Chapter 1088: Chapter 1077: The Storm is Coming
At the hotel entrance, Qiu Xiuxiu reluctantly looked in the direction where Ning Fan had left, sighed silently, and turned around to enter the hotel.
“Follow her and see which room she’s staying in.”
At the street corner, those blood-red eyes turned to the side, speaking to a young man with a vicious look in his eyes.
The two in front were dressed in slim-fitting T-shirts. Though wearing sun hats early in the morning appeared a bit strange, they seemed to be just ordinary pedestrians.
Only those truly familiar with the Martial Arts World would understand their real identity by seeing the blood cross drawn on their sleeves with fresh blood.
Blood Cross members!
“Second Brother, that woman is clearly related to Ning Fan. Maybe she’s his mistress kept outside. Since we stumbled upon this incident, why not go all out?”
Upon receiving the order from the Blood Cross member next to him, the young man looked fierce for a moment, pressed his hand down, and said in a deep voice, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Luo Sha has always wanted to avenge Jian Lanchun. If we can successfully grasp Ning Fan’s weakness, we’ll make a huge gain.”
“Foolish!”
The Blood Cross member called Second Brother frowned and interrupted the young man’s words, saying coldly, “Opportunity always comes with risk. How do you know there isn’t Ning Fan’s arrangement beside this woman? If we startle him, not only will we miss this great opportunity, but we’ll also expose ourselves completely.”
“Do you think you have stronger skills than the former leader Jian Lanchun and can face Ning Fan head-on without being disadvantaged?”
Second Brother sneered coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Uh… then why am I going over?”
The young man with his head lowered was a bit bewildered. He was an orphan, his parents had passed away, and he was raised by the Blood Cross Organization since childhood. Although he had learned killing and tracking skills, he knew nothing about culture, let alone contemplating such complex schemes.
“Go and see clearly where that woman’s resting place is, then hide nearby, waiting for my news.”
Second Brother pressed his hand down, indicating the young man beside him need not speak further, and said in a deep voice, “No time to lose, act quickly. I’ll go back now to inform Leader Luo Sha and ask him to make the decision. If there’s anyone who can confront Ning Fan head-on without being disadvantaged, it’s only Leader Luo Sha.”
After the two discussed, the young man glanced at the street entrance’s situation, took a deep breath, and blandly walked towards the entrance of the hotel where Qiu Xiuxiu was staying.
The Blood Cross member he called Second Brother had already swiftly left, returning to the luxurious hotel hiding place of Luo Sha and others.
This hotel, naturally, was provided by Ning Qingfeng.
With the Ning Family’s century-long operations in Dragon City, finding a place unnoticed by others was really simple.
In the presidential suite of the luxurious hotel, Luo Sha sat cross-legged on the sofa, with a sheathed treasured sword placed beside his right hand.
Luo Sha’s fingers lightly tapped on the sofa armrest, expressionless, staring at the Blood Cross member bowing in front of him, speaking coldly: “What you said is true?”
“Absolutely true!”
The Blood Cross member called Second Brother licked his slightly dry lower lip due to excitement, and said, “I personally saw Ning Fan and that woman hugging and kissing before separating. Without a doubt, that woman definitely has a special relationship with Ning Fan!”
“Oh… an interesting discovery. What did you do?”
Luo Sha raised an eyebrow, quickly contemplating the benefits this discovery might bring to him.
“Reporting to Leader, I was afraid of being discovered by that vile Ning Fan, so I didn’t act rashly. But I didn’t want to give up this hard-earned clue, so I arranged someone beside the hotel where the woman is staying, just waiting for the leader’s command.”
“Well done!”
Always expressionless, Luo Sha suddenly became excited. He deeply looked at the member before him, unreservedly offering praise, and said, “If every member of Blood Cross was as thoughtful as you, why fret over that vile Ning Fan not dying!”
“Leader means?”
The Blood Cross member standing with a bow before Luo Sha didn’t dare to look up, softly asking Luo Sha’s next plan.
“Hehe, there’s an ancient saying in Huaxia: ‘If Heaven sends, seize not, regret will follow.’ Since Heaven has presented such a good opportunity before me, I naturally have to grasp it.”
Luo Sha’s eyes shone with brilliance. He grabbed the sword sheath beside him, and with a swift move of the right hand, the sword emerged from the sheath with a crisp sound.
“Leader Jian Lanchun, I, Luo Sha, vow by my sword to avenge you, to comfort your spirit in heaven!”
Upon finishing, Luo Sha swiftly ran his right hand across the sword blade, cutting open a large wound on his palm, and blood flowed out.
At the same time, the dozen or so remaining Blood Cross members in the suite bowed down unanimously, a plot targeting the people around Ning Fan gradually took shape.
…
Inside the Dragon City Branch Company, Ning Fan sat on the office chair, listening carefully to Ouyang Feifei’s report.
After a long while, Ning Fan raised his head, with a somewhat strange expression, and asked, “The Dragon City Wang Family sent a contract with a very generous concession space?”
“Correct.”
Ouyang Feifei also found it odd, pointing at the document on the table said, “Just after the company opened this morning, it was already delivered to my desk. I researched it carefully, there are no language traps, it’s real benefits.”
Ouyang Feifei scratched her head, slightly confused, and said, “This Dragon City Wang Family is one of Dragon City’s largest retailers. Our company has never had business dealings with them. It’s unknown why they suddenly delivered such a contract, it’s almost like giving a gift.”
“Maybe they really are giving a gift.”
Ning Fan thought of last night’s events at Junyu KTV, smiled silently, winked at Ouyang Feifei, and said, “Let me guess, is this contract’s initiator named Wang Chao?”
“Mr. Ning already knows?”
Ouyang Feifei, slightly surprised, looked at Ning Fan with her mouth slightly open.
“Just a guess.”
Ning Fan recalled Wang Chao’s terrified expression after witnessing Brother Hu kneel before him and his lips curled in a smile.
“Then… should we cooperate with them?”
“Of course cooperate, why not take advantage of the benefits.”
Ning Fan chuckled and said, “If we really refused, I estimate the Wang Family would instead lose sleep over it, and then cry and shout to our company for us to sign the contract, wouldn’t that become a farce.”
“Understood.”
Though Ouyang Feifei still had doubts in her heart, since Ning Fan had already set the tone, she didn’t ask further and walked out with the documents in her arms.
“These two words, power and influence, that’s all there is.”
Ning Fan watched Ouyang Feifei walk out with the documents, murmuring to himself.
