338: Chapter 337: Qian Nengde Seeks Help 338: Chapter 337: Qian Nengde Seeks Help “Sigh, I thought I could stay a few more days, but it looks like I have to leave again…”
In the small clinic, Ning Fan said to himself, sounding quite resigned.
Chen Fengnan actually finding this place was something Ning Fan truly hadn’t anticipated.
From the other party’s words and that attitude, Ning Fan confirmed an extremely important point, and the one he was most concerned about.
This man had already learned that the person who stole the Nine Souls Jade was him, Ning Fan.
But Chen Fengnan’s attitude surprised Ning Fan; the man didn’t pursue the matter, showing a spirit truly not of the common sort.
However, thanks to him, Ning Fan needed to leave this place as soon as possible; he didn’t want to involve the people of the small, isolated village because of Chen Fengnan.
Beep beep beep!
Just then, Ning Fan’s phone rang, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a call from Qian Nengde.
It was so late, and Qian Nengde was actually calling him, Ning Fan was surprised and also curious about what this person would want from him at this time.
As a big shot in the political arena, there were few in Zhonghai City who could go toe-to-toe with Qian Nengde, a man who wherever he went was flattered by others, and most people didn’t even have the chance to do so.
Many of those big shots in the eyes of ordinary people were those who wanted to curry favor with Qian Nengde; even to the point of exaggeration, many people would fight over such an opportunity.
“Ah, God Doctor Ning, I hope I’m not disturbing you so late!”
Yet such a person, who could shake Zhonghai City with a mere stomp of his foot, was using a respectful tone when Ning Fan answered the call.
Even on the phone, the fact that Qian Nengde was speaking so respectfully to a young man would definitely astonish countless people if word got out.
“It’s only nine o’clock, there’s no such thing as disturbing or not, I haven’t gone to bed yet.
Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for last time.”
Ning Fan accepted Qian Nengde’s attitude quite calmly, looking thoroughly entitled.
Ning Fan was very aware that Qian Nengde wanted to ingratiate himself with him, and having such an influential figure do so didn’t awe him, but having someone like that in his network wasn’t bad either.
Just like last time at Situ Manor, Situ Yuanhua, who was insolently unbridled, just turned into an obedient kitty cat after Qian Nengde showed up.
Ning Fan had always remembered this incident.
Even though he was confident he could have left with Xu Ruolan unscathed even without Qian Nengde, it would have been somewhat troublesome given the situation at the time; that’s why he informed Qian Nengde in advance.
This favor was something Ning Fan would not forget; it was a matter of principle.
“If I didn’t disturb you, God Doctor Ning, that’s good.
Do you have some time now?”
Qian Nengde asked again, sounding very polite.
He highly valued Ning Fan’s abilities, especially that title of being a disciple of Guiguzi.
“Of course, I’m free.
Just say it if you need something; as long as it’s within my power, I naturally won’t refuse.”
From Qian Nengde’s words, Ning Fan had already picked up some clues; Qian Nengde making a special call at this time clearly meant there was something on his mind.
Conveniently, Ning Fan still owed him a favor.
If Qian Nengde really had some difficult matter and felt troubled, Ning Fan could see if it was possible to take it on and thus repay the favor.
Relieved by Ning Fan’s response, Qian Nengde promptly replied with excitement, “God Doctor Ning is truly generous, a man of great benevolence and righteousness indeed!”
“Stop, stop, stop, just say what it is you want!” Ning Fan interrupted Qian Nengde’s flattery with a figurative dark cloud over his head.
This guy starts flattering as soon as things don’t go his way, making Ning Fan feel a whole body of goosebumps.
“Hahaha, I forgot that God Doctor Ning likes to keep a low profile, I understand, I understand!”
Qian Nengde replied awkwardly.
“Actually, it’s like this, one of my friends has encountered a little trouble, and this matter has really given me a headache!”
Qian Nengde’s friend in trouble?
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat surprised.
If even Qian Nengde found the matter troublesome, no wonder he called him.
“As you know, God Doctor Ning, if it were just some trivial matter, I could have resolved it easily.
But the trouble my friend is facing is indeed a bit complicated, which is why I thought of you!”
Qian Nengde sounded somewhat distressed.
For ordinary troubles, he could resolve them for a friend in just a sentence.
But the trouble his friend faced was so tough that even a person like him found it very challenging, which is why he thought of seeking Ning Fan’s help.
“God Doctor Ning, I don’t know if you could do me a favor and help my friend.
Of course, it’s also fine if you don’t have the time!”
Ning Fan remained silent.
He thought for a moment.
The matter must indeed be somewhat complicated; otherwise, with Qian Nengde’s status, he wouldn’t have come to him.
Of course, he had no intention of refusing.
After all, he still owed the man a favor, and he couldn’t find a single flaw in Qian Nengde’s attitude.
Listening to Qian Nengde’s tone, this friend must have a good relationship with him.
From this point, Ning Fan was also satisfied.
It’s about being willing to go through fire and water for a brother, not to stab them in the back.
“No problem, I promise to take care of it.”
Ning Fan agreed readily.
Hearing Ning Fan’s agreement, Qian Nengde’s face brightened with joy, and the man beside him cast an expectant look at that moment.
“I heard that God Doctor Ning is not in Zhonghai now.
When will you be back?”
Ning Fan was not currently in Zhonghai City, and Qian Nengde obviously knew this.
While he was “not in” Zhonghai, besides his friend’s troubles, the death of Situ Yuanhua could be another concern for Qian Nengde.
“Tomorrow will do, I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Shortly after Chen Fengnan left, Ning Fan had the idea of leaving the small isolated village.
The timing of Qian Nengde’s call couldn’t have been better.
“Then that’s settled.
I won’t disturb God Doctor Ning any further.
Let’s agree on a place to meet tomorrow.
I’ll send you the location via text message later.”
After chatting for a few more words, Qian Nengde ended the brief call with Ning Fan.
After putting away his phone, Qian Nengde turned to the man sitting beside him.
If Ning Fan were here, he might recognize the man; they had met before.
“Did he really agree?” The man looked at Qian Nengde expectantly, his eyes tinged with nervousness.
Qian Nengde watched his friend with a wry smile: “Don’t worry, with God Doctor Ning stepping in, we should be able to resolve the issue!”
“It would be great if that matter could be settled.
I hope God Doctor Ning can…”
“Right, don’t forget, he’s returning to Zhonghai City tomorrow.
You need to arrange the meeting place properly!”
“I know.”
