Ning Fan quickly returned home.
The news about the bomb buried in the company's underground garage had already spread, and even Xu Xiaoqing knew about it.
Xu Xiaoqing sat on the sofa, both curious and horrified.
"How could such a dangerous thing happen in our company's building? What are the guards even there for?"
When she saw Ning Fan come back, Xu Xiaoqing's entire face was thrilled, and she foolishly looked at Ning Fan.
"Dummy, how are you so amazing, even able to defuse a bomb? What exactly happened at the company? Tell me, I want to know," she asked nervously.
Xu Xiaoqing was anxious and could hardly believe that Ning Fan could have defused a bomb, yet she was very curious…
"Girl, didn't your sister tell you?" Ning Fan didn't want to say much, brushing her off.
"Dummy, quickly tell me how you defused the bomb. Is it just like in the movies? Was it thrilling?"
Xu Xiaoqing pulled on Ning Fan's hand, trying to act adorable.
Ning Fan forcefully kept silent; hearing Xu Xiaoqing mention the bomb made him frustrated.
It wasn't about defusing a bomb; what's there to talk about defusing a fake bomb. He had been completely played by Rain Emperor, and the frustration was choking him inside.
"Girl, I'm very angry right now, let me be alone," Ning Fan said.
"Hmph! It's just defusing bombs, right? Stupid Ning, did I really want to know? If you don't say, I don't want to listen anymore," Xu Xiaoqing pouted.
At that moment, Xu Ruolan came downstairs in casual clothes, saw Xu Xiaoqing persistently clinging to Ning Fan and smiled as she gently stroked her head.
Then, she turned to Ning Fan, who was sitting on the side, and said indifferently, "Thank you."
Ning Fan was in a bad mood.
"It's nothing; this is part of my job as a security guard. You hit the bell as long as you're a monk, right?"
Xu Ruolan was stunned.
Why had this guy suddenly become so strange? He wasn't in the garage before; could he have encountered something on the way?
"You should not go to work these next couple of days. Just stay at home, don't go anywhere."
Ning Fan reminded her.
"What about the company? No, I still need to go to the company," Xu Ruolan knew Ning Fan meant well, but how could she not go to the company? She could just bring a few more bodyguards with her.
Ning Fan directly snapped at Xu Ruolan, repeating the sentence.
Xu Ruolan was startled by Ning Fan's serious expression and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
"Is the bomb incident not over yet? Do you know who's causing trouble?" Xu Ruolan asked quietly with a hint of doubt after a silence.
At this point, Xu Xiaoqing sensed something was amiss in the atmosphere and quieted down upon hearing Xu Ruolan's question.
She also wanted to know who had planted the bomb, a bomb powerful enough to bring down the entire building. That person must be very strong and was actually after her sister's life; he couldn't be allowed to get away with it.
"This has nothing to do with you two; I'll handle it," Ning Fan shook his head.
There was no need to tell them both. Involving them in the situation with Rain Emperor would only make things more complicated. He needed to quickly separate the Xu family from this matter.
Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing widened their eyes, watching Ning Fan leave the room.
"He's so annoying; he clearly knows who it is, but he won't tell us," Xu Xiaoqing stomped her feet in frustration.
How could this not be their business? Now the Xu Corporation was under threat.
Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan's receding figure.
"Perhaps he didn't want to worry us,"
As to what the truth was, Xu Ruolan really wanted to know but since Ning Fan wasn't speaking, there was no way to find out.
Ning Fan arrived at the perimeter of the villa and examined the security arrangements, furrowing his brow.
"For ordinary people, such security measures are adequate, but against Rain Emperor, they're practically useless."
He immediately went over to Captain Wang Gang's side.
"Captain Wang Gang, how could you let your guard down? We need to elevate our security measures further, adding more personnel for 24-hour defense!"
Ning Fan said with a stern face.
"Mr. Ning, hasn't the threat already been eliminated? I would think that no assassin would dare to attack, not to mention, you're here, aren't you?"
The rugged-faced Wang Gang seemed to have not noticed Ning Fan's grim expression.
But when he caught sight of Ning Fan's wooden expression, he immediately fell silent.
"Mr. Ning, you look terrible. Is something not right? Please, give me your instructions, and I will do my best to ensure the safety of the villa."
Wang Gang said in a lowered voice.
"The situation is becoming increasingly serious. You need to upgrade the security system, especially in the next couple of days. Absolutely no negligence is allowed."
"Alright, alright, I will arrange for someone to guard day and night, ensuring that no one can get close to the villa."
Ning Fan nodded, considering that Rain Emperor was an elusive figure and it was better to be cautious. Getting the first line of defense right would save a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Ning, who exactly should we be guarding against?"
Wang Gang, seeing how solemn and serious Ning Fan was, wondered who could be worth such concern from Ning Fan.
After all, wasn't this the person who had easily taken care of Second Master Xu? Could there be an adversary more difficult to handle?
"Just remember, if any stranger approaches the villa, stay vigilant and interrogate them with a hundred and twenty percent focus until you're certain there are no doubts left."
Ning Fan said coldly.
"This… every stranger? Mr. Ning, that's really challenging for us. There are many people coming and going to this villa, and they all have high status. It's quite troublesome to check each of them," Wang Gang said with a bitter face.
The Xu family's villa had business dealings with various people who might visit. If they had to question everyone, and if they happened to offend a powerful figure who couldn't be provoked, wouldn't that be the end for them?
"I don't want to repeat myself. Stay alert these next two days." Ning Fan said very seriously.
Wang Gang's body trembled slightly.
This adversary must be incredibly fearsome if even Mr. Ning, a big shot himself, was being so cautious.
"As Mr. Ning commands, Wang Gang will make the necessary arrangements."
Wang Gang nodded quickly and rushed to arrange personnel, expanding the surveillance range of the villa, and strengthening patrols and alarms.
Ning Fan addressed all the guards with a mere sentence: "Keep a close watch on anyone suspicious."
He had nothing more to explain to them, so he turned and went back inside the villa.
All the guards looked at each other in dismay. Was Ning Fan trying to put them in an awkward position on purpose?
"There are plenty of people who act suspiciously. What should we do, boss?"
"We follow Mr. Ning's orders."
Wang Gang admired Ning Fan so deeply that he wouldn't question Ning Fan's arrangements. There was definitely a reason for them.
Hence, the Xu family villa's security level was raised to the highest, not allowing people in easily.
Ning Fan returned to his room.
He thought to himself that if Rain Emperor really were to come, relying on them to stop him would be completely impossible.
After all, he would have to make a trip to the East City Coast in Zhonghai City to meet with Rain Emperor and resolve the issue with Rain Emperor once and for all to be at ease.
