214: Chapter 214: Four King Kongs 214: Chapter 214: Four King Kongs Ning Fan’s eyes were as still as ancient wells, with only a hint of indifference.
A mere glance was enough to send chills down someone’s spine.
The wind was strong, yet it seemed unable to affect Ning Fan in the slightest.
His gaze shifted, staring intently in a specific direction, only to see a luxurious motorcade appear.
A fleet of Rolls-Royces, unparalleled in luxury, slowly came to a stop at the beginning of the red carpet.
The central Rolls-Royce door opened automatically, and a foot stepped out, followed by a man who walked out under the undivided attention of the crowd and countless spotlights and flashing lights.
The man was tall and distinguished, with an indescribable aura, and his face, serene like the calm before a storm, bore a hint of an elegant smile.
His temples were graying, making it difficult to guess that he was in his fifties; he looked hardly in his thirties!
Chen Fengnan, Ning Fan’s gaze was sharp as a hawk’s, locking on to this man from afar.
This was the person he had come to seek today.
Chen Fengnan stepped out, followed from the Rolls-Royce by a bewitching and ruthless woman.
She was dressed in professional attire, with a suit and long pants, her hair tied back in a tidy ponytail, commanding respect wherever her gaze landed, daring no one to meet her eyes.
Following closely, Chen Fengnan’s three other bodyguards also stepped down from different cars, all formidable in appearance, with impassive expressions.
These were the Four King Kongs of Chen Fengnan!
Ning Fan took note of these four, and even from a distance, he could feel an extraordinary aura about them.
Chen Fengnan’s companions were indeed no ordinary people!
Surrounded by his inseparable four bodyguards, Chen Fengnan was enveloped in their presence.
From within and without, their vigilance covered the area, missing no sign of disturbance.
The aura of the Four King Kongs was well-contained; Chen Fengnan’s transcendental demeanor did not overshadow their presence.
A crowd marveled; this was today’s protagonist, Chen Fengnan!
“The Four King Kongs, and one of them is a woman, seems a bit tricky…
Chen Fengnan, true to the Chen Financial Conglomerate’s reputation, has a keen eye!”
Ning Fan murmured to himself, putting aside other characteristics of Chen Fengnan, his ability to discern people was remarkable—he had managed to gather such a group.
In this regard, Ning Fan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and express his admiration.
“Ah!” Ning Fan suddenly brightened, surprisingly watching Chen Fengnan walking on the red carpet, then he smiled, “Still possesses some skills…”
Chen Fengnan’s steps were steady, and although it was nothing extravagant, it was enough to suggest that the man had some martial arts training.
Perhaps not deeply, but definitely some fundamentals.
Just from his strides, Ning Fan could ascertain that Chen Fengnan had some martial arts training; while not extensive, it was certainly foundational.
Yet this alone was enough to show that this man did not entirely entrust his life to others!
Chen Fengnan, along with his Four King Kongs, walked on the red carpet, continuously waving to both sides, his companions vigilant of the crowd.
For them, there was no margin for error when it came to Chen Fengnan’s safety.
“Hmm!”
Suddenly, the bewitching and ruthless woman among the Four King Kongs looked up, her gaze directed towards the top spire of the hotel’s highest floor.
However, there was no one there.
…
“Welcome, welcome, we welcome Mr.
Chen’s presence with the warmest applause!”
Accompanied by the host’s loud, resonant voice, the entire venue burst into applause.
“Mr.
Chen, welcome back to the country!”
The city’s mayor, dressed in a suit and shoes, hurried to Chen Fengnan, walking briskly and extending his hand in a warm greeting.
“Thank you, Mayor Ma, for hosting the ceremony, much appreciated.”
Chen Fengnan smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude with a cultured demeanor that earned quiet praise from many attendees.
“Not at all, not at all, this is what we should do.”
Mayor Ma’s face beamed with a radiant smile.
Chen Fengnan was a major figure, representing one of the eight great overseas super conglomerates, the Chen Financial Conglomerate.
His wealth was enough to rival nations, and this trip back to his homeland was for investing in domestic industries.
This naturally received strong support and welcome from the officials!
To show their regard for Chen Fengnan, Zhonghai’s mayor personally greeted him and escorted him into the hotel venue.
Note that it was an escort, not a walk side by side, which sufficiently highlighted Chen Fengnan’s importance.
Outside the venue, many people knew of Chen Fengnan’s identity; they were his financial fans.
Chen Fengnan’s formal entry instantly ignited the entire scene, with countless people cheering.
The invited reporters also entered through a special passage, followed by a press conference.
Backstage at the venue, Chen Fengnan was preparing, and his four bodyguards stood by, awaiting instructions.
Even though they were already in a highly secure environment, they still remained vigilant.
“Ayue, did you notice anything outside?”
Suddenly, the man standing next to the female bodyguard whispered, his voice only audible to the four of them, not disturbing Chen Fengnan.
The beautiful bodyguard known as Ayue flashed a look of uncertainty.
“Maybe I just felt wrong…” Ayue didn’t elaborate on what she had noticed while walking the red carpet outside the hotel.
But her simple statement was enough for the other three to understand something.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, these were their names.
The four of them had an incredible understanding between them and trusted each other implicitly, a glance or a few words were enough for them to grasp each other’s thoughts.
Although Ayue did not specify, the other three kept a wary mind.
Even if Ayue’s feeling while walking the red carpet outside the hotel was just a misconception, they had to take it seriously if anything seemed even slightly off.
Prevention is better than cure; even in the absence of an enemy, they would assume one to stay alert.
From the day they began as bodyguards for Chen Fengnan, it had always been so.
They did not convey this matter to Chen Fengnan, as not to affect him while Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning remained extra cautious.
The press conference would convene in half an hour.
Under the spotlight, Chen Fengnan made his entrance like a major star.
This was his stage, and the central spot had always been his.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning stood not far from Chen Fengnan, still expressionlessly scanning their surroundings.
At this point, the spotlight played a significant role, as it focused most attention on Chen Fengnan, while Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning went unnoticed.
“These four seem to never leave Chen Fengnan’s side…” In a corner of the venue, Ning Fan blended into the darkness, becoming one with his surroundings.
He only glanced briefly at Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, imprinting their figures in his mind, silently assessing their capabilities.
Chen Fengnan had found four very responsible individuals—it was like finding a treasure, but for Ning Fan, it was a bit problematic.
It was inevitable that he would have to deal with Chen Fengnan later, which would definitively involve confronting Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, the Four King Kongs.
But now was not the right time to make a move—too many eyes, numerous hidden bodyguards in the crowd, and the presence of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning around Chen Fengnan, all made it a bad opportunity.
