Chapter 789

After his change in expression, Ruan Anxi abruptly burst into laughter.

The murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

“If so, let's all die together! The agreement was to have tea together, but you had two bogus people come over and

dupe me. If I die, my mother won't be able to live either, so it's best that we all perish together!”

Having said that, he ordered, “Tie the woman up first! I'm going to carve her heart out!”

Upon hearing that, Cheng Xiangyun shrieked in terror, “No! There isn't any grudge between us both! Don't kill me!”

At the same time, utter regret swamped her. If I'd known this would've happened, I wouldn't have tried playing

hero! I'm going to have my heart carved out now. Can it still be stuffed back into my body afterward?

Similarly, Chai Hua was a touch dumbfounded. Never had he expected Ruan Anxi to be so unpredictable to the

point of being determined to drag everyone down with him, unwilling to negotiate in the least.

I gave my word to Cheng Xiangyun that I would bring her back safely, but it now looks like I'll be forced to break my

promise.

Beside Nan Chen, Ning Ran snatched the phone away and demanded, “Wait! Don't hurt her! She's my friend!”

“Initially, I didn't want to hurt anyone. I merely wanted to have tea with them both, but they actually dared to play

me for a fool. They've gone overboard! Tell Nan Chen to notify those in the helicopters to open fire so that we can

all die together!”

Seizing hold of Cheng Xiangyun's neck, Ruan Anxi lifted the scalpel, seemingly about to make his move for real.

“No! Stop it, Ruan Anxi! I'll come back and take her place!” Ning Ran cried out.

At the side, Nan Chen scowled at her.

What on earth is she saying? The purpose of all this preparation is to save her. If she were to return, wouldn't

everything have been in vain?

“I object!” he countered frostily.

“I can't have Cheng die in my stead! This is my affair, and I can't drag her into the mess!” Ning Ran argued.

Surprisingly, Ruan Anxi stilled. “That's sensible. Indeed, you didn't disappoint me. You've got to handle your own

affairs instead of colluding with them to deceive me. If you come back, I'll release the two of them!”

“You can't go!” Naturally, Nan Chen protested adamantly.

“No, I must go. I can't have Mr. Chai and Cheng Xiangyun die for me. Otherwise, I'll be haunted by guilt for the rest

of my life. Let them go, Ruan Anxi. I'll come back.”

While saying that, Ning Ran made to open the car door and climb out of the vehicle.

However, Nan Chen yanked her back. “You can't go! Everyone made preparations for a long time. If you return, all

our efforts would've been for naught!”

Although he didn't want Cheng Xiangyun and Chai Hua to die either, he never expected Ruan Anxi to act like a

madman who had no regard for anything. Right then, he was truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

“I'll let them go if you come back, Ning Ran. Otherwise, we'll all die together! I'm giving you two minutes. If you

don't return, they'll be dead!” Ruan Anxi threatened.

Ning Ran fixated her eyes on Nan Chen. “He won't kill me. I'll just go for a while and be back in a jiffy.”

“But—”

“If he really wanted to hurt me, I would've been dead long ago. Trust me. He harbors no hatred against me, so it's

pointless for him to kill me. He's an exceedingly prideful person and will never allow you to hoodwink him. If he

were to compromise just like that, he wouldn't be able to lead those under his command henceforth. His path is

different from ours. He requires absolute authority, or others will betray him anytime. As such, he would rather die

than make a concession,” Ning Ran explained.

That was her judgment after all the time she spent interacting with Ruan Anxi, and she was pretty sure she was

right.

The man was someone who lived on the edge of danger, prepared to die anytime.

On top of that, he was sickly in the first place, so he attached little importance to life.

Furthermore, he was considered the ruler of South East Aploth. If someone set him up and duped him, it was a

downright humiliation. In the event that the news spread, it would undoubtedly affect his prestige and status.

Hence, he definitely wouldn't agree to a compromise.

In fact, he would rather perish together than admit his failure, much less when there was still hope for him.

Nevertheless, Ning Ran believed that he wouldn't kill her as long as he was afforded sufficient respect.

“In that case, I'll go with you,” Nan Chen relented, making up his mind as well.

In truth, he couldn't accept having Chai Hua and Cheng Xiangyun die before his eyes. After all, members of the Nan

family would never sacrifice others for the sake of themselves.

“No, you can't!” This time, Ning Ran was the one objecting.

Everyone knew perfectly well why Nan Chen couldn't enter the homestay.

He was too important, and the loss to the Nan family would be devastating if he were to lose his life there.

“You can't go, Sir Chen. I'll go with Madam instead.” Qiao Zhan also disagreed with that suggestion.

Meanwhile, Ruan Anxi had already started the countdown, and two minutes would up be soon.

Thus, Nan Chen could only concur to have Qiao Zhan accompany Ning Ran back in.

As soon as Ruan Anxi laid eyes on Ning Ran, a maleficent smile split his face. “This is more like it. I just knew that

you wouldn't let me down.”

“Let them go,” Ning Ran demanded.

“Okay, whatever you say. Let them go.” Ruan Anxi waved a hand.

Cheng Xiangyun was so terrified that her legs had gone weak. She couldn't walk at all and could only move with

Chai Hua supporting her.

That was only natural, for she had never experienced such a horrifying scene.

“Go out first. I'll follow in a while,” Ning Ran said to Cheng Xiangyun smilingly.

Casting a glance at her, Cheng Xiangyun mused inwardly.

She has been with Nan Chen for too long that she has changed substantially. In the past, she was also very much a

coward. But now, she's no longer afraid and has become ferocious.

“You shouldn't have returned, Madam,” Chai Hua lamented with a sigh.

He felt that Ruan Anxi was extremely ruthless and worried that Ning Ran would be in great peril.

“It's okay, so don't worry. Hurry up and go,” Ning Ran reassured gently.

“You're both not leaving, huh? How about staying and having dinner together, then?” Ruan Anxi chimed in darkly.

“Quick, let's go!” Cheng Xiangyun hastily urged Chai Hua, not wanting to spend another second there.

The mere thought of Ruan Anxi's constant threat to remove her organs had her knees quivering. Verily, she had

never seen such a depraved individual.

After Chai Hua had helped Cheng Xiangyun out, Ning Ran flashed Ruan Anxi a smile. “Don't tell me you really want

to kill me?”

In response, Ruan Anxi shook his head. “Nope. I promised not to kill you. Besides, there's no grudge between us, so

it's pointless for me to do so.”

Only then did Ning Ran's heart that had been lodged in her throat settle back in her chest. “I'm glad to hear that.

Honestly speaking, I don't want to die.”

“I know, and that's why I'm not going to kill you. But as for him...”

Ruan Anxi pointed at Qiao Zhan before continuing, “I don't like this big lug here who dared to hit me!”

When they were at Lu Jingyuan's villa, Qiao Zhan indeed beat Ruan Anxi up. If it weren't for Ning Ran holding him

back, he would've pummeled the latter to death.

Therefore, Ruan Anxi was incredibly vexed about that.

“You also stabbed me, and the wound is still vivid now!” Qiao Zhan barked.

“Are you afraid, scared that I'll carve your heart out?” Ruan Anxi drawled with a menacing grin.

“I'm not afraid of you!” Qiao Zhan was a machismo person, so it was no surprise that he wasn't willing to admit to

feeling any fear.

“Fine. Since you're not afraid, I'll cut you up right now!” Ruan Anxi whipped out the scalpel once more.

“No, don't do that. He didn't have to come, but he accompanied me here. Please don't make things difficult for him.

If you've got any requests, feel free to voice them. However, it's impossible to have Mr. Nan come over. He's up in

years, so he can't travel such a long distance. If you want to meet him, I can accompany you to Flower City,” Ning

Ran chimed in.
