Chapter 786
Ten minutester, the three thugs were thrown at the side of the road, covered in blood and barely
breathing.
Ruan Anxi washed his bony hands repeatedly in the toilet of his RV while the vehicle continued to
move forward.
After wiping his hands multiple times, the man poured himself a ss of warm water and took a sip
before looking up at Ning Ran. “Do you want some water?” he asked.
Ning Ran red at him and said, “I''m not going to talk to you, you monster!”
“Why? What did I do?” Ruan Anxi asked the obvious.
“You hurt innocent people and left them by the roadside to die!” Ning Ran yelled.
Ruan Anxi shook his head and replied, “Do you even understand the meaning of the word ''innocent''?
Not only did they extort and rip off people, but they also tried to abduct you and do bad things to you.
How can you still say that they are innocent? If I hadn''t interfered and let them take you away, I know
for sure what would have happened to you. Do you still think they are innocent?”
“Fine. Even if they are bad people, that doesn''t justify you killing them. Those are three lives!”
“I didn''t kill them. I know what I was doing. What I did was only enough to cripple them. Besides, they
are not going to die from excess bleeding as long as someone saves them within three hours. Don''t
worry, they will be fine.”
“But what if they are not saved within three hours? Won''t they die then?”
“This is a busy road. I''m sure a lot of cars will pass by within these three hours. If no one stops to save
them, that means they are fated to die, and there is nothing I can do about it. Anyway, as long as they
remain alive, they will continue harming others,” Ruan Anxi replied nonchntly.
“You have no regard for human life at all! You are indeed a monster!” Ning Ran bellowed.
“Well, I did not deny that.” Ruan Anxi did not seem to be affected.
Ning Ran was rendered speechless at the man''s indifference.
He did not care about what others thought about him at all. Besides, he had never imed to be a
good person.
Ning Ran kept quiet and could not be bothered to speak any further.
She prayed silently that someone would stop by and save those three thugs. After all, those were three
young lives.
Another ten minutester, they arrived at their destination.
Ning Ran got out of the car and stretched slightly before scanning her surroundings. She was surprised
by how beautiful the ce was.
The homestay was next to a river, and the house was made of red bricks with wisteria growing on the
walls. There were all sorts of fresh flowers, corn, and peppers nted in the garden.
What a pity that it''s Ruan Anxi, a cold-blooded monster, who''s staying here.
Someone stepped forward and greeted, “Doctor, everything is ready. Pleasee in and rest.”
“Run a bath for thisdy. She stinks,” Ruan Anxi instructed.
Being called out for smelling bad by a man made Ning Ran feel extremely awkward.
She had headed straight to Lu Jingyuan''s vi after filming the previous day and did not have time to
shower.
Thus, she did not expect to be kidnapped by Ruan Anxi after that.
Even though there were basic shower facilities in the RV, it was not possible for Ning Ran to shower in
front of a man.
Ning Ran went into the bathroom, and after showering, she put on a fresh set of clothes that Ruan Anxi
had prepared for her.
It was a folk costume that looked pretty stylish although it was not veryfortable to wear as it was
made of a rougher fabric.
However, under such circumstances, Ning Ran was just grateful that she had clean clothes to change
into.
Ruan Anxi sized the woman up after she emerged from the bathroom.

Not only is she pretty and has a good figure, but she also exudes elegance.
This is just an ordinary folk costume, but it seems to have a different charm when it''s worn by her.
Although she''s an actress and often mingles with the famous and wealthy, she does not appear to be
worldly at all. In fact, she feels more like a college student.
It''s really rare for someone in the entertainment industry to be able to remain so untainted.
A chill ran down Ning Ran''s spine. She could not stand the way Ruan Anxi was staring at her and shot
a re back at him.
However, Ruan Anxi was unfazed and continued staring at her. He even nodded and said, “You are a
beauty both inside and out! If we remove your skin and flesh, I''m sure whatever that is left inside would
be equally mesmerizing!”
Ning Ran was taken aback when she heard that. Is he still human?
Which sane person would see an attractive person and think of skinning them and removing their
flesh? Is he intending to make sashimi?
“Have some rest first and recoup your energy. We can take a tour in townter in the afternoon,” Ruan
Anxi said.
Ning Ran was rather surprised at that suggestion. She had assumed that the man was staying there
because he did not want his whereabouts to be exposed.
However, that no longer appeared to be the case as he was not afraid of being seen in town. It seemed
like he had chosen to stay there because of the serenity that the ce offered.
He''s indeed of a much higher levelpared to those petty criminals.
“I''m hungry. It''s lunchtime,” Ning Ran said.
As the woman had not eaten much for breakfast, it was natural for her to be feeling hungry.
“Lunch hasn''t been prepared. Let''s eat in townter. Why don''t you have a tomato first?” Ruan Anxi
suggested.
“You think just because you can survive on tomatoes, it would be the same for everyone else? I''m not
eating it!” Ning Ran huffed.
“Eat an apple then. An apple contains lots of antioxidants. I''m not saying that you need any though.”
Taking a pause, Ruan Anxi instructed his subordinate, “Slice an apple for her.”
“It''s fine. I can do it myself.”
Ning Ran picked up an apple and rinsed it under the tap. Just as she was about to take a bite, Ruan
Anxi stopped her and said, “It''s not clean yet.”
The man took the apple from her and washed it properly a few more times before passing it back to
her.
Ning Ran was at a loss for words. Why would a criminal be so particr about how clean an apple is?
Ning Ran munched on the apple while walking back to the bedroom. After entering the room, she
locked the door from the inside.
As no one disturbed her, she managed to have a good sleep and felt rejuvenated after waking up.
The woman could hardly believe that she was able to sleep so soundly even when she was being
kidnapped.
However, she knew she was able to do that because she had a gut feeling that Ruan Anxi would not
hurt her.
At least, as long as she did not try to escape or do anything funny, the man would not hurt her.
Although it was purely a feeling that was unfounded, Ning Ran was confident of that.
Ruan Anxi was definitely not a good person. In fact, he could be considered a viin. Moreover, his
ruthlessness, which Ning Ran had personally witnessed, was very disturbing.
Despite knowing that he was an extremely dangerous character, Ning Ran felt safe around him.
In a way, the man was rather simr to Nan Chen. He would not be a threat as long as he was not
triggered.
However, if someone did something that hit a nerve, the consequences would be dire as Ruan Anxi
would certainly not show any mercy.
The only difference between the two men was that Nan Chen was a good person while Ruan Anxi was
on the dark side.
If a confrontation broke out between the two of them, Ning Ran could not be sure who would be more
ruthless and emerge victorious.
Logically, it should not be difficult for Nan Chen to find Ning Ran as she had already informed him of
Ruan Anxi''s whereabouts.
However, up until then, Ruan Anxi still seemed extremely rxed and did not seem to be worried about
being found at all.
Seeing how fearless the man was, Ning Ran could not help but worry for Nan Chen.
After all, those who were not bound by principles or morals would always have an upper hand over
those who were.
