Qin Fang walked out with Akao Ryota in his hand; at this moment, this old man had practically lost half his life, lying limp in Qin Fang's grasp like a dead dog.

"Wait a moment..."

Just then, Xu Yuanshan also reacted a bit, almost instinctively calling out.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Xu?"

Qin Fang paused slightly in his steps, then turned his face, asking calmly.

Originally, he could have just walked out openly, but this Chairman Xu is considered a rather reputable social elite, so Qin Fang still had some respect for his actions and gave him some face.

"It's nothing much, I just want to ask, have we met somewhere before?"

Xu Yuanshan was also somewhat surprised looking at Qin Fang. Clearly, he was a bit astonished by Qin Fang's attitude. However, he quickly recovered, not even glancing at the unlucky guy, Akao Ryota, held by Qin Fang, but looking instead at Qin Fang's young face, asking rather peculiarly.

"I think Mr. Xu might have made a mistake; we've never met before..."

Qin Fang shrugged, stating confidently.

While he had heard of Xu Yuanshan's name a long time ago, it was just hearsay; he had never actually met him.

Furthermore, at this charity banquet, although Xu Yuanshan was the organizer and initiator, he would only make an appearance after the banquet started, and his appearance would definitely not last long.

Qin Fang had just arrived here not long ago. If it weren't for these assassins from Japan sneaking in, Qin Fang would only have been able to catch a glimpse of Xu Yuanshan from afar once the banquet began, let alone talk face-to-face like this...

"No..."

Xu Yuanshan shook his head, thinking he seemed to have met Qin Fang, yet upon careful thought, couldn't recall, showing a hint of helplessness on his face. "Ah, getting old, the mind isn't as sharp... Young man, what's your family name?"

"No need for formality, the surname is Qin, from Jiangnan Ninghai..."

Qin Fang was taken aback for a moment but proceeded to introduce himself.

This charity banquet was formal, and since he was attending using his true identity, there was no need to hide his name.

"Surname Qin, from Ninghai..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's introduction, Xu Yuanshan slightly furrowed his brow, increasingly feeling that this name sounded familiar.

"Are you Qu Zhenhang's nephew? Elder Master Qu's grandson?"

Xu Yuanshan didn't recall, but the elderly man sitting beside him, appearing in his early sixties, suddenly blurted out a question.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, even Qin Fang was slightly surprised, looking at the old man with some astonishment. He hadn't expected someone to recognize him.

Many people actually knew that Qin Fang was Elder Master Qu's grandson; the social elites in Hong Kong Island had mostly seen him.

After all, during the old lady's grand birthday celebration, Qin Fang had really made a name for himself; it was impossible for people not to remember him.

At that event, nearly all the older and middle-aged generations of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong knew Qin Fang, only some of the younger ones and a few not at the top level didn't recognize him, but they weren't many.

Given that this person could straightaway mention his relation to the Qu Family, it was clear he was one of the guests attending the old lady's grand celebration...

However, there were too many people at the time, and Qin Fang's stay there wasn't long, so he couldn't possibly recognize all of them, maybe only some familiar business moguls like Superman, Shipping King, and such, but didn't pay attention to others.

But those who could reach the top floor at that time were without exception the tycoons from Hong Kong Island and the surrounding areas, all legends of the business world, and those a bit lacking couldn't even show their faces up there.

Since this person knew Qin Fang's identity and was now sitting with Jiangzhou tycoon Xu Yuanshan talking, it showed that his identity was very exceptional as well.

Qin Fang even carefully observed this elderly gentleman's appearance and indeed found him somewhat familiar...

"Elder, may I know your surname?"

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment, unable to resist asking, as he vaguely thought of someone but wasn't sure.

"The old man humbly bears the surname Hu..."

The old man said with a faint smile on his face, appearing very calm.

"Uh..."

Hearing the old gentleman mention his own surname, Qin Fang finally linked this person in front of him with the one he had been guessing.

"Hello, Uncle Hu..."

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Fang still greeted the old gentleman politely, because although this person was old enough to be his grandfather, in terms of seniority, he was only one generation above Qin Fang.

The person in front of him was considered one of the most well-known figures on Hong Kong Island, and also the head of the Hu family, one of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong.

Almost everyone in Hong Kong knew him, as he was both a provider and landlord for many people on the island. However, for people from the Inland, his fame was not particularly high, sometimes even less than that of his sons...

But for the older generation, it was completely different, especially his father, who was a legendary figure known as a Red-capped Merchant...

Although Hu Wanshan didn't have the grand strategies of his father, his personal capabilities were quite formidable. He had strengthened the already vast Hu Corporation several times over. Although the past few years have been somewhat downhill, it is still formidable.

"Hmm, not bad... Truly a hero born of youth. No wonder even that girl Jiajia is getting the short end from you!"

Looking at Qin Fang, Hu Wanshan smiled lightly with a very kind and elder-like demeanor, treating Qin Fang as a very good junior.

However, what he said left Qin Fang slightly surprised, but soon he also gave a wry smile.

Hu Wanshan had three sons and a daughter. While those three sons weren't exceptionally outstanding, their fame was considerable, often involved in scandals with some female stars from the sports and entertainment industries, and the eldest son was about to marry a world champion...

Qin Fang had some simple interactions with these three, but there wasn't any deep connection, as they weren't on the same wavelength and couldn't find even a bit of common ground.

However, Qin Fang did have a little awkward encounter with Hu Wanshan's only daughter, Miss Hu Jiajia, as she owed Qin Fang a bet... to accompany him for a month!

Of course, this bet was nothing more than a joke at the time, at most just a little farce for Qin Fang, which he didn't really care about.

But Jiajia herself felt embarrassed to meet Qin Fang, as it was quite what one might call embarrassing for a beautiful maiden to suddenly lose a bet like that... She even started avoiding Qin Fang later on.

Qin Fang had almost forgotten about this, but didn't expect to run into Hu Jiajia's father, Hu Wanshan, here, and that this gentleman would voluntarily bring up his only daughter. How could Qin Fang's expression not be awkward?

"I'm just somewhat capable, that's all. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Being spoken about by someone else's father like that, Qin Fang couldn't feel more awkward, but he couldn't really take the bet seriously, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Jiajia is here too, probably outside. You young people should get together more when you have the chance..."

Hu Wanshan seemed to have noticed Qin Fang's embarrassed predicament and immediately smiled, briefly telling Qin Fang.

"Xiaolajiao is here too..."

Hearing this news, Qin Fang also felt a bit speechless.

He didn't have much of a relationship with Xiaolajiao, and because of the bet, things were a bit tense between them.

He hadn't expected Xiaolajiao to not stay put on Hong Kong Island but to follow her father to Jiangzhou, and coincidentally, Qin Fang ran into Hu Wanshan while saving Xu Yuanshan.

"Sure, sure..."

Even though he wasn't too enthusiastic about running into Xiaolajiao, Qin Fang couldn't show it at that moment and merely smiled awkwardly, responding casually.

"Uncle Hu, Chairman Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading out first..."

At this point, Qin Fang no longer felt like staying, firstly because there was nothing to discuss, and secondly, he still had this half-dead little Japanese, Akao Ryota, to deal with!

"Go on, then..."

Xu Yuanshan said nothing, but Hu Wanshan spoke on his behalf, waving his hand to bid Qin Fang goodbye. "Don't you run off, young man. I plan to have a few drinks with you when the banquet starts..."

The old man seemed to realize Qin Fang planned to sneak off, and with a mischievous smile, added another sentence, making Qin Fang appear quite helpless.

The elder had spoken, so as a junior, Qin Fang certainly couldn't show any disrespect, nor deny the chance to drink with such a legendary figure on Hong Kong Island.

But thinking about running into Miss Hu later, he really wasn't thrilled, even truly considering sneaking away a moment ago...

After saying goodbye to the two elders, Qin Fang took the half-alive Akao Ryota and walked out through a side door.

Neither elder had inquired about Akao Ryota throughout, and even though Xu Yuanshan knew Akao Ryota was here to kill him, he didn't ask further, leaving it to Qin Fang to deal with the unfortunate man...

As for how Qin Fang would ultimately handle the little Japanese Ninja, it was not something the two elders needed to worry about. They seemed to believe Qin Fang could manage it by himself...(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
