Ning for Help 670: Chapter 659: Ask Mr.
Ning for Help Chen Fengnan’s manor was built on the outskirts of the remote countryside, where he had purchased all the land within a hundred miles, so the sound of gunfire here, apart from themselves, simply couldn’t reach anywhere else, let alone be noticed by any unrelated persons.
As the defense system of Rose Manor activated, the entire manor had become a steel fortress.
As for the uninvited guests who had emerged from the woods, aside from forming a front line in the distance with Humvees to surround this place, that was all they did.
For the moment, there was no threat of the manor being breached.
They were strong and well-fortified, so theoretically, they should have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
“I hadn’t expected them to be so anxious.
I had wanted to prepare properly before hosting them,” he said.
Chen Fengnan sat in his study.
Even if the soundproofing of the room was good, with such a commotion outside, he could still hear it.
Realizing that those lurking in the shadows had already made their move so swiftly was astonishing to Chen Fengnan.
He was puzzled about how his whereabouts had been exposed.
Thump, thump, thump, the door to the room was suddenly knocked.
Chen Fengnan turned his head towards the door of the study, “Come in.”
“Mr.
Chen, the enemy came prepared, and we cannot rule out the possibility of more dangerous heavy firepower.
I suggest we contact the SAS and have them come to support us,” Ah Yu proposed after entering the room.
The SAS, the Royal Special Air Service of Eagle Country, was an elite special operations force—Chen Fengnan needed to say only one word, and the military of Eagle Country would dispatch them here.
“If the situation is still under control, then there’s no need,” he replied.
Although Chen Fengnan could call on British assistance with just one word, the Chen Financial Conglomerate would then owe a considerable favor.
He was not the kind of person who didn’t listen to advice.
On the contrary, he understood Ah Yu’s concerns and knew she was considering his safety.
But if the situation could still be managed, Chen Fengnan did not want the British to help them, so as not to owe a favor.
A favor, especially one owed to a country, could be very difficult to repay later.
Ah Yu did not insist, but her brows remained furrowed.
“Are you worried?” Chen Fengnan noticed Ah Yu’s troubled expression.
Ah Yu nodded.
Indeed, she was worried.
Frankly, since the enemy had launched their attack and surrounded the manor, she had been restless, with an ominous premonition lingering in her mind.
Ah Yu, who consistently had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, had just thought about advising Chen Fengnan to contact the military of Eagle Country, disposing of the people outside as soon as possible, and then relocating to a safe position.
This time, their whereabouts had been completely exposed to the enemy, and even Ah Yu had no clue as to where the leak had occurred.
The secret of Chen Fengnan’s departure from Huaxia was known to few, and for safety, he even left a decoy in Zhonghai to mislead others.
Yet, in the shadows, an unknown enemy had their whereabouts completely in their grasp.
“Maybe I’m being too sensitive…” Ah Yu said, as if to reassure herself or as if it were a prayer.
Whether she was being too sensitive or not, Chen Fengnan didn’t care, but Ah Yu’s current state was indeed a wake-up call for him.
Since someone had completely mastered his movements and had held back for so long without making a move in Huaxia, preferring to wait in the shadows until he was in Europe to bare their fangs, it proved that the opponent definitely had a meticulous plan.
This point could not be overlooked, and Chen Fengnan was confident but not arrogant.
Even as one of the people in the world who wielded the most wealth, he understood that money was not omnipotent—there were some people who could not be resisted even by thousands of troops.
If such a person was provoked, then death would not be far off.
Countless hidden masters roamed the world unseen, and numerous powerful organizations were in abundance.
Otherwise, Chen Fengnan wouldn’t have placed such importance on Ning Fan.
Martial artists of Ning Fan’s caliber were not easily hired, even with vast wealth.
“When can our people in Europe get here?”
“In the quickest case, one hour.”
“One hour…
let’s wait one day then.
If it’s still not safe to transfer by tomorrow morning, contact Mr.
Ning.”
Chen Fengnan still insisted on not seeking help from the British authorities, preferring to owe a favor to Ning Fan rather than to the nation itself.
If befriending Ning Fan meant having help in times of trouble, then in the event that they couldn’t overcome this difficulty on their own, it was time for that safety net to come into play.
In Chen Fengnan’s view, lasting one more day here should not pose a problem.
Hearing Chen Fengnan’s words, Ah Yu also sighed in relief, feeling that if Ning Fan could come, any problem would seem solvable as if it would be cut through like butter.
The battle outside Rose Manor continued, and in the woods, countless black-clad figures were still hidden, fully armed, looking in the direction of the manor and revealing insidious faces.
“I didn’t think Chen Fengnan would be so cautious; this beautiful manor is well-designed.”
“Gege Ros, have you taken a liking to this place?
Don’t worry.
Once we deal with Chen Fengnan, this place will be yours, and no one will fight you for it.”
“Hmph, Rupert, you’re the only one in the organization who can talk!”
Two men stood at the edge of the wooded area, eyeing Chen Fengnan’s Rose Manor and casually discussing, seemingly unconcerned about whether the Rose Manor was truly as impregnable as it appeared or when Chen Fengnan’s forces from Europe might arrive to assist.
“They’re definitely waiting for reinforcements, what a pity, because there won’t be any, hahaha!”
The man named Rupert laughed heartily, reflecting on the extensive preparations and the long wait that had preceded this operation.
In Huaxia, they couldn’t make their move, but here in Europe, they could act with impunity.
As for Chen Fengnan’s power in Europe—unfortunately for him, they had already factored that into their plans; otherwise, they would not have been so rash in taking action.
No reinforcements would be arriving.
Even if the military from Eagle Country came, they wouldn’t be afraid, especially since they had made ample preparations for that contingency as well.
“We’ll wait for nightfall before delivering them a big surprise,” Gege Ros said insidiously, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
He was determined to obtain Chen Fengnan’s head this time.
Rupert looked at him curiously and chuckled, “Oh?
Are you planning to take action yourself?”
“Hmph, are they worthy of me taking action personally?
The Four King Kongs, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning—let those below handle it.”
“Isn’t that a bit risky?
For safety’s sake, I suggest you should personally lead the team.”
“If they fail such a simple task, it only proves they’re a bunch of trash, and trash doesn’t deserve to live here!”
“So ruthless, but I like it!”
