263: Chapter 263: Kidnapping Xu Ruolan 263: Chapter 263: Kidnapping Xu Ruolan After leaving the doctors behind, Ning Fan was ultimately unable to keep up with Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing.
He didn’t understand why Xu Ruolan was angry again.
He had finally managed to revive Wang Gang, but ended up left behind alone.
With no benefits from the ordeal, Ning Fan had to take a taxi back by himself.
“No good deed goes unpunished!”
Ning Fan shook his head, helplessly looking up at the sky.
Upon returning, Xu Ruolan still ignored Ning Fan, who, not wanting to annoy her further, directly went back to his room.
Besides seeing Xu Ruolan’s cold face at mealtime, Ning Fan had no further contact with her that day.
“Could your sister be on her period these days?” Ning Fan quietly asked Xu Xiaoqing.
Xu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and, not wanting to speak with Ning Fan, turned and walked away.
“I was just asking.
If it’s really that time, I could prepare some medicine for your sister!”
Unexpectedly, this comment infuriated Xu Xiaoqing, who glared at Ning Fan and then stomped back to her room.
Ning Fan stood bewildered in the living room, murmuring, “Could the sisters be having their cycles coincide?”
The night passed without words, and Ning Fan went to sleep, only to awaken at the crack of dawn.
Early the next morning, Xu Ruolan got dressed, passed by Ning Fan’s room intending to wake him up.
However, remembering the incident with Xu Rongfei, Xu Ruolan’s mood soured again.
She glared at the door, dismissed the thought of waking Ning Fan, and drove to work alone.
“What exactly is going on between Auntie and Ning Fan?!”
Driving, Xu Ruolan thought about the situation between Ning Fan and Xu Rongfei.
That day, recalling the ambiguous scene between them at the underground parking lot exit, Xu Ruolan felt the sting again; the thought always made her uncomfortable.
Later, when Xu Rongfei visited, Xu Ruolan didn’t believe her good aunt came to visit them; it seemed more like she came for Ning Fan.
Especially afterwards in the living room, their repeated ambiguous gestures were not only seen by Xu Ruolan but also deeply etched in her heart, which now stirred with anger as she recalled them.
Thinking over it, Xu Ruolan couldn’t help but speculate whether this man had actually gotten together with her own aunt.
If Ning Fan had really gotten involved with her aunt, what was she then?
“Damn it, Ning Fan, how are you any different from other sleazy men!”
Xu Ruolan couldn’t help but curse aloud, but the next second, her face changed drastically as she abruptly stepped on the brakes.
Screech!
The ear-piercing sound of tires scraping the ground rang out as Xu Ruolan’s car was forced to a stop on the roadside by a black business car ahead.
The black business car directly blocked in front of Xu Ruolan’s car, the door opened, and several stern-looking bodyguards in black emerged and surrounded Xu Ruolan’s car.
“Who sent you?!”
Xu Ruolan coldly eyed the unfriendly-looking bodyguards surrounding her car.
One of the bodyguards knocked on the window and said indifferently, “Sorry, Miss Xu, we are from Situ Enterprise.
Our master would like to ask you a few details, and we hope Miss Xu will cooperate with us.”
“Situ Enterprise?
Which Situ Enterprise?” Xu Ruolan frowned, feigning ignorance.
But in her heart, Xu Ruolan had a bad premonition.
Could it be that they were here because of Situ Nan?
If that was indeed the case, it wasn’t just her own trouble she was facing.
Considering the purpose of these people, Xu Ruolan slowly took out her phone and, while observing them, discreetly sent Ning Fan her location via a message.
“Heh heh, Miss Xu must be aware of Situ Nan, right?
Not long ago, young master Situ was murdered, and his father, old Mr.
Situ, has returned to the country.
Please cooperate with us,”
a bodyguard muttered with a cold smirk, making a signal to his companion.
Xu Ruolan instinctively looked in that direction, her pretty face involuntarily coloring with anger.
She saw a person pull out a small hammer and, swinging it, directly shattered the passenger-side window.
Seeing this, Xu Ruolan clenched her teeth and realized that if she didn’t go with them today, they would not let things slide.
Thus, she directly opened the car door and stepped out, not allowing these people to forcibly drag her out.
“If only you had cooperated like this earlier, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble and even smash your car window!”
The bodyguard said, a mocking smile on his face.
In the end, Xu Ruolan got into the black business car, unaware of where she would be taken.
At the same time, Ning Fan had just gotten out of bed when he saw his phone buzzing.
Picking it up, he saw it was a message from Xu Ruolan.
Upon unlocking the screen, he found Xu Ruolan had sent him her location, which was still moving.
“Something wrong?” Ning Fan’s expression hardened, sensing a bad omen from the message that contained only a location.
About ten minutes later, on the other side, the black business car carrying Xu Ruolan drove up a hill to a private manor.
In the manor, a middle-aged man sat on a rosewood chair, an incense burner placed in the hall, with a bodyguard standing every five steps around him.
He waited with his eyes closed, calm and composed.
Finally, the bodyguards who had “invited” Xu Ruolan arrived in the grand hall with her in front of the middle-aged man, where a tea table and chairs had already been set up.
“Miss Xu, please take a seat,”
Situ Yuanhua opened his eyes, flashing a friendly smile.
However, the tattoo on his left face contorted ominously with his facial expressions.
Xu Ruolan slowly walked to the tea table and sat down, her demeanor as usual, maintaining her typical aloof attitude.
Faced with the seemingly cordial Situ Yuanhua, Xu Ruolan felt he was hiding malice behind his smile.
Situ Yuanhua pinched the dragon-head cane next to him and, picking up the teapot, filled the teacups in front of himself and Xu Ruolan.
As the tea poured, the fragrance filled the air.
“Ha ha, Miss Xu, I’m truly sorry to have brought you here in this manner.
Situ Yuanhua here offers his apologies,”
Situ Yuanhua said courteously, handling the teaware with a scholarly air.
However, the monstrous tattoo on his face created a dissonant contrast with his current demeanor.
Xu Ruolan scrutinized Situ Yuanhua’s face and, upon knowing his name, felt a ripple inside her.
Situ Yuanhua, Situ Nan — on closer look, Situ Yuanhua bore a resemblance to Situ Nan, as if they were carved from the same mold.
In her heart, Xu Ruolan immediately felt wary; this man, although appearing friendly, was indeed someone who hid daggers behind his smiles.
“I’ve long heard that the Xu family of Zhonghai had a phoenix girl.
Seeing you today, I find it to be true.
It reminds me of my unworthy son!”
Situ Yuanhua tasted the tea in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, a seemingly kind smile hanging on his face, making it hard to discern his true thoughts.
