Chapter 968: Chapter 957: Thank You, Wife, for Your Care
Situ Qingfeng would never forget what happened today.
If it had only been Ning Fan, that would have been one thing, but the fact was that with Ning Fan involved, even those ants he normally disdained dared to act recklessly in his presence—for the first time ever!
“Damn it! Curse it all!” Situ Qingfeng, sitting in the car, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. His face was livid with fury.
Originally, he had come today to meet Xu Ruolan. But unexpectedly, he encountered Ning Fan ahead of schedule.
That alone might not have mattered, but what he couldn’t tolerate was Ning Fan’s sharp tongue. In their clash, Ning Fan completely gained the upper hand, making Situ Qingfeng lose face. Even those ants dared to look down on him now.
After returning to Situ Manor, an old servant who had worked for him for over a decade approached and respectfully asked, “Master, your expression doesn’t look good. Did something…”
“Enough!”
Situ Qingfeng no longer wanted to talk about what had happened. It was a humiliation he couldn’t bear to revisit. Every time he thought of it, it felt like another slap to his face—something no one had ever dared to do to him before.
The old servant could tell that Situ Qingfeng must have encountered some unexpected trouble. His expression was dark, and his visit to the Xu Corporation had clearly not gone smoothly.
“Master, that group of people you mentioned has already arrived. They’re in Zhonghai now and can take action anytime.”
At this moment, the old servant delivered an important piece of information. The group he referred to caused Situ Qingfeng’s expression to ease slightly.
“They’re finally here. My pieces are almost in place. Next up is that woman, Xu Rongfei. I’d like to see just how long she can hold her stubborn tongue!”
Situ Qingfeng sneered coldly. His preparations were nearly complete, and soon he’d deliver a significant surprise to Ning Fan. He didn’t believe Ning Fan could survive it!
The old servant remained silent, only frowning slightly, as if worried about something.
But immersed in the thrill of vengeance, Situ Qingfeng failed to notice the subtle expression on the servant’s face. He continued, “Lock that woman up for the night. Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally deal with her. Make sure she doesn’t die—keep a close watch on her!”
Xu Rongfei was currently locked in a dungeon and had already suffered injuries. Just thinking about her stubborn defiance earlier made Situ Qingfeng’s face grow even darker. He wanted to torment her thoroughly.
“Xu Family, none of you will escape! Be ready to go to Hell together with Ning Fan!”
In Situ Qingfeng’s eyes, the entire Xu Family was complicit in aiding Ning Fan, and they deserved to die. To him, the Xu Family as a whole would also be buried alongside Ning Fan.
…
After Situ Qingfeng left, Ning Fan waited until Xu Ruolan finished her meeting before he saw her.
As soon as she pushed open the office door, Xu Ruolan looked surprised, as though she didn’t expect Ning Fan to show up in her office.
“What are you doing here?” Xu Ruolan asked, her face full of confusion. Then suddenly, as if realizing something, she muttered, “Didn’t Situ Qingfeng say he’d come here earlier? Are you here because of him?”
“Situ Qingfeng has already been dealt with by me. He probably won’t dare to come back and cause trouble again.”
Ning Fan didn’t hide anything, directly explaining that he had sent Situ Qingfeng packing.
Previously, Situ Qingfeng had wanted to meet Xu Ruolan, but Ning Fan, along with the staff in the lobby, had driven him away. The way he’d lost face was absolutely laughable.
After explaining the situation to Xu Ruolan, she couldn’t help but smile lightly. “Don’t you think you’ve been a little too harsh?”
“Harsh? What do you mean, harsh? Was I really too harsh?”
Ning Fan pointed at himself, laughing. What had he done that was so harsh? Situ Qingfeng had totally brought it upon himself.
The man wanted to meet Xu Ruolan, but Xu Ruolan wasn’t someone who’d meet just anyone. He couldn’t even get past the lobby, and Ning Fan had merely done his duty—after all, he was the company’s security guard…
“Situ Qingfeng has been disguising his acquisitions of those companies to divert attention. About an hour ago, he gave me a call, and as I suspected, his return this time is about the matter with Situ Yuanhua.”
Xu Ruolan had already confirmed Situ Qingfeng’s purpose for returning to Zhonghai. As Situ Yuanhua’s brother, his only reason for coming back was to find the real culprit.
In short, he had come back for revenge.
Ning Fan nodded. Xu Ruolan’s thoughts aligned with his own. If this man hadn’t returned for revenge, Ning Fan would have been very surprised.
“Don’t worry; I’ll handle this. Situ Qingfeng won’t be able to do anything in Zhonghai.”
Ning Fan reassured Xu Ruolan.
The last time, Situ Yuanhua had been able to kidnap Xu Ruolan, but this time, Ning Fan wasn’t going to give anyone a chance.
Now that Ning Fan had established the Shadow Team in Zhonghai, there were people secretly protecting Xu Ruolan. Unless Situ Yuanhua possessed some Divine Skills, Ning Fan didn’t believe he could do anything to Xu Ruolan again.
“Still, be careful,” Xu Ruolan urged. While Situ Qingfeng wasn’t as formidable as some of Ning Fan’s past enemies, she still felt Ning Fan couldn’t afford to be careless.
This time, Situ Qingfeng seemed emboldened and confident. If he dared to return, he must have a source for his confidence.
“Thank you, wife, for the reminder. I understand.”
Ning Fan chuckled, maintaining his usual relaxed demeanor.
Situ Qingfeng himself wasn’t worth much attention. The real concern lay with the people backing him. That would only become clear once Ouyang Feifei and the others finished their investigation into the forces behind Situ Qingfeng.
“I’ll head back now. You go ahead and stay busy,” Ning Fan said.
He stayed in Xu Ruolan’s office for just a short while. After discussing Situ Qingfeng, he showed no intention of lingering.
“Take your time, and if anything comes up, make sure to tell me immediately!”
“Hahaha, you’re sounding more like a nagging wife!”
“Be serious, will you? I’m just worried about you!”
“Alright, I get it!”
After teasing Xu Ruolan for a bit more, Ning Fan left the company.
On his way back, he received a phone call from Ouyang Feifei.
“So? Have you wrapped up the situation with Situ Qingfeng yet?”
Since Ouyang Feifei contacted him at this time, it was likely about Situ Qingfeng.
It had only been a few hours, but there were already developments. Ning Fan wasn’t particularly surprised. The Shadow Team’s intelligence-gathering capabilities had always satisfied him.
However, Ouyang Feifei’s call wasn’t about the forces behind Situ Qingfeng, but rather another matter entirely.
