Upon hearing Aunt Li Wenxiu's agreement to Qin Fang's condition, Li Deliang's excitement was so intense he almost jumped up, but in the end, he had to forcefully suppress such an impulse.

However, it wasn't as if he showed no reaction at all, at least from the expression on his face one could discern something; the barely visible smile at the corner of his mouth, and his slightly trembling frame, all revealed his feelings at the moment.

Qin Fang, naturally, was quite efficient, and immediately took out his checkbook, quickly signing a two-million check and handing it to Mother Su.

"Wait a moment..."

Just as Mother Su was about to accept the check and then pass it to her nephew Li Deliang, Qin Fang suddenly spoke up.

"Auntie, it's not my place to gossip... but it would be better for you to manage this money. Just give him some pocket money each month!"

Actually, Qin Fang should have given Li Deliang a good dressing down for his behavior, but considering Mother Su's feelings, it wasn't appropriate for him to take action.

But to let such a shameless scoundrel off lightly was something Qin Fang couldn't stand by and watch, hence the unsolicited advice. Of course, the final decision still rested with Mother Su.

"Gah..."

Just as Li Deliang was about to receive two million, and was already pondering where to enjoy a good time and celebrate, even considering calling a couple of beauties for a threesome, Qin Fang's sudden interjection hit him like a cudgel, rendering his face completely stiff.

This really frustrated Li Deliang, and inside he cursed Qin Fang to high heaven, but he dared not show any displeasure on his face. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Qin Fang receiving a verbal lashing, but Li Deliang himself covered in blood.

"This method... is not bad!"

Mother Su hesitated for a moment, then immediately felt it made sense.

Her nephew's character was indeed too poor, especially what he did today—putting it bluntly, it was heartless. If all the money were given to him, he would surely squander it quickly.

She had intended the money for Li Deliang to get married, have children, or start a business, not for him to waste away. Reminded by Qin Fang's words, she stopped her motion to pass the check.

"Deliang, did you hear that? This money will stay with me for now. I'll give you living expenses every month. If you live an honest life, work with peace of mind, and start a family, I'll give you the money soon enough. But if you continue your old ways... don't blame your aunt for not being considerate, and forget about even getting living expenses!"

Li Deliang's character definitely needed changing, and she as his aunt was extremely concerned...

"Auntie, how about this... In addition to visiting you this time, I also hope that you would consider moving to Ninghai. Why don't you bring him along, too? I'll arrange for someone to take good care of him!"

Qin Fang timely made this suggestion, finally revealing their purpose for visiting—to invite her to move to Ninghai, as only there could Qin Fang ensure her safety.

As for Li Deliang, he was merely incidental. The guy liked to mess around outside, right? Qin Fang would hand him over to Mouse Qiang, who would definitely know how to turn Li Deliang into a man of good character...

Of course, this was contingent upon Mother Su's willingness to move to Ninghai!

"Ah? Move to Ninghai..."

Sure enough, Mother Su expressed considerable surprise at Qin Fang's words, "This... I've lived in Yangcheng for decades, I'm very familiar with it here. Suddenly moving to Ninghai, unfamiliar with everything..."

Most elderly people are like this, having lived in a place for a long time, they develop strong attachments. Although this small building was a sad place for Mother Su, she had lived there for so many years and didn't wish to leave.

"Auntie, you should think of it this way: Xiao Xiao will live in Ninghai in the future. If you're in Ninghai, it will be easier to see her, won't it?"

Qin Fang wasn't surprised and immediately replied with a cheerful smile, also giving Su Xiaoxiao a knowing wink.

"Come with me..."

Su Xiaoxiao understood, and although the estrangement between mother and daughter still existed, Su Xiaoxiao was no longer as cold and terse as before. Although her tone was still somewhat stiff and she wasn't willing to address the elder directly...

"Alright! Alright..."

But for Mother Su, this was already enough. As long as her daughter was willing to speak with her properly, her heart was a hundred, a thousand times satisfied.

After all, her daughter had expressed her wishes, whether it was Tang Feifei's own intention or Qin Fang's suggestion, as soon as her daughter spoke up, she would definitely agree—she had neglected her daughter too much over the years.

Once Mother Su agreed, Qin Fang also let out a small sigh of relief, originally afraid that Mother Su was too attached to the past and unwilling to leave with them. With so many incidents having occurred in the meantime, he did not expect what he thought would be a difficult task to have become much simpler.

"Umm... can I not go?"

Li Deliang genuinely did not want to go, not because he had a deep attachment to Yangcheng, but because Ninghai was clearly Qin Fang's territory, and Qin Fang had just made it clear that he would take good care of him. Knowing his misfortune was imminent, why would he actively seek more trouble?

"No!"

However, the answer was predictable, Mother Su almost instantly rejected Li Deliang's request. She hoped her nephew would improve, and entrusting him to Qin Fang for discipline was undoubtedly the best method.

If Li Deliang was allowed to continue his misdeeds in Yangcheng, he would only become worse and more of a scoundrel... especially with money, he would indulge in extravagant pleasures and squander countless fortunes.

Although Qin Fang and Su Xiaoxiao did not voice their opinions, their gaze clearly showed their stance—they unconditionally supported Mother Su's decision.

"Xiao Xiao, help your aunt pack her things. I expect my people will come over in a while, and then we can move directly from Yangcheng to Ninghai..."

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams that may surface—the longer they delayed, the more complicated the situation could become. Hyena had a keen nose, and at this point, might already be tracking them.

Qin Fang was not afraid on his own, but with several vulnerable individuals dependent on him, he had no control; any mishap would make it difficult for him to explain to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Okay!"

Su Xiaoxiao did not waste words and quickly nodded in agreement.

"You don't need to bring many things, just some necessities... and you, go and help too!"

Time was of the essence, and Qin Fang worried that Mother Su might have trouble parting with her familiar old belongings, so he had to rely on Su Xiaoxiao to handle it. As for Li Deliang, Qin Fang naturally wouldn't let him idle away; since they were moving, someone had to do the heavy lifting, and that was indubitably the most suitable role for him.

"Alright, alright… I'm going..."

Left to face Qin Fang alone, Li Deliang did not have the courage. Although dismayed by the thought of falling under Qin Fang's clutches, the idea of having two million yuan to his name still thrilled him, diluting his worries substantially.

As Qin Fang mentioned, it wasn't much longer before Shen Liang drove over. When the decision was made to move Mother Su to Ninghai, Qin Fang had been mulling over the matter and had immediately notified Shen Liang to come over.

He and Su Xiaoxiao both had the ability to protect themselves, but Mother Su did not, and now with the addition of Li Deliang, there was a need for someone to offer protection, and Shen Liang was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Most importantly, Shen Liang was absolutely loyal to Qin Fang, tight-lipped, never leaking secrets that should not be disclosed.

While Su Xiaoxiao was his woman, and that secret was not necessarily something he couldn't share with Tang Feifei, the matter also involved other highly sensitive secrets.

Such as them collaborating to annihilate Sinan, stealing the Millennium Ancient Corpse that Hyena had put so much effort into obtaining, interfering with Zhao Si's scheme, and taking away the Buddha Bone Relic that the Secular Disciple from Shaolin Temple was so eager to possess...

All these were secrets that could not be publicly disclosed, as they would surely trouble Qin Fang with many unnecessary complications. The situation with Hyena was somewhat better since his background was already quite shady; with Sinan gone, that fellow's days ahead were not likely to be easy...

What troubled Qin Fang was the Secular Disciple from Shaolin Temple. For a high-ranking figure from the Buddhist Sect, the Buddha Bone Relic was an incredibly precious item, and it was unlikely that the Secular Disciple would let this go easily.

Of course, Qin Fang was not afraid of the Secular Disciple. What he truly feared lay behind him—the ancient and highly protective sect Shaolin—a sect brimming with genuine experts and endowed with profound heritage, a depth that Qin Fang, a man on his own, could not compare with...

By the time Shen Liang arrived, Mother Su and her daughter had almost finished packing, mostly bringing essential items for daily living and some valuable things from the house. They then loaded everything into the car and headed straight for the highway out of town.

Indeed, less than an hour after Qin Fang and his group left the Su Family home, a somewhat scattered convoy arrived there. The people, seemingly unrelated, spread out but kept in close contact with one another.

As they quietly entered the Su family courtyard and swiftly searched the entire building, they ended up empty-handed, without even a trace of a person left behind...

Afterward, they inquired among the neighbors. While the neighbors looked on with both caution and confusion, the intruders finally learned that they were a bit too late—the targets had been whisked away earlier.

As for where they were taken... that remained unknown.

The only possible lead was a car with Ninghai license plates that had driven away—but in the vast Ninghai City, trying to find a single person was indeed very difficult. (To be continued.
