Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Waiting for the Sun to Rise Again

"So we’re setting off now?"

Sitting in the RV, Ning Mengyao reluctantly looked at Lin Fan.

She had thought that once their sisters had left, they could stay together forever.

At the very least, they would have spent a few consecutive days together.

But she couldn’t understand why Lin Fan was rushing her to go on a trip.

"Yes, pay close attention to safety on the road. You’ve finally got a holiday, so relax and enjoy it."

How could Lin Fan not see the reluctance in Ning Mengyao’s eyes?

It was just that with the Blood Moon approaching, he had to be selfish for once.

Because nobody knew what might happen.

"Mmm, you also take care of yourself and don’t overwork."

Ning Mengyao agreed, and then she stepped on the gas pedal.

The RV slowly entered the alley and disappeared into the flow of traffic.

Lin Fan watched the disappearing vehicle and revealed a slight smile.

With no further worries behind him, he also needed to hurry back and prepare for the final battle.

In the RV, Ning Mengyao gripped the steering wheel, her brow furrowing from time to time.

"Granddaughter, are you worrying about Lin Fan?"

Ning Zhenyue could see that Ning Mengyao was weighed down with concerns.

"It just feels odd to me that he insisted on us going on a trip. I don’t understand why."

Ning Mengyao sighed, unable to guess his reasons yet unable to let go of her concern.

"Perhaps something is about to happen in Jiangning, so he is worried about your safety, which is why he wanted you to leave."

Ning Zhenyue could naturally see the resolution in Lin Fan’s eyes.

"Doesn’t that mean he has to face the predicament alone?"

The words of her grandfather caused Ning Mengyao’s expression to change involuntarily.

If there really was danger, and he had asked her to leave, what would he do by himself?

"Meng Yao, you should be able to see that Lin Fan is now at the mercy of circumstances far beyond his control. Sometimes, the greater one’s ability, the more they must shoulder. Since even a person like Prince Zhen Nan can become a guest of honor for him, the position he occupies probably doesn’t allow for choice anymore. It may be a helpless situation, but it’s also a responsibility he should bear."

Ning Zhenyue sighed.

The identity of this grandson-in-law had long exceeded his imagination.

After all, even those big shots he couldn’t hope to associate with were bowing and scraping before Lin Fan.

That background and those abilities were beyond his comprehension.

"Oh..."

Her grandfather’s words left Ning Mengyao with no choice but to silently agree.

This point was no longer a secret but had become a common understanding.

Everyone knew of Lin Fan’s incomparable strength.

Yet her anxiety at being unable to help in any way, left her with only silence.

"Silly girl, if there’s something you want to do, just go ahead and do it. With Ms. Li to take care of me, you need not worry. Just drop us off at Lin City Villa, and you can come back."

Ning Zhenyue had already seen through Ning Mengyao’s thoughts.

Knowing Lin Fan was in danger, she really didn’t want to leave.

"This... Is that alright?"

Ning Mengyao hesitated, looking towards her grandfather.

"What’s wrong with that? Perhaps you can’t help much, but companionship is sometimes more important than assistance. Even the strongest person is a lonely individual, and the warmth you can offer might be something no one else can."

Ning Zhenyue looked at his granddaughter with a gentle smile.

She probably didn’t even realize how important she was in Lin Fan’s heart.

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Encouraged by her grandfather, Ning Mengyao was suddenly overjoyed.

The hand on the steering wheel grew firmer.

...

In the makeshift command center set up with camouflage tents,

The Three Emperors were present.

Prince Zhen Nan, Xu Kun, had also arrived.

The security outside was extremely tight.

All sorts of modern weapons were camouflaged with protective coverings.

Everyone was already on standby, ready to launch the ultimate attack at any moment.

"Gentlemen, as the sun sets today, it will be the time for our confrontation with the Onmyoji. We have been preparing for this ’Jiazi’ plan for a long time, all for the battle tonight. We must protect our country’s gate with our bodies. Tonight, we must completely shatter this conspiracy that has lasted for years and let these little devils taste the might of our nation."

The Divine Emperor looked seriously at the dozens of people present.

At this moment, one hundred and eight assault squads had also been arranged outside the Formation.

However, the vital point of the entire formation was located in the western suburbs of Jiangning.

If the vital point couldn’t be broken, the Formation could not be nullified at all.

So, this was of paramount importance.

"We will certainly swear to protect our country to the death."

Prince Zhen Nan stood up.

Today, he represented the stance of the Rong Department.

Standing behind him, Xu Zhi Rou’s gaze was fixed on Lin Fan the entire time.

At this moment, he was not in the frontline ranks.

In other words, he wasn’t going to rush to the frontlines.

"Is the check to the north complete?"

The Dragon Emperor turned his head and looked at Zhao Jiaqi.

The intelligence Lin Fan had brought back earlier still had him worried.

"It has been checked, and we have cooperated with the local police force, using their surveillance system. We haven’t found any traces of Woguo people’s activities. Also, after investigating recent construction plans, they’re all just civilian residences. We found no trace of the Onmyoji. So I believe it’s probably a lie. Fortunately, we didn’t fall for it."

Zhao Jiaqi quickly briefed on the checks from the past two days.

Without any clues, she was convinced it was false.

"Lin Fan, what do you think?"

The Dragon Emperor nodded and then turned his attention to Lin Fan.

"I think it’s just the opposite. If the enemy intended to sow confusion, they wouldn’t leave us without a single clue. Therefore, the more I think about it, the more I feel this matter is true, but what specifically it is, I do not know."

Lin Fan furrowed his brow.

If Hino Hiroshi had gone to great lengths to divert our attention,

he would certainly have left something on that side.

But it was too clean, which instead felt suspicious.

"Whether there is a problem or not is no longer something we can consider now. After all, our manpower is limited. If something really does happen, then it’s up to you, our reserve force, to resolve it."

The Dragon Emperor’s brows were knitted.

Unable to find anything, there was no reason to disperse the forces.

They must destroy the most dangerous vital point in the shortest amount of time after the formation is established.

Only by doing this can they support the efforts to break through the remaining one hundred and eight Formations.

"Understood."

Lin Fan nodded.

He just hoped that all his worries were unfounded.

"Has the order for the play-acting operation been issued?"

The Divine Emperor turned to Prince Zhen Nan.

Tonight’s actions were certain to attract much speculation; they had to take everything into account.

While ensuring security, they must avoid causing panic.

"It has been issued, and we’ve arranged local forces to guard every important pass. I’ve also contacted the local chamber of commerce, and there’s a special arrangement for three fireworks shows tonight on the lakeside in the east of the city. So, it is unlikely that people will notice anything here."

Prince Zhen Nan’s arrangements were enough to make the west of the city impenetrable.

With all plans in place, the Divine Emperor picked up his cup for a farewell drink.

"Good. Then, warriors, when the sun sets, it will be our charge for battle. I hope everyone will work together. When the sun rises again, let us toast to our joyous victory!"
