795: Chapter 784: The Trap Prepared by Ning Fan 795: Chapter 784: The Trap Prepared by Ning Fan “Received, where are you now?”
Upon reading this reply, a spark of life finally lit up in Tulip’s previously dead eyes.
It had been over two hours since she last contacted Thousand Faces, and only now had she received a reply.
Honestly, Tulip was exceedingly anxious; if Thousand Faces had not responded, she would have truly despaired.
Now that Thousand Faces had chosen to respond, it caught Tulip completely by surprise.
“It’s okay now, he has replied!”
Tulip looked across at Ouyang Feifei.
“He’s asking me where I am now.”
Where Tulip was now was not decided by her, but by Ouyang Feifei, or rather, Ning Fan.
Fallen into their hands, Tulip could only do as they requested if she was to have any chance of survival.
“You tell him this…”
Ouyang Feifei recited a well-prepared speech to Tulip, who then relayed it verbatim to Thousand Faces.
After this message was sent, there was a long pause from Thousand Faces’s side, with no response.
The waiting was excruciating, especially for Tulip.
For her, this process was indescribably painful.
Time trickled by second by second, each second agonizing for Tulip.
She was terrified that Thousand Faces might suddenly change his mind or spot something amiss and decide not to come.
If that happened, she would be the one to suffer.
As for Ning Fan and Ouyang Feifei, they were not worried at all; all they needed to do was patiently wait.
Meanwhile, in Thousand Faces’s hideout, he viewed Tulip’s response and fell into deep contemplation.
He was now considering whether or not to go, pondering the potential dangers, and evaluating the likelihood that Tulip had been captured.
Could this be a trap?
Many thoughts flew through Thousand Faces’s mind.
He was extraordinarily cautious because a single mistake could cost him dearly.
After much deliberation, Thousand Faces did something he felt was overdue; he directly contacted Tengyun Geshang.
“You needed me for something?”
Soon, Tengyun Geshang’s figure appeared on the screen, looking somewhat displeased, as if he had been disturbed.
Normally, Thousand Faces was not in a position to contact Tengyun Geshang personally, and had it not been for Tengyun Geshang’s interest in his Face-changing Technique, Thousand Faces wouldn’t even know how to reach him directly.
Seeing the displeasure on Tengyun Geshang’s face, Thousand Faces’s heart tightened.
He respectfully said, “I am terribly sorry, Lord Tengyun Geshang.
It’s not my intention to bother you deliberately, but there is an issue I believe needs your personal decision!”
About the matter of Tulip, Thousand Faces did not dare to make a decision on his own, which is why he risked contacting Tengyun Geshang.
Under normal circumstances, he would never do such a thing, as he had no desire to upset Tengyun Geshang and cause any displeasure.
Teng Yun Geshang listened to what Thousand Faces had said and his tone did not seem like he was faking, so he asked again, “What exactly is the matter?”
Noticing that Teng Yun Geshang’s expression had finally improved slightly, Thousand Faces breathed a sigh of relief.
If Teng Yun Geshang had refused to listen to his explanations and had directly cut off the communication, he would have truly been grief-stricken.
Fortunately, Teng Yun Geshang was still willing to listen to him explain a bit.
After thinking carefully for a moment and organizing his words, Thousand Faces said calmly, “It’s Tulip!”
“Tulip?”
Teng Yun Geshang’s expression changed, and he looked at Thousand Faces with some surprise.
He had not expected to hear the word “Tulip” from Thousand Faces’s mouth.
Thinking about how Tulip had disappeared after he had assigned her a mission, his expression turned ugly.
About Tulip’s disappearance, Teng Yun Geshang had considered many outcomes, the worst being that she had already died or been captured by Ning Fan.
At this moment, hearing Thousand Faces mention Tulip, Teng Yun Geshang was indeed curious; he now wanted to know what more he had to say.
“Here’s what happened, Lord Teng Yun Geshang…”
Afterward, Thousand Faces recounted the incident of Tulip, who had disappeared and suddenly contacted him today—he explained everything in detail without omitting anything.
After listening to Thousand Faces’s description, Teng Yun Geshang’s expression became somewhat conflicted.
If it followed his usual style of handling things, he would definitely have been angry.
Such matters still needed to be reported, which meant he would literally have no time to do anything else in a day, just dealing with these issues would be enough!
However, it was clear that Teng Yun Geshang also found this matter somewhat suspicious, especially since it also involved Ning Fan, so he began to ponder carefully now.
“I just think this could be a trap prepared by Ning Fan.
Has he already planned to make a move, to strike against us?
That’s why he would take such an excessive action.
I hope, Lord Teng Yun Geshang, that you can forgive me this time!”
After explaining, Thousand Faces did not forget to declare his loyalty; his overstepping was indeed out of consideration for the organization.
However, currently, Teng Yun Geshang did not have the time to think about these matters; his mind was filled with thoughts about Ning Fan.
If this was truly a trap set by Ning Fan, then it indeed was an unwelcome piece of news.
Ning Fan could not sit still, planning to retaliate.
Although Teng Yun Geshang did not believe Ning Fan could shake their Umbrella with his power alone, he was still somewhat wary of him.
“Since that’s the case, then you should go have a look.”
Teng Yun Geshang thought it over and ultimately gave such a lukewarm response, which left Thousand Faces with a bitter expression behind his mask.
As the boss, Teng Yun Geshang naturally did not need to take risks.
Speaking so indifferently, it was still those below him who had to take the risks.
Thousand Faces was now bitterly silent.
He really wanted to urge him to take this matter seriously and prepare well; perhaps they could even get a chance to bite back at Ning Fan.
But Teng Yun Geshang’s attitude choked all the words in Thousand Faces’s stomach; others simply did not give him the chance.
“If there’s nothing else, then let this be the end of it.”
“This, Lord Teng Yun Geshang…”
Before he could finish speaking, Teng Yun Geshang coldly cut off the communication.
To him, this matter was not important.
Letting Thousand Faces scout out the situation was sufficient,
sacrificing a Thousand Faces to confirm the situation was enough; whether or not there was an issue was of no importance to Teng Yun Geshang.
Moreover, most crucially, Teng Yun Geshang was thinking of meeting Ning Fan in person again this time.
As for Thousand Faces or even Tulip, he did not care about them in the slightest.
