Chapter 210: Chapter 210: No Longer as Before_1

"Breaking news, a major incident in the provincial capital! Earlier today, Zhao Rongfu, the head of Zhao Enterprises, died in the Zhao Family Villa, reportedly killed by enemies seeking revenge... At the same time, Zhao Rongfu’s son, Zhao Xinghui, was also murdered, along with several of the Zhao Family’s patrons..."

"Regarding the identity of the enemy, the rest of the Zhao Family refuse to disclose any details. Currently, all relatives of the Zhao Family have urgently returned to the provincial capital to discuss how to divide the Zhao Family assets and to vie for the position of the new Family Head. The main contenders include Zhao Rongfu’s daughter Zhao Xingyan, Zhao Rongfu’s brother Zhao Ronggui, and Zhao Rongfu’s uncle Zhao Linsen, among others..."

"Moreover, with the Zhao Family leaderless, many other families in the provincial capital have started extending a ’helping hand’ to the Zhao Family by ’taking over’ some of their projects and companies..."

Pan Ting stared at the stream of messages popping up on her phone screen, dumbstruck, her face turning paler and her legs weaker as she read on.

"Daughter, what are you doing?" Ma Xiulian, puzzled, came over and, upon seeing the news that Zhao Xinghui and his father were dead and the Zhao Family was on the verge of collapse, let out a sharp scream.

"Ning Fan, you damned bastard! Was it you? Are you the murderer? I’m calling the police! I’m going to have you arrested and executed by firing squad! You despicable dog, you actually killed my good son-in-law!"

Ma Xiulian screamed hysterically, wishing she could tear Ning Fan to pieces and devour him.

Her daughter had finally climbed onto a high branch such as Zhao Xinghui, thinking they would never have to worry about sustenance again and only enjoy life’s pleasures.

But now, all of it was shattered in an instant!

"Tell me! Did you do this!" Ma Xiulian, beside herself with rage, clutched Ning Fan’s clothes tightly, her tone spiteful and fierce.

"Don’t touch me with your filthy hands."

Ning Fan snorted coldly, moved slightly, spiritual power flowed through his body, and an invisible force immediately repelled Ma Xiulian, who staggered back three steps and then plopped onto the ground.

Filled with horror, Ma Xiulian looked at Ning Fan and realized that the Ning Fan of today was no longer the one she once knew. If Ning Fan could really kill the Zhao father and son, wouldn’t it be easy for him to kill her and Pan Ting as well?

"Ning Fan, you you you, did you really do it? Did you really kill Zhao Xinghui and his father? How could you dare? That’s the Zhao Family we’re talking about!"

Pan Ting, coming out of her shock, had already turned all her anger towards Ning Fan into fear.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Ning Fan didn’t deny it and sneered in response.

"You you you..."

Pan Ting shivered in fear, the deaths of Wang Guanxi and Bao Longfei flashing through her mind. Her face turned deathly pale as she fearfully said to Ning Fan, "Don’t don’t don’t, don’t kill us, don’t act rashly..."

"Want me not to kill you two? First, answer me one question."

Ning Fan’s icy gaze swept over Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian, "Zhao Xinghui hired a hitman to kill me and nearly killed Ling’er. Were you two accomplices to all that he did?"

"No no no, it wasn’t us, we had no idea what Zhao Xinghui was up to, we didn’t know anything!"

Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian shook their heads frantically, panicking with denial.

"If you knew nothing, then how did you come to Tianling Pharmaceutical? Tell the truth! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?" Ning Fan said with a cold voice.

Murderous intent slowly rose from him.

This incident had taught him a severe lesson. Since he had killed Zhao Xinghui and Zhao Rongfu, he meant to leave no stone unturned. If Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian were also involved in this murder, he would not spare them!

The tangible killing intent made Pan Ting tremble all over, and she stammered, "Ning Fan, don’t—don’t mess around, we really didn’t know. Zhao Xinghui only told me he would come to Tianling Pharmaceutical to deal with you, but I had no idea how he would do it! I’ve never even heard of this ’hitman’ thing!"

"Please don’t kill us, we beg you, for old times’ sake, let us go, and we will never dare to provoke you again. Even with all the courage in the world, we wouldn’t dare to meddle with such matters, please Ning Fan..."

"Remember our past, for the sake of Tingting and me, please spare us. Right, there’s also Ma Li, you can’t kill us for her sake too! We’re begging you!"

Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing towards Ning Fan.

"Ling’er, Ling’er, please talk to your brother, ask him not to kill us. After all, you used to call me your sister-in-law! I’m begging you, Ling’er!"

Seeing no reaction from Ning Fan, Pan Ting changed tactics and knelt before Lin Xiaoling, pleading.

When faced with life and death, they no longer cared about anything else.

"Don’t mention the past. Hearing it just makes me and my brother sick," Lin Xiaoling said with disgust, then turned to Ning Fan, "Brother, let them go. They probably really didn’t know about Zhao Xinghui."

Ultimately, Lin Xiaoling was kind-hearted and soft, not wanting Ning Fan’s hands to be stained with blood again.

Ning Fan nodded and said to Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian, "Get lost."

"Yes, yes, we’re leaving right now," Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian quickly scrambled to their feet and ran off.

"Mr. Ning, should I have someone follow them, tie them up, stuff them in a sack and sink it in the river to feed the fish?"

From behind, Baldy Qiang asked for instructions.
