Chapter 948: Chapter 937: Little Woman Huo Qiuran
Ning Fan didn’t give Eagle much ti, just about three days, but Ning Fan didn’t think this ti fra was particularly short.
Right now, Eagle’s influence in Zhonghai could be considered unrivaled, so if this matter took too long to resolve, it would be unreasonable.
Moreover, Ning Fan hadn’t restricted Eagle from seeking others’ help. For instance, Zi Hongyu could also lend a hand in this matter—after all, Six Fan Gate’s intelligence was much better than Dragon Eagle Hall’s.
As for the high-interest debt issue, Ning Fan had no intention of intervening directly; he rely wanted to teach certain people a lesson, not worth getting his own hands dirty for.
During this period, besides his cultivation, Ning Fan just occasionally showed his face in the company.
“Xiao Ba, did Huo Yunkuang hand over the stuff to you?”
In the security departnt, Ning Fan found Xiao Ba and inquired about the money.
Hearing this, Xiao Ba’s expression turned awkward, and he nodded in response, “He sent it over, not missing a single cent…”
Huo Yunkuang was quite efficient; no sooner had Xiao Ba returned ho last night than his people delivered the money right to his doorstep, even assuring him there would be no further harassnt.
Xiao Ba’s first reaction was gratitude toward Ning Fan. If it hadn’t been for Ning Fan, he wouldn’t have so easily escaped the clutches of this high-interest debt syndicate, let alone gained such a windfall…
That was 100,000 yuan! While it might be pocket change for Ning Fan, it was a lifesaving sum for Xiao Ba at the mont.
“It seems like Xiao Ba’s issue has been resolved. Thank you so much this ti!”
Zhu Xuetao walked over. He had overheard their conversation earlier and deduced that Xiao Ba’s matter must have been resolved by Ning Fan.
Speaking of which, he had wanted to handle it himself, but due to being unable to step away, he ultimately left it to Ning Fan.
“I told you before to keep an eye on Xiao Ba. Back then, I already felt sothing was off about him, but you didn’t believe !”
Ning Fan didn’t miss a chance to poke fun at Zhu Xuetao, speaking bluntly at this mont.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuetao’s face turned awkward.
Indeed, Ning Fan had once ntioned keeping an eye on Xiao Ba, saying sothing seed amiss. However, at the ti, Zhu Xuetao hadn’t taken it seriously. It wasn’t until Xiao Ba had been beaten up by debt collectors and ca to work afterward that the matter caught his full attention.
Honestly, as the boss, Zhu Xuetao felt a bit unfit for the role. His subordinate had been bullied, and he hadn’t stepped up personally, leaving Ning Fan to intervene instead…
Although Ning Fan was also one of his people, Zhu Xuetao couldn’t help feeling a bit resentful. He genuinely wanted to avenge Xiao Ba!
“Don’t bla Minister Zhu. It’s actually my fault. If I had been upfront about this from the beginning, it wouldn’t have been so troubleso. This is all on …”
Xiao Ba chid in to smooth things over.
Ning Fan sighed again, “Xiao Ba, you seriously need to change your personality. Stop blaming yourself for everything that happens—it’s not good for you!”
“It’s nothing.”
“…”
…
During the lunch break, Ning Fan left the company and headed to Huo Qiuran’s ho.
“Qiuran? Qiuran?!”
“Not ho, huh…”
After calling out a few tis, Ning Fan realized that Huo Qiuran wasn’t ho at the mont. Checking the ti, he figured she was likely at work.
It was rare for Ning Fan to think of visiting her, but finding no one ho left him a bit disappointed.
Just as Ning Fan was about to leave, the landline phone in the house suddenly rang.
Before Ning Fan could pick it up, the call automatically went to voicemail.
“Qiuran, it’s . Are you still unwilling to talk to ? Your mom and I both miss you. If you have so ti, please co back to Jiangcheng to see us!”
It was Huo Yuanshan’s voice. Ning Fan frowned. Earlier, he had been wondering who might be calling—it turned out to be this old fox.
At present, Huo Qiuran had only slightly forgiven Huo Zhanyuan, but as for Huo Yuanshan and the others, she still held deep grudges. She had once placed great hopes in Huo Yuanshan, but now she harbored equally profound disappointnt toward him.
“The Huo Family in Jiangcheng isn’t doing well right now. How far have you and Ning Fan progressed in your relationship? Those old foxes have been watching us constantly!”
Initially, Ning Fan had thought Huo Yuanshan was genuinely missing his daughter. However, after hearing the latter part of the ssage, he found himself nearly unable to hold back his anger, almost rushing to Jiangcheng to give this shaless old thief, Huo Yuanshan, a proper slap.
In the end, the man was just playing the emotional card, attempting to exploit Qiuran and Ning Fan’s relationship for so benefit.
Staring at the landline, Ning Fan was beyond infuriated. Huo Yuanshan was truly despicable.
Once the recording ended, Ning Fan decisively deleted it. This was a recording Qiuran didn’t need to hear—especially the latter part, which would only upset her.
Huo Yuanshan’s manner utterly lacked any semblance of familial warmth!
After deleting the recording, Ning Fan made a call, asking soone to buy 999 red roses from a florist. He planned to leave a gift for Huo Qiuran.
“I might as well leave a note too. Who knows when she’ll co back…”
Ning Fan tore a sheet of paper, grabbed a pen, and started writing, all while waiting for the roses to arrive.
Roughly ten minutes later, there was so noise at the entryway. Ning Fan initially thought it was the roses and excitedly went out to check.
As he walked down the hall, it suddenly hit him—the rose delivery should have rung the doorbell, but the sound earlier seed like soone unlocking the door. Could soone have co back?
“Ning Fan, what are you doing here?!”
Sure enough, when he reached the entryway, Ning Fan saw Huo Qiuran standing there, holding her coat.
Seeing Ning Fan, Huo Qiuran was visibly surprised.
“You’re here? Why didn’t you call first?”
Qiuran seed startled, playfully chiding Ning Fan in a soft voice. The usually commanding Queen of Zhonghai in front of Ning Fan was nothing more than a delicate woman.
Ning Fan rubbed his nose. Initially, he had planned to leave a gift for Qiuran and leave, but now that she had returned, there was no way he was leaving. After all, the person he wanted to see was here.
It seed the roses would beco an added surprise.
The two of them spent so ti together, and half an hour later, when the florist delivered the roses, the 999 red roses nearly drowned Ning Fan in Qiuran’s warmth and affection.
After spending the afternoon at Qiuran’s ho, Ning Fan left reluctantly under Qiuran’s longing gaze. Looking back at her bewitching eyes, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself: insatiable little fairy!
