Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1719 - 1708: The Wealthy Widow

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with impatience, and he kicked the wine bottle on the ground.Listening to that earth-shattering scream, Ning Fan felt a chill underneath, suddenly experiencing a pain in his nether regions.

With heaven and earth as his witnesses, Ning Fan could swear he really just kicked casually to scare the guy, but hadn't expected it to hit the target so precisely.

"This might leave a psychological shadow."

Ning Fan shrugged, blaming it on the guy's bad luck.

"I'll ask, you answer. Say a word of nonsense, and he will be your role model."

After describing Bick's appearance, Ning Fan indeed gathered some leads through a simple Q&A session.

Bick, this guy, really came here for fun just as Ning Fan imagined.

"Where is he?"

"Left."

"When did he leave?"

"About two hours ago."

"How do you know he left two hours ago?"

Ning Fan looked at the speaker, a big-bellied white man.

"He was at the table next to mine, left with a pretty chick."

The reason the fat guy remembered so clearly was because he failed in his attempt to flirt.

Ning Fan frowned and asked, "What pretty chick?"

"I know her. She's called Tao Kangna, seems to be a wealthy widow, sometimes comes here to play."

"Do you know where she is now?"

"Her home is by a lake four kilometers ahead."

"You better not speak nonsense. If I hear any rumors... hehe..."

Ning Fan sneered, releasing a chilling but not lethal murderous aura.

People present seemed to smell a strong scent of blood, instantly paled in fear, shaking their heads to prove they wouldn't say anything.

After obtaining the necessary information, Ning Fan and Alice left the hotel.

"A wealthy widow! Could this guy have found a long-term meal ticket and just left without saying?"

Considering Bick's assets, Ning Fan believed it wouldn't be hard for him to enjoy this kind of life.

But Ning Fan was still somewhat puzzled; given Bick's character, even if he indeed struck it rich in love, he would greet them before leaving.

"Surely he wasn't squeezed dry!"

Ning Fan shook his head in disgust. Regardless, Bieke's disappearance was abnormal, he had to look into it out of duty.

"If it really is because he found a meal ticket..."

Ning Fan's expression turned cold; he'd surely teach Bick a lesson.

At this moment, Ning Fan sensed something amiss.

Looking at Alice, who was quietly walking with her head down, Ning Fan understood the problem.

Alice was never a quiet beauty.

"Alice, do you... do you think I was too harsh earlier?"

Ning Fan felt slightly apologetic; his actions were indeed unchecked and involved many innocents.

Besides that insulter, everyone else was caught in the crossfire.

And this was exactly what Alice disliked the most.

This disagreement created a bit of friction between them.

Alice lifted her head and straightforwardly said, "Not at all!"

"Really not?"

Ning Fan was somewhat doubtful.

"Truly not."

Alice reiterated, with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Uh... okay then."

Ning Fan was now thoroughly convinced; given Alice's personality, whether she was lying was entirely transparent.

"What's that smile about? Could it be that she awakened the cruel side of the Blood Clan, and so feels indifferent about all this."

If Alice knew what Ning Fan was thinking, she'd swear not to speak to that annoying guy for three days.

At this moment, Alice suddenly asked, "Don't you want to know what I was doing earlier?"

"No matter what you did, I support you."

Hearing this, Alice's heart trembled, she couldn't help but ask, "Even if I did something bad, you'd support me?"

"Just the same."

Ning Fan chuckled inwardly.

In his eyes, Alice's so-called bad deed was simply her not following the bar rules, taking pictures secretly.

Indeed, it was a bad deed, but also an insignificant matter.

Not to mention that it just caused some trouble.

Even if Alice tore down the whole bar, Ning Fan would unreasonably cheer her on, passing her a hammer.

There's no other reason, because it's merely an insignificant matter.

Ning Fan thought Alice was still blaming herself for the photo incident, naturally, he wanted to bolster her, lest the sensitive girl overthink.

But Ning Fan didn't know these thoughts were just his assumptions.

He couldn't realize what kind of impact Alice's firm response was having inside her heart.

"What a domineering man, seemingly without a sense of right or wrong, doing things solely based on his own whims. But it's all for me..."

Alice couldn't describe her current mood, she only knew with Ning Fan by her side, she felt reassured and stable.

Watching Alice grin foolishly, Ning Fan was even more puzzled, it felt like Alice had changed since leaving the bar.

"Odd!"

Ning Fan shook his head, stepping on the gas toward the lake.

Looking at the densely lined woods ahead, Ning Fan sniffed, having already sensed the lake's atmosphere.

"The lake is just in front of these woods."

Then Ning Fan's gaze shifted to the red car parked not far away.

Seeing this, it practically verified the truth from the people at the bar.

Bick indeed followed a wealthy widow.

Ning Fan's face fell, preferring to believe Bick fell for a scam rather than accepting such betrayal.

"Looks like we can't drive further. Let's walk."

"Mm!"

The midnight forest seemed very quiet, as if even the snakes, bugs, and rodents were asleep, without a trace of sound.

Only the rustling of grass and dry leaves under their feet could be heard.

Seeing Alice look terrified, clinging to his arm, Ning Fan found it amusing.

This forest indeed appeared somewhat frightening; under the dense fog, the oddly shaped branches seemed like devils baring claws.

At first glance, it felt terrifying, as if a natural setting for horror films.

Whenever the wind blew, the rustling branches sounded like horror movie theme music, carrying a chilling unease.

As if those devils could emerge from the fog anytime and attack.

Especially tonight, with clouds partially veiling the moon, dim moonlight made the woods appear even more eerie and terrifying.

Never mind at night; due to the forest's density, even during the day, few people would dare enter.

But that was for ordinary people; who was Alice? She was the darling of the night, a natural nocturnal ruler.

Now Alice unexpectedly scared, seemed unbelievable to Ning Fan.

With a crisp crack, the sound appeared extraordinarily bizarre in the silent woods.
