Chapter 1572 - 1561: Heading to the Tai Kingdom
"What are you doing?"Xu Xiaoqing spread her hands and said, "Give me the stuff."
"What stuff..."
Fortunately, Ning Fan reacted quickly and opened the drawer, handing over the set of purple lingerie.
Xu Xiaoqing sneered, "You hid it well!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you. Manager Lan was just here, I couldn't leave it on the table for her to see!"
Xu Xiaoqing pouted, "Brother-in-law, I was just joking with you!"
"Alright, I'm going to find your sister."
As he left the security department, Ning Fan felt a sense of freedom, like a bird released into the sky.
The events that just transpired still made Ning Fan's heart race upon recollection.
It was like walking a tightrope—dangerous yet thrilling.
Both Lan Kexin and Xu Xiaoqing were gathered together.
If something went wrong, Ning Fan's little secret would be completely exposed.
"Passing through a sea of flowers, not touching a single leaf. You're truly a playboy among flowers."
Shamelessly congratulating himself, Ning Fan arrived at the CEO's office.
Seeing no one else around, Ning Fan smiled, "Dear wife, I'm here."
"Hubby, sit down for a moment."
Xu Ruolan forced a smile; she didn't look well, supporting her forehead as if troubled by something.
"Wife, are you worried about the Tai Kingdom issue?"
Xu Ruolan said in surprise, "Oh! You already know, hubby."
"Xiaoqing just told me that Rose and her group have fallen ill."
"Xiaoqing has been getting along well with Rose lately, so it's reasonable for her to come to you."
Xu Ruolan chuckled softly and then said, "Hubby, what do you think about this matter?"
After expressing his earlier thoughts, Ning Fan said seriously, "Based on the current intelligence, the issue likely didn't originate on our side."
Before the truth surfaced, Ning Fan dared not speak too definitively.
"That's what I think too. But why would they suddenly collapse out of nowhere?"
Xu Ruolan sighed, "The most critical thing is that it happened not long after landing that night. It's just too coincidental."
"What does the Tai Kingdom's Royalty say?"
Speaking of which, a sharp glint flashed in Ning Fan's eyes, "Are they insisting it's our doing and holding us responsible?"
"Not at all."
Xu Ruolan shook her head, "The Royalty has covered it up for now. They hope we can send someone over to thoroughly explain Rose's actions and see if we can find any clues."
Ning Fan's mind stirred, "Wife, do you mean..."
"After thinking about it, you're the best candidate to go."
"That makes sense."
In this aspect, Ning Fan felt he was indeed the most qualified.
On the surface, Ning Fan was the security department manager, responsible for Rose's itinerary, so he was very familiar with the ten-day details.
Additionally, Ning Fan's medical technique might even cure Rose.
"There's no time to lose. I'll head out today."
"Hubby, this may be a bit of a hassle for you this time."
Seeing Xu Ruolan's weary expression, Ning Fan laughed, "As your husband, I'm obligated to help solve your troubles."
In this matter, although the Tai Kingdom's Royalty didn't publicly hold Xu Corporation accountable and even covered it up,
Ning Fan was well aware there would likely be covert difficulties.
No way around it; Rose's incident was too bizarre, and suspicion on the Xu Corporation was understandable.
Xu Ruolan apologized, "I need to communicate with the Princess, so I won't see you off."
"Why are we even saying this! I'm off now; just wait for my good news."
Whether it was poisoning or a cultivator's trick, Ning Fan was somewhat confident in turning the situation around for Rose and her group.
"I'm just afraid that after curing them, it might seem like a cover-up."
Thinking of certain things, Ning Fan couldn't help but feel a headache.
That same day, Ning Fan boarded a flight to the Tai Kingdom, during which Xu Xiaoqing intended to accompany him but was stopped by Xu Ruolan in time.
At Bangkok Airport, Ning Fan saw two men with black sunglasses holding a sign with his name on it.
Xu Ruolan had already communicated with the Princess, and someone would be there to receive Ning Fan after he disembarked.
Walking straight towards them, Ning Fan said calmly, "I am Ning Fan."
"Come with us."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan felt somewhat displeased.
Not because of the commanding tone of the words.
But rather because the two men flanked him on either side with expressionless faces, making it seem like he was a prisoner being escorted.
Having anticipated a rough trip, Ning Fan could only accept it.
There were no handcuffs, nor was there any rough pushing; Ning Fan really had no reason to get angry.
"You'd better know when to stop. Otherwise, I don't care who you are in the Royalty..."
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold as he expressionlessly got into a black Jeep.
The ride was steady, and judging by the landscape quickly retreating past, Ning Fan guessed they were heading towards the suburbs.
Ning Fan assessed the two people in the front and passenger seats.
With dark skin, large joints, and bulging temples, it was apparent they practiced external martial arts.
Though they were short, they exuded a fierce aura, indicating rigorous training.
Since boarding the car, the two had remained silent, showing good discipline.
One drove meticulously while the other kept an eye on Ning Fan through the rearview mirror, seemingly worried he'd make a move.
Ning Fan scoffed inwardly, "If I wanted to leave, you rookies couldn't stop me."
Whatever challenges came, Ning Fan decided not to ask too many questions, taking interest in the passing scenery.
Ning Fan was unaware that since he entered the car, his every move had been monitored by cameras, transmitting everything in real time to a certain location.
There were five cameras in total, capturing Ning Fan's face, hands, legs, and all parts capable of movement with no blind spots.
In a room within a certain estate, there were five large HD monitors.
The footage from the Jeep's cameras was being relayed here.
Watching the young man on the screen, the Princess in traditional Royal attire gently said, "Is he Ning Fan?"
The servant next to her nodded, "Yes, that's him. These are photos taken by someone undercover in Zhonghai."
As he spoke, the servant handed over the photos he held.
The Princess didn't take them, merely glanced at them lightly.
Though a bit blurry and obviously taken covertly, the person in the photos was clearly recognizable.
"So, he was present throughout the ten days Rose spent in Zhonghai?"
The servant responded, "According to Ning Fan's job responsibilities, he indeed had to accompany Miss Rose throughout."
"As I thought, he's the one who came to the Tai Kingdom this time."
The Princess smiled gently and then said, "In this regard, Xu Ruolan is quite forthright, not just sending anyone to make up the numbers."
