After dinner, Ning Ran was brought to the riverside by Nan Chen again.
Nan Chenâs 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?
âJust tell me what it is that you want. I donât owe you any money, so why have you brought me all the way here?!â Ning Ran said loudly.
She tried to speak as loud as she could to counter the pressure that Nan Chen was giving her.
âWhy did you do that?â Nan Chen asked coldly.
âI had to!â 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.
âHelpâ¦â¦â
Before Ning Ran could finish, Nan Chen pulled her back again.
âIf you kill me, I wonât forgive you even if I turn into a ghost!â Ning Ran still had a lingering fear in her heart. She had really felt Nan Chenâs murderous intent just now, and her feet were still weak from it.
âYou unrepentant woman!â Nan Chen was furious.
âWhy should I repent? I didnât do anything wrong! Thatâs what Iâve always been doing!â Ning Ran said.
âYouâve always been causing harm to others?â
âWhat do you mean by that? What harm have I caused by saving my own children?â
Nan Chen realized that they were not talking about the same thing.
Was this woman playing dumb to divert attention?
âWhy did you hurt Lunlun?â Nan Chen asked coldly.
âHuh? Since when I hurt him?â I just havenât returned the money I owed him. He is so rich â hundreds of thousands are nothing to him anyway. Besides, itâs not like Iâm never going to pay up. Iâm just not paying up for the time being!â
Nan Chen was confused again. What is this woman talking about?
Weâre 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!
âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â Ning Ran felt that she needed to get a clear answer from him.
âZheng Lunlunâs 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!â
âI know this, Dabao told me about it.â
And then there was silence.
âAh, you suspect that I did it to him?â Ning Ran said as she suddenly realized what was going on.
âWho else could it be?â Nan Chenâs voice sounded like it was from hell itself.
âWhy me? How are you so sure that it was me? Just because you donât like me? Well, I donât like you either, so I think it was you!â Ning Ran exclaimed.
âHe is my nephew; of course I will not harm him!â
âHeâs like a brother to me, that makes me even more unlikely for me to harm him!â
Nan Chen was extremely furious but couldnât do anything about Ning Ran.
He couldnât bring himself to do something like hit a woman.
But his anger was burning so strongly that he didnât know what to do.
Out of anger, Nan Chen shouted, âGet lost!â
Ning Ran was confused; This is a forest. Where would she go?
But Ning Ran didnât 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, sheâd surely die.
Besides, if it wasnât for him, she wouldâve 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 wasnât that meticulous.
âIt really wasnât me.â Ning Ran said slowly, âThere is no need for me to do such a thing.â
In a state of fury, Nan Chen did not speak and just exuded cold air and hostility as he stood there.
âI was with Dabao and Erbao the whole time. They can testify for me.â Ning Ran said.
Nan Chen remained silent.
âIf you donât believe me, then thereâs nothing I can do. I swear, I really wasnât the one who harmed Zheng Lunlun!â Ning Ran said.
Naturally, Nan Chen doesnât believe in things like swearing.
But he did believe in one thing, that is Ning Ran saying that Dabao and Erbao being able to testify.
As wicked as Ning Ran may be, she wouldnât harm others using her childrenâs name.
Dabao and Erbao wouldnât allow Ning Ran to do such a thing either.
Especially Dabao, as he had wanted to rescue Zheng Lunlun so badly, so he wouldnât possibly let Ning Ran do that to Zheng Lunlun.
âIf not you, then who?â Nan Chen finally spoke.
Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief.
As long as he speaks, thereâs still a possibility of communication.
âLuo Fei.â Ning Ran answered.
âWhat makes you think she did it?â
âI canât say for sure, but sheâs the only one who would dare do such a thing. Perhaps Zheng Lunlun has some dirt on her and she doesnât want him to wake up.â
Nan Chen didnât agree with Ning Ranâs point.
Luo Fei and Zheng Lunlun had come together, so why would Luo Fei want to harm him?
âDo you have proof?
Ning Ran who had calmed down a lot more got angry again when she heard that.
So I need proof for suspecting Luo Fei but you donât need any to suspect me?
Do I have the word Killer written on my head or something?
âYou didnât have proof for suspecting me either. I know what kind of person Luo Fei is, thatâs why I think she did it. Itâs fine if you donât believe me, because I didnât need you to anyway.â
Nan Chen kept quiet as he heard that.
While Ning Ran and Nan Chen were arguing at the riverside, Dabao and Erbao were having a discussion in the tent.
The topic of their discussion was also about whoever it was that harmed Zheng Lunlun.
âIt must be that annoying woman!â Erbao was very certain.
Dabao motioned for Erbao to keep her voice down to not be heard by others.
âBut she came with Blondie. They are friends, so why would she do that?â Dabao asked.
Erbao couldnât answer.
She didnât know much. She just found Luo Fei annoying and if anyone did something bad, it must be her.
âIf it really was her, then we must be careful.â Dabao said.
âWould she harm us?â
âItâs possible.â Dabao nodded solemnly.
âThen we must tell Uncle Nan Chen!â
âWe canât. Uncle Nan Chen knows it well.â Dabao reminded.
Erbao was getting a little impatient. We canât do this, we canât do that, then what can we do?
âLetâs go ask her.â She finally had an idea.
âShe wonât admit it. We need to find a way to get some proof.â Dabao said.
âBrother, youâre the smartest, so you think of an idea.â Erbao said.
âI need your cooperation as well for it to work.â
Dabao gave it some thought and shook his head, âNo, this is difficult.â
Erbao didnât know what her brother was thinking about and why he rejected his own thoughts either.
At that moment, someone entered the tent. It was Luo Fei.
She saw Nan Chen and Ning Ran leave, so she came over to get some information.
âSweetie, arenât you asleep?â Luo Fei asked with a smile.
âGet out, I donât like you.â Erbao had always been direct.
âSweetie, do you have some misunderstanding towards me? I actually like kids a lot, and Iâm a huge star.â Luo Fei said.
Dabao and Erbao looked at each other, Mommyâs the real superstar. Who do you think you are?
