135: Chapter 135: Hand Over the Nine Souls Jade 135: Chapter 135: Hand Over the Nine Souls Jade In the underground parking garage, Ning Fan brought the disassembled bomb to Baby Hai’s presence.
Baby Hai looked at Ning Fan with cold eyes.
“Ning Fan, you thug, how dare you dismantle a bomb on your own?
I’m going to take you back for interrogation.”
“Look here, pretty cop, it was you who came without a bomb expert.
If we waited for you cops, wouldn’t we have been blown to bits?”
“You!
You still think you’re in the right?”
Baby Hai glared at Ning Fan furiously, yet she also couldn’t fault him.
If Ning Fan hadn’t disarmed the bomb and it had gone off, the whole Zhonghai City would have felt the shake.
“In any case, come back with us to make a statement; we need to understand the situation in detail…”
Baby Hai hadn’t finished speaking when Ning Fan’s phone rang.
“Take it.”
Ning Fan tossed the bomb to Baby Hai, his eyes instantly turning cold and indifferent as he walked away while answering the phone.
Baby Hai caught the bomb, and shouted fiercely at Ning Fan: “You shameless thug, I’m definitely taking you in today, where do you think you’re going?”
Just as she was about to pull Ning Fan back, a nearby police officer hastily stopped Baby Hai.
“Sister Hai, we can’t afford to mess with this guy; let’s just head back.”
This officer had witnessed Ning Fan’s influence on the day he met him; not only did the president of the Xu Corporation come to personally bail him out, but CEO Huo did as well.
How could they possibly provoke such a person?
“We can’t afford to mess with him?
Isn’t he just a hoodlum?
I don’t buy it.”
Baby Hai fumed as she glared towards Ning Fan.
The police officer didn’t care about all that and persuaded Baby Hai to leave, imploring:
“Sister Hai, please don’t make it hard for us.
If this goes on, even the chief’s position won’t be secure, not to mention there’s a bomb here that could go off at any moment…”
Baby Hai seemed to have completely forgotten that she was holding a bomb in her arms, dubbed the ‘Twin White Rabbits’, until the police officer reminded her.
“Forget it, forget it.
How come you all are so faint-hearted?
You’re not even as reliable as that stinking thug.”
Helplessly, Baby Hai led the group of police officers away from the scene, feeling extremely frustrated.
The officers wore bitter smiles on their faces; defusing a bomb really wasn’t something ordinary people could do—it required a mind that was alert at all times and exceptionally high qualifications.
“With such a person around, how can we compare?” The officers lamented.
…
It was another call from Rain Emperor.
“My dear Lord Asura, is it surprising enough for you, unexpected enough?
I forgot to tell you, the bomb just now was actually a fake, it wouldn’t have exploded no matter which wire you cut.”
Rain Emperor giggled creepily in a voice neither male nor female, sounding very eerie.
Ning Fan turned to look at the bomb in Baby Hai’s hands and spoke coldly, “Rain Emperor, don’t play tricks with me!”
“Lord Asura, I just wanted to test your reaction, and it seems I’ve really got something.
It looks like the beautiful CEO is very important to you.
Now we’ll have some fun,” said Rain Emperor, laughing smugly.
“If you have an issue, bring it to me; I don’t mind playing along,” Ning Fan said with a grim face.
“Oh no, how could I miss such fun?
The beauty CEO, what a gorgeous woman, right, Lord Asura?”
Rain Emperor spoke with a taunting smile, full of chilling malice.
“You’d better not set your sights on her, or you will definitely regret it,” Ning Fan warned coldly.
“Regret?
Because of you?”
No sooner had Rain Emperor’s feminine voice faded than it suddenly shifted into a gruff male voice bellowing, “When you killed my father back then, did you ever consider the consequences?”
Ning Fan was slightly stupefied.
Why did the Rain Emperor’s voice sound male at one moment and female at the next?
Was the Rain Emperor male or female?
After a moment of silence, the voice of the Rain Emperor became sharp again.
“If you want me to not target her, it’s fine, just send me the Nine Souls Jade you got.”
The Rain Emperor said darkly.
“The Nine Souls Jade isn’t in my hands, and even if it were, I wouldn’t give it to you.”
“Is that so?
Somehow I remember one night, someone killed Diakas, the vice pavilion master of the Mingwang Pavilion, and the Nine Souls Jade on his person vanished into thin air.”
The Rain Emperor continued to laugh, “In Zhonghai City, you are the only one left who could kill Diakas.
The Nine Souls Jade must be on you.
Do you still want to deny it?”
Ning Fan frowned, his voice cold, “Rain Emperor, you should ask Diakas about this issue yourself.”
The Rain Emperor giggled, the laughter eerie and soft.
“Asura, right now I am the one playing the game with you.
I make the rules, and you have to follow them.
Otherwise, I am not sure what terrible thing I might do.
Perhaps I’ll really blow up the Xu Corporation tower, or flatten the Xu Family villa.”
“You know these are not difficult tasks for me.
All you need to do is hand over the Nine Souls Jade to me obediently.
We will meet tomorrow night on the East City Coast of Zhonghai, don’t try to outsmart me.”
Ning Fan thought for a while and said coldly, “I can give you the Nine Souls Jade.”
The Rain Emperor suddenly sounded surprised, the tone thick with laughter.
“So, our Asura knows the times, indeed, that beautiful CEO is your apple of the eye.
Well, that’s settled then.”
“If you dare to bother her again, you know what the consequences will be!” Ning Fan threatened.
“Asura, that’s uncertain, you first hand over the Nine Souls Jade to me, then I’ll consider it.”
The Rain Emperor let out a chilling laugh over the phone, and soon after, the call was ended.
Ning Fan lit a cigarette and sat staring at the smoke rings in a daze.
The Rain Emperor was no simple character, acting swiftly and with a solid plan, and it seemed as if every move he made was watched by the opponent.
Now, without any concrete information about the adversary…
such a person was difficult to deal with.
Why has the Rain Emperor suddenly appeared in Zhonghai City?
Ning Fan had not received any information from the underground forces, so after thinking for a bit, he made a call to the old eagle of the Dragon Eagle Hall.
“Little Eagle, help me investigate someone.”
Ning Fan spoke bluntly.
The old eagle on the other end of the phone immediately became respectful upon receiving the call from Ning Fan, taking him seriously as Ning Fan spoke solemnly.
“Ninth Master, who is it?
Do you need me to take care of them for you?” the old eagle asked.
“Has anyone suspicious recently infiltrated Zhonghai?”
“Suspicious people?
Zhonghai City has been very calm recently, we haven’t noticed anyone particularly suspicious.”
“His name is Rain Emperor, help me check.”
Ning Fan felt that if the Rain Emperor had come to Zhonghai, the major powers in the city would not be unaware.
The old eagle made a face over the phone, speaking earnestly to Ning Fan, “Ninth Master, we haven’t heard of this person, nor are there any rumors about him in Jianghu.”
Ning Fan was startled, muttering to himself, “How mysterious is the Rain Emperor?”
“Ninth Master, if you want to investigate this person, I’ll immediately have my people search and get the other powers involved as well.
No matter how mysterious the Rain Emperor is, as long as he’s in Zhonghai City, we will be able to dig him out.”
Hearing Ning Fan’s words, the old eagle realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately reassured Ning Fan.
“Just keep an eye out for this person, but don’t be too deliberate about it, don’t stir up the grass and scare the snake,” Ning Fan said evenly.
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It seemed that the Rain Emperor was extremely powerful for even old eagle didn’t know of his existence.
