I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Not long ago, I tricked a business competitor named Li Jiangliu, and he suffered heavy losses."

"I think Li Jiangliu can't swallow this insult. These assassins must be the ones he hired from the Western Frontier to get revenge on me!"

Bai Yutang sighed deeply, "One should be lenient when one can. I went too far and brought this trouble upon myself."

"Western Xinjiang?" Qin Ge squatted down, pried open the assassin's mouth, and examined it carefully for a long time.

He hesitated for a moment, rubbed a smear of blood on his fingertip, and then smelled it under his nose.

Bai Yutang, finding this strange, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qin, have you discovered something?"

Qin Ge straightened up. "The poison in this assassin's mouth is extremely potent; it kills instantly upon contact with blood."

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the ingredients in the poison seems to be made from raw materials that are abundant in western Xinjiang."

Bai Yutang was astonished. "Brother Qin, you know all this?"

"I almost forgot, it was you, Brother Qin, who personally treated Miss Yang when she was injured. I suppose your medical skills must be exceptional."

......

Three days later, Bai Yutang came again.

"Brother Qin, I've come today to ask you for a favor."

He has come here many times in the past three days, running to Qin Ge's place whenever he has free time, bringing many valuable gifts, and wishing he could just stay here.

Qin Ge didn't mind. She felt that getting along with Bai Yutang was not bad. Talking with him always gave her a pleasant feeling.

Bai Yutang's profound knowledge greatly benefited Qin Ge, truly deserving the title of "good teacher and helpful friend".

However, it was precisely because of this that Qin Ge felt increasingly uneasy. As a friend, Bai Yutang was far too perfect, so perfect that it seemed unreal.

Even now, Qin Ge hasn't seen a single flaw in Bai Yutang. Is there really such a perfect person in the world?

"We're so familiar with each other, there's no need to be so polite."

"What is it? Tell me!"

Qin Ge was genuinely surprised that Bai Yutang had taken the initiative to ask him for help.

"Li Jiangliu has come to Liuguang Island." Bai Yutang said in his usual gentle manner. "I've arranged to meet with him; things always need to be resolved."

"However, he is a rather dangerous person, and Mr. Cheng's injuries have not fully healed. I would feel more at ease if Brother Qin were here to oversee things."

In the evening, Qin Ge and Bai Yutang boarded a large yacht, with only Cheng Feng accompanying them.

Qin Ge joked, "Brother Bai, you invited Li Jiangliu to meet in a place like this, do you think he'll dare to come?"

"If you've set an ambush on the yacht, he'll have no choice but to jump into the sea!"

Bai Yutang smiled calmly, "Brother Qin is joking. If I wanted to kill him, there would be no need for me to meet with him."

"The death of Li Jiangliu will not eliminate his influence in the Western Frontier. My troubles will remain, and they will only become greater."

"Therefore, I have no need to kill him. If Li Jiangliu can see this, he will definitely come. If he can't, then there's no need for me to negotiate with him!"

"Besides, he's very arrogant; danger only excites him, it won't make him back down!"

"Arrogant? He's just a lunatic!" Qin Ge surveyed the yacht's surroundings. "This boat's not bad!"

"It would be a shame if Li Jiangliu were difficult to talk to and a fight broke out on the ship."

Bai Yutang smiled knowingly, "After this matter is over, I'll give this yacht to Brother Qin as payment for your help!"

He looked out to sea. "It seems Li Jiangliu won't be here anytime soon. How about I show Brother Qin around this yacht first?"

The three of them continued on their way, with Bai Yutang patiently and meticulously explaining the function of each level of the yacht to Qin Ge.

This yacht is truly luxurious beyond compare. Qin Ge stood on the top deck, enjoying the sea breeze, and sighed with admiration.

No wonder rich people like to spend money to maintain this impractical thing; it really shows class!

"Let's wait for Li Jiangliu upstairs. Come in and have a seat!"

Bai Yutang stepped into the cabin, followed closely by Cheng Feng.

The top-floor cabin has been transformed into a viewing lounge, with three walls made of transparent glass, except for one wall displaying drinks.

Cheng Feng poured drinks for the two of them, and after chatting for a while, Bai Yutang's phone rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Bai Yutang glanced at his phone, then stood up and walked out of the cabin, with Cheng Feng following closely behind.

Qin Ge didn't think much of it. Ever since he met Bai Yutang, Cheng Feng had been following him like a shadow, and he was already used to it.

"Click—"

"Clang—"

Almost as soon as Bai Yutang and his companion stepped out of the cabin, wall panels suddenly popped up from the floor around Qin Ge's location.

Qin Ge's heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, he heard the crisp sound of mechanical meshing.

The pop-out wall panels connected with the floor and ceiling, forming an enclosed space that trapped Qin Ge inside.

"Despite all the precautions, I still got infected!"

Qin Ge smiled wryly. He had learned a lot from Bai Yutang, who could be considered both a teacher and a friend.

However, he felt that Bai Yutang was like a fog, something he couldn't see through. Therefore, he never fully trusted Bai Yutang, and his association with him was only because he felt it wouldn't do him any harm, and had nothing to do with trust.

Qin Ge wasn't worried that Bai Yutang would harm him, since Cheng Feng was the only one by his side and posed no threat to him.

As long as Qin Ge discovers that Bai Yutang has designs on him, he is confident that he can quickly kill him after Bai Yutang bares his fangs without much trouble.

Qin Ge felt quite regretful, as he secretly hoped to become friends with Bai Yutang, true friends.

"I never expected you to be so good at creating trouble, but will this thing even be able to trap me?"

Qin Ge stepped forward and touched the wall. It was cold to the touch, had a metallic feel, but didn't feel like ordinary steel.

He pushed hard, but the wall didn't budge. He increased the force, but the result was still the same!

"This thing is no ordinary item, Brother Bai! You've really gone to great lengths!"

Qin Ge tapped the surface a few times with the back of her hand, and was about to try harder when Bai Yutang's voice rang out: "Don't waste your energy!"

"This wall is made of a special composite material, making it indestructible."

Have you heard of boron carbide-reinforced titanium alloy composites?

"This is a cutting-edge material used in aerospace and deep-sea exploration equipment. It possesses extremely high strength and toughness, and even the high-pressure environment of the deep sea cannot deform it, let alone human force!"

"It took me a lot of effort to put these things together!"

Qin Ge's gaze sharpened slightly. "You approached me from the very beginning just to get back at me?"

"So, you moved into Villa Flowing Light No. 1 specifically because of me, right?"

Give me a reason!

"You're right!" Bai Yutang said with a hint of smugness. "My name isn't actually Bai Yutang."

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Min Yutang!"
