"Is that so?"

Qin Fang's face was adorned with a smile as he playfully observed Liu Kun. Anyone could see the state of Liu Kun's mind; it was clear that he harbored other thoughts, and only a fool would believe otherwise.

"In that case, you go withdraw the money... I'll be right here waiting for you to bring it back!"

However, Qin Fang seemed completely oblivious to Liu Kun's guilty demeanor. He casually patted Liu Kun on the shoulder and really just let him leave.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll go get the money right now!"

Liu Kun was suddenly as relieved as if he'd been granted amnesty, practically scuttling away in his eagerness to escape the place.

"Wait a moment..."

Just as he was about to reach the courtyard gate, only a few steps away from fleeing outside, Qin Fang's voice rang out from behind.

"Um... Boss, what are your orders?"

Despite truly not wanting to heed Qin Fang, and desperately wanting to flee, the thought of Qin Fang's terror made Liu Kun's calves quiver, and he didn't dare run anymore. With a morose expression, he turned around and cautiously asked.

"I don't have any orders per se, just a reminder for you..." Qin Fang said with a smile, his tone remarkably calm, as if he was just making casual conversation. "You'd better not have any other ideas. I won't wait here for too long. If you don't bring the money back, any misfortune that befalls you will have absolutely nothing to do with me..."

His words were delivered in an even tone, almost as if he were joking. If it had been a conversation between friends, it probably wouldn't have been taken very seriously.

But in this context, Liu Kun's body involuntarily shuddered with fear, distinctly sensing the threat in Qin Fang's statement.

"Yes, yes... Understood! Understood!"

Nevertheless, what Liu Kun wanted most was to leave the place as quickly as possible. He figured he'd deal with anything else once he got out of this courtyard and secured his safety.

This time, Qin Fang didn't stop Liu Kun anymore. He remained silent until Liu Kun's figure disappeared behind the gate, seemingly giving his tacit consent for his departure.

There were still many people in the courtyard who were quite surprised by Qin Fang's actions. Although they recognized Qin Fang's formidable strength, they felt his judgment seemed rather poor.

The saying goes, spare the tiger to return to the mountain and trouble will follow!

Though Liu Kun wasn't quite a fierce tiger, he was at least a hungry wolf!

Dealing with someone like that and still trusting their word was, frankly, quite foolish.

With this thought, some people's minds became active, pondering if they could perhaps trick Qin Fang as well. Maybe they could leave this place too.

"You all want to leave too?"

But before anyone could come up with a good excuse, Qin Fang asked everyone present with a beaming smile.

The people glanced at each other, lightly nodding their heads while keeping an eye on Qin Fang's expressions, afraid of inadvertently angering Qin Fang, this harbinger of death.

"Don't be in a hurry... Let's wait until Liu Kun comes back!"

However, Qin Fang didn't grant their wish. Nor did he show any anger. Instead, he calmly spoke, then immediately went to chat with Su Xiaoxiao and Mother Su, leaving the many people hanging.

The group was taken aback, their expressions bitter. They truly wanted to say that their Boss, Brother Kun, would definitely not return.

As Liu Kun's subordinates and mother, these people understood Liu Kun's character all too well. For his own sake, he was absolutely capable of abandoning anything else, even his own mother.

Moreover, Liu Kun was very stingy. Normally, even though he wasn't completely tightfisted with his subordinates, he was definitely as parsimonious as they come.

Thirty thousand yuan wasn't an enormous sum, but neither was it insignificant. Given Liu Kun's nature, it was unlikely he would part with it under any circumstances, let alone now when he might have already turned tail to flee.

But as they looked at one another, and glanced at Liu Kun's mother Liu Ying—who was the epitome of shame—they all chose silence in the end.

Besides being stingy, Liu Kun was also narrow-minded. Whoever betrayed him would definitely be remembered, and he might seek retribution when he returned.

...

"Phew~~~ I finally escaped!"

After stepping out of the Su Family's courtyard, Liu Kun felt a great sense of relief, heaved a long sigh, and his heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled down.

"Hmph... I'm already out, why would I send money to you? Do you really take me for a fool?"

However, as soon as Liu Kun left, his true intentions multiplied, especially regarding the idea of bringing money to Qin Fang—it was absolutely impossible.

Having betrayed his own Boss, fleeing was naturally his top priority, and being in a strange place without money was definitely not going to work. His entire fortune was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, giving up almost half of it to Qin Fang would be even worse than killing him.

"Damn it, better get going fast. If those bastards sell me out, I'm screwed..."

Liu Kun didn't dare to delay, fearful that Qin Fang might suddenly have second thoughts and chase after him to drag him back, subjecting him to another round of fear and dread.

Without any hesitation, Liu Kun quickly made his escape, jumped into his car that was parked outside, and headed straight for the highway leading out of town.

Having betrayed the mastermind Zhao Si, Liu Kun knew this matter would soon reach Zhao Si. Once Zhao Si made a move, it would be too late for him to run. Escaping before the news broke was the smartest choice...

As for the final piece of advice that Qin Fang gave him—which he took as a threat—he simply dismissed it as useless nonsense.

...

Liu Kun would definitely not come back once he left the door, and even his subordinates knew that, so how could Qin Fang not be aware?

Not only did Liu Kun's expressions and eyes betray his thoughts, but Qin Fang's Mind Reading Technique was not just for show; he had already known Liu Kun's intentions.

Even so, Qin Fang pretended to know nothing, allowing Liu Kun to leave this place, and even leave the city of Yangcheng...

Thirty thousand yuan was certainly not a big deal for Qin Fang, but to let Liu Kun off so easily was out of the question.

The guy had done too many despicable things; chopping off an arm as a small punishment for a major admonition was unlikely to have much effect... Besides, Liu Kun already had a bellyful of malice towards him, only giving lip service to compliance while inwardly wishing to tear Qin Fang limb from limb.

Moreover, the Sin Points on this guy were way too high; putting him down wouldn't be a miscarriage of justice at all...

But Qin Fang still decided to give him a chance. If Liu Kun honestly went to the bank to withdraw the money and brought it back, then Qin Fang would let bygones be bygones...

However, if he decided to flee without caring for the safety of his subordinates and his mother, then he was truly heartless, and Qin Fang would have no reason to be polite to him.

On the surface, Qin Fang seemed to have done nothing, but Liu Kun didn't know that earlier, Qin Fang had patted his shoulder gently and in that instant, used the Acupuncture Secret Technique to inject several drops of highly toxic essence into Liu Kun's body...

This toxic essence was extracted from extremely poisonous substances, with a toxicity even stronger than that of viper venom. Qin Fang injected only a very small amount, which wouldn't act immediately, but the poison would slowly rot the internal organs... Once the toxicity reached a certain level, there would be no saving him!

Qin Fang estimated that the toxicity would take eight to ten hours to manifest...

Going to the bank to withdraw money, even with a long queue, would surely allow one to return in one or two hours, but if Liu Kun chose to flee, such a long time would be enough for him to escape hundreds of kilometers away, and taking a flight could get him thousands of kilometers distant.

If he got that far away, even if Liu Kun realized something was wrong with his body and wanted to return for Qin Fang's help, it would be too late for Qin Fang to save him.

Although Qin Fang had Detoxification Pills which could neutralize most poisons, if they were separated by a thousand miles, Qin Fang naturally couldn't assist... Moreover, from the moment Liu Kun chose to flee, his fate was already sealed.

As for seeking treatment at a hospital...

It's not that Qin Fang underestimated those doctors, but once this poison became active, it took effect in a very short period of time, quickly ending a person's life.

If Liu Kun managed to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with considerable Inner Breath, who could pair it with the rare Acupuncture Secret Technique, he might be able to temporarily suppress the onset of the poison. However, such individuals were few and the Inner Breath required for treatment was so substantial that most would not be willing to make such a sacrifice.

Turning to Western medicine in the face of such toxins would likely involve several hours of various tests. By the time the results were out, the patient would have been dead for a while.

Even with expedited procedures and immediate results, the best they could offer would be limited measures like stomach pumping...

But since Qin Fang administered the poison, it was not easy to neutralize. The toxin didn't enter orally, so stomach pumping would be worthless.

All these scenarios were within Qin Fang's calculations, but only he knew the details. The others saw Qin Fang as a fool with no brains, and Liu Kun as the one involved, thought the same...

Yet he never imagined that while he was gleefully thinking he had escaped danger, the Reaper was already standing behind him, waiting for the time to harvest his life.

And Qin Fang? He would not feel any guilt. By eliminating such a person who long ago lost his conscience and who had caused the ruin and death of countless families, he was doing a public service and would also earn a decent amount of Justice Points!
