Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Staff Outside the Establishment of the External Department!

As the sun rose again.

A ray of sunlight shone on the dining table.

Ning Mengyao blinked her eyes open, still drowsy.

She looked at the chaotic dishes on the table.

Last night, she had unwittingly drunk too much.

"Hey, wake up."

Ning Mengyao hurriedly nudged Yang Linglong beside her.

After a while, she finally got up.

"Good morning!"

Yang Linglong stretched lazily and comfortably.

But the next second, she shivered with a start.

She instinctively wanted to bend over and lift the tablecloth, but Ning Mengyao stopped her with a hand.

After all, if they were caught red-handed, it would give the game away.

It wouldn’t be fun then.

"Phoenix... wake up."

Yang Linglong, getting the hint, quickly nudged Lu Feifei across from her.

This kind of thing had to be checked by her to be proper.

"I didn’t expect you two to be such heavy drinkers."

Lu Feifei, still slightly hungover, couldn’t help but rub her head after getting up.

Seeing all the empty bottles on the table, she couldn’t remember how much she had drunk.

"It’s not fair, two against one, we took advantage," Ning Mengyao said, while giving Lu Feifei a meaningful look.

Lu Feifei, who had just come to her senses, quickly and quietly lifted the tablecloth.

"He’s gone!"

Seeing the empty space under the dining table, Lu Feifei was also startled.

Last night, after she had passed out, she really couldn’t remember anything.

She didn’t even know when Lin Fan had left.

"Could he be upstairs?"

Ning Mengyao discreetly pointed upstairs.

"Let’s go have a look."

Lu Feifei nodded.

The three of them then got up.

After rubbing their somewhat numb legs.

The three women stepped up the stairs in their high heels.

However, whether it was the guest room or the master bedroom, there was no sign of Lin Fan.

"He probably saw that we didn’t separate and sneaked away," Yang Linglong walked back down to the first floor and plopped onto the sofa.

Although they didn’t corner him for the night.

At least he didn’t succeed, and that could be considered a decent victory.

"This time, he must’ve had a taste of his own medicine, right?"

Ning Mengyao also sat on the sofa, wearing a mischievous smile.

Recalling how deflated he had looked last night, she felt particularly happy.

"What do we do next? What if he doesn’t look for us and goes after someone else? Wouldn’t we be at a huge disadvantage?"

Lu Feifei rested her chin in her hands, sounding rather worried.

This place, Jiangning, didn’t have much else, but there were plenty of women.

Plus, with the money Lin Fan had, how could there be a lack of women to share his bed?

Not to mention one woman, even if he changed partners daily for a year, it wouldn’t be a problem.

"He’d better not dare. If he’s that disgusting, I’ll divorce him right now!"

Ning Mengyao immediately pouted.

She could tolerate Lin Fan, that love-crazed playboy, flirting around.

After all, his taste wasn’t bad.

Whether it was Yang Linglong or Lu Feifei, or even Qi Qi and the others.

Whether in terms of family background, education or personal qualities.

Each was exceptional.

"It’s not about daring or not. You know as well as I do, Lin Fan is a very attractive man. Even if he can hold back, what if someone throws themselves at him? Keeping him hanging like this isn’t the way to go."

Lu Feifei fiddled with her fingers.

Deep down, she truly desired some alone time with Lin Fan.

The alliance had already agreed, and with her status as Ning Mengyao’s official wife, she felt compelled to cooperate.

"What you want is control, it isn’t about letting him pick concubines at will, so it’s fine if we just take the edge off him. How about we continue pretending to be unaware, but we can’t let him be too unrestrained; teach him a lesson occasionally. I’m afraid if we push him too hard, he might retaliate, and that would be counterproductive."

Yang Linglong shared the same opinion.

After all, always hanging Lin Fan out to dry—who knew what he might end up doing.

Plus, Zhao Jiaqi and Xu Zhi Rou were not yet considered part of the alliance.

If Lin Fan were to lose control at this point,

It would mean that things could spiral beyond their control.

"So, what should we do now?"

Ning Mengyao felt a bit panicked after being told this by the two women.

She initially just wanted revenge and had no desire for another contest for favor.

"Divide it equally—he can’t just sleep with whomever he wants; let’s just do the opposite."

Lu Feifei revealed a wicked smile.

This way, it would not only allow Ning Mengyao to vent her anger,

But also avoid pushing Lin Fan too hard.

"Exactly, let’s do that. If he wants to come home, I’ll make sure he can’t. After all, we’re the ones who set the order, not him choosing us—we choose him."

Ning Mengyao excitedly slapped her thigh, exclaiming.

This plan was indeed killing two birds with one stone.

"I agree!"

"I support!"

Yang Linglong and Lu Feifei immediately raised their hands in agreement.

The next step was to decide how to go about it in detail.

...

"Achoo!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but sneeze.

Rubbing his nose, he shook his head.

"What’s wrong, caught a cold?"

Xu Zhi Rou, in her crisp military uniform, curiously looked at Lin Fan.

"It’s nothing, just didn’t sleep well last night," he replied, waving his hand.

Hidden under the table, he had suffered immensely the previous night.

Watching three pairs of beautiful legs move before his eyes,

Yet not daring to stir.

It wasn’t until dawn, when he was sure the three women were sound asleep, that he stealthily escaped from under the table.

Looking at them lying there immobile, he could not express how hard it was for him.

Leaving the villa on tiptoes, he could only head home first to try and catch up on some sleep.

But not long after, Xu Zhi Rou’s call woke him up.

"What’s the situation now?" Lin Fan asked curiously, looking at the mountains before him.

Over the phone, Xu Zhi Rou had only mentioned that they were under attack by an Onmyoji.

The special ops team and the Dragon Tooth Team were currently collaborating in the pursuit.

"Early this morning, a wanted Onmyoji, suddenly appeared in the Qingshan Linnan area. As a fugitive wanted by sixteen nations, Dragon Tooth launched a capture operation. However, the enemy used summoning skills in the city, causing disturbances and taking advantage of the chaos to flee into these mountains. We’ve contacted the head of the Xuan Division, but they said they need your support," Xu Zhi Rou explained.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but rub his nose upon hearing her words.

The Xuan Division of Dragon Tooth was an unofficial department.

Its head was naturally his uncle, Mr. Zhang, the Heavenly Master.

They specialized in combating evil skills but now sought his support,

Which made him smile bitterly.

"It seems I’m still an external member of this unofficial department. This uncle sure knows how to find things for me to do."

"Right now, we’re only equipped with regular martial artists. Facing a powerful Onmyoji, they could be at a disadvantage. With you here, I’ll feel much more at ease. Besides, when can Jiaqi return to her post?" Xu Zhi Rou asked, her days lately filled with unease.

With Zhao Jiaqi previously in charge, Xu Zhi Rou felt much more reassured.

After all, she was the successor to the Pan Mountain Taoist.

Even if not terribly strong, when it came to dealing with these evil skills, she had her unique methods.

"She might need a bit more time, but don’t worry. Now that I’m here, he won’t get away," Lin Fan said, furrowing his brows as he eyed the mountains.

Something about the situation seemed strange to him.

Such fugitives wouldn’t usually be easily detected by surveillance.

So, was it truly just an oversight on his part?
