Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Tonight, No One Goes Home

"On behalf of the Ning Group, I apologize for the accidental public disclosure of this scientific research result and am willing to bear all related costs to ensure continued treatment for the patients affected by this incident,"

"Furthermore, I officially announce that the Ning Group has overcome the side effects produced by the sleep-inducing plant. In the future, we will formally enter the field of insomnia treatment. I believe it won’t be long before our institute can fundamentally cure insomnia caused by emotional anxiety and psychological ailments."

"And we guarantee there are absolutely no side effects. Our company has defined this as true plant therapy. Tonight, I will stay at the hospital and live stream the entire process to ensure that no remnants of the sedative pollen are left."

"Tomorrow, our company will also invite twenty individuals troubled by insomnia to join me as the first batch of insomnia experience officers. The whole process will also be live-streamed across the internet and subjected to public monitoring!"

At the foot of the Ning Group’s building, Ning Mengyao stood there.

A flood of impassioned speech had quieted the previously noisy entrance in an instant.

This top-trending internet incident was unexpectedly resolved in such a surprising manner.

Instantly, the term "sleep-inducing plant" topped the search charts.

"This is pure plant-based medicine."

"Finally, no need to take sleeping pills anymore."

"Insomnia experience officer, I want to participate!"

"I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time."

"If there really is such a plant, I’d book a hospital room for a month."

On the live stream, countless messages caught Ning Mengyao’s attention as she clenched her fists.

She hadn’t expected that the situation would transition from a hot topic to a marketing campaign so swiftly.

"We really did it... We succeeded!"

In excitement, Ning Mengyao jumped up and wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Fan’s neck.

Her legs coiled around his waist.

This unprecedented marketing event had attracted the attention of nearly half the population of Jiangning.

It had to be said that Lin Fan’s savvy moves were incredibly successful.

"Are you trying to kill your husband?"

Holding the excited Ning Mengyao, Lin Fan was somewhat beleaguered.

She was gripping his neck tightly.

After all, being smothered was not a happy prospect.

"Stop it."

Feeling her own overenthusiasm.

Ning Mengyao then blushed and jumped down.

Somehow, she had stopped minding their physical contact.

"This afternoon I’m going to the hospital to visit patients and healthcare workers, and tonight I’m taking the team there for the live stream. Tomorrow, I’ll gather people with insomnia to be sleep experience officers. I won’t be coming home for the next two days; take care of yourself."

"Okay, take care of yourself too."

Lin Fan smiled and rubbed his nose.

He had just been worrying.

How to excuse himself for going to Yang Linglong’s place tonight.

Now, he didn’t need one.

"After the great help you’ve given me in resolving this major crisis, should I not thank you somehow? Tell me, have you got any wish I can help fulfill?"

This turnaround battle was definitely a highlight.

Ning Mengyao leaned against the office desk, smiling at Lin Fan.

But her heart was incredibly uneasy.

She wondered what he might ask for.

"Actually, I do have one,"

Lin Fan squinted and thought for a moment.

"What is it? I’m warning you, don’t ask for too much."

Ning Mengyao anxiously asked, her face beating fast.

"Don’t drink with Yang Linglong anymore, at least don’t get drunk. And don’t stay the night at her place. That’s not too much, is it?"

Recalling this morning’s torment.

If his heart hadn’t been strong, it definitely would have suffered.

Lin Fan didn’t want a repeat of that.

"What? Is that your wish?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan in puzzlement.

She thought her ears had misheard.

"What else did you think it was?"

Lin Fan looked suspiciously at Ning Mengyao.

A sly smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps she had been prepared to agree to some physical activity.

"I thought it was... that knife."

Ning Mengyao’s face turned red instantly.

She hastily changed the subject, "You’re so dedicated to helping me because of that knife, right? Why aren’t you in a hurry to get it back?"

"What’s the rush? After all, I don’t care about these few months. I believe when the time comes, it will appear naturally."

Lin Fan watched Ning Mengyao with a smile.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

Although he had returned from abroad to search for his origins.

He had now discovered something more important.

"Alright, I agree to your terms, and I’ll treat you to a great meal at noon too."

Ning Mengyao was not satisfied with Lin Fan’s response.

If he had revealed his schemes or confessed his feelings at that moment.

She felt she would definitely have fallen for him.

That’s just how unpredictable a woman’s heart is, like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

All the anxiety mixed with a little happiness.

Was swept away in an instant.

"Why do I feel like you’re very disappointed?"

Watching Ning Mengyao walk away, Lin Fan curiously asked.

"It’s nothing, big straight man!"

Ning Mengyao didn’t look back, storming into the elevator angrily.

Watching her changeable mood, Lin Fan couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Women, indeed.

......

"Where do you want to eat?"

As he drove the car out of the basement, Lin Fan curiously asked.

"I’ve heard about a famous place that serves frog dishes. I’ll send you the location."

Ning Mengyao opened her phone in the passenger seat.

After confirming the location, the two of them drove toward the destination.

But as they turned onto a one-way street.

A motorcade suddenly appeared from the opposite direction, blocking Lin Fan’s car in the middle of the road.

"Beep beep beep..."

The entire motorcade was uniform in black and astonishingly, none had license plates displayed.

And the driver from the other side didn’t back up.

Instead, he kept honking his horn, urging Lin Fan to back up.

"People nowadays really can be unreasonable bullies."

Holding the steering wheel, Lin Fan watched as the driver got out of his car angrily.

This guy looked infuriated and even bore a military insignia.

"Hey, can’t you drive? Don’t you know you’re blocking the road?"

The man yelled arrogantly as he approached the car.

"Don’t you see this is a one-way street? You are driving in the wrong direction."

Lin Fan rolled down the window and replied coldly.

"What does it matter that it’s a one-way street? Can’t you see we are a motorcade? I’m warning you, make way right now, or do you want me to smash your damn car!"

The man’s arrogant attitude made Lin Fan’s gaze turn even colder.

As he opened the door and stood before the man, his eyes were cold and sharp, "Are all the people from the military department this arrogant? Fine then, here’s the car, let’s see you flip it?"

Such an intimidating aura made the man step back in fear.

But almost simultaneously, the doors of the vehicles behind him were pushed open.

Dozens of men, all bearing military insignias, quickly got out of their cars.

Their movements were uniform and orderly.

One could tell they were well-trained.

Each person emanated a fighting spirit as if they’d fought many battles.

"Kid, don’t stir up trouble for no reason!"

Seeing his comrades get out of the car, the driver immediately gathered courage.

Puffing out his chest, he stepped forward again, "Do you know who’s inside this car? I warn you, he’s not someone you can afford to provoke!"

"That’s really a laughable joke."

Lin Fan laughed coldly, "Listen well. In this world, there are only those who dare not provoke me, not those I do not dare to provoke!"
