Lu Jingyuan poured her a glass of water. “What happened?”

Ning Ran let out a sigh. “I'm still trying to process what's going on.”

Lu Jingyuan nodded. “In that case, get some rest first. There's no hurry. You don't have to tell me if you don't feel like it.”

At that moment, Lu Yunxue came over and leaned against Ning Ran's legs. “Ms. Ning, are you sick?”

The pale look on Ning Ran's face was the reason she asked. It was a symptom of the former's shock from the harrowing experience.

“No. I'm just feeling a little under the weather.”

Ning Ran muddled through her answer, as the matter was too complicated for a child to comprehend.

“Go play with your sister outside. I have something to discuss with Ms. Ning.” Lu Jingyuan shooed Lu Yunxue out.

After giving her mother a reluctant look, Lu Yunxue did as she was told.

“While I was in the middle of filming, Nan Chen suddenly barged onto the set and told everyone to get back...”

After relating the terrifying scene to Lu Jingyuan, Ning Ran could still feel her knees go weak.

“Such wicked men! However, how did Mr. Nan know that your body was covered in a flammable substance?” Lu Jingyuan asked.

“I'm not sure. I just believed him when he told me so, as there was no time for questions. I guess he must have received some information about it?”

“It sounds really dangerous. That said, who would want to hurt you? Is it someone from the production team?”

Ning Ran had no clue at all.
