676: Chapter 665: Ning Fan’s Awareness 676: Chapter 665: Ning Fan’s Awareness England and Huaxia have a time difference of seven hours, with Huaxia being ahead.
When it’s the middle of the night at Chen Fengnan’s Rose Manor, it’s daytime in Zhonghai.
The sun was shining brightly, and Huo Zhanyuan awkwardly stood in the guard booth at the entrance of the underground garage.
In the entire security department, he was the only one who drove a sports car to work every day.
The young master of the Huo Family was actually working as a lowly security guard here, an unbelievable story if ever there was one.
Huo Zhanyuan had originally taken the security job just to get close to Ning Fan.
But the effect had been nonexistent so far.
After joining the security department, although Zhu Xuetao had assigned him to work under Ning Fan, Ning Fan knew very well why this guy was here, so he simply turned into a hands-off manager.
The reason Huo Zhanyuan was standing guard in the parking garage was also Ning Fan’s arrangement.
Given Huo Zhanyuan’s temperament, standing in such a place was definitely humiliating for him.
Ning Fan just wanted to see how long this guy could last, he couldn’t believe this guy could actually face it and stay.
“Oh, quite honest, not slacking off.”
Ning Fan came in from outside, and the moment Huo Zhanyuan saw him, he acted like a mouse seeing a cat, and suddenly became very docile.
Surprised at seeing Huo Zhanyuan behaving and standing guard so obediently, Ning Fan, though he disliked this guy, had to admit that he had really resolved himself this time; otherwise, with his usual demeanor, he would have likely stormed off long ago.
The Huo Family was currently in a difficult situation, and they were trying to win over Ning Fan, which Ning Fan also understood.
Looking at Huo Zhanyuan, sometimes Ning Fan couldn’t help but wonder what in the world Huo Yuanshan was thinking when he decided to send Huo Zhanyuan to win him over.
Huo Yuanshan really wasn’t afraid of this guy messing up and making things worse.
“Of course, this is the task you gave me.
I wouldn’t dare neglect it!”
Huo Zhanyuan’s face wore a forced smile.
While he said this, only he knew what he was truly thinking.
Perhaps he was cursing him inwardly for all Ning Fan knew.
Thinking this, Ning Fan wasn’t worried about possibly condemning the guy unjustly because this matched his impression of Huo Zhanyuan.
Whether it was four years ago or now, having interacted with Huo Zhanyuan, Ning Fan saw him as unchanged—always reveling in extravagance, leveraging his position to bully others, arrogant yet incompetent, unable to tolerate slight grievances.
When faced with issues he couldn’t handle, his first reaction was to seek help from his family; if Huo Qiuran could solve it, he’d turn to Huo Qiuran, and if not, Huo Zhanyuan would obediently run to Huo Yuanshan to complain.
Huo Yuanshan’s side was unknown to Ning Fan, but he did know that Huo Qiuran, as his sister, had a hard life because of her good-for-nothing brother.
If only this guy had a bit of ambition and a better nature, Huo Qiuran wouldn’t have to be so cold towards Huo Zhanyuan, after all, he was still her younger brother.
“When exactly do you plan to stop playing around?”
Ning Fan suddenly spoke, his gaze turning scrutinous.
“Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?
I don’t understand!”
Huo Zhanyuan’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes a bit vacant as he stammered under Ning Fan’s scrutinizing gaze.
“What do I mean?
Can’t you understand?
You haven’t become that stupid, have you?”
Seeing Huo Zhanyuan now playing dumb, Ning Fan smiled, leaning against the door and studying him carefully.
The new security uniform he wore was neat, but it looked incredibly out of place.
Although Huo Zhanyuan was known for his lack of education and was a thorough profligate, he was still a member of the Huo family.
Raised in luxury from a young age, one could tell at a glance that he was different from ordinary people.
Huo Zhanyuan had persisted for several days now.
Ning Fan didn’t know where this persistence came from, nor did he care.
The fact that he hadn’t kicked the boy out already was merciful enough.
The boy came here to get close to him, trying to win him over, but Ning Fan was not going to let him have his way.
Whenever Huo Zhanyuan tried to approach, Ning Fan had only one thing to say, and that was that he was useless here unless Huo Zhanyuan could convince Huo Qiuran.
Every time he heard Ning Fan say this, Huo Zhanyuan felt incredibly frustrated.
If he could have convinced Huo Qiuran, would he even need to come here?
Compared to Ning Fan, who might beat him up at any moment, Huo Zhanyuan now dreaded facing his own sister, Huo Qiuran, even more.
After almost being turned away last time at her place and seeing the utter disappointment in Huo Qiuran’s eyes, Huo Zhanyuan felt indescribably miserable.
“Brother-in-law, I sincerely call you brother-in-law.
Why don’t you rip out my heart!”
Huo Zhanyuan looked wronged, as if telling Ning Fan that he truly came to apologize this time.
The boy’s acting was on point, too bad Ning Fan wasn’t buying any of it.
After hearing what Huo Zhanyuan had said, Ning Fan grimly smiled, “Really?
I’ve been wanting to try that, to see if your heart is red like a normal person’s!”
Now Huo Zhanyuan was scared.
Seeing Ning Fan approaching with a murderous look, as if he really intended to rip out his heart, he instinctively stepped back.
“I’m kidding!”
As Ning Fan got closer and raised his hand as if about to strike, Huo Zhanyuan couldn’t take it anymore.
With cold sweat on his forehead, he cried out in desperation.
Ning Fan raised his hand to straighten his collar and scoffed, “Why so nervous?
I was joking too.”
Your expression doesn’t look like you were joking …
That’s what Huo Zhanyuan thought, looking at Ning Fan with unspeakable grievances in his heart.
“Seriously, you’ve done enough.
If the Huo Family really wanted to apologize, they shouldn’t come to me, but to… Wait a second!”
Ning Fan was about to advise Huo Zhanyuan to leave early, but his phone rang before he could finish speaking.
He pulled out his phone, stepped out of the guard room, and found a secluded place to answer the call.
It was from Ouyang Feifei.
“Chen Fengnan is in trouble.”
“What?”
Ning Fan’s eyes widened, surprised by the sudden receipt of such bad news.
At this very moment, Chen Fengnan and a group including Feng Yu Lei Dian were trapped in Rose Manor somewhere in England.
His influence in Europe couldn’t reach them, and now they could only hope for Ning Fan’s help.
After narrating Chen Fengnan’s ordeal to Ning Fan, Ouyang Feifei added, “It’s the people of Mingwang Pavilion.”
“The people of Mingwang Pavilion?” Ning Fan frowned, then sneered, “I see, I was wondering who it was, so it’s Mingwang Pavilion!”
With the Fang Guild defeated, Ning Fan had forgotten about Mingwang Pavilion.
He hadn’t expected them to make a move at this time, especially targeting Chen Fengnan.
