Feng Qingyuan went back and reported to Guan Lie on the reactions from all sides.

Fang Mo and Ding Zhiyuan went to the dispensary to have their injuries treated. Both were hurt, making them a pair of fellow sufferers.

Fang Mo was deeply moved by Ding Zhiyuan stepping forward to help him. This friend was worth having.

What surprised him even more was—

Although quite a few people at the martial arts school looked down on him, and some even mocked him, when something happened, they truly stepped up.

For the first time, he felt what having a home was like, a warmth flowing through his heart.

"With that little frame of yours, who could you possibly beat? You'd be better off learning alchemy from me in peace!"

Pharmacist Xie applied medicine to Fang Mo's arm, rubbing the swollen red area with his hands as he nagged away.

Fang Mo was somewhat speechless. Pharmacist Xie was always trying to get him to learn alchemy, so he hurriedly changed the subject. "Teacher, what kind of medicine is this? It feels warm, and it barely hurts after you put it on?"

Pharmacist Xie immediately smiled smugly. "Of course! This is Purple Ginseng Blood-Dispersing Wine that I prepared myself. It specializes in treating swelling, pain, flesh wounds, and bone injuries. Once I rub it on you, I guarantee you'll be full of life and vigor in no time!"

Ding Zhiyuan's eyes turned green with envy, and he quickly said, "Pharmacist Xie, can I use some of that medicine too?"

"You don't need it for your injury!"

Pharmacist Xie did not even raise his eyelids as he said flatly, "There's Trauma Ointment Wine on the shelf. Go rub it on yourself!"

Ding Zhiyuan's face immediately fell at those words, and he said dejectedly, "All right!"

Ding Zhiyuan ran off to the side to apply his medicine. From time to time, he cast envious looks at Fang Mo. Seeing that Fang Mo's originally swollen arm had already begun returning to normal made him even more jealous, while he could only rub his own medicinal wine in vigorously.

After applying the medicine, Fang Mo's injury felt much better. He felt that this teacher of his seemed to have some real skill.

The medicine was incredibly potent. In less than half an hour, the swelling had completely vanished, and he could no longer feel any pain. His interest in making medicine grew even stronger.

At eight in the morning, at the swimming pool of the East Sea Grand Hotel.

Wei Donghai swam to the edge of the pool and climbed out using the ladder. Two lackeys immediately brought over a bathrobe.

He draped the robe over himself and looked at Liang Cheng, who was waiting by the poolside. "That fool Huang Jun actually dared to go to Tiger Might Martial Arts School to arrest someone. The ignorant truly know no fear!"

"Sit."

He pointed at the chair opposite him, then sat down himself.

Liang Cheng took a seat, lingering fear still in his eyes. "Those martial arts schools really aren't easy to provoke. Dozens of people came rushing out, including more than ten Bright and Dark Strength experts. Huang Jun was lucky he ran fast. If he'd been any slower, he might have been finished there!"

Wei Donghai lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and heavily exhaled a cloud of smoke. "That's why I always tell you not to provoke those martial arts schools. Tiger Might Martial Arts School is already considered low-key. If it had been another school, Huang Jun probably wouldn't have made it out today!"

Leaning back in his chair, he looked at Liang Cheng. "Did you find out what I told you to investigate?"

"I did!"

Liang Cheng said excitedly, "I personally questioned the people Huang Jun found again. I can confirm that Fang Mo, the one studying martial arts at Tiger Might Martial Arts School, is the eldest young master of the Fang Family. After being driven out of the Fang Family, he's been hiding at Tiger Might Martial Arts School!"

Wei Donghai raised an eyebrow. "They really did it for five million?"

Ring ring ring!

Just then, the phone rang.

A lackey hurriedly handed over the phone, his face tense. "Boss, it's Captain Tang from the Public Security Bureau!"

Wei Donghai's expression changed as well. He exchanged a look with Liang Cheng, whose face also shifted as he hurriedly said, "Boss, it should be about what happened at the martial arts school today!"

Wei Donghai nodded at that, answered the call, and immediately put on a smile. "Captain Tang, what brings you to call so early in the morning? What instructions do you have?"

"Wei Donghai, are you tired of living?"

A booming, cold shout came from the phone.

Cold sweat instantly beaded on Wei Donghai's forehead. He hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly. "Captain Tang, where is this coming from? Did I do something wrong somewhere? Please make it clear, Captain Tang. I'll definitely correct it!"

"Cut the crap!"

Captain Tang's voice was stern as he said in a deep voice:

"I'm asking you—who was it that caused trouble at Tiger Might Martial Arts School today? Don't tell me you don't know."

Wei Donghai hurriedly plastered on a smile.

"I know, of course I know. The moment it happened, I had people investigate. The news was just delivered—I was about to tell Captain Tang, but hadn't gotten the chance. They're from the Great Wind Gang in East District. They're looking for someone named Fang Mo, saying he studies martial arts at Tiger Might Martial Arts School!"

"Fang Mo!"

There was doubt in Captain Tang's voice.

A faint smile appeared on Wei Donghai's face. "Yes, that's right, Fang Mo. I heard he seems to be connected to the Yunyang Fang Family!"

"Alright, I understand."

"If anyone from the Great Wind Gang dares come to City God District again, inform me immediately!"

Wei Donghai hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, no problem. Captain Tang, come by Donghai sometime when you're free—relax a little!"

"That's enough. We'll talk when I have time!"

A cold voice came through the phone, followed immediately by the call being disconnected.

Listening to the beeping tone, Wei Donghai finally dropped his ingratiating smile, his expression darkening. "Damn it, those bastards from the Great Wind Gang caused trouble, and I'm the one catching the fallout. I should've demanded two million from them from the start!"

Liang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Boss, is everything alright?"

"What could happen?"

Wei Donghai tossed the phone onto the table and smiled faintly. "If anything happens, it'll happen to the Great Wind Gang. What does it have to do with us? Keep a close eye on the Great Wind Gang's movements!"

"Alright!"

Liang Cheng hurriedly replied.

Inside a Great Wind Gang bar.

Young Master Yang looked at the injured Huang Jun and the two corpses on the floor, his head beginning to ache.

"I told you to be careful, careful! Why the hell did you have to clash with Tiger Might Martial Arts School?"

He clutched his head and paced the room twice before glaring at Huang Jun and gritting his teeth.

"Is Tiger Might Martial Arts School someone you can afford to provoke? Guan Lie is one of Yunyang's top experts, with tremendous prestige. His disciples are spread throughout the military, government, and every walk of life. And you actually ran to his martial arts school to seize someone? Your guts are truly sky-high!"

Huang Jun's face was drenched in sweat. Even after being scolded like a grandson, he did not dare talk back. Clutching his arm, he felt utterly wronged inside. If you hadn't kept rushing me, would I have risked everything?

But he did not dare say it aloud.

"Young Master Yang, calm down first!"

Du Wei was also panic-stricken as he hurriedly said, "It's already happened. We should think about what to do now. Just earlier, Captain Huang from the East District Public Security Bureau called and told us to hand over the people, or they'll shut down our businesses!"

"What do we do? How the hell would I know?"

Yang Jihua's head was pounding too. Hadn't they just kicked a hornet's nest?

If the Great Wind Gang's businesses were shut down and his family found out about this, he would be in for more than he could swallow.

Du Wei hurriedly said, "Young Master Yang, should we have Young Master Lang think of something?"

Yang Jihua blanked for a moment, then a smile spread across his face. Slapping his thigh, he said, "That's right!"

"How did I forget that? Tiger Might Martial Arts School may be formidable, but it can't surpass the Five Great Martial Arts Families of Yunyang!"

He hurriedly pulled out his phone and called Qin Lang. His face immediately broke into a smile as he said, "Young Master Lang, we found Fang Mo!"

"You found him, so just deal with him."

Qin Lang sounded as though he had not fully woken up, his words slurred.

Yang Jihua's expression stiffened slightly. He hurriedly added, "We found him, but there's a bit of a problem now. We can't handle it ourselves. We need Young Master Lang to come take a look!"

Qin Lang's dissatisfied voice came from the phone. "Dealing with a piece of trash is this much trouble? Where are you? I'll be right there!"

"Night Sea Bar!"

The line immediately turned to beeping. Yang Jihua stared at his phone with an ugly expression, then snapped it shut with a slap and looked at Du Wei.

"When Young Master Qin gets here, explain the situation to him!" Then he paused and looked toward Huang Jun and the others. "You lot, make yourselves look more miserable. And bring over the dead and injured gang members too—let Young Master Lang see them when he arrives!"

Du Wei was initially stunned, but then he understood and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yang, I understand! I'll arrange it right away!"
