Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding
"What's wrong?" Ning Fan asked with some curiosity, thinking that there shouldn't be any more trouble.
"Uncle, those police didn't return our computers!" Yezi looked a bit anxious.
"Oh, it's okay, just come back later then." Ning Fan let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes, Yezi, don't worry, it's just a computer, right? Even if you can't get it back, just go buy another one." Lin Fangfang said casually.
"Fangfang sister, we can't afford a computer!" Yezi said straightforwardly.
"Can't afford a computer?" Lin Fang was taken aback, "Yezhi, computers aren't that expensive."
"But we're very poor, Fangfang sister, you don't know, we're just the poor people living in luxury villas!" Yezi pouted, "Uncle is really poor now, he only has 1,000 yuan on him!"
"This..." Lin Fangfang was stunned for a moment, living in such a luxurious villa, but being so poor that she only had 1,000 yuan left, this was really hard to believe.
"Brother, is this true?" Tang Shaohuang also couldn't help but ask.
"It's indeed the case, but it's only temporary." Ning Fan didn't want to mention this matter, but since Ye Zi had already brought it up, he didn't want to hide it either. He currently only had a thousand or so yuan on him; yesterday he had two thousand, but Ye Long's cremation had cost him over a thousand, so his available assets had become even less.
"Brother, if you're short of money, just say so. Give me a card number and I'll transfer 10 million to you right now. You can use it first." Tang Shaohuang said as he took out his phone, apparently ready to make the transfer to Ning Fan.
"Daiyu, although we've just met for a short while, I like your straightforwardness." Ning Fan shook his head, "If you truly regard me as your brother, then I hope you won't mention money matters to me. Perhaps other things I'll ask for your help with in the future, but when it comes to money matters, I'll handle them myself."
"Alright, brother, since you put it that way, I won't mention money either." Tang Shaohuang patted Ning Fan's shoulder. "Brother, I'll be straight with you too. The thing is, I'm a bit weird when it comes to making friends - it's all about the feeling. Before I met you, I called you brother because you saved my life, but after meeting you, I really do consider you as my brother."
"Ning Fan, actually, if you're having financial difficulties now, we can lend you some money first and you can pay us back later." Lin Fangfang couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wife, don't say that." Tang Shaohuang waved his hand and looked at Ning Fan, "Brother, I only have one request. If you really encounter difficulties, be sure to find me. Since we are brothers, there's nothing we can't discuss."
"Alright, if I really can't make any money, I'll come find you." Ning Fan smiled slightly. He indeed had a very good impression of Tang Shaoyong. Although Tang Shaoyong's temper was a bit explosive, he was straightforward and not hypocritical at all. Every word and action was genuine, without any pretence. Despite having known each other for a short time, Ning Fan felt that this person was truly worth getting to know better.
"Uncle, what do you think we should do to make money?" Ye Zi tilted her head, looking thoughtful.
"Brother, I think you should be able to make money easily, with the skills you used to save me, no one can do it." Tang Shaohuang's face was filled with emotion, "You don't know, in the hospital, my wife said that my carotid artery had been pierced, those doctors didn't believe it, if I hadn't really lost a lot of blood, they might have thought I wasn't even injured. If I hadn't met you, I would have been cremated by now."
"Yes, Ning Fan, I thought you were a doctor. We looked through the hospital list and couldn't find you. This morning at the hotel, we accidentally saw a promotional brochure and found out that you're actually a police officer." Lin Fangfang also nodded, "You should be a doctor instead, being a police officer is wasting your talent."
"Huh, Uncle, can you still cure illnesses?" Yezi asked with some curiosity.
"Daiyu, I don't want to deceive you either, I indeed have some special abilities." Ning Fan revealed a bitter smile, "But this ability is not what you think it is."
Pausing for a moment, Ning Fan continued: "Actually, until now, I'm not very clear about this ability, but one thing is certain, that is, this ability can heal injuries, but it can't cure illnesses."
"Treating injuries but not illnesses?" Tang Shaohuang's face was full of surprise, "This, this is too strange, right?"
"It's quite strange." Ning Fan said with some helplessness, "So, I'm really not a divine doctor."
"It seems that making money with this is a bit difficult, but to say, brother, your ability is still very impressive, don't worry about getting hurt, you want to fight with people, unless you die on the spot, otherwise you will definitely not die." Tang Shaohuang had a slightly envious look, "It seems that in this world, there really are special superpowers like this."
"Wow, Uncle, you have superpowers?" Ye Zi's face was full of excitement.
"In fact, I'm not sure if this is a superpower." Ning Fan shook his head again, "Because someone once told me that in this world, superpowers shouldn't exist."
"But you obviously have it, Uncle Ke." Yezi said with some discontent.
"Never mind, let's not talk about this." Ning Fan shook his head, "Daxiong, Yezi, I hope you can keep this a secret for me. I don't want my special abilities to become known to everyone."
"Brother, don't worry, I won't speak out of turn. But did you really just break both legs of that Yang Dàyǒng guy and then heal him again?" Tang Shaòxióng asked.
Ning Fan nodded: "That's right."
"In that case, I'm afraid that kid will be suspicious." Tang Shaohuang furrowed his brow.
"Doubt if you want, but some things can't be hidden forever." Ning Fan was quite calm about it, "I won't deliberately show off my abilities, nor will I deliberately hide them. Everything will happen naturally."
In the past decade, Ning Fan had always been low-key and never revealed his special abilities. Now, he was also used to being low-key, but these recent events made him realize that being too low-key wasn't necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, showing off one's abilities appropriately could at least intimidate others.
Just as he thought now, at least in the near future, Yang Dayong would not appear before him again.
"Brother, I think your name is really well-chosen, it suits you perfectly." Tang Shaohuang felt a little sentimental, "Although you'd rather be ordinary, but you're destined to be extraordinary, one day, you'll become the most special person, haha, at that time, countless people will envy me for having you as my brother!"
After a pause, Tang Shaohuang said: "Right, brother, is there wine here? I really want to have a good drink with you."
"Uncle, why don't I go with Fangfang to buy vegetables and wine, and we can have lunch at home?" Yezi suggested, blinking her eyes.
"Great, this is a great idea!" Tang Shaohuang patted his thigh, "Wife, you go with Yezi, my brother and I will chat at home first."
"Daiyu, now Yezi has gone outside, it may not be very safe." Ning Fan hesitated for a moment.
"Don't worry, brother, Yang Dàyǒng wouldn't dare do anything to my wife." Tang Shàoxióng was full of confidence.
Ning Fan shook his head: "It's not Yang Dayong's problem."
"Huh, brother, what's going on? Have you run into some big trouble now?" Tang Shaohuang furrowed his brow, "Tell me about it, let's discuss a way to deal with it."
"This thing can't be clarified for the time being, in fact, many places, I myself am not clear." Ning Fan showed a hint of helplessness, "The only thing that can be confirmed is that someone is secretly targeting the people around me, Yezi is also one of the targets, so now I don't even dare to let Yezi go out alone."
"This isn't a long-term solution, you can't be with Yezi every minute of every day." Tang Shaohuang said with a frown.
"Hey, big silly bear, what's wrong with you? Why can't I always be with Uncle?" Yezi shouted unhappily.
"Hey, Yezi, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it that way." Tang Shaohuang's face suddenly turned sour, ever since being yelled at by Yezi at the police station, Tang Shaohuang seemed to be a bit intimidated by Yezi.
"Yèzi, what Dàxióng means is that sometimes you both have your own things to do, like you need to study and Ningfan needs to work, so it's impossible for you to be together every minute of every day." Lín Fāngfāng explained from the side.
"I can stop studying, Uncle goes to work, I can follow him too. When Uncle becomes the boss, I can be his little secretary." Yezi said with a pout.
"Yè zi, don't talk nonsense." Ning Fan said in a low voice, "Wait until I've settled this matter, then you can go back to school and attend classes."
"Uncle, I don't want to go." Yezi looked at Ning Fan with a pitiful expression, "School is no fun at all."
"We have to go." Ning Fan's tone was very firm.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, uncle." Yezi lowered her head, looking sulky.
"Alright, let's talk about this later." Lin Fangfang gently held Yezi's hand and looked at Tang Shaohuang, "Husband, we won't go out for now. How about this? You call Zhang Anfeng and ask him to send someone to bring back Yezi's computer, and also have that person help us buy some fish meat and other things from the supermarket, as well as some wine. That way, everything will be settled."
"Ah, this is a good idea, wife, you're so clever. I'll make the call right away." Tang Shaohuang immediately dialed Zhang Anfeng's phone number.
"Come on, Yezi, let's go to the kitchen and get ready." Lin Fangfang then pulled Yezi into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Tang Shaohuang hung up the phone: "It's settled, the goods will be delivered within half an hour."
Put down his phone, Tang Shaohuang lowered his voice: "Brother, just now Yezi was here, you might have some things that are inconvenient to say. Now tell me, what's the trouble you're facing?"
"Daiyu, I'm not trying to deceive Yezi, I just can't be 100% sure who the enemy is yet." Ning Fan shook his head.
"You give me a name and I'll check it out for you." Tang Shaoyong obviously didn't want to let it go.
Ning Fan hesitated for a moment before finally uttering the name: "Chen Zixuan."
