Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Chen Yi’s Affections_1

Immediately following that, Ning Fan made another demand.

"But I want the person I arrange to manage it."

Hearing this, the Prime Minister’s pupils suddenly constricted, instantly understanding what Ning Fan intended to do.

"You want to turn the Gliman Group into your private property!"

Seated on the sofa, Ning Fan responded indifferently, "If that’s how you wish to think of it, then yes."

"Impossible!"

The Prime Minister unequivocally rejected the request without any hesitation.

He could accept the group’s destruction but could never tolerate the group falling into someone else’s hands.

Ning Fan scrutinized him before slowly saying, "If you’re unwilling, then I’ll ensure Australia will never see the appearance of another superhuman."

"Believe me, I mean what I say."

To prevent the emergence of superhumans in a nation, there was only one method.

Eradicate them as soon as they appeared!

The Prime Minister’s first reaction was to think Ning Fan had gone mad; no sane person would contemplate doing such a thing.

However, looking into Ning Fan’s emotionless eyes, the Prime Minister felt a chill.

This man from Xia Country could truly bring such a thing to pass!

After a long stare-down, the Prime Minister eventually hung his head in silence, murmuring, "...Fine, I agree to your demands."

From that point on, the Prime Minister of Australia admitted complete defeat.

Leaving the Prime Minister’s office, Ning Fan returned to where Chen Yi and the others were waiting.

"Ning Fan, why do you want to take control of the Gliman Group?" Chen Donglai asked with a frown, "Such a corporation in our hands could only bring harm."

But Ning Fan shook his head and said, "No, the Gliman Group is like a knife; in the right hands, it can serve its proper purpose."

"In their hands, it’s a threat to society, but in ours, it can be used for better purposes."

In fact, Ning Fan wanted the Gliman Group because of something Ao Xi’er had said.

If research continued, the Gliman Group might have the chance to enable ordinary people to possess superpowers.

"Ao Xi’er, you will continue to control the Gliman Group, but you can no longer arbitrarily abduct people for research; human experimentation needs Professor Chen’s consent."

"Professor Chen, I hope you’ll get involved with the Gliman Group’s research and work toward the latest breakthroughs as soon as possible."

"Ka Mier, you’ll be the overseer. If Ao Xi’er attempts anything unauthorized, you’ll be the one to sanction him."

With just a few sentences, Ning Fan had arranged everyone’s roles.

Ao Xi’er and Ka Mier naturally had no objections, as they were utterly subdued by Ning Fan.

Chen Donglai hesitated for a while but ultimately nodded in agreement as well.

Although he perceived Gliman Group as problematic, the thought of Ning Fan keeping watch offered reassurance that even if Ao Xi’er tried something in the future, he would have reservations.

"Fine, the plane tickets are also booked. Tomorrow morning, we can set off back to Xia Country."

A bright smile appeared on Ning Fan’s face. Thinking of returning home to help Xu Yourong break free from her frozen state filled him with contentment.

That night, in the hotel.

After taking a bath, Chen Yi sat on the bed, not doing anything, just staring blankly ahead.

What she had experienced during the day was unimaginably surreal to her.

Mercenary Corps, superhumans, the Prime Minister of Australia... She had always followed Chen Donglai in research and had never been exposed to such affairs.

Thinking of how Ning Fan had risked his life to save her, Chen Yi was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Sitting on the bed deep in thought for a long time, as if she had made a definitive decision, she suddenly stood up and left the room.

Ning Fan was in his room cultivating, contemplating how to awaken Xu Yourong when he returned.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Ning Fan opened the door and found Chen Yi standing outside.

"What’s the matter?"

With her face flushed, Chen Yi murmured wordlessly for a while before whispering, "Ning Fan, thank you for saving me."

Ning Fan was taken aback and waved his hand with a smile, "No problem, you’re just an ordinary person. If I hadn’t saved you, you’d definitely be dead."

"No, if it weren’t for you, I might not be able to return to Xia Country now."

Chen Yi entered the room and sat down, her heart racing as she thought about what she had decided earlier.

She wanted to reciprocate Ning Fan’s life-saving grace, and moved by her emerging feelings, she was prepared to give herself to him in return.

However, her lifelong reserve prevented her from taking the final step.

Just then, she noticed Ning Fan’s phone on the desk, looked down, and saw a picture of Ning Fan and Xu Yourong together.

"You really like Miss Xu, don’t you?" Chen Yi suddenly asked.

Following her gaze, Ning Fan’s eyes overflowed with affection, "Yes, I really like her."

"She once braved death for me, and I would gladly lay down my life for her. Now she’s frozen, and no matter the cost, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to thaw her out."

Hearing this, Chen Yi felt an immense shock.

She could clearly sense that Ning Fan’s words were sincere; he was truly prepared to lay down his life for Xu Yourong.

At that moment, any lingering affection in her heart was suppressed.
