Chapter 821


    Half an hourter, Qiao Zhan brought Ruan Anxi to the underground snooker bar.


    At that moment, it was early in the morning. Initially, Ruan Anxi was feeling a little drowsy, but not


    anymore.


    “Are you kidnapping me right now? Are you aware of the consequences of your actions?” Ruan Anxi


    questioned grimly.


    His presumptuous attitude pisses me off. It seems he still doesn''t understand he''s in Flower City, not M


    Nation''s forest. No matter how powerful or influential he is in South East Aploth, he can''t use any of it


    here. There''s a saying that one can''t win without their home advantage, yet this guy has the gall to


    threaten Ning Ran again in Flower City. It''s only natural Nan Chen is furious that such a thing


    happened in his territory. However, some matters are too inconvenient for him to handle personally,


    which is when Ie out. I was prepared to keep ying with Ruan Anxi, pressuring him to stay in his


    vehicle until his food supply was exhausted. I didn''t expect he would get so agitated that he left the


    vehicle. It certainly saved me a lot of trouble. When I caught him, I almostughed out loud. Who


    would''ve thought it would be that easy? As Qiao Zhan''s train of thought ended there, he noticed Ruan


    Anxi was still putting up an act.


    In response, he grabbed a bottle of wine and glugged two mouthfuls of it.


    Ruan Anxi watched him drink like that with disdain and frowned. “Such a boorish way of drinking will


    hurt your body! You have no taste.”


    “If you keep yapping, I''ll crack your head like an egg with my fist!” Qiao Zhan pointed at Ruan Anxi as


    he yelled.


    Ruan Anxi shook his head. What a vulgar, uncivilized man. He doesn''t even have the discipline to be a


    bad guy. He''ll attack someone if he wants to hurt them, and he swears like a crass, drunken sailor.


    “What are you shaking your head for? Do you really believe you''re the king of South East Aploth? Don''t


    forget; this is Flower City, China. I can''t tell whether you''re crazy or stupid to cause trouble here.” Qiao


    Zhan took another swig.


    With a grin, Ruan Anxi questioned, “Do you have the guts to kill me?”


    That ticked Qiao Zhan off because he knew he didn''t.


    “If you kill me, my subordinates will avenge me, regardless of the consequences. Rivers of blood will


    flow in Flower City and the Nan residence!”


    “You''re overthinking it. Once you''re dead, your subordinates will scatter. Who''ll avenge you then?”


    scoffed Qiao Zhan.


    “Now that''s something you don''t understand. If I really am dead, someone will avenge me. Give it a try


    if you don''t believe me, but many people will die.” Then Ruan Anxi cackled again.


    He really is a demon. Even though he''s my captive right now, and I can squash him like an ant at any


    moment, he''s still utterly fearless. It''s as if he doesn''t care that he''s in danger right now. Argh! I hate his


    stupid, arrogant face! I want to punch him so badly, but if I do that, I may identally kill this weak


    b*stard, which will be troublesome. As hateful thoughts crossed Qiao Zhan''s mind, he handed a phone


    to Ruan Anxi. “Call your subordinates and tell them to release Ding Fei''s sh*tty parents now.”


    Ruan Anxi didn''t take the phone. “What do you mean by ''sh*tty parents''?”

    “It means I don''t like them. If not for Mrs. Nan''s orders, I wouldn''t give a d*mn if they die or not.”


    That roused Ruan Anxi''s interest. “Why do you dislike them? Is it because they mistreated Ning Ran


    before?”


    “I''m not interested in chatting with you. Tell your subordinates right now to release them!”


    Ruan Anxi chuckled. “Do you really think I''ll listen to you? If you want to kill me, just kill me. Ask


    someone else to do it if you don''t have the guts to.”


    In response, Qiao Zhan raised his fist in anger again. “You...”


    “I suggest you refrain from attacking me. I''m pretty weak, after all. If you identally kill me, you and


    Nan Chen will be in a lot of trouble. Hahaha!” Ruan Anxi was acting so arrogantly that one might


    mistake him as the captor and Qiao Zhan as the prisoner.


    “Fine. While you may not want to call them now, you will soon enough. Keep your eyes on him. Don''t


    let him escape or drink any water,” Qiao Zhan ordered his subordinates.


    “Understood.”


    The next day in the afternoon, after Ning Ran finished her meeting at Star Entertainment, she called


    Qiao Zhan and asked him about Ruan Anxi.


    Qiao Zhan was hesitant to answer her questions, so it took a while before she learned Ruan Anxi was


    in the snooker bar.


    From him, she learned that Ruan Anxi refused to talk to anyone and demanded to speak only to her.


    Believing that keeping Ruan Anxi in continued captivity wouldn''t be a great idea, she asked Qiao Zhan


    to arrange a meeting between her and Ruan Anxi.


    She was aware of Ruan Anxi''s personality. Even if Qiao Zhan confronted or even killed him, it wouldn''t


    solve the problem.


    While she wasn''t sure if her conversation with Ruan Anxi would be beneficial, she was certain she


    would yield better results than Qiao Zhan.


    Qiao Zhan didn''t have the final say on the matter since Ruan Anxi was a dangerous man. Thus, he


    asked Nan Chen for permission.


    Upon receiving Nan Chen''s approval, Qiao Zhan went to Raining Pavilion to pick up Ning Ran.


    Even though Qiao Zhan remained quiet throughout the entire journey, she was certain he had some


    opinions he was bottling up.


    “If you have something to say, just say it,” she proposed.


    The moment he started speaking, he was enraged. “I just don''t understand why you want to help


    someone as evil as Luo Fei. Now, we have a big problem on our hands, and we have to take care of


    her parents, too. Ruan Anxi''s a stubborn mad dog. When he said he was only willing to talk to you and


    no one else, I was so anxious that, on multiple asions, I wanted to beat him to death!”


    It seems like he has no idea how to handle Ruan Anxi, which is what I expected. How can you threaten


    someone fearless of death? It''s not like we can take lessons from his cruelty and remove his organs


    one by one.


    Ning Ranforted, “Since you know he''s a mad dog, you shouldn''t get yourself worked up. It''s not


    worth it. As for Luo Fei, she''s pregnant right now. If not for her baby, I wouldn''t have helped her. The


    consequences will be dire if we hand her over to him at this moment. Just think of helping her as an act


    of goodwill. I know you''re a man with a strong sense of justice, Chief Qiao. Are you willing to watch


    Ruan Anxi destroy an unborn life?”


    Qiao Zhan''s mood was greatly lifted when he heard her praise him for having a strong sense of justice


    and calling him “Chief Qiao.”


    “You''re a kind person, Mrs. Nan. However, don''t put up with that mad dog too much. Please don''t listen


    to him if he makes any outrageous demands,” he reminded.


    She assured, “Of course. Since he''s in your custody at the moment, I won''t be threatened by him.


    Heck, he couldn''t even threaten me when he kidnapped me. Furthermore, we have the initiative right


    now. Don''t worry, I got this.”


    “Mhm, I believe in your ability.”
