Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "What's going on?" Ning Fan always felt that Ding Guoren's eyes were a bit off.

  "It's simple, spread the word that you slept with Zhao Qingxue, hahaha!" Ding Guoren's voice was very low, but after finishing, he couldn't help but laugh again.

  "You, how..." Ning Fan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly reacted.

  "It's really like that, haha!" Ding Guoren was even happier, apparently, just now, he was still uncertain, but Ning Fang's reaction made him certain.

  Ning Fan sighed secretly, this Ding Guoren was indeed an old fox, he had been deceived by him in a moment of carelessness.

  But looking at Ding Guoren's schadenfreude expression, he also believed it. Ding Guoren and Chen Zixuan were absolutely not in cahoots with each other.

  "In fact, this method is really good." Ding Guoren said seriously at this time.

  "I think Director Zhang should come to interrogate you." Ning Fan stood up, since Ding Guoren and Chen Zixuan were not together, he didn't need to stay here any longer.

  As soon as he walked out of the interrogation room, Zhang Anfeng came over excitedly, apparently, he had already seen the evidence, and the evidence made him quite satisfied.

  "Good job, Ning!" Zhang Anfeng hastily said, then rushed into the interrogation room. At this time, he naturally didn't have time to care about Ning Fan either, because he was going to conduct a surprise interrogation and make the case ironclad!

  Ning Fan didn't want to stay in the police station either, so he quickly walked out and hailed a taxi that was passing by.

  "Go to Qingyun No. 1." Ning Fan said, and the taxi started quickly. Ning Fan's body leaned back, and a wave of fatigue swept over him at this moment.

  The exhaustion was not physical, but mental. From that night on, for several days, he had been in a state of high nervous tension, and now his tense nerves finally relaxed, which also made him suddenly feel a deep-seated sense of fatigue.

  Subconsciously, Ning Fan took out his phone and dialed a number. After two rings, he suddenly realized something was off and hastily hung up the call, because he had subconsciously dialed Tiantian's number!

  In the past three years, every time he felt tired, he would call Tiantian. In her gentle voice, he could always quickly recover. Just now, when he felt exhausted again, he seemed to have suddenly forgotten that Tiantian had already left and subconsciously dialed her number.

  These past few days, all sorts of things have been happening to him, making him almost forget about Tiantian. However, at this moment, he realized that forgetting about Tiantian wasn't an easy thing to do, and at least for now, he still can't let her go.

  A real man should be able to pick up and put down, Ning Fan understands this truth, unfortunately, understanding is not the same as being able to do it.

  He let out a soft sigh and found Tiantian in his phone's contact list. After hesitating for a moment, he tapped delete, then hesitated again before tapping cancel.

  Deleting the phone number is meaningless, because he has already memorized her phone number clearly in his mind. Even if he deletes the number, he can't forget about her now. And when someday he can finally forget about her or stop caring about her, whether or not he deleted the phone number won't matter anymore.

  The taxi stopped at the entrance of Qingyun No. 1, and Ning Fan got out and walked in. Before he reached the gate of Jiuzhong Villa, he saw a familiar figure from afar.

  "Uncle, you're back!" Along with the clear voice, Yezi ran over with long strides.

  "Yèzi, what are you doing at the door?" Ning Fan frowned slightly.

  "Uncle, I've been waiting for you to come home and eat!" Yezi pulled Ning Fan and ran inside, "Hurry up, we're all starving!"

  As soon as he entered the living room, Tang Shaohuang let out a sigh of relief: "Brother, you're finally back. Yezi was going to go to the police station to look for you, but fortunately I just called Zhang Anfeng and he said you had already left the police station, so she didn't go."

  "Uncle, you must be hungry! Let's go eat!" Ye Zi pulled Ning Fan into the restaurant. "I've got a bowl of soup cooled down for you, Uncle, you drink first."

  "Hey Fangfang sister, Big Dumb Bear, come in and eat!"

  Ning Fan had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and at this moment, he completely forgot about Tongtong. A thousand words, a hundred emotions, all boiled down to one simple sentence: "Yezhi, why don't you sit down and eat too?"

  "Uh-huh!" Yezi sat down next to Ning Fan.

  "Brother, is everything settled?" Tang Shaohuang and Lin Fangfang also entered the restaurant at this moment.

  "Yeah, BeiBei has been rescued and Ding Guoren has also been caught. From now on, I have nothing to do with this matter." Ning Fan nodded.

  "It's settled then! Come on, brother, let's have a drink!" Tang Shaohuang had already opened a bottle of wine and poured Ning Fan a full glass, before filling his own as well. "Tonight we'll drink to our hearts' content!"

  "Honey, just drink happily and don't get drunk." Lin Fangfang said softly.

  "Right, uncle, don't get drunk, it's not good to be promiscuous after drinking!" Ye Zi added.

  Ning Fan suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart, and in an instant, he thought of Zhao Qingxue.

  "Come on, let's drink." Ning Fang raised his wine glass and simultaneously drove Zhao Qingxue out of his mind, downing the contents in one gulp.

  "Brother, you can hold your liquor, I like it!" Tang Shaohuang burst out laughing.

  "You two eat something first." Lin Fangfang said at this time.

  The dishes were sumptuous, and the wine was plentiful. Ning Fan and Tang Shaoyong ate and drank together, while Ye Zi and Lin Fangfang did not touch any wine. Ye Zi wanted to drink some, but Ning Fan didn't let her. As for Lin Fangfang, she simply didn't drink alcohol.

  About an hour later, Ye Zi and Lin Fangfang went down to the living room first, while Ning Fan and Tang Shaoyong were still drinking. At this time, both of them had already drunk a bottle of white wine.

  Ning Fan's alcohol tolerance is actually quite good, that night if he wasn't in such a bad mood, he probably wouldn't have gotten drunk, so one bottle of liquor didn't have much effect on him. Tang Shaohuang also seems to have a pretty good alcohol tolerance, at least for now he isn't drunk either.

  "Sister, they're not here now, tell me the truth, what's your relationship with Zhao Qingxue?" Tang Shaohuang asked in a low voice.

  "Daiyu, actually, I'm not really familiar with her." Ning Fan said with a bitter smile, this sentence was not a lie, he and Zhao Qingxue were indeed not familiar, but to some extent, the two had the closest relationship.

  "Alright, brother, you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore. But, about Chen Zixuan's side, can you handle it?" Tang Shaohuang was somewhat worried, "This morning's incident, was it also done by Chen Zixuan?"

  "That's not it, I thought it was him at first, but in the end, it wasn't." Ning Fan shook his head. "As for Chen Zixuan, don't worry too much about it, I think I can handle it."

  "Alright, anyway I'll try my best to help you, but if Zhao Qingxue is helping Chen Zixuan, then the extent of my assistance will be limited." Tang Shaohuang clearly had a great deal of apprehension towards Zhao Qingxue.

  Ning Fan almost said that Zhao Qingxue would no longer help Chen Zixuan, but in the end he didn't say it. He felt that this was his own private matter and there was no need to drag Tang Shaohuang into it.

  Although he had a good impression of Tang Shaoyong, after all, the two men had known each other for a short time.

  "By the way, brother, I can give you a lead." Tang Shaohuang lowered his voice again, "I heard from Yezi that you're quite familiar with Ye Rou?"

  "Yue Rou?" Ning Fan was taken aback, "You know her?"

  Come to think of it, Ye Rou's weirdo seemed to be from the provincial city, and Tang Shao Xiong was also from the provincial city. It wasn't unusual for the two to know each other.

  "It's nice to meet you." Tang Shaohuang nodded, "She is the famous ice queen of the provincial city, known as the biggest weirdo in the provincial government, and countless people regard her as a super big troublemaker. I don't know how many people she has offended, but her background is very mysterious. Every time something happens, someone can help her fix it. This time she voluntarily requested to leave the provincial city, and countless people are applauding. Although I'm not clear about her real background either, I think that if you can win her over, maybe you won't have to fear Zhao Qingxue anymore."

  How did you get your hands on that weirdo?

  Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Let alone that he had just gone through a breakup and wasn't in the mood, even if he was, unless his brain was addled, he would never think of hitting on that weird woman.

  "Daiyu, don't listen to Yezhi, I'm not familiar with Ye Rou that weirdo, but I've offended her a few times." Ning Fan shook his head, "Let's drink, Chen Zixuan's side, I can handle it."

  Actually, Ning Fan was thinking of Ding Guoren's plan at this time. He had to admit that Ding Guoren's plan was really good. If the relationship between him and Zhao Qingxue was exposed, it would be a devastating blow to Chen Zixuan, not just a spiritual humiliation, but more importantly, if others knew that Chen Zixuan no longer had the backing of Zhao Qingxue, then Chen Zixuan would not have his current status.

  However, Ning Fan found it difficult to do so with this method. After all, he felt that this would harm a woman's reputation too much. As a man, using such tactics was ultimately despicable.

  But Ding Guoren's words also made Ning Fan start to realize that perhaps the things that happened that night were also known by others, at least Ding Guoren had gotten a bit of unclear information.

  "Ding ding ding......" Ning Fan's phone rang at this moment, interrupting his thoughts.

  He picked up his mobile phone and took a look, finding that the call was from Xiaobai again. Ning Fan answered the phone: "Are you back in the city?"

  "I'm at the door, come out for a moment, I have something for you." Little White replied.

  "Alright." Ning Fan hung up the phone, "Daxiong, I'm going out for a bit."

  "Alright, brother, wait for you to come back and continue drinking." Tang Shaohuang was almost drunk.

  Ning Fan quickly left the villa and arrived at the entrance of the community, where he saw Xiao Bai.

  "Come on in and take a seat?" Ning Fang initiated the invitation. After all, Xiao Bai had helped him out greatly this time, and he was still very grateful.

  "No, let's leave here." Xiaobai shook his head. "There are some materials here, about Chen Zixuan. Now I'll give them all to you. We can only do this much. As for the future, no matter what happens between you and Chen Zixuan, we won't interfere again."

  Xiaobai said as he handed over the thick file bag in his hand to Ning Fan.
