Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Severing Ties_1

But since these people had already betrayed us, they naturally had to pay the price.

After discussing with Ma Li, Lin Xiaoling obtained Ning Fan’s approval and directly dismissed all those employees just now.

The seven or eight employees who had just chosen to question Pan Ting and stood by Lin Xiaoling and Ma Li became the core employees of the company.

The business of Tianling Biology was not complex and could even be described as singular.

Therefore, the number of employees needed was already quite small.

With Lin Xiaoling and Ma Li leading, and with the seven or eight core employees as the backbone, new employees could be quickly recruited to rebuild the entire company’s personnel system.

In a sense, this incident was not a bad thing but actually a good one.

From all the company’s employees, those who were truly loyal had been selected.

After all, the original employment philosophy of Ning Fan when he established Tianling Biology was: Loyalty comes first!

The seven or eight employees loyal to Lin Xiaoling and Ma Li thus entered the ranks of Tianling Biology’s key staff; in the future, they would be grateful for their choice today.

Because today’s choice was the most important one of their lives!

...

Two hours later, Baldy Qiang arrived with dozens of his men.

He drove the car at nearly two hundred miles per hour, fearing to keep Mr. Ning waiting for even a second.

"Mr. Ning! I’ve missed you so much!"

The moment he saw Ning Fan, Baldy Qiang excitedly rushed over to him.

Thud!

Seeing Baldy Qiang suddenly approaching Ning Fan, Huo Erba, acting on his instinct to protect his master, swiftly moved a step sideways to block him.

Baldy Qiang was also well-built, standing over one meter eighty. After practicing the body-cultivation technique Ning Fan taught him last time, he had, like a second growth spurt, grown to nearly one meter ninety, his muscles knotted all over his body, like a small giant.

However, in front of Huo Erba, who was over two meters tall and trained in the Vajra Technique, Baldy Qiang now seemed like a minor sorcerer before a great one.

"Mr. Ning... this... who is this..."

Baldy Qiang looked up at Huo Erba, who was two sizes larger than himself, and swallowed hard.

Lin Xiaoling, Shuang’er, and Ma Li also looked over curiously.

"This is my new follower, his name is Huo Erba," Ning Fan said indifferently, then waved his hand, "Huo Erba, he means no harm. Let him through."

Only then did Huo Erba step aside and make way.

Baldy Qiang approached Ning Fan and said with suppressed excitement, "Mr. Ning, whatever you need me to do, just command me!"

Upon learning that Huo Erba was Ning Fan’s new follower, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear, worried that his own position in Ning Fan’s heart could be replaced by this Huo Erba.

After all, Huo Erba looked much more formidable than him, Baldy Qiang!

Ning Fan gave Baldy Qiang a nod, then pointed at Pan Ting and her family, and said, "These people are as irksome as indelible ink; hence, I am assigning you a task: make them become beggars, homeless people, yet do not allow them to leave River City by half a step. Let them beg for a living in River City for their lifetimes! If they cannot beg, then let them perish on their own!"

"Yes, Mr. Ning! Mission guaranteed to be accomplished!"

Baldy Qiang answered loudly and began to grab the people with his men.

"No! Don’t! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! If you come closer, I’ll call the police!" Pan Ting cried out in terror.

"Don’t come closer! My daughter’s new boyfriend is the young master of the Hong Family of the Provincial City; if you dare touch me, the Hong Family will kill you all!" Ma Xiulian and Pan Dajiang retreated continually.

But Baldy Qiang was only loyal to Ning Fan; he did not care about any police, nor did he care about the Hong Family. He led a few of his men forward and, in no time, roughly pinned Pan Ting, Ma Xiulian, and Pan Dajiang to the ground, readying to tie them up with ropes.

Ma Fugui in the wheelchair turned pale with fear, not daring to breathe, clamping his mouth shut tightly, his head nearly buried in his chest, trembling like a scared quail.

"Ma Li! Ma Li, save us! After all, we are family!"

"Ma Li, quickly tell Mr. Ning to stop! I—I’m your aunt! Don’t you have any family affection in your heart?"

Pan Ting and Ma Xiulian pleaded in terror.

Baldy Qiang, a well-known big shot in River City, was naturally no stranger to them.

They knew that if they were truly caught by Baldy Qiang and brought back to River City, they might indeed have to live as homeless people and beggars.

Amid the pleading of the three, Ma Li’s expression was complex.

Ning Fan watched her calmly, eager to see her choice.

After a long moment, Ma Li spoke in a heavy voice: "Cousin, aunt, uncle, now you remember we are family?"

"Did you think of us as family when you insulted me?"

"Did you think of us as family when you used me to deceive Chairman Lin?"

"Did you think of us as family when you brought Hong Jinrui to strip my clothes and threatened Chairman Lin?"

"Sorry, but from now on, we are no longer family!"

"I’ve decided to sever all familial ties with your family!"

"All of this is the consequence of your own actions!"

Ma Li’s face was stern, as if she had made a great decision.
