Chapter 299: Chapter 299

An Quan's expression became very grave. Usually, he was all about showing off and bullying others. But today, the four bodyguards he brought along were killed by the opponent in minutes.

It should be noted that these four bodyguards were extremely skilled, and their physiques were very imposing. Yet, such four strong men were taken down by Ding Fan with just a few punches and kicks.

"****... you're ****ing dead. In Yanjing, how many people don't know me, An Quan? You dare touch my people; if I don't kill you today, I **** well might take your surname!"

While saying this, An Quan was already making a phone call for backup.

"Brother Hai, I've been bullied today. I'm now near a café by the military district. This **** is very arrogant and skilled. Bring more people..."

An Quan hadn't finished his call when Ding Fan already arrived in front of him. An Quan was startled. "What... what are you going to do?"

Ding Fan didn't waste words with An Quan. He grabbed An Quan by the neck, lifting him as if he were a little chicken, and took him straight to the door.

At the door, Ding Fan exerted force in his foot as if kicking a ball, and An Quan was kicked straight out.

An Quan fell face first onto the ground, his face suddenly smeared with streaks of blood. He looked extremely disheveled.

"****, if you have the guts, don't leave, and see how I deal with you..." An Quan climbed up from the ground and started shouting hoarsely.

Ding Fan's cold glance swept over An Quan. An Quan, who was cursing like a fishwife, immediately shut his mouth.

The murderous aura in that calm gaze was piercing, sending chills down the spine. An Quan ended up swallowing his next words.

Despite his arrogance, An Quan was no idiot; his four bodyguards had been taken out, and his backup hadn't arrived yet. If he kept cursing and Ding Fan decided to lunge at him, he'd only end up suffering in silence.

Seeing that An Quan had shut his mouth, Ding Fan walked directly into the café.

While An Quan was arrogant and overbearing, in Ding Fan's eyes, he was merely an ant. Unless provoked, he wouldn't intentionally bother with an ant.

"Should we change locations..." Ding Fan returned, and Ningbing walked over to ask.

Ningbing had been in the elite circle for quite a while and knew well of An Quan's character. Since An Quan suffered a loss today, she doubted this issue would be easily resolved, which made her somewhat worried.

Ding Fan shook his head slightly. "No need. If there is something to discuss, we talk here."

If An Quan, a petty figure, could scare him off, Ding Fan would rather just smash his head with a piece of tofu. How could a little princeling scare Ding Fan?

Ningbing pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, let's talk inside then."

There and then, Ningbing and Ding Fan walked into the private room together.

The room was warm-toned, with a candle on an ancient-looking table. Ding Fan and Ningbing sat across from each other.

"What do you want to discuss?" Ding Fan asked directly after sitting down.

Ningbing didn't immediately speak; she pondered for a moment.

Before, in Ningbing's opinion, Ding Fan was just a wayward, idle playboy. Although she didn't know what fortuitous event he had experienced, he remained in her impression the same Ding Fan who had mistakenly entered her changing room.

Cowardly, timid, incompetent...

But, when Ningbing was being bullied by An Quan, and Ding Fan stood up for her, she discovered a different Ding Fan in that moment.

A true man who was neither haughty nor humble, neither servile nor overbearing...

This was not at all like the Ding Fan she used to know. She had prepared for the impression of the old Ding Fan, but facing the now extraordinary Ding Fan, she suddenly didn't know how to speak the words she had prepared earlier.

Seeing Ningbing silent, Ding Fan lightly coughed. "If there's nothing important, I still have other matters to attend to..."

No sooner had Ding Fan spoken than he actually stood up to leave.

"No, I have something..." Seeing Ding Fan genuinely about to leave, Ningbing suddenly panicked. She quickly stood up.

Realizing Ningbing seemed to have something genuinely important, Ding Fan sat down again.

With Ding Fan seated once more, Ningbing finally felt relieved, yet, inexplicably, a wave of grievance overcame her, and tears began to fall.

Life's strange twists of fate.

Back when Ding Fan mistakenly entered her changing room and realized it was hers, he knelt on the ground, pleading repeatedly for Ningbing to forgive him.

And now, time had changed, and here she was, the anxious one seeking out Ding Fan...

"I know you like me... I am willing to offer myself in exchange for the Ye Family's peace. Please, leave the Ye Family alone..." Ningbing said, closing her eyes, as tears streamed down her face.

Ye Ningbing had come to see Ding Fan today primarily for this reason, yet feeling the extraordinary aura about him, she found herself momentarily at a loss for words. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Originally, Ye Ningbing thought that by offering herself in exchange for the peace of the Ye Family, Ding Fan would surely agree without any hesitation.

But now, a fear took hold in her heart, worrying that even after she spoke, Ding Fan might not accept her proposal…

For the first time in her life, Ye Ningbing began to doubt her own charm…

Ding Fan was also taken aback, not having anticipated that Ye Ningbing was there to discuss this matter. "If it's about this issue, you might as well leave now," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Ye Ningbing slowly opened her eyes, Ding Fan really had changed, he did not immediately agree with her.

"Then how will you be able to spare the Ye Family... Just say the word, and I'll do my utmost to comply!" Ye Ningbing declared as she looked at Ding Fan across from her.

"I have no intention of dealing with the Ye Family…" Ding Fan spoke calmly.

Ding Fan did not deceive Ye Ningbing. If it weren't for Ye Qingyun attempting to kill Ding Fan, he really would not have taken action against the Ye Family.

"You may not be targeting the Ye Family, but Ye Chenming was killed by you, and the old ancestor of the Ye Family, Ye Qingyun, was also killed by you… Are you saying these things weren't your doing?" Ye Ningbing's tone slowly rose, becoming somewhat agitated.

"Ye Chenming wasn't killed," Ding Fan said, not originally planning to explain to Ye Ningbing, but a woman willing to trade herself for her family's peace did earn some of his respect.

In this society driven by material desires, where everyone is selfish, it's rare to find someone willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good… That's why Ding Fan decided to explain.

"The day Ye Chenming had a dispute with you, he was immediately murdered... Originally, the Ding family was annihilated by my Ye Family. You came back this time to avenge the Ding family… Are you saying you did it, but you don't dare admit it?" Ye Ningbing asked.

Ding Fan's brows furrowed slightly. "The same words, I'll only say once; if I had killed Ye Chenming, there would be no need for me to hide it… I also don't need to lie about killing a man like Ye Chenming."

After hearing Ding Fan's words, Ye Ningbing fell into contemplation.

If she had not seen Ding Fan today, she wouldn't have believed his words, but after meeting him, what he said seemed more credible.

"Is there anything else? If not, you can leave," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Ye Ningbing found Ding Fan's demeanor rather amusing.

When had she ever been treated ? She knew that in elite circles, speaking to someone as she did was considered a privilege. When had anyone ever wanted to send her away like Ding Fan did now…

"I've said it, from today on, I am your woman," Ye Ningbing inhaled deeply as she spoke.

Ding Fan's brows slightly furrowed. "First, if the Ye Family doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke them; second, I do not like you…"

Ye Ningbing looked at Ding Fan, who remained indifferent, not showing any sign of lying.

"I must go first, I have other matters. Excuse me…" Ding Fan spoke, then stood up directly.

"Ye Chenliang… you must spare Ye Chenliang!" Ye Ningbing said with some agitation at this moment.

Ding Fan did indeed recall the incident where Lin Qingqing was nearly harmed by men sent by Ye Chenliang to the Land Temple…

"Ye Chenliang can't be spared; he must die!" Ding Fan did not hide his intent.

If it weren't for the mysterious person who had slipped him a note that day, Lin Qingqing would have been harmed. Considering Ye Chenliang's malicious intent and his schemes to kill him, how could Ding Fan possibly spare such a man!

"I've said, if you can spare Ye Chenliang, my body, my everything, is yours! Moreover, I can assure you, I will never betray you in this life…" Ye Ningbing said with urgency.

Ding Fan slowly turned his head to look at Ye Ningbing on the side. "I've said it, I do not like you…"

After speaking, Ding Fan directly pushed open the room door.

Thump… Ye Ningbing directly knelt down behind Ding Fan. "I know I owe you… but please, for the several times I had Mary tip you off to leave Yanjing before, spare Ye Chenliang…"

Ding Fan stood still.

At the time when the Ye Family meant harm, Ye Ningbing indeed repeatedly had Mary remind him…

"****, you're not bluffing anymore, today you'll ****** know what happens when you mess with me in Yanjing!" Just then, An Quan arrived with a swarm of people blocking the entrance of the coffee shop.

"Tell Ye Chenliang, this time I'll spare him, but if there's a next time, he's dead!" Ding Fan didn't pay any attention to An Quan outside; he told Ye Ningbing on the side.
