"Still haven't decided yet…"

But unexpectedly to Tang Feifei, Qin Fang spread his hands, looking utterly helpless, which was a stark contrast to the confidence he showed when talking to his mom, Qin Qing.

"Uh…"

Tang Feifei was also taken aback, looking at Qin Fang like that, really not knowing what to say. So, earlier he was just bluffing!

"I was about to discuss it with you. Mainly, the old lady's situation is a bit unusual, and I really can't make a decision right away…"

Fortunately, Qin Fang quickly added a sentence, voicing the difficulty in his heart.

Even Tang Feifei could see the issue clearly, so how could Qin Fang not understand? Perhaps even his mom, Qin Qing, was conflicted too. However, he didn't want Qin Qing to be too troubled, so he agreed readily.

"I think… maybe you could talk it over with your cousins or attend some auctions. You might be able to get some good stuff there!"

Tang Feifei thought for a moment. She didn't have any better ideas, so she could only make such a suggestion.

"Seems like that's the only option…"

Qin Fang thought about it. It seemed there was no other way, after all, this was Hong Kong Island, not Ninghai. It wasn't his own turf. It would still be reliable to find a few cousins from the Qu family.

Of course, he could forget about Qu Yuanliang. Qin Fang didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to see Qin Fang, so it was best for them not to meet. It meant nobody would be upset.

Qu Laosi, Qu Yuanrui, was the busiest among the Qu family's third generation, so it was basically impossible to see him. In the end, Qin Fang had no choice but to find the boss, Qu Yuancheng.

"You finally came back…"

Seeing Qin Fang return, Qu Yuancheng was very happy and immediately greeted him with a cheerful smile. Now, their relationship couldn't be any better.

"I was even thinking, if you didn't come back soon, I'd go catch you from the Mainland…"

Of course, that was just a joke from him.

Not to mention Qin Fang was simply not in the Mainland a few days ago but was in the chaotic Anlang Territory, so there was no way he could find him. Besides, he himself was a well-known lawyer in Hong Kong Island, with a lot of work, making it impossible to constantly accompany Qin Fang around.

But now that it was nearing the end of the year, he specifically handed over a few cases to his subordinates, planning to spend some focused leisure time with Qin Fang. As a result, Qin Fang suddenly took off for several days, leaving him lonely and quite upset.

"I was just out for a few days, did it have to be so dramatic?"

Qin Fang replied jokingly, feeling that Qu Yuancheng was exaggerating a bit, even though he too was just joking…

"Dramatic? I think it's more than that… it's all your fault! You insisted on telling Brother Kong Er that you would introduce him to a master, and look what happened, you ran off, and then the emasculated guy kept bothering me. My head was about to explode…"

But unexpectedly, Qin Fang's words seemingly aggravated Qu Yuancheng, who immediately started pouring out his grievances to Qin Fang.

"Uh… I actually forgot about this!"

Qin Fang was taken aback, then admitted a bit embarrassedly.

He really had forgotten about it, mainly because at the time, the situation with Tang Cheng was extremely urgent, and he dared not delay even for a minute.

It wasn't until he managed to rescue Tang Cheng and the others and wiped out the Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps that he could temporarily relax.

At this point, he originally should have returned home with Tang Cheng, but out of curiosity about sorcery, he couldn't resist staying in Anlang. Then Ruan Yingxiu's usurpation happened…

One thing after another kept coming up, keeping Qin Fang busy all the time, naturally causing him to overlook such minor issues.

Helping Brother Kong Er find a decent master was something Qin Fang had promised early on. Originally, he planned to go undercover himself. Later, he thought it might not even be necessary to hang out with Brother Kong Er, so he considered introducing Song Qingshan over.

Qin Fang already had an identity in the Underground World, and gaining another identity in the Black Fist Alliance was actually not very meaningful, except that it sometimes allowed one to complete tasks undercover.

Song Qingshan's strength had reached the master level late stage, which essentially made him invincible in the Black Fist Alliance's lower-level boxing competitions.

But that wasn't enough. If he could reach a relatively core level, it would be beneficial for Qin Fang, hence his plan.

Furthermore, Qin Fang had discussed this matter with Song Qingshan at that time, and Song Qingshan had no objections. Actually, he himself wished for such an opportunity, but he just never had the chance before. The Inland area is considered a relatively weak part of the underground world, plus he has always been engrossed in martial arts, leaving little time to deal with such matters.

But now, he has broken through to grandmaster level and has reached the late stage, his strength has definitely advanced by leaps and bounds. Yet, at the same time, the path to becoming a grandmaster is only just beginning.

Song Qingshan originally planned to come over right away, but before Qin Fang could arrange things, Qin Fang went to Anlang to execute a mission, which delayed matters, even making Qin Fang forget about it.

"Ah, let's not talk about that. If Brother Kong Er asks again, just tell him to come directly to me..."

Qin Fang waved his hand, indicating that he already had arrangements for this matter. When the time comes, he would directly connect with Kong Er, naturally not needing to worry about anything.

"Is there any decent auction happening in Hong Kong Island recently? The old lady's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to prepare a gift... but I have not a single clue right now!"

Setting aside this matter, Qin Fang stated his primary reason for seeking out Qu Yuancheng.

"Auction? Of course, there are..."

Qu Yuancheng responded almost without hesitation.

"Hong Kong Island's auctions are globally renowned, comparable to those in Paris, London, and New York... There's one auction happening tonight. Are you interested?"

This isn't Qu Yuancheng boasting like the saying of an old woman selling her own wares, but an indisputable fact. Hong Kong Island has many wealthy people and is one of the world's three major financial centers. Moreover, many of these wealthy individuals are very philanthropic, much better than those heartless businessmen in the Mainland.

As a result, auction houses on Hong Kong Island regularly invite these wealthy individuals to participate in charity auctions or organize several high-profile, large-scale auctions.

In such auctions, most of the items are antiques and paintings, along with jewelry and accessories, and sometimes even rarer and more unusual creations.

Especially some antiques and paintings, they are the main auction items, among which there are innumerable antiques that have flowed out from Dragon Country.

Dragon Country has a history of thousands of years, but the catastrophe a hundred years ago led to a vast amount of cultural essence being plundered by Western countries.

Now they appear in this manner, making one regret the loss while also feeling quite helpless.

Hong Kong Island has now returned, albeit under the one country, two systems policy. People on Hong Kong Island still don't have a strong sense of belonging to the Mainland, but no one denies the fact that they are Dragon Country people.

Regarding these treasures left by their ancestors, naturally, there's a hope that they can return to the hands of the descendants of the Dragon... Hence, these antiques often sell for sky-high prices.

Although the value of these treasures indeed deserves such a price tag, the problem is that the method of returning them is not a particularly comfortable thought.

It's like your own thing being robbed and stolen by bandits and thieves, then being sold back to you openly for money... It's evidently frustrating for anyone.

"Let's go and have a look then..."

But this was a fact destined a hundred years ago that Qin Fang couldn't change. He couldn't travel back a hundred years to eliminate those Eight-Nation Alliance troops.

Despite the frustration, Qin Fang thought it over and decided to go and have a look. Perhaps he might come across something he fancies.

He could be considered a master at finding overlooked treasures; he had only participated in one auction and one black market, yet found two remarkable treasures each time.

The 'Orchid Pavilion Preface' goes without mention, it has already become the Forbidden City's palace treasure, a national artifact. It had barely warmed in his hands before he handed it over.

But it was that instance of finding a treasure that made Qin Fang's relationship with Tang Cheng appear much closer, and Tang Cheng's appreciation for him instantly grew, effectively solving the first hurdle in his relationship with Tang Feifei.

That piece of calligraphy brought Qin Fang considerable gains, as not only was it an invaluable artifact, but Qin Fang also obtained the formula for the Heart Nourishing Pill from it...

Now, under Chu Yunxuan's management, this medicine has been developed, entered the clinical stage, and isn't far from hitting the market.

With its introduction, heart disease will no longer be an incurable ailment for humanity. The Heart Nourishing Pill is expected to bring tremendous benefits to countless cardiovascular patients, and also yield substantial profits for Qin Fang.

Obtaining overlooked treasures twice has brought Qin Fang a lot of advantages, so he is somewhat looking forward to attending this third auction.

Of course, the possibility of finding overlooked treasures at such international-level auctions isn't very high; he mainly hopes to find a suitable birthday gift or something he has an interest in!

"Then it's settled, I initially didn't feel like going, but since you want to go, I'll go together with you..."

Seeing Qin Fang express himself, Qu Yuancheng nodded in agreement. He didn't need to worry about things like auction invitations; a phone call would suffice, and the auction house would proactively deliver them to him.

After all, people like him, from a prestigious family and well-off, are exactly the kind of potential customers that auction houses aim to draw in and bond with, and they wouldn't treat them lightly.
