Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Ruan Anxi woke up while Ning Ran and Qiao Zhan were conversing.

He had a weak constitution and suffered from a chronic cough.

That was the reason why he studied medicine. However, he realized that while he could cure others, he couldn't

cure himself.

The weaker a person was, the more they would desire to become stronger to prove themselves.

Therefore, he gave up studying medicine. He started dabbling in business and became influential in underground

circles in South East Aploth.

Being the son of an illegitimate royal family member granted him convenience. His business flourished in the

underground circles, and he amassed great wealth.

However, his health didn't improve with his fortune. He was still a sickly man despite his increasing influence.

Some problems couldn't be solved with money. To him, as long as the matter was something that could be settled

with money, it was trivial.

Of course, for those who did not have money, financial stress was a problem they could not solve.

Ruan Anxi had actually brought his subordinates here. However, he instructed them to leave when he realized no

one was in the house.

He stayed in the room by himself. On one hand, he wanted to try his luck on whether Lu Jingyuan would suddenly

return.

On the other hand, he also wished to investigate Lu Jingyuan's home in order to find some clues.

Coincidentally, Ning Ran and the others arrived right when Ruan Anxi's subordinates left.

Ruan Anxi was a person who liked silence. He was different from those hooligans who enjoyed parading around with

a group of subordinates to put on airs.

He would never bring anyone if he knew he could handle the matter alone.

They would only expose themselves if there were too many people on the task.

Therefore, he was able to protect himself with just a scalpel for so many years.

Rather than protecting his safety, his hundreds of subordinates were used to safeguard his business.

Nevertheless, he met Qiao Zhan that day and the bloke was someone who was able to turn the tables whenever an

opportunity arose.

Of course, Ruan Anxi did not believe that he had lost to Qiao Zhan. He attributed Qiao Zhan's success to his

condition and Ning Ran's assistance.

After he woke up, he did not immediately open his eyes. Instead, he continued to pretend that he was unconscious.

Hence, he heard Ning Ran's and Qiao Zhan's conversation clearly.

He didn't expect Ning Ran to care about his life and asked Qiao Zhan to save him.

If Ning Ran didn't stop Qiao Zhan, the latter would have beaten him to death with a few more punches.

Ning Ran's words saved him.

Qiao Zhan carried Ruan Anxi and prepared to move him out of Lu Jingyuan's mansion so that he wouldn't die there.

Ning Ran took out her phone and prepared to call Nan Chen to tell him what had happened and to ask him how she

should deal with Ruan Anxi.

She wanted to inquire if she should take him to the hospital first or call the police and wait for them to come and

handle the situation.

However, when Ning Ran's call connected, she heard snickering before she could even speak.

She raised her head and noticed Ruan Anxi was conscious and holding a scalpel on Qiao Zhan's carotid artery.

He only needed to cut Qiao Zhan lightly for the latter's blood to gush out and the poor man would die before the

ambulance arrived due to loss of blood.

Didn't Qiao Zhan kick Ruan Anxi's scalpel away from the latter? Why does he have another one in his hand? Does

that mean he has more than one? Also, when did he regain consciousness? Didn't he spit out a mouthful of blood as

if he was about to die?

“Don't do anything rash! Don't hurt him!” Ning Ran said with a trembling voice.

Ruan Anxi asked in a low voice, “You told him not to kill me just now, so I owe you one. There are two of you, but I

can let one live. You can choose if it is you or him?”

Ning Ran couldn't give him an answer.

She didn't want Qiao Zhan or her to die.

It seemed that she had made a wrong decision and brought harm to Qiao Zhan. This would not be happening now if

she had let him kill Ruan Anxi earlier.

It would be her fault if Qiao Zhan died. She'd feel guilty about it for the rest of her life.

“Choose quickly. I can let one of you live.” Ruan Anxi smiled.

“Let me die. Do it. If you're a man, you need to promise that you will not lay a hand on Madam,” Qiao Zhan said.

“Okay, at least you're loyal enough. Do you have anything to say to her? Say your last words,” Ruan Anxi uttered.

Qiao Zhan thought about it and sighed. “I don't have any last words, but you have to promise me that you won't

hurt her.”

“I already said it. I can let one of you live.”

“Do it, then. Give me a quick death.” Qiao Zhan closed his eyes.

“No!” Ning Ran screamed.

“Are you willing to die for him, then? It is his responsibility to die to protect you.” Ruan Anxi grinned.

“He can't die! You should let us go. Although I told him not to hit you anymore, I wouldn't have been able to stop

him if he wanted to kill you. So, he's the one who spared you. It wasn't me. You owe him one, so you can't kill him.”

It was a miracle Ning Ran was able to think of such reasoning in a panic.

Ruan Anxi heard her words and thought about it. “It does sound reasonable. However, only one of you guys can

live. Since he volunteered, I'll grant his wish. Carry me to the entrance there.”

Qiao Zhan bellowed, “If you're going to kill me, do it quick! Stop wasting time!”

“You have to listen to me, or else I won't give you a quick death. I'll slice you up slowly and take out your organs one

by one. I'm good at this,” Ruan Anxi replied.

Qiao Zhan was not afraid of dying, but he didn't want to be dismembered and dissected like an animal.

Therefore, he had no choice but to carry Ruan Anxi to the entrance.

Ning Ran followed right behind them.

“Leave the mansion and get in the car,” Ruan Anxi uttered.

Qiao Zhan could only follow his instructions and carried him onto the back seat of his jeep.

The scene of a man carrying another man, as the latter had a scalpel on the former's artery, was rather strange

and frightening.

“You drive,” Ruan Anxi said to Ning Ran.

Ning Ran sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

As long as Ruan Anxi hadn't killed Qiao Zhan, there was a chance of them surviving. That situation was what Ning

Ran wanted.

After starting the car, Ruan Anxi's hand suddenly moved and shifted his scalpel from Qiao Zhan's neck to Ning

Ran's.

He was so swift that the bulky Qiao Zhan couldn't react quickly enough in such a small and narrow space.

“Okay, you can get off the car. I will let you go for her sake.” Ruan Anxi smiled.

“I won't get off the car! You promise to let Madam go!” Qiao Zhan roared.

“That's enough. I won't kill her. However, if you refuse to get off, I'll do it,” Ruan Anxi said sinisterly.

“Qiao Zhan, you should get off the car. I'm okay. He promised me that he won't hurt me.” Although Ning Ran

seemed calm on the surface, she was panicking.

“You have to keep your promise!” Qiao Zhan said to Ruan Anxi.

“I'll count to three. If you don't get off the car, I'll kill her. One—”
