453: Chapter 452: Abducting Xu Rongfei 453: Chapter 452: Abducting Xu Rongfei At the dining table, Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan argued incessantly, with the flames of war spreading to the innocent Xu Xiaoqing, whose suffering was compounded by the cold war between the two.
As the cold war escalated further, Xu Xiaoqing felt she was going crazy.
Glancing at the dishes piled up in her own bowl, she first asked the two to stop, then stood up and told them, “I don’t think I’m very hungry, you two eat, just eat, you don’t need to worry about me!”
Xu Xiaoqing now dared not stay there any longer; wherever Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan were together, there would be flames of war, and her smaller frame couldn’t withstand the double pressure from both of them.
Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan stared at each other, neither speaking again, and the atmosphere turned frosty once more after Xu Xiaoqing escaped upstairs to her room.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” Xu Ruolan asked coldly, staring at Ning Fan.
She tapped the table, as if to remind him of something.
Ning Fan curled his lips and clicked his tongue, “Tsk, what else can I say?
I’m not hungry either.
Enjoy your meal.”
Xu Ruolan seemed to still be taking the side of that impostor Nangong Fu, and Ning Fan didn’t want to argue with her any longer, promptly standing up to be the second to head upstairs.
Xu Ruolan was angry over the fight Ning Fan had engaged in, and Ning Fan was equally furious due to her mistrust.
For a time, both felt justified in their stance and were unwilling to give an inch, with the cold war at home continuing.
“Sigh…”
After Ning Fan left, Xu Ruolan let out a heavy sigh.
…
It was completely dark outside when a red Ferrari pulled into the garage of Xu Rongfei’s villa.
Dressed in a sexy outfit, Xu Rongfei stepped out of the Ferrari, exuding a mature and alluring aura.
“Ning Fan seems to have already returned, I should find another chance to see him…” Xu Rongfei muttered to herself while holding her keys.
She hadn’t given up on Ning Fan, even if her rival in love was her own niece, Xu Ruolan.
“Who’s there?!”
Suddenly, Xu Rongfei saw a man standing at the entrance of the house.
The man held a cigar, standing in the shadow, and only the glow of the cigar’s ember was visible but not the man’s face.
On spotting someone there, Xu Rongfei immediately became alert.
The man didn’t respond, so Xu Rongfei approached a few tentative steps with furrowed brows.
Once closer, Xu Rongfei recognized that the man standing at her doorstep was none other than Nangong Fu!
Xu Rongfei breathed a sigh of relief but then became confused, wondering why Nangong Fu would come to see her.
“Nangong Fu, what are you doing here so late?” Xu Rongfei eyed Nangong Fu warily, not letting her guard down despite knowing the visitor.
Unlike her sisters Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing, Xu Rongfei had little to do with Nangong Fu in the past.
Nangong Fu’s visits to the Xu Family were mostly to see Xu Ruolan, and they were only distant relatives at best—barely acquainted.
Now that Nangong Fu had come unannounced and at such a late hour, Xu Rongfei couldn’t grasp what was the motive behind his visit.
Nangong Fu removed his cigar, smiled, and responded to Xu Rongfei, “Auntie, I’ve come all this way, so how about you invite me up for a cup of tea?”
Xu Rongfei, seeing Nangong Fu speak to her in such a frivolous tone, instantly felt repelled, becoming even more wary of him.
In Xu Rongfei’s eyes, this Nangong Fu was odd, not the Nangong Fu she remembered, as if he had become a different person.
Although Nangong Fu was an extremely arrogant person, and his meetings with Xu Rongfei were few, he had always been quite polite in her presence, given the hierarchy of their relationship.
“I am not your aunt, and I am very tired.
It’s late, so you better head back now,” Xu Rongfei dared not let Nangong Fu stay, as she had already noticed something off about him and thus directly refused him.
After speaking, Xu Rongfei indifferently made her way toward the entrance of the house, while her hand quietly clutched an alarm device.
Should Nangong Fu make any sudden move, she was ready to press it.
“My dear aunt, why be so heartless?
I’ve really missed you!”
Nangong Fu laughed oddly, a flash of red gleaming in his eyes as his shape suddenly changed, and with swift speed, he grabbed Xu Rongfei’s wrist.
Xu Rongfei felt pain, and despite herself, her hand opened, dropping the alarm device to the ground.
“You little bastard, what do you think you’re doing?!” Xu Rongfei scolded Nangong Fu with the tone of an elder.
Nangong Fu, however, appeared calm, and with a smile still on his face, he gazed down at the alarm device on the ground, speaking with a tinge of sadness in his voice, “Auntie, this attitude of yours really puts me in a difficult position.
Do I look like a bad person?
Even using an alarm device!”
Xu Rongfei clenched her teeth, waiting for Nangong Fu’s move, her eyes suddenly shifted as she couldn’t help but shout, “Who are you, exactly?!”
After hearing Xu Rongfei’s scream, Nangong Fu started to laugh; his laughter was very sinister, causing Xu Rongfei to panic.
“It seems your niece is quite naive compared to you, Auntie.
But that means you can’t go just yet.
Come with me!”
Nangong Fu looked at Xu Rongfei with a ferocious face.
To be precise, the human skin mask on Nangong Fu’s face was beginning to fall off, his entire face wrinkling up, looking extremely terrifying.
“Let go of me!” Xu Rongfei struggled, but how could she, a woman, break free from the grip of a warrior from the Fang Guild?
All her struggling was in vain; Nangong Fu delivered a chop to Xu Rongfei’s neck.
In the darkness, two figures flashed by, and two white men in leather coats appeared beside Nangong Fu.
They stuffed Xu Rongfei into the trunk of a car parked roadside, and then sped away.
“Now, the game can begin.” Nangong Fu sat in the middle of the car’s back seat and pulled out his phone, dialing a number.
Doo-doo-doo—
“Hello?”
Ning Fan’s voice came through the phone, and Nangong Fu’s lips curved into a cold smirk.
“Heh heh, Asura, I’m really sorry about today’s incident.”
On the other end of the phone, Ning Fan’s eyes widened, as he shouted, “Who exactly are you?”
Nangong Fu moved the phone away from his ear for a moment before speaking slowly, “Hehe, Asura, don’t be so excited.
Who I am isn’t important.
What’s important is that I’d like to play a very entertaining game with you.
Would Asura be willing to play with me?”
Ning Fan was silent for a moment, and after roughly five seconds, an icy voice resonated from the phone.
“How do you want to play?
You know who I am and still dare to play with me?
Do you have a death wish?”
