757: Chapter 746: Teng Zhuhai Arrives 757: Chapter 746: Teng Zhuhai Arrives Teng Feiyue spoke at length, treating Ning Fan as a confidant, telling him everything that should and shouldn’t have been shared.
It wasn’t that she hoped to gain Ning Fan’s sympathy, she merely wanted to vent.
Furthermore, given her understanding of the Evil Gu, she wouldn’t have exposed any vulnerabilities.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, learned about some secrets of the Yunteng Family and Teng Feiyue’s emotional journey.
She was a girl who could maintain her own heart amid the complex dynamics of a vast family.
Perhaps, it was precisely her laughable stubbornness and naivety that made her unique in the entire Yunteng Family, the only one who hadn’t turned rotten!
Having heard all this, Ning Fan couldn’t help but lament that the Evil Gu corroded the human heart.
However, truth be told, these matters had nothing to do with him, and Teng Feiyue wasn’t so much complaining as she was venting.
“Since that’s the case, isn’t it all the more impossible?”
Ning Fan shook his head; he never believed that Teng Feiyue truly had any means to stop the Yunteng Family.
Actually, to be honest, Ning Fan was merely wasting time here.
After listening to Teng Feiyue’s lengthy discourse, the subsequent issues no longer concerned him.
If Teng Feiyue decided to return to Zang City, he wouldn’t make a move, but if she intended to stay in Zhonghai, then he couldn’t be blamed for what happened next.
Since he already had Teng Huayang, Ning Fan didn’t suggest capturing Teng Feiyue too.
With both the young master and young lady of the Yunteng Family in his hands, the Yunteng Family would have to think twice before acting.
“I still advise you to go back; this place isn’t suitable for you.”
Leaving these final words, Ning Fan turned and left the hotel.
Not long after Ning Fan’s departure, the figures of Teng Nan and Teng Bei appeared in the hotel lobby.
They quickly approached Teng Feiyue, both looking somewhat anxious.
When they had arrived, they had already noticed Ning Fan leaving the place, which had given them quite a fright, fearing that something had happened to Teng Feiyue.
Fortunately, upon entering, they found that Teng Feiyue was unharmed, still sitting there properly.
“Miss Feiyue, have you really decided to stay in Zhonghai?”
Teng Nan walked up to Teng Feiyue, frowning, while Teng Bei stayed alert nearby.
Since Teng Feiyue had previously used the Gu Insects, Teng Nan dared not forcibly lay hands on her.
If Teng Feiyue were to control the Gu Insects inside their bodies, they would be completely helpless.
At the moment, Teng Feiyue sat on an armchair, her chin propped up by one hand, her expression complex.
She seemed not to hear Teng Nan’s words, or perhaps hadn’t noticed their arrival, sitting there lost in thought, unaware of what she was contemplating.
Teng Nan didn’t dare disturb Teng Feiyue, and could only stand aside, waiting quietly.
It was perhaps about five minutes later that Teng Feiyue finally came back to herself and looked at Teng Nan, saying, “Let’s go back…”
Perhaps just as Ning Fan had said, her decision to come to Zhonghai was a mistake from the start; she shouldn’t have entertained the idea to begin with.
Although unwilling at heart, even if Ning Fan were still standing in front of her, Teng Feiyue couldn’t find a reason to argue.
Now, as Teng Nan heard from Teng Feiyue that she agreed to go back, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
If Teng Feiyue had continued to stay in Zhonghai, they couldn’t have returned to report their duty, and might even have been caught in Ning Fan’s net.
Meanwhile, Teng Nan was also curious about what Ning Fan was doing here just a while ago.
The fact that Ning Fan hadn’t laid a hand on Teng Feiyue puzzled him, as did her reaction.
What exactly had happened between the two?
However, these were not matters he could inquire into.
As long as Teng Feiyue was going back, it was okay.
Their continued stay in Zhonghai had too many risks, and they alone were probably not enough to handle Ning Fan.
They would need to call for reinforcements from the Yunteng Family.
“Let’s go.”
Since they had decided to return, Teng Feiyue had no intention of staying longer in Zhonghai.
The trio probably officially left Zhonghai in the evening, catching the fastest flight back to Zang City.
Ning Fan knew they had left and did not try to stop them, because it was pointless.
Now he had Huayang in his hands, along with three experts from the Object-Manipulating Realm as hostages.
Though he was unsure if the Yunteng Family cared about these three from Teng Zhong, they would definitely care about Huayang.
With Huayang severely injured and under his control, Ning Fan was not afraid of any plots or tricks from the Yunteng Family, unless they really no longer wanted their Young Master.
…
“Father!”
The sky was pitch black, as night had fallen.
Teng Zhuhai stood at the entrance of the Yunteng Family, facing Teng Feiyue and the two others.
Teng Zhuhai’s face was somber as he carefully observed his daughter Teng Feiyue and Teng Nan, and he immediately noticed something was amiss.
Suddenly, a powerful aura of unspoken anger emerged from him, causing the mood of Teng Feiyue and the others to become highly unsettled.
“Go down now.
You are confined to your room and forbidden from going anywhere else for three months,” Teng Zhuhai said with a displeased expression to Teng Feiyue, who didn’t even think about arguing and directly walked into the courtyard, then straight back to her bedroom.
This was not the time for her to act rashly.
Teng Zhuhai was probably no longer willing to indulge her capriciousness.
After Teng Feiyue had left, Teng Zhuhai finally asked Teng Nan and the others, “What is the situation?”
Teng Nan and Teng Bei, feeling a bitter taste in their mouths, knew that what was feared had come to pass.
They looked at each other and saw a wry smile in each other’s eyes.
“Master, we… we failed to rescue Young Master Huayang.
Instead, Teng Zhong and Teng Xi have also fallen into Ning Fan’s hands.
This trip to Zhonghai only brought back Miss Feiyue,” they reported with anxious hearts to Teng Zhuhai, as Teng Nan’s heart raced uneasily.
Teng Zhuhai said nothing, but his silence instilled great fear in the two kneeling before him.
As the Family Head was unpredictable in mood, no one could tell whether he was angry at the moment, and the situation clearly was not good news.
It was likely that Teng Zhuhai’s heart was already aflame with rage.
Especially since they now had no excuses.
The failure of their mission was a fact nobody could alter; even though they had successfully returned with Teng Feiyue, it could hardly be considered compensation for their failure.
“I won’t punish you this time,” Teng Zhuhai said, causing Teng Nan and Teng Bei to widen their eyes in disbelief.
They were somewhat reluctant to believe that Teng Zhuhai had decided not to punish them, but now was not the time to relax, for Teng Zhuhai’s next words left them perplexed.
“In a few days, accompany me to Zhonghai.”
After leaving those words behind, Teng Zhuhai turned and walked away.
