Chapter 949: Chapter 938: This is the Intelligence for You
Three days hadn’t fully passed before Eagle ca back with the investigation results.
For this matter that Ning Fan had entrusted him with, Eagle truly went all out. While three days wasn’t exactly a short ti, it was still tight enough that Eagle had to mobilize a lot of people and even enlist Zi Hongyu’s help.
After receiving the news from Eagle, Ning Fan rushed to Dragon Eagle Hall, ready to hear his report.
“Eagle, I heard you’ve got the results. Spill it!”
Ning Fan looked at Eagle with so anticipation. He was dying to find out who the guy was that dared to use his na so boldly. Was this man insane or just suicidal?
Eagle cleared his throat and, assuming a serious expression, said, “Boss Ning, we’ve got it. The group that’s been running the loan shark operations is from out of town. They arrived about three months ago,
and they’ve been expanding for a while now. They even have people stationed in several casinos.”
“From out of town? Out of town makes them think they’re hot shit? Did they even bother to check in with you? Running loan shark operations here? Are they begging to die?!”
Ning Fan scoffed dismissively, clearly displeased. This was their turf, after all. Anyone coming from the outside would need to give Eagle a heads-up and respectfully offer tea. That’s the proper way.
Of course, what Ning Fan was really bothered by wasn’t the lack of etiquette. He wasn’t one for formalities. What pissed him off was their actions, especially how they were going around conning people while throwing his na around.
“Boss Ning, I’ve also looked into this. Turns out the boss behind the group once got drunk at a banquet and bragged shalessly that you and he were close buddies. Although it started as a joke,
the rumor spread so much that even their own people started to believe it. As for why they were able to run their loan shark business in Zhonghai, this is partly on . It’s a failure on my part for managing poorly. I’m willing to take the punishnt!”
Eagle explained with a bitter smile, prepared to take responsibility for the matter.
As the top figure in Zhonghai now, sothing like this happening on his watch was undoubtedly his oversight. Eagle was ready to accept any punishnt—even if it ant losing his life, he wouldn’t blink an eye.
“I’m not blaming you. Do you have all the background files on their upper managent? And did you collect enough dirt on them?”
Ning Fan shook his head. He wasn’t interested in assigning bla, though he did want to use this as a chance to remind Eagle to be more vigilant in the future. Ning Fan wasn’t keen on ddling too much in street affairs himself.
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s question, Eagle imdiately pulled out a USB drive and handed it over.
“Everything about their upper managent is on here—their backgrounds, their dirt—as well as their incriminating evidence, except for Huo Yunkuang…”
Ning Fan had been nodding along until Eagle suddenly ntioned “except for Huo Yunkuang,” which made Ning Fan laugh in disbelief.
“Except for Huo Yunkuang? What’s that supposed to an?”
“Here’s the thing, Boss Ning. Huo Yunkuang has already severed ties with the loan shark syndicate. Word is, it’s because of you. Plus, he’s helped us a lot with this investigation. So I decided on my own not to prepare anything on him. Boss Ning, did I screw up?”
Eagle awkwardly explained. He hadn’t gathered evidence on Huo Yunkuang since he wasn’t sure how Ning Fan wanted to handle him. Besides, Huo Yunkuang had been of significant help, so Eagle left him out intentionally.
Ning Fan nodded slightly after hearing his explanation and chuckled, “It’s fine, you did well. Don’t bother with Huo Yunkuang.”
Huo Yunkuang wasn’t a big deal to Ning Fan. What mattered was this loan shark syndicate. If not for overhearing his own na being thrown around, Ning Fan wouldn’t have bothered dealing with them so decisively. This ti, though, they’d blatantly stepped on him.
Adding to that was the agreent with Baby Hai, which pushed Ning Fan to resolve the issue quickly.
“It’s pretty much done. You don’t need to take any action. Handle the cleanup later. The cops will take care of the rest.”
Ning Fan dropped the reminder. He only wanted Eagle to investigate; he didn’t plan to use his own force to crush the syndicate. With the dirt in hand, the police could bring them to justice.
Eagle seed to have anticipated this and said nothing. He simply escorted Ning Fan out of Dragon Eagle Hall respectfully.
After leaving Dragon Eagle Hall, Ning Fan imdiately contacted Baby Hai: “Baby Hai, where are you right now?”
“Is that you, Ning Fan?!”
Baby Hai exclaid joyfully. She had been waiting for Ning Fan’s call for days.
Two days ago, she had given Ning Fan her contact information, but she didn’t have his. This had left Baby Hai anxious and frustrated, unable to reach him.
“You finally called . Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting?!”
Her tone was a mix of joy, anticipation, and reproach. Ning Fan could sense how emotional she was from her voice.
Ning Fan chuckled, “Let’s et at the spot we were last ti. I’ll be waiting there for you. Get over here soon.”
“I’ll co, but if you don’t have good news for , you better be ready for trouble!”
Baby Hai teased in her charming voice before promptly hanging up.
Ning Fan stared at the phone and shook his head, laughing. He could already picture Baby Hai’s expression—she must be thrilled.
Ning Fan wasted no ti heading to the coffee shop where he had last t Baby Hai. To his surprise, she arrived before him.
“Hey, you said I’d be the one waiting for you, but I’ve been waiting here for almost three minutes now!”
Baby Hai approached Ning Fan, lifting her snowy-white neck and looking up at him proudly, like she’d just won a competition.
“Okay, okay, you win. Can we sit down now?”
“Hurry up, hurry up! I can’t wait any longer. Give it to !”
“Give you what?”
Ning Fan watched Baby Hai’s impatient expression and couldn’t resist teasing her.
Baby Hai didn’t notice the sly grin on Ning Fan’s face and instinctively replied, “The intel, of course!”
Too bad Ning Fan didn’t get the shy, flustered reaction he had hoped for. Baby Hai was more like a starving wolf, and the intel Ning Fan held was the al she was desperate for.
“Alright, here you go. This USB drive contains all the details of the loan shark syndicate’s upper managent, including their incriminating evidence. Take it—you can start making arrests imdiately!”
“What?! Are you serious? All the background info on their upper managent and their dirt is in here? How the hell did you pull this off?! You’re not ssing with , are you?!”
