Chapter 22

"Qin Ge, you're just going to let Man Niu go like this?" Han Sanqiang couldn't help but ask as they left the hospital.

"Do you think that's possible?" Qin Lang countered.

"It's impossible." Han Sanqiang thought for a moment, then burst into laughter. For Han Sanqiang, tonight had been a rollercoaster. When Man Niu had a gun to his head, he thought he was done for. Who would have thought that Qin Lang was so capable, turning the tables and subduing Man Niu completely. His methods were truly extraordinary, and now Han Sanqiang was thoroughly convinced of Qin Lang's abilities.

Moreover, Han Sanqiang could foresee that with Qin Lang as his backer, his influence would surely expand significantly in the future.

"Of course not, I can't just let Man Niu go like that," Qin Lang said calmly. "You're currently in a weak position, but Man Niu can be a useful pawn. We need to make good use of him. However, we shouldn't push him too hard, or he might turn desperate."

"But will those nude photos be enough to completely control Man Niu?" Han Sanqiang asked again.

"That's why I had you take his gun," Qin Lang said coolly. "This gun has Man Niu's fingerprints on it. If we use this gun to take out Sang Kun or An Desheng, or anyone else, what do you think would happen?"

"That would definitely be pinned on Man Niu!" Han Sanqiang said with delight, secretly marveling at Qin Lang's cunning. With the gun and the photos, Man Niu would be completely under their control.

Han Sanqiang didn't know that Qin Lang was the disciple of Old Poison, a man who was not only skilled in poison but also ruthless in his methods. Qin Lang often listened to Old Poison's "teachings," and as the saying goes, a great teacher produces great students. How could Qin Lang's methods be anything but exceptional?

"Qin Ge, what about Sang Biao?" Han Sanqiang asked. "He's Sang Kun's confidant. What if he reports to Sang Kun?"

"Brother Qiang, you worry too much. This is something Man Niu should be worried about. If Man Niu doesn't want his dirty secrets to be exposed, he'll find a way to keep Sang Biao quiet," Qin Lang said calmly. "Man Niu has come this far; we should trust his abilities, right?"

Han Sanqiang was once again in awe, secretly grateful that he wasn't Qin Lang's enemy.

Han Sanqiang drove Qin Lang to the school gate. As Qin Lang was about to get out of the car, he said, "Thoroughly investigate An Desheng's business. We need to be prepared to take over his operations."

Hearing this, Han Sanqiang was elated. If they could take over An Desheng's business, his influence would undoubtedly grow, and he might soon become the boss of the southern part of Xiayang City.

Back in the dorm, Qin Lang began to study the information on An Desheng. From the photos, An Desheng looked like a refined and cultured businessman, but behind his glasses, he had a pair of cold, calculating eyes. He was undoubtedly a ruthless and cunning man.

Qin Lang didn't underestimate An Desheng. Old Poison had given him this task for a reason, and it wasn't simply to "punish evil and promote good." Old Poison wouldn't do something so straightforward.

To deal with An Desheng, Qin Lang needed to understand his background.

From the current situation, Qin Lang had found some leads. Chunmei Bay was a key clue and a potential breakthrough, but from the information he had, it didn't seem to be involved in the "business" with middle school girls. At least, there was no obvious evidence. An Desheng was indeed a cunning man.

But Qin Lang was confident he would soon find the answers.

On Sunday evening, the students returned to school for their evening study sessions.

Qin Lang attended one study session and then returned to the dorm to continue his meditation and training.

Soon, Zhao Kan came back, whistling a tune, clearly in high spirits.

"Zhao Kan, it looks like you had a great weekend," Qin Lang said, temporarily stopping his meditation and getting out of bed to talk to Zhao Kan.

"Good news makes a man feel great!" Zhao Kan said with a satisfied smile.

"What good news?" Qin Lang asked with a smile. "Did you find some money?"

"Better than finding money!" Zhao Kan threw his backpack on his bed and then put on a mysterious expression. "Bro, I have some good news. On Tuesday night, I'm planning to take you to a great place—hey..."

"What great place?"

"Chunmei Bay!" Zhao Kan said with a lecherous grin.

"Chunmei Bay Club?" Qin Lang looked at Zhao Kan skeptically, wondering if he was joking. Even though Zhao Kan's family had some money, they wouldn't give him enough to spend at a place like Chunmei Bay.

Chunmei Bay was a gold mine.

"Sure, you know it's a great place! But it really is. I've heard that most of the girls at Chunmei Bay are highly educated, truly talented and beautiful, and pure and lovely..." Zhao Kan was almost drooling.

"I've heard of it, but are you really going?" Qin Lang asked.

Seemingly sensing Qin Lang's doubt, Zhao Kan patted Qin Lang's shoulder and grinned. "This is my dad's big 18th birthday gift. I'm almost 18, and I can't keep the 'virgin' label forever, right? So my dad has increased my spending limit, and I'm going to Chunmei Bay to pick a young, pure girl to lose my virginity. This way, I won't keep thinking about it and can focus on my studies and future career!"

"You and your dad are really something!"

Qin Lang gave Zhao Kan a thumbs up. The two of them were truly formidable. However, Qin Lang knew that this was because Zhao Kan's mother had passed away early, leaving the two of them to run wild like unbridled horses.

"But why are you inviting me?" Qin Lang asked. "Do you want me to be a witness and tell everyone, 'I can vouch that Zhao Kan lost his virginity at Chunmei Bay on a certain day, and I saw it with my own eyes'?"

"Exactly, I want you to be a witness, but a mutual one. Good brothers share in both good times and bad. I think you're probably a virgin too, so why don't we go together? It won't hurt to spend my dad's money. Besides, the others in the dorm are all focused on the college entrance exam and wouldn't have the courage to go with me."

Zhao Kan encouraged him. "Opportunities like this don't come often. My dad said that although Chunmei Bay is expensive, it's clean and hygienic. The girls there are regularly checked, so there's no risk of 'poisoning.'"

"Since we're good brothers, I have to give you some advice," Qin Lang said earnestly. "First, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to lose my virginity so casually. It's not worth it. In ancient times, a virgin's first time not only didn't cost money, but they would even get a big red envelope—"

"Damn, you can't be so frugal about this," Zhao Kan interrupted. "If you feel it's a loss, I can find you a rich woman who likes virgins. You'll get a big red envelope, but you might cum too quickly when you see her face."

"Anyway, I can celebrate your birthday, but I won't lose my virginity casually," Qin Lang insisted. "Besides, didn't you say you already have someone you like?"

"Romantic love and physical intimacy are two different things! But if you really don't want to, I won't force you!" Zhao Kan said with a smile. "I'm just afraid you won't be able to resist—no more talk, I can't hold it anymore. I'm going to the bathroom to practice... a little relief can solve a lot of problems!"

"Save some bullets, or you might not be up to the task on Tuesday!"

"A little relief is good for the soul, a lot can hurt the body, and too much can destroy it... looking up at the moon, looking down and jerking off... quickly use the double sticks, jerk! jerk! jerk! jerk!" A moment later, the bathroom echoed with Zhao Kan's self-composed "jerking off poem."

Qin Lang couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that Zhao Kan was truly one of a kind. However, this was a good opportunity to go to Chunmei Bay and see what Old Fox An Desheng was up to.
