526: Chapter 525: Arrival of the Tang Clan 526: Chapter 525: Arrival of the Tang Clan Xu Ruolan, although not versed in medical techniques, knew too well how renowned the Tang Clan was.
When she heard that Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing had caused such a disaster on their outing, even going so far as to take down the signboard of the Tang Clan, Xu Ruolan felt her mind reel with dizziness.
“You two are insane, that’s the Tang Clan, do you have any idea what you’ve done?” Xu Ruolan looked at the pair in disbelief.
Especially when she saw Xu Xiaoqing, all excited, she felt the world had truly gone mad.
“Calm down, it’s just a signboard.
Look, it’s so heavy, if we sold it, it would probably fetch a good price,” Ning Fan waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly.
In Ning Fan’s mind, the Tang Clan was just a trivial matter, not worth a second glance.
But that wasn’t the case for Xu Ruolan.
In her view, Ning Fan had provoked the Tang Clan.
If the Tang Clan became enraged, Ning Fan wouldn’t be able to withstand their wrath.
However, the fact that Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing could return safely from the Tang Clan suggested that there had been no significant action from the Clan yet.
But the very next morning,
as soon as Xu Ruolan went downstairs to go to work, she saw a black luxury car parked at the gate of her villa.
Around the car, some guards in black suits were standing vigil.
“What are you doing here?” Xu Ruolan asked curiously.
Next to the car stood a middle-aged man who was smiling amiably.
Hearing Xu Ruolan’s question, he turned his head to look at her and replied, “We are from the Tang Clan.
Elder Tang has been waiting here for quite some time.”
“The Tang Clan…
Elder Tang?
Tang Fanghua!” Xu Ruolan was so frightened that she almost dropped her car keys.
She didn’t even stop to speak before turning and running back inside.
“Ning Fan!
Ning Fan, come out quickly!” Xu Ruolan’s face paled with fear.
Not only had the people from the Tang Clan come, but the one who had come was the helmsman of the Tang Clan, Elder Tang Fanghua himself.
With Xu Ruolan’s status, even if she met Elder Tang, she would have to respectfully call him Elder Tang.
Elder Tang’s status in certain social circles was that of an absolutely influential figure.
Now, this important person had come directly to her doorstep.
Ning Fan came out of the room leisurely, looked at Xu Ruolan, and asked, “What’s the hurry?”
“People from the Tang Clan are here, what do we do?
What do we do?” Xu Ruolan was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, going in circles.
“I know, the black car outside, it’s no big deal,” Ning Fan said casually, slipping on his shirt.
“But those are people from the Tang Clan, here specifically for you, probably about the sign you took down yesterday.
You should leave through the back door, go hide somewhere,” Xu Ruolan said worriedly.
In her mind, the Tang Clan had come to settle scores.
“Hide?
Why should I hide?” Ning Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.
He now kind of regretted not allowing Xu Xiaoqing to explain things more clearly yesterday.
If Xu Ruolan knew that he had actually defeated a group of the Tang Clan’s top experts right at the gate of the Clan, he wondered what she would think.
“Have you gone mad?
Do you know who the person outside is?
It’s Elder Tang Fanghua from the Tang Clan!” Xu Ruolan shrieked.
She wished she could pry open Ning Fan’s head to see just what on earth was packed inside.
Not only had the Tang Clan’s people arrived, but it was the Tang Clan’s Elder Tang who personally came to stir up trouble.
Xu Ruolan was scared to death, yet Ning Fan acted as if nothing was wrong.
Could it be that he truly didn’t understand what Elder Tang represented?
Could it be that he didn’t know just how amazing the Tang Clan was?
“I know, he called when he was on his way,” Ning Fan casually said.
Elder Tang had called when he got here, but it wasn’t too long ago, only about ten minutes or so.
He hadn’t expected Xu Ruolan to be so anxious.
“Since he’s already here and even gave you a call, how can you be so relaxed?
Are you looking to die!” Xu Ruolan was so angry she was nearly blowing bubbles from her nose.
“Stay calm, his coming is his business.
I’m not even dressed yet; I can’t possibly meet him with nothing on, can I?” Ning Fan said, unable to suppress a smile.
How could Xu Ruolan be more anxious than himself after such an incident?
But he could feel that Xu Ruolan truly cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn’t be acting like this.
This made his heart feel very comfortable and warm.
“It shouldn’t take you over ten minutes to get dressed.
Hurry up, now that you’re dressed, let’s go out and apologize quickly,” Xu Ruolan said hurriedly, pulling Ning Fan out as she saw he was ready.
Ning Fan, having no choice, allowed himself to be dragged out.
The middle-aged man standing beside the car saw the two coming out and bent down to say something to Elder Tang inside the car.
Unexpectedly, Elder Tang actually got out of the car.
Seeing the exiting Elder Tang, Xu Ruolan felt her heart drop.
It really was Elder Tang.
Such a high-status figure was hard to meet even once a year, and yet now he was appearing right at her doorstep.
“Elder, Elder Tang, hello,” Xu Ruolan greeted nervously.
“Hmm, hello,” Elder Tang replied with a polite smile, then turned to look at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan responded with an impatient tone, “Old man, you’re not following the rules.
Didn’t we agree on three days?
How come you’ve come to find me on the second day?”
The term “old man” nearly scared Xu Ruolan to death.
To call the Tang Clan’s Elder Tang “old man” was practically a death wish.
Xu Ruolan even thought that Ning Fan had realized his mistake and decided to be utterly reckless.
She awkwardly looked to Elder Tang and said, “Elder Tang, please don’t mind him, he’s just…”
Elder Tang looked at Xu Ruolan curiously, somewhat puzzled by the girl’s demeanor.
“You’re not here to take the plaque back now, are you?
Are you in such a hurry?” Ning Fan said, oblivious to Xu Ruolan’s worries.
Despite Xu Ruolan’s odd reaction, Elder Tang didn’t dwell on it.
Hearing Ning Fa’s words, he simply turned his head to look over, then continued, “Indeed, our agreement does have three days left, no rush.
I’m not here to collect the plaque today, I just wanted to invite you for a cup of tea.
We’re all part of the medical community; sometimes it’s necessary to have a casual chat, don’t you agree?”
Xu Ruolan stopped her words abruptly, noticing that the elder didn’t seem interested in what she had to say, so she simply fell silent.
But the elder’s attitude and reaction towards Ning Fan puzzled her greatly.
