First update,
...
Actually, even Tang Feifei didn't know that Qin Fang's current language proficiency was such that he didn't need a translator. He had been studying Japanese and Korean in his spare ti, and although he wasn't yet very fluent in speaking, he had no problem understanding everything when he listened.
The reason he brought along Xiao Muxue was rely to find a suitable excuse, and at the sa ti, to lull Chen Jiangnan and those factory owners into complacency.
That night, Qin Fang, Tang Feifei, and Xiao Muxue all stayed overnight in the little cabins at the Sawmill Factory. Despite having two beauties within arm's reach, Qin Fang still had to sleep alone, which made the flesh-craving Qin Fang quite restless, but he dared not overstep any boundaries.
No matter what, Qin Fang could only endure it, and thus he spent the night in a groggy state.
"What? Second Brother didn't co back last night?"
It was only after Qin Fang returned to his dormitory that he found out Xiao Nan had not co back all night. After pondering for a while, he stealthily called Fan Ning and found out that Xia Yun also hadn't returned last night.
"Our Second Brother's skills are really sothing, huh? He managed to win soone over in just one night..." Qin Fang said to Fan Ning over the phone, showing off.
"You're no better..." Fan Ning replied bitterly, still holding a grudge about being choked in the car the previous night, and she was not at all polite to Qin Fang.
"I was forced into it... hehe!"
Qin Fang was now rather skilled with words and didn't let Fan Ning get the better of him easily. His response imdiately brought on a round of cursing from Fan Ning, but this actually made their relationship seem even more harmonious.
But a decidedly less harmonious event occurred soon after.
"Fourth Brother, there's been trouble..."
Boss Fang Dacheng hurried out of the dormitory and found Qin Fang, speaking to him with a sense of urgency.
"What happened?"
Qin Fang was slightly startled and muted the phone, asking curiously.
"Second Brother was arrested by the police, they're accusing him of drug trafficking... He's asking for you to save him!"
Fang Dacheng said anxiously.
"What? Drug trafficking? Which idiot cop did this? That guy has more money than he knows what to do with, why would he need to traffic drugs?" Qin Fang cursed without hesitation.
Xiao Nan wasn't exactly short on money; the credit cards he carried all had no spending limit, allowing him to charge up to ten million without issue. His family assets were worth billions, and his business was in the highly profitable real estate sector, which was much more profitable than drug trafficking and carried far lower risks.
"I'm not sure about the details. He's being held at the Nancheng Sub-bureau, waiting for you to rescue him..." Fang Dacheng didn't have any solutions; ordinary people really had no options when it ca to situations like this.
"Alright, I'll take care of this right away!"
Qin Fang nodded. Xiao Nan was certainly in trouble, but the specifics could only be understood once he got there. After a quick farewell to Fang Dacheng, he imdiately inquired with Fan Ning on the phone.
"Ning Ning, Xiao Nan is in trouble. He's been arrested by the police for drug trafficking... Call Xia Yun and see if she knows what happened! I'm heading to your place right now, and I'll drive your car to the Nancheng Sub-bureau..."
Fan Ning also felt there was sothing wrong with this news. Although she wasn't very clear about Xiao Nan's wealth, just from his clothes, the car he drove, and the places he dined at, she knew he ca from a wealthy family. People might believe he used drugs, but trafficking... one would have to be an idiot to do that, especially when he was with Xia Yun last night.
But when she tried calling Xia Yun, the phone was off, and she couldn't get in touch with her, which only added a layer of mystery to the situation.
"Qin Fang, Xia Yun's phone is off, I can't reach her. I'm afraid she might be in trouble too..."
Fan Ning quickly called Qin Fang to inform him, and by that ti, Qin Fang had already arrived at Fan Ning's place. The two drove straight to the Nancheng Sub-bureau.
The Nancheng Sub-bureau was in charge of the southern part of the city, including the college town area. However, when Qin Fang and his group arrived, they were denied entry. The police made a brief record of Qin Fang and Fan Ning but refused to let them see Xiao Nan.
Another piece of news was that Xia Yun hadn't been arrested, but no one knew where she had gone.
After considering for a mont, Qin Fang decided to call Ning Yumo.
"Qin Fang, what made you think of calling today? I'm working right now; if you have sothing to say, make it quick..." Ning Yumo answered quickly, but the noise on her end suggested she was busy with sothing.
"Sister Ning, I'm here to ask for your help in saving soone's life. It's like this..." Qin Fang briefly explained Xiao Nan's situation to Ning Yumo.
"Now the Nancheng Sub-bureau suspects Xiao Nan of drug trafficking. I'm here, but I can't even see Xiao Nan's face, and I wanted to ask if you have any connections..."
"Xiao Nan trafficking drugs? Impossible! Wait a mont, I'll ask for you..."
It wasn't just Qin Fang who didn't believe Xiao Nan would be involved in drug trafficking. When Ning Yumo heard this news, she also believed it to be a misunderstanding. She had soone look into Xiao Nan's background, who is actually a rich second-generation kid and a hobody, surely not soone who would deal drugs.
"Alright, I'm counting on you then, Sister Ning!"
Hearing Ning Yumo say this, Qin Fang was naturally overjoyed. Although her involvent didn't guarantee Xiao Nan's release, it at least should make it possible for Qin Fang to see him.
"Honestly, who is this Sister Ning anyway? Another one of your sweethearts?"
Qin Fang hadn't avoided Fan Ning when making the call. Fan Ning heard how close Qin Fang and Ning Yumo sounded when they spoke, and she couldn't help feeling a bit jealous, imdiately pinching Qin Fang's ear as a threat.
"Is this really the ti to be jealous... Sister Ning is my god-sister, it's not as complicated as you think!"
Qin Fang couldn't help but glare at Fan Ning, clearly a bit annoyed as he explained.
Fan Ning felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing the explanation. Although she'd said she didn't mind Qin Fang being involved with other won, she would still harbor a small grudge if she knew about it. However, she quickly got over it and waited with Qin Fang for news.
"Qin Fang, go pick up Xiao Nan. It's all a misunderstanding, nothing serious..."
Soon Ning Yumo's call ca through, and the issue was resolved just like that. Even Qin Fang found it incredibly hard to believe. The sub-bureau had made it sound so serious earlier, as if Xiao Nan's supposed cri of drug trafficking was grave enough for the death penalty. Yet with just a simple phone call from Ning Yumo, they released him. Clearly, the matter was not so simple!
"Sister Ning, tell the truth, is there sothing fishy about this?"
After hesitating, Qin Fang couldn't resist asking. Without a doubt, Xiao Nan had been frad, but he hadn't been in Ninghai for long, mostly staying around the school, so it didn't make sense for him to offend anyone. Yet, he didn't co back last night and was suddenly taken to the station, accused of drug trafficking.
"Qin Fang, don't ask about it, it's a misunderstanding!"
Ning Yumo sighed softly on the other end, still advising Qin Fang not to stir up trouble, guessing that there was indeed sothing fishy about the whole deal.
"Sister Ning, I still hope you can tell the truth. I can't let my brother suffer an injustice... Second Brother, how could you..."
While they were talking, Qin Fang saw Xiao Nan being thrown out of the Nancheng Sub-bureau by several policen or, to put it more accurately, being dumped outside with a swollen face. The night must have been tough on him, judging by his appearance.
"Second Brother, are you okay?"
Qin Fang and Fan Ning hurried over to help Xiao Nan up, only to find that he had fainted. When Qin Fang touched him, Xiao Nan's body shivered slightly. Qin Fang imdiately used his Scouting Skill, and the result was minor injuries...
Lifting up Xiao Nan's shirt, they discovered clear signs of electric shock torture. It was evident how he had made it through the night.
"Let's go, get him to the hospital quickly..."
Although Qin Fang could perform The Nine Revival Needles, the situation was beyond his help. Not sure about the severity of Xiao Nan's injuries, he didn't want to waste any ti and imdiately took him to the closest Nancheng District People's Hospital.
"Sister Ning, you have to tell who Xiao Nan has offended to end up like this! If you won't say it, I will find out myself. If I find out who that bastard is, I definitely won't let him off..."
Upon reaching the hospital, Qin Fang had Fan Ning arrange for Xiao Nan's treatnt and hospitalization, while he decided, after so thought, to still call Ning Yumo. Even when she hesitated, Qin Fang insisted with absolute determination.
"Qin Fang, this is a complicated issue. Xiao Nan offended soone, and the Nancheng Sub-bureau took action against him on that person's behalf. Let it go and don't look into it; it will do you no good..."
Hearing Qin Fang speak so resolutely, Ning Yumo imdiately beca anxious. She knew the kind of person Qin Fang was; once he set his mind on sothing, he would stop at nothing to achieve it. Nevertheless, she still revealed a bit about the circumstances of Xiao Nan's false accusation.
The revelation wasn't too different from what Qin Fang suspected, but Ning Yumo's attitude was a surprise, seemingly in quite a difficult position.
"Sister Ning, I don't want to trouble you, but Xiao Nan is my brother. He helped out when I was at my lowest point, and I can't just ignore what happened to him. Tell , who is behind this?"
Qin Fang was telling the truth. Xiao Nan had helped him expand Fang Feixue and had generously assisted him with money when he needed it. Not to ntion their close relationship from usual interactions.
Ning Yumo was silent for a while, and eventually, she struggled to reveal a na, clearly leaning towards Qin Fang's side in this matter.
"Ye Xiang, the son of Ye Heng, head of the city's Public Security Bureau..."
