737: Chapter 726: I Just Bought a Satellite 737: Chapter 726: I Just Bought a Satellite Ouyang Feifei didn’t stand on ceremony and directly transferred 50 million US dollars from her account to purchase a batch of new-style weapons from Eastern Europe and North America, while also renting a satellite.
Consequently, things weren’t quiet at the Phantom Guild, as this account had always been managed by Ajiu.
Once there was a capital outflow, she was naturally the first to discover it.
At this moment within the Phantom Guild, the charming Ajiu had a cold expression on her face, but suddenly her expression returned to normal, dismissing the notion that the account had been hacked.
Instead, she speculated whether Ning Fan had used the money.
Although this sum had been used as a working capital account for some time, it was still Ning Fan’s personal account and the money in it belonged to Ning Fan.
The thought that Ning Fan must be short of money prompted Ajiu to immediately pick up the satellite phone to contact him.
“Asura, are you short of money?”
After connecting the call, Ajiu asked eagerly.
“Ah?”
Ning Fan, who had just returned home and answered the call, was momentarily taken aback by Ajiu’s seductive voice.
To Ning Fan, Ajiu’s tone sounded like a rich woman who wanted to keep him, which gave him a feeling of being flabbergasted.
“I’m not short of money at the moment,” Ning Fan replied offhand, thinking that Ouyang Feifei must have moved the funds from that account, and that was probably why Ajiu was calling to inquire at that moment.
“What have you been up to lately then?”
Ajiu narrowed her eyes and asked in a lingering tone, her hand rapidly tapping on the supercomputer, tracing the whereabouts of the money.
“Nothing much, I’ve been doing well in Zhonghai!”
Ning Fan laughed, unaware that Ajiu had already discovered some clues.
Seeing that Ning Fan was not willing to reveal anything, Ajiu, with a spoiled air, slightly resentfully said, “Do you consider me an outsider then?”
The sense of grievance in her voice was so clear that Ning Fan could hear it over the phone.
He raised an eyebrow and explained, “How could that be, Ajiu?
You’re thinking too much!”
“So what exactly are you planning to do?”
Ajiu still sounded somewhat dissatisfied, determined to get to the bottom of it.
“What else could I be doing?
Just loafing around and waiting to die!”
Ning Fan answered with a tone of helplessness.
At that response, Ajiu’s eyes suddenly widened, “Loafing around and waiting to die requires renting a satellite and buying so much stuff from Eastern Europe and North America?”
If loafing around and waiting to die required such preparations, then Ning Fan’s Realm would be extraordinarily high.
In Ajiu’s eyes, Ning Fan was up to something major.
To Ajiu, Ning Fan’s actions were a good sign; at least he wasn’t truly intending to fall into despair.
However, his evasiveness was somewhat heartbreaking for Ajiu, leaving her feeling slighted.
As for Ning Fan, he was somewhat bewildered.
Following Ajiu’s questioning, he finally realized that Ouyang Feifei had done so much with the money, and even rented a satellite.
Regarding what type of satellite it was, he didn’t need to guess—it was definitely a military satellite, not a civilian one.
Ajiu had already found out that within a mere two hours, the money had been used for many things, the most sensitive of which was the satellite rental.
All signs pointed to Ning Fan preparing for some major event, leaving Ajiu feeling resentful for being left in the dark.
“The person who is doing this for you, is it Ouyang Feifei from the Yun Ci Guild?”
After Ah Jiu’s sentence, Ning Fan felt like he was caught in the act of infidelity; he hadn’t expected Ah Jiu to have speculated this much.
Although she hadn’t found out about the Shadow Team yet, she had long since noticed Ouyang Feifei by Ning Fan’s side.
The two of them were always up to something mysterious, and they always acted so generously.
Thinking of Ouyang Feifei, now Ning Fan’s capable assistant, Ah Jiu felt a surging jealousy and asked coquettishly, “Asura, can’t I help you?”
In Ah Jiu’s opinion, compared to Ouyang Feifei, who hadn’t been by Ning Fan’s side for long, she, who had appeared by his side much earlier, was the more suitable candidate.
Ning Fan, who had already figured out Ah Jiu’s thoughts, sighed, “The Phantom Guild can’t do without you right now.”
If possible, Ning Fan would also like to have Ah Jiu help him strengthen the Shadow Team, but for now, Ah Jiu must stay with the Phantom Guild, where she was needed to oversee the big picture.
“By staying with the Phantom Guild, you’re already giving me the greatest help.
Don’t you understand?” Ning Fan said helplessly.
Ah Jiu bit her bright red lips; she understood this, but she was not content, not content that it wasn’t her by Ning Fan’s side.
That Ouyang Feifei made Ah Jiu somewhat envious and jealous; she wished she could switch places with her.
“I know…”
Ah Jiu spat out these three words reluctantly.
“Are you short on money now?
You can have full access to the Phantom Guild’s funds.
I can give you all the account information.”
Ah Jiu did not continue to question Ning Fan about his ventures but instead offered her help.
“I don’t need it for now.
If I do, I’ll come to you.
Besides, I have my own power in the country.
Let’s keep the Phantom Guild low-key for now.”
“I understand.”
Ah Jiu’s voice was complex, finally turning into a sigh.
After ending the call with Ah Jiu, Ning Fan helplessly shook his head.
He hadn’t realized that a bank account would bring Ah Jiu into the picture; recalling Ah Jiu’s jealous tone from before, Ning Fan just felt helpless.
It was like using the private savings that one lover had kept for him to support another lover, and then being discovered by the former.
Ning Fan’s feelings were just that complicated at the moment.
And after Ah Jiu had found out about this, one could imagine her feelings at the time.
Jealousy is a human’s nature, whether in men or women.
After pacifying Ah Jiu, Ning Fan thought more about the satellite Ouyang Feifei had rented.
As a former Gold Badge assassin of Yun Ci Guild, Ouyang Feifei’s connections were indeed formidable, as seen by her capability to rent a satellite.
Therefore, Ning Fan was even more assured of Ouyang Feifei’s abilities, and it had indeed been the right choice to hand over the Shadow Team to her.
However, he hoped to avoid incidents like Ah Jiu’s burst of jealousy as much as possible in the future.
…
“You stupid fool, why did you come back?”
Xu Xiaoqing’s voice came from upstairs, her tone somewhat panicked.
Ning Fan looked up and gazed at Xu Xiaoqing from afar, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had thought there was no one at home; he hadn’t expected Xu Xiaoqing hadn’t gone to school today.
Remembering what happened last night and seeing the little girl’s blushing face now, a sly glint flashed across Ning Fan’s eyes.
