Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Acting, Of Course, Requires the Full Set

The Ning Family’s old mansion.

Ning Zhenyue sat there, having listened to Ning Mengyao’s retelling.

With his eyebrows tightly furrowed, he had not expected that his granddaughter could be the target of an assassination attempt.

And by a notoriously infamous group of assassins, no less.

This made him hesitate for a moment, but he eventually held back.

After all, if that matter were to be revealed,

it could likely cause a huge uproar.

Before being certain whether Lin Fan could handle it,

he decided it was better to keep this matter to himself.

"Grandpa, Lin Fan said he has a very important task tonight and needs your cooperation. You just need to take this,"

Ning Mengyao did not notice anything amiss with her grandfather.

Instead, she took out a small box.

In the box lay a black pill the size of a fingernail.

"I’m to cooperate with him?"

Ning Zhenyue questioned as he picked up the pill.

He sniffed it under his nose, but it didn’t smell off.

He just didn’t know what purpose this pill served for Lin Fan’s mission.

"Yes, he assured me that you’d only be unconscious for one night and guaranteed that you’d be full of vigor the next morning. As for other matters, just leave them to me to handle."

Ning Mengyao knew the cause and effect of the situation.

But she really did not want to mention the involvement of Ning Bingcai and Ning Changfeng.

After all, although they neither visited their grandfather

nor communicated with her,

they were still his biological children, and she didn’t want her grandfather to worry too much.

"As long as it helps Lin Fan, I’d willingly take poison, considering how much the Ning Family owes him."

Ning Zhenyue held Ning Mengyao’s hand and said, "You once said you wanted to give up, and I never advised you otherwise. But looking at this matter now, Lin Fan is actually better than you think, and a man willing to silently contribute without seeking glory is definitely the most reliable, so I really hope to see you two happily together."

"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ve already decided to be with Lin Fan for life. Not only Prince Zhen Nan, even King Yanluo won’t be able to take him away. We can talk more about this later; let’s get things done first."

Glancing at the time, it was almost the hour she had agreed upon with Lin Fan.

Ning Mengyao urged him to hurry.

"Okay, this news is a great joy to me; even if it means never waking up again, I accept it," he replied.

Upon hearing his granddaughter’s words, Ning Zhenyue revealed a relieved smile.

Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

Soon, a lazy drowsiness overcame him,

and Ning Zhenyue’s eyes darkened before he passed out.

"The hospital, quick, send an ambulance, my grandpa is in trouble..."

Seeing her grandfather with feeble breaths, Ning Mengyao quickly picked up her phone and dialed for help.

Everything had to proceed according to Lin Fan’s plan.

As for other details, Ning Mengyao chose not to inquire.

Trusting Lin Fan was enough for her.

...

"Your grandfather is hospitalized?"

Inside a villa ablaze with lights and bustling with revelry,

Ning Bingcai, reeking of alcohol, looked at Ning Changfeng.

"Yes, I got the news from the hospital. I also heard that Ning Mengyao is trying to have grandfather sign the documents for transferring his estate, so we better hurry to the hospital," he replied.

Ning Changfeng said worriedly.

Now, Ning Zhenyue still had a significant amount of assets in his hands.

Once he passed away without leaving a will.

Both he and his father would have the right to inherit.

"What use is that thing, we’re already so rich now, and Mr. Shanben has said that once the project is completed, I will be the first to experience that mysterious Array of eternal youth, from then on, we won’t be ordinary people anymore."

Ning Bingcai was now quite wealthy and boastful.

These days, he had been living a carefree life.

Indulgence in debauchery combined with those foreigners’ brainwashing.

Made him float through his days.

"Eternal youth shouldn’t benefit Ning Mengyao, have you forgotten her face that looks down on us men? So as long as I live, I will never let her be comfortable, I don’t care how much the old man’s inheritance is, as long as she doesn’t get it, that’s stronger than anything."

Ning Changfeng squinted his eyes and said, "And dad, don’t forget, grandpa still has a treasure, that thing can light up the whole room, golden and splendid, and it has always been locked in the basement, if we don’t go back, all of it will end up in that stinky woman’s hands."

The words of Ning Changfeng made Ning Bingcai pause.

Indeed, he had seen the old man fiddling with something at night.

The shimmering gold, he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Now that you mention it, then I definitely won’t let that stinkin’ girl succeed. Let’s go to the hospital now and just wait until your grandfather breathes his last, then we’ll confront her thoroughly."

Ning Bingcai rubbed his hands together, a gleeful expression on his face: "She used to be so arrogant, relying on the old man’s shares, throwing her weight around at the company, but now things are different, I’ve met so many important people, I can squash her easily, so I definitely won’t let her have an easy time."

Under the influence of jealousy, Ning Bingcai laughed greedily.

Just then, a man in his forties with a small mustache walked over.

"Brother Bingcai, our eldest senior brother is about to arrive, and he’s bringing a distinguished guest, are you ready?"

The visitor was named Yamamoto Ichiro.

It was through him that Ning Bingcai thought to compete for that construction site.

"Brother Shanben, I have prepared everything, but my old man is in the hospital, I need to visit him first, so I might not be able to accompany you guys later. Once that matter is dealt with, I’ll rush back immediately."

Ning Bingcai was much taller than Yamamoto Ichiro.

But he would bow when speaking.

That obsequiousness was just like a groveling sycophant.

"It’s just a hospitalization, is that more important than welcoming my senior brother and his guest? I’m warning you, today is the last round of selecting the holy woman, if you dare make any mistake, be careful, I won’t let you get away with it."

Yamamoto Ichiro’s face was stern.

Now, his speech wasn’t as polite as before.

"Mr. Shanben, if I may be honest, it seems my old man is about to pass away, and he has a collection which is quite luxurious, I was thinking of going back to fight for it, to present it to Mr. Shanben."

Ning Bingcai rubbed his hands nervously, speaking awkwardly.

"Oh... An antique? That’s not bad, then you better go back, the senior brother’s car has already arrived."

Upon hearing about treasures, Yamamoto Ichiro suddenly became enthusiastic

Watching as the convoy approached.

The spectacle of the evening was probably about to begin.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go now, aiming to find that treasure and not disappoint Mr. Shanben."

Ning Bingcai watched the long convoy in the distance.

The senior brother indeed had a grand presence.

Most of the men originally in the clubhouse also came out.

Lining up in two rows, waiting for the cars to stop.

Meanwhile, Ning Bingcai and Ning Changfeng had already slipped out through the back door.

But what they didn’t know, as the car door was pushed open.

Lin Fan was the first to step out of the car.
