After resting for a day at the base, early the next morning, Zi Hongyu informed Ning Fan of Teng Feiyue's whereabouts.
Following the location Zi Hongyu provided, Ning Fan found the hotel where Teng Feiyue was currently staying.
Outside the hotel, Zi Hongyu's people had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw Ning Fan, they immediately came over and respectfully called out, "Ninth Master, you've finally arrived!"
Ning Fan glanced at the man and asked indifferently, "Where is he?"
"He's upstairs, I have been watching, he's definitely still inside!"
This person had been on watch here, and there were also quite a few people from Six Fan Gate guarding the area. They knew exactly which room Teng Feiyue was in and its door number.
It had taken only one night to find Teng Feiyue's location, which showed how seriously Zi Hongyu took this matter.
Ning Fan stood at the hotel entrance, looked up at the tall building, and at that moment, it was unclear what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, the man who was still respectfully bowing beside him, awaiting instructions, felt extremely uneasy. Facing the legendary Ninth Master, even with Ning Fan's subdued sharpness, the man still felt considerable pressure due to Ning Fan's reputation.
Just standing there, relying on the Ninth Master's reputation, he felt Ning Fan had an imposing aura even without anger.
Ning Fan was unaware of the man's internal turmoil. If he knew that the other party was exaggerating his presence so much, he probably would have laughed out loud by now.
He was just a bit hesitant and had some things to think about while standing there; as a result, others had layered him with numerous auras. Such drama!
"Alright, you can go now and tell Zi Hongyu that he has done well on this task."
Ning Fan said indifferently, then without paying further attention to the man, he slowly walked into the hotel.
As Ning Fan left, the man breathed a sigh of relief, then joyful, he promptly relayed Ning Fan's words to Zi Hongyu. As he had thought, Zi Hongyu's spirits lifted upon hearing Ning Fan's comment, and he generously rewarded the man.
As for Ning Fan, he was already in the elevator, ascending to the floor where Teng Feiyue's room was located. The specific door number had been told to him by Zi Hongyu over the phone, so finding Teng Feiyue's room was not difficult.
After finding Teng Feiyue's suite, Ning Fan gently knocked on the door from the outside.
Inside the suite, Teng Feiyue had already gotten up, but he hadn't planned to go out yet.
Hearing someone knocking, he responded.
Ning Fan, confirming that it was Teng Feiyue inside by his voice, then said in a disguised voice, "Room service!"
"Room service?" Teng Feiyue muttered, feeling something off about the voice outside the door. He furrowed his brows, "I don't need it, you can go."
Teng Feiyue refused without a second thought, while Ning Fan outside the door started to smile.
"It's me." Ning Fan said in his own voice, knocking on the door again.
Teng Feiyue, feeling the voice was somewhat familiar, blinked but didn't immediately recognize who it was. Instead, he approached the door instinctively and asked, "Who are you?"
Ning Fan suddenly became interested and started to play a guessing game with Teng Feiyue.
And just as his voice fell, the door opened, and a charming figure appeared before him.
When Teng Feiyue saw that the person was Ning Fan, she was so surprised that her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "It's you, how could you be here?"
Not expecting the person outside to be Ning Fan, Teng Feiyue covered her small mouth, looking at Ning Fan in disbelief, while in her heart, she wondered why he would be here.
Why had he found this place?
Noticing that Teng Feiyue's gaze had turned suspicious, Ning Fan understood that she was beginning to doubt him, probably taking him for a man with ill intent.
"I have some influence here, so it's not difficult for me to find people. What, aren't you going to invite me in to sit?"
Ning Fan directly admitted that it was he who had someone look into Teng Feiyue's whereabouts.
Seeing his candidness, Teng Feiyue grew even more puzzled because Ning Fan didn't look like the deceitful type. Could it be that he had some urgent matter to discuss with her?
Putting aside her doubts, Teng Feiyue invited Ning Fan inside.
Ning Fan picked a random seat to sit down, then got straight to the point, "Last night, I encountered those two people who were after you again."
"What, they went after you?!" Teng Feiyue stood up in shock, her face changing color, then her gaze turned somewhat awkward, and a trace of guilt appeared.
It turned out that Ning Fan was here because of Teng Zhong and Teng Xi's actions. If what Ning Fan said was true, those two men must have done something last night that Ning Fan found excessive; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to look for her.
"What did they do?" Teng Feiyue asked tentatively.
She still didn't know Ning Fan's true identity and thought him her savior, unaware that she was now in the tiger's den.
"Nothing much, they just intended to harm someone close to me."
Ning Fan spoke in an even tone, but Teng Feiyue could feel the anger in his voice.
This was Ning Fan's anger at having his bottom line crossed, and Teng Zhong and the others had crossed it.
Teng Feiyue exclaimed instinctively, "That's just too much!"
If Teng Feiyue knew that the man in front of her was the Ning Fan she had been looking for, who knows what she would have thought? After all, Teng Zhong and the others had always thought that just like Teng Huayang, Teng Feiyue had fallen into Ning Fan's hands as well. Their actions last night were also a gambit to exchange hostages.
"Don't worry, this is also my fault for dragging you into this. I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
Teng Feiyue thought Ning Fan had nothing to do with this matter; he had merely dealt with Teng Zhong and another who had come to capture her yesterday. Yet, because of that, they had gone so far as to target people around Ning Fan, which was just too much.
Hearing Teng Feiyue's words, Ning Fan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "How are you going to handle it as a frail woman? I'm not here to blame you, but to worry about your safety. By the way, can you tell me who exactly they are?"
Seeing Ning Fan's magnanimity, Teng Feiyue felt a growing fondness for him, completely unaware that he was pretending.
Teng Zhong and their identities, how could Ning Fan possibly not know? He had come here to find out Teng Feiyue's true identity.
Confronted with Ning Fan's persistent gaze, Teng Feiyue was troubled, hesitating whether or not to reveal Teng Zhong and their identities, including her own real identity.
"Anyway, don't worry, I assure you they won't trouble you again!"
After some thought, Teng Feiyue decided not to divulge that information and responded as such.
