"Brother Da, I've always treated you as a brother, please don't be like this..."

Qin Fang immediately stood up and supported the somewhat agitated Chen Da, speaking with great sentiment.

Although there was a suspicion of winning hearts, he wasn't truly despicable to the extent of being fake; he greatly admired Chen Da for valuing the friendship of comrades-in-arms.

"Although Song Gang is dead, Cao Chun is still alive. While he might be relatively easier to deal with, he's even more dangerous... We must come up with a very meticulous plan, ensuring that nothing goes wrong!"

Qin Fang then stated the purpose of his visit.

He could take on Song Gang alone, but dealing with Cao Chun was more troublesome.

The unexpected killing of Song Gang meant that Li Rui would definitely be hiding Cao Chun even more carefully now. It would be more difficult to track him down this time, and Qin Fang's biggest worry was that if Cao Chun, failing to find his assassin, might vent his anger on innocent people, then Qin Fang would have truly caused a disaster...

"Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Chen Da nodded.

Having dealt with enemies like Song Gang and Cao Chun, he certainly knew them well and never underestimated them. Years ago, these two were able to break out of a military siege with ease and killed so many people, so they were naturally even more terrifying now.

The two of them together were an exceptionally fierce force, but now that only Cao Chun was left, although still a very brutal tiger, he was relatively easier to handle.

But as Qin Fang feared, the guy was a madman; who knew if the next time he appeared, he might be carrying a string of bombs in a bustling city district...

...

This time, the shooting caused a big stir, especially since the victim was the internationally wanted felon Song Gang, which made the police take it very seriously. The whole atmosphere in Ninghai was tense, and Qin Fang could see police patrolling the streets just by casually strolling around.

Such a situation was very rare usually. Everyone knew that the police in Dragon Country were notoriously slack, great at making money but when it came to seriously investigating cases, that was quite the challenge.

But this time it was different. The pressure from the higher-ups was too great, and the subordinates had to take it seriously. Qin Fang learned from Ye Xiang that in just a few days, his old man Ye Heng had turned noticeably white-haired.

Why? It wasn't because they couldn't catch Cao Chun, and they were worried that the madman might suddenly emerge.

"Qin Fang, come out for a bit, I have something to ask you…"

But while Qin Fang was leisurely enjoying himself, Sister Ning, Ning Yumo, who rarely asked Qin Fang out, suddenly called him to invite him for dinner.

"Sister Ning, is it something important?"

Receiving this call, Qin Fang was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"Accompany me to a gathering, dress up smartly…"

Ning Yumo didn't say much, only giving a simple instruction.

"No problem, I'll be there soon…"

Qin Fang naturally wouldn't refuse. Ning Yumo had always taken great care of him. Officially they were like siblings, but sometimes she cared for Qin Fang even more than for her own brother Ning Weiqiang.

However, a kiss the last time they were together had cast a strange shade over their relationship, and since then Ning Yumo had rarely seen Qin Fang alone.

Ning Weiqiang once told Qin Fang that when the news of his death came, Ning Yumo was very heartbroken, losing her appetite for several days and lacking spirit even at work, which was deeply moving to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang was lazy when it came to dressing up, with no particular talent for it, neither did he have the skill. But he had three very beautiful, gentle, and understanding girlfriends by his side.

Tang Feifei, Xiao Muxue, and Wen Yan were all acquainted with Ning Yumo and got along quite well. When they heard that Qin Fang was accompanying Ning Yumo to a gathering, the three immediately volunteered to help Qin Fang get dressed up.

Now that Qin Fang was not short of money and had considerable financial resources, the girls deliberately helped him buy some expensive international brand clothing, although Qin Fang didn't really care for these luxuries and usually dressed very casually.

But this time, not wanting to let Ning Yumo down, he let the girls dress him up, fussing over every detail from head to toe, turning him into quite the dashing young man.

"Not bad at all…"

At least when Ning Yumo saw Qin Fang, she couldn't help but be impressed, giving such an appraisal, which immediately made Qin Fang a bit elated.

"Sister Ning, you are so beautiful!"

Qin Fang could only be considered somewhat handsome, but Ning Yumo, donned in a stunning gown, was truly breathtaking.

The black evening dress with its V-neckline made her proud and perky pair stand out even more vividly, and a dazzling diamond necklace nestled in her cleavage added an eye-catching allure that was almost impossible to look away from.

"You and your sweet talk... save it for the other girls!"

Faced with Qin Fang's praise, Ning Yumo simply smiled calmly, reached out to tap his forehead, and let out a coquettish hum.

Qin Fang could only respond with an awkward smile. His friends, who knew him well, were aware of his messy harem, and Ning Yumo was no exception, though they never said much about it.

The gathering was held at the Triumph Restaurant, a famous western restaurant in Ninghai located at the summit of Yulong Mountain in Ninghai City District. From there, one could overlook much of the Ninghai City District, offering a particularly beautiful view.

Of course, dining here was quite expensive, not something the average person could afford.

This gathering hosted by Ning Yumo was actually initiated by a so-called "successful person" who had just returned from abroad, mainly inviting former university classmates.

Although Ning Yumo became a police officer after graduating from university, she wasn't a police academy graduate. Instead, she graduated from the most prestigious Jiangzhou University at the tip of the Yangtze River Delta in the eastern part of Jiangnan Province.

This university is also a renowned domestic institution, ranked among the top five nationally alongside the universities in Ninghai and Jiangnan Province's Ninghai University, as well as Huxi University in Huxi Province, excluding the two in Capital City.

However, after graduating from university, this gentleman went to the United States to pursue his master's and doctoral degrees and quickly made a name for himself there. Now, he had achieved a degree of fame, working for a very well-known multinational corporation.

He was back this time for a major domestic project under his leadership, and he might stay in the country for a while. His company's office was in Jiangzhou, but he chose to hold this class reunion in Ninghai. It was said that he was covering all expenses for food, accommodation, transportation, and entertainment, demonstrating his wealth and generosity.

As for this gentleman's purpose, it was quite clear – he was after Ning Yumo.

Ning Yumo's family background was not well-known to many during their school days, as she kept a low profile, but not long after graduating from university and returning to work in Ninghai, her status leaked out. With word spreading from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred, many classmates became aware.

But students from reputable universities tend to be proud, and scattered all over the country, only a few had come to work in Ninghai, and even fewer sought Ning Yumo's help in establishing connections, so they naturally lost touch. However, some female classmates still maintained a degree of contact with Ning Yumo.

That's how it was when this gentleman named Yang Rui returned to Jiangzhou and met his old university classmates. In conversation, he discovered that Ning Yumo was still single.

Back then, this gentleman was one of Ning Yumo's suitors, though he had never succeeded. Now, believing he had made his mark and was worthy of Ning Yumo, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity of the class reunion, to win over the beauty...

"When the time comes, you'll pretend to be my boyfriend. Don't mess it up..."

Ning Yumo had always been single, mainly because of her strong personality and high standards, which had left her without a match.

Ning Yumo had some recollection of Yang Rui, though it wasn't particularly fond, and given his ulterior motives this time, she was even less interested.

Having few male friends, she usually relied on Ning Weiqiang to act as a shield in such situations, but Ning Weiqiang was her brother, someone Yang Rui had met before, so he wouldn't work. Qin Fang, with his formidable air, was conveniently brought along to fill the role.

But what Qin Fang didn't realize was that Ning Yumo had thought of him first...

"Don't worry, Sister Ning, leave it to me..."

Qin Fang immediately assured her with a slap to his chest and a solemn promise.

Now, Qin Fang had come to terms with it – stepping on others wasn't a big deal to him, as he had done it plenty of times. He wouldn't mind stepping on one or two more if that meant keeping such annoyances away from Sister Ning.

This was Qin Fang's first time at the Triumph Restaurant, an upscale establishment that had once been an unattainable dream for the old him, where even a simple dish might have cost him half a year's earnings.

But things were different now; he was a billionaire, for whom even a lavish bath might cost hundreds of thousands, let alone a meal, especially since it wasn't even coming out of his own pocket.

They say a man's car is his face!

The better the car, the more prestige the man has.

This was best illustrated at the Spring Clubhouse in Maple Valley.

At the Triumph Restaurant, while not as snobbish as that, the valets did react differently to Qin Fang's Audi compared to the other Buicks and Passats.

Such disdainful treatment could be found anywhere.

Although it wasn't as overt as at the Spring Clubhouse, a closer look could reveal it.

Neither Qin Fang nor Ning Yumo cared about this; as soon as they stepped out of the car, Ning Yumo took Qin Fang's arm, her alluring body pressing close against his, and they entered the restaurant with an intimacy that went beyond mere friends...(To be continued.
