Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Thank you." Ning Fan didn't decline and took over the file bag.

  "No need to thank me, it's the young lady's orders." Xiaobai smiled and said, "Ning Fang, next, I have a few private words to say to you. However, you must understand that my words do not represent the young lady's attitude."

  Ning Fan nodded, although he knew that Xiao Bai was definitely Zhao Qingxue's trusted subordinate, but Xiao Bai definitely couldn't represent Zhao Qingxue.

  "There are some things you don't understand now, and I can't tell you. Big sister won't tell you either." Xiaobai slowly let out a breath, "However, although big sister said she didn't want to have any further entanglements with you, in fact, you have big sister's private phone number. This time when she received your call, she immediately sent us over, which means big sister isn't completely indifferent to you."

  "Xiao Bai, I think you've misunderstood. To me, whether she cares about me or not isn't important." Ning Fan shook his head and said lightly: "I didn't plan on continuing to have any entanglements with her either."

  "I understand." Xiaobai nodded, "In fact, this is also the place where I admire you the most. If it were another man, he would definitely not let go of such an opportunity."

  Pausing for a moment, Xiaobai continued: "I don't want to change your current thoughts, but Ningfang, I look forward to the day when you and Big Sister reunite."

  "If there's nothing else, I'll head back first, a friend is still waiting for me at home." Ning Fan said slowly.

  "Alright, Ning Fan, I'll tell you one last thing in private. Don't be afraid of Chen Zi Xuan. There are some things that we and Big Sister can't do, but you don't need to have any scruples. Most importantly, remember that you're the man with the most special relationship with Big Sister, while Chen Zi Xuan is actually nothing."

  Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat. Was Xiao Bai hinting at the relationship between him and Zhao Qingxue? And was Xiao Bai also telling him that he was Zhao Qingxue's only man?

  "I remember what you said." Ning Fan took a slight breath and then turned around to walk towards the villa area.

  Ning Fan didn't disbelieve Xiao Bai's words, he just really didn't want to continue having entanglements with Zhao Qingxue, and even less did he want to rely on a woman to become rich.

  Back home, Ning Fan found that Tang Shaoyong had already sobered up.

  "Brother, sorry about this. A friend just called and asked me to go over and hang out. Why don't you come with us?" Tang Shaohuang said.

  "It's okay, Daxiong, you guys go ahead, I still have something to take care of and I want to rest for a bit." Ning Fang said with a gentle decline.

  "Alright, you should take a rest." Tang Shaohuang nodded, "Then the two of us will leave first. When you're free, give me a call and we'll drink together again, just the two brothers."

  "Alright." Ning Fan nodded and then followed Yezi to send Tang Shaohuang out of the villa. After the two drove away, Ning Fan returned to the house again.

  "Uncle, you rest, I'll go collect the dishes." Yezi volunteered again.

  "Leaf, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while." Ning Fan headed upstairs.

  Ning Fan arrived at the bedroom, closed the door, and then opened the file bag given to him by Xiao Bai. As the saying goes, "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles." His greatest enemy now was Chen Zi Xuan, and he had to learn more about Chen Zi Xuan.

  In the past, Ning Fan was just an ordinary criminal police officer, while Chen Zixuan was the mayor's son. There was almost no intersection between the two, just like Ning Fan's understanding of Zhao Qingxue was very limited before, his understanding of Chen Zixuan was even more pitifully small.

  The information is very detailed, with text, photos and videos, but it's mainly about the past five years. Ning Fan spent the entire afternoon looking at these materials, and he finally understood what Xiao Bai said that morning. From this information, Chen Zixuan can indeed be called a moral model.

  According to the data, in the past five years, Chen Zixuan has devoted almost all his energy to charity. He initiated a charitable foundation, specifically to rescue vulnerable groups, out-of-school children, poor students, impoverished patients, and lonely elderly people, etc. Anyone who needs help, he will do his best to assist, and more importantly, he does all this in person, not just lending his name.

  In his private life, Chen Zixuan is even more self-disciplined. Despite being able to attract countless beauties with his conditions, he maintains a reasonable distance from every opposite sex. Although he has the title of the first young master of Qingyun City, he rarely hangs out with the official second-generation and rich second-generation of Qingyun City in daily life. Places like nightclubs are even more off-limits to Chen Zixuan.

  All in all, Chen Zixuan is like a perfect man, so perfect that it's almost abnormal.

  Ning Fan thought of what Xiao Bai had said, Chen Zi Xuan was too fake, and he also believed in Xiao Bai's judgment. Chen Zi Xuan's behavior was absolutely pretended.

  It's clear that Chen Zixuan knew he couldn't outdo Zhao Qingshuang no matter how much money he made, so he simply didn't go down that road. His perfect performance over the past five years was undoubtedly for Zhao Qingshuang to see. Of course, over the past five years, Chen Zixuan was also making an investment. As long as he could marry Zhao Qingshuang, he would get a huge return.

  Putting down the materials, Ning Fan's face turned somewhat solemn. In order to marry Zhao Qingxue smoothly, Chen Zixuan had been working hard for the past five years.

  For five years, Zhao Qingxue seemed to have been observing Chen Zixuan, and the two had always maintained a distance between them. In these five years, Chen Zixuan didn't dare touch any woman either. For a normal young man, this was absolutely not an easy thing to do, especially for someone like Chen Zixuan who could have beautiful women throwing themselves at him at any time - it required unimaginable willpower!

  Five years of endurance, five years of waiting, five years of painstaking efforts, just as success is within sight, but suddenly it's all ruined by someone else. This kind of massive blow is enough to drive a person crazy!

  Ning Fan can imagine that Chen Zixuan's hatred for him is absolutely unforgettable and cannot be erased, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the two.

  "It's time to take the initiative and strike." Ning Fan secretly decided, he had already vaguely understood that between him and Chen Zixuan, it would be a state of not dying or resting, for his own safety, and even more so for the safety of others around him, he must find a way to deal with Chen Zixuan.

  But how to get started?

  Although the materials he had just read gave him a better understanding of Chen Zixuan, those materials were mostly Chen Zixuan's disguise and didn't have much value.

  "Bai Min." Ning Fan's mind flashed with the name of the murdered girl, and he was almost certain that Mo Feng had also been hired by Chen Zi Xuan. Mo Feng happened to be used as the killer who killed Bai Min, and then Mo Feng was indirectly silenced. There were still people in the city who pressured the police station to close the case, all of which pointed to Chen Zi Xuan, and it was very likely that Chen Zi Xuan was the real killer.

  Ning Fan suddenly remembered something and hastily opened his computer to check his email, where he found a new message from Dr. Su with the forensic record attached.

  After carefully reviewing the forensic records, Ning Fan found that as Dr. Su had told him before, there were almost no useful clues, but he still made some discoveries.

  There was a phone number left by Dr. Su in the email, and Ning Fan quickly dialed her number.

  "Hello, Dr. Su, I'm Ning Fan. I received the forensic record about Bai Min that you sent me." As soon as the call connected, Ning Fan got straight to the point. "Thanks for your help, but I have another question I'd like to ask."

  "What's wrong?" Dr. Su's voice came from over there.

  "Are all the bite wounds on the deceased's body taken out?" Ning Fan asked with a hint of urgency.

  "That should all be the killer's bite, but it was destroyed and basically impossible to get a complete dental impression." Dr. Su replied: "I recorded them all, but since the case is closed, I didn't bother with it."

  "There are over a hundred bite marks, and they should all be from the same person. I wonder, is it possible to use these incomplete bite marks to get a complete one?" Ning Fan asked somewhat uncertainly.

  "That forensic dentist over there seemed to have fallen silent for a moment before responding, 'Theoretically it's still possible, but here, basically nobody has dental records, so unless we have a clear suspect, even if we get a complete set of teeth impressions, they won't be of much significance.'"

  "Doctor Su, can you help me try?" Ning Fan asked.

  "Alright, I'll try, but it will take some time. If there's any news, I'll call you." Dr. Su agreed readily enough, but then hung up the phone immediately after saying so.

  Ning Fan let out a gentle sigh of relief, now there was finally some progress. If Dr. Su's side could get an effective bite mark record, perhaps the true culprit's identity could be confirmed.

  Look at the time, it's already half past five. Ning Fan got up to prepare dinner downstairs, otherwise he would have to eat Ye Zi's instant noodles again tonight.

  Downstairs, but found Ye Zi was nestled on the sofa using her mobile phone to chat with someone. Ning Fan casually asked: "Ye Zi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

  "Uncle, I'm easy to feed, whatever you give me, I'll eat." Yezi raised her head and smiled.

  Ning Fan didn't say anything else and directly walked towards the kitchen. Just as he hadn't reached the kitchen, his phone rang again.

  He picked up his mobile phone and took a look, this time the call was not from a stranger, but from his classmate, He Wei.

  "Ning Fan, are you free tonight?" As soon as the phone was answered, a familiar voice came from the other end, "Today is Hu Linlin's birthday, everyone has agreed to get together, can you come over?"

  "I'd better not go." Ning Fan said with a slight hesitation.

  "Ning Fan, you should come over when you're free, Hu Linlin really wants to see you. Besides, it's been a long time since we've had a drink together." He Wei advised on the phone.
