Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 819

Nan Chen's knee kick earlier injured Ruan Anxi pretty severely. The latter was clutching his chest and coughing so violently that his pale face was getting flushed.

Just as he stopped coughing, he grinned. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Is something funny?” Nan Chen questioned coldly.

“Oh yes, very much so.”

“Do you think it'll still be funny when I hand you to the police ahead of us?”

“I'm not afraid of that. After all, I don't have any criminal records in China. I'm just a foreign guest visiting your country for business. Even if they lock me up, they'll release me soon enough.”

Nan Chen gazed at Ruan Anxi with a frigid look. “You kidnapped my wife. Both she and I are witnesses to that crime. According to China's laws, you'll be imprisoned for life. Additionally, you'll probably die in prison before you can wait for a reduction in your sentence due to your poor health.”

“I'm a foreigner. Besides, I didn't kidnap anyone. I'm a law-abiding tourist.”

“I have proof that you attacked my driver before kidnapping me,” Ning Ran added.

“Plus, I can guarantee you won't be extradited to your country. Instead, you will be imprisoned in China until the day you die,” assured Nan Chen.

In response, Ruan Anxi glanced at Nan Chen before looking at Ning Ran. “Seems like you're quite the obedient wife.”

“No, it's the opposite,” Ning Ran corrected.

The look in Nan Chen's eyes turned cold. Is she serious? Why is she trying to compete with me for family status right now?

Ruan Anxi warned, “Fine. I admit, you two are ruthless. However, if any police officer tries to take me away, I'll detonate the explosive device in this vehicle. You two shouldn't doubt me on that. It's my trump card. I'd rather die than go to prison. As you two can see, my body's pretty weak. If I'm sent to prison, that is where I'll die.”

“Ruthless people shouldn't be messed with” was a saying that fit Ruan Anxi perfectly.

Despite his weak body, he still managed to rule the South East Aploth's underworld. Naturally, it meant he had a way of keeping himself alive. If he couldn't, he would take his enemies down with him.

Of course, Nan Chen wasn't going to allow himself and Ning Ran to die with Ruan Anxi. It wouldn't be worth it.

“If you don't stop harassing my family in the future, I'll kill you,” threatened Nan Chen coldly.

“I'm not. I'm simply having a chat with her. Now that you're here, I would like to converse with you as well,” Ruan Anxi replied.

“There's nothing for us to say to each other.”

“Don't be like that. While we may not follow the same path, you did cross mine. My money was stolen, and I'm here to get it back. Otherwise, my subordinates will lose their respect for me. If that happens, just about anyone will steal money from me if they feel like it. How am I supposed to manage hundreds of my subordinates, then?” Ruan Anxi's coughing stopped as he wiped his bony hands clean with a wet tissue.

“Ding Fei's indeed under my care. She's pregnant. My wife has great compassion for life, so she wants to let Ding Fei give birth first,” Nan Chen explained.

When Ning Ran heard Nan Chen call her “my wife,” she felt a little weird. It's not like I dislike it. It's just that he rarely refers to me like that. I'm still not used to hearing it.

“Pregnant?” Ruan Anxi cackled sinisterly. “That's even more of a reason for you to hand her over to me. I'll remove the baby from her abdomen myself.”

A chill ran down Ning Ran's spine when she imagined that bloody scene.

She was certain Ruan Anxi was capable of such cruelty because, to him, the more barbarous something was, the more exciting it would be.

Additionally, dissection was his strong suit.

“Now, we're definitely not going to hand her over to you! You're a disgusting b*stard!” Ning Ran cursed.

Ruan Anxi glanced at Nan Chen. “Look at how your woman is cursing at me. Why aren't you telling her to mind her words?”

Calmly, the latter replied, “Because I think she's right. You really are a b*stard.”

“You know, you won't gain anything by pissing me off.”

“I can say the same for you. In any case, you will die in Flower City, no matter what.”

Nodding, Ruan Anxi suggested, “I know I should steer clear of you, so how about we each take a step back, then?”

Nan Chen was staring daggers at him. “What do you propose?”

“I'll let Ding Fei go, but she must return the money she stole to me.”

Immediately, Ning Ran exclaimed, “Sure! I already agreed to that earlier! You were the one who refused to accept that term!”

“Now I'm accepting it. Also, I'm adding one extra condition to this deal.” As Ruan Anxi spoke, he turned to Nan Chen. “I want you to turn the money she stole into legitimate funds.”

In other words, he wanted Nan Chen to commit money laundering.

“No way,” Nan Chen refused without hesitation. “Nanshi Corporation will never carry out any illegal acts.”

That answer set a frown on Ruan Anxi's countenance. “Look at you. Even though you agreed to a compromise, you immediately went against your word. How am I supposed to negotiate with you when you're unwilling to agree to a condition? Do you really want me to take you down with me?”

“I hate it when others threaten me,” Nan Chen sneered.

Ruan Anxi shook his head. “So do I. What do we do now? I don't think we can reach an agreement.”

“Then we'll stop talking, and you can tell your driver to blow this vehicle up.”

Ning Ran's heart was racing. Is Nan Chen crazy? Why is he saying he wants us to die with this demon?

To her surprise, Ruan Anxi laughed again.

Nan Chen didn't ask why Ruan Anxi laughed, as though he already knew the latter wouldn't do it.

“You're gutsy, I'll give you that. Many people surrendered the moment I flashed them my trump card. Fine, we'll cease our discussion here. I'll continue to find Ding Fei. If I do find her, I'll carve her baby out of her body. Right now, I'll send you both back home. If anything happens to me during the ride, Ding Fei's parents are as good as dead. However, I know you two aren't bad people like me, which means you won't let others die. Am I right?”

Ning Ran thought, The negotiation failed. It's over. While Nan Chen didn't technically lose, this isn't the result I want. I think I'll still feel guilty if Ruan Anxi kills Ning Ziqiang and his wife in a fit of rage. Nevertheless, with how things are right now, I doubt there's a chance for us to turn the situation around.

“You can't leave Flower City, Ruan Anxi. While you may still commit insane acts of destruction, the gray empire you built will also crumble to dust because I'll keep you trapped in this city!” Nan Chen clamored.

Sighing, Ruan Anxi responded, “I know. I'll think about it again.”

Despite his words, he immediately came up with a new idea. “How about I take another step back? You don't need to launder my money. I'll find a way to do that myself. However, after Ding Fei delivers her child, you must hand her over to me so I can punish her. Once I have her, I'll release her parents. What do you think?”

“Sure,” Nan Chen agreed.
