Chapter 972: Chapter 961: Yin Yang Family
The slaughter at Situ Manor did not last long. With the strength of Tulip and the others, facing the men recruited by Situ Qingfeng was as simple as killing chickens.
This was a completely one-sided massacre, without the slightest hint of surprise.
Situ Manor was strewn with corpses; anyone who stood in their way had been utterly annihilated.
Ning Fan walked out slowly, carrying the unconscious Xu Rongfei who had fallen asleep. His face was grim, yet remarkably calm—an unsettling kind of calm.
From Ning Fan’s expression alone, Tulip and the others could fully imagine how furious their boss was at this moment.
“Take her to the hospital and protect her well. The rest of you, come back to the base with me.”
Ning Fan handed Xu Rongfei into Tulip’s arms.
Tulip, carrying Xu Rongfei, dared not delay and promptly left the scene.
The remaining few, including Di Baitian, stood rooted in place, observing Ning Fan’s expression with growing fear.
The silent fury emanating from Ning Fan was downright terrifying, especially to those like Di Baitian standing close to him—they could feel it most keenly at this moment.
“What are you standing around for? Do you want to stay behind to clean up the bodies of these people?”
Ning Fan walked ahead, noticing Di Baitian and the others still dawdling, and immediately frowned with displeasure as he spoke.
Awakened by Ning Fan’s icy tone, the group shuddered and swiftly followed after him.
…
Situ Qingfeng had escaped. Though Ning Fan had managed to rescue Xu Rongfei, letting that bastard slip away left him fuming.
Back at the Shadow Base, Ning Fan found Ouyang Feifei with a dark expression: “Investigate thoroughly. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find Situ Qingfeng for me!”
Ouyang Feifei froze for a moment but, realizing the sheer intensity of Ning Fan’s fury, she wasted no time. Turning immediately, she mobilized the majority of the Shadow Team’s resources to pinpoint Situ Qingfeng’s current whereabouts.
Standing behind Ouyang Feifei, watching her operate, Ning Fan remained silent. Arms folded as he leaned against the wall, his face still carried an icy, composed expression.
“Situ Qingfeng has ties to the Dongying people. Follow this lead; we should be able to track down that coward!”
Recalling a detail, Ning Fan voiced his thought in a low and measured tone.
This clue gave Ouyang Feifei some hope. Though it was unclear how effective it would be, it was certain to help.
About five minutes later, the intelligence system of the Shadow Team, carefully developed by Ouyang Feifei over time, began to show its formidable capabilities.
“Situ Qingfeng is a cunning old fox; he was prepared for this. About half an hour ago, he flew out of the country using a false identity!”
Ouyang Feifei gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Situ Qingfeng had already fled abroad, moving at a startlingly fast pace. It was clear he had prepared in advance.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan instinctively asked, “Where did he go?”
Ouyang Feifei glanced at her team and responded, “Ryukyu!”
“Ryukyu?”
“Yes, one of the Ryukyu Islands. I’m still investigating the exact location, but don’t worry. Very soon, just give me a bit more time; my team will pinpoint his precise location!”
Though Ouyang Feifei had identified Situ Qingfeng’s general destination, finding his exact location still required additional effort.
Ning Fan was not impatient; he simply nodded in affirmation at Ouyang Feifei.
When Ouyang Feifei took over the Shadow Team, it was as if she were managing a large-scale project. Though there were areas that needed refinement, she had poured all her energy into developing the intelligence system, which was the top priority.
Now, the Shadow Team’s intelligence system had become exceedingly powerful.
With all resources focused, locating Situ Qingfeng’s exact position was just a matter of time.
“Arrange it immediately. I want to drag that old fox out and make him taste regret!”
Once again, after Ouyang Feifei updated him, Ning Fan could no longer hold back, instructing her to prepare for his swift journey to Situ Qingfeng’s island hideout.
“No problem. I’ll track your location and guide you on how to find Situ Qingfeng when the time comes!”
Ouyang Feifei nodded, reassuring Ning Fan that he could act decisively.
Wasting no time, Ning Fan used Ouyang Feifei’s connections to secure a spot on a cargo plane heading for the Ryukyu Islands for the fastest possible travel.
Now on foreign soil, Ning Fan scanned his surroundings and pulled out his phone to await further instructions from Ouyang Feifei.
“Excuse me, where can I board a ferry?”
Following Ouyang Feifei’s suggested route, Ning Fan determined that the shortest path to the island was via ferry. He approached a local and asked.
Following the local’s directions, Ning Fan found the location, but in that same moment, his movements were quickly detected by others.
As Ning Fan boarded the ferry, news of his arrival in Ryukyu was relayed to Situ Qingfeng’s current island hideout.
Situ Qingfeng was holed up in a grand mansion owned by the Yin Yang Family, seated behind a screen as he reported the events in Zhonghai.
“Family Head, we’ve received word that an outsider has arrived on the island!”
Just then, a servant entered the room and reported the matter to Situ Qingfeng in Dongying language, describing Ning Fan’s appearance in detail.
At the servant’s account, Situ Qingfeng’s face turned pale with terror. He immediately collapsed to the ground, crying out, “Family Head Tian Tuyuan, save me!”
Tian Tuyuan, the surname of the Yin Yang Family’s leader, had been supporting Situ Qingfeng from behind the scenes for years. This was the foundation of Situ Qingfeng’s reliance and confidence.
After witnessing Ning Fan’s overwhelming strength in Zhonghai, Situ Qingfeng dared not linger and fled back here, desperately hoping for the Yin Yang Family’s protection.
“You seem terrified. Looks like this visitor is someone extraordinary!”
An eerie, sharp voice came from behind the screen. Only a shadow was visible through the screen, adding an air of mystery.
Situ Qingfeng remained prostrate on the floor, calling out respectfully: “This man killed my brother and nephew. I failed to avenge them and instead, he has been hunting me. Considering all I’ve done for the Tian Tuyuan Family all these years, you must help me!”
“Rest assured. This man dared come here alone—this time, he won’t leave alive!”
“Thank you! I have no words to express my gratitude!”
At these words, Situ Qingfeng’s face brightened with relief. In his heart, he thought: with the backing of the Tian Tuyuan Family, let’s see if Ning Fan can still survive!
