Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Pretend or not, I don't care, as long as you're Ye Rou's boyfriend." Wu Yi said lightly: "Ye Rou is free this afternoon, go on a date with her."

  "I'm busy!" Ning Fang said irritably. What a joke, going on a date with that weirdo Ye Rou? He'd rather be single for the rest of his life!

  Leaving these words behind, Ning Fan strode away and came to Ye Zi's side.

  "Let's go, Yezi." Ning Fangke wouldn't really listen to Wu Yi's arrangement. He could barely accept pretending to be Ye Rou's boyfriend symbolically, but if he really had to go on a date with Ye Rou, he believed it would be a nightmare!

  Hmph!

  Ye Zi smiled triumphantly as she wrinkled her nose, Uncle and that woman actually only chatted for a few minutes, which made Ye Zi happy again.

  Having a big chest isn't everything! Being cute is the way to go, this is a world where being adorable sells!

  Without clothes, he didn't come over again. Ning Fan and Ye Zi left quickly. Under Ye Zi's lead, Ning Fan arrived at a repair shop called Fei Fan Car Repair.

  "Are you in the wrong place?" Ning Fan was somewhat puzzled, this was clearly a shop that repaired small cars, and had nothing to do with motorcycles at all.

  "Uncle, it's okay!" Ye Zi let go of Ning Fan's arm and ran into the bike repair shop, shouting loudly: "Lion King, come out for me!"

  The Lion King?

  Ning Fan shook his head, this nickname seemed a bit too strange.

  As the leaves rustled, a man wearing a vest emerged from under a car, his hands holding tools and his body covered in grease and other substances, looking rather dirty. With his thick beard, it was impossible to determine his exact age.

  "It's been a long time, Yezi." The man smiled and wiped his face with his hand, revealing a prominent lion tattoo on his arm.

  Perhaps this is where his nickname comes from.

  "I'm going to study hard and make progress every day, no more playing around!" Yezi hugged Ning Fan's arm again, "I came with Uncle to buy a motorcycle, hurry up and take me to see your best motorcycles."

  "Oh, follow me." The Lion King turned around and walked inside, after seven twists and turns down a flight of stairs, Ning Fan finally saw a motorcycle in the basement.

  "Harley?" Ning Fan exclaimed softly, the all-metal texture, streamlined and beautiful shape, the black body gleaming with a faint eerie light, in an instant, Ning Fan's mind was drawn into this motorcycle.

  Men who like motorcycles, there are few people who don't like Harley motorcycles when they see them, and Ning Fan is no exception. At this moment, Ning Fan knew that he was moved.

  "Is it just this one?" Yezi was still not satisfied.

  "Miss, this kind of car is not easy to deal with. I'm a small businessman, if I put in a few more and can't sell them, I'll go bankrupt." Lion King said with a bitter smile.

  "Uncle, do you like it?" Yezi blinked her beautiful eyes.

  "This car is probably very expensive, right?" Ning Fan indeed liked it, but he had inquired about the price of Harley before, and was afraid that it wasn't something he could afford at present.

  "Lion King, name a price!" Yezi asked immediately.

  "Leaves, since you brought it up, give me a whole number, 2 million yuan." The Lion King thought for a moment before quoting an astronomical price.

  Ning Fan couldn't help but shake his head. This price, although he could afford it, was not something he could bear right now. All of his assets were the 500,000 yuan in cash that he had borrowed from Li Feng in advance. Although 200,000 wasn't an amount he couldn't come up with, he couldn't spend that much money on a motorcycle.

  "Hey, Lion King, don't think that just because you're called a lion you can open your mouth wide, give me a 10% discount!" Yezi said with a fierce expression.

  A discount?

  The Lion King stumbled and almost fell to the ground. This young lady was too ruthless, did she want him to lose his pants as well?

  "Leaf, this is really not going to work. Don't believe me? Go check it out, this car really costs over 200,000 yuan, and I've even modified it a bit. If it weren't for you, I could sell it for 300,000 yuan." Lion King said with a sorrowful face.

  "Leaf, forget it, I'll just go buy a motorcycle then." Ning Fan pulled Leaf, "Don't make things difficult for them, this car is indeed quite expensive."

  "Uncle, it can't be counted, such a handsome car, the most suitable for you!" Ye Zi refused to leave, "Lion King, give me a lowest price, don't tell me how much the new car is worth, I know this is a used one, and I also know that this car must not have been bought by you, it's probably someone who pawned it to you as debt, I won't believe you would pay so much money for it!"

  "Then, 180,000?" The Lion King seemed a bit afraid of Ye Zi.

  "Eighty thousand, no less!" Ye Zi haggled without hesitation.

  The Lion King was so angry and amused at the same time, is there anyone who dares to be so reckless?

  "Alright, 160,000, can't go any lower." The Lion King lowered another 20,000.

  "Cut off six zeros, sixty thousand." Yezi chopped even more fiercely.

  "One hundred and fifty thousand!" The Lion King almost cried, is there such a big discount?

  "50,000!" Yezi continued her unreasonable and stubborn way of bargaining.

  The Lion King is going to collapse, can we still have a pleasant business talk?

  "Alright, Yehzi, I'll be honest with you, this car was sold to me by Gambler Seven for 60,000 yuan, then I spent over 30,000 yuan modifying it. I can sell it to you for 100,000 yuan, not a penny less." Lion King felt like crying but had no tears, and decided to get rid of this young lady as soon as possible.

  "Alright, deal!" Ye Zi agreed this time without hesitation.

  Turning her head to look at Ning Fan, Yezi giggled and said: "Uncle, give me the money, I saved you 100,000 yuan!"

  Saved 100,000 yuan?

  Ning Fan shook his head and smiled wryly, this was obviously going to cost him 100,000 yuan!

  For a moment, Ning Fan still hesitated. Although he quite liked the Harley and knew that buying it for 100,000 yuan was actually a good deal, spending so much money on a motorcycle made him feel a bit extravagant.

  "Uncle, I've worked so hard to help you save 100,000 yuan, you won't not buy it, will you?" Yezi immediately looked like she was about to cry.

  "Alright, I'll buy it." Seeing Ye Zi like this, Ning Fan gritted his teeth and decided to make the purchase. Who made him actually like it too?

  "Yes!" Yezi suddenly became excited, "Uncle, you're so cool! Come on, take me for a spin!"

  Before Ning Fan could speak, Ye Zi shouted at the Lion King again: "The matching equipment? Helmets, clothes, boots and so on, hurry up and give them to me. I'll go with my uncle first and take a lap around, and then we'll come back to get the money for you!"

  The Lion King quickly went to fetch two helmets, as for boots and whatnot, there were none. Yezi muttered a few complaints, but then urged Ning Fan to take her out for a spin.

  Ten minutes later, a Harley was driving on the streets of Qingyun City, attracting attention from many people. Ning Fan rode a Harley for the first time, and this Harley had been modified, so it took some time to get used to it, and naturally he didn't dare ride too fast.

  Ye Zi wrapped her arms around Ning Fang's waist, resting her head on his back. If she took off her helmet, she would definitely show a happy face.

  The Lion King only accepts cash, so Ning Fan first took Ye Zi on a tour around Qingyun City and withdrew some money to give to the Lion King. Then, at Ye Zi's request, he rode his Harley towards Mount Qingyun. As he became more familiar with the bike's performance, his speed also increased.

  "Uncle, I feel much better now!"

  "It feels so comfortable!"

  "That feels so good!"

  All the way, Ye Zi occasionally shouted a sentence loudly, looking particularly excited.

  Riding a Harley all the way into Qingyun Mountain, facing the fresh air and the fragrance of the woods, feeling the joy of the leaves, Ning Fang's mood also relaxed unknowingly.

  The whole afternoon, Ning Fan took Ye Zi to cruise around Qingyun Mountain. For him, this was also a rare leisure time. It wasn't until dusk that he began to head back into the city.

  Back in the city, Ning Fan first went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and made a sumptuous dinner for Ye Zi. After confirming that the bodyguard had resumed his position, Ning Fan rushed to the hospital, it was time to replace Ning Ke.

  "Little uncle, you don't have to stay here tonight, grandma asked me to keep her company and sleep with her." Ning Ke smiled and said: "I had the nurse add a bed for me, you can go back."

  Looking at Ning Ke who was already sitting on the new bed, then looking at his mother, Ning Fan nodded. He knew that the old lady missed her granddaughter and wanted Ning Ke to accompany her more. Now in the hospital at night, there was actually nothing to do, plus there were two bodyguards, so Ning Fan didn't need to worry either.

  After staying in the hospital for almost an hour, Ning Fan saw his mother starting to feel drowsy and stood up to bid farewell. Just as he walked out of the hospital and mounted his Harley, his phone suddenly rang.

  Look at the caller ID display, Ning Fan couldn't help but frown slightly, because the four words displayed on it were "Qí Pāi Yī Hào".

  Ning Fan thought for a moment and still answered the phone, but his tone was not very good: "What's up?"

  "Where are you? Come quickly!" On the phone, Ye Rou's voice was no longer cold, but filled with panic, "Nuyi, Nuyi has gotten into trouble, come and save her..."

  "Where is it?" Ning Fan's heart sank, and he hastily asked.

  "At the crossroads near the telecommunications bureau, hurry up and come quickly!" Ye Rou listened as if she was about to cry.

  Ning Fan quickly hung up the phone, and Harley roared to life, speeding away!

  The night wind was slightly cold, blowing a thread of coolness in Ning Fan's heart. He knew that Wu Yi's body and hands were unresponsive, and Wu Yi had unexpectedly encountered an accident, giving him a rather ominous premonition. And Ye Rou's panicked voice, which seemed to be on the verge of tears, was telling him that Wu Yi's situation was probably very serious.

  The closer they got to their destination, the more intense Ning Fan's unease became. After a few minutes, he could already see the intersection in the distance. At this moment, a burnt smell wafted through the air, and flames were visible within his line of sight. Painful wails and terrified screams also began to echo through the air at the same time.

  After more than ten seconds, Ning Fan finally arrived at the scene. As he looked around, his mood suddenly sank to the bottom. More than a dozen cars were overturned, and several cars were burned down to their skeletons. On the ground, there were people lying down, some of whom were charred beyond recognition, while others were screaming in agony. It was like a scene from a disaster movie!

  Tragic! This was the word Ning Fan could think of in an instant, and the next second, Ning Fan saw Ye Rou.

  Ye Ruo stood alone in front of a pile of shapeless scrap iron, her beautiful face filled with shock, despair and helplessness at this moment, but there was no sign of him anywhere!
