The next few days went by peacefully.
Ever since the incidents on that night, Nan Chen had dismissed the idea of having the two children live in the Nan family for the time being.
Most adults may dream of entering the Nan family, but that wasn’t the case for the kids. They just wanted their mommy, and could care less about some huge fancy kiddy room.
Ning Ran was filming on the set that day when Cheng Xiangyun suddenly rushed over.
The director motioned for the crew to stop when he saw Cheng Xiangyun appear on camera.
“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see we’re filming a scene? Why did you just run in here like that?” The director shouted.
“Something’s happened with the kindergarten!” Cheng Xiangyun shouted.
Ning Ran’s heart sank when she heard that and asked, “What happened?”
“There’s been an explosion near the kindergarten! The entire place is in chaos right now!” Cheng Xiangyun said.
Ning Ran’s mind went blank and she ran out without even removing her costume.
Cheng Xiangyun ran after her, “Calm down, the police have already arrived at the scene. Here’s your phone.”
Right as they got into the car, Ning Ran’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.
“Hello?” Ning Ran answered shakily.
“Are you Ning Ran?” It was a man’s voice.
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
Although the man hadn’t said anything, Ning Ran could already sense malice in his voice.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Now, tell Cheng Xiangyun to get off the car and drive away by yourself, then follow my instructions. Don’t say anything, don’t call the police and don’t let anyone know about this. If you try anything funny, your child will be gone.”
Ning Ran’s legs went limp at the mention of her kids.
And the scariest part was the fact that the person knew Cheng Xiangyun was in the car with her.
This shows that her every move was being watched by the person.
So, she couldn’t do anything rash or her kids may really be in danger.
“Alright, I understand.” Ning Ran answered.
“No tricks, or you will be the reason your kids are dead.” The person hung up after saying that.
“Who called?” Cheng Xiangyun asked.
“It was the school teacher. They told me it’s very chaotic there right now, and want us to take another route. Get out of the car, I’ll drive.” Ning Ran said.
“Huh? Why? You’re emotionally unstable right now, it’s safer if I drive.”
“Pull over by the side, I’ll drive. I know a shortcut.”
“Are you kidding me? I’ve lived in Flower City for so many years now. I can sketch a map of these roads even with my eyes closed! There are no shortcuts!”
“Just pull over, do as I say.” Ning Ran tried her best to remain calm.
Since her every move was being watched, then doing as they say was the best option. At any rate, she must see her children first.
“I think it’s better if I drive.”
“Let me drive. Can’t you just listen to me this once?” Ning Ran became irritated all of a sudden.
Cheng Xiangyun was shocked by Ning Ran’s outburst. She looked at Ning Ran, and saw that her face was pale and she was behaving strangely.
In order to not make her any angrier, Cheng Xiangyun did as told and parked the car by the side of the road.
She got off the car and was about to walk over to the passenger side.
But Ning Ran didn’t get off the car. Instead, she climbed straight into the driver seat and drove off before Cheng Xiangyun could get in.
