Chapter 2209 - 1703: The Big Shots from America Arrive!
Third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...
"Phew~~~ Finally back!"
When Qin Fang and Xu Jiao successfully landed in Hong Kong Island, they let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally breathing fresh air again..."
Looking at the sea and sky surrounding them, Xu Jiao also showed a rare bright smile. They had been sailing underwater for a long time, and finally saw the sun again.
The most important thing is... facing the missile threat, they not only escaped successfully but also sank the enemy's warship!
They specifically watched the warship gradually sinking from the seabed at that time... There's absolutely no mistake.
As for those soldiers from Lu Song, that's not something Qin Fang and Xu Jiao need to concern themselves with. If they survive, it's their luck; if not, it's just their misfortune... Both Qin Fang and Xu Jiao know very well who sent that warship.
Other than the Tian Nan Lu Family, they couldn't think of anyone else with such means.
The Tian Nan Lu Family's influence in Southeast Asia is very large. They have infiltration in various countries' military and political forces. Deploying a warship is simply not a big deal... As long as it's done beautifully, no one will cause trouble.
Of course, this event has now gone wrong... Someone might be in trouble now. Such a loss is not something a government official can just cover up.
However, this is a mess that the Lu Family needs to clean up. It has nothing to do with Qin Fang and Xu Jiao, so they naturally wouldn't care.
"Let's find some friends first, and then inform the old master so they won't worry too much!"
Now that they have arrived in Hong Kong Island, everything is naturally safe. Even the Lu Family probably wouldn't think they've arrived safely in Hong Kong Island.
However, the Lu Family doesn't have news of Qin Fang and Xu Jiao, and the Xu Family is the same.
The pilot must have already relayed this message back to the Xu Family. If they don't inform them soon, who knows what chaos might ensue... They might even go to settle scores with the Lu Family.
Upon reaching Hong Kong Island, Qin Fang naturally immediately contacted Qu Da and Kong Er. This is their territory, making some arrangements quite convenient.
Though he and Xu Jiao are safe, to avoid unnecessary troubles, Qin Fang plans to sneak into the city and then sneak out... Meanwhile, let the Lu Family slowly gather intelligence.
With the arrangements made by Qu Da and Kong Er, Qin Fang and Xu Jiao quickly settled in, and Old Master Xu also received Xu Jiao's message, finally feeling more at ease... Though he didn't plan to share this news with the Xu Family, letting them remain anxious and busy.
The Xu Family even dispatched several rescue teams to search and salvage in that sea area... As if Qin Fang and Xu Jiao never escaped.
And so, under the cover of various personnel, Qin Fang and Xu Jiao boarded a plane back to the Mainland of the Dragon Country unnoticed, returning to Jiangzhou.
Originally, Qin Fang planned to return directly to Ninghai, but coincidentally, Tang Feifei and the girls went traveling, while Chu Yunxuan had matters to attend to in Jiangzhou, so he came here first...
"You scoundrel, you're finally back..."
This time apart was a bit long, and when Chu Yunxuan saw Qin Fang, her charming eyes immediately welled up with tears that flowed down uncontrollably, making Qin Fang feel particularly heartbroken.
"You worked hard..."
Gently embracing Chu Yunxuan, he lightly patted her smooth back, comforting her tenderly.
Qin Fang was a hands-off manager, never minding anything... The recently established Pharmaceutical Group was almost entirely supported by Chu Yunxuan.
If it weren't for Qiao Zhenfei's assistance, helping Qin Fang find professional managers to manage the company, it might have already collapsed... Chu Yunxuan was good at research, but not at running a company.
She knew the company was Qin Fang's passion, she bit her teeth and persevered, but only she knew the hardships.
When Qin Fang saw her, he clearly noticed she had become thinner and more haggard, which made him feel even more distressed...
"Let those managers handle the company matters, there's no need to do everything yourself... If your health suffers, I'll feel heartbroken! Look, even these little bunnies have gotten smaller..."
Embracing Chu Yunxuan, Qin Fang spoke with concern, even playfully teasing her.
"You scoundrel... What are you saying, there're people around!"
Chu Yunxuan was immediately embarrassed by Qin Fang's cheeky comment, though they were already like an old married couple, saying such things privately was fine, but there were others present.
"It's okay, it's just among ourselves..."
Qin Fang grinned, not caring as he responded.
Of course, it was someone close to him, and naturally, it was Xu Jiao who came along with Qin Fang. Although her face was also flushed with embarrassment at the moment, she was relatively calm, as she was, after all, a grandmaster-level expert.
"Jiaojiao sister, welcome to Jiangzhou!"
Knowing Xu Jiao's identity, Chu Yunxuan was extremely enthusiastic, genuinely sincere rather than just pretending, truly treating Xu Jiao warmly.
She was the only woman who knew almost all of Qin Fang's secrets. Although she was just a concubine, she was very content with this identity, quickly accepting Qin Fang's other women.
"Yunxuan sister..."
Women are very peculiar creatures; they can quickly establish deep friendships or become bitter enemies in a short time... Obviously, the scene in front was the former, as Chu Yunxuan and Xu Jiao quickly hit it off, like close sisters, even leaving Qin Fang aside.
"It's good you came back now; your friends have been looking for you forever... If you stay missing much longer, they might tear the company down!"
After the pleasantries were exchanged, it was time to talk business.
"Those folks, I'll handle them... You go enjoy yourselves!"
It was just Qiao Zhenfei and the others looking for him, seemingly due to some incident. Qin Fang had already gotten news earlier, but he was busy then and couldn't attend to it, thus delaying everything.
Xu Jiao had Chu Yunxuan's company, wandering leisurely around Jiangzhou... Women, it was all about dining, shopping, pampering, and so forth; Qin Fang was too lazy to get involved, directly calling Qiao Zhenfei to arrange the time and place.
Xu Jiao was a grandmaster sword cultivator; in Jiangzhou City, people who could pose a threat to her could be counted on one hand. Although Chu Yunxuan's strength was slightly inferior, she was a master-level ninja, and not someone ordinary people could mess with.
Together, if anyone dared to cause trouble, there was no doubt they'd suffer, so Qin Fang felt at ease, leaving them alone as he attended the gathering organized by Qiao Zhenfei.
The gathering was held at a newly opened club in Jiangzhou, quite high-end, definitely not below the former Drunken River South... After Boss Kui's unexpected death, the Green Gang's power suffered severely, and Drunken River South changed ownership, becoming less prosperous.
Coincidentally, a powerful figure arrived in Jiangzhou, establishing this elite club... Not long after opening, it quickly became the top club in Jiangzhou, overshadowing several old establishments.
Though it was Qin Fang's first time here, Qiao Zhenfei was already waiting at the entrance, avoiding any embarrassment of not being able to enter without a membership card.
"Old Qin, you finally showed up... I've missed you!"
Seeing Qin Fang, Qiao Zhenfei immediately gave him a bear hug to express his long-standing yearning.
"Third Brother, can we not do this? I'm not into that... So go find someone else!"
Qin Fang quickly joked with a smile.
"Get lost..."
Which earned a rolling eye and a laugh from Qiao Zhenfei.
"Come on, let me introduce you to a few friends..."
Their friendship was solid, just a playful interaction, naturally not taken seriously, and Qiao Zhenfei immediately took Qin Fang inside. Judging by his serious demeanor, those people he was about to introduce seemed to have quite extraordinary identities.
"What's their background? So arrogant they don't even give you face..."
However, a few minutes later, Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei walked out with gloomy faces, prompting Qin Fang to ask curiously.
Not long before, Qiao Zhenfei had led Qin Fang into a small building where they met several young men in their twenties and thirties. Surprisingly, these guys seemed quite proud, ignoring Qin Fang and even not giving much face to Qiao Zhenfei.
"From over in America... Their families are powerful there, and have very good connections with influential figures in the country! These few are direct heirs of those families..."
Qiao Zhenfei's face was grim, but he managed to give a brief introduction to Qin Fang about their identities.
"From America?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was a little stunned.
Those young men were all Chinese... not the fake foreigners kind, at least they were fluent in Mandarin, suggesting their families hadn't completely 'westernized,' preserving some national essence.
Yet, what truly surprised Qin Fang was not the young men themselves, but their bodyguards, who seemed quite problematic... coming from several different factions unexpectedly.
"Demon Sect, Righteous Path, and Beastmen alongside Western Dark Knights... This is a real mishmash!"
With scouting skills, he saw more clearly than most people. Although those bodyguards might have masked their identities well, they were still recognized by Qin Fang... And the more it looked like this, the more bizarre it felt to Qin Fang.
Usually, when people from these groups met, they'd go straight to fighting, but now they were coexisting peacefully... This seemed quite unusual, making it impossible for Qin Fang not to notice.
