Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Sorry, Officer Ning." Bai Congcong's voice was filled with apology and a hint of unbearable pain. "I wanted to stop him, but he was too powerful. He injured us and took someone from the trunk of your car."

  "Are you seriously injured?" Ning Fan's heart sank slightly, the assassin being rescued wasn't his biggest concern, what he was most worried about was that the assassination attempt seemed to have been foiled exactly at 4:38, and whether there were any other issues with this.

  Ning Fan subconsciously looked towards the operating room, and he couldn't help but start worrying again.

  "It's okay, I just broke a leg." Bai Congcong said it quite lightly.

  "I'll be right out." Ning Fan said and hung up the phone.

  "What's wrong?" Wu Yi asked at this time.

  "Chui ming bei jiu zou le, wo chu qu kan kan, ni zai zheli bang wo zhao kan yi xia, shou shu jie shu zhi qian, bie rang ren he ren jin qu." Ning Fan said in a low voice, then quickly ran outside.

  Ning Fan rushed to the hospital entrance at the fastest speed, only to find Bai Congcong and his two subordinates lying on the ground. He quickly went forward, checked their injuries, and found that Bai Congcong's two subordinates had only dislocated their hands and forearms, but Bai Congcong was the most seriously injured, with his left calf truly broken off.

  "It's okay, Officer Ning. I'll call someone to take me to the hospital." Bai Congcong's face was slightly pale, but a smile still lingered on his face. "You go ahead and attend to your business, I can handle things here myself."

  Ning Fan didn't say a word, he just placed his hand on Bai Congcong's fractured bone, and that strange breath quickly permeated through.

  "Your leg will be fine soon, don't tell anyone about this, and also, tell me more about the person who beat you guys up." Ning Fan said in a low voice. Bai Congcong was beaten and had his leg broken because of him, he couldn't just ignore it.

  Bai Cong didn't hide anything, he just didn't know much about the situation because he and his two subordinates were suddenly attacked, they didn't even see the opponent's appearance clearly. The opponent knocked them down in less than a minute and took the pursuer away from the trunk.

  Ning Fan didn't investigate further and quickly walked towards Bai Congcong's two subordinates, swiftly reconnecting their dislocated arms. Then he said to Bai Congcong: "You guys go back first, also help me ask about Qian Xinxin's fake kidnapping situation, I need to go to the hospital now."

  Before the words had fallen, Ning Fan quickly ran towards the hospital and soon disappeared from Bai Congcong's line of sight. Meanwhile, Bai Congcong stood up, feeling the left leg that seemed to have never been injured before, and for a moment, he was shocked beyond measure!

  Ning Fan quickly returned to the hospital corridor, striding swiftly with his long legs.

  "This is the video Ye Rou just found from the surveillance." Wu Yi handed his phone to Ning Fan and said softly, "Although the person in the video can't be seen clearly, I can roughly confirm that this person is one of Chui Meng's subordinates. It seems that when he rescued Chui Meng, Chui Meng was still unconscious, so I think Chui Meng shouldn't have had time to do anything else, and your mother should be fine."

  Ning Fan quickly glanced through the video, and the situation was roughly as Bai Congcong had said. He nodded and said in a low voice, "I hope so, for now we can only wait."

  "I just saw the person who was being chased to death on the road, and he's driving away from Qingyun City." Ye Rou also walked over, with a hint of excitement in her tone, "It looks like they're escaping!"

  "So it seems, being chased is really scary." A strange expression also flashed in Wu Yi's eyes.

  "He knows fear, and that's for the best."

  The three of them fell silent again, and time continued to pass. Unbeknownst to them, it was already 6 o'clock in the morning. Through the glass corridor of the hospital, Ning Fan saw a streak of dawn appearing on the horizon. At this moment, the operating room finally opened, and Professor Qian walked out from inside.

  "Professor Qian, how's my mother?" Ning Fan rushed over immediately, with Wu Yi and Ye Rou following closely behind. On the other hand, Ning Ping and others were slightly slower in their movements.

  "The operation was very successful, the patient will be fine." Professor Qian said in a slightly tired tone.

  "Great!" The first to utter this excited and agitated voice was surprisingly Ye Rou. Her usually beautiful and calm face now had a hint of red flush, making her look even more stunning.

  Looking at the dawn on the horizon, at this moment, Ye Rou also saw the real dawn!

  Ning Ping, Liu Ming and others all looked at Ye Rou with strange eyes. What was the relationship between this beautiful mayor and Ning Fang? It was so exciting, even if it was a daughter-in-law worrying about her mother-in-law, it wouldn't be like this!

  "Thank you, Professor Qian." Ning Fan finally felt at ease at this moment.

  "No, it's me who should thank you." Professor Qian said in a low voice, glancing at Qian Xinxin not far away.

  Professor Qian paused for a moment, then continued: "Mr. Ning, your mother will be sent to the ICU ward soon, and after a period of observation, she can be transferred to a general ward, but I believe your mother will recover quickly."

  "Alright, thank you." Ning Fan took out a business card with his phone number on it. "Professor Qian, you've been performing surgery for so long, I believe you need to rest. Also, you might want to take your daughter home, so I won't bother you too much for now. Later, when you have time, if you want to know more about your daughter's situation, you can give me a call."

  "Alright, let's talk again when we have time." Professor Qian took the card and nodded to the others before leaving with Qian Xinxin.

  "We're leaving first." Wu Yi said to Ning Fan and quickly followed Ye Rou to leave.

  Looking at Wu Yi's beautiful back, Ning Fan was momentarily stunned. Compared to Ye Rou, his impression of Wu Yi was indeed much better now.

  "Xiao Fan, which one of them is your girlfriend?" Ning Ping asked curiously as she walked up to Ning Fan's side.

  "Neither is." Ning Fan shook his head.

  None of them?

  Ning Ping was somewhat perplexed - why did it seem like both of them looked like Ning Fan's girlfriend?

  When Ning Fan walked out of the hospital again, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the morning.

  Mother Hong Yumei has been transferred to the ICU ward, and for now, Ning Ping is in charge of taking care of her at the hospital. Ning Fan comes to take over at night. Ning Gensheng is after all old, He Zhen has sent him back home.

  Although he didn't sleep all night, Ning Fang's spirit was quite good at this moment, and there was even a hint of excitement. After truly defeating the Heaven's Chosen One who had been pursuing him, Ning Fang had more confidence in himself. He believed that the Heaven's Chosen One would not be the last one to come and cause trouble for him, but he also believed that no matter how many Heaven's Chosen Ones came to cause trouble for him, he could defeat them all!

  Ning Fan left the hospital and didn't go back home, of course, he had already called Yezi before.

  Driving that Great Wall SUV which had been crashed a bit frighteningly, Ning Fan arrived at the training base of Datang Security. As soon as he stopped the car, Li Feng shouted: "Wow, Brother Fan, who did you crash into? Did you win?"

  "I didn't lose." Ning Fang replied casually.

  After a slight pause, Ning Fan spoke again: "Crazy, can you get in touch with your big brother for me? I'm a bit short on cash right now and I'd like to advance some salary. Also, the repair cost of this car will probably have to be deducted from my salary."

  "Brother Fang, there's no need to tell my big brother about such a small matter, I can handle it myself." Li Feng said with a casual expression, "Is one million enough? My big brother is afraid that I'll waste money, so he only gave me the permission to withdraw one million once."

  "No need for so much, besides, my salary may not even be one million in total." Ning Fan shook his head, "Just pay me 100,000 yuan in advance first."

  "Alright, but 100,000 is too little, Brother Fan. I'll have someone transfer 500,000 to your card first, and I'll keep the other 500,000 for myself to spend. I promised a girl I'd buy her a car today." Li Feng's mouth curled up into a sly smile. "By the way, Brother Fan, are you also trying to pick up girls? But that Ice Queen should be rich, how can she spend your money?"

  "It has nothing to do with her." Ning Fan was somewhat speechless. He didn't mention his mother's illness, after all, that was a private matter.

  "Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. What if you let that witch come and beat me up? I'd be in trouble." Li Feng chuckled, "As for the salary, Brother Fan, your total salary will definitely not just be one million at that time. By the way, have they undergone further training yet?"

  "Alright, that's enough." Ning Fang walked over to the crowd that was currently training.

  "Good morning, Instructor!" The ten people stopped and greeted Ning Fang together.

  "From today on, you will start the next step of practice, which is pair practice." Ning Fang went straight to the point, "I will assign you according to your individual strengths. Two people with similar strength will practice together."

  "Yes, instructor." The ten replied in unison.

  "There's one thing I hope you all understand, martial arts require diligent practice, but also can't be separated from innate talent. Those with high innate talent and diligence will ultimately have stronger abilities." Ning Fang swept his gaze across the crowd, speaking slowly: "Amongst you all, there will eventually be a gap that opens up, some people will become stronger, while others will be weaker. I hope those with slightly lower innate talent won't become disheartened because of this. Remember one thing, your goal isn't actually other people, your goal is always yourself. As long as you can keep surpassing yourselves, then you aren't failures!"

  "Yes, instructor!" The ten people responded in unison again, their voices louder this time.

  "Alright, now you all move at your fastest speed in the Tai Chi diagram. After ten minutes, I will arrange your training partners." Ning Fan gave the order.

  Ten people naturally followed suit and quickly set off again at a rapid pace.

  This morning, Ning Fan stayed at the training base all along, observing everyone's training situation from time to time and making corrections until noon when he received a call from Zhang Zhengguo.

  "Sorry, Secretary Zhang, I haven't had a chance to thank you for last night yet." Ning Fan said awkwardly as soon as the call was answered.

  "Haha, Xiao Ning, we're all family here, no need to be polite. I was actually going to thank you, this time you've really helped the ordinary people of Qingyun City a lot!" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Zhengguo's hearty laughter came through.

  Ning Fan was somewhat perplexed: "Secretary Zhang, I don't think I've done anything?"
