My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 785

Ten minutes later, the three thugs were thrown at the side of the road, covered in blood and barely breathing.

Ruan Anxi washed his bony hands repeatedly in the toilet of his RV while the vehicle continued to move forward.

After wiping his hands multiple times, the man poured himself a glass of warm water and took a sip before looking

up at Ning Ran. “Do you want some water?” he asked.

Ning Ran glared at him and said, “I'm not going to talk to you, you monster!”

“Why? What did I do?” Ruan Anxi asked the obvious.

“You hurt innocent people and left them by the roadside to die!” Ning Ran yelled.

Ruan Anxi shook his head and replied, “Do you even understand the meaning of the word 'innocent'? Not only did

they extort and rip off people, but they also tried to abduct you and do bad things to you. How can you still say that

they are innocent? If I hadn't interfered and let them take you away, I know for sure what would have happened to

you. Do you still think they are innocent?”

“Fine. Even if they are bad people, that doesn't justify you killing them. Those are three lives!”

“I didn't kill them. I know what I was doing. What I did was only enough to cripple them. Besides, they are not going

to die from excess bleeding as long as someone saves them within three hours. Don't worry, they will be fine.”

“But what if they are not saved within three hours? Won't they die then?”

“This is a busy road. I'm sure a lot of cars will pass by within these three hours. If no one stops to save them, that

means they are fated to die, and there is nothing I can do about it. Anyway, as long as they remain alive, they will

continue harming others,” Ruan Anxi replied nonchalantly.

“You have no regard for human life at all! You are indeed a monster!” Ning Ran bellowed.

“Well, I did not deny that.” Ruan Anxi did not seem to be affected.

Ning Ran was rendered speechless at the man's indifference.

He did not care about what others thought about him at all. Besides, he had never claimed to be a good person.

Ning Ran kept quiet and could not be bothered to speak any further.

She prayed silently that someone would stop by and save those three thugs. After all, those were three young lives.

Another ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Ning Ran got out of the car and stretched slightly before scanning her surroundings. She was surprised by how

beautiful the place was.

The homestay was next to a river, and the house was made of red bricks with wisteria growing on the walls. There

were all sorts of fresh flowers, corn, and peppers planted in the garden.

What a pity that it's Ruan Anxi, a cold-blooded monster, who's staying here.

Someone stepped forward and greeted, “Doctor, everything is ready. Please come in and rest.”

“Run a bath for this lady. She stinks,” Ruan Anxi instructed.

Being called out for smelling bad by a man made Ning Ran feel extremely awkward.

She had headed straight to Lu Jingyuan's villa after filming the previous day and did not have time to shower.

Thus, she did not expect to be kidnapped by Ruan Anxi after that.

Even though there were basic shower facilities in the RV, it was not possible for Ning Ran to shower in front of a

man.

Ning Ran went into the bathroom, and after showering, she put on a fresh set of clothes that Ruan Anxi had

prepared for her.

It was a folk costume that looked pretty stylish although it was not very comfortable to wear as it was made of a

rougher fabric.

However, under such circumstances, Ning Ran was just grateful that she had clean clothes to change into.

Ruan Anxi sized the woman up after she emerged from the bathroom.

Not only is she pretty and has a good figure, but she also exudes elegance.

This is just an ordinary folk costume, but it seems to have a different charm when it's worn by her.

Although she's an actress and often mingles with the famous and wealthy, she does not appear to be worldly at all.

In fact, she feels more like a college student.

It's really rare for someone in the entertainment industry to be able to remain so untainted.

A chill ran down Ning Ran's spine. She could not stand the way Ruan Anxi was staring at her and shot a glare back

at him.

However, Ruan Anxi was unfazed and continued staring at her. He even nodded and said, “You are a beauty both

inside and out! If we remove your skin and flesh, I'm sure whatever that is left inside would be equally

mesmerizing!”

Ning Ran was taken aback when she heard that. Is he still human?

Which sane person would see an attractive person and think of skinning them and removing their flesh? Is he

intending to make sashimi?

“Have some rest first and recoup your energy. We can take a tour in town later in the afternoon,” Ruan Anxi said.

Ning Ran was rather surprised at that suggestion. She had assumed that the man was staying there because he did

not want his whereabouts to be exposed.

However, that no longer appeared to be the case as he was not afraid of being seen in town. It seemed like he had

chosen to stay there because of the serenity that the place offered.

He's indeed of a much higher level compared to those petty criminals.

“I'm hungry. It's lunchtime,” Ning Ran said.

As the woman had not eaten much for breakfast, it was natural for her to be feeling hungry.

“Lunch hasn't been prepared. Let's eat in town later. Why don't you have a tomato first?” Ruan Anxi suggested.

“You think just because you can survive on tomatoes, it would be the same for everyone else? I'm not eating it!”

Ning Ran huffed.

“Eat an apple then. An apple contains lots of antioxidants. I'm not saying that you need any though.”

Taking a pause, Ruan Anxi instructed his subordinate, “Slice an apple for her.”

“It's fine. I can do it myself.”

Ning Ran picked up an apple and rinsed it under the tap. Just as she was about to take a bite, Ruan Anxi stopped her

and said, “It's not clean yet.”

The man took the apple from her and washed it properly a few more times before passing it back to her.

Ning Ran was at a loss for words. Why would a criminal be so particular about how clean an apple is?

Ning Ran munched on the apple while walking back to the bedroom. After entering the room, she locked the door

from the inside.

As no one disturbed her, she managed to have a good sleep and felt rejuvenated after waking up.

The woman could hardly believe that she was able to sleep so soundly even when she was being kidnapped.

However, she knew she was able to do that because she had a gut feeling that Ruan Anxi would not hurt her.

At least, as long as she did not try to escape or do anything funny, the man would not hurt her.

Although it was purely a feeling that was unfounded, Ning Ran was confident of that.

Ruan Anxi was definitely not a good person. In fact, he could be considered a villain. Moreover, his ruthlessness,

which Ning Ran had personally witnessed, was very disturbing.

Despite knowing that he was an extremely dangerous character, Ning Ran felt safe around him.

In a way, the man was rather similar to Nan Chen. He would not be a threat as long as he was not triggered.

However, if someone did something that hit a nerve, the consequences would be dire as Ruan Anxi would certainly

not show any mercy.

The only difference between the two men was that Nan Chen was a good person while Ruan Anxi was on the dark

side.

If a confrontation broke out between the two of them, Ning Ran could not be sure who would be more ruthless and

emerge victorious.

Logically, it should not be difficult for Nan Chen to find Ning Ran as she had already informed him of Ruan Anxi's

whereabouts.

However, up until then, Ruan Anxi still seemed extremely relaxed and did not seem to be worried about being found

at all.

Seeing how fearless the man was, Ning Ran could not help but worry for Nan Chen.

After all, those who were not bound by principles or morals would always have an upper hand over those who were.
