Almighty Genius

Chapter 308 Sharpening the Knife - Part 1


Third update,

...

At this point in the conversation, Qin Fang suddenly realized that he knew very little about his little girlfriend, Tang Feifei's family background.

Apart from knowing that her father was the secretary of the Ninghai Municipal Committee, her brother was the captain of the spearhead company of the Ninghai Military Region Special Forces Battalion, and knowing she had an uncle, Tang Yongming, who was a major general, Qin Fang didn't know anything about the identities of other members of the Tang family.

Perhaps due to the sensitivity of their status, Qin Fang never took the initiative to ask, and Tang Feifei never brought it up either.

But a remark by Old Fan suddenly gave Qin Fang a slight insight into the unassuming Tang family.

The head of the National Security Bureau was probably at the full ministerial level, Qin Fang guessed. To be able to control such a department, the rank could not be low.

Old Master Tang was already over eighty years old and had retired more than a decade ago, so the current incumbent must be from the second generation of the Tang family. Qin Fang knew that Tang Feifei's father, Tang Yongping, was the second eldest in the family, with Tang Yongming being the third; without a doubt, this director of the National Security Bureau should be the head of the Tang family...

"What does he mean by that?"

Qin Fang fell silent for a moment, then pointed upwards, asking with some confusion.

"That's exactly what it means. I don't know much more than this, you'll have to figure it out on your own..." Old Fan pointed to the ID on the table and said no more.

This time, Qin Fang fell completely silent, leaning quietly, deep in thought. The cigarette in his hand continued to burn, and he didn't even feel it scorching his fingers, leaving Old Fan staring at him in utter amazement.

The bedroom door opened, and Fan Ning walked out with the National Security beauty, both with smiles on their faces. However, Qin Fang noticed tear stains at the corners of Fan Ning's eyes; she had clearly been crying.

Yet her current smile wasn't feigned; it came from the heart, which puzzled Qin Fang.

Old Fan and his companions didn't linger, fully aware that Qin Fang didn't welcome them. They left immediately with their entourage, leaving the identification book behind for Qin Fang.

"What's the good news?"

Qin Fang hesitated but eventually pocketed the ID book. Nevertheless, the exact purpose of Tang Feifei's granduncle was unclear, but having such a "license to kill" in his possession was undoubtedly beneficial for him.

"It's getting late; we should hurry to the airport. I'll tell you about it on the way..."

Fan Ning just smiled, glanced at the time, and then quickly pulled Qin Fang out the door.

"Seems like I really need to buy a car..."

Fan Ning's Beetle had been found, but it was declared a total loss. Chen Weilian had been ruthless enough to drive the car into Qinglong Lake in Ninghai City District. Not only was it water-damaged, but the entire car was severely wrecked.

Right now, Qin Fang was driving an Audi borrowed from Li Dong. The news of Qin Fang's solitary escape from Bihai Pavilion had spread throughout Ninghai's privileged young master circle and even to the streets.

Li Dong and Brother Hu had raised their thumbs in approval, calling Qin Fang to congratulate him, claiming that if Qin Fang ever entered the underworld, simply by raising his banner, legions of followers would cry and beg to join him.

Qin Fang, however, had no interest in that life; it was a life that skirted the edges of politics, where survival depended on support from above. Once you fall out of favor, countless people will kick you while you're down. No matter how impressive you might seem now, a single word from above could land you in prison or bury you six feet under.

"You've got some nerve, acting like you lack the money when you always end up borrowing cars..."

Fan Ning's retort came in the form of a rolled eye, accompanied by a laugh.

"Alright, for the sake of Miss Fan's comment, I'll get one soon..."

Qin Fang chuckled. It wasn't that he begrudged spending the money; he just hadn't found the time. But now, thinking about it, it did seem a bit too much, especially since he'd heard that car sex could be quite thrilling—something he had yet to experience.

At this thought, Qin Fang murmured something into Fan Ning's ear, and saw her cheeks flush a deep red, glaring at him with a fierce rolling of her eyes.

However, Fan Ning was a temptress, and as their car sped along the highway toward the airport, with few other vehicles around, she glanced around slyly before bending down to unzip Qin Fang's trousers, freeing that certain elongated object and teasing it before taking it into her luscious mouth...

Naturally, this was indescribably pleasurable, giving both Qin Fang and Fan Ning an exceptional thrill. Qin Fang managed to delay them for hours before finally driving into Ninghai Airport. By then, Qin Fang was exhilarated, while Fan Ning's face was flushed, occasionally massaging her cheeks and exchanging a "knowing" look with Qin Fang.

"Qin Fang, I can't bear to leave you..."

With a little time left before the flight, Fan Ning looked into Qin Fang's face, hugged him softly, and murmured. Although they had no official title, their feelings were undeniable.

"Be good, go have some fun and clear your mind! Everything will be resolved soon, and then you can come back..." In reality, Qin Fang also felt reluctant to part ways. Even though his acquaintance with Fan Ning began playfully, he had grown fond of this enchanting woman, even saving her at all costs.

But it was precisely because he cared so much that he needed to send her away for her safety.

"Qin Fang, do you remember when you just asked me if there was anything to celebrate?"

Fan Ning hugged Qin Fang and whispered in his ear.

Qin Fang was also startled; he did remember that, but the two of them had gotten carried away in the car just now and he had forgotten about it. Now that Fan Ning had brought it up, he remembered.

"My superior has already been dealt with by the National Security, I... I'm free now!"

Fan Ning finally said slowly, leaving Qin Fang instantly stunned.

Fan Ning's superior was handled by National Security?

Qin Fang didn't doubt the veracity of this at all; Old Fan had also said that if they really wanted to take down the organization, they could, but it was obvious that National Security was fishing for bigger fish.

However, Qin Fang also knew something else, that was, if this matter involved Hanhai Group and Chen Weilian, then it wouldn't be possible for Fan Ning to be truly free of danger.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang remembered Tang Cheng once warning him not to get in touch with Hanhai Group. Before, Qin Fang didn't know the truth, but now he realized that there was a problem with Hanhai Group, and since Tang Cheng was the nephew of the head of National Security, it wasn't strange for him to know some insider information.

But these things, Qin Fang definitely wouldn't tell Fan Ning. She had finally become happy because the issue was resolved, and he didn't want to ruin her good mood or add to her psychological burden.

"Really?"

Qin Fang feigned surprise as he asked.

"Of course it's true, Bai Lu told me…"

Fan Ning nodded, confirming with rare certainty.

"Bai Lu?"

However, Qin Fang was taken aback and unconsciously repeated the name, seeming to recall that he did not know any woman named Bai Lu.

"That's the beautiful National Security agent I spoke with! She's very pretty, you know? How about it? Do you want me to set you up..." Fan Ning immediately responded and even joked about it.

"Er... don't talk nonsense! Do I look like that kind of person?"

Qin Fang was taken aback and shook his head, thinking to himself what was with women these days, why couldn't they be normal.

Tang Feifei was a little jealous pot, Xiao Muxue dragged Miao Yue into a threesome with Qin Fang, and now even Fan Ning was the same, actually volunteering to hook him up with a beautiful woman...

As for Bai Lu, she indeed was quite pretty, but they had only met twice. The last time, in front of Bai Lu, he had given her colleague Zhao Kang a severe beating, and it had been a rough time, probably making Bai Lu afraid to even see Qin Fang now.

Meanwhile, the airport's broadcast was announcing boarding, and Fan Ning was about to embark on her trip to relax. Qin Fang watched as Fan Ning's silhouette gradually disappeared down the corridor.

"This is Bai Lu's number, if you want to ask her out, do it sooner rather than later…"

With Fan Ning's temporary departure, Qin Fang felt somewhat depressed, and just then such a text message came, actually from Fan Ning. Looking out at the plane through the window, a slight smile appeared on Qin Fang's face. Although he couldn't see clearly inside the plane, he could feel that there must be a pair of eyes watching him from there.

...

"Young Master Qin, are you really going to do this?"

Shen Liang looked at the young man in front of him, several years his junior, who had built up his fortune from scratch and whose assets were about to break a billion, somewhat puzzled by his decision to proceed this way.

"Brother Liang, you just handle finding the people, don't worry about the rest!"

Qin Fang didn't hesitate at all but said with certainty.

"Since you insist, I have no objections! I'll find them. They are former comrades-in-arms, absolutely reliable!"

Shen Liang nodded and agreed, then went to make the arrangements.

Qin Fang's plan was clear. In the coming days, he not only had to settle accounts with Chen Weilian but also had to be constantly on guard against Li Rui. The incident of Fan Ning's kidnapping had made a deep impression on him—he definitely needed people, and no matter how capable he was, he couldn't be in two places at once, so finding a few good hands like Shen Liang was essential.

Qin Fang had originally wanted to ask Tang Cheng for help, but after thinking it over, he decided not to. Li Rui and Tang Cheng had been at odds for many years; Tang Cheng knew a lot of people and many recognized Tang Cheng's troops. If Qin Fang was going to get help, he couldn't go for these familiar faces. Since Shen Liang also came from a special forces background, letting him find people from other military districts was just as good.

Right now, Qin Fang lacked not money but people, people who were truly trustworthy and usable! That was what he needed the most at the moment, and it was also his biggest weakness. (To be continued.
