Ruan Anxi sat down.
He was seemingly showing Ning Ran respect and was not going to take action against Qiao Zhan.
Ning Ran sat down as well and looked at Qiao Zhan before saying, “Go back first.”
However, Qiao Zhan refused to leave. Since he came with Ning Ran, he was not going to leave without her.
“Didn't you hear what she said? Are you really planning to stay for dinner?” said Ruan Anxi with disdain.
In a low voice, Qiao Zhan responded, “I'm going to stay and protect Madam.”
Ruan Anxi laughed wickedly. “What a joke! Do you really think you can protect her? If you could, then I wouldn't have been able to take her all the way here, am I right?”
His words hurt Qiao Zhan's ego.
In all honesty, it was not Qiao Zhan's fault that Ruan Anxi managed to abduct Ning Ran. Back then, Qiao Zhan had beaten Ruan Anxi so badly that the latter had collapsed on the ground. All it took was a few more punches from Qiao Zhan to cripple Ruan Anxi.
However, Ning Ran felt sorry for the man and stopped Qiao Zhan. As a result, Ruan Anxi got the chance to make a comeback.
He feigned unconsciousness and pounced on Qiao Zhan, wielding a scalpel that he had kept hidden.
Although it was not Qiao Zhan's fault, the fact that his protectee got kidnapped was still an insult to his title as a professional bodyguard.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Ruan Anxi's mention of that matter was definitely a slap in Qiao Zhan's face.
Qiao Zhan's expression changed.
Obviously, Ruan Anxi understood the nature of people like Qiao Zhan. Men like them shared the same characteristic. They resolved problems using force and violence.
Therefore, he purposefully mentioned Qiao Zhan's failure to protect Ning Ran in order to humiliate him.
“Go to hell!” yelled Qiao Zhan, pointing at Ruan Anxi.
“How insolent?”
“So what if I am insolent? D*mn you! You're a pervert! Sissy!”
Qiao Zhan lashed out at Ruan Anxi viciously, but since Ning Ran was around, he watched his language. Otherwise, vulgarities would have spilled out from his mouth.
Ning Ran was flabbergasted. I finally managed to smooth things over just a while ago. Why is Qiao Zhan suddenly so angry? He's even yelling insults at Ruan Anxi. He'll infuriate Ruan Anxi with his actions. Does he not know that?
Of course, Qiao Zhan was aware of that.
Then again, he was not bothered about that because he could tell that Ruan Anxi would not hurt Ning Ran. That was why he had no qualms about provoking Ruan Anxi.
If Ruan Anxi made a move, Qiao Zhan was prepared to fight him to the death. The incident would be resolved once he got rid of Ruan Anxi.
Not only would he have solved the problem, but he would also clear his name and prove his worth as an outstanding bodyguard.
For someone like Qiao Zhan, pride and dignity were more important than his own life.
Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Qiao Zhan was prepared to die.
Ning Ran was unaware of what Qiao Zhan was thinking and thought that he was being too rash. Ruan Anxi, on the other hand, knew what was going on.
In the past, Ruan Anxi was just like Qiao Zhan. He could understand how Qiao Zhan felt, but there was no way he would let the latter have his way.
Ruan Anxi managed to make a comeback and did not want to risk his life. As such, he would not want to get into a fight with Qiao Zhan.
“I won't pick a fight with you. Go on. After we chat for a while and return to the city for a meal, this matter will be over,” said Ruan Anxi as he waved his hand.
“No way! I won't leave!” Qiao Zhan refused to budge.
Ning Ran began to panic. What's going on? Why is he not listening to me? Why is he causing a ruckus?
“If you carry on with your insults, then don't blame me for not showing you mercy!” Ruan Anxi was losing his patience.
“Sicko! F*ck you!” Qiao Zhan continued to taunt him.
A murderous look flashed across Ruan Anxi's eyes. This time around, Qiao Zhan had really infuriated him.
Even though Ruan Anxi had no wish to get into a fight with Qiao Zhan, he could not tolerate such verbal abuse from Qiao Zhan either.
Ning Ran quickly stood in front of Qiao Zhan and said, “Hey! That's enough. Stop it. A grown man like you shouldn't be scolding someone as if you're a raving mad woman. This is so unbecoming!”
It was only then Qiao Zhan stopped.
However, he did not leave. Instead, he stood his ground and stared fiercely at Ruan Anxi.
He had already made up his mind. If Ruan Anxi dared to charge at him, Qiao Zhan was prepared to finish him.
Even if it meant that he would perish as well, he swore to himself that he would get rid of Ruan Anxi before he died.
“Go and wait for me outside. There are still a lot of people who need your protection,” coaxed Ning Ran in a gentle tone.
Yet, Qiao Zhan still refused to leave.
“I'll handle everything here. Please go, okay? Are you not obeying my instructions because Nan Chen isn't here, or do you plan to continue with your antics and cause someone to die?” Ning Ran was getting anxious.
Only then did Qiao Zhan realize that he might be able to take out Ruan Anxi by sacrificing his own life, but Ruan Anxi still had plenty of subordinates around.
Even if Ruan Anxi died, there was still no way Ning Ran could escape.
With the planes hovering above them, it was only natural that Ruan Anxi's men would keep Ning Ran in their custody. Otherwise, they would not be able to get away.
Worst case scenario, Ruan Anxi's subordinates would murder Ning Ran in order to avenge their boss and end their own lives afterward.
Those men were outlaws, and there was nothing they would not dare to do.
“Okay, I'll go. But, please don't hurt Madam,” said Qiao Zhan.
“Enough. Get lost. Stop gibbering here,” said Ruan Anxi, dismissing him in contempt.
Qiao Zhan glanced at Ning Ran, and she gestured for him to leave.
Reluctantly, he left, dragging his feet.
Ruan Anxi smiled. “Ah, finally, it has quieted down, and things are back to normal again. It's only the two of us, and those annoying people are finally gone.”
“Will you continue to hold me in your custody?” asked Ning Ran.
“No. You didn't disappoint me when you came in by yourself, so I won't make things difficult for you. We'll start our journey back to the city for a meal before we part ways. I hope to meet you again in the future,” said Ruan Anxi.
That's it? After dinner, we will part ways? Is it really that simple? Ning Ran's heart was racing.
“If you don't mind, please dismiss the planes. They are too noisy and disrupt my peace. I promise you that I won't hurt you. Deep down, you know very well that I won't hurt you. I just don't like it when people lie to me,” Ruan Anxi added.
“All right. I'll give Nan Chen a call right now and tell them to leave,” Ning Ran agreed.
After the call went through, the planes left, but Nan Chen did not leave. He was still waiting outside the homestay.
“It's good that you trust me. The bread that I gave you actually contains a type of chronic poison, and only I have the antidote. If you don't return or lie to me, you will die after one week. There won't be any symptoms in the next few days. After that, you will die in your sleep,” said Ruan Anxi with a smile.
Ning Ran was startled to hear that though she was not sure if he was telling the truth or not.
“If you don't believe me, do a blood test once you get back. Then, you will know. Of course, I'll tell you the formula for the antidote. You can obtain the ingredients from most pharmacies. I'm a doctor after all and a good one at that,” said Ruan Anxi.
Ning Ran was sweating profusely. He's truly a devil!
