Chapter 878
Chapter 878 Not An Ordinary Person
Although Ning Ran had coborated with Tang Jing on two productions, their rtionship remained at
the stage of mere acquaintances.
A certain distance existed between acquaintances, and usually, one would not simply ask for a favor
from an acquaintance.
Due to theck of proximity in the rtionship between acquaintances, if one were to presumptuously
ask for help and get rejected, both parties would feel awkward.
Tang Jing was a smart person and was certainly aware of that, which surprised Ning Ran when she still
asked for help.
However, Ning Ran kept her surprise to herself and smiled. “What can I do for you?”
“I would like to ask you to help me rescue Ouyang Qi,” Tang Jing stated her needs inly.
Ning Ran was momentarily stunned, for she thought Ouyang Qi and Tang Jing werepletely
unrted to each other.
“I have been in a rtionship with Ouyang Qi for a while. We met by chance,” Tang Jing exined
further.
“Oh, I see. That''s nice.” Realization dawned upon Ning Ran.
No wonder Ouyang Qi hasn''t been pestering metely. Turns out he''s in a secret rtionship with Tang
Jing. But that''s good, though. Tang Jing is pretty, famous, and one of the smartest celebrities in the
entertainment industry. They''re a good match.
“But a while ago, when Ouyang Qi went on a business trip to Epea, he was set up by someone. Illegal
drugs were found in his luggage, and he was detained. I have thought of many ways to help, but what I
can do is limited, and it''s impossible for me to save him. So, I need your help to bail Ouyang Qi out.” As
soon as Tang Jing finished rting everything to Ning Ran, her eyes reddened.
This time, however, she was not acting; she was genuinely anxious.
Ouyang Qi was the person she had staked everything on. She was hoping that he could take over
Sunshine Corporation so she could ride on his coattails and be part of upper-ss society.
If Ouyang Qi couldn''t be saved, then her hopes would once again be shattered, which was an oue
she couldn''t ept.
Ning Ran immediately understood Tang Jing''s intention. Thetter wanted Ning Ran to seek help from
Nan Chen on her behalf.
That was the only exnation, for Ning Ran was merely an actress who wasn''t capable of rescuing
someone from Epea.
“I''m afraid my hands are tied. As you know, I''m not that capable,” Ning Ran said helplessly, shrugging.
She and Ouyang Qi were friends, but thetter used to be obsessed with her in the past, and Nan
Chen was disgusted by his behavior.
If Ning Ran were to ask for Nan Chen''s help to rescue Ouyang Qi, she would probably end up
annoying Nan Chen again.
If Ning Ran were to ask for Nan Chen''s help to rescue Ouyang Qi, she would probably end up
annoying Nan Chen again.
Regardless of whether the matter could be aplished, it would be troublesome if she and Nan
Chen ended up quarreling again.
Tang Jing observed Ning Ran''s reaction and wasn''t surprised, for she had seen thating.
After all, Tang Jing was aware of how Ouyang Qi used to court Ning Ran.
“I understand your difficulties, but I have no choice but to ask for your help because there are some
things I dare not express directly to Mr. Chen,” Tang Jing continued.
“Is that so? Although Nan Chen appears strict, he is actually reasonable. You can talk to him about
anything, and I''m sure he''ll understand,” Ning Ran replied.
“But I''m worried that Mr. Chen would get angry if he hears about this, and I''m also under a lot of
pressure...” Tang Jing said, tearing up again.
Ning Ran sensed that Tang Jing was keeping things from her. “Just speak your mind,” she encouraged.
“Ouyang Qi''s sister approached me. She told me to deal with you and Mr. Chen using the most vicious
methods possible. She even suggested that I buy strong acid from the ck market to disfigure Mr.
Chen''s face. I''m just an actress, so I dare not offend Mr. Chen. But Ouyang Li forced me, saying that if I
can''t do it, Ouyang Qi would die a horrible death. I have no choice but to seek your help...” Tang Jing,
being a professional actress, was capable of crying on cue.
Ning Ran was shocked. “Ouyang Li wants to harm Nan Chen and even disfigure him? Why?”
Despite asking that question, she already had a rough idea.
Her sixth sense told her that this matter was not just about thepetition between the Ouyang family
and the Nan family.
Although Ouyang Duo died an unnatural death, it had nothing to do with Nan Chen.
Ouyang Li had always been rational, so it was unlikely for her to ask someone to harm Nan Chen
physically.
It was possible that Sunshine Corporation and Rongguang Holdings were joining forces to take down
Nanshi Corporation because Ouyang Li had been trying to make that happen for a long time, but it was
strange for her to ask Tang Jing to disfigure Nan Chen.
Tang Jing wept. “I don''t know why she wants to do that. I''m afraid, but I don''t know how to deal with it. I
can only seek help from you. Please plead with Mr. Chen to see if he can help rescue Ouyang Qi.”
Tang Jing was exceptionally smart. If she had told Ning Ran that Ouyang Li wanted to harm them right
off the bat, it would''ve sounded like she was threatening Ning Ran.
Hence, she asked for Ning Ran''s help first. When Ning Ran asked for more details, she then revealed
the whole situation.
This would make Ning Ran feel that since Tang Jing had let her in on a secret, it would be heartless of
her to turn Tang Jing down when Tang Jing was asking for her help.
In truth, Tang Jing was guilt-tripping Ning Ran without thetter knowing.
Ning Ran sensed what she was trying to do and grew warier of Tang Jing.
“I don''t quite understand, though. If Ouyang Li wants to harm me and Nan Chen, why won''t she just
hire a professional assassin or at least a powerful thug? Why would she choose you for the task and
use Ouyang Qi''s safety to threaten you?” Ning Ran asked in return.
“Well...” Tang Jing felt uneasy when Ning Ran outsmarted her. “Maybe she thinks it''s easier for me to
make a move on you guys since we share a close rtionship.”
“You''re right. You and I have always been close. Ouyang Qing used to have the same notion, too,”
Ning Ran said thoughtfully.
Ning Ran''s casual words made Tang Jing sweat profusely.
She felt guilty because she had indeed done things for Ouyang Qing before and had even disclosed
the exact location of the filming site in Livingsfill to Ouyang Li.
Although she had not caused direct harm to Nan Chen and Ning Ran, she was indirectly involved and
had a sense of guilt.
She thought she could hide everything from Ning Ran and manipte thetter into doing what she
wanted, but Ning Ran''s simple remark caused her to panic.
“Ding, what do you mean by saying that? Did I do anything to offend you?” Tang Jing asked anxiously.

Ning Ran smiled faintly. “You''re overthinking things. That''s just a random thought. I''ll talk to Nan Chen
about this, but I can''t guarantee what his reaction will be. As you know, Nanshi Corporation and the
Ouyang family have always been at odds, and I don''t think Nan Chen would get involved in the Ouyang
family''s affairs. That''s against the rules, too. So, don''t expect too much, but we''ll do what we can.”
Her meaning was clear. Don''t try to manipte me with your schemes and don''t try to guilt trip me. This
is not up to you; it''s up to me.
“I understand. Thank you for your help, Ding. I''m sorry for troubling you.”
Tang Jing heaved an inward sigh of relief. Ning Ran is not an ordinary person. I should be careful not to
pull any tricks in front of her in the future.
