Chapter 652
Ning Ran''s intention was to support and protect that woman. However, if her actions ended up troubling
her instead, it would be for naught.
She was going to stop and leave, yet it was toote.
A police car had stopped outside the bar, and a few auxiliary police officers came down from the car.
The officers came in and ran toward the man. “Mr. Xiaolong, are you okay?”
“I can''t believe these foreigners had the guts to hit me! Cuff them and lock them up for good!” the man
cried out.
“How dare the few of youmit crimes in broad daylight? Men, take them away!” said the leading
auxiliary police officer.
Instantly, the two bodyguards darted over to shield Ning Ran, wanting to defend her.
“No. We''ll go with them,” Ning Ran said.
I can''t let this matter blow up any further, or else it''ll be troublesome to resolve itter.
“But, Ms. Ning, he''s the one in the wrong!” the bodyguard eximed.
“It''s fine. Let''s go.”
“Officer, this has nothing to do with me. I wasn''t involved in the fight,” Huang Zichao said.
“He''s right. He wasn''t involved in this, so let him go,” Ning Ran chimed in.
Dozens of minutester, Ning Ran and the others were brought to the police station.
Strangely, instead of going through the usual procedures of taking a statement from them, the officers
brought them directly to the cell and left after locking the door.
“Are you not going to investigate this, officer?” Ning Ran asked.
“We''ll talk about this tomorrow. Stay there for now.”
With that, the officer went out, leaving Ning Ran and the singer in the cell.
It was clear that they were going to be in the cell for at least a night, and it was unsure if they could
leave the cell the next day.
“Sorry, Miss. I ended up troubling you,” the singer said with a sigh.
Ning Ran gave her a smile. “It''s fine. You sing well, and I love it. What''s your name?”
“My name is Rong Rong. The first Rong is the Rong of glory, and the second Rong is the Rong of a
hibiscus. You can just call me Rong. Thank you for standing up for me, and I''m sorry to have troubled
you instead.”
“I''m Ning Ran, and it''s a pleasure to meet you. This isn''t your fault. The scumbag''s a bully. But don''t
worry. We''ll be fine,” Ning Ran gently reassured.
“To be honest, I''m not scared. I''m just worried about getting you in trouble,” Rong Rong said before
grinning at Ning Ran, baring her cute canine teeth.
Ning Ran adored the young woman. Somehow, she felt an inexplicable sense of kinship with her.
“I''m not scared too. It''s just one night. What''s the big deal about it? Someone will bail us out soon,”
Ning Ran said.
“Mm, since we''re both not scared, we''ll just ignore him. Oh, are you here for a holiday, by the way?”
Rong Rong asked.
If it were someone else, Ning Ran might not answer truthfully.
However, it was Rong Rong. Ning Ran did not wish to hide anything from her.
“I''m here to film. I''m an actress,” she confessed.
“Oh, no wonder you had professional bodyguards with you. So, you''re a star? I don''t pay much
attention to celebrities, so I don''t know who you are. Sorry,” Rong Rong replied.
“I know. You seem like a unique and independent person. It''s not unusual that you don''t pay much
attention to celebrities. Besides, I''m not a celebrity. I''m just an actress, and acting is my job. You didn''t
know me before, but now you do,” Ning Ran said, chuckling.
“You''re right. I like you a lot too. It feels like we have a lot inmon.”
Rong Rong was someone who liked smiling too. She would always show her cute canine teeth.
“Right, you''re not a regr singer at the bar, are you?” Ning Ran asked.
“How do you know?”
“You''re dressed casually, and you''re not skilled in going with the patrons'' flow, which makes you stand
out. You don''t seem like one of the singers who often perform in bars. Of course, I''m not saying that
those singers are bad. I''m just saying that you seem very differentpared to them. That''s why I
guessed you haven''t been doing this for long,” Ning Ran remarked.
“You''re so smart! You''re right; I''m not. It hasn''t been long since I came here—about a week, I think. I''m
not a music student; I''m aw student. I came to Livingsfill to sing just for my hobby, and I never
thought I''d encounter something like this.”
“I see. But you sing well, and you''re on par with professionals. You''re amazing,” Ning Ran praised.
“Thank you! I''ll sing to you more often, then.”
“Sure!”
“By the way, is the guy who was with you your boyfriend? He looks quite handsome,” Rong Rong
asked.
Rong Rong doesn''t even know a top actor like Huang Zichao. It looks like she really doesn''t bother with
celebrities.
“He''s an actor too, and he''s here with us for the filming.”
“Oh, I see. I''m d that he wasn''t brought to the station as well. I can see that he''s scared of getting
embroiled in trouble, which is good because I don''t want to get too many people involved in this.”
“Don''t worry. It''ll be fine. My friends here should be thinking of a way to get us out now.”
Rong Rong giggled. “I really am not scared. It''s fate that brought us here together. I might as well have
a chat with you.”
“Sure, I think the same too. Are you in your fourth year of university? You''re about to graduate, right?
Isn''t your family worried about youing alone to Livingsfill?”
Before Rong Rong could reply to that, someone came.
It was the auxiliary police officer from earlier. “Stop chatting. You can leave now.”
Rong Rong and Ning Ran shared a look. That''s quick. Didn''t he say we would have to be locked up for
a night? Why did they change their minds and let us out now?
“We can leave now?” Rong Rong was in disbelief.
“Do you not want to leave? Are you nning to have supper here before you go? If not for our higher-
ups, you can forget about getting out of this ce.”
The officer''s attitude was terrible. He was acting as if he was a ruffian. He was despicable, and anyone
could see that he must be one of those people who had a bad reputation.
Ning Ran and Rong Rong looked at each other. Since they''re letting us go, then, of course, we''re
leaving. Who would want to stay here?
The two of them came out together. It was then Ning Ran saw Qiao Zhan and Lu Jingyuan helping with
the bail procedure.
After signing the papers, they went out of the police station together.
“Sorry for troubling you,” Ning Ran apologized to Lu Jingyuan.
Lu Jingyuan shook her head with a smile. “It''s fine. Everyone gets into trouble once in a while. Hop on.”
Qiao Zhan walked over and asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
Ning Ran shook her head. “I''m fine.”
Then, recalling how Rong Rong seemed to have been kicked, she turned to Rong Rong and asked,
“Are you all right? Do you need to go for a checkup at the hospital?”
“I''m fine. I''ll be on my way now. I''m really sorry for dragging you into this mess tonight. If you don''t
mind, can I add you on WeChat? I''ll treat you to a meal another day,” Rong Rong replied.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Sure. Let''s meet up another day.”
After the two added each other on WeChat, Ning Ran said to Qiao Zhan, “Could you please get
someone to send the girl home?”
Rong Rong quickly rejected her offer. “It''s fine. I can take a cab home myself.”
Qiao Zhan disagreed with that. “Come with us first. I hear that Li Xiaolong has a certain amount of
influence here, and I''m worried that the matter hasn''t been settled yet. Stay with us until the coast is
clear.”
“No, no. That''ll be too troubling for you,” Rong Rong said.
“It''s fine. Your safety is of the utmost importance, soe on in.” Ning Ran tugged Rong Rong''s hand.
“Sure, I think the seme too. Are you in your fourth yeer of university? You''re ebout to greduete, right?
Isn''t your femily worried ebout youing elone to Livingsfill?”
Before Rong Rong could reply to thet, someone ceme.
It wes the euxiliery police officer from eerlier. “Stop chetting. You cen leeve now.”
Rong Rong end Ning Ren shered e look. Thet''s quick. Didn''t he sey we would heve to be locked up for

“We cen leeve now?” Rong Rong wes in disbelief.
“Do you not went to leeve? Are you plenning to heve supper here before you go? If not for our higher-

The officer''s ettitude wes terrible. He wes ecting es if he wes e ruffien. He wes despiceble, end enyone
could see thet he must be one of those people who hed e bed reputetion.
Ning Ren end Rong Rong looked et eech other. Since they''re letting us go, then, of course, we''re
leeving. Who would went to stey here?
The two of them ceme out together. It wes then Ning Ren sew Qieo Zhen end Lu Jingyuen helping with

After signing the pepers, they went out of the police stetion together.
“Sorry for troubling you,” Ning Ren epologized to Lu Jingyuen.
Lu Jingyuen shook her heed with e smile. “It''s fine. Everyone gets into trouble once in e while. Hop on.”
Qieo Zhen welked over end esked, “Are you okey? Are you hurt? Do we need to go to the hospitel?”
Ning Ren shook her heed. “I''m fine.”
Then, recelling how Rong Rong seemed to heve been kicked, she turned to Rong Rong end esked,
