Chapter 820
By the time Nan Chen and Ning Ran returned to Raining Pavilion, it was already midnight.
In order to avoid waking the children up, they went straight into their bedroom.
“I'm sorry,” they uttered in near-unison to each other. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“I caused this incident. If I hadn't gotten involved, I wouldn't have provoked Ruan Anxi. Now I know your decision to ignore Luo Fei's matter back then was the correct one. Yet, I didn't listen to you,” Ning Ran said sincerely.
“Let's sleep. It's getting late.” Nan Chen didn't appear to be in the mood for a chat.
“Are you blaming me?”
“You're blaming me too, aren't you?”
“Yes, I am. You shouldn't have agreed to hand Luo Fei to Ruan Anxi. If you do that, her child will become an orphan.”
“Let's solve the matter at hand first. That's the most important thing right now. We can deal with whatever comes next later.”
Ning Ran wanted to speak further, but Nan Chen gestured for her to stop.
After Ruan Anxi sent Nan Chen and Ning Ran back home, he was ready to find a place to rest for the night.
While he was used to living in the vehicle, he didn't like it.
After two exhausting days, he really wanted to have a good rest in a hotel.
He didn't want to piss off Nan Chen in Flower City, but he couldn't help himself. In the end, he was beaten up by Nan Chen and didn't gain any advantage.
It was the biggest loss he had over the past three years.
In spite of that, he wasn't angry because he was confident he could get anything he wanted whenever he desired.
Out of nowhere, the car stopped, and the driver reported that he couldn't shake off the vehicles following them, which were a black jeep and a police car.
“Go and ask them what they want,” Ruan Anxi ordered with fury.
When the driver returned from a meeting with the owners of the cars, he handed a card to Ruan Anxi.
The card read: Head of Security in Nanshi Corporation, Qiao Zhan.
As Ruan Anxi smiled, an image of Qiao Zhan's burly figure entered his mind.
“He asked you to call him.” The driver's face looked a little bruised.
Ruan Anxi grabbed his satellite phone and called the number on the card.
“Speak!” Qiao Zhan's voice was heard on the other end.
“You're the one who asked me to call you. What do you want?”
“I didn't expect you to cause trouble here after what happened in Livingsfill, you son of a b*tch!” Qiao Zhan cursed.
Frowning, Ruan Anxi mused, I hate potty mouths like him. Why do they feel the need to curse when they can act instead? And why does he have to insult my mother? How rude.
Qiao Zhan still felt greatly humiliated by what happened in Livingsfill. The fact that he fell for Ruan Anxi's trick and allowed the latter to snatch Ning Ran from him remained fresh on his mind.
Hence, it was natural that Qiao Zhan was incapable of ignoring Ruan Anxi after the latter arrived in Flower City and caused trouble again.
In fact, Qiao Zhan thought he was being nice when he called Ruan Anxi a son of a b*tch as he wanted to curse the latter's entire family.
“Cease your insults and tell me what you want,” Ruan Anxi requested.
“Come into my car, and I'll do that, you son of a b*tch,” Qiao Zhan spat.
The insult really annoyed Ruan Anxi. “Stop calling me that!”
However, instead of yielding, Qiao Zhan went even further. “But you are a son of a b*tch. Come here, you little f*cker.”
“I won't leave my car. If you order the police to capture me, I'll blow my car up.”
“We're just following you, not capturing you. Stay inside that car of yours forever if you can. If you have the guts to step out of your vehicle, I'll make sure you regret showing off in Flower City!”
Ruan Anxi was speechless. I really hate how crudely he speaks. I much prefer dealing with Nan Chen since he doesn't swear even when he's yelling.
In response, he hung up the phone, opened the mini fridge in the car, and grabbed a tomato to eat it.
He was still pretty ticked off, so he didn't wipe the tomato a few times before eating, which he usually did.
After he finished his tomato, he spoke to the driver. “Keep driving around the city. Don't stop driving, and don't leave the car.”
Then he slept. He could sleep in any environment due to his strong survival capability.
However, he woke up shortly after because the car had to stop at a gas station.
“Are those cars still following us?” Ruan Anxi asked.
“They still are,” replied the driver with resignation.
This isn't good. Qiao Zhan's driving me into a corner. There is still food in the car, but it's limited, and it'll run out eventually. I don't think it's a good idea for me to leave the car and resupply right now because Qiao Zhan will unquestionably use the opportunity to catch me. While I have reinforcements I can summon in the city, and they'll have a good chance of winning, the police will interfere if I start a fight. Should that happen, I'll no longer be a foreign friend to the country without a criminal record. Things are especially bad because this is Flower City, Nan Chen's territory. He can do many things here and utilize plenty of resources. I've really regretted my decision to come here and provoke Nan Chen as well as Qiao Zhan. I should've asked my subordinates to deal with a small fry like Luo Fei. If not for Ning Ran, I wouldn't have personally involved myself in this matter. I wonder why I want to meet with her this badly when she's always impolite toward me, unafraid of me, will attack me at any moment, and curse at me... Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe it's because I find her interesting. It's rare for me to meet a fearless woman who's also as beautiful as an angel. Women with unique personalities tend to leave a strong impression on me, especially when this one is so beautiful. It seems like I care a lot about appearances. After Ruan Anxi's train of thought ended there, he called Qiao Zhan.
However, the one who picked up the phone wasn't Qiao Zhan but his subordinate. “Chief Qiao is asleep. He can't answer your call right now.”
That aggravated Ruan Anxi. I can't believe this! How dare he force me to roam the streets while he's sleeping! I'm the “Doctor”! My name inspires fear in all of South East Aploth! He has some nerve to treat me this lightly!
Hence, he left the vehicle and strode straight to the black jeep and shouted, “I want to see that brute! Ask him to—”
Before he could finish his sentence, the door opened, and Qiao Zhan kicked him to the ground.
Ruan Anxi immediately regretted his rash decision. I'm usually calm and tactful, so why did I leave my vehicle? Is it because I'm sleepy? Is that why I've acted so foolishly?
“Get into the car, you son of a b*tch.” Qiao Zhan immediately dragged Ruan Anxi into the vehicle and tossed him onto the empty seat. “Come on, let's have a chat.”
Smiling, Ruan Anxi coughed and threatened, “You're the son of a b*tch! I'm going to order a hit on your entire family!”
Slap!
Just as Ruan Anxi finished speaking, Qiao Zhan slapped him so forcefully that the former's lips bled.
That made Ruan Anxi feel even more regretful. Why the heck did I leave the car? Why did I pick a fight with this brute? I can't believe he managed to push my buttons and made me lose my cool.
