Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  Su Hai's voice on the phone was very loud, so loud that Gao Feng also heard it, which made Gao Feng slightly worried. In his opinion, taking away Tong Yan now is the safest option, after all, there are only three of them now, and they can't stop them at all.

  "Ning Fan, we can also call the police." Lu Qing suggested.

  "No, I have to teach them a lesson." Ning Fan shook his head. There were some things that Ning Fan could tolerate, but there were also some things that he couldn't tolerate. Just like now, if Jiang Tao had only tried to take advantage of Tong Yao after getting drunk at the tavern, Ning Fan would have just taken Tong Yao away and left it at that. But since the three of them had conspired to get Tong Yao drunk and take advantage of her, the nature of their actions was completely different.

  Ning Fan pushed the little girl in his arms towards Lu Qing and said, "Lu Qing, help me take care of her for now."

  "Good." Lu Qing naturally agreed and reached out to take Tong Yue.

  Just then, Tong Yao, who seemed to have fallen asleep, woke up again and struggled violently unconsciously: "No, I don't want to go with anyone else, I only go home with Ning Fan, I only go home with Ning Fan..."

  Tong Yao tightly hugged Ning Fang's waist and then muttered to herself: "Ning Fang, take me home, take me home..."

  In a low whisper, the nursery rhyme fell asleep again, while Lu Qing and Gao Feng looked at Ning Fan with an eerie expression. What's going on here?

  "Ning Fan, it seems like she only trusts you in her subconscious." Lu Qing couldn't help but say: "Even when she's drunk, she still instinctively remembers this matter."

  "I was about to ask you, bro, if you and she...," Gaofeng couldn't help but wonder, but he felt it wasn't quite right after asking halfway through, so he didn't continue.

  "There's really nothing between us." Ning Fan sighed, he didn't know how Tong Yao had become like this either, but now it seemed that all he could do was hold her first.

  Gao Feng couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself that Ning Fan was destined to be entangled with the Tongs. He had just broken up with Tong Hua, and now Tong Yan had appeared.

  Lu Qing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say it out loud. With a woman's intuition, Lu Qing could be certain that Tong Yao liked Ning Fan. A woman who was drunk to this extent still remembered a man and only wanted this man to send her home; if she didn't like him very much, she wouldn't have been like this.

  Lu Qing originally wanted to remind Ning Fan about this matter, but thinking that Ning Fan had just broken up with Tong Hua, it didn't seem quite suitable to bring it up. After all, the situation was a bit awkward, especially since Tong Yao happened to be Tong Hua's sister.

  "Let things be." Lu Qing finally decided not to mention it, hoping that Ning Fan would figure it out himself. Sometimes men can be a bit slow in this regard.

  A sudden rush of footsteps came at this time, Ning Fan looked up to see not far away, but found a group of security guards wearing uniforms, with about twenty people, and each person was holding a baton, looking fierce.

  "Over here!" Su Hai yelled, and those security guards immediately ran over, greeting Su Hai together: "Brother Hai!"

  Su Hai looked at Ning Fan with a cold smile: "Kid, I'll give you one last chance. Hand the person over to us immediately!"

  "I can also give you a last chance, go to the police station and surrender." Ning Fan said calmly.

  "Ungrateful, come at me!" Su Hai growled in anger, "All of you, attack together! Just don't hurt the woman in his arms!"

  This place is a square, and the light is actually quite bright. There are many people in the square, and not a few have noticed the commotion here. Su Haoming knows that there are many onlookers, but he still acts so brazenly, apparently having nothing to fear.

  Of course, although many people gathered to watch, after the security guards appeared, everyone retreated far away, no one wanted to be implicated, only Ning Fang and Gao Feng's group of people remained here, so in other people's eyes, it was a dozen young men and women facing off against more than twenty security guards.

  But the confrontation ended quickly, as more than 20 security guards rushed towards the dozen or so men and women. Countless people were worried for Ning Fang and his companions, thinking they would definitely be beaten badly.

  No one dares to come and stop it, and coming to stop it at this time is almost no different from sending oneself to death. However, several people secretly called the police, but everyone knows that by the time the police arrive, most of the fighting here will have already ended.

  "Ah!"

  "Uh!"

  "Grass!"

  Cries of agony and curses continued to ring out, the onlookers' guesses were not wrong, this fight would end soon. However, very quickly, everyone was left staring in shock, because the result was completely different from what they had expected.

  More than twenty security guards were already lying on the ground, and in front of them, Ning Fang was hugging Tong Yao, holding a baton in his hand, coldly issuing orders: "All of you, stay down, whoever dares to get up, I'll knock him down again!"

  So, more than 20 security guards lay on the ground, not daring to get up. At this moment, Su Hai was stunned, Jiang Tao was stunned, and Yun Qian was also stunned.

  "Who are you, really?" Su Hai stared at Ning Fan, his face filled with incredulity. How was this possible? Just a moment ago, the people he had brought were all knocked down?

  On the other side, Gao Feng and Lu Qing were also stunned. Earlier, Ning Fan said he was a master, and everyone thought it was a joke. But now, who still thinks that's a joke?

  "I'm going to faint, this is truly a master!" Gaofeng muttered to himself. You know, Ning Fan was still holding onto Tong Yao, and just now he had taken down so many people with just one hand!

  "Uh!"

  "Ah!"

  Two loud groans shocked everyone awake, and upon another look, Su Hai and Jiang Tao had also fallen to the ground. Ning Fan used his baton to knock them on the legs one by one before walking towards Yun Qian: "Are you going to fall down yourself or do you need my help?"

  "You, you dare to hit me? I, I am Yun Qian... Ah!" Yun Qian was somewhat flustered, but still refused to show weakness. However, before she could finish speaking, she let out a pained hum as Ning Fan kicked her to the ground.

  "Don't think I won't hit a woman!" Ning Fan snorted, although he still didn't know the details of what had happened, but he inferred that this woman was the biggest accomplice in plotting against Tong Yao!

  "You, you dare hit me? You're dead for sure!" Jiang Tao was exceptionally furious, "My dad is Jiang Dahe!"

  Ning Fan gave Jiang Tao a cold glance, then took out his phone and dialed Shi Kun's number.

  "Hey, Ning Fan? What's up so late?" The phone connected quickly, Shi Kun's tone was very pleasant. Lately, he had been on cloud nine and in his opinion, it was all thanks to Ning Fan. So naturally, Shi Kun's attitude towards Ning Fan had also become increasingly better.

  "Uncle Kun, do you still remember Tong's journalist in the provincial city?" Ning Fan asked.

  "Of course I remember, she interviewed me several times in the past few days. What's wrong?" Shi Kun vaguely felt something was off and asked, "Ning Fan, did anything happen to Tong journalist?"

  "Uncle Kun, I remember you told me a few days ago that the city hopes to let Tong journalists make positive propaganda for our city, but now it seems a bit difficult." Ning Fan sighed over the phone.

  "What's going on, Ning Fan? What happened?" Shi Kun felt even more uneasy.

  "Is the Minister of Propaganda of the Municipal Party Committee named Jiang Dahai?" Ning Fan finally started talking about the main issue.

  "Jiang Dahai?" Shi Kun was somewhat surprised, "He's just a deputy minister and has only been in office for a few days."

  "Uncle Kun, I'm currently at Minsheng Square. Jiang Dahe's son, Jiang Tao, and Yun Qian from the city TV station, along with someone named Su Hai, they conspired to get Tong Yao drunk. Then Jiang Tao planned to take her away while she was intoxicated, but fortunately, I happened to run into them." Ning Fan finally revealed the specific situation. "After I exposed their scheme, Su Hai actually brought over 20 security guards to kidnap..."

  "What?" Shi Kun's tone changed greatly, "Where is that young reporter now? I'll send someone over right away!"

  "Uncle Kun, don't worry, I've taken care of those security guards. But now the problem is, Uncle Kun, do you think Tong Yao will still have a good impression of our city after he wakes up?" Ning Fan asked back: "Especially when one is the son of the municipal propaganda department head and the other is a TV host, they conspired to harm Tong Yao. Do you think Tong Yao will still promote our city well later on?"

  "Ning Fan, I understand what you mean. In that case, I'll immediately dispatch the police to control Jiang Tao and his group. Additionally, I will report this matter to Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Committee right away. These past few days, Secretary Zhang has been emphasizing that we should take good care of Journalist Tong. Now that something like this has happened, Secretary Zhang will definitely handle it seriously." Shi Kun's tone was somewhat solemn, and he knew that Ning Fan's words were not just empty threats. If a female journalist from the provincial capital were to get into trouble here, once the news gets out, Qingyun City would likely be thrown into another big storm.

  For a tourist city like Qingyun, reputation is actually very important. Once the reputation is ruined, I'm afraid many tourists will be deterred. In this era of highly developed information, the influence of journalists is also significant, especially for well-known journalists like Tong Yao, whose influence should not be underestimated.

  Pausing for a moment, Shi Kun continued in an imploring tone: "Ning Fan, I need your help with this matter again. Can you please calm down Tong journalist and then I'll personally apologize to her later? What do you think?"

  "Uncle Kun, this isn't your fault either. As long as you can handle this matter well, I think Tong Yue shouldn't hold it against you. However, she's drunk now, and I'll have to wait until she wakes up to know the specifics." Ning Fan's tone was quite calm at this moment.

  "Alright, you take care of Tong first, I'll go report to Secretary Zhang." Shi Kun seemed very anxious and quickly hung up the phone.

  The sound of a police siren came, and two police cars arrived. Several policemen got out, obviously not sent by Shi Kun, but rushed over after receiving the alarm from the crowd.

  "Police comrades, quickly catch that madman! He not only robbed my friend but also beats people at sight!" Yun Qian suddenly shouted loudly, and finally showed her identity, "I am Yun Qian from the TV station, you must catch him!"

  The police chief was taken aback, looked at Yun Qian, and then turned to Ning Fan. As he took a closer look, he was shocked again - wasn't this the legendary Ning Fan?
