Fang Yi said with a laugh, "It’s nothing big, just came to ask for a little favor."
Binnan replied, "Looking at your smiley face, it certainly doesn’t seem like a small favor."
Fang Yi asked, "So, you’re going to refuse?"
Binnan responded, "You’ve come to ask me, how could I refuse?"
Fang Yi proudly said, "Exactly, I’ve been so loyal to you, buying you buns and soy milk. If you refused, that would be too stingy."
Binnan’s gorgeous face darkened as she said, "If you mention those two things again, I’ll really have to ask you to leave."
Fang Yi gave a dry laugh now, "Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, I’m just joking. I’m totally serious."
Binnan stared at him and said, "I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like laughing."
Binnan said, "Alright, enough nonsense. Get to the point quickly."
Fang Yi dropped the slick act and said, "You have connections in Moon City. I want you to help me find out who owns the Sky Blue KTV."
Binnan raised her eyebrows, "What, do you have a grudge against this KTV?"
Fang Yi laughed, "Not at all. Don’t jump to conclusions, I’m not someone who stirs up trouble."
Binnan gave him a doubtful look.
Not someone who stirs up trouble? Yet he managed to break the legs of the fourth young master of the Fang Family?
In fact, Fang Yi had his reasons for not telling Binnan. Ding Miaoyan and the others were already involved, and he didn’t want to drag Binnan into this too. If he did, it would really turn into an amazon brigade.
Fang Yi could hardly imagine what it would look like to have a crowd of women following him while he went about his business.
Unexpectedly, Binnan didn’t press further but said, "Okay, don’t worry, I’ll look into it. I should know by this afternoon."
Fang Yi said, "Good, thanks a lot." With that, he got up to leave.
"Wait a minute," Binnan called out to him.
"Is there something else?"
"I heard you’ve made a bet with Bai Kuang, to have a showdown at Broken Dragon Mountain in a week?" Binnan asked.
"You found out about that..." Fang Yi replied.
"Do you think you can beat him?"
Fang Yi replied with a smile, "Have you ever heard of a level fifty beating a level hundred in a game?"
Binnan frowned, "From what you’re saying, you’d suffer a terrible defeat against Bai Kuang?"
A few black lines immediately appeared on Fang Yi’s forehead, "Are you wishing for my death?"
"Death is too much, but seeing him teach you a lesson would actually make me quite happy," Binnan joked.
Fang Yi left the office.
In the afternoon, Binnan called him to the office and told Fang Yi that the person behind Sky Blue KTV was a man named Hong Cheng, who made his fortune three years ago and was a nouveau riche.
A nouveau riche, Fang Yi thought, and then he made a call to Cai Qin.
"Finally decided to call me?" Cai Qin’s teasing voice came through the phone.
"I haven’t seen you for a day, and it feels like ages. I miss you," said Fang Yi, sounding quite sappy.
Sure enough, Cai Qin impatiently asked, "What do you want?"
So, without mincing words, Fang Yi immediately mentioned the name Hong Cheng and asked her to help investigate Hong Cheng’s connections and background.
Fang Yi had thought a lot. Saving Yao Tong alone wasn’t difficult; rescuing the sisters with her wasn’t difficult either. But the real difficulty lay in the fact that Fang Yi didn’t know how deep the waters ran.
After going through a lot, Fang Yi knew that in Xuan Cang, it wasn’t just about using fists and brute strength to carve out one’s domain. Fists were important, but power and wealth mattered even more.
Previously, Fang Yi could do as he pleased abroad, but he had never come to Xuan Cang because it was a place filled with formidable people. Even the God of Killers Organization had been driven away. What reason did he have to show off in Xuan Cang?
In Xuan Cang, it was common for the government and businessmen to protect each other. Fang Yi was neither vague-minded nor impulsive. Even in anger, he knew to measure his steps wisely to avoid trapping himself, which would truly be unfortunate.
In any case, he had to first figure out the details of that KTV.
After work, Fang Yi dropped Binnan home and didn’t go straight to his house; instead, he headed to the Blue Cloud Bar.
He had been busy helping Binnan deal with the Ren father and son issue and had not visited for a while. He had only briefly informed Bai Jingjing previously, who didn’t really mind.
Upon arriving at the Blue Cloud Bar, Fang Yi was spotted by Jiang Tao, who hastily pulled Luo Xin over.
Both greeted Fang Yi simultaneously.
Fang Yi found a seat and sat down. Jiang Tao immediately brought him a drink. Fang Yi took a couple of sips and lit a cigarette, asking, "How’s everything going?"
Luo Xin straightened up immediately and replied, "Very smooth."
After the incident at the school, Luo Xin had matured a bit and was no longer as timid as before. Fang Yi nodded inwardly. If Luo Xin was still like before, he wouldn’t bother with him anymore and would have directly sent him packing.
"Yes, everything’s going smoothly, you can rest easy, Brother Yi. The Alliance Hierarch knows what we’re up to and is very supportive," Jiang Tao added.
Bai Jingjing? Fang Yi was puzzled but soon understood. Bai Jingjing also came to the bar and found about the task he had given to them, hence she went the extra mile and deployed some manpower to them.
Supporting them meant supporting Fang Yi, and since Fang Yi had helped Bai Jingjing take down the Black Water Alliance, she wanted to return the favor.
"Also, besides the strong support from the Hierarch, we’ve got an inside helper at the school," Luo Xin said.
"An inside helper?" Fang Yi felt a twitch in his heart.
"Yes, Miss Shen Xiaoxiao thought this was quite fun and decided to join too," Luo Xin explained. He was somewhat helpless, knowing Shen Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Fang Yi, and he didn’t dare cross her.
Fang Yi also considered this aspect, but he just felt a headache coming on. That Shen Xiaoxiao was really a handful.
Then Fang Yi asked for more details and dismissed them.
"Fang Yi," a seductive, sweet voice called out.
Fang Yi turned to look and saw Zhou Qing emerging from the crowd.
Zhou Qing’s black, lush hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a tight-fitting red gown that highlighted her voluptuous curves, her charming eyes, and inviting rosy lips exuding an irresistible charm.
"Sister Qing," Fang Yi said with a smile. As Zhou Qing came closer, he pulled her into his embrace.
Zhou Qing, pulled into his lap, let out a soft moan, her body stirring Fang Yi’s desires.
Zhou Qing’s face was full of allure, her eyes seductive as ripples on water, her lips tenderly parting, arousing Fang Yi to the point where he, ignoring her objections, bent down and fiercely pressed his lips against hers.
