"You..."

Young Master Yang truly hadn't expected that Qin Fang would dare to joke around with him under such circumstances. His face instantly turned a shade of blue-green as if he were about to smoke with anger.

"Director Wang, what are you dazed for, arrest them!"

At that moment, he wished he could tear Qin Fang into pieces, but he wasn't brave enough to rush up himself. He could only use the police officers beside him to do the job.

"Arrest them... uh..."

As soon as Young Master Yang gave the order, Director Wang, acting as a loyal follower, immediately commanded his subordinates to take action, preparing to handcuff Qin Fang and the others and take them away.

But just as the order was given, and his subordinates were about to make a move, suddenly the dark muzzle of a gun was directly aimed at Director Wang's forehead, causing his body to stiffen on the spot, and even his lower body became weak and saggy, showing signs of wetting himself...

Despite being the director of a police station, he really didn't have much ability. Bullying the good and kind common folk was something he could do with accuracy, but if he encountered someone tough, he'd turn into a complete coward.

The dark muzzle was pointed right at his forehead, and at such a close distance, even the worst aim would surely hit its target. Those who were even a little faint-hearted couldn't bear it.

As a police officer, he had the judgment to tell whether the gun in the other party's hand was real or fake. It was definitely a lethal weapon... Director Wang could even smell the still-lingering scent of gunpowder in the gun barrel.

The gun had definitely been fired not too long ago!

Director Wang came to this conclusion, which made his body completely limp, and he didn't dare to move an inch.

Not only was Director Wang shocked, but the surrounding police officers were also incredibly tense. While several of them were armed, at that moment, they really might not dare to draw their guns...

Everyone understood that in this situation, whoever dared to draw their gun first would surely be the first to be shot by the opponent's bullet. Although they were police officers, they truly didn't have the resolve to sacrifice their lives for the people...

Young Master Yang and the other squires were each stunned and silent, even sneaking away, intending to slip out of there. They feared that if they caught a stray bullet it would be life-threatening.

In their eyes, they were incredibly precious, and losing even a single hair was a great loss, let alone being shot. They all fell silent as cicadas in winter, and even the previously triumphant Young Master Yang immediately turned into a scared chicken.

The one who drew the gun was naturally Guard Chen Gang who was tasked with ensuring the safety of Qin Fang and Tang Feifei. In times of danger, he was authorized to use firearms.

His act of drawing the gun instantly deterred everyone at the scene, and no one dared to make any rash moves.

"Guard Chen Gang, put the gun away!"

However, Qin Fang suddenly spoke from behind, as there really was no need to escalate to the point of drawing guns against these people.

"Yes!"

Chen Gang answered and promptly holstered his gun. He then stood there like a statue, with Shen Liang beside him doing much the same, though with a hint of teasing mockery on his face.

Seeing Chen Gang holster his gun, Director Wang finally took a breath, his fear and oppression gradually easing, though not entirely gone.

Even without the threat of a gun, the cops still didn't dare to act rashly. They couldn't figure out Qin Fang's intentions and whether these people might pull out more guns.

Young Master Yang and his fellow squires also didn't dare to be as aggressive as before, intimidated by the fact that Qin Fang had armed bodyguards—a privilege not even they possessed despite their status.

Such imposing young masters typically have such bodyguards, but even their bodyguards didn't seem to pull off being this high-handed.

The other possibility was that Qin Fang was involved in the underworld and was one of those strong underworld young masters, with desperadoes for minions, so carrying guns wouldn't be strange at all.

Such people usually have very solid backing and connections; they certainly wouldn't fear small-time police officers and naturally wouldn't consider people like Director Wang worth paying attention to.

Both possibilities caused considerable apprehension for Young Master Yang, and he hesitated, no longer daring to forcefully arrest people like he did before, despite having influential people supporting him from behind.

While both sides were at an impasse, a young master appeared, leading a group of men and women who seemed to have come to hang out. The young leader was escorted by everyone and appeared quite significant.

"Young Master Chen, you're here..."

Young Master Yang was the first to notice, and you could even say he had been waiting here for a while. As soon as he saw the person arrive, he immediately approached with a smile brimming on his face.

Qin Fang glanced over in that direction, his expression turning quite strange. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly mumbled something to Tang Feifei.

Young Master Yang, on the other hand, simply exchanged a few words with the newcomer, and pointed at Qin Fang and his group with his finger. He seemed very indignant, which immediately annoyed the young master leading his entourage, prompting them to head straight over.

Director Wang, although unaware of who the newcomers were, could see that even local scions like Young Master Yang were behaving in an exceptionally obedient and courteous manner. It was clear that these newcomers had no ordinary status, surely much more influential than Young Master Yang and his ilk. Director Wang signaled subtly with his eyes to the policemen under his command, who all maintained a state of alert, especially wary of Chen Gang and Shen Liang who were carrying guns.

No sooner had the young master led his group a few steps in their direction, they caught sight of Qin Fang and Tang Feifei sitting there.

Before seeing who was present, the young master was strutting around with utmost swagger, his eyes practically lifted to the skies, but as soon as he recognized the faces of Qin Fang and his group, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. His complexion drastically changed, and he immediately turned on his heel, intending to bolt.

"Cousin..."

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to make his getaway, a crisp voice called out from behind him—it was none other than Tang Feifei.

With that one call, the young master had to halt in his tracks. He reluctantly turned back to face Tang Feifei and Qin Fang, his expression exceedingly odd.

And who was this person?

It was Chen Shijie, who Qin Fang had dealt with so harshly that he didn't even dare to attend Old Master Tang's birthday banquet.

"Eh... Feifei! Qin Fang is here too... What a coincidence!"

Chen Shijie's face twisted into an exceedingly ugly expression. He truly hadn't anticipated that the one thing he was trying to avoid would confront him head-on. Even after hiding out in this place, he still bumped into Qin Fang.

Witnessing the sudden appearance of Chen Shijie, Qin Fang wore a particularly peculiar expression, while Tang Feifei looked entirely surprised. However, they now understood why Young Master Yang, previously quite brusque, changed his stance entirely after a single phone call, his attitude taking a complete 180-degree turn.

It seemed that the call must have been from Chen Shijie. Young Master Yang probably played up the situation to Chen Shijie, who then came to provide support. After all, in the Capital City, Chen Shijie was considered a second-tier young master, certainly more esteemed than the likes of Young Master Yang.

Chen Shijie's downfall at the hands of Qin Fang was already common knowledge in the Capital City's circles. While it wasn't considered a huge embarrassment, Chen Shijie had been reluctant to show his face to Qin Fang, at least while Qin Fang was in the Capital. He had planned to stay as far away as possible.

Therefore, he had left the usual haunts of the city's top three elite clubs and slipped into Di Hao, a smaller venue he wouldn't normally visit even if carried there on a palanquin, for fear of encountering Qin Fang.

Of course, those who frequented such elite circles were influential scions of the Capital City, and now and then they'd ridicule him, something he couldn't stand at all, so he chose to hide out here instead.

But what he hadn't foreseen was the more he tried to avoid Qin Fang, the more he seemed to run into him.

"Quite a coincidence indeed..."

Tang Feifei didn't say a word, just looked on with a faint smile. The Third Generation of the Tang Family didn't have much regard for Chen Shijie, Tang Feifei in particular—who could blame her when Chen Shijie was always trying to match her up with Xu Ling? It was already generous of her not to show him disdain.

Qin Fang, on the other hand, sounded friendlier, speaking as if to a friend, calmly suggesting, "Cousin, you've come at the right time. It looks like you know Young Master Yang. I've had a bit of a misunderstanding with him, and you could just help mediate between us... With so many policemen watching, my little heart is thumping, I'm so scared..."

Chen Shijie's face turned a patchwork of red and pale—he was no fool, and he knew perfectly well that Qin Fang was toying with him.

Just looking at the situation, it was obvious that the Yang fellow had somehow offended Qin Fang, and even called in so many policemen... Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Even a second-tier young master like him, having suffered at the hands of Qin Fang and having to tread carefully around him, found Young Master Yang—who wasn't even worth mentioning compared to third-tier—to be rather audacious for taking on Qin Fang so brazenly. Was he tired of living?

"Mediator? No problem..."

Although Chen Shijie was somewhat connected to Young Master Yang, that was mainly because Yang had been fawning over him. It happened to suit him as he was looking for a place to lay low, and he just dropped by Yang's place.

But he sure hadn't expected to run into this mess. Had he known he'd encounter Qin Fang, he would've fled far and wide much earlier, let alone wade into such muddy waters.

"That Young Master Yang... Young Master Qin is a friend of mine. Whatever incident happened between you two is nothing but a minor issue. I'll act as the mediator today. You just apologize to Young Master Qin and we'll consider the matter closed. How does that sound?"

Chen Shijie didn't want any part of this messy affair; Young Master Yang was nothing in his eyes. Regardless of the actual facts or whether the justice truly lay with Qin Fang's side, Chen Shijie would definitely expect Young Master Yang to apologize...

In this circle, the rule was simple: whoever had the mightiest fist or the strongest connections was in the right. Anything else was just empty talk... If Young Master Yang couldn't pull in a big shot to suppress Qin Fang, then he would just have to take the fall and be stepped on by Qin Fang!(To be continued.
