Chapter 718


    However, Nan Chen did not think that he was being paranoid.


    He was certain that things were not that simple. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have rushed to Livingsfill in the


    middle of the night.


    “Drive faster. I want to be there to witness the scene personally,” Nan Chen continued.


    As such, Nan Xing had no choice but to m on the elerator and speed all the way to their


    destination.


    Finally, they arrived at the film set.


    “Sir Chen, don''t worry. Nothing bad will happen. They are just filming as usual inside,” Qiao Zhan


    reported.


    Nan Chen took a look at the surroundings and noticed that a few new buildings had been constructed


    nearby. Those buildings had a peculiar style and did not look like the other buildings around them.


    They must have been built for the new movie. This ce could possibly be a new tourist attraction in


    the future.


    If the movie turns out to be a hit, people would be interested toe here and visit to have a first-hand


    experience of the filming process.


    Just as Nan Chen was about to enter the film set, he was stopped by Nan Xing.


    “Chen, they are filming inside. It doesn''t seem appropriate for you to just barge in like that,” Nan Xing


    reminded.


    “Huh?”


    “You''re their big boss. If you show up, they would certainly pause shooting to report the filming


    progress to you. If that''s the case, they wouldn''t be able to proceed with the filming smoothly, right?


    Besides, if the director sees you, he would probably clear Ning Ran''s schedule for the rest of the day,


    and that would affect the entire crew. Why don''t you just wait for a while? After they are done with the


    shoot for today, you would be able to leave with Ning Ran,” Nan Xing said.


    After a brief moment of contemtion, Nan Chen turned away as his brother''s words did make sense.


    “If that''s the case, I won''t interrupt their filming progress. Qiao Zhan, go in and get the assistant director


    toe out now. I have some questions for him,” Nan Chen said.


    “Understood, Sir Chen.”


    Soon, the assistant director walked out of the film set. When he saw Nan Chen, he was so shocked


    that his knees almost gave way. Why is our big boss here? Is this supposed to be a private visit?


    “Sir Chen, we were not informed of your arrival. I''ll get everyone out to wee you at once...”


    The assistant director got such a bad shock that his forehead was already covered with beads of


    perspiration.


    Nan Chen gave a dismissive wave and replied, “You don''t have to be so nervous as I''m just here to


    take a look. There''s no need to let them know that I''m here. I would like to ask you something. Has any


    neer joined the production team recently?”


    The assistant director answered with certainty, “No. The production team members are already fixed.


    The actors and actresses were confirmed a long time back as well. It''s impossible to have anyst-


    minute changes. As such, there wouldn''t be any neers to the team.”


    Nan Chen did not seem satisfied with that answer and questioned further, “Are you very sure? I think


    you should give some careful thought to it before answering me.”


    The assistant director replied nervously, “I... I did think about it carefully. Besides, each department has


    a team leader. Let me check with them again.”


    “What are you guys filming today?” Nan Chen asked abruptly.


    “It''s a scene where the female lead teleports to a parallel universe where she witnesses the version of


    her in that universe celebrating her birthday...”


    “Would there be a birthday cake? Would she have to blow out candles?” Nan Chen asked.


    “Yes...”


    Before the assistant director could finish his sentence, Nan Chen had already dashed into the film set.


    Meanwhile, inside the film set, the candles had already been lit. The rest of the lighting had been


    dimmed, and Ning Ran was getting ready to blow out the candles.


    “Wait! Stop!” Nan Chen suddenly appeared and shouted.


    Everyone was shocked, and the lights were turned back on again. The director stopped the filming at


    once and said, “Sir Chen, what brings you here?”


    As Nan Chen approached Ning Ran, his expression changed drastically. “Everyone, step back! Stay at


    least three meters away from us. Security, surround me!”


    Everyone was stunned, including Ning Ran, who was feeling extremely baffled. “What''s going on? Why


    are you so flustered?”


    “Keep quiet. Security, form a circle around us and get everyone to move back!” Nan Chen yelled.


    Qiao Zhan hurried into the film set and asked, “What''s wrong, Sir Chen?”


    “Get some men to surround us, and don''t let anyonee near! Kill anyone whoes near us!” Nan


    Chen hollered.


    Qiao Zhan was shocked at Nan Chen''s order. Kill anyone who goes near them? That''s not Sir Chen''s


    usual style at all.


    However, since Nan Chen had given his instructions, if there was anyone who did not listen and


    insisted on crossing the boundaries, Qiao Zhan would have no choice but to kill them.


    “Stay away! No one is allowed toe near! Stay as far away as you can!” Qiao Zhan shouted as a


    murderous glint shed across his eyes.


    In fact, the man was exuding murderous intent. Chief Qiao was finally showing the ruthless side of him.


    As such, everyone retreated backward, staying as far away as they could.


    Meanwhile, Nan Chen removed his jacket and wrapped it around Ning Ran.


    Ning Ran was deeply puzzled by the man''s actions. She was already dressed in thickyers of clothes


    for filming purposes. Besides, the weather in Livingsfill was not cold at all. As such, she could not figure


    out what Nan Chen was doing.


    However, she trusted the man and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.

    If it were someone else, Ning Ran would probably have thought that they had gone crazy. However,


    given that it was Nan Chen, Ning Ran knew that something serious was happening.


    That was because Nan Chen would not behave in such an aggressive and anxious manner over small


    matters.


    Nan Chen wrapped his arms around Ning Ran as he escorted her outside before asking Qiao Zhan to


    open the car door for her to get in. Meanwhile, Nan Chen himself took the driver''s seat.


    After that, he started the car engine and turned the air-conditioning to its coldest setting. Instantly, it


    was freezing inside the car.


    “What''s going on?” Ning Ran asked, shivering from both the cold and nervousness.


    “There''s a highly-mmable substance on your filming outfit. Once ites into contact with fire, it will


    explode into mes. However, you don''t have to worry. I will handle it properly,” Nan Chen replied in a


    deep voice.


    “What? How did that happen?” Ning Ran was shocked to hear that.


    “Someone from the film set must have done it. That''s why I ordered everyone to stay away. But there''s


    nothing for you to worry about. I will find out what happened. On the way here, I saw a pond right


    ahead. When we reach there, we will get into the pond together to wash off the chemical substance


    from your body. We will be safe after that,” Nan Chen said.


    “If that''s the case, does it mean that I''m a mmable object now? What if I selfbust suddenly? You


    should stop the car by the side and drop me off. I will go and wash off the chemical myself. I can''t drag


    you into this!”


    At that moment, Ning Ran was truly terrified.


    She was not only worried about herself but also that Nan Chen would be hurt if she suddenly burst into


    mes.


    Besides, she knew that Nan Chen had wrapped her so tightly in his arms earlier because he was


    worried that someone from the crowd would toss a me at them suddenly.


    If someone was intentionally causing harm, that person had to be someone among the production


    crew.


    If a me was suddenly thrown at them, it would be impossible for them to put it out in time. If that


    happened, Ning Ran would be a human torch.


    It was only then that Ning Ran realized how dangerous it was for the man back then.


    He would have gotten some mmable substance on him as well, given how close he had been to her.


    If she really had burst into mes, Nan Chen would not have been spared from getting hurt.


    “Get out of the car right now. You shouldn''t be here with me!” Ning Ran eximed, almost breaking into


    a sob.


    “Don''t be silly. Do you really think I would abandon you? Just stop it. We are reaching the pond soon.


    Although the water is rather dirty, we don''t really have other options. Let''s jump into the pond together,”


    Nan Chen said.


    “Why are you so silly? You could have just told me and let me handle it by myself. It was so dangerous


    for you toe so close to me! If anything bad happens to you because of me, even if I die, I wouldn''t


    be able to die in peace. Do you know that?” Ning Ran was no longer able to hold back her tears as she


    spoke.


    “You''re the silly one. I won''t let anything happen to you. All right. Stop talking now. You''re too noisy,”


    Nan Chen replied.
