Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat, his hand holding the phone shook violently, and the mobile phone almost fell out of his hand. He took a deep breath in, and then slowly exhaled, finally calming himself down.

  "What do you want to do?" Ning Fan spoke up, his voice already very calm.

  "Come to the restaurant, alone." Mo Feng's response was unusually brief, and then he hung up the phone.

  Ning Fan suddenly jumped up from the sofa, but in the next second, he sat back down again, took a deep breath once more, and then called out to upstairs in a calm tone: "Ye Zi."

  "Uncle, I'll have the room cleaned up right away!" Yezhi's voice came from the bedroom.

  "Yèzi, I have something to attend to outside, you wait for me at home." Ning Fan said in a gentle voice.

  "Where are you going, Uncle?" Yezi immediately ran out of the bedroom, "I want to go too!"

  "I'll just go see someone nearby, I'll be right back." Ning Fan said with a very casual tone, "You don't have to go, first help me clean up the room, and also help me put my clothes in the washing machine to wash them."

  "Alright then, but uncle, I want to eat ice cream, buy some for me on the way home." Ye Zi thought for a moment and agreed.

  "Go, we'll buy it for you later." Ning Fan smiled, "By the way, don't go out alone by yourself, and don't open the door for anyone else. If a stranger comes looking for you, remember to call me right away."

  "Got it, uncle, I'll be careful." Yezi pouted and ran back into the bedroom.

  The next second, Ning Fan rushed out of the villa like an arrow off the string and ran wildly on the road at the fastest speed. The wind whizzed past his ears, and Ning Fan didn't have time to think about what Fang Lanlan had encountered. He just wanted to appear in the restaurant in the shortest possible time!

  A few kilometers away, this moment seemed especially distant. A short few minutes of time, for Ning Fan, was like experiencing a long century. When he saw the Lanlan restaurant, his heart jumped again, and intense anxiety surged up from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't even dare to imagine whether Fang Lanlan was alive or dead at this moment.

  The moment he stepped into the restaurant, Ning Fan forced himself to calm down. At this moment, he had to be calm.

  Just as Ning Fan walked into the restaurant, he saw a man sitting at a table. The man looked ordinary, about forty years old, slightly thin, and was eating his meal. At first glance, he seemed like an average diner.

  Ning Fan had seen Mo Feng's photo before, and at this moment, Ning Fan also recognized him at a glance. This person was indeed Mo Feng. Judging by his appearance alone, probably no one would have thought that he was actually that brutal and perverted bandit.

  The kitchen was filled with the sound of stir-frying, and the aroma of cooking wafted out. Ning Fan's suspended heart slowly fell, it seemed that at least for now, Fang Lanlan had not been harmed.

  Ning Fan sat down directly in front of Mo Feng without saying a word. Since Mo Feng dared to appear like this, he must have had some backing. For the time being, Ning Fan didn't dare to make any rash moves either.

  "Ning Fan, you're here." A slightly surprised voice came over.

  Ning Fan raised his head and saw Fang Lanlan holding a plate of braised pork appearing, she quickly came to the table, put down the dish, and then asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"

  "Boss lady, your phone." Mo Feng handed the phone over to Fang Lanlan. "Also, stir-fry some green vegetables for us again."

  "Alright, right away." Fang Lanlan quickly turned around and went back into the kitchen, apparently she hadn't realized the danger at all.

  "What kind of trick do you want to play, just say it." Ning Fan finally spoke up.

  "She's good at cooking." Mo Feng answered irrelevantly, "In the past, I thought that a woman who could cook must be a good woman. At that time, I had a wife, and she was also very good at cooking."

  "People like you don't deserve a good woman." Ning Fan said calmly.

  To give her a good life, I went abroad as a mercenary. When I came back, I found out that a woman who can cook doesn't necessarily mean she's a good woman, because she might also cook for other men. Mo Feng picked up a piece of braised pork, "The day I came back, she made me a bowl of braised pork, but it was no longer the taste I wanted, so I killed her."

  "I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense." Ning Fan slightly furrowed his brow, "Speak, what exactly are you planning to do?"

  "Yè Lóng asked me to pass on a message to you, he hopes that you can personally bury him and his wife together." Mò Fēng had an air of calmness about him, not looking like an escaped convict at all.

  "Yè Lóng, why would he let you bring a message?" Ning Fán slightly furrowed his brow.

  "It's simple, Ye Long and I were once comrades-in-arms. Otherwise, do you think I would have been caught?" Mo Feng said with some disdain, "If I hadn't deliberately let myself be caught, could the police here have possibly caught me?"

  "You're saying you deliberately got yourself imprisoned just to go kill Ye Long?" Ning Fan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Yè Lóng was a man of his word, he treated me like a brother, but what he didn't know was that the one who stabbed him in the back at the crucial moment was also a brother, so he died." Mò Fēng smiled slightly, "However, I'm still a trustworthy person, I promised to help him deliver a message, and besides, I have a task here that requires your cooperation."

  "So you're also a part-time hitman." Ning Fan's tone was slightly disdainful.

  "Wrong, I'm a mercenary. I realized one thing a long time ago: women and brothers are unreliable, only money is the most reliable." Mo Feng's tone suddenly became somewhat agitated, "My woman betrayed me, my brother sold me out, but my money has always been the most loyal to me!"

  "So, who hired you?" Ning Fan asked calmly.

  "I've never cared about the client's identity, as long as they pay me. Mo Feng stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth. "My client originally only asked me to take out Ye Long, but now he's given me a new task. To be honest, I really like this new task."

  "So you're saying that the person who made you kill Ye Long and the one who sent you to deal with me are the same?" Ning Fang asked calmly.

  "Maybe, but does it matter?" Mo Feng suddenly turned his head and looked towards the kitchen entrance. At this moment, Fang Lanlan happened to walk out from inside, "Tell me, if you saw her being stripped naked and killed by me with your own eyes, how would you feel?"

  Bang!

  The plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, Fang Lanlan's face suddenly turned pale.

  "Look, women are just timid. I just said a word and she's already scared." Mo Feng shook his head, "Actually, I really like to see women beg for mercy in front of me. The more they beg, the more interested I become. However, this client gave me a great suggestion. He knows I'm very good at dealing with women, so he asked me to let you watch while I do what I'm good at. I have to say, I really like this suggestion. This feeling, I haven't experienced it before. Just thinking about it makes me feel excited!"

  Looking at Mo Feng's excited expression and eyes shining with an unusual glow, Ning Fan remained calm: "Mo Feng, you're indeed psychologically abnormal."

  "You will soon be watching your woman being humiliated, abused and tortured by me, while you can do nothing but watch with your own eyes as all this happens. Will you have a feeling of living worse than death? Mo Feng's expression became even more excited, "I believe you will have such a feeling, my client will also be very satisfied."

  "Mo Feng, logically speaking, you're quite intelligent despite being perverted." Ning Fang's expression was rather strange. "So, I don't understand why you're not worried that I'll kill you directly? You should know that you're currently a fugitive on death row, and anyone can kill you."

  "Kill me?" Mo Feng seemed stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing loudly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Hahaha..."

  He laughed for a full ten seconds before Mo Feng stopped: "Ning Fang, Ning Fang, you're really amusing. You actually thought of killing me? Do you know who I am? I used to be the best special forces soldier and also the best mercenary in the Golden Triangle. Now, I'm the best criminal. Back then, so many police officers tried to catch me but couldn't. It was only when I surrendered voluntarily that they were able to capture me. And you, a former policeman with a pretty face, actually thought of killing me? Interesting... really interesting..."

  Mo Feng's triumphant smile suddenly froze, his voice also abruptly stopped, because a hand had suddenly grasped his throat, and the owner of this hand was none other than Ning Fan!

  "You're really too confident." Ning Fang said lightly, he was originally worried that Mo Feng had other reliance, but unexpectedly, Mo Feng actually just overestimated his own strength, since that's the case, he wouldn't waste any more time.

  Turning his head to look at Fang Lanlan, Ning Fan quickly instructed: "Sister Lan, you go into the kitchen first."

  "Oh, okay, alright." Fang Lanlan hastily replied with a somewhat flustered tone and quickly retreated into the kitchen.

  Just then, Mo Feng suddenly moved. His left hand, which had been hidden under the table, suddenly appeared, and on it was a shiny dagger. He grasped the dagger in his left hand and fiercely stabbed at Ning Fan's right hand, which was clutching his throat!

  Mo Feng made his move, and Ning Fan suddenly understood why Mo Feng was so confident earlier. Compared to ordinary people, Mo Feng was indeed a master. Unfortunately, Mo Feng had chosen the wrong opponent this time.

  Ning Fan suddenly loosened his grip on Mo Feng's throat, and his right hand slightly withdrew before swiftly pinching towards Mo Feng's left wrist. Almost at the same time, Mo Feng's right hand also launched an attack, grasping a pair of chopsticks that stabbed fiercely towards Ning Fan's heart!

  Mo Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left wrist, and the dagger slipped out of his hand. In the next instant, severe pain came from his right hand.

  Ning Fan snatched the dagger in an extremely short period of time, then stabbed it into Mo Feng's right hand, pinning his palm to the dinner table. At the same time, the pair of chopsticks that Mo Feng was holding in his right hand also fell into Ning Fan's hands, and this pair of chopsticks stabbed fiercely into Mo Feng's left hand in the next second.

  "Ah......" Mo Feng finally couldn't bear it and let out a mournful cry, in that instant, both of his hands were nailed to the dinner table!

  "Mo Feng, when you torment others, have you ever thought that one day you will also suffer at the hands of others?" Ning Fang asked again, sitting back down calmly.
