199: Chapter 199: The Dragon Has a Reverse Scale; Touch It and You Will Die!
“Haha, despicable and shameless?
This is all forced upon me by you!”
Situ Nan’s eyes were blood red, his face twisted with a sinister smile as he completely tore off his mask and pushed Xu Ruolan onto the table.
“Now tell me again, do you like me or not?”
Situ Nan asked with a gruesome smile, madness swirling in his eyes.
He was determined to have Xu Ruolan, and since a direct pursuit didn’t work, he’d resort to underhanded tactics, stopping at nothing!
What was most critical was that his patience had worn thin, previously rejected when he confessed his feelings, and even provoked by Ning Fan.
Moreover, he had suffered greatly at the hands of Ning Fan, how could he not seek revenge?
“Situ Nan, even if I die, I will never like a beast like you!
I…
hate you!”
Xu Ruolan’s eyes were cold, filled with hatred.
“Haha, hate me, hate me; hating me is still better than forgetting me.
I pursued you so earnestly in the past, but you brushed me off, spending time flirting with that damned security guard instead, watching as he trampled on my dignity time and again!”
Situ Nan stuck out his tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and said with a sinister smile, “But tonight, he’s a dead man!”
“What?
What are you going to do to Ning Fan?”
Xu Ruolan gritted her teeth, struggling to resist the dizziness in her head.
Hearing Situ Nan mention Ning Fan, she immediately became worried.
She agreed to the meeting tonight not because she was naive or couldn’t see through Situ Nan’s schemes, but because she didn’t want Ning Fan to become irreconcilably estranged from him.
No matter how capable Ning Fan was,
Situ Nan was incredibly cunning.
She came firstly to discuss a collaboration and secondly to try and resolve their grievances, to play the mediator if possible—all for Ning Fan’s sake.
Only, she didn’t expect Situ Nan to have completely lost his sanity!
“You should worry about yourself right now.
Are you ready to accept my love, Xu Ruolan!”
Situ Nan’s eyes were blood red, his low growl like that of a wild beast that just emerged from the mountains as he pounced fiercely towards Xu Ruolan, who he had pushed onto the table.
“I’ll kill you!”
Xu Ruolan struggled and managed to dodge, grabbing a knife and fork from the table and wielding it with the last bit of strength in her body, swinging wildly.
In the chaos, a large cut opened across Situ Nan’s cheek!
“Hiss!”
Situ Nan inhaled sharply, his eyes growing darker with venom, and he backhanded Xu Ruolan across the face.
“You bitch, too arrogant to appreciate kindness, huh?
Today I’ll show you what I’m capable of!”
Situ Nan roared hoarsely.
Regret flashed in Xu Ruolan’s eyes, regretting she had come here alone without telling Ning Fan.
She placed the knife and fork against her pure neck, and slowly began to press harder.
“Even if I, Xu Ruolan, die, I will not let you, a beast, succeed!”
The pain made Xu Ruolan close her eyes tightly, but the image of Ning Fan appeared in her mind.
It turned out she had always cared so much about him…
But now, she had no chance to express it to him.
“Ning Fan, see you in the next life!”
A determined look crossed Xu Ruolan’s eyes; even in death, she would not compromise with Situ Nan!
This was her character, her perseverance, her chastity!
She would rather die than submit!
The wrist sank down, and the knife and fork were about to pierce into the major artery in her neck.
Whoosh!
But at this critical moment, a cigarette butt suddenly flew obliquely through the air, still sparking with embers!
The cigarette butt hit the knife and fork in Xu Ruolan’s hand with unimaginable force, knocking it straight to the ground.
Clang!
Xu Ruolan opened her eyes in a daze, not knowing what had happened, but the last image in her mind was of a hysterical Situ Nan being hurled away.
Then a wave of drowsiness overwhelmed her as the drug took full effect.
Xu Ruolan passed out.
“Who, who’s hitting me?”
Situ Nan, holding his cheek, stood up, but looking around, he saw no one.
This made him feel a bit uneasy.
“Good thing I got here on time.”
Ning Fan emerged from invisibility, a serious expression on his face as he scooped up Xu Ruolan, checking her pulse and body temperature and understanding why she had fainted.
His eyes became instantly colder.
If it hadn’t been for Ning Fan sending Zhu Xuetao to follow Xu Ruolan, a tragedy might have already occurred!
With this thought, Ning Fan’s gaze became even colder!
The dragon has its reverse scales, and you will enrage it if you touch them!
And Xu Ruolan was Ning Fan’s reverse scales!
“How is it you, you’re actually still alive!”
Situ Nan looked at Ning Fan appearing in the manor as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, astonished.
He had, after all, ordered a top assassin to take Ning Fan’s life!
And even if Ning Fan had escaped from that assassin’s clutches, why would he miraculously appear here?
Could it be that the security surrounding the manor hadn’t noticed him at all?
“Good, very good, Situ Nan, you have successfully ignited my rage.
Tell me, how do you plan to die?”
Ning Fan placed Xu Ruolan gently in a chair beside him, and step by step, with a stern expression, he walked towards Situ Nan.
“Don’t come any closer…
I will kill you!”
Situ Nan was first scared, but he quickly realized that this was his territory, and even if he killed Ning Fan, just having his men dig a hole and bury him would suffice.
Could he possibly fight off so many of his subordinates alone?
“Come on, somebody come, kill him, a reward of one hundred thousand for each person!”
Situ Nan pointed at Ning Fan, shouting hoarsely.
The manor was not very large, and coupled with the fact that Situ Nan was in an open space, several bodyguards heard the commotion and charged towards Ning Fan.
If it had been in the past, Ning Fan might have shown mercy and just defeated them.
But now, Ning Fan was thoroughly enraged!
“Swoosh!”
A silver flash streaked by as Ning Fan casually threw a dinner knife, which accurately embedded itself in a bodyguard’s forehead!
Thud!
Blood spurted wildly.
The bodyguard had barely charged in when a knife stuck out of his forehead, his eyes blankly staring ahead, before he fell to the ground with a thump!
And Ning Fan, without even looking back, walked towards Situ Nan!
That bodyguard…
He probably couldn’t believe even in his death that Ning Fan would kill him in such a manner!
“Swoosh!
Swoosh!”
The sound of objects cutting through air continued to rise, and every time Ning Fan swung his hand, a bodyguard fell.
And it wasn’t just a fall; all of the bodyguards received fatal wounds, none of them had the strength to rise and fight again, even if they hadn’t lost their lives on the spot.
It wasn’t because they were too weak, but because Ning Fan was truly angered!
A cold smile hung on Ning Fan’s lips as he slowly walked towards Situ Nan.
But in Situ Nan’s eyes, Ning Fan seemed to have become the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe.
“You…
don’t come any closer, I was wrong, what happened today was my fault—I truly realize my mistake.”
His trusted lieutenants were tidied up cleanly by Ning Fan in just a few seconds, and Situ Nan quickly understood a fact—he was no match for Ning Fan!
Now, to survive, all he could do was beg for mercy.
“Plop!”
Situ Nan knelt on the ground and clung to Ning Fan’s legs, crying, “Ning Fan, Brother Ning, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong.
You tell me what compensation you want—it’s all fine,
I have money, lots and lots of money, and the medicine that Xu Ruolan needs, I will give it all to you for free!”
Ning Fan listened to Situ Nan’s please for mercy, but his gaze was resolutely undeterred, not swayed in the slightest.
In his eyes now was a thick killing intent.
He had tolerated Situ Nan several times before, but this time, it was way beyond his bottom line!
Situ Nan had actually laid hands on Xu Ruolan!
“Regretting it now, are you?
If only you had known, why did you do it in the first place!”
Bang!
As the words fell, Ning Fan delivered a ferocious kick to Situ Nan’s chest, and the explosive force immediately swept Situ Nan dozens of meters away!
With a loud crash!
Situ Nan’s body slammed hard against the solid wall, causing a deep crater behind him, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
“Splat…”
He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his eyes whiting out, his limbs twitching, and as the murderous Ning Fan drew closer, his face turned completely pale in terror.
“Come, someone…
Barefooted Di Sha!
Help me!”
Situ Nan’s face was covered in blood, his eyes wide with extreme fear, and he screamed loudly, so emotional that tears were almost falling.
He was thoroughly frightened!
In front of Ning Fan, who regarded human life as nothing, this was simply the manifestation of a terrifying demon!
