Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 785

The car finally arrived at Yaleview of Gerton.

However, Ruan Anxi did not go toward the city. Instead, he went to a remote suburb.

Ning Ran couldn't help but ask, “Where are we going?”

“I got someone to arrange a homestay. The environment there is quieter. Get some rest first, and we'll enter the city after that,” Ruan Anxi answered.

“Well. Fair enough. A bad guy like you won't dare to get accommodation in the city because you'll reveal yourself easily for staying at a hotel,” Ning Ran responded with a cold snort.

Yet, Ruan Anxi remained unfazed and took out a wet tissue to carefully wipe his scrawny hands while talking to Ning Ran. “I'm not afraid of being exposed. Otherwise, why would I allow you to make a phone call? When I let you call Nan Chen, you'll surely tell him where you are, so it's not difficult for him to find us. But he'll be paranoid and won't dare to cause any trouble as long as you're with me.”

“Then why aren't you staying at a hotel in the city but staying in a homestay instead? It's apparent that you're scared!”

Ruan Anxi threw the wet tissue into the trash can and lifted his head to glance at Ning Ran. “I simply like peace. It's too noisy in the city, so I chose the suburb.”

“What an excuse. You're just feeling guilty!” Ning Ran continued to provoke Ruan Anxi.

But Ruan Anxi was unperturbed. “I know you're trying to make me stay in the city so that the Nan family can find us easily. Don't worry. I'll ensure that they can locate you. Hence, it's the same no matter where we are staying. Let's stay here and take a break before we enter the city to enjoy a feast.”

“You dare to enter the city? You're like a rat that lives in the sewage.” Ning Ran kept making waves.

Ruan Anxi shook his head. “No, no, no. I'm a rat that can be out in the open. Hmm. That doesn't sound right either. I'm not a rat but a wolf.”

“You're a venomous snake!” Ning Ran fumed.

“Sure. If I'm a snake, I want to be the king cobra.”

Amid their conversation, the car suddenly stopped.

The driver in front opened the small partition window between the front and back seats. “Doctor, someone is blocking our path.”

Left with no choice, Ruan Anxi had to get out of the car, whereas Ning Ran wanted some fresh air, so she got off as well.

A young man in a floral shirt was lying on the road while holding his leg as he kept yelling.

Next to him were two other hoodlum-like young men with blond hair. It was apparent that they were thugs, given their appearance.

“What's the matter?” Ruan Anxi questioned.

The driver answered, “This guy dashed out all of a sudden and then fell to the ground, claiming that we bumped into him. But that's not the case.”

“Bullshit! You have clearly knocked him down. How can you deny it? His leg is even injured because of you. You have to pay us!” one of the thugs asserted.

Anyone with a clear mind could see it was a slander case as his acting was too exaggerated.

Initially, the guy lying on the floor was holding his right leg, but after shouting a few times and speaking a few words, he changed to grasping his left leg.

More importantly, both his legs were not injured. There was not even a superficial wound or scratches on them.

“I'm a surgeon. Let me take a good look at you. If you're severely injured, you should go to the hospital for a check-up and treatment,” Ruan Anxi uttered gently.

As he spoke, he squatted down and was about to check the thug out.

However, the other thug pushed Ruan Anxi away. “What are you doing? A surgeon? You freaking look like a patient. How could you be a surgeon? Are you trying to avoid bearing the responsibility? Pay the compensation!”

Since Ruan Anxi had a weak constitution, he almost fell when he got pushed.

As soon as the driver saw the situation, he reached for something around his waist, but Ruan Anxi gestured with his eyes to stop the former.

Meanwhile, Ning Ran felt worried for the three thugs. I understand they are faking an accident to extort money, but why did they have to mess with someone like Ruan Anxi? How dare they provoke him? They will probably lose their lives because of this. Yet, they are trying to ask for money?

For a moment, Ning Ran had already spotted the murderous intent in Ruan Anxi's gaze.

Although Ning Ran thought those thugs were annoying, she couldn't let Ruan Anxi kill them. After all, they were still young. Hence, she decided to advise them.

“Hey, come here,” Ning Ran said to one of them.

In fact, that thug had been staring at Ning Ran because she was so beautiful.

As the trio had never seen such a pretty woman before, their gazes roamed over Ning Ran.

Naturally, he was delighted to hear Ning Ran call him out. He then followed Ning Ran to the other side.

“I can tell that you guys are faking an accident, so you guys should stop putting on an act. I'm worried you will get into trouble,” Ning Ran reminded him in a low voice.

“What the f*ck? What are you talking about? How can you say that, b*tch? My friend has collapsed on the ground, yet you claimed that we faked an accident? F*ck you! Shut the hell up!”

Ning Ran had been kind enough to warn him and did not expect that he would insult her, so his words made her blood boil.

“Mind your words! Who are you calling a b*tch? You'll be safe if you stop it now. If you insist on doing so, you'll surely die!” Even though Ning Ran got scolded, she reminded him about the risk again.

“D*mn it! B*tch, are you trying to defend your man? Fine. Come with us then. You guys don't have to pay the compensation as long as you accompany us and have fun for a few days. We'll handle the treatment fee ourselves,” said the thug as he reached out to grab Ning Ran's hand.

Ning Ran wanted to slap him, but she decided to hold back and only brushed his hand off. “Don't touch me!” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

The killer instinct filled Ruan Anxi's eyes again. “Don't touch her. How much do you guys want?”

The trio was thrilled when they heard that.

“Ten thousand! Pay us ten thousand, and let this woman come with us. My friend is injured, so someone needs to take care of him. She can only leave after he's healed.”

As the trio spoke, they exchanged glances with each other, and smugness was written all over their faces.

Just then, a few cars appeared from behind, and Ning Ran knew that those were Ruan Anxi's subordinates.

She felt worried for the thugs again. Are they really courting death?

“How about you pay them the money?” Even Ning Ran found herself ridiculous for making such a request to Ruan Anxi. This a*s is the big shot of the underworld, yet these guys are blackmailing him. How would he give in?

Despite that, Ruan Anxi agreed to that and looked at the driver. “Give them the money.”

The driver went to the driver's seat to bring over a stack of cash before handing it to one of the thugs.

“And that woman has to come with us. She is responsible for taking care of my friend's daily life. She can only leave when his leg has recovered.”

Ning Ran sighed inwardly. Indeed, I can't stop someone when he's the one asking for trouble.

“Get in the car then. Leave with us. Let's find a place to stay and recuperate,” Ruan Anxi suggested.

The thugs exchanged glances and communicated wordlessly before asking Ruan Anxi, “Where are you heading to?”

“You'll find out when you get in the car,” Ruan Anxi answered.

Once again, Ning Ran warned, “Don't get in the car!”

But the trio interpreted her response as she was terrified.

“Sure. We'll get it then. Let this woman serve us.” The thug then pointed at Ruan Anxi. “Hey, weakling. You sit next to the driver. My friends and I will sit with her at the back.”

“Okay, please get into the car.” Ruan Anxi signaled the driver to open the RV door.

The thug, who lay on the ground, got back on his feet and entered Ruan Anxi's car.

After that, Ruan Anxi gestured for the driver to follow them into the car and closed the car door.
