379: Chapter 378: Miss Xu, Ninth Master will surely pity you 379: Chapter 378: Miss Xu, Ninth Master will surely pity you Fan Zhongliang’s death stirred a thousand waves.
The news was hard to conceal, and Ning Fan didn’t try to, though whether he intended to shock and warn others is unknown.
The ti was late at night.
Xu Ruolan was alone in her apartnt, planning to shower and rest after finishing work on company docunts.
The pitch-black night was so dark one couldn’t see their own hand before their face.
Shadows flitted through the darkness, their footsteps so light that, in the still of the night, they attracted little attention.
A group of people in black, wrapped up tightly, approached Xu Ruolan’s villa under the leadership of a middle-aged man.
The n in black were tall and muscular, not of typical Asian build, and each exuded a chilling aura.
The many figures in black reached the villa’s periter and then blended into the darkness, their breathing barely audible.
The man at the front raised his head, his gaze dark and sinister as it fixed upon the villa.
“Boss, I wonder how important this woman is to you?” Long Tianze sneered inwardly, replaying the scene of Long Zhixin’s grueso death over and over in his mind, his face gradually twisting into a ferocious expression.
Tonight, Ning Fan wasn’t in the villa because of an invitation from Fan Zhongliang, and it was Long Tianze who had set the trap for Ning Fan that evening.
With Ning Fan absent, Long Tianze seized this perfect opportunity to target Xu Ruolan.
He had brought many skilled practitioners from Fang Guild with him.
They had traveled in secret from Su City to Zhonghai City and finally arrived here, all unbeknownst to Ning Fan.
Long Tianze harbored many plans he thought ideal for dealing with Ning Fan, but ticulously crafting each step was taking too long; he couldn’t wait any longer.
“Make your move.”
In the darkness, Long Tianze murmured.
Whoosh!
Shadows hurtled toward the glass of a balcony on the first floor.
Then, with a crash, the sound of shattering glass tore through the night’s silence.
Xu Ruolan, who had been about to go upstairs to change, widened her eyes and stared intently down the stairs.
“Who are you?”
The living room lights were still on.
The two uninvited guests stood there as Xu Ruolan called out coldly.
The two n in black didn’t respond to Xu Ruolan, instead, they looked around to ensure no one else was inside the house, then made a hand gesture to those outside.
“Miss Xu, I am Long Tianze, Sect Leader of Dragon Gate Martial Arts School from Su City.
We have t before!”
Long Tianze leapt in, bypassing the two n and coming to the bottom of the staircase.
“Dragon Gate Martial Arts School?
It’s you!” Xu Ruolan’s brows furrowed slightly as she t Long Tianze’s malicious eyes.
She recognized Long Tianze imdiately!
He had once deceived Xu Ruolan by claiming to be Captain Wang Gang’s cousin.
Faced with these unexpected visitors, Xu Ruolan remained calm rather than panicking.
Long Tianze was not surprised; he had researched Xu Ruolan beforehand and knew that this beautiful CEO was no ordinary woman.
Xu Ruolan also had so recollection of Dragon Gate and guessed their arrival might have sothing to do with Ning Fan, but she maintained her composure on the surface.
“Miss Xu, since we’re old acquaintances, I hope you will co with ,” Long Tianze said.
The villa was already heavily surrounded, and Long Tianze felt confident and unafraid.
Xu Ruolan pursed her lips slightly, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at these people.
Taking a deep breath, she said sarcastically, “Is this rude manner the way you invite soone?”
Long Tianze raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “Miss Xu, it’s nice that you have the idea of buying ti, but unfortunately, Jiuye is currently tied up with other matters.
I advise you to obediently co with us.
We will temporarily keep you safe on behalf of Jiuye.”
It’s Jiuye again?
Xu Ruolan’s expression shifted slightly, and at this mont, she had fully confird that the opponent’s purpose was to target Ning Fan.
And the reason they targeted her must be to use her to threaten Ning Fan.
Xu Ruolan maintained her usual cold and gorgeous facade as Long Tianze’s tone beca undisguisedly threatening.
“I think you are mistaken, do you really think he would surrender himself just for a woman?” Xu Ruolan took a small step back, her movent was minor, but it did not escape Long Tianze’s eyes.
After noticing her reaction, Long Tianze shook his head and sneered, “That depends on what Miss Xu ans to Jiuye.
However, I suppose Jiuye is the type who would feel compassion for the fairer sex, after all, even heroes have a weakness for beauty!”
No sooner had Long Tianze’s words fallen than Xu Ruolan quickly turned around.
At the sa ti, she pulled out her phone from her pocket, rapidly typed out a ssage, and attempted to send it to Ning Fan.
However, it wasn’t just that Long Tianze was an expert himself; the people he had brought with him were all fierce from the Fang Guild.
Seeing that she was attempting to flee, it wasn’t necessary for Long Tianze to act personally as a man in black jumped to the second floor and intercepted Xu Ruolan.
“Miss Xu, you’re not being obedient.
If you get hurt, Jiuye will surely be heartbroken, right?”
Long Tianze coldly watched as Xu Ruolan’s hands were seized.
He slowly walked over and snatched the mobile phone from her hands.
He looked down at the phone screen and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
“You seem so concerned about this man.
In a little while, I’ll let you et him!”
Long Tianze’s fingers flew over the screen, altered Xu Ruolan’s text ssage, and then sent a greeting to Ning Fan in his own identity.
After sending the ssage, Long Tianze laughed, quite interested in what Ning Fan’s expression would be upon receiving it.
The expression on Jiuye’s face after getting this text must be quite sothing to behold.
So thought Long Tianze, and then with a wave of his hand, he delivered a slap to Xu Ruolan’s pale neck.
The slap didn’t injure Xu Ruolan but rely caused her to pass out.
“Let’s go, we should get ready for our guest.” said Long Tianze with a wave of his hand, then left the place with Xu Ruolan in tow.
The night returned to silence, the entire villa shrouded in darkness, with only the shattered glass on the ground as evidence of the prior unrest.
As Long Tianze was leaving Su City with Xu Ruolan, Ning Fan was still outside in the cold wind.
Standing under a street light, Ning Fan looked at his phone screen, his countenance as dark as the waters below.
He had received a text ssage from Xu Ruolan’s phone, but the person who sent the greeting was not Xu Ruolan herself, but the man who signed off as Long Tianze.
“Jiuye, Miss Xu has been invited to visit Dragon Gate in Su City.
Don’t miss her too much—Long Tianze!”
Ning Fan’s eyes were ice-cold, as though they could freeze everything they beheld.
Long Tianze had acted, and he had done so in a particularly sly manner, targeting Xu Ruolan and already succeeding.
“Long Tianze, this is you breaking the rules of the ga!”
