464: Chapter 463: The Distressed Xu Ruolan [15 Updates] 464: Chapter 463: The Distressed Xu Ruolan [15 Updates] Two days later, at a cemetery in Zhonghai, members of the Xu Family were all dressed in black, with solemn expressions and faces laden with grief.
Today was Nangong Fu’s funeral, and almost everyone from the Xu Family had come.
Ning Fan stood beside Xu Ruolan, with Xu Xiaoqing, Xu Rongfei, and Xu Chengyuan among others beside them.
“Wuuu, my son, how could you just leave like this!”
Nangong Fu’s mother had become a weeping figure in front of Xu Chengyuan, and a man was clenching his fists, glaring furiously at him.
“Chengyuan, I expect an explanation from you about this!”
The middle-aged man standing in front of Xu Chengyuan was Nangong Li, Nangong Fu’s father, who had rushed back overnight from the Magnesium Country after hearing of his son’s demise, his hair turning white over the course of one night.
The devastating news of Nangong Fu’s death had plunged the entire Nangong Family into deep sorrow.
Among them, Nangong Fu’s parents were the most heartbroken.
Xu Chengyuan opened his mouth but did not know how to start speaking to the overnight aged Nangong Li.
Xu Ruolan bit her teeth, wanting to step forward and explain, but Ning Fan quickly held her back.
This matter was not easily explained, and one misstep could potentially turn the two families into sworn enemies.
“Chengyuan, speak up!” Nangong Li nearly roared.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Nangong Fu’s mother had completely fainted from crying at the moment his body was buried.
“I’ve investigated already.
My son’s death has nothing to do with his competitors.
He was doing fine in the Magnesium Country.
Now, because of your good daughter, he ran back to the country and met with a fate of being separated by Yin and Yang.
Don’t you have anything to say?!”
Indeed, Nangong Li still directed his anger towards Xu Ruolan.
Ning Fan, seeing Xu Chengyuan’s helpless demeanor, knew that this had nothing to do with Xu Chengyuan; he simply did not know how to explain.
Having Xu Chengyuan speak would not clarify things.
“Mr.
Nangong, I know you are grieving over your son’s misfortune, but please calm down a bit, this matter has nothing to do with the Xu Family.”
Suddenly, Ning Fan stepped forward to Nangong Fu’s side, speaking calmly.
Only then did Nangong Fu notice Ning Fan, an unfamiliar face at the funeral, and looked at him questioningly while also somewhat impatiently asking, “And who might you be?”
“My name is Ning Fan.
I’m a friend of the Xu Family.
I am truly sorry to hear about your son’s situation, please accept my condolences.”
“Condolences?
How can you ask me to hold back my grief?
My son died for no reason, who will seek justice for him!”
Nangong Li glared at Ning Fan with bloodshot eyes; he, who did not even know the killer, was just a helpless father enduring the pain of losing a son at this moment.
He was desperately trying to find out who was responsible for his son’s death, which was why he had been so agitated earlier.
Ning Fan also understood his feelings, so he continued to speak peacefully, “This matter is complicated, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you who the killer is, we also have our difficulties on this side!”
“Tell me, who exactly is the killer?
I have connections with the head of the Magnesium Country Alliance Investigation Bureau, and the Interpol has friends from the Nangong Family.
I refuse to believe that with the Nangong Family’s power, we cannot bring this killer to justice!”
“Please be a bit calmer!” Ning Fan pressed down on Nangong Li’s shoulder, his voice as if endowed with magic power, seemingly capable of calming one down.
Nangong Li’s figure staggered somewhat as he clutched his head, and his face suddenly became a bit pale.
“Uncle Nangong has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights,” Xu Ruolan explained guiltily at this time.
Ning Fan nodded and simultaneously transferred some True Qi to Nangong Li quietly, improving the color of his face slightly.
“Uncle Nangong, we will give you an explanation for this matter.”
It was then that Xu Ruolan walked over to Nangong Li’s side.
Nangong Li looked at Xu Ruolan and then at Xu Chengyuan, whose grief-stricken face did not seem feigned; his expression was very complex at this moment.
“Hmph!” Nangong Li snorted coldly, then turned and walked toward his wife, who was being supported by servants.
After the funeral, the Xu Family and the Nangong Family parted on bad terms, and the people from the Xu Family who had come to attend the funeral also left one after another.
“God Doctor Ning, what exactly are you and Ruolan hiding from us?”
Xu Chengyuan, looking at Nangong Fu’s gravestone, couldn’t help but think of Nangong Li, who had sent off a younger person with white hair.
Regarding the murder of Nangong Fu, Xu Ruolan had not revealed a single word, and as for Xu Xiaoqing, Xu Chengyuan had not asked, because he didn’t think his youngest daughter would know anything about the matter.
Ning Fan looked at Xu Chengyuan with difficulty, replying helplessly, “Regarding this matter, I can only tell you that I will definitely not let go of the power behind the person who killed Nangong Fu.”
The helpless yet resolute tone left Xu Chengyuan unable to find any flaws, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
At this time, Xu Xiaoqing also ran over and hugged Xu Ruolan’s arm, burying her little head on her sister’s shoulder and began to sob softly.
After all, Nangong Fu was still their relative, and his death deeply saddened people like Xu Xiaoqing.
To be honest, Nangong Fu had never skimped on favors for Xu Xiaoqing in the past, even though his motives were to pursue Xu Ruolan.
“Alas!” Xu Chengyuan sighed deeply.
Having parted unhappily with the Nangong Family, and with Nangong Li’s attitude experiencing a drastic change, Xu Chengyuan was worried that the Nangong Family might turn against them over this matter, which was the last outcome he wanted to see.
The funeral of Nangong Fu was over, and there was no reason for people to stay any longer, so Ning Fan took Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing back home.
After returning home, the two sisters remained silent, especially Xu Ruolan, who seemed to still be blaming herself for the death of Nangong Fu.
At this time, Ning Fan didn’t know how to comfort her and could only stay by her side.
“You have other matters, right?
You don’t have to stay with me…” Seeing Ning Fan sit down, Xu Ruolan shook her head, indicating he didn’t need to worry.
Ning Fan looked at Xu Ruolan somewhat unexpectedly, not having thought that she would notice something was amiss.
“On the way back, you already seemed preoccupied with heavy thoughts, anyone could see that.
If you have something you need to do, then go ahead, don’t mind me.”
Xu Ruolan’s senses were still so sharp.
She could tell that Ning Fan had something on his mind.
As for what it was, Xu Ruolan did not plan to ask further.
If Ning Fan wanted to tell her, he would certainly do so of his own accord, and if he didn’t want to say it, nobody could pry his mouth open.
Still somewhat worried about Xu Ruolan’s current state, Ning Fan ended up keeping her company a while longer.
