198: Chapter 198: Emergency Call!
Zhu Xuetao had just taken up his position as the Security Minister, and before his seat could even warm up, he received such a request from Ning Fan, truly leaving him bemused.
If this request had come from anyone else, Zhu Xuetao might have treated the caller like a lunatic, but this person was Ning Fan, to whom he owed a great debt and whom he greatly respected.
“It’s okay, just do as I say, I’m doing this for her safety, she just may not understand for a moment,”
Ning Fan briefly explained before continuing with his instructions, “If you see where her car stops, where she goes, report to me immediately.”
“Yes!”
Zhu Xuetao responded.
Although his agreement was crisp, he truly felt his heart flip-flopping when it came down to action.
After much deliberation, Zhu Xuetao devised a perfect plan.
He would personally drive to track Xu Ruolan.
That way, he could perfectly carry out Ning Fan’s instructions without letting anyone know he was audaciously tracking the corporation’s president.
Having settled on this, Ning Fan whistled his way back home.
Though Xu Ruolan hadn’t taken him along, he was still going to return home.
Once home, he found only Xu Xiaoqing, the young girl, sitting in the living room with shopping bags laid out in front of her, packed with either food or clothes, as suggested by her gleaming eyes.
Ning Fan’s guess clearly wasn’t wrong.
Upon seeing Ning Fan return, Xu Xiaoqing excitedly called out as if she had seen a savior, “Ning Fan, stop right there, don’t go, come over and give me a little hand!”
Holding a long dress in her hands, Xu Xiaoqing winked at Ning Fan before ducking into her room.
After a while, she emerged in high heels,
smiled at Ning Fan, and giggled, “How about it, do I look good in this outfit?”
Ning Fan’s eyes lit up at the sight.
Although Xu Xiaoqing’s body hadn’t fully matured yet, the light blue dress with its exposed smooth jade-like back definitely made Ning Fan’s mind wander.
“What are you dawdling for, come and help me zip this up, or did you think I called you to space out?”
Obviously, this wasn’t Xu Xiaoqing’s first time trying on this type of dress, but seeing Ning Fan in a daze still delighted her, prompting her to speak with a hint of petulance.
As Ning Fan pulled the zipper, his gaze trailed over Xu Xiaoqing’s smooth back, and he got a bit distracted, struggling to get the zipper to slide up.
“Come on, hurry up, what are you thinking about?”
Xu Xiaoqing pouted slightly in dissatisfaction.
Urged by her, Ning Fan became anxious and involuntarily applied a bit of force to his wrist, and to his surprise, he broke the zipper!
“The quality of this dress really is poor,”
Ning Fan opened his hands, offering a helpless smile.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he broke the zipper, Xu Xiaoqing’s dress, following the law of inertia, slipped right off!
“I…”
Just as Ning Fan was about to catch up and explain, the phone suddenly rang.
“Bro Ning, there’s a situation!”
As soon as the call connected, Zhu Xuetao couldn’t wait to speak.
Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he leapt out the window and ran towards the garage…
……
“Beep!
Beep!”
The vehicle stopped, and Xu Ruolan arrived at the entrance of Situ Nan’s private estate.
Situ Nan had already been standing at the entrance to welcome her.
Dressed in a tuxedo, his face carried a warm smile, extending his hand to Xu Ruolan with perfect gentlemanly demeanor, he said with a smile, “Miss Xu, welcome.
I’m truly delighted you could come, please follow me.”
Xu Ruolan was slightly surprised and raised her eyebrows, saying, “Mr.
Situ, I hope you don’t mind what happened during the day.”
“Haha, it was a mere trifle.
If I, Situ Nan, couldn’t get over such a small hurdle, how would I have stood firm in Zhonghai City for so many years?”
Situ Nan laughed heartily, picked up two glasses of wine from a tray held by a female servant—one he handed to Xu Ruolan and the other he kept in his hand.
“Here’s to you, may we set aside our past grievances and work together with sincerity.”
Situ Nan then tipped his head back and drained the glass of wine in one gulp.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Ruolan would not casually drink with others, but now that Situ Nan had shown such sincerity, and most importantly,
he had that large batch of medicine, Xu Ruolan dared not offend Situ Nan lightly.
“Agreed, it’s a deal!”
Xu Ruolan’s lips curled into a small smile, and she symbolically took a sip, unlike Situ Nan who had emptied his glass.
Situ Nan raised his eyebrows, a triumphant glint flashing in his eyes, as he warmly invited Xu Ruolan to tour the estate with him.
“Mr.
Situ, I think we can talk about the medication deal now,” said Xu Ruolan.
Xu Ruolan felt her head growing dizzy and didn’t want to waste too much time looking at scenery; she got straight to the point about the medication deal.
However, Situ Nan’s reaction was unusually, his face changed, and he said blankly, “Medications?
What medications?”
Xu Ruolan frowned and said, “Mr.
Situ, joking around is not very funny.
We discussed it clearly over the phone, the medications you got from Dingli Group, after taking your cut, you were to sell them to me; didn’t we settle on that already?”
“Hahaha!”
Situ Nan laughed uproariously, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
Gazing at Xu Ruolan’s delicate and fair cheeks, he said with a suggestive tone, “President Xu, oh President Xu, are you pretending to be foolish or are you really foolish?
Would I just casually sell off treasures that have come into my hands?
However, seeing that you’ve come with such sincerity, I’m also willing to talk about cooperation.
But this time, our negotiation should take place on the bed.
What do you think?”
A predatory look flashed in Situ Nan’s eyes, and his hand began to wander, reaching towards Xu Ruolan’s cheek.
“No good, he’s deceiving me!”
Xu Ruolan immediately realized, but before she could take a step back, she felt her legs weaken and collapsed completely to the ground.
“Close all the doors; no one is allowed out!”
Situ Nan’s expression shifted as he violently smashed the wine bottle in his hand on the ground.
Crash!
Instantly, the bodyguards and subordinates who had been patrolling nearby snapped into a neat square formation, then dispersed, each taking up a position to prevent anyone from sneaking out.
“You drugged the wine…
you despicable, shameless villain…” Xu Ruolan said weakly.
