"Junior Martial Brother Qin, gratitude is too deep for words..."

At this moment, Wu Ming truly could not describe his emotions with just the word "excited," and even as he uttered these words, he swiftly realized they were somewhat inappropriate.

Qin Fang's kindness towards the Wu family was not limited to this single incident. Not long before, he had used his miraculous skills to pull back the spiritual pillar of the Wu family who had almost crossed into The Gates of Hell.

Now, he had even slain the Wu family's enemy and selflessly returned the Wu family's treasured possession. This debt of gratitude was indeed tremendously heavy.

"Brother Wu's words are too humbling for me..."

Qin Fang gave a helpless wry smile. Although he intended to owe the Wu family a favor, when Wu Ming expressed his heartfelt thanks, Qin still felt somewhat embarrassed.

"That man... I wanted to keep him alive, but I didn't expect..."

There were some things Qin Fang found inappropriate to say outright, so he switched topics and pointed to Chen Liang, whom the police were examining.

This was actually true. While Chen Liang was bound to die by Qin Fang's hand, the timing of his death was still a question. But it seemed that Chen Liang was prepared once he learned of Qin Fang's associations with the Wu family, or perhaps taking an assassin's resolve into account, he had held poison in his mouth, ready to swallow it once he lost the ability to resist, resolutely denying his adversary any chance to capture him.

Even when Qin Fang realized this, it was already too late. He was not so generous as to waste a Detoxification Pill on someone like Chen Liang, who was already destined to die.

"We don't need to discuss this..."

Wu Ming seemed to understand Qin Fang's intention and waved his hand, stopping Qin from continuing.

Although Wu Ming was not yet clear about Chen Liang's identity, now that Chen Qingsong's spirit tablet and the Wu family's heirloom, the Feng Yuan Pei, were here, other matters could temporarily be set aside.

"Don't worry, I will handle the police issue so it won't involve you!"

Despite the excitement, Wu Ming was a man who took care of big issues and did not allow his emotions to cloud his judgment of the situation.

Chen Liang had been killed by Qin Fang. Even though Qin Fang held a task force member's identity, killing someone was still a major problem if someone decided to take the matter seriously.

Even though Qin Fang was unconcerned about it, having the identity of a National Security agent with a 'strike-first, report-later' privilege, he preferred not to abuse this power without necessity.

His status as Tang Cheng's prospective brother-in-law and close friend had been fully explained by Tang Cheng, who advised that to avoid involvement with National Security affairs, he should use his identity and powers as little as possible; otherwise, it could become troublesome, perhaps even compelling him to execute some special tasks.

"Thanks for the trouble, Brother Wu!"

Qin Fang nodded. Since Wu Ming had already stated his position, there was no need for Qin to insist further.

In the Jiujang area, the Wu family was the local serpent, wielding considerable power and prestige in both the underworld and legitimate circles. Chen Liang's death wasn't minor but wasn't too significant either, and Qin Fang was merely a passerby with no conflicts with the local forces. Chen Liang was a man without ties, with no one willing to avenge him.

Furthermore, with Chen Liang's death and no relatives to claim his assets, all his property, including a valuable villa and some bank savings, would be confiscated by the state, substantially benefiting the public coffers, and naturally, no one would pursue the matter.

...

With Wu Ming handling these minor issues, Qin Fang was naturally happy to extricate himself. By killing Chen Liang, he had gained a substantial amount of experience, officially advancing to Level 4. This was Qin Fang's greatest gain, with everything else being an added bonus.

Looking around and seeing no familiar faces, except for Luo Xi standing idly by, currently giving him a strange look, Qin Fang hesitated for a moment but still walked over to her.

"Shouldn't you explain something to me?"

Luo Xi's displeasure was crystal clear, and she seemed somewhat nervous as she saw Qin Fang approach. However, upon confirming that Qin Fang was unharmed, she regained her composure and put on a stern face, indicating her discomfort.

"Explain? Explain what?"

Qin Fang played dumb, after all, he and Luo Xi were only friends who had had a momentary, intimate connection, not ones with complete trust, so naturally, he wasn't about to say much.

"You..."

Luo Xi was immediately infuriated, unable to believe that Qin Fang was still being stubborn at this time, "Didn't you say you were going to take a beauty to a hotel tonight? How come you ended up here with a man...eh, so this is your preference? That's disgusting!"

"..."

Qin Fang's eyes immediately stiffened, and without a doubt, the sarcastic joke from this violent female police officer made his skin crawl.

"Whether or not there's an issue with my sexual orientation, I think you should be very clear on that..."

But Qin Fang was not that easy to deal with, and immediately looked Luo Xi up and down with a lewd gaze, lingering longest when his eyes fell on her pert chest, his mouth curving into a somewhat playful smile.

"Err..."

This time it was Luo Xi who was at a loss for words, her moment of triumph short-lived as she was counterattacked by Qin Fang's remarks.

Qin Fang's preference for men was something she wouldn't comment on, but she was very clear about Qin Fang's need for women. Recalling what happened that night, if her father Luo Youheng hadn't suddenly appeared, Qin Fang might have already breached her last line of defense.

Even so, she had ended up revealing her entire upper body to Qin Fang, especially her snowy, slippery, and elastic breasts, which still bore bruises that hadn't completely faded, making Luo Xi involuntarily remember the events of that night every time she showered, causing even the bold and cheerful Luo Xi to feel embarrassed.

"He really is the murderer?"

Since she knew she was no match for Qin Fang in a war of words, Luo Xi, quite self-aware, quickly steered the conversation back to business.

"Correct, he confessed it himself! Moreover, I found the Feng Yuan Pei from the Wu Family on him, and in his villa, I found Chen Qingsong's shrine, but the most important evidence... this guy used the Wu Family's signature move, Tiger's Rush, and nearly took my life..."

Qin Fang didn't conceal these matters; what he said was true, except that the Feng Yuan Pei had appeared after Chen Liang's death, not found by searching Chen Liang, but Qin Fang's use of the word "found" was not incorrect.

"You sure he used Tiger's Rush?"

Luo Xi seemed skeptical, being a member of the Wu Family, she had heard quite a bit about this unique skill but had never witnessed it firsthand. This was mainly because the Wu Family required one to be a Level 6 Grandmaster to learn it, and with her ability, she estimated there wasn't much hope for her in this lifetime.

There were only three people in the Wu Family who truly knew Tiger's Rush—Old Master Wu had not fought anyone in many years and thus seldom used the move. Wu Ming and Wu Hai were the same, proud of their status, they rarely engaged in combat, so opportunities to use that move were also rare.

"Probably, it was a rather powerful move; let me demonstrate it for you..."

Qin Fang of course knew it was Tiger's Rush, but some things weren't to be spoken too clearly. Yet, with that thought, Qin Fang immediately signaled his willingness to demonstrate.

"Okay, okay, you show me..."

Luo Xi, upon hearing this, immediately became quite excited and encouraged Qin Fang.

"Here?"

However, Qin Fang looked around, appearing a bit doubtful, but when he saw Luo Youheng approaching from not too far away, he nodded at Luo Xi and said "Alright!"

Tiger's Rush was the essence of the Wu Family Tiger-shape Fist, and Qin Fang's Xingyi Fist also included some moves from Tiger Fist. Now, having learned Tiger's Rush, his skill was directly elevated to an intermediate level. Using this move in combat wouldn't be a problem, let alone just a demonstration.

It might just be a beginner's attempt, not so fluent as all.

But the less sleek it was, the more it suited his intentions—at least in the future when he used Tiger's Rush, members of the Wu Family wouldn't be overly surprised.

Chen Liang was dead; Chen Qingsong had died years before, and the ultimate skill of Tiger's Rush was known only by the Wu father and sons. If another individual with no ties to the Wu Family emerged knowing how to use Tiger's Rush, the Wu Family might suspect that Chen Liang was not actually the killer of Grand Elder Wu...

After all, with Chen Liang's death, there was no one left to testify.

Qin Fang wasn't ready to lose the goodwill he had yet to receive by spoiling the favor he had just managed to acquire, thereby gaining such an enemy.

This was why Qin Fang had the thought of demonstrating, to give the Wu Family members a preview, to leave an initial impression, so to speak.

That way, they would have some idea, and when Qin Fang used it in the future, it wouldn't raise too many concerns or lead to any trouble.

Qin Fang's demonstration was quite simple, just imitating Chen Liang's posture and going through the motions, the movements largely accurate. However, without understanding the essence and how to properly exert force, such a fist technique would be nothing more than a hollow display, incapable of unleashing its full power.
