108: Chapter 108: Ning Fan is a Murderer 108: Chapter 108: Ning Fan is a Murderer The banquet continued, and the conflict between Li Ziwen and Ning Fan did not affect Queen Huo Qiuran’s birthday party.
To those present, it was nothing but an interlude.
However, people were abuzz with discussion, finding it somewhat unbelievable, and gathered together to chat about it.
One portly man said, “Li Ziwen’s backing is not ordinary at all.
Although Ning Fan escaped a disaster this time, his future is less certain.”
Another skinny and tall person nodded obsequiously to the portly man and said, “If he had some kind of status it might be another matter, but he’s just a nobody without any background or identity.
With Li Ziwen being such a bully, Ning Fan will definitely not get away with hitting him.”
While this group was chattering away, Ning Fan ignored the discussions and calmly drank his wine, occasionally teasing Xu Xiaoqing.
He really did not take Li Ziwen to heart, nor was there any need to.
Goodness, that was the lightest lesson for Li Ziwen.
If he comes looking for trouble again, I’ll just cripple him.
…
On the other side, Li Ziwen wailed in agony on the hospital bed, glaring at the people around him with fury on his ashen face, devoid of any human color.
Grinding his teeth, Li Ziwen thought of the little security guard and fumed; he couldn’t just let that kick go unpunished.
Even if Situ Nan and Huo Qiuran downplayed the incident, his injury was still there, how could he possibly let Ning Fan off the hook!
“Where is everyone?
Did you all die?” Li Ziwen growled at his subordinates with a fierce look on his face.
The subordinates promptly arrived before Li Ziwen, responding, “Boss Li, what are your orders?
We will follow them to the letter.”
Li Ziwen looked at his subordinates, thinking that he couldn’t settle this matter in front of Queen Huo Qiuran, but Ning Fan must pay a price tonight.
Li Ziwen said, “Lean in.”
He then relayed his plan to the subordinate, who, upon hearing it, immediately gave Li Ziwen a thumbs up.
“We’ll get right on it!”
With that, they left with a group of thugs, heading straight to Huo Qiuran’s mountaintop villa.
…
The birthday party was nearing its end, and there were significantly fewer guests.
Xu Ruolan and others were also preparing to take their leave from Huo Qiuran.
Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thankful that little miss Huo Qiuran wasn’t too clingy…
But at that moment, a police car suddenly sped in, its sirens drowning out the joy of the party.
Everyone was surprised; why would a police car come to the mountaintop villa at this time?
This didn’t make sense.
The birthday party of Queen Huo Qiuran was not an occasion even the police would disturb lightly, considering Huo Qiuran’s status.
But the police car had indeed arrived, and three burly men emerged from it.
These men were so muscular that their uniforms looked somewhat small.
They spotted Ning Fan immediately and approached him with an imposing air.
One of them, expressionless, asked coldly, “Are you Ning Fan?”
Ning Fan nodded.
After seeing Ning Fan nod, the three men spoke commandingly, “Mr.
Ning Fan, please come with us.”
Suddenly, the ice queen Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing showed puzzled expressions; why did they want to take Ning Fan away?
Xu Ruolan, with a cold expression, asked calmly, “What is the meaning of this?”
Three policemen looked at Xu Ruolan with a cold smirk and announced loudly to everyone present, “Mr.
Ning is implicated in a murder case in our city, and we are here to ask Mr.
Ning to come back with us for cooperation.”
After speaking, the leading policeman “shrieked” as he unfolded the arrest warrant in front of everyone.
A murderer?
Everyone present was shocked as they looked at Ning Fan, the man brought by the stunning CEO of Xu Corporation, was actually a fugitive murderer?!
“A murderer, huh?
How could CEO Xu be associated with a murderer?!”
“Incomprehensible…”
A wave of commotion arose, directly targeting the Xu Family and Ning Fan.
Though no one dared to speak loudly, there were whispers and finger-pointing.
Xu Ruolan’s cold gaze immediately swept across the three policemen as her icy eyes under her delicate brows stared at them, “Who is your leader?
What exactly is the murder case that Ning Fan is related to?”
The policemen trembled under Xu Ruolan’s cold eyes but managed to stay composed as they had been through ups and downs in the ‘Jianghu’, refusing to disclose, “No comment!”
Xu Ruolan’s voice turned icy as she demanded indifferently, “Where is your leader?
I want to contact him directly.”
Xu Xiaoqing also spoke up anxiously, “What has Ning Fan done wrong?
You can’t take him away without explaining!”
The three policemen ignored Xu Ruolan outright, sneered at Xu Ruolan and the others, then stepped forward and handcuffed Ning Fan.
Xu Ruolan coldly stated, “I’m sorry, but until you clarify the situation, you cannot leave!”
All those present could feel the chill emanating from the beautiful CEO; it was as if it were a deep-seated ice from Mount Tianshan, causing everyone to hold their breath.
Of course, Xu Ruolan could not let Ning Fan leave.
Setting aside whether Ning Fan was guilty, taking Ning Fan away directly in front of all the guests at the banquet was a direct insult to the Xu Family, and even more so, an insult to Xu Ruolan herself.
The three policemen looked at Xu Ruolan coldly, rebuking her for obstructing law enforcement.
Ning Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, “It’s just for an investigation, I’ll be back soon.”
Xu Ruolan’s cold eyes turned to Ning Fan, and seeing his indifferent attitude, she was indeed surprised – was he treating this as a joke?
The police had already presented an arrest warrant, and you still call this cooperation?
But since Ning Fan had said so, she herself couldn’t say anything further.
Xu Ruolan didn’t have much time to ponder, as Ning Fan was promptly escorted into the police car by the three policemen.
All those left behind were puzzled, including Xu Xiaoqing and Xu Ruolan, who were very confused.
Xu Xiaoqing anxiously said, “Sister, the idiot won’t be in any trouble, right?
Those damn cops were so full of themselves!”
Xu Ruolan remained silent, watching the departing police car and listening to the fading sound of police sirens.
Since Ning Fan said there was nothing to worry about, she, Xu Ruolan, could only settle down and wait.
Meanwhile, at the hilltop villa beside the one-way glass window, Huo Qiuran stood holding a glass of red wine, dressed like a proud queen, coldly watching as Ning Fan was taken away.
The chill emanating from her froze the surroundings, and even the red wine in her glass seemed like it would turn to ice, her eyes cold and indifferent.
Situ Nan, however, was hiding in the crowd with a sneer, thinking to himself, “Li Ziwen’s play is really well executed.”
He knew Li Ziwen well.
Once someone crossed him, he would not let things slide easily, definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Li Ziwen never used his brain when acting, nor did he care about consequences – the fate of those who ended up in his hands was often miserable.
Regardless of legality or whether lives were lost, as long as Li Ziwen wished, he could come up with many schemes.
The police arrest—naturally, it was a play directed by Li Ziwen.
Situ Nan looked at the still-worried stunning CEO Xu and drank the red wine in his hand with a cold laugh, “My beauty Ruolan, you will eventually be mine.”
