While Li Wei was considered a confidant of Prince Hui, Prince Hui's influence within Anbang was largely due to his mother Qiu Qinyun's power, and the number of branches and resources he controlled was far less than An Ruoxi's. Faced with Wu Yufeng and Night Rose, two powerful figures, Li Wei's imposing manner immediately diminished.

"Young Master Wu! Sister Rose!"

Li Wei immediately forced a somewhat stiff smile, quickly walked down the steps, and bowed.

"What brings you two here? Is there... perhaps some misunderstanding?"

He pointed to the two men lying on the ground.

Wu Yufeng put his hands in his pockets and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Misunderstanding? Li Wei, when did you start looking after houses for Prince Hui? And you brought so many 'guests' with you?"

He glanced meaningfully at the brightly lit living room of the villa.

Night Rose didn't speak, but just stared coldly at Li Wei, a look that made Li Wei feel a little uneasy.

Just as Li Wei was about to explain, another figure slowly walked forward from behind Wu Yufeng and Ye Meigui.

The man was wearing an ill-fitting white work shirt from Anbang Group. He was tall and stern, with a cold and stern face. His eyes were calm but possessed a penetrating power that was unsettling.

Qin Luo walked up to Li Wei, his gaze passing over him as if he could already see the scene inside the villa, and spoke calmly.

"Is Fukangxiong inside?"

When Li Wei saw Qin Luo, he was first taken aback, feeling that Qin Luo looked somewhat familiar. Then he suddenly remembered some rumors he had heard recently—a young man named Qin Luo had beaten Buddha into the hospital, forced Fu Yongnian to back down, and was now hunting down Fu Kangxiong all over the city… Could this be the man in front of him?!

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and his smile became even more forced.

"And this...brother is...Fu Kangxiong? Oh, you mean Young Master Fu? He...he's a guest here. However, he's a guest of Young Master Hui, the Crown Prince. Young Master Hui instructed us to ensure Young Master Fu's safety. May I ask what business you have with Young Master Fu? Perhaps...I should inform him first?"

Qin Luo glanced at him, but did not answer his question. He simply said calmly.

"Move aside. Or, I'll tell you to move aside."

Li Wei's smile froze. He glanced at Wu Yufeng and Ye Meigui, and seeing that neither of them spoke up for Qin Luo, nor did they show any intention of stopping him, he immediately understood—these two had come to back up this Qin fellow! And judging from their demeanor, they were up to no good!
He quickly made a mental calculation.

Prince Hui's orders were to protect Fu Kangxiong, to prevent any harm from happening to him, and to prevent anyone from taking him away. Qin Luo was clearly targeting Fu Kangxiong, and Wu Yufeng and Night Rose were openly supporting the other side.

If he were to forcefully stop them, he would likely come out worse off, and might even be punished on the spot. But if he simply gave way, and Prince Hui and Qiu Qinyun blamed him later, he would be in deep trouble...

Just as he was caught in a dilemma and tried to say a few more conciliatory words to negotiate—

Qin Luo made a move!

Without warning, without a word! Just as Li Wei's eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons, Qin Luo's right foot shot out like a venomous snake, striking Li Wei's unsuspecting abdomen with a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect!
"Bam—!"

A deafeningly loud thud! Li Wei's burly body was kicked so hard that his feet left the ground, and he was sent flying backward several meters as if he had been hit by a charging bull. He crashed into the Roman column of the villa's porch before rolling to the ground with a thud!
"Wow--!"

Li Wei lay on the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted. A wave of excruciating pain washed over his entire body. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the ground in front of him red! He curled up, groaning in agony, barely able to lift his head.

Qin Luo strode over, lifted his foot, and gently stepped on Li Wei's face, which was contorted with pain. The sole of his shoe ground against Li Wei's face, the sound of which was calm but carried an undeniable chill.

"Can we go in now?"

Li Wei's face was being stepped on, and he was overwhelmed by humiliation and fear. He finally realized that his skills and reliance were no match for this ruthless star! He had no doubt that if he dared to say "no" again, the other party would crush his head with the next kick!
"Please...please come in..."

Li Wei forced out a few words through gritted teeth, his speech muffled and streaked with blood.

Qin Luo then moved his foot, not even glancing at Li Wei lying on the ground like a dead dog, and walked straight towards the villa gate. Wu Yufeng and Ye Meigui exchanged a glance, a hint of approval in their eyes for Qin Luo's decisive actions, and followed him. Hongxiu and Jiang Ling quickly secured the courtyard with their men and followed him into the villa.

Inside the villa's living room, the music had long since stopped. Fukuo and the group of women had all heard the commotion outside, especially the dull thud and Li Wei's scream. The lewd grin on Fukuo's face had vanished, replaced by suspicion and a hint of panic.

The group of beautiful women were also terrified, their faces pale, and they huddled together, not daring to make a sound.

When Fu Kangxiong saw Qin Luo walk in expressionlessly, followed by Wu Yufeng, Ye Meigui and a large group of people, his face turned ashen, his legs went weak and he almost slid off the sofa!
"Qin...Qin Luo?! You...how did you find this place?!"

Fukuo's voice trembled with fear, and his body involuntarily shrank back.

Qin Luo's gaze fell on him like a cold knife. He didn't answer his question, but simply said...

"Fukuo, the game is over."

What happened next was predictable. With the "assistance" of Wu Yufeng and others, Fu Kangxiong didn't even dare to have a thought of resistance before being dragged off the sofa by two security guards and brought before Qin Luo.

The group of beautiful women were quickly cleared out and led away by Hongxiu and her entourage.

About ten minutes later, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, stopping outside the villa. Leading the team was Liu Yanan, the female police officer who had previously been in contact with Qin Luo and was in charge of investigating Fu Kangxiong's case.

When she saw Fukuoka being led out, looking dejected, she couldn't help but show a hint of relief and joy on her usually serious face.

This cunning playboy repeatedly escaped capture, putting considerable pressure on her and her team.

"Mr. Qin, thank you so much! We owe you so much this time!"

Liu Yanan stepped forward, grasped Qin Luo's hand firmly, and thanked him repeatedly.

Although she didn't know exactly how Qin Luo found and captured Fu Kangxiong, this result undoubtedly helped her and the police a lot.

"Officer Liu, you're too kind. It's just my job."

Qin Luo gave a brief response and formally handed over Fukuoka.

Liu Yanan didn't linger. She took Fu Kangxiong with her and her men and quickly left.

She knew the water was deep and she shouldn't stay there for long.

Watching the police car drive away, Qin Luo nodded to Wu Yufeng, Ye Meigui, and the others.

"Thank you all for your help. I will remember your kindness."

Wu Yufeng laughed heartily.

"Brother Qin, you're too kind! If you need anything in Xishan in the future, just let me know!"

Night Rose nodded slightly, glanced at Qin Luo with a complicated look in her eyes, and said nothing more.

Having finished his business, Qin Luo did not linger. He declined Wu Yufeng's invitation to a thank-you banquet and left the hot spring resort alone. In the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, he found Fu Yichen, who had been waiting for him.

As soon as he got into the Ferrari, Fu Yichen asked impatiently.

"Brother Qin, how's it going? Did they catch that bastard Fukangxiong? Did they send him in?"

Qin Luo fastened his seatbelt and nodded.

"Yes, I've handed it over to the police."

As Fu Yichen started the car, he muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Qin, if you ask me, why bother handing him over to the police? That kind of scum, just..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"It's a clean break, much easier. If we hand him over to the police, who knows if his family will pull some strings to get him out?"

Qin Luo looked at the rapidly receding mountain scenery outside the window, a cold smile curving his lips, and said calmly, "Don't worry, he won't live for more than a few days."

Fu Yichen was taken aback and suddenly turned to look at Qin Luo.

"Brother Qin, you mean...?"

"When I caught him, I had already given him some 'spice'."

Qin Luo spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"It's colorless and odorless, and it won't take effect until seven days later. By then, he'll die silently in a detention center or prison. No one will suspect me, and no one will think it's poisoning."

All the evidence points to him being punished by heaven or an accident because of his past misdeeds or offending someone.

He paused and continued.

“If we kill him on the spot, Li Wei and those women are all witnesses, which will be troublesome to deal with and could easily leave evidence against us. Handing him over to the police and letting him die ‘legally’ in jail is the cleanest and most efficient way.”

Fu Yichen was stunned, a chill inexplicably rising down his spine.

He never expected Qin Luo to be so meticulous and to use such... covert and ruthless methods! It was like selling someone out and then having them count the money for them, leaving them completely unaware of how they died!

"Brilliant! Brother Qin, absolutely brilliant!"

Fu Yichen gave Qin Luo a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, and his respect for Qin Luo deepened even further.

He wisely refrained from pressing for details about the poisoning; that was Qin Luo's secret.

The Ferrari sped through the night, leaving Xishan behind, and headed towards the brightly lit city of Mindu.

After safely escorting Qin Luo back to Mindu Yipin, Fu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. The day had been incredibly eventful, from tracking down Fu Kangxiong to getting caught up in Anbang's internal power struggle, to Qin Luo's swift and decisive capture of his target and subsequent poisoning… every single event had stirred his emotions.

He sat in the car, calmed himself down, took out his phone, and habitually dialed his fiancée Xie Yuting's number, wanting to tell her that he had returned safely.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Fu Yichen frowned and dialed it again.

Still no one answered.

He didn't get the call answered until he called three times.

"Hello? Yichen?"

Xie Yuting's voice came from the other end of the phone. The background seemed somewhat empty, with faint sounds of machinery colliding and soothing music that could be heard.

"Yuting, where are you? Why aren't you answering the phone?"

Fu Yichen asked.

"Oh, I'm at the gym. I was on the treadmill just now. I put my phone in the locker, so I didn't hear it."

Xie Yuting's voice sounded very natural, with a slight panting from exercise.

"Have you finished your business over there? Are you alright?"

"Yes, it's done. I just dropped Brother Qin off at home. I'll head back now."

Fu Yichen had no suspicions.

Why are you going to the gym so late?

"Can't sleep? Come out and stretch your legs. Drive carefully, I'm going to take a shower first."

After Xie Yuting finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Fu Yichen put down his phone, started the car, and drove away from Mindu Yipin. As night deepened, the city's neon lights swallowed his sports car in the flow of traffic.

After hanging up Fu Yichen's call, Xie Yuting's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of tension and displeasure.

She glared at Prince Hui, who was sitting on the opposite chair, leisurely drinking an energy drink, and said in a low voice.

"Keep your voice down! He almost sensed something was wrong!"

Prince Hui shrugged nonchalantly. He was wearing a tight-fitting gym vest that revealed his fairly well-built muscles, but the frivolity and arrogance in his eyes were unmistakable.

Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang urgently.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Li Wei. He frowned, then pressed the answer button.

"Young Master Hui! Something terrible has happened!"

Li Wei's weak and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by painful gasps.

"Fuku... Fukukō Yasuo has been arrested by the police!"

"what?!"

Prince Hui sat up abruptly, his expression changing.

"What happened? Explain yourself! Weren't you watching him?!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Li Wei quickly and clearly recounted everything that had just happened in the villa, including how Qin Luo suddenly broke in, how he severely injured him with a kick, how Wu Yufeng and Night Rose brought people to assist, and the final process of Fu Kangxiong being taken away by the police.

"Qin Luo? It's him again!"

Prince Hui's face darkened, and a hint of fear and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Why would Wu Yufeng and Ye Meigui help him? Aren't they always at odds with us? Could it be that bitch An Ruoxi instructed them?"

Li Wei was panting on the other end of the phone. After hesitating for a moment, he finally voiced his guess.

"Young Master Hui... I... when I was knocked down, I vaguely heard them mention... that the young lady was attacked in the hot spring area... it seems... it seems that Qin Luo saved her... so, Sister Rose and Young Master Wu..."

"An Ruoxi has been assassinated?!"

Prince Hui's voice suddenly rose, startling Xie Yuting, who was standing next to him, who looked over.

His expression shifted rapidly; the news was too sudden and too sensitive! "Who did it?!"

"This...I don't know. But...but the way Rose and the others spoke back then, it seemed...it seemed like they suspected...it was Madam Yun..."

Li Wei's voice grew softer and softer, filled with fear.

"fart!"

Prince Hui flew into a rage and roared into the phone.

"How could my mother do such a thing?! Li Wei, I'm warning you, watch your mouth! If you dare utter a single word out of turn, I'll skin you alive!"

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his heart was in turmoil. An Ruoxi was assassinated? And then Qin Luo saved her? Now, Night Rose, Wu Yufeng, and the others who were An Ruoxi's people were helping Qin Luo capture Fu Kangxiong... The connection between these events made him uneasy. (End of Chapter)
