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 990: Beauty Trap

"It's a very familiar scene!"

In the car, Wigginton looked at the scene in front of him and chuckled.

Everyone has now arrived at the outskirts of the headquarters.

Interestingly, at this time, in front of the headquarters of Region B, there were rows of neatly dressed soldiers, as if lining up to welcome them, watching their car move forward.

This scene had happened before in District A.

In order to show his sincere surrender, Soko specially arranged a similar welcoming team.

However, Ning Fan did not seem to have informed Pei Hongshen in advance about his visit to the headquarters of Region B.

But this is within the territory of District B after all.

Even if Pei Hongshen lost some of his control, he was still in the position of district chief.

In addition, Ning Fan and his group did not deliberately hide their whereabouts along the way, so it was not surprising that the other party knew about their itinerary.

"Great Commander."

Mingx turned around and asked Ning Fan what he meant.

“Stop the car.”

Ning Fan said softly, "We have to give this District Chief a chance to welcome us."

Although Mingx didn't know what Ning Fan was going to do, he nodded and parked the car steadily in front of the welcoming team.

To be honest, even though there were a lot of people on the other side, Minx was not panicked at all.

The lineup behind me is so solid.

It was so solid that he didn't even have a chance to shiver.

After parking the car, Minx immediately got out and opened the door for these big guys.

After several people got off the car, Ning Fan walked in front, followed by Wigginton and Guan Shanyue on both sides, and Tian Zhihe and Lian Teng followed closely behind.

At the same time, the welcoming team in front split to both sides, and a beautiful girl, pushing a wheelchair, slowly walked out from outside the crowd.

"Director Pei Hongshen of District B respectfully welcomes Commander Ning!"

The person sitting in the wheelchair was a man who looked extremely frail.

The man's hair was sparse, with only a few white hairs fluttering in the wind.

But at this moment, his face was flushed as if it were a last gasp of life.

He was the one who shouted just now.

Just shouting like that made his breathing heavy.

"It's quite touching that he can still hold on to greet you in this state."

Lian Teng in the back said with a smile.

Ning Fan also smiled and then walked towards Pei Hongshen.

Pei Hongshen tried his best to sit upright in the wheelchair, but he was indeed limited by his physical discomfort and failed after several attempts.

"Chief District Officer Pei?"

Ning Fan brought his men to Pei Hongshen and asked with a smile.

"Exactly."

Pei Hongshen pointed at his body with a wry smile: "The commander-in-chief has also seen my body. I really can't..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ning Fan smiled amiably, "That's thoughtful of you."

"It should be."

Pei Hongshen nodded respectfully at Ning Fan and said, "You are so honored to have come here, Commander-in-Chief. I have prepared food and wine for you and everyone else. If you don't mind, I hope you can stay for a few more days."

"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful."

Ning Fan did not refuse.

Pei Hongshen's eyes immediately flashed with excitement.

"Xiaoying, why don't you invite the commander-in-chief to your home?"

The beautiful girl behind him immediately walked up to Ning Fan and bowed slightly: "Commander-in-Chief, please..."

Lian Teng and Tian Zhihe, who were released last, looked at each other.

Lian Teng chuckled and shook his head slightly.

Ning Fan looked up and down at the girl named Xiaoying.

She was about twenty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with a good figure and excellent looks.

Her voice was very sweet, but it didn't sound like she was trying to force it, it was just a natural honey voice.

"Trouble."

Ning Fan returned the greeting softly.

Xiaoying turned sideways, bent slightly, and made a "please" gesture to Ning Fan.

It's hard to say whether it was unintentional or intentional. Standing at Ning Fan's angle, he could just see her figure that she was proud of more directly.

Ning Fan did not stay for too long, but led his men directly into the headquarters.

Xiaoying stood up and looked at Pei Hongshen.

Pei Hongshen's smile faded a little and he nodded slightly at Xiaoying.

Soon, Ning Fan and the others were escorted to a small building that looked extremely luxurious.

This was the residence Pei Hongshen had specially prepared for Ning Fan, and the banquet was also held here.

In Pei Hongshen's words, instead of going back and forth, it is more convenient to eat and drink at home.

"A honey trap?"

When Ning Fan and the others entered the small building, Lian Teng took advantage of the fact that no one was around to approach Ning Fan and muttered something in a low voice.

Ning Fan looked at Lian Teng, but Lian Teng didn't look at him, as if he was talking to himself.

"Respect yourself!"

Looking at Lian Teng's sarcastic look, Ning Fan smiled bitterly and did not respond to him.

If it were someone else, even if they saw the truth behind it, they wouldn't say much.

But Lian Teng is different.

He is Wen Xiuyuan's friend and has watched Wen Cai grow up since she was a child.

If Ning Fan makes this kind of mistake here, he has to watch out.

I have to say that the banquet organized by Pei Hongshen was indeed grand.

Although Ning Fan rarely managed supplies in Yecheng, he knew that what was on the table were rare and expensive dishes.

During the meal, Pei Hongshen did not mention Lin Song at all, nor did he ask Ning Fan about the purpose of coming to the headquarters. He just chatted with Ning Fan.

Through his introduction, Ning Fan learned that the girl named Xiaoying was Pei Hongshen's granddaughter.

Pei Ying.

Just as Lian Teng had worried, Pei Ying sat next to Ning Fan throughout the meal, pouring wine and picking up dishes for him. Her big eyes were full of affection, almost falling on Ning Fan.

But after all, she was born into a noble family, so Pei Ying did not cling to Ning Fan desperately. On the contrary, she always kept a certain distance from Ning Fan, showing both admiration for the hero and a bit of girlish reserve.

It is worth mentioning that Lian Teng, who has always liked drinking, did not touch a drop of wine today.

Finally, the banquet ended and Ning Fan and others returned to their rooms.

Originally, Ning Fan planned to go to sleep and practice a few moves with Yu Wuke.

Just as I lay down on the bed, the phone suddenly rang.

Ning Fan felt helpless when he saw the person calling.

Wen Xiuyuan.

There is no need to guess that the father-in-law called at this time, it must be Lian Teng who complained to Lao Taishan.

"dad."

Ning Fan answered the phone calmly.

"Um."

Wen Xiuyuan's voice was calm, and it was hard to tell what his mood was: "You haven't rested yet?"

"Just getting ready for bed."

Ning Fan thought that he had behaved properly at the banquet and had not done anything out of the ordinary.

"oh."

Wen Xiuyuan was silent for a moment: "Are you alone?"
