My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 777

Ruan Anxi picked up Ning Ran's phone and saw the name on the screen was “Captain Qiao.”

“He's the one protecting you?” he asked.

Ning Ran made no reply. She had no idea how he managed to guess it.

“Who are you that someone even protects you?” Ruan Anxi pressed on.

Still, Ning Ran remained silent.

“Are you that woman with the surname Lu? You can mobilize special forces?” he asked, looking suspiciously at Ning Ran.

“I'm not. Truly.”

“Then who are you? If you don't say, I'll slit your throat—”

Before Ruan Anxi could finish his words, Qiao Zhan's voice rang from outside. “Madam!”

As Ning Ran didn't pick up the phone, Qiao Zhan realized something was amiss and came in too.

She was just about to respond when Ruan Anxi pressed a scalpel against her neck.

Immediately, she didn't dare to reply.

Qiao Zhan had already entered, and upon realizing the lights weren't on, he tried finding the switch while shouting, “Madam, where are you?”

Ning Ran dared not make a sound in the darkness because if she did, it would be her last sound. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Soon, Qiao Zhan stopped yelling.

Having trained in the army for a long time, he was a professional, so he had already sensed danger and knew Ning Ran was in trouble.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, the door to the study room was kicked open and Qiao Zhan dashed in like a leopard.

In the darkness, Ruan Anxi wrapped his arms around Qian Zhan as if he were a snake, and before the latter could react, a scalpel was pressed against Qiao Zhan's throat.

Qiao Zhan had sensed there was danger inside, but he had no choice but to enter.

Moreover, he was confident in his speed and strength, but he didn't expect Ruan Anxi to be even speedier and nimbler, like a phantom.

Qiao Zhan was strong, but Ruan Anxi was like a poisonous snake, cold and sinister.

A leopard was much stronger than a snake, but that didn't mean the snake would be at a disadvantage.

“Don't move. If not, you'll die,” Ruan Anxi hissed.

Qiao Zhan obeyed and put up his hands.

He couldn't resist or give up his life, as Ning Ran would be in trouble if he died.

By rushing in recklessly, he could draw Ruan Anxi to attack him, giving Ning Ran the opportunity to escape, and he actually succeeded.

“Madam, you go first,” Qiao Zhan declared grimly.

“No, I—”

“Go!” Qiao Zhan roared.

“You're so loyal. That's great, but she can't go. If she moves, I will cut your throat, then catch up to her and cut hers. You will both die. Answer my question, and don't provoke me. That way, you may both live,” Ruan Anxi threatened menacingly.

“Go ahead.”

“Is her surname Lu? If she isn't, who is she?”

Qiao Zhan didn't dare reply, as he didn't know what was the correct way of responding.

“Speak! If you lie, I will kill him!”

Ruan Anxi pressed the scalpel harder, and the sharp blade cut Qiao Zhan's skin, showing blood.

“No, I'll tell you. I'm Ding Mi, an actress,” Ning Ran hurriedly replied.

“Actress? Madam? You're Nan Chen's woman?”

I'm screwed. I thought it would be fine if I gave him my stage name. I didn't expect to involve Nan Chen too.

Ruan Anxi didn't know Ning Ran and had never seen her before, but he knew from Ding Fei that Nan Chen's lover was an actress and was currently shooting in Livingsfill.

This guy calls her “Madam,” so she must be no ordinary person. Now that she mentioned she is an actress, she's likely Nan Chen's lover.

Ruan Anxi was highly influential in underground circles in South East Aploth. Not only was it because of his ruthlessness, but it was also due to his intelligence. If not, he would have long been killed long ago.

Before Ning Ran could reply, Ruan Anxi had already started laughing. He knew he was right.

“How coincidental that I come across Nan Chen's woman. Let's go.”

Go? Where though? Ning Ran and Qiao Zhan were both confused.

“You're Nan Chen's bodyguard? You're good at your job, but you must die because I'm taking her,”

Ruan Anxi suddenly uttered.

Realization dawned upon Qiao Zhan. Ruan Anxi was planning on kidnapping Ning Ran.

“You can't kill him! Not only is he Nan Chen's bodyguard, but he's also a friend! If you kill him, Nan Chen will never let you off! I won't let you take me away too!” Ning Ran screamed.

“Even if he's Nan Chen, I can kill him if I want. Moreover, he's not Nan Chen, but a friend of his... Ahem, ahem, ahem...”

Before Ruan Anxi could finish his sentence, he started coughing so violently that his body shook.

However, he still kept his hand holding the scalpel against Qiao Zhan's neck.

Seeing a chance, Ning Ran grabbed the duster on the desk and stabbed it in Ruan Anxi's eyes.

Ruan Anxi had to dodge, and the instant he moved, Qiao Zhan immediately bent down and slammed his head against Ruan Anxi.

As Ruan Anxi was scrawny, he could not hold up against Qiao Zhan's powerful headbutt and fell backward. However, he swiftly swung the scalpel before he landed on the ground, and it cut Qiao Zhan's arm, drawing blood.

The next second, Qiao Zhan pounced on him and kicked away his scalpel before throwing punch after punch with his huge fists.

Ruan Anxi coughed even more profusely, and under Qiao Zhan's ferocious attacks, he could no longer

support himself and collapsed against the ground, panting as blood dribbled down his mouth.

“Enough, stop hitting him. If not, he'll die,” Ning Ran advised.

“He deserves to die! How dare he hurt me with a blade!” Qiao Zhan stomped on Ruan Anxi.

“Don't kill him. He looks like he's on the verge of death. It seems like he's ill, and he suddenly had an attack,” Ning Ran advised again.

“Fine, I'll listen to you.” Only then did Qiao Zhan let Ruan Anxi go.

“What do we do about him now? At the state he's in, I'm afraid he'll die if we don't send him to the hospital,” Ning Ran commented with a frown.

“We can't let him die in Ms. Lu's room. It will jinx her house. Let's carry him out,” Qiao Zhan declared before lifting Ruan Anxi up from the ground.

Ruan Anxi was very skinny and light, so when Qiao Zhan dragged him across the floor, it seemed like Qiao Zhan was dragging a snake.

“Let's hand him over to the police and let them treat his illness. If not, he will die,” Ning Ran suggested.

“Madam, don't be so kind. Just let him die. Judging from how skilled he is with a scalpel, he must be Ruan Anxi if I'm not wrong. However, I didn't expect the notorious “Doctor” of the criminal underworld of South East Aploth to be so sickly.”

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran was stunned. She had heard Nan Chen mention Ruan Anxi before.

“So he's Ruan Anxi. I heard he's very influential and ruthless, like a devil.”

“Yes, he is a devil, so he deserves to die.”

“But he's a life. If he dies here, we'll also get into trouble. We should call him an ambulance. After he is treated, it depends on the police how they want to deal with him. We have no right to take his life,” Ning Ran insisted.
