716: Chapter 705: Lonely Spirits and Wild Ghosts Make Their Move 716: Chapter 705: Lonely Spirits and Wild Ghosts Make Their Move In the West District’s Six Fan Gate, Zi Hongyu excitedly clutched her phone, her eyes flashing with a very dazzling light.
“Are you telling the truth?”
“Absolutely, Zi Ye, there’s no mistaking it.
I’ve confirmed it myself—the hotel is now full of our informants.
Those two guys have definitely checked in!”
“Wait, you sent someone in?”
Zi Hongyu’s face, which had been full of joy, suddenly stiffened, and her expression turned somewhat ugly.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to detect the displeasure in Zi Hongyu’s voice and paused.
“What’s wrong, Zi Ye?”
“What do you think is wrong?
You’re good for nothing but screwing things up.
Who told you to send people?
Don’t you ever think before you act?”
Zi Hongyu was frustrated.
Ning Fan had instructed them that if they found these two individuals, they absolutely must not act rashly—he planned to deal with them personally.
One could imagine the strength of these two was so terrifying that they were beyond their capability to confront.
Moreover, recklessly sending people to watch them could spook the targets and mess up Ning Fan’s big plan.
“But, Zi Ye…”
The voice tried to argue, but was cut off by Zi Hongyu before he could finish.
“Enough, call your people back right now.
The higher-ups will handle the rest.
And reward the informant who provided this message generously!”
Zi Hongyu made a decisive command to bring the people back, and her mood somewhat improved.
She had obtained this information before the Eagle did; how could Zi Hongyu not be pleased?
Having made mistakes in the past, Zi Hongyu felt that Ning Fan no longer trusted her, so she had been looking for ways to improve her standing in Ning Fan’s eyes.
This time Ning Fan attached great importance to the matter, issuing orders personally.
Instances where the underworld of Zhonghai was so united were few and far between.
Zi Hongyu took this very seriously.
Now with the information in hand, she believed Ning Fan would be pleased.
Although Zi Hongyu didn’t expect to outdo the Eagle, she at least wanted to regain Ning Fan’s trust; otherwise, despite Ning Fan not seeming to target her, Zi Hongyu felt uneasy.
“Move quickly, and if you mess up Jiuye’s big plan, I will twist your heads off to use as urinals!”
After saying this, Zi Hongyu hung up the phone.
Thinking of finally accomplishing something good for Ning Fan, she felt excitement and moved about the room like a child.
After calming her emotions, she immediately dialed Ning Fan’s phone number.
“Zi Hongyu?”
“Jiuye!”
Noises filled the other end of the phone; Ning Fan was still in a bar, naturally surrounded by uproar.
Yet his voice was clearly captured by Zi Hongyu, and to her, that voice was as thunderous as ever.
“I have news!”
Containing her excitement, Zi Hongyu tried to keep her voice from being too enthusiastic; she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Jiuye.
“Oh?” Ning Fan sounded surprised, “That fast?”
It was indeed somewhat fast.
In Ning Fan’s estimation, the operation had just started not long ago, but Zi Hongyu already had news to report, which made Ning Fan see her in a new light.
“Are you sure it’s those two?”
“Positive, one hundred percent sure.
Zhonghai International Hotel!”
“Well done!”
A simple compliment was all it took to make Zi Hongyu ecstatic, even without any tangible rewards.
Zi Hongyu just hoped to regain some favor in Ning Fan’s eyes.
In the underworld of Zhonghai, the Eagle, being Ning Fan’s confidant, almost had a monopolistic presence.
Although he operated under the leadership of Ninth Master, his position was still somewhat awkward due to past events.
In fact, Zi Hongyu was afraid of death.
It had not been easy to get to his current position.
He had once been one of Ning Fan’s four great generals, but now the Eagle was the only one basking in the limelight.
Although Zi Hongyu felt aggrieved, he knew that if he wanted a share of the spoils, he had to take action and atone for his past mistakes with tangible efforts.
Today, Zi Hongyu finally found an opportunity.
He believed that with the merit of this operation, the status of Six Fan Gate in Zhonghai would no longer be as awkward as before.
He didn’t aspire for much, at least to be on par with Mad Sect!
“I’ll handle this matter myself, you guys can rest.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I will inform Eagle and the others.”
“Heh heh, Zi Hongyu, I didn’t expect you to bring me a pleasant surprise today.
It seems I have to look at you with new eyes after just three days!”
“It’s all thanks to Ninth Master’s excellent guidance!”
“Alright, stop with the flattery, those two are not someone you can deal with, don’t act recklessly.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After hanging up the phone, Zi Hongyu could no longer contain his exuberance and nearly shouted out loud.
He took a deep breath and immediately informed Eagle and the others of the news.
On the other end, after Ning Fan hung up the phone, he immediately downed a glass of wine, his lips curling into a subtly wicked smile.
“Looks like it’s good news?”
Xiao Jianming’s eyes lit up, and even Di Baitian turned his head to look over.
After taking the call, Ning Fan’s aura seemed to have changed markedly.
“The fish has entered the net!”
Teng Huayang and Teng Dong had arrived in Zhonghai and had been spotted by Zi Hongyu’s men as soon as they set foot in the city; it was as if heaven itself was lending a helping hand.
Now that these two were fully exposed to Ning Fan and his men’s sight, capturing them would be effortless, wouldn’t it?
“So soon there’s news!”
Xiao Jianming was also surprised.
Although he knew about Ning Fan’s influence in Zhonghai, this was incredibly fast!
What Ning Fan, Zi Hongyu, and the others did not know was that this time it was a bit of serendipity.
Teng Huayang and Teng Dong had happened to get into a car belonging to a Six Fan Gate informant, and since they encountered the informant before the message got out, there was no issue of exposure.
Though unaware of the twists and turns in the process, Ning Fan didn’t care.
Since the fish had entered the net, it was time for them to get ready.
“Lone Souls and Wild Ghosts.”
“Lord Asura…”
Two shadowy figures drifted over, like real ghosts, giving Xiao Jianming, who was seeing them for the first time, quite a scare—he thought he had seen actual ghosts.
As for the unpredictably appearing Lone Souls and Wild Ghosts, Ning Fan and Di Baitian were already accustomed to them; these two indeed had remarkable skills.
“Go to Zhonghai International Hotel, keep an eye on those two.”
Ning Fan glanced at the two indifferently.
To him, Teng Huayang and Teng Dong were surely Martial Artists, which is why he didn’t allow Eagle or Zi Hongyu’s men to act rashly.
But entrusting the task to the Lone Souls and Wild Ghosts was different; Ning Fan had great faith in their abilities.
