739: Chapter 728: Capturing Xu Ruolan 739: Chapter 728: Capturing Xu Ruolan Ning Fan, still covered in cold sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief but was also overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.
For the time being, they had reverted to their previous relationship, but how long it would last, neither of them knew.
Meanwhile, in Zhonghai, two members of the Yunteng Family from Zang City were wandering around in disguise, gathering intelligence as commoners.
As night fell, the high-speed train from Jiangcheng arrived in Zhonghai, and Teng Nan and Teng Bei met up with Teng Zhong and the others who were already there.
“Something’s not right, something’s not right!”
The two men from Jiangcheng wore grave expressions upon hearing about Teng Feiyue’s situation from Teng Zhong.
Falling into the hands of Ning Fan was bad news for them.
“Have you informed the old master?” Teng Bei asked.
With such an incident occurring, they couldn’t keep it hidden, they absolutely had to tell Teng Zhuhai immediately.
Speaking of which, Teng Zhong’s face twisted into a bitter smile, darkened, and with an uncomfortable tone, he replied, “I’ve already told the old master.
He’s furious.
He ordered us to rescue the young master and young miss at all costs, or else, we’d have to bring back our heads to see him!”
“Damn it!”
With a loud bang, Teng Bei punched a nearby wall, his fist sinking in and creating a large crater, from which spiderweb-like cracks began to spread.
The cracked wall looked as if it would collapse at any moment, and standing on this unfinished building, the four were at a loss for any good strategies.
“Are we not completely on the defensive now?!”
Someone said unwillingly.
Originally, their situation wasn’t entirely defensive, but now, because Teng Feiyue was captured, they faced many restrictions.
They had to consider the safety of the two, and if Ning Fan threatened them with their lives during a confrontation, they would be completely out of options.
However, what they didn’t know was that Teng Feiyue wasn’t actually captured by Ning Fan at all.
The whole situation was a wonderful misunderstanding.
Teng Feiyue had changed hotels and was sound asleep, blissfully unaware of how flustered these four were.
“Can we ask for assistance from the Shangguan Family?” Teng Xi suddenly suggested.
The Shangguan Family, being their closest ally at the moment, could potentially improve their situation if they were willing to help.
Upon hearing this suggestion, the other three seriously considered it.
“Might as well give it a try, it’s better than doing nothing.”
Seeking help from the Shangguan Family was better than inaction, for inaction meant waiting for death.
Thus, someone began to reach out to the Shangguan Family, requesting their help in sending someone to Zhonghai to restrain Ning Fan.
The Shangguan Family in Jiangcheng immediately made preparations upon receiving this message.
The recovered Twin Evils were sent by Shangguan Tanglong, but they couldn’t arrive until the next morning at the earliest.
“Uncle, they’re in such a hurry, could it be that something’s gone wrong?” Shangguan Yunyang, standing beside Shangguan Tanglong, said somewhat schadenfreudely.
Due to Teng Huayang’s arrogance, he had no good feelings towards the Yunteng Family.
Now that they were so desperately seeking help from the Shangguan Family, it seemed clear that they were in trouble.
So, with a sense of schadenfreude, Shangguan Yunyang was also curious about what kind of difficulties the Yunteng Family members were facing in Zhonghai.
Shangguan Tanglong looked at his nephew with resignation: “Watch your words!”
Some things are best kept to oneself, never to be spoken aloud, Shangguan Yunyang was still too young.
However, thinking of the Twin Evils of Object-Manipulating and the current state of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Tanglong also harbored deep grudges against the Yunteng Family.
After being infested with Gu Insects, although their strength had recovered, those people could be said to have been completely disfigured.
From afar, they looked like ghosts, with wrinkled skin, just like that of the elderly.
After the infestation, the Twin Evils and others underwent significant changes, which in Shangguan Tanglong’s view was definitely not a good thing; it meant their lives were now in the hands of the Yunteng Family.
Turning their gaze back to Zhonghai, Teng Zhong and the others felt relieved upon receiving a response from the Shangguan Family but still could not completely relax.
“That’s right, I remember that Ning Fan has two women in Zhonghai!”
Teng Zhong suddenly recalled an important piece of intelligence, which was about Ning Fan’s women in Zhonghai.
The other three also showed a burst of sharp light in their eyes as they all turned to look at Teng Zhong.
“Xu Ruolan of Xu Corporation, and Huo Qiuran of the Huo Family, can’t we take advantage of these two women?” As Teng Zhong recited the names of the two women, a chillingly disturbing smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
The others nodded subconsciously, feeling that it was feasible.
Since Ning Fan could take Teng Feiyue and Teng Huayang as hostages, it didn’t mean they couldn’t do the same.
If they could capture one of the women, they could use her to exchange for someone at that time.
“It would be best to capture both of them!” Teng Zhong added.
Two hostages would be perfect for exchanging for Teng Huayang and Teng Feiyue.
As for Teng Dong, being a servant of the Yunteng Family, he could be sacrificed at any time.
It wasn’t just about Teng Dong; if it were any one of them, they would all be treated the same.
Teng Dong was no longer in their consideration.
From the first day, they might have already given up on him.
“However, this matter is difficult to handle!”
Teng Xi suddenly expressed his concern, looking somewhat hesitant.
Capturing someone is not as easy as it sounds, and Ning Fan surely has his defenses up.
Whether it is capturing Xu Ruolan or Huo Qiuran, it won’t be an easy task.
“Not necessarily.
Didn’t we check before coming here?
Ning Fan resides at Xu Ruolan’s home but not with Huo Qiuran.
Since Ning Fan is personally guarding Xu Ruolan, then surely Huo Qiuran’s defense is lacking.
We should go for Huo Qiuran!”
Teng Bei, however, had a different opinion.
He still deemed it feasible.
If Ning Fan was with Xu Ruolan, then he couldn’t attend to Huo Qiuran; thus, they could start with Huo Qiuran as their initial target.
Although they couldn’t capture both women at once, just capturing one would be enough.
They would ensure the safety of one hostage first.
Having decided this, the four discussed briefly and decided to act without delay, planning to move that very night.
Under the cover of darkness, four experts at the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm gradually crept up to the outskirts of Huo Qiuran’s villa.
Arriving outside the villa, the four exchanged glances, then dispersed in different directions to attack the villa from multiple sides.
“Action!”
In the darkness, it was unclear who spoke, but four shadows flickered.
With a snap, a powerful spotlight shone on the wall of the villa.
