Two days later, in a hotel in Livingsfill, a skinny man with a pale face was leaning on a couch, covering his mouth with a handkerchief as he coughed every once in a while.

Ding Fei quickly passed him a piece of tissue. “Are you okay? Let me get you a glass of water.”

With that, she filled a glass with warm water and brought it to Ruan Anxi.

However, Ruan Anxi took the glass only to pour its contents over Ding Fei's head.

Ding Fei did not dare to move at all as she allowed the water to trickle down her cheeks and neck.

“You said you wanted to shoot a film, so I let you do that, but now, you're telling me that the filming won't continue. What happens to the money I've invested into the film, then?” Ruan Anxi gloomily asked.

His tone was even, and his voice was high-pitched. Even though he was not shouting, his words were ear-piercing and brought discomfort to those who heard him.

“I'm sorry, Doctor. The actors suddenly decided to quit. I went to the director, but the director told me that he was going to quit his role too. Even the technicians and the other members of the production team quit.”

“Tell me why all of them suddenly quit their roles and were willing to pay the compensation! Tell me!” Ruan Anxi questioned.

The film was not important to Ruan Anxi, of course, but this was his first money-laundering project in Flower City. The project's failure would cause him huge distress, and he was starting to doubt Ding Fei's capability in laundering his money.

“I think Nan Chen pulled some strings and pressured the actors into quitting. As for the director, I'm sure he decided to quit because those actors were leaving.”

Ruan Anxi then brushed his slender fingers across Ding Fei's stiff face. “So you mean to tell me that you're not to blame for all these—that these are all because of Nan Chen? Then, let me ask you a question. Why is Nan Chen doing this? Is it because he found out about your motives? Or is it that he has found out who you really are?”

Ding Fei quickly denied it. “That's impossible. He definitely hasn't found out who I am. No way. My looks have changed. He'll never recognize me.”

“Then why is he stopping your film production? Is there no reason behind his actions at all?” Ruan Anxi asked.

Ding Fei fell silent at that.

“You're hiding something from me. If you don't tell me about it, tonight's dinner shall be your organs.” At that point, a scalpel appeared in Ruan Anxi's hand.
