Chapter 109: There is a bed here

  "Su Yun, don't misunderstand, I was unconscious at that time." Ning Fan couldn't help but explain.

  "You don't need to explain it to me." Su Yun smiled lightly.

  "But I don't want you to misunderstand." Ning Fan's expression was quite sincere. "The woman who answered the phone and I are just business partners."

  Whether it's Ye Rou or Wu Yi, Ning Fan now positions them as partners, he thinks this is also the most suitable position for them.

  "It was actually Xiaoyu who mentioned you to me, and now he really admires you as his brother-in-law." Su Yun smiled sweetly, "I'm also a bit surprised that you've become Zhao Qingxue's special representative."

  "This thing is a bit complicated." Ning Fan was at a loss for words for a moment.

  "No need to tell me, you've told me before, the value of friendship lies in trust." Su Yun smiled charmingly, "Regardless of whether I'm already your friend or not, but I trust you."

  Are you friends?

  Ning Fan's expression suddenly became a bit dazed, and he once again involuntarily thought of the fairy tale, his ex-girlfriend. This also made Ning Fan realize that in his subconscious mind, had he already begun to regard Su Yun as his girlfriend?

  Seeing Ning Fan looking a bit distracted, Su Yun smiled lightly: "Are you waiting for me to get off work? I need to continue working."

  "Ah, okay, you go ahead and do your thing, don't mind me." Ning Fan said as he came back to his senses.

  "There is a bed here, do you want to sleep for a while?" Su Yun smiled lightly again.

  "No need, I'll just stand. You go ahead." Ning Fan shook his head. Although he wasn't a first-timer in the morgue and didn't feel particularly uneasy or afraid here, having him sleep next to corpses still made him uncomfortable.

  Besides, he doesn't actually want to sleep now either.

  Su Yun didn't say anything else and soon threw herself back into work, while Ning Fan stood quietly at the door, watching her every move.

  Tonight, both Ning Fan and Su Yun were destined to be sleepless.

  But tonight, many people will still be awake.

  Municipal government building.

  The mayor's office was still lit up, and Meng Xingguo hadn't rested either. His eyes had a faint trace of bloodshot from lack of sleep since last night.

  Meng Xingguo originally thought he was very lucky, because if Chen Yu didn't have an accident, he would have to wait at least a few more years to become the mayor. Just after becoming the acting mayor, the Qingxue Group gave him a big gift, a billion-dollar investment, which could be written on his political achievements as a heavy stroke.

  Ke Mengxing soon found himself celebrating too early, as the investment from Qingxue Group was not that easy to obtain. And just last night, something even worse happened - the explosion put his position as acting mayor in jeopardy.

  Although the explosion was an accident, it caused such serious casualties that as mayor, he would inevitably have to take some responsibility. If there wasn't a "acting" in front of his mayor title, he might not need to worry too much, but now he has to worry about this issue. If this matter cannot be handled properly, he will probably not be able to get rid of that "acting".

  The knock at the door broke Meng Xingguo's train of thought. He lifted his head and looked towards the entrance: "Come in."

  The door was pushed open and a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight, it was Meng Hao. He walked in and immediately closed the door again.

  "What are you doing here so late?" Meng Xingguo slightly furrowed his brow, and then suddenly realized something was off. "What's wrong with your face? It looks like it's swollen or something."

  "It was a slap in the face." Meng Hao said this with considerable calmness, as if it wasn't him who had been slapped.

  "What?" Meng Xing's tone changed, "Who did it?"

  "It's nothing." Meng Hao slowly spat out two words.

  "What's going on?" Meng Xingguo's expression changed slightly, "How did you end up in conflict with him?"

  "Dad, I came here so late just to tell you something. Ning Fan and I didn't start having conflicts tonight." Meng Hao said slowly.

  "Tell me everything!" Meng Xingguo said in a deep voice.

  Meng Hao didn't hide anything, he told Meng Xingguo everything from the first time he met Ning Fan to his attempts to recruit Ning Fan being rejected, and then getting in touch with Zhu Mingjie, discovering that Zhu Mingjie also had a grudge against Ning Fan, and even instigating Song Wenbin to harass Ning Fan's family members, including what happened tonight at the hospital.

  Meng Xingguo remained silent, his face growing increasingly unsightly. All along, he had vaguely known that his son had done some things in his name, but he had turned a blind eye, pretending not to know. Now, he finally realized that his indulgence of his son might have led to irreparable consequences!

  "Is that all?" Meng Xingguo asked slowly after Meng Hao had finished speaking.

  "That's all," Meng Hao replied.

  "There's something you haven't made clear yet," Meng Xingguo asked in a deep voice, "what did Ning Fan mean by saying that Qingxue Group won't discuss cooperation with me? Can he represent Qingxue Group?"

  "Dad, haven't you heard the news yet?" Meng Hao was somewhat surprised. "Ning Fan is now Zhao Qingxue's special representative, fully in charge of all matters at the Qingyun branch company, and he has already directly fired Song Wenbin from the company."

  "Are you sure?" Meng Xingguo's expression changed again.

  "Absolutely certain." Meng Hao nodded firmly.

  Meng Xingguo fell silent, his face as dark as a cloud, exceptionally gloomy. At the time of the explosion accident, he was already at his wit's end, and now he had received such bad news, it was simply a nightmare for him!

  Song Wenbin's attitude was initially dissatisfying to Meng Xingguo, so he decided to change his strategy and pretend to let go, not contacting Qingxue Group before Monday, but unexpectedly missed a major event of Qingxue Group.

  "Dad, Ning Fan said he'll be keeping an eye on me all the time, I think he's serious." Meng Hao added at this point.

  "If you haven't done anything shameful, what are you afraid of?" Meng Xingguo suddenly raised his head and glared at Meng Hao, "Or perhaps, you really have been doing evil deeds?"

  "Dad, this isn't the time to dwell on what I did in the past." Meng Hao said with some annoyance. "We must counterattack, Ning Fan is clearly trying to get us killed, we must kill him first!"

  "Are you going to kill him?" Meng Xingguo looked at Meng Hao with a cold gaze, his voice also cold. "You'd better tell me, how are you going to kill him?"

  "Dad, this is a simple matter. Ning Fan beat someone up in the hospital in front of everyone, and my cousin's hands were both broken by him. There are witnesses and video evidence, and he has already been taken to the police station by the police. As long as we keep an eye on this matter, he will definitely go to jail! Once he goes to prison, who will still care about him?"

  "Do you really think this will succeed?" Meng Xingguo's eyes became even colder.

  "Dad, I've investigated Ning Fan carefully, although the rumors say he's the one who got rid of Chen Zixuan, but I think the rumors aren't that reliable." Meng Hao had obviously thought it through thoroughly. "His social network is also very simple, none of his family members or relatives have any special status, he knows Tang Shaohuang from the provincial capital's Tang family, but they've only known each other for a short time, so it's impossible for them to be close, and besides, the rumors about Ning Fan having an ambiguous relationship with the new Mayor Ye are also clearly false, since Ning Fan has been getting close to the police department's forensic expert Su Yun recently."

  As he spoke, a flicker of desire flashed in Meng Hao's eyes, and the beautiful mayor, who was as cold as ice but still had a stunning appearance that could drive any man crazy, had actually caught his attention. How could such an outstanding beauty possibly fall for someone like Ning Fang?

  "I remember telling you, Secretary Zhang also has a different attitude towards Ning Fan." Meng Xingguo said slowly.

  "Secretary Zhang probably just thanked Ning Fan for being a pawn to bring down Chen Yu. Meng Hao seemed somewhat skeptical, "I don't think Secretary Zhang would offend you for the sake of Ning Fan. In my opinion, the one who will really help Ning Fan is Shi Kun, he has always had a good relationship with Ning Fan, but he's just a head of the criminal police team. The new bureau chief will definitely give you face."

  "So you're saying that as long as I make an appearance, Ning Fan will definitely go to jail?" Meng Xingguo looked at Meng Hao coldly.

  "Dad, if I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have come to find you." Meng Hao seemed full of confidence.

  "Damn it!" Meng Xingguo suddenly roared, "Meng Hao, do you know? I don't know how many things you've done behind my back, and I don't know how many of them are illegal or criminal. But let me tell you what I absolutely cannot tolerate! What I absolutely cannot tolerate is not your evil deeds, but the fact that as my son, you're so stupid!"

  Meng Xingguo suddenly stood up, pointing at Meng Hao with his finger, almost touching his forehead, with an uncontrollable anger: "I always thought you were quite clever, but I didn't expect that you would be a complete idiot!"

  Meng Hao was scolded until he was stunned, staring blankly at Meng Xingguo who was furious, and for a moment forgot how to speak.

  After a long while, Meng Hao finally came back to his senses and asked with some lack of confidence: "Dad, was there something wrong with what I said just now?"

  "What's wrong? You say what's wrong?" Meng Xingguo was still fuming, "Use your pig brain to think, why would Ning Fan become Zhao Qingxue's special representative?"

  "Dad, I've already asked around about this. Ning Fan made a deal with Qingyun Pavilion and the Qingshuang Group, so Zhao Qingshuang gave Ning Fan...". When he got to this point, Meng Hao suddenly stopped, "No, it seems that Ning Fan directly made a deal with Zhao Qingshuang. How did they have any connection?"

  "Are you just now realizing there's a problem?" Meng Xingguo snorted, "Ning Fan is currently representing Zhao Qingxue, not the Qingxue Group. There's a distinction to be made here. Zhao Qingxue is telling everyone that Ning Fan is her personal representative. Moreover, do you think a mere Qīng Yún Temple could give Ning Fan such great power, handing over the entire Qīng Yún branch company and tens of billions of projects into his hands?"

  Taking a deep breath, Meng Xingguo calmed down slightly and sat back down: "Use your pig brain to think carefully, what is the relationship between Ning Fan and Zhao Qingxue?"
