My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 820

Half an hour later, Qiao Zhan brought Ruan Anxi to the underground snooker bar.

At that moment, it was early in the morning. Initially, Ruan Anxi was feeling a little drowsy, but not anymore.

“Are you kidnapping me right now? Are you aware of the consequences of your actions?” Ruan Anxi questioned grimly.

His presumptuous attitude pisses me off. It seems he still doesn't understand he's in Flower City, not M Nation's forest. No matter how powerful or influential he is in South East Aploth, he can't use any of it here. There's a saying that one can't win without their home advantage, yet this guy has the gall to threaten Ning Ran again in Flower City. It's only natural Nan Chen is furious that such a thing happened in his territory. However, some matters are too inconvenient for him to handle personally, which is when I come out. I was prepared to keep playing with Ruan Anxi, pressuring him to stay in his vehicle until his food supply was exhausted. I didn't expect he would get so agitated that he left the vehicle. It certainly saved me a lot of trouble. When I caught him, I almost laughed out loud. Who would've thought it would be that easy? As Qiao Zhan's train of thought ended there, he noticed Ruan Anxi was still putting up an act.

In response, he grabbed a bottle of wine and glugged two mouthfuls of it.

Ruan Anxi watched him drink like that with disdain and frowned. “Such a boorish way of drinking will hurt your body! You have no taste.”

“If you keep yapping, I'll crack your head like an egg with my fist!” Qiao Zhan pointed at Ruan Anxi as he yelled.

Ruan Anxi shook his head. What a vulgar, uncivilized man. He doesn't even have the discipline to be a bad guy. He'll attack someone if he wants to hurt them, and he swears like a crass, drunken sailor.

“What are you shaking your head for? Do you really believe you're the king of South East Aploth? Don't forget; this is Flower City, China. I can't tell whether you're crazy or stupid to cause trouble here.” Qiao Zhan took another swig.

With a grin, Ruan Anxi questioned, “Do you have the guts to kill me?”

That ticked Qiao Zhan off because he knew he didn't.

“If you kill me, my subordinates will avenge me, regardless of the consequences. Rivers of blood will flow in Flower City and the Nan residence!”

“You're overthinking it. Once you're dead, your subordinates will scatter. Who'll avenge you then?” scoffed Qiao Zhan.

“Now that's something you don't understand. If I really am dead, someone will avenge me. Give it a try if you don't believe me, but many people will die.” Then Ruan Anxi cackled again.

“Now that's something you don't understand. If I really am dead, someone will avenge me. Give it a try if you don't believe me, but many people will die.” Then Ruan Anxi cackled again.

He really is a demon. Even though he's my captive right now, and I can squash him like an ant at any moment, he's still utterly fearless. It's as if he doesn't care that he's in danger right now. Argh! I hate his stupid, arrogant face! I want to punch him so badly, but if I do that, I may accidentally kill this weak b*stard, which will be troublesome. As hateful thoughts crossed Qiao Zhan's mind, he handed a phone to Ruan Anxi. “Call your subordinates and tell them to release Ding Fei's sh*tty parents now.”

Ruan Anxi didn't take the phone. “What do you mean by 'sh*tty parents'?”

“It means I don't like them. If not for Mrs. Nan's orders, I wouldn't give a d*mn if they die or not.”

That roused Ruan Anxi's interest. “Why do you dislike them? Is it because they mistreated Ning Ran before?”

“I'm not interested in chatting with you. Tell your subordinates right now to release them!”

Ruan Anxi chuckled. “Do you really think I'll listen to you? If you want to kill me, just kill me. Ask someone else to do it if you don't have the guts to.”

In response, Qiao Zhan raised his fist in anger again. “You...”

“I suggest you refrain from attacking me. I'm pretty weak, after all. If you accidentally kill me, you and Nan Chen will be in a lot of trouble. Hahaha!” Ruan Anxi was acting so arrogantly that one might mistake him as the captor and Qiao Zhan as the prisoner.

“Fine. While you may not want to call them now, you will soon enough. Keep your eyes on him. Don't let him escape or drink any water,” Qiao Zhan ordered his subordinates.

“Understood.”

The next day in the afternoon, after Ning Ran finished her meeting at Star Entertainment, she called Qiao Zhan and asked him about Ruan Anxi.

Qiao Zhan was hesitant to answer her questions, so it took a while before she learned Ruan Anxi was in the snooker bar.

From him, she learned that Ruan Anxi refused to talk to anyone and demanded to speak only to her.

Believing that keeping Ruan Anxi in continued captivity wouldn't be a great idea, she asked Qiao Zhan to arrange a meeting between her and Ruan Anxi.

She was aware of Ruan Anxi's personality. Even if Qiao Zhan confronted or even killed him, it wouldn't solve the problem.

While she wasn't sure if her conversation with Ruan Anxi would be beneficial, she was certain she would yield better results than Qiao Zhan.

Qiao Zhan didn't have the final say on the matter since Ruan Anxi was a dangerous man. Thus, he asked Nan Chen for permission. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Upon receiving Nan Chen's approval, Qiao Zhan went to Raining Pavilion to pick up Ning Ran.

Even though Qiao Zhan remained quiet throughout the entire journey, she was certain he had some opinions he was bottling up.

“If you have something to say, just say it,” she proposed.

The moment he started speaking, he was enraged. “I just don't understand why you want to help someone as evil as Luo Fei. Now, we have a big problem on our hands, and we have to take care of her parents, too. Ruan Anxi's a stubborn mad dog. When he said he was only willing to talk to you and no one else, I was so anxious that, on multiple occasions, I wanted to beat him to death!”

It seems like he has no idea how to handle Ruan Anxi, which is what I expected. How can you threaten someone fearless of death? It's not like we can take lessons from his cruelty and remove his organs one by one.

Ning Ran comforted, “Since you know he's a mad dog, you shouldn't get yourself worked up. It's not worth it. As for Luo Fei, she's pregnant right now. If not for her baby, I wouldn't have helped her. The consequences will be dire if we hand her over to him at this moment. Just think of helping her as an act of goodwill. I know you're a man with a strong sense of justice, Chief Qiao. Are you willing to watch Ruan Anxi destroy an unborn life?”

Qiao Zhan's mood was greatly lifted when he heard her praise him for having a strong sense of justice and calling him “Chief Qiao.”

“You're a kind person, Mrs. Nan. However, don't put up with that mad dog too much. Please don't listen to him if he makes any outrageous demands,” he reminded.

She assured, “Of course. Since he's in your custody at the moment, I won't be threatened by him. Heck, he couldn't even threaten me when he kidnapped me. Furthermore, we have the initiative right now. Don't worry, I got this.”

“Mhm, I believe in your ability.”
