Upon hearing Tang Cheng's words, Qin Fang just shook his head helplessly. He didn't know much about Devil's Island either, or he wouldn't have been so agitated earlier.

"Devil's Island is a taboo existence even in the underground world. Although many experts are extremely longing for it, the brutality there is beyond anyone's imagination..."

Qin Fang could only briefly explain what he knew.

Although he didn't know where Devil's Island was, he did know a bit about the things on it, as he had talked with the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San for some time.

Tu San was sent by Qin Fang's father, Qin Tiannan, to deliver a message. Perhaps he had guessed that Qin Fang might want to rescue Qin Tiannan.

Perhaps Tu San felt this was very unreliable, but he still explained in detail to Qin Fang all the things he knew about Devil's Island.

And now, Qin Fang was merely repeating Tu San's words to Tang Cheng...

Qin Fang didn't know what the sudden disappearance of a warship was about, but judging from Tang Cheng's reaction and the military's actions regarding Devil's Island, there was likely something fishy that Qin Fang was unaware of!

But Qin Fang didn't plan to get involved. Devil's Island wasn't as simple as it seemed; if it was so easy to deal with, it wouldn't have existed for so many years.

"Brother Tang, you're not planning to..."

After explaining what he knew, seeing Tang Cheng seriously noting it down, Qin Fang couldn't help but ask.

Devil's Island is extremely terrifying and dangerous. Even Grandmaster-level experts may not survive there. For someone like Tang Cheng, who had just entered Grandmaster level, it would be a death sentence...

As for deploying a large-scale naval force, that's also impossible. Although it's a public sea area, there are the Northern Bear Russia and the ever-coveting Japan. Dragon Country wouldn't make such a big move...

So the thing Qin Fang feared most was deploying special forces for a small-scale assault, which would be no different from sending sheep into a tiger's den.

"No, I'm just tasked with investigating some intelligence..."

Luckily, Tang Cheng shook his head. He evidently knew a bit about the secrets of Devil's Island and understood that even though he was quite powerful now, he couldn't survive on Devil's Island.

Moreover, he's a member of the Tang Family, and a specially groomed core member. Carrying out some dangerous tasks is already a form of training... Taking on that mission would be a death sentence!

"That's a relief..."

Hearing Tang Cheng's response, Qin Fang was relieved. After all, Tang Cheng was his future brother-in-law, and if something happened to him, Tang Feifei would definitely be heartbroken.

"Alright, with business done, let's go out for a couple of drinks..."

Putting away the little notebook, a bright smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. He wrapped an arm around Qin Fang's shoulder, and the two of them went out together to drink.

Tang Cheng has a pretty good capacity for alcohol. Among the many "buckets" in the unit, almost none could drink more than him... which sometimes made Tang Cheng a bit frustrated.

Only when drinking with Qin Fang could he enjoy the pleasure of drinking to his heart's content. The only uncomfortable part was that he would always end up getting knocked out by Qin Fang.

But since Qin Fang was his prospective brother-in-law, it wasn't a big deal to get drunk with him, so despite his complaints, Tang Cheng actually quite enjoyed it. As such, whenever he and Qin Fang got together, they often found themselves at the drinking table.

Northern Colorful Club has a Northern style; even the drinking culture is rugged... Even though this is a high-end club, they drink not with small wine glasses or goblets, but with large sea bowls!

Of course, this is for white liquor... If it's red wine, they still use tall glass goblets.

Qin Fang's capacity for alcohol is now quite terrifying. His not often used drinking skill has been leveled up to Grandmaster level, and his drinking ability is despairingly high.

Even without cheating with the Props Box, he could easily take down over five jin of strong white liquor!

Tang Cheng's capacity is also quite impressive. As they drank their Baijiu, two jin went down easily and only then did his face start to flush!

Then they each drank another jin. Qin Fang seemed quite normal, but Tang Cheng was starting to feel a bit light-headed. He had reached his limit, and drinking any more would definitely get him drunk.

"Brother Tang, that's enough, let me take you home..."

Seeing Tang Cheng like this, Qin Fang didn't push to continue drinking, instead helping Tang Cheng up, and the two of them headed out of the club together.

Tang Cheng had drunk quite a bit and his steps were a bit unsteady, but he wasn't dead drunk yet. His consciousness was only slightly muddled, so when Qin Fang said they should go, he didn't refuse and let Qin Fang support him as they walked out...

"I heard you're planning to go to Japan soon..."

On the road, Tang Cheng was still clear-headed enough to chat with Qin Fang, asking about Qin Fang's trip to Japan.

"I plan to, there are some minor things to deal with over there..."

Qin Fang didn't hide anything; besides, this couldn't be kept secret, especially with Tang Feifei, the little spy, around, and Tang Cheng could probably find out. So, Qin Fang admitted it directly.

"Things aren't very peaceful over there lately, be careful yourself..."

Tang Cheng didn't ask much. He knew some things about Qin Fang were not suitable for open discussion, but Qin Fang handled things with great discretion, so he was quite assured.

Moreover, Qin Fang's gunmanship and personal combat skills were extremely formidable and terrifying. Tang Cheng couldn't match him even if he tried, and as long as Qin Fang was a bit cautious, nothing much would happen.

Bang~~

Just before Tang Cheng finished speaking, his body staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily, Qin Fang was quick-eyed and strong-handed, using a bit of strength to steady Tang Cheng.

"Didn't see where you're walking..."

But just as Qin Fang and Tang Cheng found their footing, a man's cursing voice came from the side, extremely rude and overwhelmingly arrogant.

Although Tang Cheng drank a lot and wobbled while walking, with Qin Fang's support, he could still walk steadily.

The reason he almost fell earlier was someone bumped into him unexpectedly. Tang Cheng wasn't prepared for it, which caused the mishap.

Usually, small collisions don't matter much; a polite apology would suffice, and Tang Cheng wouldn't hold a grudge...

But unexpectedly, instead of an apology, what came was such arrogant ridicule, immediately chilling Tang Cheng's face.

"If you can't speak like a normal person, go home and drink some milk..."

Even Qin Fang's face wasn't any better. After all, Tang Cheng was his brother-in-law, and Qin Fang was supporting him when they were bumped, making him already a bit embarrassed. But for the other party to act so bullishly, how could Qin Fang be pleased!

Pfft~~

Qin Fang's retort was quite sharp, and as soon as he said this, someone among the spectators passing by couldn't help but snort!

The guy who was scolded by Qin Fang was slightly stunned, eyes full of surprise, seemingly not expecting someone to dare to scold him like that.

"You dare to scold me?"

This boastful fellow was a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a somewhat presentable appearance, but the way he acted really made him unlikable.

Perhaps he was used to being arrogant, and no one dared to contradict him, which fostered his overbearing attitude.

Being suddenly retorted, the young man, though surprised, also had his face turn very unpleasant, especially noticing the bystanders around him whispering, with their eyes seemingly filled with questions. The young man's face became frighteningly dark!

"Did I scold you? I was just talking about some jerk who doesn't talk like a human..."

Qin Fang seemed completely blind to the young man's expression, continuing leisurely, but his words were even harsher.

If the previous words were indirect insult, this sentence was blatantly slandering the young man to his face!

"You..."

Sure enough, the young man's face turned pitch black, fingers tremblingly pointing at Qin Fang, struggling to even speak due to his anger.

"Blade guards, kill him..."

After taking a slight breath, the young man took a step back, ordering the two people behind him.

Behind him were two sturdy men, with icy expressions almost devoid of emotions. But as they took a step forward, a clang was heard, and two blades were simultaneously drawn, their sounds almost overlapping!

The blades shimmered with a cold glint, striking terror in those who saw them, and the surrounding people were stunned.

"Wait, wait..."

At this point, the club's manager rushed over, yelling as he ran.

"Young Master Shangguan, let's talk this out, talk this out... Can we avoid drawing blades?"

Reaching Qin Fang and the others, the manager didn't even attempt to stop the two swordsmen, but cautiously advised the young man.

It was obvious that this young man had a complex background, and the manager was quite afraid of him. Still, the club was in business, and the patrons were all either wealthy or noble. If something happened, it wouldn't sound good...

Once the club's reputation goes sour, business would be impossible... That's why the manager rushed out to stop it.

Of course, maybe the manager knew that if Young Master Shangguan got angry, he might actually kill someone, and he absolutely couldn't let that happen in the club! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
