"Luckily, there's still time..."

Upon seeing the time, Qin Fang was truly relieved, at least there were no issues with the timing.

Qin Fang was most worried that these little devils would make a move after that Japanese woman set the bomb's explosion time, which would be quite troublesome.

"Found it..."

The bomb was found, and while those security guards continued to busy themselves, Qin Fang casually greeted them and then quickly left with the auctioneer's gavel.

The secret of the Props Box was, of course, impossible to reveal in front of so many people. Since there was still enough time, Qin Fang didn't need to be too obvious about it.

However, the head of security's face turned quite awful when he saw the bomb placed inside the auction hammer.

Although he wasn't entirely sure that this little thing was a bomb, just the timer on it made him instinctively think in that direction.

Better safe than sorry.

Qin Fang spoke with certainty, and being a guest at the banquet, the little security head naturally didn't dare to stop him and let Qin Fang quickly leave.

He didn't even follow to protect his own life, but ordered his subordinates to deal with the bribed security guard... Of course, he wouldn't immediately report this to his big boss Xu Yuanshan!

It seemed that Qin Fang escorted the bomb out, and not many people knew about this. Since Qin Fang and others didn't deliberately make a fuss, most guests were still unaware.

Even those few spoiled brats, who vaguely overheard the conversation between Qin Fang and that Japanese woman, couldn't be sure if what Qin Fang said was true.

At most, the timid ones would run away themselves; as for telling others, generally speaking, people wouldn't do such a foolish thing. Most here are either rich or noble, and talking nonsense could have quite a bad impact.

However, the banquet hall wasn't devoid of changes. At least Wu Ling had secretly arranged for people to handle it. The Japanese woman, Akao Ryota, and others were taken away by the police... these people would be directly handed over to National Security, and their final charges wouldn't be light.

Qin Fang didn't bother with this matter for now. Although he couldn't gain experience points from that little devil, Akao Ryota, he didn't really care.

Judging from today's events, these little devils had already stretched their tentacles into the Dragon Country, even going so far as to commit such heinous acts. So, what Qin Fang had to do next didn't require any politeness.

After leaving the banquet hall, he found a secluded place, and Qin Fang directly threw the bomb along with the small auction hammer into the Props Box. This way, all threats were completely neutralized, and a crisis vanished without a trace.

"Were the people sent off?"

When Qin Fang returned, he found that Kong Er and others were already waiting there, but Akao Ryota and several other little devils were gone, so Qin Fang calmly asked.

Actually, he didn't need to ask; he could already guess the answer.

"This matter is a bit troublesome. We better not get involved and leave it to the relevant departments to handle..."

Though the relevant departments are generally considered the least reliable organizations, sometimes their existence is truly necessary, like in this situation.

Qin Fang wasn't bothered by this. The crime those little devils committed was way too severe, and as an ordinary citizen, he had no authority to deal with it. It's most appropriate to hand it over to certain special organizations, and he's happy to enjoy some peace and quiet...

"These little devils are getting more and more rampant..."

After sitting down, Kong Er couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Although the bomb didn't ultimately explode, they were well aware that if it weren't for the unexpected discovery by Qin Fang, many people attending the event would have suffered.

Perhaps the bomb's power wasn't as terrifying as Qin Fang described, but if it exploded in the conference hall while so many people were participating in the auction, the casualties would definitely be severe.

Especially after learning from Qin Fang that the bomb was installed inside the auctioneer's hammer, those sitting in the front row had the highest mortality rate.

Although Kong Er and others weren't the heads of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong, being second and third generations, surely some face recoganition would be given by Xu Yuanshan, and they'd likely sit in the front rows.

Once the bomb exploded... they wouldn't expect an escape!

Thinking about this, Kong Er and the others couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and were grateful to have encountered Qin Fang there; otherwise, they would indeed be in trouble.

"Some people over there are getting way too carried away..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but nod in agreement. The recent actions of the Japanese have indeed been infuriating; it's quite excessive.

However, the implications behind this matter run very deep. Even Qin Fang can only vaguely guess a few hints, so it's best not to elaborate too much and just leave it at that.

Although Kong Er and the others have complex backgrounds and receive information from various sources, they are not very clear about certain underground secrets.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Qin Fang didn't say much more. Although he had a very good relationship with Kong Er and Qu Da, some matters were not appropriate to involve them in.

Besides, it was almost time. After eliminating the crisis, Xu Yuanshan promptly stepped forward to host this charity banquet, and naturally, Qin Fang and his group could only behave dutifully.

Qin Fang wasn't particularly interested in this kind of banquet. People attended under the guise of charity, but in reality, they came to network with Xu Yuanshan.

At least from the few wealthy individuals Qin Fang noticed earlier, several of them are clearly the type to exploit their wealth without benevolence. If they don't harm others, it's already decent; as for charity, Qin Fang worries the term might be tainted by their involvement...

But Qin Fang couldn't say anything. He wasn't the organizer of the charity banquet and naturally didn't need to concern himself with the nature of the guests.

On the contrary, he was glad to see these individuals generously donate, whether for genuine charity, reputation, or to catch Xu Yuanshan's eye; at the very least, the money would find a good use...

Xu Yuanshan's Distant Mountain Group established a charity fund specifically for these donations, with funds designated for charitable work. The records and procedures are highly transparent, fair, and just, much more reliable than the Red Cross Society...

For such charity auctions, Qin Fang and Kong Er were indeed generous with their contributions. These individuals were far from financially strained and had no qualms about donating for charity.

Of course, they didn't go overboard. The primary aim of this charity event was to provide financial support to the families of the affected fishermen.

Although the needed funds were substantial—at least for the families of the affected fishermen—for Qin Fang and the rest, the amount required wasn't particularly significant.

Xu Yuanshan even spent millions on expenses to organize this charity banquet; hosting it at his own hotel only slightly reduced the costs.

The auction went relatively well. Although they discreetly handled the bomb threat, the entire process remained calm and composed for most uninformed guests.

In the end, nearly thirty million in donations were raised. Part of it compensated the families of the affected fishermen, while a portion was retained in Xu Yuanshan's charity fund for other charitable activities.

The flow of these funds is public and can be checked at any time, maintaining high transparency...

Qin Fang and the others each donated over a million. Even Song Qingshan wasn't an exception. He had been winning a lot in his recent matches, and he rarely spends, so he had plenty of spare cash.

After the auction concluded, the cocktail party officially began. Kong Er and Qu Da indulged themselves among the popular ladies, seemingly reluctant to leave.

However, Qin Fang took hold of Song Qingshan, and the two began whispering to each other on one side, apparently discussing something.

Chu Yunxuan, with a slight smile, stood nearby, holding a glass of wine. Her eyes subtly surveyed the environment, appearing indifferent, as if she didn't care what Qin Fang and the others were discussing.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Song Qingshan frowned slightly, seeming a bit hesitant and reiterated.

"It's a must..."

Qin Fang nodded solemnly, clearly resolved.

"The Japanese are becoming increasingly arrogant lately. If we let them continue unchecked, who knows what these mad dogs will come up with."

"Like tonight's matter, if something had happened, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Qin Fang wasn't exaggerating at all. This place was filled with wealthy merchants and elites, and if so many people died at once, the upper echelons would be outraged, and even Jiangzhou's boss wouldn't be spared, nor would Wu Ling, the second in command...

The most crucial part is the horrific social impact of such a blast, which would be incredibly difficult to cover up.

"Alright, you decide on this, I have no objections...let me know when to leave, and I'll be ready..."

Song Qingshan was silent for a while before nodding in agreement. He seemed decisive, indicating that he was even willing to set aside his upcoming matches. (To be continued.
