My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Sakura Falling?”

Ning Anbang took a deep breath.

How could he not have heard of the organization called Sakura Falling?

It was a name that struck fear into the hearts of many.

It seemed that wherever Sakura Falling appeared, death would follow.

Furthermore, their actions were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, killing without a trace.

”Secretary Situ, why did you suddenly bring up Sakura Falling?” Ning Anbang had not joined the Azure Dragon Commerce and naturally did not know the relationship between Sakura Falling and the Azure Dragon Commerce.

Situ Yufeng’s expression was serious. ”In fact, I have come this time to cooperate with you, Brother Ning, to seize control of Sakura Falling.”

”What?” Ning Anbang’s pupils contracted sharply, somewhat puzzled.

Why the sudden move to seize the leadership of Sakura Falling?

This leap seemed a bit too large.

However, after a brief explanation from Situ Yufeng, Ning Anbang quickly understood his intentions.

So, Sakura Falling had recently encountered internal issues, and many in the Azure Dragon Commerce were eyeing the leadership position of Sakura Falling. Whoever could seize the position would rise rapidly within the Azure Dragon Commerce.

Of course, openly seizing the leadership of Sakura Falling would inevitably attract the attention of the president of the Azure Dragon Commerce, causing unnecessary trouble.

Situ Yufeng’s meaning was very clear: he wanted to use the Ning Family to act as a front while he discreetly planted his people within the Ning Family to hide his true intentions.

By then, if he could seize the leadership of Sakura Falling, Situ Yufeng’s power would increase significantly, making it easy for him to avenge Ning Chengyuan.

After hearing Situ Yufeng’s explanation, Ning Anbang fell silent.

It was indeed an opportunity.

Becoming the leader of Sakura Falling would bring great benefits to the Ning Family, and if managed properly, they could control half of Sakura Falling’s power. Even the Azure Dragon Commerce would have to show them respect.

”However, Secretary Situ, you said many people have their eyes on Sakura Falling. Could it be that Secretary An is also involved…” Recalling what Situ Yufeng had said earlier, Ning Anbang quickly caught on.

If An Cangsheng was involved, then the risks would be enormous.

After all, An Cangsheng’s power was immense. Even if the Ning Family joined forces with Situ Yufeng, they might not be able to compete.

”Ha ha, Brother Ning, An Cangsheng indeed wants to seize Sakura Falling, but if he acts openly, his ambitions would become too obvious. So, this time he plans to let his son An Shengtian marry the Holy Daughter of Sakura Falling to secretly take control. We only need to disrupt his plan and take advantage of the chaos!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Anbang’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, a direct confrontation with An Cangsheng would be futile, but secretly sabotaging his plan and taking advantage of the chaos could prove beneficial.

After a brief contemplation, Ning Anbang felt this was feasible and was about to agree when someone rushed in hurriedly.

”No, something’s wrong!” The person glanced at Situ Yufeng and swallowed back the rest of their words.

With a stern expression, Ning Anbang said, ”Why the panic? Secretary Situ is one of us. Speak quickly.”

At this moment, Ning Anbang needed to appear magnanimous to show his sincerity to Situ Yufeng.

The servant swallowed nervously and said, ”A group of people has arrived outside. One of them is carrying Mr. Li Zhuifeng. Mr. Li is heavily injured.”

”What?” Ning Anbang stood up abruptly.

Li Zhuifeng!

He was the Ning Family’s greatest support, second only to Ning Xiu Cheng.

And now he was carried back in such a state.

Could something have gone wrong?

”Bang!”

Before Ning Anbang could ask further, there was a heavy thud.

A figure was thrown into the courtyard like a dead dog.

The person lay limp on the ground, twitching as if in a state of severe shock.

”Who dares act so recklessly!” Ning Anbang’s face turned livid as he quickly walked to the courtyard.

He saw many Ning Family members retreating in fear, as if they were terrified of something.

Someone went forward and turned the person over.

When they saw his face, Ning Anbang gasped, ”Mr. Li?”

The person thrown on the ground was indeed Li Zhuifeng.

Ning Anbang felt the blood rush to his head, his body swaying as he nearly fainted.

Although Li Zhuifeng was still alive, he looked as if he only had a breath left in him.

Could it be that their plan had been discovered?

”Quickly, carry Mr. Li away and get him treated!” Ning Anbang quickly regained his composure.

Although he didn’t know how Li Zhuifeng ended up in this state, as long as he was alive, there was hope.

Situ Yufeng also recognized Li Zhuifeng. His face changed slightly, ”Isn’t this Mr. Li? How did he end up like this?”

Watching the Ning Family members hurriedly carry Li Zhuifeng away, Ning Anbang smiled awkwardly, ”Secretary Situ, it looks like my family has some trouble to deal with today. If you don’t mind, could you uphold justice for us?”

As he spoke, Ning Anbang cupped his hands towards Situ Yufeng.

With Li Zhuifeng severely injured and Ning Xiu Cheng still in seclusion, the situation called for Situ Yufeng’s help to prevent any mishaps.

”Ha ha, no problem, no problem!” Situ Yufeng did not refuse.

He needed Ning Anbang’s cooperation, so he had to put up a facade of assistance.

Moreover, this was the Ning Family; what could possibly go wrong here?

Soon, a group of people rushed in from outside.

Many Ning Family members kept retreating, some of them being knocked down and lying on the ground in disarray.

”Who are you people!”

”This is the Ning Family! You must have a death wish!”

The Ning Family members shouted a few futile words.

From the direction of the main gate, a commanding voice rang out, ”Ning Anbang! I, Ye Guichen, have come personally. If you want to kill me, come out and face me!”

”Ye Guichen?” Ning Anbang’s pupils shrank sharply, confirming his suspicions.

Li Zhuifeng’s severe injury was indeed related to Ye Guichen.

”Very well, Ye… You have some guts to come here yourself!”

”Ha ha, what do I have to fear!” Shortly after, Ye Guichen appeared before Ning Anbang, surrounded by Mai Lang and his subordinates.

Ning Anbang recognized Mai Lang immediately, a hint of malice in his eyes, ”Mai Lang, are you trying to support this boy?”

Mai Lang was somewhat known in Qingzhou, also a martial arts expert with similar skills to Ning Anbang’s.

Moreover, he had many men under his command, including some martial arts experts.

If it were only Ye Guichen, Ning Anbang believed he wouldn’t escape today.

But now that Mai Lang was with Ye Guichen, it seemed a bit troublesome.

Mai Lang, however, casually shrugged his shoulders and cupped his hands towards Ning Anbang, ”Apologies, Family Head Ning. Brother Ye has done a great favor for the Mai Family and is my father’s disciple. His matters are my matters. Actually, today I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to mediate and hope you can resolve things peacefully!”

”What do you mean?” Ning Anbang narrowed his eyes, looking at Mai Lang in confusion.

Mediation?

This Mai Lang was known as a brute. How had he become a mediator now?

Furthermore, since he was standing with Ye Guichen, could he be speaking on behalf of the Ning Family?
