Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 936: The Reason for Checking and Balancing Each Other

After reading the words on the note, Ning Fan raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man did not look up, but stood there like a piece of wood, as if as long as he delivered the note, what happened in the world next would have nothing to do with him.

"you?"

Ning Fan raised his eyebrows: "Who are you referring to?"

The middle-aged man remained motionless and silent.

Ning Fan simply looked around, but there was no one else in the corridor.

After thinking about it, Ning Fan smiled.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Ning Fan headed directly towards the banquet venue.

After Ning Fan came back, there was naturally another round of drinking and toasting.

Two hours later, Ning Fan and Suo Ke finally left the room, hugging each other's necks.

Both of them were drunk, but they knew in their hearts that the other was sober!

"Commander Ning, go to bed early."

Soko was so excited: "Let me know what you want to eat tomorrow and I'll have someone prepare it."

"Isn't this a bit unpleasant? Eating like this every day is too extravagant, isn't it?"

Ning Fan also said hesitantly, "No family can withstand such a disaster!"

"Isn't that a bit too formal, Commander Ning? This entire District A is... No! The entire Lower City is about to become Commander Ning's possession! What's wrong with a little food and drink?"

Soko patted his chest and said, "I really hope Commander Ning can rule the lower city. By then... I'll be considered a veteran!"

"Hahahaha! That day will definitely come!"

On this side, Huizi had already opened the car door for Ning Fan.

"Let's go, I'll take you there!"

Ning Fan waved to Soko from the back seat.

Soko looked at Huizi, who had a cold expression on his face. After a moment's hesitation, he quickly smiled again and said, "No need! I can just take my own car!"

Huizi didn't give Ning Fan a chance to continue inviting him. He simply closed the car door and returned to his driver's seat.

After watching the car drive away, Soko was sure that Ning Fan's men were no longer nearby, and his eyes immediately changed.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

"Keep watching, and report to me if there's any movement."

Soko explained to someone next to him.

The people around him were a little nervous: "Sir, we keep watching like this every day, sooner or later we will be discovered, what if..."

"What do you mean by being discovered sooner or later?"

Soko snorted coldly, "Do you really think the driver and those Thousand Souls around him are just for show? You would have been discovered long ago!"

Last night, Soko sent people to keep an eye on Ning Fan and his group.

And he was sure that the other party should have noticed it when his people appeared around him.

It’s just that everyone can maintain a certain tacit understanding.

Even if Ning Fan came to question him, he could use the excuse of "protecting safety" to get away with it.

As long as the reason is sufficient, Ning Fan will not easily touch him even if he knows he is lying.

From the moment Soko surrendered, he had actually indirectly guaranteed his own safety.

Because Soko had made such a big scene of surrender, if Ning Fan really killed him for no reason and turned against him directly...

So from now on, if Yecheng wants to take over any region, it must use force.

After all, everyone has seen the consequences of surrender.

"This kid is too difficult to deal with."

Soko looked at the vanished car and couldn't help but sigh, "It'll probably take some time for him to take the initiative to provoke Region H."

Originally, Soko felt that given Ning Fan's age, no matter how smart he was or how steady he was in his work, he would still be a little bit arrogant.

Unfortunately, no!

Despite all the compliments and praise, Ning Fan still had no inflated thoughts.

Ning Fan was quite cautious about Region H.

This is the most uncomfortable situation for Soko right now.

On the other side, Huizi turned around and handed a bottle of water to Ning Fan.

After Ning Fan took it and took a sip, he immediately felt much better in his stomach.

"What's this?"

"It's a hangover cure."

Huizi smiled proudly: "Kexin taught me the recipe she learned when she was brewing wine in Yefengkou."

Ning Fan thought of the time when he first arrived at Yefengkou.

Gao Kexin was a winemaker, and Huizi also taught Lu Yuan to be a blacksmith for a period of time.

"Ning Fan, someone is following us."

Huizi gradually became more serious, looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Do you want to get rid of it?"

"Need not."

Ning Fan waved his hand and said, "It's no use shaking them off. They know where we're going."

"This Soko..."

"That's normal."

Ning Fan closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair: "After all, he doesn't really want to surrender."

"Then why should we act with him?"

Huizi was puzzled.

The army is outside now. With just one order, the headquarters will fall in an instant.

Huizi really didn't know what the meaning of Ning Fan's actions was.

"Soko surrendered just to set us up."

Ning Fan said softly, "He acted extremely sincere. On the one hand, he wanted to confuse me and make me lose myself! On the other hand, he wanted to show it to the other regions."

"If we really start a war, the other regions will think that Region A has surrendered, and Yecheng is still trying to kill us all. Then we will have no choice but to fight to the death."

"This will make our goal very difficult!"

"And Soko also understood this, so he didn't care whether I could tell he was feigning surrender or not. He just had to make sure he didn't make any mistakes and didn't give me any chance to attack him, and then he could save his life."

Ning Fan said a few words and Huizi immediately understood.

However, if Huizi had not explained it to Ning Fan, he would probably never have thought of this meaning if he had thought about it on his own.

This kind of game is indeed not suitable for me.

"But I think I'll soon have a reason to move him."

Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes, a smile forming on his lips: "It all depends on when this reason comes in place."

Huizi didn't quite understand what Ning Fan meant.

But even though he was curious, he didn't ask again.

He could see Ning Fan's fatigue.

Let him have more rest while he has this time.

Don't let him waste his energy explaining himself.

After Ning Fan returned to his residence, he took a shower and then lay down on the bed.

I don’t know how much time had passed before the phone on the bedside table rang.

The person who called was Zhang Wenqing.

"Commander Ning, have you rested?"

As soon as Ning Fan heard Zhang Wenqing's attitude, he knew that there must be someone else around him.

Someone who doesn't belong to Yecheng.

After all, in private, Zhang Wenqing would never speak to himself so formally.

Ning Fan stood up and took a sip of water.

"Let him answer the phone."
