Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1877 - 1866: Spiritual Energy Invitation

Staring at the departing figure of Ning Fan, Nangong Ling grumbled indignantly, "Is that old ghost really as formidable as you say?"Nangong Xiong glared back, "He's just like your father, what do you think?"

In truth, Nangong Xiong harbored an even more terrifying thought, yet he was unwilling to admit it.

He had already asked numerous times about the details of Awu's capture, ultimately concluding it was a defeat.

Given this, forcibly keeping Ning Fan would be an extremely unwise choice.

"Little Ling, you'd best remember this, do not provoke him again."

Seeing Nangong Xiong's serious demeanor, Hai Qingping felt a slight tension, realizing he had underestimated Ning Fan.

His normally fearless father-in-law's words surprisingly hinted at conceding.

Nangong Ling complained, "That old ghost, Baobao is your own granddaughter, and you're just letting her be fooled by this scoundrel."

"If that is indeed the case."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Nangong Xiong's eyes, "I'm not someone to be trifled with; I'd even risk face to invite those old ghosts over."

Hai Qingping was stirred, "Father-in-law, judging by what you said, there is still a way to deal with him."

"Of course there is. Though ganging up on someone is somewhat dishonorable."

Nangong Xiong's tone shifted, laughing heartily, "Actually, you all needn't worry so much. If he truly has feelings for Baobao, you would have hit the jackpot. It's my first time seeing such a young Grandmaster."

"If my grandson-in-law is a Grandmaster Level expert, I'd really be quite proud... hahaha."

"You old ghost, what nonsense are you spouting. I don't want this rascal as my son-in-law. Husband, don't you agree?"

"Well..."

Hai Qingping looked troubled, quickly changing the topic, "Let's discuss this later; the priority is to find Baobao first."

"Husband, do you think that rascal suddenly left because he discovered something?"

"That's unlikely."

Hai Qingping shook his head, they had already watched those two video segments countless times and even conducted special processing on the footage, yet the cause of Hai Baobao's disappearance remained elusive.

Before long, a young man dressed in a close-fitting outfit approached.

The young man said apologetically, "Sect Leader, I lost track of him."

"Don't worry about it. If you had managed to keep up, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Nangong Xiong waved his hand, signaling the disciple to withdraw, then solemnly said, "For now, let's put matters concerning Ning Fan aside."

"Father-in-law, you mean to say?"

"There's no need to bother with him for now. Once we find Baobao, I'll personally extend an invitation."

This was the reason Nangong Xiong withheld from speaking earlier.

"Just one person?"

Sensing the departure of the person trailing him, Ning Fan understood immediately that there was no malice intended, otherwise, there would be more than just one person tailing him.

Soon after leaving, Ning Fan knew he was being followed, and so he managed to shake them off.

"Such a seasoned approach, I wonder if it was Hai Qingping or Nangong Xiong's doing?"

Ning Fan chuckled gently, knowing that they had deliberately sent someone to follow him,

even to the extent that it was as if they were openly informing Ning Fan that they were monitoring him.

The purpose of doing so was entirely to show goodwill.

Although slightly perplexing, it was indeed the case.

If no one had followed Ning Fan's sudden departure, that would be peculiar and would suggest that there was something fishy on their minds.

Now that this procedure was seamlessly completed, both parties could naturally be satisfied.

At the crossroads where Hai Baobao disappeared, Ning Fan paced back and forth several times before shaking his head and leaving.

At the place where Chen Min disappeared, Ning Fan likewise found nothing.

"I should find Chen Min first."

Just as he was thinking, Ning Fan received a text message, indicating an address.

Upon leaving, Ning Fan had notified Ouyang Feifei to go to Dawn Primary School to inquire about the school Chen Min was associated with.

Without alarming anyone, Ouyang Feifei had sneaked into the principal's office and found the documents.

"Capital City Workers' Primary School."

Since no one was following, Ning Fan flagged down a car to head to the target location.

He lingered there for an entire afternoon, and didn't leave until the school gates closed at night, heading to a residential area.

During the day, under lavish hospitality, Ning Fan had learned a very important piece of information from the elderly gatekeeper.

Though the gatekeeper wasn't particularly acquainted with Chen Min, he knew that three teachers from Zhonghai Dawn Primary School were indeed at this school.

The most crucial part was that those three teachers were still at the school, having neither resigned nor taken any leave recently.

This news for Ning Fan was equivalent to a shot of cardiac needle.

If he could indeed find Chen Min here, it would prove that her identity was not simple.

"She can utilize Spiritual Energy to perform Invisibility Technique, which means she's similar to me."

These issues weren't important; Ning Fan now just wanted to know what the connection between Chen Min and Hai Baobao's disappearance was.

"It's right here."

Looking at the old residential area in front of him, Ning Fan avoided the security and surveillance, entering with ease.

The residence of the three teachers from Dawn Primary School was in this Xingxin Community.

Then Ning Fan found himself in a dilemma; though the elderly gatekeeper knew their address, he wasn't clear on the specific apartment number.

Although Xingxin Community was an old neighborhood, its five buildings contained thousands of households.

Searching each one would surely wear Ning Fan out.

"I have an idea. If things are as I suspect, then Chen Min will definitely come to find me."

Finding an deserted patch of lawn, Ning Fan hid in the woods, releasing the Spiritual Energy from within his body.

The amount of Spiritual Energy in the air of the Capital City was pitifully low, just like in Zhonghai.

Ning Fan only needed to release as much Spiritual Energy as possible, assuming Chen Min was indeed a practitioner, the sudden increase in Spiritual Energy would undoubtedly arouse her curiosity to investigate.

At this moment, Ning Fan was like a signal amplifier, waiting for someone to catch this signal.

Before long, Ning Fan's mind stirred, and he immediately retracted the Spiritual Energy.

"So cautious. Seems like a veteran."

Ning Fan's expression was complex, he hadn't expected that he could be so wrong about someone, and so gravely so.

In the area ahead of the woods, though seemingly empty, Ning Fan could "see" a humanoid shape within his "vision."

This person had used the Invisibility Technique; if Ning Fan couldn't perceive with Spiritual Energy, he wouldn't have been able to identify this person even if they walked right in front of him.

Moreover, Ning Fan noticed something else: as this person walked, the grass on the ground didn't show the slightest sign of bending.

Based on the person's silhouette, Ning Fan was seventy to eighty percent sure it was Chen Min.

"The Spiritual Energy fluctuations clearly originated here, why did they suddenly disappear."

Invisible, Chen Min's eyes were full of doubt, "Could there be some Spiritual Treasure here?"

A Spiritual Treasure refers to a treasure infused with Spiritual Energy, found in plants, stones, or other objects,

The key aspect being, Spiritual Treasures know how to conceal themselves, only emitting Spiritual Energy under specific conditions, otherwise appearing no different from ordinary items.
