Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1578 - 1567: The Bet Revisited

"As long as you can cure Rose, I wouldn't mind kowtowing and serving you tea."Daisylin understood well that serving tea in Huaxia also implied an apology.

Ning Fan exclaimed, "That's what you said, don't go back on your words later."

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Listening to Daisylin, Ning Fan chuckled, "You've learned Huaxia culture well, I hope you can keep your word."

Regarding Daisylin's scheme against Xu Ruolan, unless it was an extreme situation, Ning Fan couldn't possibly kill her.

After all, Daisylin is a princess, representing the Tai Kingdom's royalty.

If the issue could be resolved peacefully, that would be for the best.

That's why Ning Fan came up with the idea of having her serve a cup of tea, taking the apology on Xu Ruolan's behalf.

Yet Ning Fan hadn't expected this woman to suggest kowtowing and serving tea herself; he had no reason to let it go.

Seeing Daisylin stand still, Ning Fan immediately scolded, "Why are you still standing here? Get on with it."

Daisylin, holding back her anger, asked, "Are you sure just finding these people is enough?"

"That's right. The passenger information from the same flight, and all those who had contact with Rose after landing. It's okay if you can't find them, photos will do, understood?"

"Understood."

Daisylin gritted her teeth and rushed out of the door.

Looking at Rose, who seemed like a sleeping beauty, Ning Fan was amazed but still teased,

"Rose, you little vixen, you have your day too. Luckily, I got my revenge last time and won't hold grudges against you; otherwise, in a few days, even an Immortal..."

Just then, Daisylin's strange voice came in, "Mr. Ning, you are..."

"Ahem... Ahem..."

Ning Fan put on a stern face and reprimanded, "Why are you still here? Don't you know that every second you waste puts Rose in more danger?"

"Mr. Ning, if there's nothing else, you should go and rest. I imagine the upcoming treatment will be quite exhausting."

Daisylin kept a straight face but felt relieved she returned just in time.

Rose's allure was evident to everyone, especially now when she was unresponsive, who knows if someone might have sinister intentions...

Ning Fan let out a couple of embarrassed laughs and left awkwardly,

He understood Daisylin's underlying meaning, but since he got caught hearing the previous conversation, he naturally couldn't refute.

"Mr. Ning, were Rose's external injuries caused by you?"

Ning Fan was startled and became somewhat angry, "Did you forget my instructions? Still wasting time here."

"I understand."

After saying this, Daisylin fell completely silent.

The incident of Rose getting an external injury and falling ill in Zhonghai was reported to Daisylin that very day.

Considering Rose's skills and identity, encountering an external injury was almost improbable.

That day, Daisylin called Rose, and even though she didn't tell the truth, Daisylin knew she had been assaulted.

When Rose became ill, as Daisylin was wiping her body, she noticed a few unhealed fingerprints on her fair skin.

After meeting Ning Fan and hearing what was said earlier, Daisylin's doubts were completely resolved.

"You think you understand? You understand nothing."

Ning Fan felt quite depressed seeing Daisylin's knowing look.

It was only after accompanying Ning Fan back to his room that Daisylin left.

At this point, Ning Fan's face grew somber. Although he boasted in front of Daisylin, internally, he felt uncertain.

Through previous examinations, Ning Fan roughly understood why Rose and others were in an unresponsive state and without any vital signs.

Inside Rose and the others' bodies, there was a cluster of Yin Evil Energy, continuously absorbing their consciousness and using it as nourishment to grow.

As Ning Fan would put it, this Yin Evil Energy was consuming their three souls and seven spirits.

Modern medicine could not detect this situation, hence arriving at normal conclusions.

Ning Fan was unsure what would happen if the Yin Evil Energy completely devoured them.

However, he knew clearly that once the consciousness disappeared, Rose and others would be finished, becoming soulless bodies.

This Yin Evil Energy was extremely sinister, like parasites, and ordinary True Qi was completely ineffective against them.

Ning Fan tried using True Qi to disperse it, but the result was far from satisfying.

The True Qi infused with Divine Power could diminish the Yin Evil Energy, but the effect was minimal.

The damage to the Yin Evil Energy wasn't even faster than its replenishment.

"If only I could control the Divine Power at will."

A hint of regret flashed in Ning Fan's eyes; if he could enter the state of Divine General, he was confident enough to awaken Rose on the spot.

But the Divine Blood never cared about the lives of others, and when it got angry, it didn't even care about the host's life.

In such a bizarre situation, Ning Fan couldn't think of any possibility other than that of a cultivator.

The Yin Evil Energy within over twenty people was identical, so it was certain it came from the same individual.

Although he didn't understand the specific process of spellcasting,

with such an evil technique, killing the Caster would naturally resolve the crisis.

Therefore, Ning Fan had Daisylin investigate who Rose had been in contact with recently to eradicate the crisis from the source.

But this was filled with too many uncertainties, with so many people, how could they find that person?

"There can't be such an invincible spell in the world, otherwise, it would have caused chaos long ago."

Ning Fan could be certain the Caster had definitely been in close contact with Rose and others, maybe even hiding nearby.

Rose's current condition was akin to being affected by Gu Insects.

The only difference between the two is one involves tangible Gu Insects, the other involves intangible energy.

"Let's hope Daisylin can bring back the information soon."

At dusk, Daisylin returned hastily; besides the information in hand, there were over a dozen men in black suits.

Ning Fan asked puzzled, "What's with these people?"

"They are the royal guards; they were the ones who picked up Rose from the airport."

Ning Fan was pleased, "So, Rose didn't meet anyone else right after getting off the plane."

"Approximately so. After getting off the plane, Rose returned directly home. The next day when I went to find her, I discovered they were all unconscious."

Having finished, Daisylin eagerly asked, "Mr. Ning, about these people..."

"Are they all here?"

Daisylin nodded, "Not one is missing."

"Got it. Let them go back then!"

"Ah!"

Daisylin gaped in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Ning Fan pursed his lips, "This has nothing to do with them unless you want to keep them here for midnight snacks."

Though it was a cold joke, Daisylin didn't find it funny; her face grew colder and colder,

"Mr. Ning, I'm telling you seriously, I want to know why this is happening?"
