Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  Ning Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks, slowly turned around, and looked at the long-legged beauty, because this sentence was exactly what the long-legged woman who despised his physique that morning had said.

  "What do you mean by that?" Ning Fan asked in as calm a tone as possible.

  "You know who I'm talking about." The long-legged beauty hummed softly, "Liu Daochang of Qingyun Pavilion, is he your master?"

  "Are you looking for him?" Ning Fan asked back, and he finally understood why they had met at the Qingyun Pavilion that morning.

  "Where is Liu Daochang?" A cold voice rang out, and it was Ye Rou who finally couldn't help but ask.

  "What are you looking for him?" Ning Fan asked again.

  "It was I who asked you first!" Ye Rou said with a somewhat annoyed expression.

  "You don't have to answer." Ning Fan's face was calm and collected.

  "Do you really know where Liu Daochang is?" The long-legged beauty added another sentence.

  "You can pretend I don't know." Ning Fan remained calm as ever.

  "I think you didn't know in the first place." The long-legged beauty hummed softly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't want to know about Liu Daochang's news."

  "If you really have news about him, why come ask me?" Ning Fan said calmly.

  "We have news of him, it's just that we don't know where he is now." Ye Rou was somewhat annoyed, "Forget it, let's not waste words on this scoundrel, let's go inside first!"

  After saying this, Ye Rou came to the villa gate and walked in with her mouth open.

  This made Ning Fan momentarily stunned, did this freak actually live here?

  "We live here, if you want to know the news of Liu Daochang, come find us!" The long-legged beauty gave Ning Fang a strange look with her eyes, left this sentence, and then quickly followed Ye Rou, after which, the two disappeared from Ning Fang's line of sight.

  Ning Fan almost couldn't help but go with them, but in the end, he endured. He couldn't treat these two freak beauties as normal people. If he really went with them now, he probably wouldn't get any useful information from them. He had to wait for them to come to him on their own initiative.

  What were they looking for from Lao Dao?

  "Old Dao indeed has many secrets on him." Ning Fan thought to himself in admiration.

  "Hey, uncle!" Yezi shouted loudly, with a somewhat dissatisfied look, "Everyone else has already gone in, what are you still looking at?"

  Turning to look at Yezi, he found her pouting, Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but didn't explain anything, just shook his head: "Alright, let's go."

  "It's so annoying, his legs are even longer than mine!" Yezi said with a disgruntled expression, "Uncle, I want to grow taller!"

  Before Ning Fan could speak, Ye Zi asked again with a very serious expression: "Uncle, I'm not yet sixteen years old, I can still grow taller, right?"

  "Yeah, theoretically it's possible to grow taller." Ning Fan didn't discourage Yezi's enthusiasm.

  "I must still be able to grow taller." Yezi said to herself.

  Ning Fan pulled Ye Zi, who was still jealous of others' long legs, out of the villa area and got into a taxi a few minutes later, arriving at the Zhuoyue Club once again.

  "Uncle, what are we doing here?" Yezi asked curiously as they walked into the Excellent Club.

  Ning Fan didn't say a word and directly walked towards the underground boxing arena. The two security guards at the entrance still didn't stop them, and the two of them arrived smoothly on the first floor underground.

  Just like yesterday, today's underground boxing arena is still a bit deserted, even more so than yesterday. Of course, normally the most lively time here is at night, because at night there are real black boxing matches, while during the day, they are usually some seemingly regular matches.

  But at this moment, there was no one competing on the boxing ring, but rather a few people sitting in the stands, among whom were two people that Ning Fan had met yesterday, namely Wang and Yang Shao.

  The two bodyguards were still there, and apart from that, there were a few unfamiliar faces that hadn't appeared yesterday. Ning Fan scanned the surroundings with a glance, and couldn't help but frown slightly, because the person he was looking for, Zhuoyue, wasn't here.

  "Let's go." Ning Fan pulled Ye Zi and turned around, ready to leave.

  "Wait a minute." A faint voice came from behind, "Since you two are here, let's settle the accounts between us."

  Ning Fan turned around and looked towards the source of the sound, and it was precisely that Yang Shao who was speaking.

  "I think there's no account between us." Ning Fan said slowly.

  "Miss Ye lost herself and her villa to me yesterday, this debt has been owed for a day, I don't want the interest, but the principal should be paid now." Yang Shao slowly got up, walked out of the viewing platform, and approached Ning Fan, while behind him, two burly men closely followed.

  "I remember I made it very clear yesterday." Ning Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.

  "Maybe I didn't make things clear yesterday." Yang Shao smiled faintly, "Now I'll make it clearer to you, there has never been anyone who owes me something and doesn't pay back."

  "I'll make it clear again, neither I nor Yezi owe you anything!" Ning Fan said in a low voice, then pulled Yezi and turned to leave.

  "Miss Yezi, I hope you understand that from now on, I will start calculating the interest." Yang Shao didn't stop him, but said calmly.

  Ning Fan didn't care, and dragged Ye Zi away from the underground boxing arena.

  Out of the club, Ye Zi asked again: "Uncle, are you here to find Zhuoyue?"

  "Uh, there's something I want to ask him." Ning Fan nodded.

  "Uncle, wait for me, I'll go in and ask about the news." Yezi immediately turned around and ran inside.

  Ning Fan had originally wanted to follow her, but soon saw that Ye Zi was just chatting with two security guards, so he didn't go over. As long as she was still within his line of sight, there naturally wouldn't be any problems.

  A few minutes later, Ye Zi ran out: "Uncle, it's so strange. They said Zhuoyue is no longer the boss here. The current boss is that annoying little sissy Yang Shao or something, and they don't know where Zhuoyue is either, just saying he might have gone to the hospital."

  After a pause, Ye Zi asked again: "Uncle, should we go to the hospital?"

  "Go take a look." Ning Fan nodded.

  Just then, his phone rang again.

  He took out his mobile phone and answered it immediately: "Uncle Kun!"

  "Ning Fan, Ye Long's daughter is with you, right? Tell her that she can take her father's body back." Shi Kun's hoarse voice was slightly tired.

  "Alright, I'll tell her." Ning Fan responded with a sound, but then asked somewhat puzzled: "Uncle Kun, is the case closed so quickly?"

  "The city wants to close the case as soon as possible and doesn't want to cause unnecessary panic." Shi Kun's tone was slightly helpless, "By the way, Ning Fan, Ye Long died in prison, the prison is responsible for it. You tell Ye Long's daughter that she can ask the prison for compensation, they should give some compensation."

  "Uh-huh, I'll ask Yezi what she means." Ning Fan nodded, "Then, Uncle Kun, has there been any progress on the case of that girl named Bai Min?"

  The phone was silent for a while before Shi Kun's voice came on again: "Ning Fan, I'm going to tell you something, don't get too angry."

  "Uncle Kun, what's wrong?" Ning Fan suddenly had a bad premonition.

  "Bai Min's case has been closed." Shi Kun said in a low voice: "The murderer is still identified as Mo Feng."

  "What?" Ning Fan felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, "Uncle Kun, what's going on here? Even if you ignored those suspicious points I mentioned earlier, didn't you interrogate Mo Feng? Mo Feng personally told me that he didn't kill Bai Min!"

  "Ning Fan, we actually didn't have time to interrogate Mo Feng." Shi Kun was even more helpless. "We sent Mo Feng to the hospital, and then at noon, Bai Min's brother suddenly appeared in the ward and killed Mo Feng. Then the city asked us to conclude the case quickly. Zhang Ju had originally separated the two cases for investigation, but later forcibly merged the two cases and concluded them like this. We couldn't do anything about it either. Zhang Ju should have also been under pressure from the city."

  The anger in his heart surged out of control, and Ning Fan almost crushed his phone. He took a few deep breaths, using great willpower to suppress the flames of anger, before gritting his teeth and asking, "Uncle Kun, how could White Mian's brother possibly know Mo Feng's whereabouts so quickly?"

  "It must be that someone leaked the news to him, Bai Min's brother has been caught, but he didn't say anything. He thought he had avenged his sister, and we also received orders that no one can say Mo Feng is not the real culprit." Shi Kun's tone was full of exhaustion, "Ning Fang, I'm not saying I didn't protest to Director Zhang, but my ability is limited too. Now I can only comfort myself, maybe Mo Feng really is the real culprit."

  "Uncle Kun, who in the city is putting pressure on Director Zhang, do you know?" Ning Fan asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know." Shi Kun sighed, "Ning Fan, forget it, you're no longer a police officer, don't get involved in these things anymore."

  "Uncle Kun, a 16-year-old girl died so miserably. I know the murderer is still at large, and I won't just sit back and do nothing." Ning Fan said in a low voice: "I will seek justice for that girl!"

  Ning Fan hung up the phone, his fist clenched again. Even if this matter had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't ignore it. Moreover, he already had a feeling that this matter might actually have something to do with him too, so he couldn't ignore it even more!

  "Uncle, are you okay? You look really angry." A soft and gentle voice with a hint of unease came from beside him.

  Turning his head to look at Ye Zi, Ning Fan let out a long sigh and suppressed the anger in his heart once again.

  "I'm fine." Ning Fan forced a smile, "Ye Zi, what kind of funeral do you want to hold for your father?"

  "Uncle, my dad told me before, if he dies, nothing needs to be done, just cremate him and put his ashes with mom's ashes together." Yezi spoke in a normal tone, seemingly unaffected by the topic.

  Ning Fan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly the words Ye Long had let Mo Feng bring to him echoed in his mind. Could it be that Ye Long's words actually had another meaning?
