"Oh, you're from out of town? Then at least you have a place to stay, right...?"

However, Qin Fang did know that as the Imperial Capital, Capital City was a mixing pot of people trying their luck. Those were the so-called "beijing drifters", wandering outsiders who hadn't settled down in the Capital City yet. They were, in a way, homeless, but they ought to at least have a place to live. Surely such a beautiful woman wouldn't be sleeping under a bridge like the vagrants, right?

"No... I don't have one anymore..."

But Qin Fang was mistaken again. The woman gently shook her head as she spoke.

"Ugh... No place to stay? Look, lady, are you messing with me?... Forget it, I'll just hand you over to the police," Qin Fang's face grew even more bewildered. The woman's words seemed to be toying with him. He no longer felt like playing the game. It was getting late, and he certainly didn't want to be freezing on the streets in the middle of the night!

"No! Please don't..."

What he hadn't expected was that the woman, who had been soft and feeble just moments ago, suddenly perked up like she had been injected with adrenaline at the mention of "police." She sprang up from the ground and grabbed Qin Fang's clothes, looking incredibly nervous and frightened.

However, this sudden jolt caused the woman's recently awakened consciousness to shut down entirely. Qin Fang saw her eyes lose focus, then her body seemed to collapse, going limp and falling downwards...

Qin Fang's face changed slightly, he extended an arm, and immediately wrapped it around the woman's soft waist. With a gentle pull, the woman leaned on him, appearing to have fainted.

At that moment, the woman was leaning on Qin Fang, supported by his arm. They looked like a loving couple, but in reality, Qin Fang was holding up her body; otherwise, she would have collapsed.

"What a mess..."

The woman just fainted on him, and that was undeniable. Qin Fang's scouting skill was enough to tell the difference between real fainting and pretending, but this left him in a bind.

"Whatever, let's just take her back..."

Qin Fang reasoned that since he had no way of finding out where the woman lived, the only option was to take her with him. He was staying at the Chang'an Club, after all, where the service was top-notch. He needn't worry about her having nowhere to stay. The next day, once the woman was completely sober, things would be simpler!

Having made up his mind, Qin Fang didn't delay any longer. He reached out, picked up the woman—who had a good figure and a moderate weight, not to mention her face, making her quite a catch. But Qin Fang didn't dwell on such thoughts; he was simply intent on helping someone. He had planned to hand her over to the police, but her strong reaction told him there might be a story there, and he didn't feel right doing so.

The few hooligans could only watch helplessly as Qin Fang carried the unconscious woman into his Mercedes. They didn't dare to interfere, settling for noting down Qin Fang's license plate number. Reporting that to "Young Master Yang" would serve as some sort of explanation... Surely better than showing up empty-handed.

Of course, even if they had wanted to stop him, they wouldn't have been able to. Their fate could have been even worse than it already was.

So, without any fuss, Qin Fang just drove away, taking the woman whose name he didn't even know back to the Chang'an Club.

...

The Chang'an Club was one of the top three clubs in Capital City.

The security system was naturally top-notch; your average person would find it exceedingly difficult to get in, but Qin Fang was an exception.

He was a guest of Qiao Zhenfei, and since the Qiao Family backed Chang'an Club, nobody would bother Qin Fang. Even if he brought a woman from outside, no one would question it. They saw his car and didn't even need to see the face of Qin Fang seated inside before waving him through.

After parking, Qin Fang carried the fainted woman into Jiazi Building.

"Young Master Qin, good evening..."

As Qin Fang entered the building with the woman in his arms, he happened to run into Wang Hui coming out. Wang Hui now served almost as Qin Fang's personal assistant. However, he hadn't been able to attend Elder Tang's birthday banquet that night and so stayed behind at the Chang'an Club.

He had made some connections by now, getting to know big names like Qiao Sanshao and Young Master Lu, and living in Jiazi Building—the most prestigious residence in the club—was a great boon to his social standing. Even the well-connected young elites of Capital City treated him with respect.

But in front of Qin Fang, he was still the obedient assistant. There he was, immediately greeting Qin Fang with a polite tone.

"Mhm, good evening... Heading out to have some fun this late?" Qin Fang nodded. He found Wang Hui to be a rather reliable person despite his unreliable chatter, and as a clever man, Qin Fang looked after him. He didn't act superior, treating Wang Hui more like a friend.

"Just met some friends, we're planning to have some fun together tonight..." Wang Hui cheerfully replied. He had expanded his network and could now make connections with various young elites of the Capital City. He wouldn't waste such an opportunity, especially since once Qin Fang left the Imperial Capital, he wouldn't be able to stay here either. Time was precious, and he couldn't afford to waste any.
