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

What does it mean for someone to be missing and unable to be found?

"Hey, Master Qiu, you're not going to be protecting Feng Chuxiao and teaming up with him to fool me, are you?"

Qiu Ang knew Qin Ge was joking, and completely ignored his questioning, saying, "Brother Qin, you know what kind of person I am!"

"How could a man as majestic as an eagle do such a thing?"

"Then tell me, how could Tu Jun, a grown man, just disappear without a trace?" Qin Ge gestured for Zheng Qiuyi to pour tea for Qiu Ang.

"Your Shadow Martial Arts Hall's system has way too many loopholes!"

"If there were a few more people like Tu Jun, wouldn't everything be in chaos?"

Zheng Qiuyi obediently did as she was told, not daring to show the slightest temper, just like a maid.

"Who says it isn't..." Qiu Ang paused, looked at the teacup and then at Zheng Qiuyi, his eyes full of surprise.

Brother Qin is really resourceful. In such a short time, he has managed to tame this eldest daughter of the Zheng family so well.

This is not just about pouring a cup of tea. It may be commonplace for ordinary people, but it is completely different for Zheng Qiuyi.

When has a rich young lady like her ever served anyone other than her own family and elders?

Zheng Qiuyi understood Qiu Ang's gaze, awkwardly stepped aside, and dared only curse Qin Ge in her heart.

Qiu Ang pulled himself back to reality. "Brother Qin, I really can't figure it out. What's your opinion on Tu Jun's matter?"

"Who do you think Tu Jun was acting on his behalf? Why did he do this? What was the point?"

"Even if he hadn't happened to run into you and had successfully brought the person back to the Shadow Martial Hall, it wouldn't have made much of a difference, would it?"

"Once he brings the person back to the Shadow Martial Hall, he can't just do whatever he wants with them!"

"I don't know who it is, but it must be related to Mo Cheng!" Qin Ge said without hesitation. "Does Tu Jun really think he'll bring the person back to the Shadow Martial Hall if he tells you?"

"Your system is so broken that he even managed to exploit a loophole to forge orders. After taking the person away, he could easily find some excuse to send the others away and then take the person elsewhere, wouldn't that be a simple matter?"

"This is your problem, you should handle it yourselves. If you find anything out, remember to let me know!"

Qin Ge stood up. "Since you're here, why don't you play chess with Elder Sun here today? I need to go out for a bit!"

With people from the Xuan'an Bureau watching, he didn't think anyone would dare to do anything to Sun Shizheng in broad daylight.

However, since Qiu Ang is here, it's always good to have an extra layer of protection; free labor is no excuse not to use it.

Qiu Ang was displeased. "You want me to guard the door again!"

"I won't do it, because of that bastard Tu Jun. I have too many things to do right now, how can I have time to stay here and watch your house every day!"

"Really no time?" Qin Ge asked thoughtfully. "You gave half of that 30-year-old vintage wine to Feng Chuxiao, right?"

"The other half is mine!"

Qiu Ang's eyes widened. "Why?!"

"Why should I?" Qin Ge suppressed a laugh. "What did you say when we were drinking at the Shadow Martial Arts Hall that day?"

"You said we got along very well, and that you brought out your best wine to entertain me, is that true?"

"Looking back now, the wine we drank back then didn't seem that great, at least we didn't see any thirty-year-old vintages!"

"You've been lying through your teeth, shouldn't you be punished?"

"Also, regardless of the details of Tu Jun's matter, he is indeed a member of your Shadow Martial Hall, isn't he?"

"Just because he betrayed Shadow Martial Hall doesn't mean you can pile all the blame on him and absolve yourselves of any responsibility, does it?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want? If something goes wrong, you can just find someone to take the blame and rest easy!"

"Since your Shadow Martial Arts Hall bears responsibility, as the vice hall master, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"This..." Qiu Ang's lips twitched a few times, then he patted Qin Ge's shoulder, forcing a smile, "Brother Qin, you're being too polite!"

"I misremembered, I'm free today, totally free!"

"Old Feng has already taken care of Tu Jun's matter. I've been idle lately, and it's perfect timing. I haven't seen Old Sun in a while, so I'll go play a couple of rounds with him!"

He took three steps at a time, and before he could finish speaking, he was gone.

"Miss Zheng, prepare the car, let's go!"

"Prepare my foot! The car is parked outside; you can just get in and drive. What more do you need to prepare?"

"uh-huh?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, this way please!"

"That's more like it."

"..."

More than an hour later, the two arrived at a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) club, where a free-fighting competition was being held.

Qin Ge had mentioned to Cai Qingyi earlier that Jiang Chaoning had participated in this competition, and if she remembered correctly, they should have reached the semi-finals today. She wondered if Jiang Chaoning had advanced.

The investigation in Mocheng hasn't yielded any results yet, so I came to see Jiang Chaoning.

His thinking was very clear. Just like when he dealt with the Su family and the Li family in Haicheng, he would first deal with Jiang Chaoning!

Then let Jiang Chaoning take charge of the Jiang family, and beat up anyone who disagrees.

Jiang Chaoning takes charge of the Jiang family, and he takes charge of Jiang Chaoning—it's that simple and brutal!

Zheng Qiuyi glanced around a few times, her delicate eyebrows furrowing. "I thought you really had important business to attend to, but it turns out you just came to watch this kind of spectacle!"

Are you very free?

She kept thinking about Xu Xiaoluo's affairs. In her subconscious, anything that had nothing to do with Xu Xiaoluo was not a serious matter.

I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude!

Qin Ge's gaze swept across the crowd. "If you can't take it, don't force yourself. I'll call Liang Shaohui."

"Or would you transfer me a billion right now?"

Zheng Qiuyi: "......."

Qin Ge's gaze fell on a young woman on the arena. "Watch your words next time. If you talk to me like that again, I'll start charging interest!"

"One billion, ten million in interest per day!"

"Why don't you just rob it!" Zheng Qiuyi followed Qin Ge's gaze and was slightly taken aback when she saw a familiar face on the stage. "Jiang Chaoning?"

Two people were standing on the stage. One of them was a woman wearing a white training uniform, with a tall, slender, and well-proportioned figure.

Her long hair was tied up high, her eyebrows and eyes were cool and aloof, and her delicate, white skin had a faint glow.

Qin Ge asked in surprise, "You know Jiang Chaoning?"

"What's so strange about me knowing her?" Zheng Qiuyi blurted out, then realized, "You know Jiang Chaoning too?"

"You didn't come here just to watch the show, you came for her?"

"Just watching the show?" Qin Ge chuckled. "To borrow a phrase from your earlier comment, do you think I'm that free?"

"Tell me how you met Jiang Chaoning, and how much do you know about her?"

"What do you want to do? You don't mean you want to pursue her, do you?" Zheng Qiuyi, unaware of the situation, felt uneasy.

Wasn't this guy trying to seduce me yesterday? How come he turns around and asks me to help him pursue other girls? What decent person does things like this?
