The LV5 Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique truly is not to be underestimated—it's just too fierce. Most people really couldn't withstand such a powerful attack.

And this was Qin Shouxiong's main force for attack, while on the defense he had top-notch techniques like the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover, also cultivated to LV5, just one step away from stepping into the Grandmaster Level at LV6.

With both attack and defense being so monstrous, Qin Fang's foundation was truly impressive.

The more it was so, the more Qin Fang wished Qin Shouxiong could always stay by his side; he didn't want him to leave... yet he also didn't want to see him lose all his past memories.

This truly was a paradoxical proposition!

"Sigh, let's just take it one step at a time; we'll deal with the future when it comes..."

Qin Fang was quite open-minded after all—he couldn't just decide Qin Shouxiong's life so arbitrarily, and he would help him recover his past memories.

"Master, while it's still dark and there are fewer people on the mountain, let's go up for a car ride. Let this cool uncle keep watch for us..."

As Qin Fang was lost in a myriad of thoughts, an incredibly speechless voice rang out beside him—who else could it be but Ding Chuchu, that sticky young girl!

"Stop spouting nonsense; we're heading back to Ninghai..."

Qin Fang immediately gave Ding Chuchu a smack on the head and glared at her fiercely before pulling open the car door and sitting down in the driver's seat.

Qin Shouxiong naturally moved to the back seat, while Ding Chuchu, with a sneaky smile, scurried to the other side and slipped into the passenger seat. She was sticking to Qin Fang like glue.

The trip to Maple Valley was nothing more than a spontaneous whim for Qin Fang; he didn't take it too seriously. However, offending Feng Nan, the wealthiest young master of Ninghai, meant that Qin Fang was bound to meet with some trouble.

Even though Feng Nan was quite wealthy, he didn't have many run-ins with Qin Fang, and the plan of Brother Junhao and the others to rally the locals of Maple Valley to block Qin Fang fell through immediately.

Why?

Those locals who were scared stiff by Qin Fang all returned home without a scratch. When it came to the matter of being beaten by Qin Fang, they all shook their heads, even denying that they had ever been involved in such an affair.

This made Brother Junhao furious, angrily accusing them of taking money without doing the job... As a result, the locals turned against him, banded together, and nearly beat Brother Junhao and his group half to death.

After returning from Maple Valley, Qin Fang began to prepare for dealing with the two formidable enemies, Song Gang and Cao Chun.

Qin Fang was in the open, while Chen Da and the others were in hiding, ready to strike in coordination with each other, just waiting for those two to show up...

However, there was another troublesome matter—Ding Chuchu, the pesky young girl. Qin Fang often visited Fang Feixue, which was his only industry out in the open, and Li Rui knew about it too. Though it was the biggest target, it was also the least likely to arouse suspicion.

Yet Ding Chuchu would run to Fang Feixue almost every day. As long as Qin Fang was there, she would inevitably cling to him, cooing and twisting around him, and her term of address had already changed from the original "Uncle" to "Master" now...

Of course, whether she truly meant "Master" or not wasn't important.

In ancient times, this was a very strict hierarchical relation, bound by strict codes of conduct, where even a slight deviation from propriety was unacceptable.

But nowadays, it's completely different— a "Master" is just a teacher, and while teacher-student relationships are not common in schools, they are no longer a big deal.

Just like Qin Fang—he himself is a staunch supporter of teacher-student romance. Aren't he and Fan Ning a teacher-student pair? They've already rolled into bed together.

If Ding Chuchu were just a bit older, Qin Fang wouldn't mind having a bit of intimate contact with such a beauty. Unfortunately, her age always made it a bit hard for Qin Fang to accept, even though he was only two or three years older than Ding Chuchu.

Perhaps it was because Ding Chuchu was too playful and rowdy, coming off as an un-grown child, which made Qin Fang feel that the already small age difference between them seemed to widen considerably.

Ding Chuchu was rowdy alright, but Qin Fang couldn't deal with her right away. Using the excuse that "to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach," Qin Fang directly assigned Ding Chuchu over to Wen Yi.

This little girl had always been the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, the kind whose fingers never touched spring water, let alone cooking... It would be easier to just hand her a gun and let her go into battle instead.

But the more she was like that, the more Qin Fang could keep this young lady busy so he could slip away in peace. As for Fang Feixue's business, it was still in recovery the last few days, and Wen Yi, the master chef, mainly served as a Seastead Divine Needle, not needing to take action personally all the time.

Qin Fang's other three apprentices were also continually improving. The huge cash bonuses he awarded them motivated them significantly. Although their upgrade speed couldn't compare with that of Qin Fang, they were quite fast, and it was believed that before long, they could achieve Intermediate Cooking and stand on their own.

Qin Fang had always been keeping an eye on all these matters, as they were related to the increase of his own Proficiency, so it was impossible for him not to pay attention.

Besides that, what made Qin Fang the happiest was the progress at the research institute. Lin Hai had already led his team to tackle the third set of lithium battery technologies and even hinted at a significant unexpected discovery. They were now fully dedicated to the research, preparing to give Qin Fang a huge surprise.

Although Qin Fang was curious about what kind of discovery it was, since Lin Hai said it would be a surprise, Qin Fang didn't probe further, which actually added to his anticipation.

As for the medical research laboratory, it was currently under the supervision of Chu Yunxuan, the woman Qin Fang trusted the most. However, building the laboratory was a bit time-consuming, as recruiting talent, purchasing experimental equipment, and even acquiring the site, all needed to be completed gradually...

But Chu Yunxuan had already made a promise that, at most within three months, the lab would definitely be set up. She was now getting in touch with her classmates from the United States, all experts in pharmacology, and their involvement would undoubtedly allow the creation of a very powerful research team.

Qin Fang was still concerned about data leaks, but there weren't any particularly good solutions at the moment, so he could only take things one step at a time...

Things were temporarily calm with the other women. Qin Fang's safe return pleased Tang Feifei, Xiao Muxue, and Wen Yan. They knew Qin Fang still had a lot to do, so they didn't come to disturb him. Qin Fang had already decided that after the current issue was settled, he would spend quality time with them...

"Young Master Qin, there are not many clues for now, just these... But we can basically confirm that these two people should be lurking somewhere around this place!"

Chen Da had also formulated a thorough capture and kill plan. In addition, with the forces under Tiger, as well as Ye Xiang's secret help, they were searching for the whereabouts of Song Gang and Cao Chun from both the black and white aspects.

These two individuals were quite bold and possibly too confident, to the point that Qin Fang and his team actually discovered their likely hiding spot.

The reason it was only 'likely' was that both individuals were extremely dangerous, with high alertness. The people gathering information didn't dare to approach easily, making it impossible to confirm their exact location.

"It's time I went out for some action..."

Originally, this kind of investigation was meaningless as both targets were extremely dangerous. Even if Qin Fang, leading Chen Da and their men, knew the location, a direct assault might not necessarily be effective.

Song Gang might be easier to deal with; at least if it came to gunfire, wearing bulletproof vests would offer some protection. But the truly terrifying one was Cao Chun...

He was a bomb madman. Qin Fang could almost be sure that wherever they lived was definitely filled with bombs. A careless move could directly send them flying in an explosion.

Against such a terrifying opponent, even the military would have to be extra cautious...

But Qin Fang wasn't a soldier. Although he had some strength at his disposal, Qin Fang didn't want unnecessary casualties among his men. What he intended to do now was to scout out the enemy's situation first.

Making use of the night, Qin Fang employed the Metamorphosis technique to change his face and dressed in all black. This made him less conspicuous in the darkness.

Items like his phone were directly stored in the Props Box, leaving him seemingly empty-handed, at least less likely to arise suspicion if encountered by others.

The place Qin Fang was heading to tonight was known as Jinhu Villas, a high-end residential area in Ninghai. The entire community was not too large, with a small lake nearby, which made it an ideal spot for villas.

Li Rui had many assets under his control, particularly a plethora of real estate properties. Even with such villas, he owned many, though they were not registered under his name. If he wanted to live in one, he could, and settling a few people was definitely not a problem.

Qin Fang had carefully compared the information sent by Chen Da and conducted a simple reconnaissance of several locations, finally determining that the possibility of Song Gang and Cao Chun residing in Jinhu Villas was the highest.

Being passively beaten was certainly not acceptable. Both Song Gang and Cao Chun were dangerous individuals, and lurking in the shadows, they were like highly venomous snakes. Even though Qin Fang considered himself first-rate in self-preservation, facing sniper rifles and bombs, he had no guarantee of escaping unscathed.

Since a battle was inevitable, rather than taking blows passively, it was better to strike first... If Qin Fang's plan succeeded, perhaps they could be defeated one by one, gaining a significant advantage in advance.

And tonight, was the first step of Qin Fang taking action...

"I hope it brings me a surprise, best if I can take one of them down first..."(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian [qidian.com] to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
