âZheng Lunlun is attacking people!â The girl who had been questioning them was the first to react and started screaming.
Ning Ran quickly grabbed the girlâs phone and threw it into the hotpot as well.
Now that it has already come to this, I might as well do so!
Nan Xing saw that and felt it was a smart move, and was about to reach for the phone of the girl next to him as well.
But that girl was prepared for it as she dodged and ran off.
Nan Xing wouldnât chase after her, as it would be too disgraceful for a young master of the Nan family to chase after a girl for her phone. Nan Xing couldnât bring himself to do such a thing.
âHow dare you snatch our phones?! Iâm calling the police!â The girl who looked like an entertainment news reporter shouted.
âGo on, call the police then! Who are you, and where are you from? How dare you behave so rudely towards us! Do you wish to continue living in Jiangcheng? I donât care who you are, a word from me and I can make you disappear from Jiangcheng forever!â Nan Xing shouted coldly.
The girl went quiet, and just stared at her phone in the hotpot.
Anyone with some common sense in Jiangcheng knew the influence that the Nan family has.
This girl too, knew that Nan Xing was not bluffing when he said that.
Although he was just trying to intimidate her, the Nan family was indeed capable of such a feat.
Ning Ran took out her phone and snapped pictures of the two girls.
âWhat are you doing? Why are you taking our pictures?â The girl said anxiously.
âOh, now this is new. So you can take pictures of me, but I canât do that to you?â Ning Ran smiled coldly.
âWhy are you taking our pictures? Weâre not stars, what do you want with us?â
Ning Ran sneered, âRevenge, of course! Iâm taking your pictures for revenge! You barged into our private gathering rudely and took our pictures, and now youâre threatening us? Of course Iâd have to capture your faces on camera. How else would I get my revenge on you otherwise?â
The two girls looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
Obviously, they werenât afraid of Ning Ran, but they were afraid of Nan Xing and the Nan family.
âOur phones are already in the hotpot now, so there are no pictures taken anymore. Letâs just treat this as a misunderstanding.â her tone softened.
âNo, this is not misunderstanding. Iâm asking you, who are you and how did you know that weâre here?
Who gave you that information?â Ning Ran asked.
The girl went quiet.
She stopped talking as soon as the most important question was asked.
âYou wonât tell me? Thatâs fine, weâll find out anyway.â Ning Ran said.
She then grabbed her coat and motioned for Zheng Lunlun and Nan Xing to leave.
Now that things have become like this, they couldnât stay there any longer.
Zheng Lunlun put his mask back on and they walked out of the private room.
But they were shocked as soon as they came downstairs.
The entire place was crowded. Many of them tried to rush up the stairs but were blocked off by the restaurant staff.
The moment Zheng Lunlun appeared, everyone raised their phones and started taking pictures.
âLunlunâ¦â¦â A girlâs voice was particularly shrill.
They could recognize Zheng Lunlun even with his mask on.
âBeauty Zheng, we love you!â
No one knew if these fans were real or fake, but they all rushed over at once.
There was no stopping them, and the trio soon found themselves surrounded with no way out.
Zheng Lunlunâs mask was pulled off him in the chaos and that caused the fans to scream once again.
Ning Ran thought to herself, This is bad, how would we get out now?
We can only call the police now, otherwise thereâs no way weâre getting out of here tonight.
We shouldnât have gotten rid of the bodyguards earlier. If we brought them with us, we could at least force our way out of here.
âHey, everyone, please calm down and we can talk about this!â Ning Ran said loudly.
But everybody ignored her. She was beautiful, but the other two guys were far more attractive to the women at the scene, especially Zheng Lunlun.
These women were probably dying to get a bite of him or even take him home with them.
The circle was getting smaller as they were getting closer to Zheng Lunlun.
Some of them were even sexually harassing him, and it was impossible to tell if the person was a male or female in the chaos.
But the police have not yet arrived.
Right as they were out of options, a person came running through the crowd with an iron rod in his hand, âGet out of the way!â
Everyone stepped aside upon seeing the metal rod.
He successfully came to Ning Ranâs side, grabbed Ning Ranâs hand and ran away with her.
But Ning Ran didnât want to go with this person, because he was Feng Minsheng.
Ning Ran didnât even know where he came from and why he was here.
She didnât want to go with him but was dragged out by him anyway. The fans who were here for Zheng Lunlun got bolder as they saw that the man had only come for Ning Ran. They started squeezing towards Zheng Lunlun once again as they pushed Ning Ran out of there.
Ning Ran tried to struggle free from Feng Minshengâs grasp, but he had a very tight grip on her. She had thought that they were safe once they got out of the door, but the crowd had gotten bigger. They probably all came after word got out that Zheng Lunlun was here.
Ning Ran was disoriented from the chaos and was shoved by Feng Minsheng into a car that had been waiting outside.
Ning Ran wanted to get off the car but Feng Minsheng stopped her, âRan, get out of here. Itâs useless for you to stay here as you will only hinder them. They will definitely be able to get out of there. If you stayed behind, wouldnât you just be giving the media more excuses to write about you? Iâm sure the Nan family will have a way to settle this, right?â
Ning Ran looked at the fans who were still gathered there, and felt that Feng Minshengâs words made sense. The longer she stayed there, the more difficult it would be for her to explain her relationship with Zheng Lunlun.
Ning Ran didnât want to be in his car but she had no other choice at the moment.
Feng Minsheng closed the car door as soon as he saw that Ning Ran had stopped trying to get off the car. He then got in the driver seat and sped off.
As they got further away from the restaurant, Ning Ran started asking him coldly, âWhy are you here?â
âItâs fortunate that Iâm here. How else would you have gotten out of that situation?â Feng Minsheng said smugly.
âDid you follow me here? Have you been following me the entire time?â
âI didnât. I was just passing by.â Feng Minsheng denied her accusation.
âPassing by? Thatâs too much of a coincidence! So you just happened to be passing by when all that happened?â Ning Ran didnât believe him.
âMaybe weâre connected spiritually. I sensed that you were in trouble so I rushed over.â Feng Minsheng said.
âYou must be following me! Why are you following me? What is your motive?â
âWhat motive could I possibly have? I just like you and want to protect you. I know you like me too, and I believe we will be together in the end. I have faith in us.â Feng Minsheng had a confident look on his face.
âI told you I donât like you, and itâs impossible for us to be together. Why wonât you stop already? Iâm warning you, Feng Minsheng. Youâd better give up on whatever motives you may have right now!
Otherwise, youâll face the consequences yourself!â Ning Ran was not holding back one bit.
âRan, how could you say that to me? You didnât even thank me for saving you today, and now youâre accusing me of following you? That hurts me so much.â Feng Minsheng said.
âDonât give me that nonsense! Iâve always felt something was off about you, but I just donât have any proof right now. If I find out that you do have an ulterior motive, Iâll make you pay for it!â
