“Mom, he’s back!”
Nan Baixuan suddenly shouted.
Seeing Chu Fan return safely, Qin Xue’s eyes welled up with tears, and she held him tightly.
Disappointment flickered in Nan Baixuan’s eyes.
She already had a bad impression of Chu Fan, and after being yelled at earlier, her dislike intensified. She secretly wished he would be killed by Hong Batian.
Nan Zi’an rushed over. “Xiao Fan, where have you been these past two days? You had me and Auntie worried sick.”
“Just busy with some things!”
Nan Zi’an nodded, then immediately asked, “Xiao Fan, the outside world says you’re a pawn pushed by the Five Great War Lords to eliminate Hong Batian. Are you familiar with the Five Great War Lords?”
Just now, he had received a call from his brother.
Anxious to resolve the Nan family’s predicament, he could only shamelessly ask.
“Not very familiar!”
“I’m just too lazy to bother with them!”
Again?
Nan Baixuan rolled her eyes. “Who do you think you are, too lazy to bother with them? It’s more like they don’t care about you, right?”
Chu Fan smiled faintly. “What are they? If I tell them to kneel, they wouldn’t dare stand!”
His words were domineering and arrogant, leaving the family of three utterly helpless.
In the eyes of the people of the Dragon God Kingdom, the Five Great War Lords were gods.
It was like making a joke; even the rulers of the Dragon God Kingdom treated the Five Great War Lords with respect.
Chu Fan’s words were sheer fantasy.
Just as Nan Baixuan was about to angrily retort, Nan Zi’an glared at her.
“Xuanxuan, how old are you to still be so childish? Go upstairs and get ready. You start working at the Azure Dragon Financial Group tomorrow, don’t get yourself fired!”
Nan Baixuan glared resentfully at Chu Fan before turning to go upstairs.
Normally, Nan Zi’an would never say anything to his precious daughter that would extricate Chu Fan from trouble.
But now, having confirmed Chu Fan’s connection to the Five Great War Lords, he had to speak in preparation for his later intentions.
“Xiao Fan, you know about the Azure Dragon Financial Group targeting the Nan family, right?”
Nan Zi’an’s eyes were filled with nervousness.
He was the instigator.
Chu Fan grunted, “They deserve it for daring to bully Auntie and seize her assets!”
Nan Zi’an looked embarrassed. Although he had left the Nan family, he still considered himself one of them.
It was uncomfortable for him to hear his family being cursed, but he couldn’t show it. He chuckled and explained, “My father and brother were just temporarily blinded by profit. Xiao Fan, don’t take it to heart.”
“What’s done is done. Since you have connections with the Five Great War Lords, could you speak to them and ask the high-ranking officials of the Azure Dragon Financial Group to intercede for the Nan family, to stop targeting us? My family members all know they were wrong.”
Chu Fan couldn’t be bothered with this spineless Nan Zi’an, unless he considered how good he was to his aunt.
Whether to spare the Nan family depended on how his aunt felt.
“Auntie, what do you think?”
“They bullied you so much, should we spare them?”
Women are kind-hearted.
Catching her husband’s pleading gaze, Qin Xue nodded, “Xiao Fan, if you have connections with the Five Great War Lords, please ask them for a favor.”
Qin Xue didn’t particularly like the rest of the Nan family.
But for her husband, and to get Yu Xue Pharmaceutical back, she could let go of the past.
However, as Chu Fan’s aunt, she didn’t want Chu Fan to debase himself by begging for this matter.
“Xiao Fan, if the Five Great War Lords don’t comply, then forget it!”
“I’ve already found someone else!”
Chu Qingtian had agreed to help. Given his status, asking the Five Great War Lords to speak would not be difficult for Qin Xue.
Therefore, her greater hope was placed on Chu Qingtian.
“Alright!”
Chu Fan nodded, then fixed his gaze on Nan Zi’an. “However, what used to belong to my aunt must be returned to her!”
“That’s only natural!”
Nan Zi’an nodded with a chuckle.
After Chu Fan returned to his room, Qin Xue saw that her husband’s expression was still anxious and comforted him, “An-ge, don’t worry. I’ve found someone else who has a good relationship with the Five Great War Lords. He has promised to resolve the Nan family’s crisis.”
Nan Zi’an happily embraced Qin Xue.
“Xue-mei, thank you. You’ve been worrying too much!”
In the evening, all of the Nan family’s frozen and sealed assets were returned to their hands.
When Yu Xue Pharmaceutical was returned to Qin Xue, it also received a new investment of one hundred billion.
The Nan family members all rejoiced.
Having lost and regained, they were overwhelmed with emotion.
At the dinner table, all sorts of delicacies were laid out.
Qin Xue, who was usually ignored, received special treatment tonight.
Everyone knew that Qin Xue had a friend who had a good relationship with the Five Great War Lords, so they no longer dared to look down on her.
When Yu Xue Pharmaceutical was transferred to Qin Xue’s name and received another one hundred billion investment from the Azure Dragon Financial Group, the Nan family members, though silent, harbored deep resentment.
Previously, everyone had been puzzled as to why the Azure Dragon Financial Group had suddenly targeted the Nan family.
Now, the reason had been found.
Qin Xue’s friend had secretly caused trouble.
Otherwise, why would they not have been targeted before? And why did the Azure Dragon Financial Group withdraw its investment and the Nan family get targeted shortly after they forced Qin Xue to hand over Yu Xue Pharmaceutical?
Nan Xiuming and the others were displeased but dared not show it. They remained respectful to Qin Xue.
The facts made them realize that as long as Qin Xue remained with the Nan family, the Azure Dragon Financial Group’s investment would not be withdrawn, and the Nan family would no longer be targeted.
As for Chu Fan, Nan Xiuming had initially placed his hopes on him.
Upon hearing that he wasn’t very familiar with the Five Great War Lords and his arrogant tone, Nan Ziyun and the others didn’t believe he had such great influence.
Even if he could speak to the Five Great War Lords, the problem wouldn’t be solved so quickly.
Therefore, every member of the Nan family actively toasted Qin Xue, expressing that they were family from now on and should visit each other more.
Upon returning home, a slightly tipsy Qin Xue called Chu Fan over.
“Xiao Fan, while I’m a bit tipsy, Auntie wants to chat with you for a bit. I hope you won’t be annoyed.”
Chu Fan had already anticipated what his aunt would say. He felt a headache coming on.
Although he didn’t want to listen, he still nodded, “Auntie, please speak. I’m listening.”
“Xiao Fan, regarding your background, I think you don’t know yet. When the time is right, Auntie will tell you!”
“You want to find my sister, so go ahead and search for her. I miss her too.”
“But, regarding what happened back then, Auntie hopes you won’t investigate it anymore.”
“There are some people we truly cannot afford to offend!”
“Shift your focus to finding your mother. Find her, and live a good life, okay?”
…
Not wanting his aunt to worry, Chu Fan nodded to every request, but he didn’t promise not to act on them.
Late at night.
Qing Long appeared before Chu Fan.
“Young Master, I will have to leave for a while to verify the clues I’ve gathered, and I won’t be able to serve you anymore.”
“I have arranged a secretary for you, and she will take over my duties to look after you.”
“Young Master, do you need to meet her?”
Chu Fan remained silent, and Qing Long bowed respectfully, waiting quietly.
One minute later.
“Then let’s meet her!”
Qing Long nodded earnestly, “Young Master, you will go directly to the Shanhai Building tomorrow, and someone will receive you!”
At dawn, as the sky began to brighten, Nan Baixuan got up to get ready.
Her beautiful face, coupled with her perfect figure, was exceptionally striking when dressed up.
After confirming that everything was in order, Nan Baixuan invited Zhao Jiayu to go to the Shanhai Building to report for duty together.
All the elites who passed the interview were waiting at the entrance of the Shanhai Building.
“Jiayu, why don’t I see Li Wenqi?”
Nan Baixuan suddenly asked.
