Two hours later, Ning Ran and Ruan Anxi arrived at a teahouse in the city.

Just like always, they ordered food from the neighboring restaurant.

No sooner had they taken their seats than Nan Chen arrived.

He was only let in after Ruan Anxi gave the okay.

At that, words eluded both Nan Chen and Ning Ran.

“Why do you want to see my grandfather? You can come with me to Flower City to meet him, or I can convey to him in verbatim whatever you have to say,” Nan Chen remarked coldly.

Ruan Anxi poured a cup of tea for Nan Chen. “Are you trying to keep me in Flower City by force?”

“No. There's no bad blood between us. All this happened because of a woman called Ding Fei,” Nan Chen explained.

However, Ruan Anxi didn't respond to the revelation.

“Ding Fei is a wicked person and is using you,” Ning Ran interjected.

“In that case, why do you want to see my grandfather?” Nan Chen insisted on learning the reason.

Ruan Anxi answered candidly, “I'm not going to

If anything happens to me before I leave the country, I won't tell you how you can neutralize the poison in Ning Ran's body. You might be thinking that with the advances in modern medicine, you'll be able to treat her once you know what sort of poison it is. That would be a mistake on your part. One of my subordinates who was poisoned fled overseas with my money. Despite traveling through many developed countries and seeking the help of various specialists, he still failed to cure himself.

Back then, she had been attacked by venomous insects, and her face had decayed beyond the point of recognition. After she pleaded with me to take her in, I managed to cure her facial wounds. I'm sure you're aware that I'm a pretty competent doctor too. In spite of that, her vanity drove her to demand plastic surgery. Hence, I personally operated on her, treating her as a test subject. Even though I attended classes on plastic surgery, my practical experience was limited. That said,
