After dinner, Ning Ran was brought to the riverside by Nan Chen again.
Nan Chen’s expression was terrifyingly cold, and Ning Ran had a bad feeling about it. She stopped walking after a while and refused to take another step.
She thought to herself, What if we wander too far away and this guy kills me and dumps my body in the river?
“Just tell me what it is that you want. I don’t owe you any money, so why have you brought me all the way here?!” Ning Ran said loudly.
She tried to speak as loud as she could to counter the pressure that Nan Chen was giving her.
“Why did you do that?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
“I had to!” Ning Ran said.
Nan Chen almost lost his temper. She nearly got someone killed, and yet behaves so nonchalantly?
He reached out his arm and grabbed Ning Ran, and forced her to the riverside.
She would fall into the river if he had applied a bit more force on her.
“Help……”
Before Ning Ran could finish, Nan Chen pulled her back again.
“If you kill me, I won’t forgive you even if I turn into a ghost!” Ning Ran still had a lingering fear in her heart. She had really felt Nan Chen’s murderous intent just now, and her feet were still weak from it.
“You unrepentant woman!” Nan Chen was furious.
“Why should I repent? I didn’t do anything wrong! That’s what I’ve always been doing!” Ning Ran said.
“You’ve always been causing harm to others?”
“What do you mean by that? What harm have I caused by saving my own children?”
Nan Chen realized that they were not talking about the same thing.
Was this woman playing dumb to divert attention?
“Why did you hurt Lunlun?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
“Huh? Since when I hurt him?” I just haven’t returned the money I owed him. He is so rich — hundreds of thousands are nothing to him anyway. Besides, it’s not like I’m never going to pay up. I’m just not paying up for the time being!”
Nan Chen was confused again. What is this woman talking about?
We’re clearly talking about a life or death issue here. Why is she talking about owing and paying money?
Ning Ran realized that they were not on the same page as well.
But then again, they never were anyway!
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Ning Ran felt that she needed to get a clear answer from him.
“Zheng Lunlun’s detoxification process was almost complete, but his condition had suddenly worsened because someone applied Wang Chuan grass herbal oil on him again which increased the toxicity in his body. He is still in danger now!”
“I know this, Dabao told me about it.”
And then there was silence.
“Ah, you suspect that I did it to him?” Ning Ran said as she suddenly realized what was going on.
“Who else could it be?” Nan Chen’s voice sounded like it was from hell itself.
“Why me? How are you so sure that it was me? Just because you don’t like me? Well, I don’t like you either, so I think it was you!” Ning Ran exclaimed.
“He is my nephew; of course I will not harm him!”
“He’s like a brother to me, that makes me even more unlikely for me to harm him!”
Nan Chen was extremely furious but couldn’t do anything about Ning Ran.
He couldn’t bring himself to do something like hit a woman.
But his anger was burning so strongly that he didn’t know what to do.
Out of anger, Nan Chen shouted, “Get lost!”
Ning Ran was confused; This is a forest. Where would she go?
But Ning Ran didn’t dare talk back anymore as she felt the danger of doing so.
One could talk back a little with Nan Chen but not anger him completely.
If he lost control and really tossed her into the river, she’d surely die.
Besides, if it wasn’t for him, she would’ve been abducted along with her kids, so she still had to thank him for that.
Not to mention his care for the kids, as even she wasn’t that meticulous.
“It really wasn’t me.” Ning Ran said slowly, “There is no need for me to do such a thing.”
In a state of fury, Nan Chen did not speak and just exuded cold air and hostility as he stood there.
