Third update,

...

Qin Fang actually never intended to go into real industry. He didn't have the prowess, nor the capital, at least it wasn't his goal in the near future.

He hadn't mentioned this to Tang Feifei, and he certainly wouldn't tell Chen Jiangnan. He would just let them fuss over it while he waited for the laboratory to fall into his lap.

As for what he told Tang Feifei about being cautious of Chen Jiangnan's empty promises, it wasn't entirely untrue. He figured that it was very likely Chen Jiangnan would pull something like that, so he decided to beat him at his own game and take something from him first.

Even if Chen Jiangnan ended up attempting to swindle him, Qin Fang had the technology, and he wouldn't miss out on the profits. Otherwise, he wouldn't let Chen Jiangnan take advantage of the situation without getting something in return.

"Why are they here?"

As Qin Fang was contemplating how to handle the situation, his eyes glanced over the monitor and spotted two sneaky figures loitering outside the gate of his sawmill factory. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The visitors were none other than Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue.

"These two girls are actually tailing me…"

Qin Fang had a wry smile on his face, guessing that the rumor had reached the two beauties, making them think he really had another woman, so they secretly followed him here.

Qin Fang would be alert around people who had hostility towards him, but it was highly unlikely for these two beauties to feel that way about him, especially since they had feelings for him. They followed all the way here, and Qin Fang remained clueless, which inadvertently led them to discover his private cabin.

"Should I meet them?"

Qin Fang hesitated; going out now would mean exposing his private space, yet avoiding them seemed somewhat cowardly.

...

"Muxue, are you sure Qin Fang is really in there?"

Tang Feifei stared at the overgrown factory grounds, where she could barely make out the top half of the warehouse. She found it hard to believe that Qin Fang would bring a woman here to hide.

"Feifei, I saw Qin Fang with my own eyes opening the door and going in. He's definitely inside…"

It was Xiao Muxue who tailed him, even changing into more neutral clothing for the task, for fear that Qin Fang would spot her.

"So what do we do now? Qin Fang has been inside for quite a while…"

Tang Feifei was at a loss, her expression pitiful and her eyes reddening as if she was about to cry.

"Or… should we climb in and catch them in the act?"

Watching Tang Feifei make such a face, Xiao Muxue, who should have been pleased, felt unexpectedly sad inside, even feeling a little resentful towards Qin Fang, thinking, "If you're looking for affection, why not come to me? We have already been that close…"

Of course, this was just a thought. She had mustered all her courage for that night, and now she couldn't bring herself to repeat it, not for anything.

But looking at the newly renovated fence and the closed gate, it seemed there was only this one option.

"Okay…"

Tang Feifei didn't have any better ideas at this point. Despite hoping deep down that Qin Fang hadn't actually done anything, she still wanted to find out for herself and reluctantly agreed after gritting her teeth.

The sawmill factory's new gate was the same type as before, welded with steel bars and locked with a padlock. Anyway, there was nothing worth stealing inside the factory; the only valuable asset was the land itself, which was already owned, not something that could be stolen, so naturally, Qin Fang didn't need to guard it like a military base.

The two beauties began to scale the wall. To be precise, they found a low-lying area of the fence to climb over, and close to the gate, there was a small pile of dirt that made it easier to reach the top of the fence.

Xiao Muxue managed it fine, since she dressed inconspicuously for the tailing, wearing capris and a T-shirt with sneakers. This outfit made climbing the wall no trouble at all.

But Tang Feifei's outfit posed a problem. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a miniskirt, and the action of climbing the fence inevitably involved lifting her legs and bending over, risking exposure.

Xiao Muxue quickly made it over, but getting Tang Feifei up was a difficult task, causing the two to circle around anxiously, unsure of what to do.

Thwack~~

"Do you ladies need some help?"

Just when they were in a bind, a bamboo ladder was leaned against the fence where Xiao Muxue stood, accompanied by a very gentle voice.

"Yes, please, that would be great…"

Xiao Muxue answered almost reflexively before she and Tang Feifei, still outside the wall, were startled as they realized the owner of the voice was none other than Qin Fang, the man they had intended to catch in the act by climbing over the wall.

"Ah~~"

Both women couldn't help but exclaim almost at the same time.

"Hey, hey, hey~~ I'm just trying to help; do you have to use sonic waves as a lethal weapon…"

Qin Fang immediately said with a wry smile on his face.

"Stop talking… Hurry up and open the door, let us in!"

Tang Feifei's head barely peeked over the fence. Although she couldn't see Qin Fang's face, she still huffed impatiently.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm opening the door now! Muxue, get down from the ladder yourself. Jumping down is too dangerous…" Qin Fang, of course, had no reason to refuse. After all, he hadn't done anything disgraceful; this place was just his private space.

Since the two beauties had discovered it, there was no need for him to hide it anymore, lest it caused any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Thanks to Qin Fang opening the door, the two beauties naturally entered smoothly and then, bypassing Qin Fang who was locking the door, they marched furiously straight toward Qin Fang's little cabin.

Great, these two hadn't forgotten their purpose for coming here: they really wanted to catch someone in the act.

Qin Fang didn't mind and just followed them slowly from behind, without speaking or making a sound, and watched them inspect the place.

The factory area was only so big. Those bungalows had long been unfit for living due to disrepair. Qin Fang had intended to demolish them, but later, it felt too troublesome, so he didn't bother cleaning them out.

The only place suitable for living was the room in the warehouse, Qin Fang's little cabin. As soon as the two beauties entered the warehouse, they spotted it. Their eyes lit up, they glanced at each other, and then they rushed over with great momentum.

Unfortunately, once they entered the little cabin, it was empty. Aside from a bed, there was not a trace of a person. However, the two beauties still searched thoroughly—front to back, top to bottom, not even sparing under the bed.

"Where is the person?"

Tang Feifei wandered around, but the place was only so big and she could see everything at a glance. Having discovered nothing, she crossed her arms and put on a very fierce demeanor as she interrogated.

"Person? What person?"

Qin Fang immediately feigned ignorance, though he knew exactly who Tang Feifei was asking about. Sadly, there really wasn't such a person.

"The woman who stayed overnight with you last night!"

Tang Feifei, who was somewhat naive, had initially thought not to say it outright. But remembering the vivid rumors circulating outside, she couldn't help getting teary-eyed and blurted out a bit impatiently.

"What are you even talking about!"

Qin Fang immediately laughed weirdly, "You believe those rumors? What woman staying over? Look around: I can't claim it's very dirty, but it's definitely not clean, and there are so many mosquitoes, it's killer. Which woman would be willing to spend the night here if she weren't hit in the head by a door?"

"Er…"

Tang Feifei suddenly paused, and it was indeed just as Qin Fang had described. The cabin was hastily built, aside from a bed, there were some tools, parts and such, all in quite a disorganized state, and they could see mosquitoes fluttering about while standing there.

On Qin Fang's bed, there was just a mat and a thin blanket, not even a pillow. It was far from the luxurious hideaway for a mistress they had imagined; it was more like a dog's kennel, worse even than the small place Qin Fang had rented before.

"Then last night…"

Tang Feifei was still struggling a bit, but her conviction was already wavering.

"Haven't I told you already? I talked about some issues with Chen Jiangnan yesterday, then we both went to the city center. Since Sister Ning was also shopping there, we agreed to go jade gambling together. Sister Ning was lucky and won big, so she treated me to dinner. By the time we returned from the city center, it was almost midnight. Knowing that the dormitory gates were closed, I didn't go back and made do with a night here. The mosquitoes almost carried me away and tore me to pieces…"

Pfft~~~

Qin Fang recounted yesterday's schedule as if he were a child admitting his mistakes to a teacher, especially when he reached the last sentence, the two beauties immediately burst into laughter at the cold joke he delivered with such grave seriousness.

But they still felt like the case wasn't closed, and they immediately straightened their expressions again, "Is that all?"

"That's all, I've told you everything without holding anything back! My dear heroines, I really haven't committed any political offense…"

Just from Tang Feifei's tone, Qin Fang knew that they believed him. He took the opportunity to act obsequiously, which provoked another round of eye-rolling from the two beauties.

However, amidst these changing expressions, the mystery of Qin Fang's overnight absence was successfully resolved.

"The environment here is a bit poor, but there aren't many people around, so it's quite peaceful…"

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two beauties found a new goal: to start renovating Qin Fang's little cabin, "We can open a window here, place a few pots of flowers, and throw all these tools out. We'll put in a desk and a computer—voilà, it will be much better… "(To be continued, for more details, please visit www.qidian.com. More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
