Chapter 361: Chapter 385, Ning Nan

Among these people, there was only one female; the rest were all males, with one man leading them in a notably conspicuous manner. He stood at the front, hands in his pockets, and whistled trivially as he saw someone being knocked away.

Besides him, the other few men were ordinary, but judging from their abilities, they should all be members of the Blood Dragon Guard.

The woman had dyed golden wavy hair and wore a black combat outfit, boasting an excellent figure and good looks. However, her face bore an evident air of arrogance and disdain for others.

Sun Yang was helped by Fang Yi to stabilize himself. Sun Yang’s face had turned somewhat red. Although he was also a member of the Dragon Team, he was merely a clerk, and the forceful bump had left him with immense pain in his chest.

Sun Yang clenched his fist covertly, angrily saying, "Can’t you watch where you’re going?"

A man laughed mockingly and retorted, "I was watching, but I just didn’t notice you. That must’ve hurt a lot. Should I apologize? Sorry, then."

This so-called apology only enraged the listener even more.

The man’s arrogant demeanor persisted, completely disregarding Sun Yang’s anger, with a mocking smile growing even thicker on his face.

"You!" Sun Yang wanted to charge forward but was held back by Fang Yi patting his shoulder.

Sun Yang looked puzzled at Fang Yi, only to see Fang Yi wearing a mocking smile and stepping forward.

Everyone inadvertently looked towards Fang Yi, while the leading man’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Fang Yi looked at the arrogant man, squinting slightly with a malevolent smile.

The man felt uncomfortable being stared at by Fang Yi, his expression fierce, and he snapped, "You seem unfamiliar. Are you new here? Daring to look at me like that, do you know the consequences are serious?"

Fang Yi smiled and said, "You came here to provoke trouble; you shouldn’t be unaware of who I am."

The expressions of several people changed simultaneously, but they quickly regained composure, trying to conceal it—however, Fang Yi still caught the shift. He wouldn’t believe there was no trickery involved.

Thus, the mocking smile at the corner of Fang Yi’s mouth grew thicker, and he appeared at ease, though his demeanor put an inexplicable pressure on the others.

Normally, they would have been furious by now, but why the smile?

For a moment, Fang Yi appeared profound, making them unable to fathom him.

The man earlier then glared again, "Kid, think you’re very arrogant, huh? Think you’re great because you have support? Let me tell you, in the Dragon Team, having backing is useless. Here, precedence and rules matter!"

Fang Yi smiled and asked, "I like following rules. Such as?"

The man gave a cold smile, swung his clenched fist in front of Fang Yi, clearly provoking him.

Fang Yi too raised his fist, swinging it slightly, "Like this?"

"Of course it’s—"

With a thud interrupting the man’s words, Fang Yi’s fist smashed into the man’s nose, and blood immediately spurted. The man staggered back.

Fang Yi still smiled and said, "So this is following rules? I understand now."

The expressions of the others changed simultaneously, none of them had expected Fang Yi to actually strike!

"Fang Yi! You’re courting death!" A sharp reprimand came from the woman in combat outfit.

"It seems that you do indeed know who I am," Fang Yi said, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

The woman in the combat outfit initially changed her expression, then scoffed coldly, "So what if we know? What waves can you make here? Let me tell you frankly, you’re not getting this honor award!"

Fang Yi sighed gently and said, "Why do you always like to look down on people?"

As these words were spoken, it seemed almost everyone was insulted, and the strong-willed woman couldn’t hold back anymore, clenched her fists, and was about to lash out.

"Wang Ting, stop!"

At that moment, the leading man suddenly shouted.

Wang Ting looked at the man, but, receiving his eye signal, she eventually retracted her fist. Nonetheless, the anger in her eyes did not diminish, and she glared at Fang Yi again, grinding her teeth as if she wanted to crush him to pieces.

Fang Yi simply smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned, but with a somewhat provocative air that made Wang Ting’s teeth itch with irritation.

Meanwhile, the leading man finally stepped forward, his expression cold, and said, "Remember my name, I’m Zhou Haotian."

"Too ugly, can’t remember it," Fang Yi responded lightly.

"Heh, do you really think I wouldn’t dare touch you?" Zhou Haotian sneered.

Fang Yi stood tall like a pine tree and said, "Then come and try."

Zhou Haotian slightly furrowed his brow, his expression instantly darkening, and he was about to make a move.

Just then...

Click, click, click~~~

The sound of high heels hitting the floor tiles rang out, crisp and rhythmic, disrupting the tense atmosphere between Fang Yi and Zhou Haotian. Zhou Haotian turned around, and when he saw the person coming, his brows furrowed again, visibly displeased.

The others following Zhou Haotian, upon seeing the newcomer, also showed bitter expressions, their faces filled with the word ’misfortune.’

At the same time, Fang Yi also looked up and upon seeing her, was instantly dazzled.

Her shoulder-length, ink-black hair, a slightly sharp-featured face with silver-framed glasses, dressed in a deep black office-lady suit, not overly curvaceous, somewhat frail looking, but standing upright, with porcelain-white legs showcased beneath the suit skirt, walking forcefully enough to create such loud clacks of her high heels.

In her hand, she held a document, and her presence exuded a strong aura as she approached.

She walked over, glanced at Zhou Haotian and the others including Wang Ting, and said indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Ting seemed rather defiant as she snapped, "What we do is none of your business!"

"As long as it’s in this building, it is my business," she replied calmly.

Before Wang Ting could retort again, Zhou Haotian pulled her back.

Zhou Haotian smiled slightly and said, "Manager Ning, we were just interacting with the newcomer and didn’t mean anything else."

She said calmly, "If it’s just interaction, then don’t be so aggressive. Zhou Haotian, you are a team leader in the Yinglong Guard, after all. Set a good example and don’t act rashly."

She was openly reprimanding Zhou Haotian, who looked somewhat displeased but still nodded with a smile in agreement. Then, he glared fiercely at Fang Yi, made a throat-slitting gesture, and led his group away.

After Zhou Haotian and his group had left, the place became much quieter. Sun Yang did not dare to say anything, slightly bowing his head, seemingly also intimidated by Manager Ning.

Without waiting for Fang Yi to speak, she extended her hand, her face expressionless, and said, "Hello, I’m Ning Nan."

"I’m—"

"Fang Yi."

Fang Yi scratched his head, finding this woman even colder than Shen Binnan since at least he could have some conversation with Shen Binnan, but this woman’s words could choke a person.

"Come with me; the merit award is already prepared," Ning Nan turned and walked away.

Fang Yi had no choice but to quickly follow with Sun Yang. On the way, Fang Yi deliberately slowed down and asked Sun Yang in a low voice who this Ning Nan woman was, exactly.
