Chapter 437
It was indeed strange to celebrate a show that had been suspended, but Nan Chen was a genius. It
was only natural that his thinking was different from most people’s.
Just when the people wereing up with negative spections about the show, Nan Chen actually
had the gall to hold a grand celebration party.
His idea was to send a message to the world and tell everyone that there was nothing wrong with the
show or the actors and actresses. The suspension was temporary, and everything would return to
normal soon.
As the lead actress, Ning Ran was required to attend the party.
As she was now waist-deep in bad publicity, it was rather stressful for her to attend an event like that.
However, Wang Xiaoou reminded her, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going. To be a
superstar, pressure is unavoidable.”
Ning Ran was unconvinced, though. After all, she had never been a superstar before, so there was no
way she could know if it was really unavoidable. If this is really the case, the road to stardom is really
damn hard in my opinion.
Ning Ran was wearing a ck evening dress and stilettos, and they were making her ufortable.
Even so, she couldn’t do anything about it as she was requested by thepany to look her best so
that people would take her seriously. After all, there were many reporters at the event.
As always, Nan Chen, the bigshot, was fashionablyte.
At that point, ady in a waitress uniform approached Ning Ran. “Excuse me, Ms. Ding. There’s a Mr.
Ning Ziqiang who requested to see you, but our security stopped him. He’s making a scene, so we’re
wondering if you could try talking to him?”
Ning Ran was shocked as she wondered what Ning Ziqiang was doing here. This event is too
important. He can’t mess around here, or the consequences could be disastrous.
Without giving it much thought, Ning Ran followed the staff member. After walking a distance, Ning
Ziqiang was still nowhere to be seen, so Ning Ran stopped in her tracks. “Where exactly is he?”
“He’s in a room just up ahead. We’ll be there after making this left turn,” replied the waitress.
“What does he look like?” Ning Ran suddenly inquired.
“He... He looks... “ When the waitress failed to answer, Ning Ran immediately turned around and tried
to make a break for it.
Unfortunately, two men in face masks cut her off at the back.
“Who are you, and what do you want?” Ning Ran took her phone out and was ready to call for help, but
the two rushed forward to snatch the device from her.
Naturally, ady like Ning Ran was no match for two men. Her phone was taken away in the end and
turned off.
“Who the hell are you guys?”
Before Ning Ran could do anything else, one of the men knocked her out before carrying her on his
shoulder. They brought her to a room with a camera set up on a table beside the bed.

There was a direct line in the room to do a live broadcast onto the disy at the party.
“The boss wants you two to drug her and y with her. Make it as obscene as possible, but you have
to watch the time because it won’t take long for people to find you. Evacuate before that happens,”
instructed the fake waitress.
One of the men swallowed hard after checking out Ning Ran’s pretty face and exquisite figure under
the evening dress. We’ve just hit jackpot! Not only do we get to enjoy such beauty, but we’re also paid
to do so.
“Get started now. Remember to evacuate as soon as possible. If you’re caught, don’t let them know
who your boss is.”
“What boss? We don’t even know who he or she is,”ined one of the men.
The fake waitress thought he said made sense, so she left without another word.
“You go first, chief. I’ll watch.”
“Let’s drug her first.”
“But she’s out now. How am I supposed to do it?”
“Just pry her mouth open. Isn’t that obvious?”
“Okay, chief.”
The shorter man grabbed the vial on the bed before approaching Ning Ran to pull her chin.
Just when the man was about to feed Ning Ran the drug, the supposedly unconscious woman
suddenly tilted her head and bit his hand.
“Ouch!”
The man in pain took a step back as Ning Ran shrank to a corner. “Stay back! Or I’ll bite my own
tongue and kill myself.”
Ning Ran did not actually give the threat much thought, for she had only seen the suicide method on
TV.
She had absolutely no idea how to bite the tongue or if she would actually die from it. Not sure if I’ll
ever get the chance to try, but I had to bluff. Let’s see if they’ll see through my act.
The men looked at each other before the shorter one asked, “What do we do now, chief?”
The taller man, who knocked Ning Ran out earlier, remained stoic and silent.
“Stop this now!” demanded Ning Ran before inquiring, “Who paid you to do this, and what are you
nning to do with me?”
“We’re going to y a three-yer game and do a live broadcast. We’ll be wearing face masks, but
you don’t have to. As long as you do as you’re told, we won’t kill you,” exined the captors.
“Who asked you to do this, and how much are they paying you? I’ll double it!”
Ning Ran was only trying to stall. I’m the star of the show today, so Nan Chen will definitely notice that
I’m missing. Once that happens, he’lle looking for me.
“We’ve already gotten our money, and we’re men of our word.”
“That’s only because you have no idea what’s going to happen to you next. You’ll be sorry for keeping
your word when you realize you can’t spend your money. You have no idea who I am, do you? I’m Nan
Chen’s woman. That’s right. The legendary Sir Chen! He threw this party today for me. If anything
happens to me, you’re both done for! Nan Chen’s not going to send you to jail because that’s not his
style. He’ll break your limbs and make sure you’ll eat through a straw for the rest of your life. You’ll be
buying wheelchairs with your money and...”
“Shut up!” shouted the taller man, who was also the smarter one. Evidently, he realized that Ning Ran
was stalling.
“I’m only telling you this for your own good. You’ll definitely regret this if you go through with it,” insisted
Ning Ran.
“Stop talking to her. Just drug her!”
“But what if she really kills herself?”
“This is not a TV show, and I don’t think she’s ready to die just yet. So just do it!”
With that, the man rushed towards Ning Ran, who screamed and dodged away.
However, she could only evade the two men for so long in the small room.
“Don’t do it. You’ll regret this.”
“Shut up and take the drug!”
Bang!
Somebody kicked the door and made a loud noise.
“Someone’s here, chief! What do we do?”
“Whoever it is, we can take him. Then we’ll go back to our business.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door was finally kicked open, and a man in ck rushed in.
Ning Ran was relieved to see Nan Chen, but her face fell when she noticed the man came alone
empty-handed. How is he going to fight them like that?
