340: Chapter 339: The Dragon Emerges from Prison 340: Chapter 339: The Dragon Emerges from Prison Du Dewei sought out Ning Fan because his uncle’s life was once again threatened due to an old vendetta with He Fangtuo, who had recently been released from prison.
“I don’t quite understand.
He Fangtuo, by all accounts, should be a man with nothing left.
How could he still have the capability to seek revenge against your uncle?”
Ning Fan expressed his doubts.
Ten years in prison had rendered He Fangtuo a shadow of his former self, left with nothing.
Meanwhile, Du Sanjiang was his stark opposite, a prominent figure in the business world.
What capability did He Fangtuo have to seek revenge against him?
Unless—
“Could it be that He Fangtuo encountered some opportunity while in prison?”
Ning Fan speculated, and at that moment, Du Dewei gave him a thumbs up.
“God Doctor Ning’s guess is spot on.
He Fangtuo indeed found an opportunity in prison.
It’s said that he met a Jianghu master there and, after ten years of rigorous training, acquired formidable martial skills.
Now that he’s out of prison, he’s not only seeking revenge on my uncle, but has also vowed to exterminate all members of our Du Family!”
Having befriended a Jianghu master during his ten years behind bars, He Fangtuo followed his guidance and honed formidable martial skills through relentless practice.
Enduring humiliation and bearing burdens for ten years, He Fangtuo was released, focused solely on one thing: revenge against Du Sanjiang and the entire Du Family!
“Including my uncle, at first, none of us took He Fangtuo seriously, so we just sent a few people to deal with him.
However, he crippled everyone we sent!”
This incident made the Du Family take He Fangtuo seriously; afterward, they sent some of their hired bodyguards to teach He Fangtuo a lesson and dissuade him from troubling the Du Family.
“The rumors are true.
He Fangtuo really did meet a Jianghu master in prison, and the martial skills he cultivated over ten years are truly terrifying.
Our Du Family’s bodyguards, who are former special forces from the military, all ended up either severely injured or on their deathbeds at his hands!”
As he spoke, Du Dewei’s tone began to show fear, and his eyes became anxious.
He Fangtuo was no longer the man he was ten years ago; a decade of ardent practice had made him a master of the Martial World.
Faced with such an adversary, the entire Du Family was panicked.
“We later hired a few more masters, but He Fangtuo sent them all packing; some even disappeared without a trace, leaving no word behind!”
Since ordinary means were futile against He Fangtuo, the Du Family began seeking help from the people of Jianghu.
Du Sanjiang brought in several Jianghu masters in an attempt to resolve the problem of He Fangtuo, but they all ultimately failed.
This result thoroughly frightened them; He Fangtuo’s capabilities were even more formidable than they had imagined.
After recounting these events, Du Dewei’s complexion had visibly paled, and he poured another cup of wine for Ning Fan, politely saying, “God Doctor Ning, we really are at our wits’ end with this matter; we can only plead for your intervention!”
Now, whenever Du Dewei thought of He Fangtuo’s terrifying strength, fear started to creep into his heart.
If no one could handle He Fangtuo, not just his uncle, but the entire Du Family might not escape their fate, and Du Dewei certainly didn’t want to die!
Having understood the grievances involved, Ning Fan sighed deeply.
The enmity between the Du Family and He Fangtuo was even more complicated than Du Dewei had described, and even if he intervened, bloodshed was likely unavoidable.
This vendetta had already escalated to a typical Jianghu rivalry, and Ning Fan really didn’t want to get involved, but Du Dewei had already humbled himself so much, and Qian Nengde had personally sought his help as well.
After thinking it over, Ning Fan nodded his head.
“I will try to mediate this matter, but I can’t guarantee a successful resolution,” he said.
Ning Fan really hoped that the feud between He Fangtuo and the Du Family could be resolved.
After ten years in prison, everything had changed dramatically, and that turning point in prison had indeed proven the saying: “Heaven never seals off all the exits.”
However, if He Fangtuo used his learned skills for revenge, it would be a pity and would also show that his obsessions ran deep.
“No matter, as long as God Doctor Ning is willing to take action, just drive He Fangtuo back.
After that, he’ll have to think twice before messing with us again!”
Du Dewei’s expression was very excited, and he didn’t care about the part of Ning Fan’s words that followed.
He had never expected He Fangtuo to let go of the matter; he just hoped that Ning Fan could intimidate He Fangtuo so that if He Fangtuo wanted to seek revenge on the He Family in the future, he would reconsider.
After Ning Fan agreed to this matter, Du Dewei was very pleased, and Qian Nengde nodded in agreement.
“Thank you so much, God Doctor Ning, I’ll toast to you!”
Du Dewei’s face flushed with excitement again as he raised his glass and toasted Ning Fan again.
Ning Fan smiled, “Don’t thank me just yet; we still don’t know how this will end, and the person you should really be thanking is him!”
Seeing Ning Fan gesturing towards Qian Nengde, Qian Nengde himself was also stunned for a moment, while Du Dewei quickly slapped his forehead and hurriedly said to Qian Nengde, “Old Qian, I really owe you one this time!”
Ning Fan had agreed to intervene partly because Qian Nengde had taken initiative—after all, Du Dewei had only met Ning Fan once.
If it had not been for the favor Ning Fan owed to Qian Nengde and considering his good graces, it was uncertain whether Ning Fan would have agreed to this matter.
Qian Nengde smiled as well, admiration growing in his eyes as he looked at Ning Fan; composed and dignified, indeed he hadn’t misjudged him—Ning Fan was truly a person worth befriending.
The banquet to welcome and cleanse Ning Fan of his past troubles went on until the sun was about to set in the afternoon.
“God Doctor Ning, will you come back with me tonight?” Du Dewei asked with a smile.
Ning Fan nodded.
Visiting the Du Family’s house sounded good, as he was in no hurry to go back.
At that moment, Qian Nengde said, “Then I’ll take my leave first.
I’ll leave God Doctor Ning in your care.
I’m leaving now, God Doctor Ning!”
Since Qian Nengde was an insider, he preferred not to involve himself further and decided not to accompany Du Dewei and Ning Fan.
After saying goodbye to the two, Qian Nengde left the hotel first.
“God Doctor Ning, let’s go as well.
Your car is being watched, so take mine!”
Ning Fan nodded and accepted Du Dewei’s kind offer without refusal.
The two men walked out of the hotel side by side.
The sky was no longer bright—the sky was a fiery red, and the time had come to dusk.
As they rode in Du Dewei’s stretched Lincoln and arrived at the Du Family estate, the sky had completely darkened.
“God Doctor Ning, we’ve arrived!”
Inside the estate, numerous black-clad bodyguards stood in serious readiness, and from the formation alone, Ning Fan could tell how tense the Du Family was about He Fangtuo.
“Let’s go inside, my uncle is in there.”
