Chapter 1148: Chapter 1137: The Death of Ning Xinlan
Ning Xinlan immediately became furious, pushed the car door open, and charged at Ning Fan with outstretched claws, “Ning Fan, you shameless bastard, I will fight you to the death.”
“Heh.” Ning Fan flicked his wrist, watching Ning Xinlan’s figure getting closer and closer.
When there was only half a meter left, Ning Fan suddenly kicked out like a cannonball.
Bang!
Ning Xinlan was sent flying, drawing a perfect parabola, and landed on the ground in a disheveled state, her face scratched.
It was an undeniably heavy fall.
Even though Ning Xinlan had cultivation, she couldn’t withstand the overwhelming pain.
She clutched her chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked at Ning Fan with hatred, and gritted her teeth, “Ning Fan, as long as I’m alive, I will be your enemy, we will fight to the death.”
“You are destined to have no chance for revenge!”
Saying this, Ning Fan drew a dagger from the Shadow Team member beside him and threw it furiously.
Swish…
The dagger flew like an arrow, swiftly shooting towards Ning Xinlan.
“What?”
Ning Xinlan was terrified, her face pale.
Before she knew it, it was too late to dodge, and she could only watch as the dagger pierced her chest.
Ning Xinlan found it hard to breathe, blood flowing uncontrollably, her eyes rolled back, and she went motionless.
Ning Fan sneered, “To think you dared to order someone to attempt to sever my veins, destroy my Baihui, death is too lenient a punishment!”
The heavy scent of blood spread, making the air even more murderous in the autumn breeze.
Ning Fan didn’t even glance at the dead Ning Xinlan, saying indifferently, “Feifei, handle the aftermath well, I’ll be leaving first.”
“Rest assured, Mr. Ning.”
Ouyang Feifei respectfully clasped her hands, then waved to the Shadow Team.
She knew that those who dared to provoke Ning Fan all ended up the same way–dead.
And Ning Fan never had any compunction about killing enemies, whether male or female.
…
The next morning.
A member of the Nalan Clan came to the Ning Family villa, seeking an audience with Ning Qiankun.
Ning Qiankun thought the Nalan Clan had come to seek retribution, so he politely invited them into the living room.
After they were seated, Ning Qiankun got straight to the point, “Why have you come this time?”
“Family Head Ning, I have worked under the eldest miss Nalan Yanfeng for many years. Previously, she and Ning Qingfeng plotted to kill Ning Fan. But now, the eldest miss regrets it. This plan not only cost her husband his life, but she has also been expelled from the Ning Family and has nowhere to go.
But after all, Ning Qingfeng and the eldest miss were married for many years, and even without affection, there was camaraderie. The eldest miss hopes to retrieve Ning Qingfeng’s ashes and give him a proper burial. Is it possible?
That member of the Nalan Clan revealed the purpose of their visit.
“Heh.” Ning Qiankun shook his head and refused, “Brother, it’s not that I disagree, but Ning Qingfeng is a descendant of the Ning Family. After his death, he should return to his roots and be buried in our family tomb, what connection does this have with your Nalan Family?”
“Uh…”
The Nalan Clan member was rendered speechless and momentarily couldn’t find the words.
Ning Qiankun took a sip of tea and sneered, “Nalan Yanfeng is malicious and uses any means necessary, solely based on her moods. If this matter really comes from good intentions, I truly don’t believe it.”
“Alas…” the Nalan Clan member sighed helplessly, “Family Head Ning, I admit our eldest miss is a bit arrogant and unruly. However, since Ning Qingfeng’s death, she has reflected deeply and no longer behaves arrogantly. She has decided to wholeheartedly keep vigil for Ning Qingfeng and remain a daughter-in-law of the Ning Family.”
“No way!”
Ning Qiankun flatly refused to give the woman any chances.
The Nalan Clan member, however, made a lower plea, “Elder Ning, since you won’t agree to that, I have a small, selfish request.”
“Speak your mind.”
Ning Qiankun was noticeably impatient, hinting he wanted to see them out.
The Nalan Clan member quickly said, “Our eldest miss, after being a daughter-in-law of the Ning Family for many years, feels she hasn’t properly honored you. She feels quite regretful, so she has arranged a banquet at the Dragon City Hotel, hoping to talk with you one last time before leaving the Ning Family.”
“This…”
Ning Qiankun was torn, finding it hard to decide.
It’s true that Nalan Yanfeng is arrogant.
However, during her time with the Ning Family, she fiercely protected us, contributing greatly to our peace with the Nalan Clan.
Now that Ning Fan has just been appointed as the heir of the Family Head, with his foundation still unstable, nothing can go wrong at this time.
To maintain peaceful relations with the Nalan Family, it seems that I must attend this banquet.
Despite some reluctance, Ning Qiankun nodded, “Tell Nalan Yanfeng I will arrive on time, rest assured.”
“Haha, Elder Liu indeed is forthright.”
The Nalan Clan member grinned widely and bowed to Qiankun, “Tonight at 5 p.m., we eagerly await your esteemed presence at the Dragon City Hotel.”
“I will definitely arrive on time.”
Ning Qiankun nodded and waved dismissively.
He had no interest in the matter but was obliged to go, feeling a bit like being pushed into it.
After the person left, Ning Qiankun was lost in thought.
Would Nalan Yanfeng truly be so filial?
As the saying goes, it is difficult to change one’s nature, and a leopard cannot change its spots.
It was truly unbelievable to say that Nalan Yanfeng could change her ways in such a short time.
Ning Qiankun clicked his tongue silently, yet little did he know that a massive conspiracy awaited him, ready to bring him to ruin.
…
Time flew by like a fleeting moment.
Before long, the shadows stretched, reaching the appointed time of 5 p.m.
Ning Qiankun traveled light and arrived punctually at the Dragon City Hotel.
As he got out of the car, a member of the Nalan Clan led him to the luxurious suite on the top floor.
“Elder Ning, finally you’ve arrived, our eldest miss has been anxiously waiting.”
Upon receiving the notification, Nalan Yanfeng came out, feigning enthusiasm, “Father-in-law, your daughter-in-law greets you.”
“Enough.”
Ning Qiankun waved his hand, noticing her amputated arm now bandaged, appearing quite pitiful.
When one gets old, they tend to have a compassionate heart. Seeing the disabled Nalan Yanfeng made him somewhat sad.
After entering the luxurious suite and being seated.
Lin Qiankun sat at the table, looking at the dishes, nodding in satisfaction.
As Ning Qiankun’s daughter-in-law, Nalan Yanfeng certainly had a deep understanding of his preferences over the years. Thus, under her arrangement, the meal was crafted to be exquisite and unique, without seeking opulence.
The table mainly featured vegetarian dishes, with little fish or meat.
“Father-in-law, are you satisfied with your daughter-in-law’s arrangements?”
