783: Chapter 772: Bring the Yunteng Family to Their Knees 783: Chapter 772: Bring the Yunteng Family to Their Knees “Are you saying that Teng Zhuhai didn’t die and was instead sent back to Zang City?”
Inside Huo Qiuran’s house, Ning Fan sat on the sofa, facing Huo Zhanyuan who sat opposite him.
Having returned from Jiangcheng, Ning Fan had been getting updates on Jiangcheng’s situation through Huo Zhanyuan.
Now that Huo Zhanyun told him that Teng Zhuhai hadn’t died but was taken back to Zang City, Ning Fan felt somewhat disappointed.
He really should have made sure to finish the job properly back then.
After three days, the internal injuries within Ning Fan’s body had mostly healed, and the venom in his blood had been completely expelled.
He now looked refreshed and invigorated.
Of course, if it weren’t for the news that Teng Zhuhai was still alive, Ning Fan would have been even happier.
At that time, although Ning Fan’s sword had pierced through Teng Zhuhai’s chest, it did not puncture his heart, the position was slightly off.
Even so, Teng Zhuhai was still critically injured and would need a long time to recover fully.
The threat from the Yunteng Family was temporarily not of Ning Fan’s concern.
The only thing he had to beware of was the Yunteng Family’s retaliation.
He had captured the Young Master of the Yunteng Family and severely injured the Family Head, Teng Zhuhai.
He was certain the grudge was firmly etched in their memories, and to say they were now in a fight to the death was no exaggeration.
But Ning Fan didn’t care about the Yunteng Family’s hatred for him.
He was still standing here well and alive, whereas Teng Zhuhai could only lie in bed.
Although he didn’t manage to kill him this time, next time, Ning Fan would not allow him to be so lucky.
“What about the Shangguan Family?
How are they doing now?”
Suddenly, Ning Fan asked with great interest about the Shangguan Family.
Now that the Yunteng Family had all returned to Zang City, he was curious to know how the Shangguan Family was feeling.
Were they panicking to death?
Hearing Ning Fan mention the Shangguan Family, Huo Zhanyuan’s expression turned peculiar.
He began, “The Shangguan Family is now too preoccupied with their own troubles.
My father says that several other families plan to take action against the Shangguan Family.”
The Shangguan Family had been the overlord of Jiangcheng for so long, naturally, there were those who envied their position.
Now with such a prime opportunity, of course, they wouldn’t let it go to waste.
“Is your Huo Family thinking the same?”
A single sentence made Huo Zhanyuan’s expression turn incredibly awkward.
Although he wasn’t in Jiangcheng, Huo Zhanyuan was quite clear on Huo Yuanshan’s intentions.
With such a perfect opportunity to advance the Huo Family further, and with the Shangguan Family as the prey, the Huo Family naturally would not miss this chance.
The Shangguan Family couldn’t be consumed by one alone; the Huo Family could certainly get a piece of the pie.
“You also know what my father is like…”
Huo Zhanyun appeared helpless, and even without finishing his sentence, Ning Fan knew how Huo Zhanyun would describe Huo Yuanshan—greedy Huo Yuanshan wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
“Humph, it looks like the Shangguan Family has reached the end of the line, your Huo Family has certainly picked up a great bargain!”
Ning Fan spoke disdainfully.
Indeed, the Huo Family had picked up a great bargain this time.
Given the current resources of the Huo Family, further development would have been challenging.
But now, suddenly having the Shangguan Family to ‘nourish’ them, the Huo Family’s involvement was merely the passing of some information to Ning Fan.
Moreover, because of this, the other families in Jiangcheng perceived a connection between Ning Fan and the Huo Family, which was why they were willing to let the Huo Family in on the action.
Otherwise, did the Huo Family think they could just butt in and take advantage?
Impossible!
In this matter, truth be told, it wasn’t that the other Jiangcheng families wanted to give face to the Huo Family, but to Ning Fan.
To them, the Huo Family wasn’t significant enough to warrant such attention, but it was different with Ning Fan.
After all, he could be considered the direct cause of the Shangguan Family’s eventual downfall, with the others merely joining in to deliver a few additional blows—their efforts were not comparable to Ning Fan’s.
“Heh heh heh…”
Huo Zhanyuan awkwardly touched his head and gave a forced laugh, looking extremely embarrassed.
He didn’t know what to say at that moment.
Indeed, it was Ning Fan they should thank; how could the Huo Family be so fortunate to pick up such an advantage?
However, Ning Fan didn’t care about how the Huo Family would act.
He was happy to see the decline of the Shangguan Family; no one would wish for their enemies to improve, and Ning Fan felt the same way.
The Shangguan Family now was like grasshoppers after autumn, but if Ning Fan had to deal with them personally, he obviously didn’t have so much spare time.
If others were willing to help at this time, he was happy to be at leisure.
As for the Shangguan Family’s resources, Ning Fan wasn’t interested.
There wasn’t a single thing from the Shangguan Family that could tempt him.
“You may leave,”
Ning Fan waved his hand, issuing Huo Zhanyuan an order to leave.
After being ordered to leave, although Huo Zhanyuan was reluctant, he had no choice but to obediently leave his sister Huo Qiuran’s home.
Only after the kid left, did Huo Qiuran come downstairs.
She asked Ning Fan, “Is the matter with the Yunteng Family settled?”
“Not really,” Ning Fan replied.
“Even though Teng Zhuhai has returned to Zang City severely injured, it doesn’t mean this matter is over.
The Yunteng Family is still a threat not to be ignored!”
To Ning Fan, the Yunteng Family was still a threat.
Even though Teng Zhuhai was now severely injured and back in Zang City, they had to be wary of their resurgence.
“But don’t worry, since I could defeat Teng Zhuhai once, I can do it a second time.
If worst comes to worst, I’ll just go and knock on their door myself!”
Ning Fan declared boldly, pulling Huo Qiuran’s soft body tightly into his embrace.
The two shared an intimate moment in the living room.
After some tenderness, Ning Fan left Huo Qiuran’s home.
…
In Zang City, the Yunteng Family, Teng Feiyue looked at Teng Zhuhai, who lay in bed recovering from severe injuries, with a sad expression in her eyes.
Now with Teng Zhuhai still in a coma, the entire Yunteng Family suddenly fell into a state of leaderless chaos.
At this moment, Teng Nan knelt on one knee in front of Teng Feiyue and respectfully requested, “Miss Feiyue, please come out to take charge!”
“How can I be able to handle this?”
Teng Feiyue showed hesitation; she didn’t think she was capable of maintaining the stability of the Yunteng Family at the moment.
But given the current situation, with Teng Zhuhai still in a coma and the Young Master Teng Huayang in Ning Fan’s hands, the only person that could take charge was Teng Feiyue.
Teng Nan knew what Teng Feiyue was worried about; was she afraid that she wouldn’t be able to command respect if she stepped up?
Teng Nan wasn’t worried about this.
He looked at Teng Feiyue firmly and said, “Miss Feiyue, there’s no need to worry.
You are the daughter of the head of our family.
If anyone disobeys, Teng Bei and I will stand up for you.
You don’t need to worry about anything else; just maintain the current stability of the Yunteng Family!”
The Yunteng Family urgently needed someone to stand up, and Teng Feiyue was the best choice.
The reason was simple: Teng Feiyue was the daughter of Teng Zhuhai.
