Chapter 1005: Chapter 994: Xu Ruolan Questions
“Xinlan, Xinlan, where have you gone? Come out for me!!”
Ning Jianyang anxiously shouted, but could not find a trace of his daughter.
“What are you yelling for? You drove your daughter away, what’s the point of losing your temper at night?”
Madam Bi Yanjing came from the bedroom to the main hall, her face full of fury.
“Ran away?”
Only then did Ning Jianyang remember he had pushed his daughter hard when he went out. He didn’t know if it had hurt her.
“Yes, she ran off while shouting, ‘Father doesn’t care about me, I’ll find someone to deal with that little punk myself!'”
Bi Yanjing crossed her arms, her eyes sliding to one side.
Ning Jianyang’s face was full of anger, and he pointed his finger at Bi Yanjing: “It’s all because of your spoiling!”
Bi Yanjing still didn’t look at Ning Jianyang, rolling her eyes and saying, “Spoiled by me? The books say, ‘If the child isn’t taught, it is the father’s fault!'”
Ning Jianyang stepped forward, and with a sudden raise of his hand, tightly clutched Bi Yanjing’s throat, lifting her off the ground:
“If it weren’t for you and your father’s repeated indulgence, how would Xinlan be so unruly and willful!”
“You… You dare talk about my father…”
“I just said Bi Lietu is an old brute, so what’s the matter? Apart from killing, what else can he do? Look at how Nalan Yanfeng assists Ning Qingfeng in solving problems, and then look at you, you can’t even swear properly!”
Ning Jianyang snorted, threw Bi Yanjing to the ground, and walked away with swagger.
…
Night grew deeper.
Wine is the thing to forget worries. After Ning Fan harshly reprimanded Zhong Lianhao, he indicated everyone should continue to enjoy themselves however they wanted, and the bar was soon filled with laughter again.
Until closing time, no one dared say anything inappropriate to Zhao Xue’er anymore.
At half-past ten, the part-time work ended, and Ning Fan sent Zhao Xue’er home.
“Ning Fan brother, would Zhong Lianhao really cut off an inch of his own tongue?”
Zhao Xue’er furrowed her brow and whispered.
“Even if Zhong Lianhao wouldn’t do it himself, Lu Qinhu would tell the Zhong Family Head, and his tongue tip definitely wouldn’t be safe.”
Ning Fan shrugged, his words filled with confidence.
“Phew… We are classmates after all, it might be quite awkward meeting in the future.”
Zhao Xue’er sighed, seemingly already picturing the unavoidable awkward scene.
“What’s awkward about it? Repay kindness with kindness, repay grievances with grievances, it has always been like that.”
Ning Fan knew Zhao Xue’er’s family had been bullied by various people for too long, making her overly soft, and she might struggle to adapt to Ning Fan’s way of doing things quickly.
“Every time I resist, more people come to step on me, I’ve never even dared think about repaying grievances with grievances…”
Zhao Xue’er seemed to recall something quite terrifying, shivered, and rubbed her right hand against her left arm.
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, smiling at her, he said, “From now on in Dragon City, if anyone dares bully you, just tell me, I’ll definitely beat them until they’re rolling on the ground.”
“Haha~!”
Zhao Xue’er burst into laughter.
“Ning Fan brother, thank you!”
“Silly girl, what’s there to thank, you’re calling me Ning Fan brother, as a brother, naturally I must protect my sister.”
Ning Fan smiled, indeed, it’s been years, the change is quite significant.
“Alright, I’ll drop you off here, head home, if anything comes up give me a call, I should be heading back now too.”
Saying that, Ning Fan gave her a business card.
“Okay, thank you Ning Fan brother, when free, remember to find me!”
Zhao Xue’er reluctantly waved her hand.
…
Early the next morning, Ning Xinlan summoned one of her many followers, Zhong Lianhan, to an isolated path at the university.
“Do you recognize this person?”
Ning Xinlan’s eyes flared as she raised the phone screen toward Zhong Lianhan.
Zhong Lianhan slightly lowered his head; his pupils quivered slightly.
“You asking me?”
“If not you, then who else? Is there anyone else here?”
Ning Xinlan yelled at Zhong Lianhan in a thunderous voice.
Zhong Lianhan’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of danger, gritting his teeth:
“Not only do I know him, but this person also just took half of my brother Zhong Lianhao’s tongue.”
“That’s great, finally found someone I can ally with!”
Ning Xinlan smiled happily.
“Alliance? Is Miss Ning joking with me?”
Zhong Lianhan sneered, looking like he didn’t understand what Ning Xinlan was saying.
“Who’s joking? I have some grudges with him, your brother just had a feud with him too. Aren’t we on the same side?”
“You… really don’t know who he is?”
Zhong Lianhan slightly lowered his eyelids, as if hearing a very amusing tale.
“Of course, I don’t know who he is, quickly tell me his name!”
Remembering her father’s reaction yesterday, Ning Xinlan felt a hint of unease inside.
Zhong Lianhan looked into Ning Xinlan’s eyes, seemingly anticipating something:
“I don’t know this person’s real name, but he’s said to be the renowned Asura!”
Asura? What Asura?
Ning Xinlan wasn’t familiar with the title of Asura.
“My dear, do you know what Asura represents?” Zhong Lianhan was speechless.
“Represents what?”
Ning Xinlan raised her eyebrows, genuinely unaware of what Asura represented, considering its comparison to Dragon City’s top family, the Ning Family, could it be more formidable?
“It’s a killing god!”
Zhong Lianhan raised his tone significantly and said, “Provoking him has serious consequences, my brother was hurt by him. The Zhong Family can’t retaliate at all.”
“That’s just because your Zhong Family is timid! You’re afraid of him, but I’m not!”
Ultimately, Ning Xinlan clenched both fists once more and angrily said:
“So what if he’s Asura? If Asura provokes me, he must die too!”
“Forget it, if you’re looking for me for something else, we might talk, but as for killing Asura, better find someone else, because I truly don’t dare to kill him. If I don’t kill him, and end up getting myself killed instead, that’s a disaster.”
Zhong Lianhan wasn’t a fool, though he admired Ning Xinlan, asking him to move against Asura, isn’t that courting death?
“Since you won’t go, I’ll find someone else! Coward!”
Ning Xinlan glared at him in annoyance, then turned around arrogantly and strode away…
…
Returning at night, after coming back to the hotel, Ning Fan was somewhat exhausted, after all, he spent a day and night accompanying the little girl, it was truly tiring.
“Where did you go?”
Just then, Xu Ruolan stepped out of the room.
Wearing a bathrobe, her already enticing figure became even more captivating.
“Went out for a stroll, since I’ve just arrived in Dragon City, I’m not quite familiar with it, and who would have thought I’d get lost here.”
Ning Fan gave a bitter smile, making up a random excuse to explain to Xu Ruolan.
“You’re lying!”
Unexpectedly, Xu Ruolan immediately saw through his lie.
Gasp…
Damn, she figured it out?
Ning Fan was speechless.
“Tell me, where did you actually go.”
Xu Ruolan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, after all, they had been in Dragon City for several days, and he not only didn’t properly accompany her, but also stayed out all night, how could someone with strong possessiveness like Xu Ruolan accept this?
“[I’ve been feeling unwell lately, everyone please understand, went to the hospital to check, the doctor advised to rest well, so updates will be a bit less, please bear with me.]”
