At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Shangguan Ao, who just a moment ago was arrogant and ready to kill someone at the drop of a hat, but now was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, being lifted off the ground by Qin Fang with just one hand clutching his neck!

With his neck being choked, a strong sense of suffocation quickly came over Shangguan Ao, who could only weakly reach out to grab Qin Fang's hand, trying to pry it open.

Unfortunately, his strength was not enough to affect Qin Fang in any way. Qin Fang's hand was as hard as iron, no matter how he clawed or scratched, it had no effect at all. Qin Fang was even smiling pleasantly as he watched Shangguan Ao struggle…

"Let go of the Young Master…"

Shangguan Ao was thus caught in Qin Fang's hands. While Shangguan Ao struggled, his bodyguards, the Blade Guards, certainly wouldn't stand by idly.

Even though they realized that even if they joined forces, they still would not be Qin Fang's match, unable to even hinder him…

But they were Shangguan Ao's bodyguards, and if Shangguan Ao was killed in front of them, they wouldn't have any life left to live.

That's precisely why, even knowing Qin Fang was much stronger, they still chose to attempt a rescue…

Qin Fang, however, simply gave a calm smile, not looking at the incoming blades behind him, merely lifting Shangguan Ao's body slightly and then applying a bit more pressure with his hand.

"Uh… uh…"

Then they saw Shangguan Ao's face, originally a light bluish-purple, turn into a dark purplish hue, looking exceedingly miserable.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Ao could do nothing to resist; he could only claw feebly with his hands, his feet hanging off the ground kicking powerlessly, unable to reach the ground!

"You…"

The Blade Guards' faces turned extremely grim, restraining their actions, their cold faces now flushed red from anger.

Though they appeared simple, it did not mean they couldn't think. Qin Fang's actions were entirely for their benefit to see…

Even though Qin Fang seemed to leave himself open to their attacks, as soon as they got close enough to threaten him, Qin Fang could undoubtedly kill Shangguan Ao right away and still retreat easily… This was the immense gap between both parties.

"What about me?"

Qin Fang seemed completely unaware of the pair's expressions, casually smiling.

Yet as the Blade Guards withheld their actions, he no longer troubled Shangguan Ao. If he kept squeezing like this, Shangguan Ao's life might really be lost…

Qin Fang had promised Tang Cheng that there wouldn't be any fatalities, so he definitely wouldn't kill here, at least not in front of so many people.

Furthermore, if Qin Fang truly wanted to kill Shangguan Ao, he wouldn't do it so openly. He had numerous ways to kill Shangguan Ao without anyone linking it back to him.

The Blade Guards didn't dare to make a sound. They realized from Qin Fang that he was indeed someone who dared to kill, and his hands weren't clean of blood!

Facing such a formidable opponent, they had no chance of winning and didn't dare make any rash moves, fearing Qin Fang might kill Shangguan Ao suddenly.

However, they didn't dare leave either; they could only stay alert, though utterly helpless, glaring at Qin Fang.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll be going… As for him, didn't he say just now that he's going to kill me? I'll give him that chance and take him along!"

Qin Fang had no time to waste glaring back at them; seeing the Blade Guards not making any moves, not even intending to call for reinforcements, he decided to escalate the situation, speaking casually, as if dragging a dead dog, he walked out of the club with Shangguan Ao.

"Wait…"

Seeing Qin Fang about to leave with Shangguan Ao, the Blade Guards turned pale and instinctively shouted, hastily following and directly blocking Qin Fang's path.

"What? Want to fight?"

Qin Fang stood calmly, smiling nonchalantly, but with a slight increase in grip strength, Shangguan Ao let out a miserable scream.

With this move, the Blade Guards dared not strike. They knew they couldn't beat Qin Fang, but neither could they let him leave.

"Alright, don't kill him..."

Perhaps seeing it was almost time, Tang Cheng intervened, appearing as the mediator.

He was all smiles, seemingly having forgotten that the conflict between Qin Fang and Shangguan Ao was because Shangguan Ao hit him and then arrogantly boasted… even threatening lives, yet Tang Cheng amiably took Shangguan Ao from Qin Fang's hands, dusting off his clothes, the scene altogether looking exceptionally amicable.

Qin Fang wasn't bothered much, he just smiled blandly and didn't further trouble Shangguan Ao... Contrarily, Shangguan Ao was panting heavily and looked bewilderedly at Tang Cheng, not understanding why he was helping him!

"You... what do you want?"

Despite Shangguan Ao's arrogance, he wasn't completely brainless. Looking at Tang Cheng's smiling face, he felt increasingly uneasy, and asked hesitantly.

"What do I want? I don't want anything..."

Tang Cheng seemed indifferent, his smile unwavering as if he were just a mediator.

"By the way, your surname is Shangguan, right?"

Then, Tang Cheng's expression changed slightly, but he continued to smile and asked, "Do you know Shangguan Tianlong?"

"Ugh..."

This was the second time today that Shangguan Ao heard someone mention his surname, and the names they brought up were different yet familiar.

"You… who exactly are you?"

Looking at Tang Cheng's face, Shangguan Ao felt a deep sense of foreboding and asked, with fear evident in his eyes.

"Who am I... Haha, you're just an ordinary person!"

Tang Cheng chuckled, unconcerned, and spoke, having shed his military uniform, he just appeared more imposing.

But usually, he kept a poker face, making people feel he was inscrutable. Yet he managed to blend in the Capital City, once infamous for his extravagant lifestyle, which he only shed after joining the military.

If provoked, his temper could be quite troublesome, far more forceful than a fool like Shangguan Ao.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Ao was foolish enough to stir Tang Cheng's old extravagant temper. Seeing Tang Cheng display a different demeanor from usual, Qin Fang smiled as he stepped aside, knowing Tang Cheng would have ways to deal with this fool Shangguan Ao.

Tang Cheng claimed he was a regular person, but in fact, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Uncle, it's me, Tang Cheng... wanted to talk about something. Do you remember Shangguan Tianlong? Heard he's quite formidable. With some commotion in the Golden Triangle recently, I think sending him would be suitable!"

The call connected quickly, and Tang Cheng walked slowly, dragging Shangguan Ao, talking leisurely to the person on the call while moving out.

Shangguan Ao was initially clueless about what was happening but upon hearing about the Golden Triangle, his expression drastically changed.

"It's not much really, just bumped into his son in Jiangzhou. This kid was yelling threats, almost hurting me and Xiao Qin... so, you get it!"

Tang Cheng concluded the call with the Eldest Uncle of the Tang family with a smile, slowly returning to Shangguan Ao, whose face appeared exceptionally eerie with alternating shades of blue and white.

"Your surname is Tang?"

Tang Cheng simply eyed Shangguan Ao, who stared back intently. After a moment, Shangguan Ao asked in disbelief.

Tang Cheng smiled, shrugged, and said nothing, but his expression said it all. Coincidentally, Qin Fang walked over and remarked, "Brother Tang, it's getting late, time to go..."

"Kid, I'll be leaving now, take care... next time, luck might not be this kind!"

Tang Cheng nodded, as he had to return to the National Exhibition Center. Thus, he couldn't linger too long, and the time had come to leave.

But before leaving, Tang Cheng gently patted Shangguan Ao's shoulder, with a smile, and strode away.

"Take care..."

Qin Fang followed Tang Cheng, also gently patting Shangguan Ao's shoulder and then floated away...

Left alone on the spot was Shangguan Ao staring blankly, while Blade Guard's personnel approached, guarding him without a word.

Shangguan Tianlong is the arrogant father of Shangguan Ao, and the brother of Shangguan Tianling who Qin Fang eliminated, previously an Elder of the Heavenly Pool Sect.

However, Shangguan Tianlong didn't stay with the Heavenly Pool Sect but joined the national machinery, becoming an influential figure in the Security Bureau, overseeing Jiangzhou's safety affairs and supervising those of the neighboring Jiangnan and Huxi provinces as well, holding considerable power within the bureau.

Such experts joining the Security Bureau can grasp some power, particularly those responsible for significant regions are notably influential...

However, possessing power comes with substantial risk as extremely dangerous missions often need their resolution...

Very unfortunately, the boss of the Tang family, Tang Cheng's uncle, heads the Security Bureau, responsible for assigning these risky figures...(to be continued.
