My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 817

Naturally, Nan Chen was worried. Nonetheless, he didn't have the nerve to act rashly because he had to consider

Ning Ran's safety.

Ruan Anxi was aware of that fact, which was why he had been speaking arrogantly and fearlessly.

“Let her go. I'll swap places with her,” Nan Chen negotiated.

“No. You're a crafty man full of tricks, and I'm afraid of falling for them. I'm just going to chat with her before

sending her back. Don't follow me. You and I have nothing to talk about anymore,” spat Ruan Anxi disdainfully.

Enraged, Nan Chen barked, “I'm warning you again! This is Flower City! It's not a place where you can do as you

please!”

“I know, I know. I told you I wouldn't hurt her already. That's all I have to say. Bye.” Ruan Anxi grabbed the phone

and hung up the call.

“If you push him too far, things will not end well for you. Don't get too arrogant.” Ning Ran was furious, too.

“That's enough. I don't know why you're defending him when he can't even protect you. Anyway, let's talk business.

Where's Ding Fei?”

“She's your people. Why would I know where she is? Also, how could you fail to locate her when you could find

me?” A mocking smile was visible on Ning Ran's countenance.

“She's a nobody, so the internet doesn't sell any information about her. Besides, with Nan Chen hiding her, it's

unsurprising I'm having a hard time finding her. This is, after all, his territory.” Ruan Anxi was intelligent enough to

guess Nan Chen had a hand in the matter.

“I don't know where she is.”

“Look at you. You're learning bad manners and not telling the truth, too. In that case, I wonder what I'll do with Ding

Fei's parents. They're too old for organ harvest, so I suppose I'll ask my subordinates to beat them to death and

feed them to the dogs.”

Ning Ran sneered, “It's pointless to threaten me with them. They're not my biological parents, after all.”

“You really don't care about them?”

“Nope.”

In response, Ruan Anxi remained silent for a while before nodding. “Fine. I'll ask my men to kill the couple now.”

As he spoke, he grabbed the satellite telephone.

“Ding Fei's the one who pissed you off, yet you want to drag her parents into this. You're even worse than an

animal. Don't you know the phrase 'honor among thieves'? You may be a bad guy, but you should still have some

principles and humanity. Do you think she'll come out if you kill her parents?” Ning Ran was so fierce with her

lecture that she somewhat dumbfounded Ruan Anxi.

“So you do know where Ding Fei is, right? As long as Nan Chen continues to hide her, I won't be able to find her. If

she doesn't care about her parents, why can't I just execute them?” argued Ruan Anxi.

“So you do know where Ding Fei is, right? As long as Nan Chen continues to hide her, I won't be able to find her. If

she doesn't care about her parents, why can't I just execute them?” argued Ruan Anxi.

He makes a good point. However... Ning Ran retorted, “You don't have the right to decide who lives and dies! You're

committing a crime!”

Smirking sinisterly, Ruan Anxi replied, “By your standards, most of the things I did are crimes. I don't really mind

that, though. From my perspective, Ding Fei also committed a crime by stealing my money and hiding. She broke

my rules, so she has to be punished.”

“She can return the money to you, but please just let her go.”

Ruan Anxi pointed at Ning Ran. “I know you're aware of her whereabouts, yet you refuse to tell me the truth. Hand

her over to me, and I'll set her parents free.”

“No. But she can return the money she stole from you.”

Then Ruan Anxi waved his finger. “It's not about the money anymore. She crossed me, so I must penalize her.”

Infuriated, Ning Ran uttered, “Then do what you want!”

She could never stand the type of egotistical people who believed only they had the final say on any matter. If Nan

Chen was already irritating her with that attitude, then Ruan Anxi was definitely testing her patience.

Initially, she planned to talk things out with Ruan Anxi. However, his refusal to negotiate ticked her off so much that

she didn't want to speak with him anymore.

She wasn't worried about what Ruan Anxi would do to her because she was certain Nan Chen would rescue her

soon.

The car suddenly became very quiet.

Resignedly, Ruan Anxi inquired, “Are you angry?”

Ning Ran remained silent.

“I don't understand why you keep helping Ding Fei. She tried to kill you multiple times, and she hates you to the

bone. Why protect her at all?”

His question prompted her to wonder if she should tell him about Ding Fei's pregnancy. Based on what I know about

him, I doubt he'll pity her just because she's pregnant. Yeah, I don't think I'll tell him because it'll be pointless.

It was then the car abruptly stopped. The driver mentioned there were police inspecting cars ahead.

Smiling, Ruan Anxi threatened, “I knew Nan Chen would pull this trick. Tell him that if he acts rashly, that couple is

as good as dead.”

Ning Ran was sick of his manipulation and responded steely, “If they're dead, your life will be taken as payback.”

It was then someone knocked on the door, and that person was none other than Nan Chen.

In response, Ruan Anxi opened the door, allowing Nan Chen to enter.

The moment Nan Chen stepped in, he punched Ruan Anxi.

Ruan Anxi didn't expect him to pick a fight right out of the gate. After he was shoved to the floor, he wanted to grab

the surgical knife on the table. Nonetheless, he was swiftly kicked away before Nan Chen grabbed him by his throat.

“Be careful! He has other knives on him!” reminded Ning Ran.

Just as she spoke, Ruan Anxi pulled out another knife.

Nan Chen, however, was well-prepared because Qiao Zhan had informed him of Ruan Anxi's hidden knives in the

past.

In reality, Qiao Zhan was also in Nan Chen's car, but Nan Chen insisted on taking care of the matter personally.

Nan Chen was acting so impulsively because he was ticked off by what Ruan Anxi said before, that he couldn't

protect and didn't deserve Ning Ran.

That compelled him to prove he was a powerful man, with or without his family background.

Much like any other man, Nan Chen had a competitive streak, and he never wimped out.

Just as Ruan Anxi pulled out his other knife, Nan Chen clamped the former's wrist down.

Then, Nan Chen smashed his knee into Ruan Anxi's chest, causing the latter to release a muffled grunt before

coughing violently.

“If you keep beating me up, I'll ask the driver to trigger the explosives strapped to this vehicle and blow us all up. Do

you two really want to die with me?” Ruan Anxi smirked.

Nan Chen and Ning Ran exchanged a glance.

While they had no idea if Ruan Anxi was telling the truth, they weren't going to take the risk, especially when the

man was capable of anything.

“I'm telling the truth. Both my car and my plane are installed with explosive devices. If I can't escape, I'll take

anyone who obstructs my way down with me. It's something that many people in the underworld know, and it's why

they don't have the guts to approach me because they're all scared of dying!” Ruan Anxi cackled.

Indeed, the most difficult type of people to deal with in the world was the ones unafraid of death.

Nan Chen snatched Ruan Anxi's surgical knife away before letting the latter go.
