With Qin Fang present, Tang Feifei and the others weren't afraid anymore, and their courage grew substantially.

Furthermore, considering how truly impolite Cao Pangzi had just been to them, even the usually good-tempered Tang Feifei was infuriated, so how could they let it go so easily?

"Then both claws should be dismantled..."

With those words from Tang Feifei, a hint of ferocity appeared on Qin Fang's face. He calmly uttered these words while turning his face to look at Cao Pangzi.

At this moment, Cao Pangzi's complexion wasn't looking too good either. His smile had completely disappeared, but he didn't seem particularly frightened, as if he still had absolute confidence.

"What do you mean by that, my friend?"

Knowing that he was no match for Qin Fang, especially after Qin Fang had taken down his bodyguards, Cao Pangzi, who was accustomed to being domineering, asked with a somewhat gloomy face, even though Qin Fang was clearly ready to take action against him.

"What do I mean? Wasn't I clear enough?"

Qin Fang let out a cold laugh. He had never liked people who harassed others unprovoked, and least of all someone who dared lay hands on his woman. So, Qin Fang certainly couldn't be polite anymore.

He was considered a top figure in Ninghai. If he didn't deal with an incident like this, where would Qin Fang put his face?

Face was one aspect, but more crucially, Qin Fang didn't have many relatives. Tang Feifei and the others were effectively his family. If his own people were bullied and he showed no response, it would be utterly unacceptable.

"You wouldn't dare..."

Cao Pangzi's face changed drastically. He finally realized that Qin Fang had never intended to make peace with him from the start. The words exchanged earlier were only to toy with him.

The usually overbearing Cao Pangzi, unaccustomed to this sort of frustration, felt his anger rapidly surging. His chubby cheeks tightened around his small eyes, which blazed with fury.

"Kid, since you're playing tough with me, I won't be polite either. Believe it or not, with one phone call, I can make sure you have nowhere to be buried!"

As he spoke, Cao Pangzi took out his phone, boasting arrogantly, the gesture exuding immense pride.

"Oh, is that so? I truly don't believe you..."

A look of disdain appeared on Qin Fang's lips as he glanced sidelong at the self-important Fatty, completely disregarding him... "Intimidating me? I'm afraid you're not qualified!"

During his speech, Qin Fang couldn't be bothered to waste more words on the Fatty. With a slight shift of his feet, he was instantly in front of Cao Pangzi.

Cao Pangzi's eyes instantly widened with shock, and he instinctively tried to dodge and retreat... But Zhang Hui was standing right behind him, blocking his way back.

Crack~~

Without another word, Qin Fang grabbed Cao Pangzi's wrist, gently squeezed, and a crisp sound was heard...

"Ah... my hand!!!"

Cao Pangzi's wrist was practically broken on cue. The sudden pain turned his face deathly pale and he let out a pig-like scream, shaking the entire sales office as if it were trembling.

Zhou Pei didn't dare to move now, his face all swollen, but compared to Cao Pangzi's broken wrist, his injuries were merely "light".

Zhang Hui, standing behind Cao Pangzi, also had a deathly pale face, terrified as if expecting Qin Fang to take his rage out on her next. Her eyes were filled with fright.

"You... you..."

Cao Pangzi clutched his wrist tightly, wailing loudly, tears forced out by the pain. His fatty face nearly completely twisted.

His plight caused many bystanders to change their expressions. Even Tang Feifei and her friends frowned slightly. However, recalling how they nearly got molested by the Fatty, they felt significantly more justified.

Qin Fang, on the other hand, remained quite indifferent. Cao Pangzi no longer possessed the previous arrogance and self-entitlement, now looking every bit the loser.

"Stop yelling, this is just a little interest! Weren't you ranting about showing me a lesson, making me die without a place to bury me? Fine, I'm giving you the opportunity, feel free to call anyone you want..."

Breaking one hand was just the beginning. As Qin Fang broke the Fatty's wrist, he took the opportunity to "visit" Cao Pangzi's true thoughts.

But what he saw ignited Qin Fang's fury.

Even though he knew Cao Pangzi must harbor deep resentment towards him, Qin Fang had no idea that the thoughts in Cao Pangzi's heart were ten times, even a hundred times more malicious than he could have imagined...

But with so many eyes on him, Qin Fang couldn't outright kill this fatty to eliminate future problems. However, he had plenty of ways to slowly deal with Cao Pangzi.

So at that moment, Qin Fang actually started playing the good guy, speaking to Cao Pangzi with an air of pretension.

As soon as he spoke, the people around them were all slightly taken aback. Many were internally cursing Qin Fang for being a dumbass—holding an absolute advantage, he should have beaten the guy up and left quickly. That was the smart way to go... If the police arrived later, with Qin Fang having injured so many people, he would likely end up badly.

Moreover, the reason Cao Pangzi dared to be so arrogant and overbearing was precisely because his wealth had paved the way for him to meet many big shots in Ninghai. With these people backing him, they could definitely make Qin Fang's life miserable!

To hold such an advantage yet put on such a pretentious act, only to be taken down in the end, would be the height of idiocy... There were many people on the scene who thought so, Zhou Pei with his swollen face being one of them.

"Fine... fine... you just wait!"

Cao Pangzi's face also turned extremely grim. He wasn't the type to be foolish to the core. If Qin Fang dare spoke to him like this, it was obvious that he had some connections or background, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk to him like that.

But Cao Pangzi wasn't worried. Coming to Ninghai for investment and business, he had indeed met quite a few important figures and got along rather well with them. He believed they wouldn't mind lending him a hand with such a small favor.

Thinking this, Cao Pangzi felt a spark of cunning in his heart, although the sharp pain in his wrist was still torture. But at the same time, his hatred towards Qin Fang deepened.

Yet in order to take revenge and vent his anger, Cao Pangzi could only endure the pain in his wrist and immediately made a call to a familiar "big shot."

Qin Fang didn't bother to listen to the specifics of the conversation and wasn't in the mood to listen. Today, it didn't matter who came; he was set on thoroughly trouncing Cao Pangzi.

Although the situation in Ninghai seemed calm on the surface, underneath there was a strong undercurrent. Many enemies were eyeing Qin Fang, waiting for him to slip up so they could attack all at once.

Obviously, Qin Fang couldn't afford to back down even an inch. Ninghai was essentially his rear base. Before he began his mission, he had to first ensure the stability of his stronghold.

He didn't want to be away and receive bad news of trouble back home...

He didn't take Cao Pangzi seriously, but a little intimidation would serve to 'knock the mountain and shake the tiger,' especially since Qin Fang had inadvertently uncovered some surprising details.

Such details were incredibly secretive, and if it hadn't been for a coincidence, Qin Fang would have never been aware of the scheme hidden inside...

But now that he had caught such an opportunity, Qin Fang would definitely not be overly courteous with certain people.

"Kid, if you're seeking death, you can't blame me..."

After finishing the call, Cao Pangzi's fearful expression lessened significantly, and he plotted in his heart how he would deal with and take revenge on Qin Fang.

As a coal boss with more money than he knew what to do with, Cao Pangzi was of the particularly ruthless sort. Even in Hedong Province, his notoriety as "Black-hearted Cao" was well-known.

Although this was Jiangnan Province, Cao Pangzi always believed that there was nothing money couldn't solve. With money in hand, he had plenty of people eager to do his bidding.

For instance, the person he had just spoken to on the phone had promised he would definitely handle the situation for him with only a single request...

"I'm telling you in advance, I don't care who you find to help, if you can't handle today's situation, your other hand will suffer the same fate..."

Seeing the change in Cao Pangzi's expression, Qin Fang just sneered silently in his heart, unafraid and even somewhat mocking and sarcastic.

It wasn't that Qin Fang thought so highly of himself, but now he understood a lot about the ways of the world, especially the mindset of some of the most powerful figures in Dragon Country's officialdom.

The higher their position, the less they would care about someone like Cao Pangzi. Such people were unreliable; getting too involved with them could easily lead to scandal.

Therefore, the so-called "big shots" who really had ties with Cao Pangzi were mostly not of particularly high rank. Qin Fang guessed that having the connections of a department-level official would be pretty impressive already...

Of course, he didn't rule out the possibility that Cao Pangzi could connect with a vice-ministerial level official, which would make them a real big shot in Jiangnan Province.

If he really had to deal with such a powerhouse, Qin Fang would have no choice but to back off and deal with Cao Pangzi in the shadows instead.

But Cao Pangzi shouldn't think about touching him. Pushed to the brink, Qin Fang would have to rely on his own backing. Secretary Tang was now the acting governor, a full ministerial-level official. In all of Jiangnan Province, only the aging Secretary, close to retirement, could firmly suppress him... But such high-level figures wouldn't get too entangled with someone like Cao Pangzi; it wasn't worth it!

"You... Hmph! Just you watch..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Cao Pangzi felt a momentary fear inside, vaguely sensing something was amiss. But, unwilling to show weakness, Cao Pangzi immediately shot back with an equal taunt.

However, he hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and made another call to someone else... (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your votes of recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
