912: Chapter 901: He Resigned!
Three days later, Teng Yun Geshang arrived in Zhonghai as scheduled.
He hadn’t canceled his suite at the Zhonghai Hotel, and Fei Peilie had transford it to match his preferred style.
This ti, Teng Yun Geshang ca to Zhonghai without making a grand announcent, unlike his previous high-profile arrival where all the city’s elites gathered around him.
Such a scene didn’t occur this ti.
Even though Teng Yun Geshang secretly ca to Zhonghai, it wasn’t as though his presence escaped everyone’s attention.
His movents were still being observed by many who were keenly aware.
“Lord Teng Yun Geshang, you’ve finally arrived!”
Fei Peilie regarded Teng Yun Geshang respectfully as he escorted him back to the hotel.
“How are the arrangents?
Will Ning Fan co to et ?”
Upon arriving at the hotel, the first question Teng Yun Geshang asked was about Ning Fan.
He was deeply concerned whether Ning Fan would show up this ti.
This eting might be their final cordial encounter.
If things didn’t go well, they would inevitably beco enemies, and a conflict would erupt shortly after.
“Lord Teng Yun Geshang, Ning Fan certainly won’t break his promise.
Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you both to et without anyone disturbing you!”
Even though Fei Peilie’s status had transcended that of a re butler, he still adhered to his duties as one.
Despite being second only to Teng Yun Geshang, Fei Peilie continued to serve him steadfastly.
“Very good.
If Ning Fan truly cannot be persuaded, then take action.
I don’t want this threat lingering any longer!”
Teng Yun Geshang’s eyes glead with an icy light.
The killing intent in his gaze seed to perate the air, causing the room’s temperature to drop noticeably.
“And about last ti’s situation—let this serve as a reminder.
Do it cleanly.
I don’t want a repeat of last ti, where so mysterious figure showed up out of nowhere to hinder us!”
Previously, Konstantin had sent the Night Five squad to Zhonghai, but their plans were utterly disrupted by a mysterious figure.
While this unexpected turn of events had benefited Teng Yun Geshang—ensuring Konstantin’s downfall—it still served as a lesson.
That incident had left Umbrella with lasting implications.
To date, they had been unable to uncover the identity of the mysterious figure.
This ti, as Umbrella descended upon Zhonghai again, Teng Yun Geshang was determined to prevent another interference from so mysterious adversary.
Fei Peilie took Teng Yun Geshang’s words seriously.
The Night Five incident had left them with a deep scar.
Who knew if the sa mysterious figure might erge again during their current visit?
anwhile, Ning Fan was at his office, having already received word of Teng Yun Geshang’s arrival in Zhonghai.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the clouds on the horizon, his face turned solemn.
“Who’s there?”
Suddenly, Ning Fan shouted.
As he spoke, a hand clapped his shoulder, startling the person behind him.
“Damn it, why are you so jumpy?
It’s !”
Zhu Xuetao’s face appeared in Ning Fan’s vision.
He seed a bit startled by Ning Fan’s reaction.
Seeing that it was Zhu Xuetao, Ning Fan let out a breath of relief, though he couldn’t help but wonder why he’d been so sensitive.
With a hint of complaint, he muttered, “You walk like a ghost—no sound at all…”
Saying this, Ning Fan found it odd.
He really hadn’t sensed anyone behind him.
Was it because he’d been too absorbed in worrying about Teng Yun Geshang’s visit to Zhonghai?
Perhaps that was it.
Ning Fan decided not to dwell on it.
He then looked at Zhu Xuetao curiously, wondering what had brought him here.
“Well, it’s about your brother-in-law…”
“Wait, wait, what brother-in-law?
I don’t have one.
Don’t say such nonsense!”
Ning Fan’s eyes widened, hurriedly glancing around.
Luckily, no one else was around, or this rumor would’ve been disastrous.
The “brother-in-law” Zhu Xuetao referred to was, of course, Huo Zhanyuan.
That kid addressed Ning Fan as “brother-in-law” without regard for his warnings.
Over ti, he’d developed a face thicker than a wall.
“Alright, fine.
I’m talking about Huo Zhanyuan.
That kid quit his job.
Did you know about this?”
“Wait—he quit?
What’s going on?
Why did he suddenly resign?”
“Seems like his family summoned him back.
But he didn’t seem particularly willing to go.
In fact, I haven’t approved his resignation letter yet, so HR doesn’t know about it either…”
The Huo Family must be dealing with sothing.
Even Huo Yuanshan had decided to summon Huo Zhanyuan back.
When Zhu Xuetao saw Huo Zhanyuan submitting his resignation with such reluctance, he chose not to approve it.
Instead, he treated it as granting Huo Zhanyuan so overdue vacation leave, considering the kid still had unused days.
Ning Fan furrowed his brow, contemplating for a while but couldn’t pinpoint a reason for Huo Zhanyuan’s sudden return.
As for Huo Yuanshan’s motivations, Ning Fan had even less interest in speculating.
Still, without that troubleso boy around, Ning Fan felt much more at ease.
Yet oddly enough, he also felt a hint of emptiness now that his surroundings had gone quiet—it was sothing he couldn’t quite adapt to…
“By the way, I haven’t seen you these past few days.
Did you go to Stick Country for so costic surgery or what?”
Suddenly, Zhu Xuetao blurted out in curiosity, his eyes gleaming with mischievous intent.
Hearing this, Ning Fan imdiately rolled his eyes and retorted irritably, “Surgery in Stick Country?
Are you kidding ?
Look at this naturally handso face of mine—why would I need their help?
If they saw , they’d all get so insecure they’d kill themselves!”
“Fine, fine.
But honestly, you do seem different.
You actually look mostly the sa but have this new aura.
Brother, how did you manage that?
Teach a thing or two.
Co on, we’re close buddies.
Don’t keep the good stuff to yourself—share it with a friend!”
Zhu Xuetao threw an arm around Ning Fan’s shoulder with a sly grin, though he privately marveled at Ning Fan’s rapid transformation.
He couldn’t understand what Ning Fan had done.
During the Night Five incident, Ning Fan still needed Zhu Xuetao’s help.
Now, Ning Fan had already stepped into the True Origin Realm.
Zhu Xuetao could hardly believe his eyes.
“Impossible.
This isn’t sothing you can just pick up.
It’s innate.
Instead of chasing shortcuts, Minister Zhu, how about losing so weight first?”
“Damn it, what do you an?
Am I fat?
This is muscle!
Open my shirt and you’ll see eight abs!”
