705: Chapter 694: Bootlicking Ning Fan 705: Chapter 694: Bootlicking Ning Fan Ning Fan, aware of the Evil Gu, was after all from a lineage where dicine and poison were linked, and being a descendant of Ghost Valley, he also had considerable knowledge of the Gu Raising Technique from Miao Jiang.
Thus, in Ning Fan’s view, the Yunteng Family, tainted with such sinister things, was absolutely malicious and not to be underestimated.
“I understand this matter now, you may go back.”
Although Ning Fan had started paying attention to the Yunteng Family, his expression remained unchanged, appearing sowhat indifferent.
Huo Zhanyuan grew anxious and asked, “Brother-in-law, what do you plan to do?
The Huo Family can help!”
The Huo Family was indeed scheming to entwine Ning Fan in their battles, and Ning Fan was well aware of this.
Hearing Huo Zhanyuan’s words, a cold smile imdiately appeared on his face as he replied, “Sure, you can go kill those people from the Yunteng Family!”
“Ah!”
Huo Zhanyuan was taken aback, and stood dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long ti.
How could the Huo Family contend with the Yunteng Family?
Compared to the Yuntengs, the Huo Family was just a blade of grass.
If they truly went and killed people from the Yunteng Family, wouldn’t that drastically offend them?
Opposing the Yunteng Family, the Huo Family was like a mayfly shaking a tree, purely seeking death!
So when Huo Zhanyuan heard such words from Ning Fan, his first reaction was to think that Ning Fan was pushing them into an impossible situation!
“Brother-in-law, our Huo Family can’t provoke the Yunteng Family.
Moreover, mbers of the Yunteng Family are now at the Shangguan Family, treated as honored guests.
My old father is the only one in the Object-Manipulating Realm in the Huo Family, let alone breaking into the Shangguan Family, how strong are those two from the Yunteng Family?
Just Shangguan Tanglong alone could squash our Huo Family like a bug.
Not everyone is a freak of nature like you!”
Huo Zhanyuan explained bitterly, and even flattered Ning Fan in the end.
The Huo Family couldn’t even deal with those two people from the Yunteng Family, let alone provoke the Shangguan Family.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so desperate to win over Ning Fan.
“I knew you wouldn’t dare!”
Ning Fan said as expected, if the Huo Family really dared to do so, then there wouldn’t have been a need for Huo Qiuran to intervene.
Ning Fan might have forgiven half of the past misdeeds of the Huo Family; at least, if they dared to act so boldly, their sincerity would be clear.
Besides, considering his relationship with Huo Qiuran, forgiving them halfway wasn’t out of the question.
Of course, Ning Fan would naturally not express such thoughts in front of Huo Zhanyuan.
Huo Zhanyuan hung his head and gave Ning Fan a wry smile.
“Just keep a close watch on those people from the Yunteng Family for .
If there are any updates, notify imdiately.”
Of course, Ning Fan didn’t mind using the Huo Family.
Being locals in Jiangcheng, if they could keep a close eye on the arrivals from the Yunteng Family, at least Ning Fan wouldn’t be placed in such a passive position.
He had to be wary of the Yunteng Family, who, after having the Shangguan Family severely weakened previously, surely wouldn’t sit idly by.
They were certain to seek vengeance on behalf of the Shangguan Family, who would also exaggerate the situation.
By then, Ning Fan doubted that the Yunteng Family could remain unmoved.
“Alright, alright, alright, once there’s any movent from the Yunteng Family, the Huo Family will notify you imdiately!”
Upon hearing that Ning Fan wanted the Huo Family to watch the Yunteng Family, Huo Zhanyuan eagerly agreed, his face filled with joy.
At least this was a good start.
Having the Huo Family help out was already the best outco, and Huo Zhanyuan dared not ask for more.
Ning Fan paid no heed to his excitent and turned away, leaving the place.
anwhile, Huo Zhanyuan excitedly called Huo Yuanshan in Jiangcheng, conveying Ning Fan’s ssage to him.
Ning Fan did not know just how thrilled Huo Yuanshan was upon learning of this matter, nor was he interested.
“Ning Fan, are you free tonight?”
As he walked out of the company’s smoking area, Ning Fan saw Lan Kexin approaching.
Lan Kexin was sowhat shy and also a bit nervous, unsure whether Ning Fan would accept her invitation.
Realizing that it had been a while since he had last interacted with Lan Kexin, and seeing this as a great opportunity, Ning Fan did not hesitate and imdiately accepted her invitation.
“Has your dad not been bothering you lately?”
After accepting Lan Kexin’s invitation, Ning Fan didn’t rush her away, but instead asked about Lan Haishan with concern.
Lan Kexin had an overbearing father; her biological father, Lan Haishan, could truly be called scum.
Last ti, after helping Lan Kexin deal with Lan Haishan’s gambling debts, he had warned Lan Haishan not to co near Lan Kexin again.
However, considering Lan Haishan’s shalessness, Ning Fan could not guarantee whether Lan Haishan had sought out Lan Kexin afterward.
Taking this opportunity, Ning Fan checked in on the situation.
“No, he hasn’t co to find .”
Lan Kexin avoided Ning Fan’s gaze, her tone lacking confidence.
In reality, Lan Haishan had still sought her out, but not to borrow money this ti; instead, he wanted her to snag Ning Fan as a wealthy son-in-law.
Lan Kexin could see right through what Lan Haishan was plotting.
On several occasions because of this matter, Lan Kexin had driven him away, and also because of the lesson that Ning Fan had taught him before, Lan Haishan didn’t dare say much and could only leave obediently.
Seeing Lan Kexin’s guilty deanor, Ning Fan understood that she was lying, but he did not pursue it too far.
After all, it was still Lan Kexin’s family matter.
He was indignant but also helplessly admiring of Lan Kexin’s kindness.
However, as long as Lan Kexin was okay, that was good.
Her complexion still looked quite healthy, and although Lan Haishan still occasionally found her, it was still an improvent from before.
“Today we are going to my mom’s house…”
Lan Kexin spoke softly.
If Ning Fan hadn’t had good hearing, he probably wouldn’t have realized how significant tonight’s eting was.
Ning Fan was stunned.
By the ti he gathered his thoughts, Lan Kexin had already fled.
Pondering over the last thing Lan Kexin had said before she left, Ning Fan smiled helplessly.
Was he being taken by Lan Kexin to et her parents?
It seed that was indeed the case, which explained why Lan Kexin was even more shy this ti than before.
Apparently, this ti, Lan Kexin intended to take him to her mother’s house.
After returning to the security departnt, Huo Zhanyuan no longer seed as downcast as when he had first arrived.
Perhaps it was because Ning Fan had asked the Huo Family for help or maybe because Huo Yuanshan had praised him over the phone, Huo Zhanyuan looked in quite a good mood.
“Brother-in-law, my dad has already said that from now on, the Huo Family will keep a close eye on people from the Shangguan Family and Yunteng Family.
If there is any news, I will inform you imdiately!”
Taking advantage of the mont when there were few people around, Huo Zhanyuan approached Ning Fan cautiously, almost as if he were seeking praise, and spoke to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan rolled his eyes at him and did not want to engage with him.
The young man was now eagerly trying to ingratiate himself, but Ning Fan still seed uninterested in dealing with him.
