Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1732 - 1721: Peanuts or Mount Hua

"Really?"Looking at the colorful packaging bags, Rachel said in a mock-serious tone, "Alright. I forgive you this time."

"So, can you tell me now?"

"Tell you what?"

"Didn't you just say Ma Fei'er wouldn't be coming back?"

"Yes. She mentioned she was going home."

Just as she said that, Rachel changed her tune, "It seems someone else wanted her to go home."

Ander interjected, "Rachel, take your time and explain things clearly."

"That day, Ma Fei'er came to submit her task, and I happened to be the one assisting her. Then I noticed she seemed to be arguing with two men."

"Arguing with people? Were they other Hunters?"

Rachel flew around a bit before saying, "Those two humans weren't Hunters, they came in the same way you did."

"It seems like people from the Ma Family were sent."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan couldn't help but glance at Ander.

Ander, realizing he had misspoken, looked a bit awkward and then fell silent.

"What were they arguing about?"

"It was about going home. Ma Fei'er said she didn't want to go home, but those two kept talking about some orders, and then they left."

"So she really went home."

Upon hearing this news, Ning Fan felt a mix of emotions—some relief, some heaviness.

Going home at least proved there was no danger, but at the same time, it indicated that the chances of seeing Ma Fei'er again were slim.

Thinking about this, Ning Fan couldn't help but look at Ander; the Exorcism Association would surely have information about the Ma Family.

"Mr. Ander, can you tell me where the Ma Family is?"

Ander hesitated, "I'm sorry. I really can't disclose that information."

Ning Fan gave a bitter smile, "I understand."

An organization that's been standing strong for a thousand years depends not just on its power but also its credibility.

Otherwise, who would dare deal with the Exorcism Association in the future?

"I know. Why not ask me?"

Hearing this, Ander frowned and couldn't help but chide, "Rachel..."

Before he could finish, Ander suddenly realized that Rachel wouldn't have access to such information.

Rachel, feeling guilty, said, "Chairman... I..."

"It's fine."

Ander smiled and shook his head, silently stepping aside.

Rachel's hearsay didn't violate the association's rules, so it wasn't forbidden.

Seeing Ander not intervene, Ning Fan's eyes showed a trace of gratitude.

Although he didn't understand the reason, Rachel was still an employee of the Exorcism Association.

If Ander had intervened, she wouldn't dare speak out.

Ander suddenly said, "You guys chat first, I have some matters to attend to."

"Take care, Chairman."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Ander."

"Mr. Ander, take care."

For a moment, Ning Fan felt even more fond of this interesting Ander.

"Lovely Rachel, can you tell me now?"

Rachel, munching on her chips, said between bites, "What should I say?"

"Are you really clueless, or just pretending to be? How can such a muddlehead be a receptionist?"

Ning Fan silently grumbled, then mustered his most amicable smile, "Lovely Rachel, didn't you just say you know where the Ma Family is?"

"I don't know."

Ning Fan nearly choked on her words but managed to hold it in and patiently said, "Then what do you want to tell me?"

"I remembered. That day they kept saying they were going to go to Huashan, but Miss Ma said she didn't want to go, then eventually agreed."

Listening to Rachel pronounce it awkwardly in Huaxia, Ning Fan was completely confused, "Huashan? Is there a place with that name?"

Alice, equally puzzled, asked, chewing over the words, "What's Huashan?"

"A kind of snack..."

"It seems like the name of a mountain peak."

A realization hit Ning Fan, and he said excitedly, "Were they talking about Mount Hua?"

Rachel brightened up, "Yes! Yes! That's it, Huashan."

"Wonderful. Thank you. You've been such a big help to me."

Seeing Ning Fan's elated expression, Alice felt a strange feeling in her heart, followed by a question popping into her mind,

"Doesn't he already have a wife? What's Ma Fei'er's relationship to him? A lover?"

Alice shook her head, not dwelling on the question too much.

Having a wife and also a lover—despite thinking such matters weren't right, Alice wasn't too concerned about them.

In the Blood Clan, such things were common; as far as she knew, her father had several lovers himself.

"It's like searching high and low only to find it effortlessly."

This news was like a shot in the arm for Ning Fan.

Huaxia is so vast that finding the Ma Family's residence would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but having a rough direction made it much easier.

Even if Mount Hua is big and the Ma Family's Secret Realm is deeply hidden, putting in effort could still uncover some clues.

At this moment, Alice asked softly, "Ning Fan, are you leaving?"

Feeling great, Ning Fan smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because..."

Alice didn't know how to express the rest.

Ning Fan originally came for Huo Qiuran, and later, knowing about the Exorcism Association, he came here.

Now that both matters were settled, Alice couldn't think of any reason Ning Fan would stay here.

Seeing Alice's silence, Ning Fan laughed, "It's not often I come to Ryan Town, so of course, I have to take a few days to enjoy it."

Alice's eyes showed a trace of surprise, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true."

Alice accompanied him to Ryan Town, and now that they had just arrived, Ning Fan wouldn't abandon her so easily.

"Alright. I'll be your tour guide and show you the sights of Ryan Town."

"Count me in too."

The lively Rachel fluttered about excitedly.

"Don't you have to work?"

"As you can see, there's no one here now."

Rachel looked helplessly at the empty hall and then sighed, "By the time the last batch of Hunters returns, we might be out of a job."

"It's okay; you can come with me then."

Rachel shook her head, "Alice, thank you, but I'll stay here."

"Why? Haven't you been here for seventy years? Doesn't it get boring?"

Hearing the number, Ning Fan was taken aback, "Why does an Alien Clan child suddenly become decades or even a hundred years old?"

In many ways, the Alien Clan is indeed stronger than humans.

Yet, ultimately, humans became the dominant species on this planet, pushing the Innate-strong Alien Clan to the margins.

Thinking about this, Ning Fan felt the irony of fate.

Seeing Rachel's silence, Alice smiled and enticed her, "You know there are a ton of chips you love outside!"

Under the lure of food, Rachel was visibly tempted, flapping her wings faster, but in the end, she firmly shook her head.
