts it aside.
Most of the Tang Sect members will likely ascend the mountain in pursuit, but they have not ventured out into the world in hundreds of years and are clueless about the outside world. To find the murderer who killed Tang Nan in the vast sea of people is like searching for a needle in the ocean.
By the time they find Ninghai and Qin Fang, he may already have reached the Grandmaster Level, or even a higher level.
Once stepping into the Grandmaster Level, Qin Fang can be invincible at his level, and the Tang Sect Twin Marvels—poisons and hidden weapons—would pose little threat to him.
Unless a Grandmaster-level Expert personally comes out of seclusion, Qin Fang is not the least bit afraid of the Tang Sect masters...
Moreover, if Qin Fang is pushed to the limit, he can simply send them to their doom with a bomb!
The issue with the little prince of betrayal, Shen Wuben, can be temporarily set aside now. Next, Qin Fang has to focus on dealing with another adversary.
Ever since the Bihai Pavilion lost that safe, the whole Ninghai seems to be on tenterhooks, with Li Rui's subordinates wandering around the streets, loitering...
These subordinates mostly don't stir up trouble, nor are they busy collecting protection fees or anything; instead, they are spreading out to gather information or scrutinizing every shop in the city area, not even sparing the banks...
But with thousands of these subordinates taking to the streets, many of whom have criminal records, the sudden surge of such numbers has put the police on edge.
If these people start causing trouble, it would be quite a significant issue.
Therefore, the Ninghai Police have also sprung into action, with uniformed officers often seen patrolling, especially in areas where petty criminals tend to congregate.
Although Ye Heng is no longer the chief of the city police, he has been promoted to secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. His successor as the chief is also his man, so he still maintains a strong grip on the police force.
However, with such an abrupt development, he is also in the dark. His investigations yielded nothing; Li Rui couldn't possibly leak such critical information himself.
He also inquired with Tiger, who is now a Tang Faction Official and has the support of the Tang Family, making them technically allies and therefore a trustworthy source of information—certainly more reliable than trying to cozy up to the cold-shouldered Li Rui.
But Tiger also knows nothing about it. He himself is puzzled and, to prevent conflict with Li Rui's men, has especially cautioned his subordinates to stay out of the city during this period to avoid large-scale clashes between the two sides...
Qin Fang's actions have been quite secretive, with very few people aware of them. Apart from himself, only Chen Da and a few others vaguely know something, but they are not perfectly clear on the details.
Qin Fang has explicitly instructed that this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Naturally, they would not speak of it, not even to Tiger's side, remaining completely silent about it.
The Ninghai Underground is a powder keg now, and Li Rui is sitting on top of this keg. The contents of that safe are the fuse. Once ignited, Li Rui might well be blown to pieces, meeting a grisly end without even a place to bury his corpse...
