Chapter 1575 - 1564: The Outbreak of Conflict
When Ning Fan was initially brought to this isolated estate, the Princess had already made such plans.To use this to distract Xu Corporation, not giving Xu Ruolan time to respond.
However, these despicable tricks tarnish the reputation of the Royalty, so all along, an old servant handled communications.
As the time approached, the supervision of Ning Fan would become increasingly strict.
Ning Fan did not understand the calculations behind this; he only knew that he was confined at the moment.
Ning Fan, with a hostile expression, said, "So you're going to keep me under house arrest?"
The old butler responded indifferently, "If Mr. Ning insists on understanding it this way, there is nothing I can do."
Ning Fan gave the old man a meaningful glance and then said coldly, "I am leaving now."
"Mr. Ning, you won't be able to leave."
"Oh really? I'd like to see what kind of den of dragons and chamber of tigers this is."
As Ning Fan strode out the door, the old man's face turned cold, and he threatened lightly, "Good food, fine wine, beautiful women—aren't these days good enough? Why make things difficult for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan was momentarily stunned, although he still did not understand the purpose behind the captivity, he was sure of one thing: there was indeed a conspiracy.
Seeing Ning Fan stop in his tracks, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the old man's eyes, and he softly said, "Mr. Ning, you are just an employee; your trip to the Tai Kingdom was merely based on company orders.
Why not comfortably spend the remaining days here? When the day comes, I will present you with a generous reward, a send-off for you. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
"Why do you have to keep me here?"
Ning Fan's mind raced, then his expression changed, and he blurted out, "You want Xu Corporation to take the fall!"
"I don't understand what you mean."
Despite these words, Ning Fan distinctly saw a flicker of panic in the old man's eyes.
At this moment, Ning Fan understood everything.
Aside from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
Considering Rose's international influence, the incident involving her was like a hot potato.
No matter where it lands, it will surely attract overwhelming criticism.
The last thing the Royalty wants to be tainted by is issues concerning reputation.
Now it involves a star who is in the limelight, and also holds a grudge with the Royalty.
In the eyes of the world regarding the incident of Rose's murder, the most "suspected" parties to have a motive are undoubtedly the Royalty and Xu Corporation.
The Royalty has always been the darkest place.
Besides, rumors have long spread that Rose and the Royalty are not as harmonious as the legends say.
There used to be rumors that the Tai Kingdom had considered accepting Rose as the Crown Princess and demanded that she retire from acting.
This request was opposed by Rose, and the matter ended without a conclusion, hence there is a certain motive from the Royalty.
As for Xu Corporation, although they have no motive, with Rose getting into trouble during their invitation, they naturally bear the responsibility.
If Rose's incident happened in Huaxia, today's situation wouldn't occur.
But she happened to be in the Tai Kingdom, and it was after being picked up by the Royalty that she suddenly fell seriously ill.
Moreover, countless reporters captured the scene of the Royalty's private car picking her up at the airport.
Under this situation, the Royalty could never clear themselves from suspicion.
"No wonder they restricted my communication and prohibited me from seeing Rose..."
Thinking of these past few days, Ning Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
Xu Ruolan still believes that the Princess is wholeheartedly dealing with Rose's situation without considering the Gwan Gong incident.
It is imaginable that when the Royalty shifts the blame, Xu Corporation will be caught off-guard.
At that time, all right or wrong will merely be the words of the Royalty.
The most crucial point is that during negotiations, Xu Xiaoqing often quarreled with Rose.
Ning Fan firmly believes that regarding the scene of their quarrels, the Royalty must have video footage.
This video footage will form a lethal blow, presenting the "murder motive" that people desperately wish to see.
"Nothing is as ruthless as the royal family."
Now, with Rose's life hanging in the balance, the Royalty had already thought out the plan to shift the blame, making Ning Fan feel bitter.
But what angers Ning Fan more is that apart from Xu Corporation, Xu Xiaoqing is bound to fall into a maelstrom of controversy.
With the Royalty's unscrupulousness, they will definitely nail her as the real murderer.
Ning Fan said gloomily, "What a cunning Siam Royalty, your calculations are truly vicious."
The old man panicked, immediately scolding, "How dare you. The Royalty's reputation is not for you to besmirch. Guards!"
As the words fell, guards in the manor rushed in.
"Heh. A clueless fool."
A murderous glint flashed in Ning Fan's eyes, "With just these useless ones, do you think you can pin me down."
"I know you are quite skilled. But have you forgotten what era this is?"
After a sarcastic comment, the old man said murderously, "Ning Fan, I'm giving you a chance now to surrender willingly, or else we're authorized to kill."
Upon hearing the last four words, the soldiers cocked their rifles and released the safety catch.
Facing the Royalty's insidious tricks, Ning Fan had yet to figure out a way to break through.
But Ning Fan understood one principle.
Any conspiracy, under absolute strength, will inevitably be crushed into dust.
"As long as I kill all of you, let's see how you execute your treacherous plans."
Especially to keep him under house arrest, the Royalty chose such a place on purpose.
"Truly a self-spun cocoon, digging one's own grave."
With this in mind, Ning Fan, expressionless, looked at the soldiers as if he was inspecting dead men.
Then, refreshed by a thought, Ning Fan looked up at the northwest camera and flashed a faint smile.
Not just the people in front of him, anyone involved in this matter would not be spared by Ning Fan.
To protect Xu Ruolan and her sister, even if it meant going against a nation, what did it matter?
"Guards, take Mr. Ning back to his room."
Since the masks had fallen, the old man no longer needed to pretend, and disdainfully said, "Anything but death is allowed."
Keeping Ning Fan's life was merely to blindfold Xu Ruolan.
The old man believed that his methods would definitely make Ning Fan obediently cooperate.
Just as the soldiers approached to take action, the manor's broadcast emitted a voice, "Stop!"
"That's the Princess' voice."
The old man was stunned, his expression complex.
He was merely following orders, but his actions had deviated from the Princess's requirements.
The Princess hinted at using gentle methods instead of intimidation or violent threats.
Very soon, a tall woman in a white robe appeared in Ning Fan's view.
The woman was very beautiful, to the point where it would not be an exaggeration to say she was breathtaking, her beauty even surpassed Rose.
Although somewhat dissatisfied with Rose's behavior, Ning Fan still appreciated her charm.
But facing this woman, Ning Fan was filled with disgust, knowing well that beneath this beautiful appearance lay a venomous heart.
Evil cannot be distinguished by size.
Although Rose was also manipulative, compared to the woman before him, she was indeed a minor evil against a great one.
