Chapter 1052: Chapter 1041: Nine Souls Jade
“Mr. Ning, you are…”
In the office, the sudden intrusion of Ning Fan startled Qiu Xiuxiu, and the teaware she was warming slipped from her slender fingers, shattering on the tiled floor.
“Just a minor injury, no need to be alard.”
Ning Fan took a deep breath and suppressed the black aura raging at the wound on his abdon that wanted to invade his body.
After placing Ouyang Feifei on the sofa and instructing Qiu Xiuxiu to take care of her, Ning Fan entered the lounge, sat cross-legged, and began circulating the Eight Zen Decree Technique, allowing the True Qi within him to flow.
“Evil Sect’s thods truly are unpleasant.”
Even though he possessed exceptionally strong healing abilities, Ning Fan was still severely injured this ti.
Duan Liuyun’s sword not only tore his flesh but also left a terrifying black poison on it.
If it weren’t for the abundant True Qi in Ning Fan’s body, far exceeding the ordinary Peak True Origin Realm and vaguely reaching the Aerial Mastery Realm, the exchange of injury for life at Wonton Plaza earlier would have led to mutual destruction.
After spending a substantial amount of True Qi, Ning Fan painstakingly cleansed the remaining poison from his abdominal wound.
As the venom transford into a wisp of black air, dissipated by Ning Fan’s palm, the wound on his abdon, which had been bleeding earlier, rapidly regenerated tender flesh visible to the naked eye.
The wound continued to shrink until finally, it completely healed, leaving not even a scar.
Touching the newly healed wound, Ning Fan stood up, concluding his practice, and opened the door to leave.
“Mr. Ning… are you alright?”
As soon as Ning Fan stepped out, a worried Ouyang Feifei and Qiu Xiuxiu surrounded him.
“How could you leave behind and face danger alone? Don’t forget, I am your bodyguard.”
Ouyang Feifei bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She had awakened during Ning Fan’s ditative recovery. Hearing from Qiu Xiuxiu that Ning Fan was injured tornted her more than if she were hurt herself.
She clearly rembered that mont before losing consciousness, when Ning Fan stood resolutely in front of her, protecting her.
“Even bodyguards need a break. Consider today a day off for you. You haven’t yet shown your new outfit. If you get injured protecting , I wouldn’t get to see your new look.”
Ning Fan’s lips curved into a faint smile, pointing to the shopping bag he hadn’t forgotten to bring upon leaving, he joked, “Shopping all afternoon, only for it to end up at the hospital without even being worn. I wouldn’t want to see that happen.”
“Naughty…”
Ouyang Feifei began to smile through her tears, and although they continued to flow down her smooth, jade-like cheeks, the self-reproach and guilt in her eyes began to dissipate.
Just as Ouyang Feifei was gazing tenderly at Ning Fan and Qiu Xiuxiu was lightly smiling beside them, soone knocked on the office door.
“Co in.”
Ning Fan raised an eyebrow and sat in the office chair.
From the sound of footsteps, he had already deduced that the person was a mber of the Shadow Team.
Sure enough, after hearing Ning Fan’s voice, the door opened, and a Shadow Team mber bowed and reported, “Mr. Ning, we’ve found out!”
“Speak.”
Ning Fan rubbed his temples while listening to the Shadow Team mber’s report.
“According to our investigation, this assassination attempt shares so similarities with the last one, but there are also differences.”
The Shadow Team mber spoke gravely, “The similarity lies in the fact that both seem to be connected to the Ning Family in Dragon City. In our investigation, the assassins had appeared at the suburban villa owned by the Ning Family, which is precisely the private manor of the family’s second young master, Ning Qingfeng.”
“Go on.”
Ning Fan wasn’t surprised by the fact that Ning Qingfeng was the mastermind behind the scenes. The report rely confird this, so he signaled for the Shadow Team mber to continue without any hint of surprise in his expression.
“The difference is… this ti, the Ning Family did not send their own internally trained Death Warriors but instead hired the infamous Blood Cross from the Martial Arts World at a high price, paying them a substantial sum to assassinate Mr. Ning.”
The Shadow Team mber reported honestly.
“Blood Cross…”
Ning Fan murmured the na and fell into contemplation.
“Mr. Ning… during our investigation, we discovered sothing new that may interest you.”
Seeing Ning Fan silent, the Shadow Team mber continued, “According to reports, Blood Cross seems to have acquired a treasure known as the Nine Souls Jade. It was for this reason that they sought substantial funds and influence, reaching out to Ning Qingfeng of the Ning Family and accepting the assassination contract against you.”
“What? Nine Souls Jade!”
Until now, Ning Fan had been calmly listening to the Shadow Team mber’s report, confirming his own suspicions. Suddenly, he stood up.
While the Shadow Team mbers might not understand the value of the Nine Souls Jade, Ning Fan certainly did.
The Nine Souls Jade was sothing he had long coveted.
If he could obtain it, his healing abilities would reach even greater heights.
At that point, he wouldn’t just be invincible in the True Origin Realm, and even if an Aerial Mastery Realm cultivator ca before him, Ning Fan would still be confident in holding his own!
“Imdiately investigate Blood Cross’s base in Dragon City, and focus on thoroughly investigating the Nine Souls Jade.”
After a brief mont of excitent, Ning Fan quickly cald down and ordered in a deep voice.
“And the Ning Family in Dragon City…”
The Shadow Team mber inquired in a low voice.
In his view, the Ning Family in Dragon City was the mastermind behind the assassination, and they should be dealt with first.
Although the Ning Family had great influence, the Shadow Team under Ning Fan’s command feared nothing.
“There’s no need to concern ourselves with the Ning Family. Ning Qingfeng is nothing more than a clown.”
Ning Fan waved dismissively and ordered, “Withdraw all the Shadow Team mbers monitoring the Ning Family in Dragon City and redeploy them to the investigation on Blood Cross.”
“Yes!”
The Shadow Team mbers received their orders and left.
After giving instructions, Ning Fan didn’t take a break. He imdiately dialed Ma Jianguo’s phone number.
“Mr. Ning, you called for ?”
Ma Jianguo’s sycophantic voice ca from the other end, and Ning Fan even felt as if Ma Jianguo was kneeling to take his call.
“Handle the incident at Wonton Plaza today discreetly. Also, investigate all companies in Dragon City that recently received foreign investnts and send the list to my office.”
“Yes!”
Ma Jianguo dared not question the purpose of Ning Fan’s orders. He understood well that as a subordinate, he shouldn’t ask about things his master didn’t wish to share.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Fan licked his slightly dry lips, feeling an uncontrollable thrill inside.
He knew this excitent was brought by the news of the Nine Souls Jade.
“In the face of power, everything else is illusory. Although I’m unclear why you targeted , I’m grateful you brought the Nine Souls Jade to .”
Recalling Ning Qingfeng’s sudden visit, Ning Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
