Chapter 926: Chapter 915: Nine Souls Jade, Do You Regret It?
Teng Yun Geshang wanted to have a private chat with Chen Fengnan—whether it was staged intentionally for Ning Fan to see was uncertain. However, in Ning Fan’s eyes, this move was sowhat superfluous; this guy was clearly full of himself.
Ning Fan didn’t dwell much on what this person was planning to do and simply turned around and left the scene.
In the days that followed, Chen Fengnan’s interactions with Teng Yun Geshang grew increasingly frequent. They seed to genuinely be becoming friends, leaving people unable to discern whether it was genuine or an act.
The business they collaborated on also appeared clean and well-organized, not looking fake in the slightest. Things quickly began to take motion.
However, by the end of the first week, Chen Fengnan had begun to intentionally distance himself from Ning Fan, as if Teng Yun Geshang had truly succeeded in pulling him over. This situation made those around Ning Fan a little tense.
“What exactly is this Chen Fengnan trying to do? Getting so close to Teng Yun Geshang—could he be planning sothing against you?”
Ouyang Feifei was worried that Chen Fengnan’s closeness with Teng Yun Geshang might bring danger to Ning Fan. After all, as one of Ning Fan’s trusted partners, Chen Fengnan indeed knew a lot about Ning Fan’s affairs.
But Ning Fan didn’t share Ouyang Feifei’s level of concern. He turned to her and said lightly, “Relax, it’s still under my control. Let’s see what Teng Yun Geshang plans to pull out of his bag of tricks. But tell , do you really distrust Chen Fengnan that much?”
“It’s not about him getting close to Teng Yun Geshang—what troubles is this unnecessary act of distancing himself from you. Don’t tell you haven’t noticed that…”
For Ouyang Feifei, how close Chen Fengnan seed with Teng Yun Geshang was irrelevant. What truly mattered was the act of pulling away from Ning Fan, sothing that scread of deeper issues.
However, Ning Fan just smiled without a word, offering no further explanation. He left her with one statent: “When the enemy advances, we will counter. Whatever Teng Yun Geshang is planning, we’ll find out soon. But, frankly, I don’t think this conceited man can win.”
From Ning Fan’s perspective, Teng Yun Geshang had already lost from the very start. His arrogance was simply too overwhelming; if he were to lose, it would undoubtedly be because of it.
While Ning Fan and Ouyang Feifei were dissecting Teng Yun Geshang’s and Chen Fengnan’s moves, things were heating up in their direction as well—Teng Yun Geshang and Chen Fengnan were talking about Ning Fan.
“Mr. Chen, you’ll find in ti that this decision is correct. But feel free to assess now—who’s stronger, or Ning Fan?”
Teng Yun Geshang gestured toward the Night Five behind him. This mysterious combat squad had once again been summoned from overseas to Huaxia, and their target was, once more, Ning Fan.
Chen Fengnan scrutinized the Night Five squad standing behind Teng Yun Geshang and involuntarily inhaled sharply. This level of raw power—besides Ning Fan, he had never seen anything like it. At this point, it seed Teng Yun Geshang truly had sothing to contend with Ning Fan.
Or perhaps, as a veteran organization, Umbrella was still a force to be reckoned with. Even in its weakest state, its foundation remained formidable, likely far more so than anyone guessed.
“What the outco will be… I’ll wait and see. Let’s hope you don’t disappoint …”
Chen Fengnan stared at Teng Yun Geshang, an odd light flickering in his eyes.
Teng Yun Geshang, seeing Chen Fengnan’s response, replied with a cryptic smile.
Night Five had already arrived in Zhonghai. The remaining preparations were underway—soon, all of Teng Yun Geshang’s pieces would be in place.
“Ning Fan, I intend to trap you in a net of no escape here in Zhonghai. Do you think you can get away?”
Teng Yun Geshang squinted as he gazed out at the city’s nightti skyline, a trace of icy killing intent emanating from his fra.
From the mont Ning Fan had outright rejected him, Teng Yun Geshang had resolved that Ning Fan could no longer be allowed to remain alive. To him, Ning Fan’s re existence posed a threat to Umbrella.
Teng Yun Geshang was determined to ensure that no one, including Ning Fan, would ever replace Umbrella in the future.
When it ca to budding figures like Ning Fan, if they could not be absorbed, there was only one remaining option: to eliminate them without hesitation.
And so, Teng Yun Geshang felt no regret over his choice.
At the sa ti, Fei Peilie t with Broken Blade upon the latter’s arrival in Zhonghai.
“Fei Peilie, why have we co to Zhonghai this ti? Is the decision final?”
As soon as Broken Blade saw Fei Peilie, he couldn’t help but interrogate him about Teng Yun Geshang’s plans. Having been summoned suddenly from Umbrella’s headquarters, Broken Blade sensed that sothing was amiss.
“More or less as you’ve guessed—Lord Teng Yun Geshang intends to make a move on Ning Fan this ti. What? Are you scared?”
Fei Peilie let out a bitter laugh. This outco should have been within everyone’s expectations, but his concern lay with Ning Fan’s strength. Should Teng Yun Geshang send them in first, it might very well amount to a suicide mission.
Broken Blade, hearing Fei Peilie’s confirmation, gritted his teeth in frustration, his irritability evident as he said, “Did I not say this from the start? Lord Teng Yun Geshang should never have handed that Nine Souls Jade to Ning Fan!
Back in New York, we witnessed with our own eyes the power that monster displayed. And now, with the Nine Souls Jade in his possession, do you really think we can handle Ning Fan?!”
Broken Blade had long anticipated they would have to deal with Ning Fan. From their encounter in New York, it had been clear to him that Ning Fan was not soone who could be subdued, making Teng Yun Geshang’s ambitions futile from the beginning.
“You think I wanted this? Back then, I wanted nothing more than to smash that Nine Souls Jade to pieces. But if I’d done that, Lord Teng Yun Geshang would have killed . His decision was final.
You know how he is—stubborn to a fault. And now, it’s too late to change anything. All we can do now is figure out how to deal with Ning Fan!”
Fei Peilie shook his head, a hint of regret lingering about his face as he lanted Teng Yun Geshang’s past decision. But the situation was what it was, and there was no turning back.
“So talking more won’t help, huh… Then what’s the plan? How are we supposed to deal with this monster Ning Fan? Or are we just being sent to die?”
Broken Blade’s tone was still angry, his agitation easily setting Fei Peilie off.
“What do you an by that? Are you doubting Lord Teng Yun Geshang’s judgnt?”
“What do I an? Isn’t it obvious? I’ve only gotten to enjoy a good life for so long, and now you’re sending to die? If you’re willing, then be my guest—but leave out of it!”
