Chapter Update,

...

"Are you okay, Senior Sister?"

Looking at Cai Qing's face, Qin Fang had nothing much to say, but asked with concern.

"I'm fine, let's go back!"

Cai Qing's reaction caught Qin Fang somewhat off guard; usually, she would have responded sarcastically to such a question from Qin Fang, even resorting to biting retorts or a physical fight, but this time, she was clearly more shaken, showing a substantial drop in emotion. Even the tone of her voice underwent a significant change.

"Then let's go..."

Qin Fang sighed softly. Despite Cai Qing's strong and domineering personality, she was ultimately still a woman who, faced with such a bloody scene, also underwent a tremendous psychological test, revealing that inside, she was really a vulnerable young woman.

Seeing Cai Qing's slightly unsteady steps, Qin Fang hesitated, then took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, while reaching out an arm to support her—this girl who appeared strong on the outside but was actually fragile at heart.

Cai Qing's body paused, and she looked at Qin Fang with surprise, her eyes expressing incredulity, clearly unaccustomed to such a gesture from him.

"Be careful..."

Qin Fang actually felt a bit sheepish, but he could see that Cai Qing was even more vulnerable than he was at that moment and needed someone to support and comfort her. He had to step up, even though such a move could easily provoke her to counterattack.

In the end, Cai Qing did not lash out at Qin Fang. Instead, she just silently tightened the coat that Qin Fang had draped over her, seeking some extra warmth in the slightly chilly night. However, she did not shake off Qin Fang's arm but instead kept a small distance, as if not wanting to be too close.

Qin Fang's Audi was already parked in the precinct's yard, its front already washed clean of blood, almost leaving no trace that two horrifically mutilated corpses had once lain there...

"Let's take a taxi back..."

Qin Fang was acutely aware of Cai Qing's body trembling abnormally upon seeing the Audi, realizing then and there why he shouldn't take her towards the Audi but instead decided to exit by another path and hail a taxi back to the hotel.

"No need, I'm not that fragile..."

However, this time Cai Qing's steps froze, and she didn't follow Qin Fang, "You'll need to drive this car tomorrow, I don't want Grandpa to worry about us..."

Qin Fang was slightly surprised by this reason, which indeed sounded a bit melodramatic, but seeing that Cai Qing was serious, he immediately went to drive the car.

Barely holding herself together, Cai Qing stepped into the Audi and sat quietly in the back seat, her eyes closed, looking on either side but not daring to look straight ahead.

But this was already a good start. Qin Fang drove back to the hotel, continuously observing Cai Qing in secret to confirm that she showed no abnormal behavior, which finally put his mind at ease.

...

The night passed without incident.

As usual, Qin Fang got up early and his rest was not affected by returning late the previous night; he simply went out for a morning workout, and by the time he returned to the hotel, both Cai Pingyuan and Cai Qing were already awake.

Yet, while Cai Pingyuan looked spirited, Cai Qing seemed listless, especially her slightly darkened eye circles, clearly indicating an uneasy night's sleep.

For this, Qin Fang could only shake his head, not knowing what else to say, realizing that Cai Qing had been greatly upset and would likely be downcast for some time.

"Early morning exercise, not bad, not bad!"

Cai Pingyuan also had a habit of rising early for morning exercise, though he didn't get up as early as Qin Fang.

"A day's planning lies in the morning, Master..."

Qin Fang laughed, now also accustomed to this daily routine, except that today he missed sparring and breaking moves with Fang Dacheng. However, Qin Fang took the opportunity to practice his Fist Technique a few more times.

"Mmm, well said..."

Cai Pingyuan nodded, then sat down to have breakfast with Qin Fang and Cai Qing. "I already contacted the Wu Family last night. We'll leave at nine o'clock and head directly to the Wu Family's estate on Lushan..."

"Alright..."

Qin Fang nodded, seeing that Cai Pingyuan had everything arranged, which saved him the trouble.

The Wu Family held considerable status and influence in the region, with members present in politics, the business world, and even the Underworld, almost becoming the local overlords. However, the Wu Family Members were relatively low-profile, and with the Elder of the Wu Family consistently doing good deeds these years, their reputation remained positive.

According to Cai Pingyuan, the Wu Family's rise started very early, tracing back to the Qing Dynasty. The Ancestor of the Wu Family was originally a bandit, not born with the surname Wu. During an accidental robbery, he ended up saving an injured Xingyi Fist Grandmaster and cured the Grandmaster's serious injury. The Grandmaster, seeing his decent character and excellent talent, took him as a disciple and taught him the essence of Xingyi Fist as a way to repay the kindness.

Yet the Ancestor of the Wu Family felt that the Grandmaster had saved him and set him on the right path. Thus, he gave up his original surname and planned to adopt his master's surname, which was Wu. To avoid disrespect to the Grandmaster's Family, he slightly altered it to the current Wu surname.

Afterward, the Ancestor of the Wu Family passed down the Xingyi Fist, refining and honing it continuously. Coupled with several exceptionally talented descendants within the Family and Sect, the Fist Technique grew even more formidable, leading to the creation of the Wu Family Tiger-shaped Fist. Almost every two generations, the Wu Family would produce a Grandmaster Level expert.
