Chapter 978: Chapter 967: Baby Hai Cos Again
Xu Rongfei had already left Zhonghai for abroad. Although thinking about this made Ning Fan a little downcast, there was nothing he could change now.
At the sa ti, it seed Xu Ruolan had picked up on sothing, but she wasn’t sure how to process it.
In the end, neither of them thought too much about this matter anymore. They simply stopped dwelling on it, and it didn’t affect them in any way.
Everything seed to return to peace, and Ning Fan was enjoying so leisurely days.
But these relaxing days didn’t last long—they were disrupted by a small unexpected incident.
“Brother Ning, there’s a police officer here for you!”
While Ning Fan was hanging out in the security departnt, chatting and joking around with Zhu Xuetao and the others, a security guard walked in from outside, sowhat panicked, and addressed Ning Fan.
When he heard there was a police officer looking for him, Ning Fan froze. This situation seed strange—why would the police be looking for him?
“What’s with you guys? That look in your eyes… What’s the matter? You’re staring at like I’m so kind of criminal!”
Ning Fan muttered discontentedly to Zhu Xuetao and the others, pouting with an annoyed expression.
They all had peculiar looks on their faces, which made Ning Fan feel like he really was being treated as a suspect.
“Brother Ning, the cop looking for you is a woman. And man, she’s gorgeous! She’s probably the beauty of the precinct!”
The guard who ca to inform him suddenly shifted the tone of his words, his expression turning vulgar. The way everyone in the room looked at Ning Fan beca increasingly ambiguous.
A beautiful female officer coming specifically to find Ning Fan—what originally wasn’t a complicated situation suddenly beca quite intricate because of that one remark.
“Brother Ning, you sure are lucky with won. Even the precinct beauty is chasing after you!”
Zhu Xuetao, always eager to stir up drama, remarked enviously, causing all the guys there to look at Ning Fan with green-eyed jealousy.
“Brother Ning, how about sharing so tips with us? Just look at us here in the security departnt, all burly guys without a shred of finesse, still single every one of us. If you could teach us a trick or two, it’d be practically charity work!”
Exaggerating, Zhu Xuetao pleaded. The other security guards joined in as if transforming into a pack of eager wolves, staring at Ning Fan in excitent.
Seeing them all waiting expectantly to hear his “secrets,” Ning Fan let out a disdainful snort and said crossly, “You lot are like hungry wolves who’ve never tasted at—if you’re all single, who’s to bla for that?”
“Hey now, that’s unfair! We’re all ex-military guys. You know the saying: ‘Three years in the military makes even a sow look like Diao Chan.’ You of all people should understand that!”
Zhu Xuetao offered an explanation, defending them, insisting it wasn’t their fault that they resembled overly eager wolves.
Ning Fan rolled his eyes and teased with a grin, “This office is full of won, but none of you go around pouncing on them like wolves!”
Hearing that, Zhu Xuetao imdiately rolled his eyes. Even the expressions of others turned to ones of disdain.
“Hiss!”
The security departnt imdiately erupted in a chorus of hissing.
“Co on, how could that be the sa? If we acted like wolves here, we’d be kissing our jobs goodbye!”
At this point, Zhu Xuetao retorted irritably.
Ning Fan shook his head, deciding not to keep joking with them. His deanor turned serious, and he said again, “You guys quit your wild guessing. A visit from the cops—do you think there’s any chance it’s a good thing?”
“Whether a visit from the cops is good news or not, that’s debatable. But if it’s a female cop, and she happens to be stunning, then sothing’s definitely off. Am I right?”
Zhu Xuetao continued to stir the pot, his words riling up the group again, filling the room with laughter and banter.
Listening to their whispering chatter, Ning Fan felt helpless. Though he knew these burly n were just joking around, for a brief mont, he still felt a pounding headache.
“Alright, enough. I’m not going to bicker with you lot anymore. I’m headed out now, and after I leave, none of you are allowed to spread nonsense!”
Ning Fan said, rolling up his sleeves and flexing his arms briefly to show off his muscles. Of course, his display was t with zero seriousness from the group.
Leaving the security departnt, Ning Fan imdiately went downstairs to et the lady cop.
As soon as he got downstairs, just as he expected, there was an impressive, beautiful female officer waiting in the lobby. And just as Ning Fan had thought—
“Baby Hai, turns out it’s really you!”
Ning Fan greeted her with a smile as he walked toward Baby Hai.
Upon hearing from the security guard that a female officer was looking for him, Ning Fan suspected right off the bat that the person might be Baby Hai.
Now, seeing her in person confird his prediction. The person looking for him was indeed Baby Hai, dressed casually in plain clothes.
“Finally taking the ti to co find , huh?”
Ning Fan looked at Baby Hai with curiosity. Although the two of them were familiar with each other, their interactions were rare unless sothing urgent ca up.
Baby Hai glanced around the area cautiously, her deanor subtly wary, clearly indicating that sothing serious was indeed happening.
Seeing this, Ning Fan felt even more perplexed. Could it be that he’d unwittingly gotten tangled up in sothing again?
As Ning Fan was puzzling over the situation, Baby Hai spoke up: “Ning Fan, have you noticed any strange people around you lately?”
She got straight to the point, and Ning Fan suddenly understood—it seed he truly had been pulled into so kind of incident.
But Ning Fan couldn’t figure it out. The only recent event he’d been involved in was the Situ Qingfeng case, and that matter had already been fully resolved. Could it be that those Dongying Onmyoji were seeking revenge in Zhonghai?
In reality, Ning Fan was overthinking it. Those Onmyoji certainly regarded him as an enemy, but after realizing his imnse strength, they had essentially been subdued by him and now only dared to curse him silently. None of them would dare co to Huaxia to make trouble…
“What’s got you in such a rush? What exactly happened?”
Curiosity on edge, Ning Fan asked urgently, eager to understand what kind of incident he’d been swept into this ti.
Only once he knew what was going on could Ning Fan figure out how to deal with it.
“This place is too crowded. Let’s go sowhere else—I’ll explain there. By the way, do you have ti right now? Aren’t you still at work?”
Baby Hai suggested moving to a quieter location, noting the presence of too many people and questioning whether Ning Fan, who was technically still on duty, was free at the mont to talk.
“Of course I have ti. Let’s go sowhere else to talk…”
Since Ning Fan’s position at the company was more symbolic than practical, leaving whenever he pleased wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. Ultimately, he was free to co and go as he pleased—it was more about what Ning Fan wanted.
With that, the two left Xu Corporation and found a quiet spot to talk.
“Do you rember that loan shark organization from before?” Baby Hai asked bluntly.
