Chapter 490
Meanwhile, the same policewoman appeared again with a phone in her hand this time as she showed
the videos to Ning Ran.
“See this? You’re now the most hated celebrity in the city. Even the brand you endorsed is affected
because of you. Nobody is going to hire you anymore when you get out.”
Ning Ran stayed silent. How did this happen? I just signed the contract with Beauty Cosmetics not long
ago. Thispany is under Nanshi Corporation so does that mean their interest is affected because of
me? It must be stressful for Nan Chen. Sh*t. I caused him trouble again.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t tell me you’re still hoping for Nan Chen toe and rescue
you? Please. You’re nothing but a sacrificialmb to the Nan family. They’re busy protecting
themselves now. What makes you think they have time to think of you?” the policewoman mocked.
Ning Ran was losing hope now for she had been there for some time now. If Nan Chen truly wanted to
bail her out, he would have already done so. But he had not appeared even until now.
Has he given up on me? Maybe the problem is too serious that he has to sacrifice me to protect
himself. That’s normal, I guess.
After all, no matter how popr Ning Ran was, she was just another celebrity of Star Entertainment in
the eyes of those who thought celebrities were nothing special.
Celebrities were only a tool for entertainment andpanies would not hesitate to sacrifice them for
their own benefits.
I thought Nan Chen was different but it seems like I was wrong. He’s handsome and rich. I guess it’s
easy for him to rece me with some other woman. I’m too naive.
The policewoman was secretly overjoyed when she noticed Ning Ran’s solemn expression. I finally
knocked some sense into her.
“This is how the rich always behaves. Don’t take it to your heart. Though the Nan family sacrificed you,
you’re pretty and talented. I believe it’ll be easy for you to relocate and find a new boss. It doesn’t
matter who your boss is because I know you’ll be sessful no matter what, so you have to be wise
enough not to let anything happen to you in here.”
How sweet. She even gave me advice.
“If I say that, will you let me go?”
“Of course. I’m a woman of my words. I already told you the reason very clearly that day. Don’t make
me repeat it,” replied the policewoman.
“I don’t think you have that power, though. It’s not like I don’t believe you but releasing me is a huge
matter, and only those who have higher positions can do that. I don’t know who you are because you
always have a mask on, and I’d be dumb if I were to believe you blindly.”
“If I were to smear Nan Chen, you have to convince me that there’s someone who can keep me safe
once the deal is done. Otherwise, people will kill me very easily. I’d rather die here instead,” said Ning
Ran calmly even though she was feeling the exact opposite on the inside.
The policewoman was infuriated by Ning Ran’s words. “I told you I have the power to decide whether to
release you or not. Why won’t you believe me? What the hell do you want?”
“I want to meet your boss. That person is the one who can have a say in this,” requested Ning Ran.
“Mr. Huang is a Police Commissioner. He’s not someone you can meet just because you say so-” the
policewoman suddenly shut her mouth upon realizing what she just said.
“So his surname is Huang. Is he the Commissioner himself or the Deputy?” Ning Ran tried to pry more
answers from her.
“Cut the nonsense. I didn’t say that.” Though the policewoman was wearing a mask, the panic in her
eyes was still noticeable.
“If someone were to get me out, it makes sense for them to be at least a Deputy Commissioner. Only
then will I be at ease. I want to meet him. If he can guarantee my safety once I’m outside, then I’ll agree
to join hands with you to take down Nan Chen.”
“No. He won’t meet you,” the policewoman rejected firmly without second thoughts.
They had obviously discussed this before. Her boss had requested her never to reveal his identity, so
the policewoman knew that it was impossible for him to meet Ning Ran.
“Okay, then. Let me consider it.”
“What else is there to consider? How long are you going to keep doing this? You’re just stalling for time
by this point!”

“Of course not. I just want to make sure. It’s too dangerous for me to go out now so I have to take
precautions,” Ning Ran responded while ring at the other woman.
“You’re running out of time. You’ll be brought to the prosecution if you keep dying, and it’ll be difficult
for you to get out then. You’d better stop considering anything right now,” the policewoman suggested
sternly.
“I’ll decide as soon as possible. In the meantime, I wish to meet someone from the Nan family.” Ning
Ran requested.
“They don’t even care about you anymore, yet you’re still hopeful? You’re really stupid!” shouted the
policewoman furiously.
“That’s not true. I’m just worried about my children and I want to know how they are through the Nan
family. If I know they’re fine, maybe I’ll agree to cooperate with you,” exined Ning Ran.
The policewoman contemted for a moment. “I’ll think about it.”
Ning Ran knew the policewoman had to discuss this with the higher-ups.
Meanwhile, Nan Chen remained in his office even when it was already nine in the evening. Unlike any
other day, he had made many calls today. Usually, his subordinates would do this task while he only
went through the emails. Nan Chen would only personally call someone if the matter at hand was
important.
Jiang Zhe dared not disturb him as he waited outside. However, after receiving a call, he had no choice
but to enter the office.
After Nan Chen ended the call, he stared at Jiang Zhe, signaling thetter to start talking.
“I got a call from the police station. They said Ms. Ding is demanding to meet you,” Jiang Zhe informed.
“Demanding?” Nan Chen frowned.
“Yes. She refused to eat and shouted all day long.”
Hearing that, Nan Chen’s frown deepened. What the hell is wrong with that woman?
“I think she’s panicking seeing that we hadn’t done anything since her arrest. Maybe she thought that
we’d abandoned her,” Jiang Zhe concluded.
“If she’s that dumb then maybe we should indeed abandon her.”
“I’d say it’s reasonable for her to react like that. She ended up there because she had been used of
doing drugs, yet we do nothing to help her. It’s only natural for her to overthink stuff.”
“So you want me to meet her? Don’t you think it’s a bad time for that? We’re falling right into others’
trap if I do that,” Nan Chen voiced out coldly.
“But I think it’s fine for me to meet her.” Jiang Zhe replied.
