The first update,

...

Visiting the Capital City, one naturally includes the Great Wall on the list of must-see attractions, and Qin Fang and his group were no exception. With nothing much else planned, they directly set off by car.

The Great Wall is a treasure of Dragon Country's thousands of years of history, a testament to a civilization millennia old. The Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County of the Capital City is the best-preserved and steepest section, and it also sees the highest volume of visitors.

Going to the Great Wall at this time wasn't exactly a wise choice for Qin Fang's group. Even though New Year's Day had passed, reducing the number of visitors, the crowd was still quite daunting.

However, nowadays, economic benefits speak volumes in tourist areas. For instance, wealthy individuals can easily take a shortcut and enter directly, avoiding the massive crowds of tourists.

Even the route they took was different, considerably more relaxed, preventing the uncomfortable experience of squeezing through throngs of people. While they saw the Great Wall, they saw even more of the people...

As a local of the Capital City, Tang Feifei knew all about this. Additionally, girls aren't keen on cramming in with so many tourists, risking unwanted advances, so Qin Fang and his party chose to take a different path.

This path also led to the Great Wall, or more precisely, another segment not yet fully open to the public, complete with a personal guide to explain various features of the Great Wall and related historical anecdotes — this could be counted as VIP service. Most of the visitors here were wealthy and influential, as well as some foreign guests.

Perhaps as a marketing feature, guides these days are mostly young and pretty girls with slim figures, sweet smiles, and pleasant voices — apparently the ideal for offering the best service to tourists, much like airline stewardesses are also very young.

Qin Fang's group casually selected one of the guide beauties and then set off in the direction of the Great Wall on the scenic area's electric cart, with the guide introducing the unique features of the area along the way...

Tang Feifei, who had been here more often than just once or twice, chatted with Qin Fang as the guide spoke, even sharing historical stories not fully known to the guide, including some about her grandfather during the war years that pertained to the Great Wall.

Su Yuan sat beside them, smiling and occasionally chiming in, contributing to a generally harmonious atmosphere.

Li Tianyou had been thrown into jail by Qin Fang, and her father's illness also had been brought under control. With the weight off her chest, she felt a great deal of gratitude towards Qin Fang. In addition, she and Tang Feifei got along very well and had already made plans to visit Ninghai together.

The scenic area's electric carts had a maximum capacity of four people, so with Qin Fang, Tang Feifei, Su Yuan, and the guide, they were a full set, Shen Liang and Chen Gang followed in another for protection.

Screech~~

But as Qin Fang's group was chatting and laughing, the electric cart, upon rounding a bend, suddenly braked sharply, causing Tang Feifei and Su Yuan in the back seat to nearly fly forward from the inertia.

The front end of the electric cart was equipped with a safety railing, there for precisely that reason, but although the sharp braking might not result in someone being thrown from the cart, hitting the railing could certainly result in some bruises.

It was only because of Qin Fang's quick reflexes, as he stretched out his arms and pulled Tang Feifei and Su Yuan into his embrace, while his own back slammed hard into the railing, letting out a soft grunt.

With Qin Fang's physical strength, he wasn't likely to be injured, but the impact still caused him a moment of discomfort.

"Qin Fang, are you okay?"

Tang Feifei reacted immediately, her voice filled with concern. She had felt the hug from Qin Fang and heard his grunt, naturally making her quite anxious.

Although Su Yuan didn't speak, it wasn't hard to tell from her expression that she was equally concerned.

"I'm fine..."

Qin Fang forced a smile. The collision was certainly not pleasant, but it was soon over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry, so sorry... Are you hurt?"

The guide also looked extremely worried. In their line of work, ensuring the visitors' best possible experience is paramount. Even a single complaint could mean no tips for this outing and a deduction from her bonus, so she was naturally very concerned.

"We're fine... What happened?"

Qin Fang smiled. He had already seen what was happening ahead; a line of electric carts was stopped, particularly at this bend, no wonder there was a sudden stop to avoid a collision.

"Young Master Qin, I'll go check it out..."

Shen Liang and Chen Gang now came up to them, and Shen Liang volunteered to go forward and gather information, indicating that something had happened up ahead causing all vehicles to halt.

"Let's all go and take a look!"

Qin Fang nodded, allowing Shen Liang to go first while they followed to see as well.

Given the situation, it was likely a vehicular accident or dispute. While Qin Fang was not a doctor, if someone was injured, he could use the Silver Needle to delay the worsening of the injury, which might prevent the situation from escalating before reaching a hospital for treatment.

The number of tourists on this road wasn't particularly high, but with the crowd pressing in, everyone was stuck there. As time passed, the number of people certainly wasn't small.

By the time Qin Fang and his group arrived, there was already a considerable crowd ahead of them. Even looking from the back, they couldn't see clearly what was happening in front. They could faintly hear some noises of arguing and fighting...

Since there were a few girls present, Qin Fang didn't feel it appropriate to push through the crowd, so they had no choice but to wait on the outside for Shen Liang to come back with information...

Fortunately, Shen Liang didn't make them wait too long before squeezing his way out of the crowd.

"What's going on?"

However, Shen Liang's face seemed very angry. Qin Fang was a bit puzzled and asked.

"Looks like it's an incident involving foreigners. Two groups have started a conflict; one of them appears to be foreign guests invited by the government. They got into a fight with some students from Capital City University. Moreover, they even got physical. The students are at a disadvantage and are getting beaten up..." Shen Liang said indignantly, casting a hopeful gaze at Qin Fang.

There were government officials involved in this matter, so even if he wanted to help, he had to get Qin Fang's approval first. If it led to trouble, it would mean bringing trouble to Qin Fang as well. He knew this was the protocol.

"Hm? No one's intervening?"

As expected, Qin Fang's expression instantly changed.

The era when foreign powers dominated and their nationals were treated first-class in the Qing dynasty was long gone. Even if foreigners came to Dragon Country, they had to abide by Dragon Country's laws. Publicly assaulting Dragon Country people, and that too while being witnessed by government officials, was truly unbearable.

"No one..."

Shen Liang opened his mouth and finally shook his head.

He didn't fully describe the actual situation, but the gist was clear enough: the foreigners were indeed beating up the Dragon Country students, and it was still ongoing.

"Let's go in and take a look! Brother Chen, please take care of Feifei and the others..."

Faced with this situation, Qin Fang couldn't stand by idly. Young people are like that, driven by fiery blood at such an age. Although he had been through quite a lot, he couldn't bear such injustices.

"I'll go with you..."

But Tang Feifei held onto Qin Fang's arm firmly, with determination in her eyes and a hint of anger on her pretty face. She clearly found the situation intolerable as well.

"I'm going too..."

Su Yuan, although not much of a talker, was always firm in her actions. She followed Tang Feifei's example and hooked Qin Fang's other arm, but she kept a slight distance, probably to avoid any misunderstanding with Tang Feifei.

"Well... okay then!"

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.

Shen Liang and Chen Gang took the initiative to step forward. With the strength of the two King Kongs, even if there were many people crowding ahead, they were able to forcefully pave a way for Qin Fang and the others, allowing them to enter comfortably.

Soon, the five of them made their way through the crowd of roughly ten meters to the innermost circle, where they could finally see what was happening.

Four people were lying on the ground, their faces bloodied, clearly having been beaten severely and unable to do anything but moan helplessly. Two others were engaging in a scuffle with another young man, but they too were bloodied and obviously no match for him.

Qin Fang only needed a glance to notice that the young man beating others was using taekwondo foot techniques from Korea, having just sent one of the two assailants flying with a swift kick, leaving him motionless on the ground.

Not far from this bloody scene stood several potbellied middle-aged men, resembling government officials. Although their expressions were not great, they maintained forced smiles and were surrounding a young man in his mid-twenties, conversing with him now and then.

This young man appeared to be of no ordinary status, his face marked by clear arrogance. Even faced with such a gruesome sight, he didn't seem to feel any discomfort, even appearing rather interested, occasionally uttering something in a foreign language, seemingly directing the young man who was doing the beating.

"Koreans?"

Qin Fang was momentarily taken aback when he realized that the young man at the center of attention was speaking Korean. Combining this with the information Shen Liang had gathered earlier, it became evident that this young man and the other who was inflicting the beatings were likely from Korea, not too far away from Dragon Country.

The government officials seemed very concerned about this Korean, not only failing to stop the violent act but also maintaining a dismissive attitude toward it. (To be continued.
