"Why did he leave?"

Feeling her arm being pulled away, the beauty who had been clinging onto Qin Fang's arm and hoping to charm him was surprised to discover that Qin Fang had turned around and left without even a greeting.

"I just remembered something, I need to take care of it... Anyway, I've met the person, and next time I won't have trouble finding them!"

Qin Fang smiled and without the desire to stay, turned around and left.

Someone with Level 4 strength who had also mastered the essence of the Wu Family Tiger-shaped Fist, the Tiger's Rush, with the strongest Attack Power, and an assassin proficient in stealth and poisoning.

Such an opponent would undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with than an ordinary Level 5 expert.

Qin Fang already struggled against Level 4 experts, so facing one who was more terrifying than a Level 5 expert meant he had to carefully plot his strategy, or else any slip-up could put his life in danger.

Just the thought of his head being blown apart like a watermelon caused Qin Fang to shiver involuntarily, and to say he was not scared would be nonsense.

However, Qin Fang still had some doubts.

He had been told by his master, Cai Pingyuan, that Tiger's Rush was a secret technique of the Wu Family, requiring extremely high strength to cultivate, only worthy of Level 6 Grandmasters. Within the Wu Family, only Old Master Wu, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai knew it. As for Chen Qingsong, he had not been considered a member of the Wu Family for twenty years.

Yet this Chen Liang knew this move, despite having only Level 4 strength, which was contradictory.

"Could it be that the perpetrator is not Chen Liang, but... Chen Qingsong himself?"

Such a thought could not help but emerge in Qin Fang's heart, but he immediately dismissed this idea since Old Master Wu had clearly stated that the one who injured him was a young man under thirty using the Tiger's Rush.

If Chen Qingsong were still alive, he would be fifty years old by now, and Old Master Wu could not have misidentified him.

This Chen Liang could fit the description given by Old Master Wu, but there was a significant conflict in terms of strength.

"Could it be that Chen Liang has fellow disciples or brothers?"

Another idea popped into Qin Fang's mind. Chen Liang had a fellow disciple or brother who was stronger than him and was the one who used Tiger's Rush to injure Old Master Wu and kill the official's son and Xue Lu...

That seemed like a plausible explanation, but there were still many small details that didn't quite fit, such as why Chen Liang's fellow disciple would want to kill the official's son and Xue Lu.

To seek justice for Chen Liang?

That didn't make sense; Chen Liang liked Xue Lu, but since he could not win her over, it would be understandable if he killed her himself, but it was illogical for his fellow disciple to do it.

There was also the fact that Chen Liang had chosen Fenglin Hotel to meet Cao Zhenzhen when he knew in advance that Xue Lu and the official's son would be nearby for a car date. In reality, Cao Zhenzhen was aware that Chen Liang had been absent from the hotel for a while; the reason... they had run out of condoms in the hotel room, and he went out to buy more, which took about ten minutes or so.

All this information was obtained by Qin Fang using the Mind Reading Technique from Cao Zhenzhen, and it was this information that led Qin Fang to suspect Chen Liang, yet he did not expect to actually find something.

After leaving the travel school, Qin Fang directly took a taxi to Fenglin Hotel, intending to scope out the area a bit, although he already had some hunches, he now just needed to check on-site to confirm the accuracy of his guesses.

Fenglin Hotel was a three-star hotel at the foot of Lushan, not the best, but certainly not low-end either—it was an established name with an excellent location.

Qin Fang directly booked the same room that Chen Liang and Cao Zhenzhen had used before. The window faced the street and offered an excellent view. Standing by the window, Qin Fang could clearly see a crossroad, alongside many narrow lanes leading to quieter areas at the foot of Lushan, all of which had an appealing name—'Car Dating Haven'.

After observing, Qin Fang noted that from this room, he could clearly see every car entering and leaving the vicinity, meaning Chen Liang could have also seen the official's son and Xue Lu driving into the scene of the crime.

Then he had more than ten minutes, under the pretext of buying condoms, to step out. In such a time frame, it was certainly enough to complete the murder, dispose of the bodies, and return.

To confirm his guess, Qin Fang started timing as soon as he left the room and briskly walked towards the crime scene.

It was late at that time, and since Jiujiang is not a big city with few pedestrians at night, so he would have been fast. Qin Fang quickened his pace slightly and it took him a little over three minutes—less than four—to reach the crime scene.

Then... murder!

The official's son and Xue Lu were found making love on the hood of their Lamborghini, something the police had confirmed.

Chen Liang attacked from behind, shattering the official's son's head with one strike, and then snapping Xue Lu's neck with the second; the whole process took no more than half a minute.
