"If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely go..."

Roddick also genuinely doesn't seem to have much to do with the word "swindler;" of course, it's precisely such people who make the most convincing swindlers, hardly ever giving themselves away.

"Let's not talk too much for now, everyone please take a seat..."

Seeing that Qin Fang and Roddick seemed to be getting along fairly well, not at the point of drawing swords and bows against each other, it somewhat relieved the parents of Police Flower Sister, who only now, after appraising Qin Fang, did Uncle Xing invite Qin Fang and the other to sit down.

Roddick went back to his original seat, with one empty next to him, which, under normal circumstances, was supposed to be occupied by Police Flower Sister, since it was, after all, a blind date.

But now with Qin Fang here, it would be inappropriate to sit like that, and Police Flower Sister, not wanting to put her parents in an awkward position, took Qin Fang to the other side and sat down close together.

"What kind of work does Xiao Qin do in the Inland?"

"And how did you get to know my Jingjing?"

But no sooner had they sat down, than the Xing Family Couple obviously wasn't going to let Qin Fang off easily.

Mainly, they found Qin Fang's appearance too sudden; there had never been any news before that their daughter was in love, and suddenly she brought a boyfriend home?

Especially since Uncle Xing had been a policeman for decades, had too many acquaintances in the police department, many of whom were Police Flower Sister's colleagues, oftentimes meeting together, yet never had he heard such news, making it hard not to be suspicious.

"I'm in business..."

Qin Fang said with a smile, although such an answer even surprised Police Flower Sister herself, as she remembered Qin Fang to presumably be a doctor.

"Business? What kind of business do you do? Dick is also in business, maybe you two could cooperate..."

Uncle Xing, with his sharp eyes, caught the hint of surprise in his daughter's eyes and seemed to understand something, then cheerfully continued to inquire.

Of course, at this moment, he also remembered to bring up Roddick, since after all, this was the future son-in-law they had in mind...

"Currently, I am mainly involved in the catering industry... I also own some shares in a research institute and dabble in some technology investments... I do have the intention to cooperate with Mr. Luo, even if Mr. Luo is involved in big businesses, he might not look down on my small ventures!"

Qin Fang, being an honest person, answered conventionally without giving away much.

Of course, what he said was the truth, even if someone were to investigate, it would prove to be factual...

But at this moment, Qin Fang did not forget to include Roddick the swindler, making it sound like he was praising this swindler brother, yet the swindler himself couldn't help but feel that Qin Fang was actually taking a dig at him.

"Catering, huh? That's not bad..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Uncle Xing, as a seasoned police officer, couldn't find any flaws and didn't pay much attention to the content, simply commenting, "Xiao Qin, are you visiting Hong Kong Island for tourism, visiting family, or for business?"

Generally, people from the Inland visiting Hong Kong Island are for these three possible reasons.

Qin Fang had already said that he hadn't been on Hong Kong Island for long, and even if he wanted to change his story now, there would be no chance.

"It's more like visiting family..."

Speaking of this, even Qin Fang could not help but show a change in complexion, slightly silent for a moment before continuing softly.

The purpose of his visit to Hong Kong Island this time was to slap the Qu Family in the face, and now, even before an official face-to-face meeting, the relationship had already become more explosive than expected.

But after all, Qin Fang's relation to the Qu Family cannot be severed, they are relatives... although Qin Fang and Qin Qing are reluctant to acknowledge this point now.

In this regard, saying he's visiting family is quite appropriate... even though Qin Fang may have spent most of his time like a tourist.

"Does Xiao Qin have any relatives in Hong Kong Island..."

However, the Xing Family Couple was clearly intent on digging deeper, persisting with their probing, as if they had to find some inconsistency.

"They are not particularly close relatives, ones we haven't contacted in over twenty years; we just happened to meet, so I came with my mother to visit..."

Qin Fang said with a smile, being deliberately vague.

Mainly, mentioning this particular relationship might be too shocking, as one of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong Island is well-known to the average resident, with many working in enterprises under those families.

The Xing Family, being a police family, is even more aware of these Ten Great Families, perhaps handling some related cases every year...

But as Qin Fang spoke like this, the face of Police Flower Sister by his side suddenly seemed a bit uncomfortable and unnatural.

She clearly remembered that when he went to arrest Qin Fang, Qin Fang's family was standing together with the Qu Family People, who were one of the Ten Great Families.

"Could it be that the relative he mentioned is... the Qu Family?"

Police Flower Sister also couldn't help but have this thought, and she suddenly became unnatural.

The Qu Family is one of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong. Being able to be a relative of the Qu Family and still being able to get in touch after twenty years is no simple feat.

Recalling the case of Qin Fang's illegal medical practice, a case that was nearly ironclad, even Qin Fang himself had not denied it, but before she could take Qin Fang back to the police station, a call came from above, and it was directly from her immediate superior, the police commissioner...

This seemed very meaningful... It was at this time that Police Flower Sister suddenly felt that she didn't understand this "fake" boyfriend beside her at all.

"Xiao Qin, how did you get to know my Jingjing? If I remember correctly, you haven't been on Hong Kong Island for long, right...?"

Uncle Xing naturally noticed the change in Police Flower Sister's expression, but he remained calm and composed, his tone very steady when he spoke. Perhaps due to decades of habit, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel that there was some interrogative meaning hidden in his words.

Not only did Qin Fang hear it, but Police Flower Sister heard it too. All she could do was helplessly give Qin Fang a bitter smile, signaling him to bear with it.

"Jingjing and I would call it love at first sight... However, our relationship has been tested. After all, we have been through life and death together!"

Knowing this hurdle wasn't easy to clear, but Qin Fang was not an easy to deal with either. With a thought, he immediately put on a happy smile and spoke.

"Been through life and death?"

This sentence made the Xing Family Couple both pause slightly in surprise, exchanging glances filled with amazement.

"Jingjing, what exactly happened?"

Especially Uncle Xing, his expression became much grimmer.

They only had one daughter, and although being a police officer inevitably came with its dangers, when it actually concerned their daughter, he was very worried.

"Dad, it was like this... Due to some misunderstandings, I arrested Qin Fang. On the way back to the police station, we ran into a gun battle..."

Police Flower Sister fiercely glared at Qin Fang, clearly unhappy with the explanation he gave, even though she herself knew it was the most reliable reason.

So she briefly recounted the events of the previous day, omitting some details and also taking the responsibility of killing six mercenaries onto herself and her colleagues.

"Someone hijacked a prisoner transport?"

Hearing this news, Uncle Xing was also full of shock.

Even though he had encountered such situations in his decades as a police officer, the security in Hong Kong had improved a lot over the years, and incidents of brazenly hijacking prisoner transports were extremely heinous in nature, making even this veteran policeman feel overwhelmed.

"Who was the person rescued?"

But as he recalled recent news and police alerts, he vaguely thought of a person and immediately asked, without even considering that the setting, the people around, and even his own identity were all inappropriate...

"It was Han Long..."

Police Flower Sister, looking at her father's anxious face, hesitated for a moment, but still mentioned the name.

"It's really him..."

Hearing this name, Uncle Xing's face changed drastically, becoming quite unnatural, his eyebrows deeply furrowed as if something very serious had happened.

Qin Fang, on the other hand, remained calm, having no idea who Han Long was, and apparently not within the ranks of some celebrities that he was aware of.

However, Qin Fang noticed that when the name Han Long was mentioned, Roddick—who had returned from Wall Street, USA—also had a flash of recognition in his eyes, as if he knew something.

"Han Long... Old Xing, is it that..."

It was Mother Xing who, after hearing the name, seemed to have some recollection as well, furrowing her brows in thought before tentatively attempting to ask her husband.

"It should be him..."

However, Uncle Xing didn't let her finish, cutting off Mother Xing's words abruptly.

But he then quickly realized that the people present were not police officers from the station, but seemed like two ordinary young citizens.

"I'm terribly sorry... It's just an old habit from decades of service. Even though I've retired, I still can't get rid of it... Where were we in our conversation just now? Ah, my memory isn't what it used to be as I've gotten older... Forget it, let's not talk about it! When you are old, even just sitting for a while can make one feel uncomfortable..."

Uncle Xing apologized to Qin Fang and Roddick with genuine remorse. He seemed to want to continue the previous conversation but appeared to have forgotten where they left off, and all of a sudden, it seemed as if he lost interest in continuing the talk.

However, anyone with discernment knew that Uncle Xing's abrupt end to the conversation was probably due to Han Long. As for the specific connection between the two, that was not something they could guess... and it seemed to have no substantial relation to them...(To be continued.
