Chapter 1107: Chapter 1096: Ning Fan Returns Ho
“Beep beep beep!”
The phone call ended, and a busy tone ca through.
Tiger Brother, holding the phone, still looked bewildered, unsure of what had just happened.
“Tiger Brother, what’s going on? Who’s calling this late at night?”
At that mont, a coquettish voice sounded behind him, as a naked woman wrapped her arms around Tiger Brother’s muscular back and said coyly, “Co back to bed, whatever it is can wait until morning.”
“Damn it, if I wait until morning, I’ll be dead! Move, don’t get in my way while I dress!”
The image of Ning Fan being impervious to bullets flashed across his mind. Tiger Brother dared not delay, quickly climbing out of bed and pushing the woman aside to hastily put on his clothes.
“Call the n, get everyone the hell up! We’re eting at Wuchun Road intersection, bring the gear, let’s get to work!”
Tiger Brother dialed a subordinate’s number, shouted the order, and rushed out without bothering to fully dress, holding his shoes in his hand.
Similar scenes were playing out all over Dragon City.
It was truly a case of pulling one hair to move the entire body. As a leader of Dragon City’s underground organization, Tiger Brother’s single command sent tremors through almost the entire city.
And it all stemd from a single phone call from Ning Fan.
…
As the first light of dawn appeared, Ning Fan stretched lazily and got up from the bed in the lounge. Next to him, Qiu Xiuxiu woke up, disturbed by his movents, and opened her sleepy eyes.
“Hmm… what ti is it?”
Qiu Xiuxiu asked groggily.
“It’s still early, go back to sleep.”
Ning Fan gave her a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead and said with a smile.
“I can’t sleep anymore, Sister Feifei is about to arrive at the office. If she finds out I stayed here, I’ll be so embarrassed I won’t be able to face anyone.”
Qiu Xiuxiu’s face flushed, and she quickly got out of bed, sticking out her tongue.
“So what if she finds out?”
Ning Fan chuckled as he got dressed.
“That’s not okay. If you hadn’t stopped from leaving last night, I wouldn’t have stayed here with you, you rascal.”
Qiu Xiuxiu pouted, sowhat unhappy, glaring at Ning Fan. Rembering the outrageous antics of last night, her face reddened again.
Ning Fan smiled silently, said nothing, and after quickly freshening up, instructed Qiu Xiuxiu to stay at the company before leaving the Dragon City Branch Company.
As Ning Fan leisurely headed towards the old estate of the Ning Family in Dragon City, the entire city began to undergo a subtle transformation.
In the Zhao Corporation, Zhao Deshan sat in the general manager’s office, facing a group of senior managers with gloomy expressions.
“Look at the reports, look at the ss you made!”
Zhao Deshan slamd a hand across the face of the deputy general manager, Zhao Qingming, roaring angrily, “I warned you to be extra cautious when sending gifts to the Dragon City of Comrce! Now look at these pieces of evidence; the prosecutors will be here any minute. How am I supposed to explain this to them?”
Zhao Qingming received a heavy slap, his cheek swelling up, but he dared not complain. He explained softly, “Chairman, we never expected Ma Jianguo to voluntarily expose the bribery. Isn’t he driving himself into a corner?”
“There must be so high-powered figure influencing this behind the scenes. Otherwise, with Ma Jianguo’s love of power and greedy personality, he would never give in so easily.”
Another deputy spoke solemnly, “Chairman Zhao, could it be that our company has offended soone with significant influence recently and is now being targeted for retaliation?”
“Retaliation? A high-powered figure?”
These words gradually cald Zhao Deshan’s fury. He began to recall interactions from the past few days.
Monts later, Zhao Deshan was struck by a thought, murmuring to himself, “Could it be him?”
“Chairman, do you have a lead?”
Zhao Qingming quickly inquired in a low voice.
Compared to other company executives, he had the most contact with Ma Jianguo. His na was repeatedly ntioned and exposed in the bribery evidence. If this issue wasn’t handled properly, he would have no future in Dragon City’s business circle!
No one would want to hire a disgraced senior executive.
“What difference does it make to you if there’s a lead or not? Zhao Qingming, you can submit your resignation now. For your years of service, I won’t withhold your salary and bonus this year. Leave Dragon City.”
Zhao Deshan waved his hand impatiently.
Sacrificing pawns to save the king was sothing he had to do now. Although he suspected that Ning Fan was behind this, he was too preoccupied with his own problems to think about revenge against Ning Fan.
But before the pale-faced Zhao Qingming could plead, a more pressing situation arose!
“Chairman Zhao, we’ve got a problem. All of our company’s storefronts on Dragon City Comrcial Street have been smashed, and our employees who tried to negotiate were severely injured!”
“Chairman Zhao, Boss Ma of the entertainnt venues under our company called just now with demands that the protection fee this month be doubled. If we don’t pay imdiately, all business at the venues will be halted!”
Everyone who rushed into the general manager’s office wore a pale face and breathed heavily; it was clear that the situation had stunned them as well.
In Dragon City, where Zhao Corporation had long established itself and risen into the top ten companies, it now seed to be on the verge of collapse overnight.
“Ning Fan… do you really want to annihilate us?”
Zhao Deshan gritted his teeth, slamd his fist on the desk, and shouted angrily, “You’re forcing my hand!”
…
At the Ning Family in Dragon City, Butler Zhang had long been waiting at the entrance with his back bowed. He was quite surprised when his subordinates reported Ning Fan’s sudden return to the family.
But at least it was good news.
Once Ning Fan was inside the family, where could he go, even with wings?
Squinting against the rising sun, Butler Zhang put away his private thoughts and quickly went to greet him.
“Third Young Master, you’ve finally decided to co back. The master is in Quiet Thought Hall; let take you to see him.”
Butler Zhang spoke humbly in a low voice.
“Don’t call Third Young Master. I’m not a young master of the Ning Family.”
Ning Fan’s expression remained calm, showing no reaction to Butler Zhang’s change from arrogance to servility.
“Heh, isn’t this the bastard child born to the Ning family’s maid? Actually ca back, huh? Looks like Father’s right—you’re here because you see how powerful our family has beco, aren’t you? Just thinking about it makes sick.”
As Ning Fan was about to enter the old gates of the Ning estate, a bell-like laugh suddenly rang out beside him.
Yet the words coming from this pleasant voice were incredibly venomous.
Ning Xinlan crossed her arms, looking at Ning Fan with disdain, and sneered, “Who are you trying to fool?”
