Chapter 335: Chapter 335

Since moving to the military district's guesthouse, Ding Fan had only visited Ye Ningbing two or three times at most.

During this period, those who took care of her more were actually Xian Shui and Mu Zi.

After all, Ye Ningbing was regarded as the most beautiful woman in Huaxia, and she had never been neglected . In her view, coming to Ding Fan's side was merely a transaction.

However, this transaction left Ye Ningbing feeling rather disgruntled, wondering why Ding Fan had been so cold and indifferent since her arrival, treating her as if she didn't matter.

Even though the Ding Family had been annihilated, and Ye Ningbing had previously promised Ding Fan to preserve the Ding Family, as a man, should his horizons be so narrow-minded? It had been so long, wasn't it time to let go?

Ye Ningbing got up early this morning, with the intent of confronting Ding Fan to find out what exactly about her was not good enough for him.

Ye Ningbing's injuries had been severe, but after being treated by Ding Fan, they were no longer serious. Coupled with the past days of recuperation, she was completely capable of taking care of herself now.

"Ding Fan... I have something to discuss with you," Ye Ningbing said as she pushed open the door to Ding Fan's room, getting straight to the point without any pretense.

Ding Fan had not expected that Ye Ningbing would come to him early in the morning.

"I'm rather busy today and have to go out soon. If there's anything, let's talk about it tonight," said Ding Fan indifferently.

Ding Fan had promised Ma Xiaochuan to help find his father's remains in Zhangjiajie, and he also needed to attend an auction in Longxi. With just over ten days left, Ding Fan knew he would be insanely busy.

The matters Ye Ningbing wanted to talk about were merely about romantic affections, and Ding Fan really wasn't in the mood to discuss such things with her.

"No, it has to be today," Ye Ningbing insisted stubbornly.

Regardless of whether she came to his side to repay a debt of gratitude, she was now Ding Fan's woman, and he had no reason to keep treating her so coldly every day.

Ding Fan hadn't expected Ye Ningbing to be so obstinate.

"I've arranged to meet a friend at eight o'clock. I really don't have time today," Ding Fan said.

Ding Fan had an appointment with Cheng Bufan at Antique Street, and time was not on his side now.

Ye Ningbing pondered for a moment. "It so happens that I need to go out today as well, so let's go together," she suggested.

Ding Fan was quite frustrated; Ye Ningbing claiming it so happened she needed to go out was clearly just an excuse to accompany him.

However, a clever man would not argue with a woman about such things. Since she was willing to follow, he decided to let her.

Ding Fan quickly got ready. Since all his belongings were in the storage ring, it did not take long for him to prepare.

After waiting briefly for Ye Ningbing, the two then left the guesthouse.

Ye Ningbing was dressed rather simply today in a neat and elegant white dress. With her already tall figure, the dress made her look even more graceful and dignified.

Her fair, slender, and erect legs, combined with her clean and delicate face, gave anyone standing before such a girl a suffocating sensation.

The soldiers standing guard had a really tough time these past few days because of Ding Fan.

The women around Ding Fan seemed to be of various kinds, either wealthy young misses, big stars, or simply pure beauties.

The soldier thought to himself that he was also a handsome and strapping young man, so why couldn't he encounter a nice girl while Ding Fan was surrounded by a bevy of outstanding ones...

Life's injustices struck him hard!

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Ding Fan asked directly as they walked out of the camp and onto a tree-lined path.

"Ding Fan, do you particularly despise me?" Ye Ningbing didn't beat around the bush either.

"Despise you?" Ding Fan was taken aback.

Although Ye Ningbing appeared aloof on the outside, she was kind-hearted. When the Ye Family had once targeted Ding Fan, she had secretly sent letters to him.

Ding Fan simply didn't want to incur too much emotional debt, so he hadn't been overly attentive to Ye Ningbing.

"You're overthinking; I have no reason to hate you," Ding Fan said calmly.

"Ding Fan, we've both been through a lot. When I said I wanted to be your woman, it came from my heart... I don't like owing others... I stand by my words," Ye Ningbing said earnestly.

Ding Fan felt a headache coming on.

"As I've said, you are free... as long as the Ye Family doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke the Ye Family," Ding Fan spoke.

Before Ye Ningbing could finish her sentence, a bullet suddenly whizzed towards them. Since the gun was silenced, the shot wasn't loud, and few people nearby heard it.

What surprised Ding Fan was that the intended target of the bullet wasn't himself, but rather Ye Ningbing!

At that moment, Ding Fan was some distance from Ye Ningbing. He hadn't been paying attention, and by the time he did, the bullet was already dangerously close.

Ding Fan reached out through the air, and directly pulled Ye Ningbing to his chest.

Ye Ningbing was startled, as she had not sensed anyone trying to kill her. Suddenly being pulled to his chest, she instinctively wanted to push away.

But at that moment, a mist of blood erupted. Ye Ningbing was shocked, and when she looked at the woman again, Ding Fan's shoulder had been pierced by a bullet.

"Get down!" Ding Fan didn't care about the gunshot wound on his body. He immediately held Ye Ningbing tight and quickly dashed toward a corner.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

And right behind where Ding Fan had been, bullet holes were left in his wake.

Ye Ningbing, who was clutched by Ding Fan, saw clearly that the bullets were obviously aimed at both her and Ding Fan.

Only thanks to Ding Fan's impressive movement technique were they not hit by the assailant.

At this time, there were few pedestrians by the roadside, and not many people noticed the anomaly here. Ding Fan's Divine Sense probed out, but due to the great distance, he wasn't able to locate the sniper right away.

However, based on the direction from which the bullets came, Ding Fan could roughly determine the sniper's direction.

Meanwhile, Ye Ningbing was now held sideways in Ding Fan's arms. This was the first time she was so close to a man.

The scent on Ding Fan was pleasant. Ye Ningbing was certain that the nice smell on Ding Fan wasn't from any cologne, but something that brought tranquility and comfort.

The warmth of Ding Fan's embrace gave a strong sense of security.

As if, no matter how grave the dangers beside them, hiding in his arms would ensure that everything would be alright.

Just like the current situation.

Now Ye Ningbing and Ding Fan were the targets of an assassination, but as Ye Ningbing hid in Ding Fan's arms, she wasn't the slightest bit nervous or panicked, feeling assured that with Ding Fan around, any problem could be solved.

Ding Fan avoided the threat with Ye Ningbing briefly, then quickly dashed out.

Being a shady footpath, there weren't many people around. Otherwise, anyone witnessing Ding Fan's speed would have been astounded.

How could a person possibly move so fast? Even a cheetah would have felt embarrassed by Ding Fan's speed.

Ding Fan didn't dare to leave Ye Ningbing alone; he held her tightly in his arms.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

More bullets came shooting towards them.

Ding Fan dodged nimbly, changing positions as he steadily evaded the bullets.

In fact, it was only because he was carrying Ye Ningbing. Otherwise, Ding Fan wouldn't have thought twice about the bullets coming his way. Catching bullets barehanded and shooting them back had been done by Ding Fan before in Myanmar.

After a burst of rapid gunfire, the surroundings fell silent.

With his Divine Sense fully extended, Ding Fan soon spotted his target about three hundred meters away.

On the fifth floor of a residential building, that's where the shots had been fired from. The sniper there had already begun to prepare to move.

A sniper only truly has one chance to make a kill, which is the first shot. If the first shot missed, then there was no point in persisting in the standoff.

Having fired indiscriminately at Ding Fan without succeeding, the sniper understood his current situation. His priority was to leave the area quickly before he was found.

But before the sniper could move, Ding Fan had already appeared before him. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"How? How is this possible?" The assassin was completely dumbfounded.

When he took his last shot, Ding Fan was still three to four hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, Ding Fan was right in front of him, making the sniper question whether he was dreaming.

"Who sent you," Ding Fan held Ye Ningbing and asked icily. "Why do you want to kill Ye Ningbing!"

After a moment of silence, the assassin suddenly reached into his coat and drew out a handgun.

The assassin moved quickly, and in what seemed like a blur to Ye Ningbing, the barrel of the gun was already aimed at them.

The assassin was fast, but Ding Fan was faster. Just as the assassin had the handgun pointed at him and Ye Ningbing, Ding Fan kicked out.

The force of Ding Fan's kick was formidable; a single kick broke the assassin's wrist, and Ye Ningbing, lying in Ding Fan's arms, even heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Who sent you…" Ding Fan's tone was still ice-cold, his eyes murderously fixed on the assassin.

The assassin endured the pain of his broken wrist, and for the first time, there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the assassin asked after a moment's hesitation.

"You have no right to negotiate!" said Ding Fan.
