226: Chapter 226: The Mysterious Ming Dynasty White Tiger Bracelet 226: Chapter 226: The Mysterious Ming Dynasty White Tiger Bracelet “No harm done, this person is not to be trifled with, even you all working together couldn’t hold on to him, such is fate!”
Chen Fengnan sighed, for all this time, the confidence he had been filled with due to his Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning had been shattered by Ning Fan.
Even Chen Fengnan himself found this disparity difficult to accept.
“We’re sorry, it’s all our fault!”
Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning shouted in unison, hanging their heads in shame.
Ning Fan’s strength had exceeded everyone’s predictions, the four of them had been defeated individually, and even when they joined forces, they couldn’t capture the opponent.
At this moment, aside from feeling unwilling, these Four King Kongs felt nothing but shame towards Chen Fengnan.
Chen Fengnan’s expression fluctuated slightly as he looked at the four, shook his head, and said with complexity, “You’ve saved me more than once, there’s no need for this, let it be.
Compared to that elusive legend, life is more important, you didn’t lose unjustly to that person!”
Chen Fengnan gradually became more open-minded, Ning Fan had several chances to take his life, even taking him hostage out of the hotel, but he hadn’t done so.
At this moment, Chen Fengnan might still have regrets, but he was even more interested in Ning Fan, a person with such strength surely couldn’t have gone unnoticed, it’s just a pity that the latter didn’t leave any name behind.
“Alright, we still have many guests, making them wait outside like this, especially after such a scare, that’s not the way I, Chen Fengnan, treat guests, let’s go!”
Chen Fengnan carried himself with an indescribable aura, once again becoming the powerful figure who could shake a country’s economy with a single word.
In finance, Chen Fengnan had never tasted defeat, but today, he had learned the taste of failure!
…
“I can never do something like this again!”
In the room, Ning Fan looked at his still bright red hand with a pained expression.
Even now, he could still feel the burning pain on his palm.
His actions today were akin to gambling with his life!
Jumping from a hundred meters high, a slight mistake could have reduced him to a meat paste, dead beyond dead!
Luckily, Ning Fan quickly came up with a plan in his desperate situation and turned the tables from certain death to survival.
But the experience was far from pleasant.
The immense friction, had he not had gloves, his hands would have been left with nothing but shiny white bones.
The leather gloves were burned away, Ning Fan could still smell a burnt scent from his hands, a disgustingly visceral reminder, for it was his own flesh and blood!
“I underestimated Chen Fengnan, the Four King Kongs, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, truly extraordinary!”
Lying on the bed, Ning Fan whispered to himself, looking at the ceiling, reflecting on the day’s events.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, each with their unique skills, together formed an exceptionally powerful force.
This time, he had also sustained significant injuries and nearly met his end there.
However, fortunately, he had managed to snatch the Nine Souls Jade from Chen Fengnan’s hands and successfully escaped from the scene.
“Nine Souls Jade, for you, I really risked my life today!”
Ning Fan took out the piece of Nine Souls Jade.
Holding the Nine Souls Jade above his head and looking through the light, the entire crystal of the Nine Souls Jade shimmered with a gleaming radiance, its glass-like transparency seemed to contain a beautiful little world within, beckoning allure.
For it, Ning Fan almost fell into the clutches of Chen Fengnan’s Four King Kongs, especially the one with the double pupils, his hypnosis was indeed unforgettable for Ning Fan.
“Right, I almost forgot about this…”
Remembering this, Ning Fan thought of the Ming Dynasty White Tiger Bracelet.
Without it, he would not have been able to easily break free from the hypnotic state.
Today, having acquired the Nine Souls Jade, the bracelet played a significant role.
Ning Fan took out the mysterious bracelet, admiring the dragon and phoenix carvings and the exquisite patterns.
He had originally valued the bracelet simply as a lucky find.
However, he had not expected it to exhibit such an unanticipated effect today.
The sensation of coolness, Ning Fan still remembered it vividly.
It was the bracelet that allowed Ning Fan to quickly come to his senses while he was under hypnosis.
“White Tiger Bracelet of the Ming Dynasty, what secrets are you hiding?”
Fondling the bracelet, Ning Fan felt its smoothness and warmth—a comfort to hold and a calming presence upon his person.
He questioned the bracelet, but alas, it was an inanimate object that could not speak, nor would it answer the doubts in Ning Fan’s heart at that moment.
“Nine Souls Jade, White Tiger Bracelet of the Ming Dynasty, do you share a connection?”
In each hand, Ning Fan held the Nine Souls Jade and the bracelet, and this question arose in his mind.
Before, Ning Fan considered the bracelet merely as a valuable antique, but now, due to the day’s events, he couldn’t help but take it more seriously.
Even he wondered, could this mysterious bracelet’s power be comparable to that of the Nine Souls Jade?
Perhaps there was some connection?
Full of secrets in Ning Fan’s eyes, the bracelet currently offered no clues.
“Let it be, what’s meant to be will come.
There’s no use in forcing it!” Ning Fan muttered as he stretched his limbs.
He put away the two items and then lay down in bed and closed his eyes.
Enough had happened that day—using the Invisibility Technique twice, consecutive battles, and the troubles brought by that tomboy Baby Hai left Ning Fan extremely tired.
He truly didn’t want to dwell on anything else now; he just wanted to sleep well and rest.
Wouldn’t it be easier to think about these troublesome matters after a good night’s rest and feeling reinvigorated?
…
“This just in, yesterday, finance industry leader Mr.
Chen Fengnan’s hotel was attacked by a mysterious man…”
The morning news on Zhonghai TV was reporting on the incident that had happened the day before.
“A criminal broke into the hotel and injured many SWAT officers.
This is a very dangerous individual who is still at large.
If you have any information…”
Of course, some details had been concealed.
Chen Fengnan didn’t reveal news about the Nine Souls Jade, because, after all, the item was no longer in his possession.
Besides, if word got out, it could bring trouble.
However, with so many armed police, SWAT, and commandos mobilized, the incident caused a great commotion.
Those present at the scene were one thing, but those who were not there expressed dissatisfaction.
“What the heck, wasn’t it said that the guy even jumped from a building?
No pictures, no truth.
How come there’s not even a video from the scene now?!”
Sitting on the couch, Xu Xiaoqing pouted, dissatisfiedly watching the news on TV.
The young lady was dressed in a pink nightgown, delicate as a blooming flower, her snow-white feet swinging, as if expressing her displeasure.
Just coming downstairs, Ning Fan heard Xu Xiaoqing complaining.
He looked subconsciously in her direction, where the sound from the TV reached his ears just in time.
Wondering what Xu Xiaoqing was fussing about, upon hearing the TV report, Ning Fan immediately understood.
It was about yesterday’s incident!
