When Ning Ran entered the billiard lounge, she discovered Ruan Anxi sleeping on the pool table.

“Get the hell out!” The man heard a commotion and thought it was someone else, so he waved his hand and shooed the person away.

“It's me,” Ning Ran replied.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ruan Anxi immediately jumped up. “You're here, Ran.”

The man looked paler than before, with very dry, almost peeling lips. Due to a lack of cleaning, his long hair appeared greasy, unlike his usual immaculate appearance.

Seeing Ning Ran looking at him, Ruan Anxi blushed and murmured, “We can't take a bath here, and the guy doesn't let me drink water. I can't be bothered to plead with him.”

“You can't drink water?” the woman asked incredulously.

Pointing to the bottles of liquid on the shelf, Ruan Anxi confessed sheepishly, “They're watching my every move to make sure that I don't take a sip of water. It's impossible to win a fight against them because I don't have any weapons, not to mention the fact that I'm outnumbered.”

Qiao Zhan had arranged for five to six men to watch over Ruan Anxi. They were all big and burly, albeit not as strong as their boss.

Given Ruan Anxi's small build, he would have a hard time dealing with even one of these men, let alone five or six.

“Get me a bottle of water,” Ning Ran ordered one of Qiao Zhan's subordinates.

When the men refused to budge an inch and lowered his head, Ning Ran knew that Qiao Zhan had sent his most trusted men for the job.

Qiao Zhan must have commanded them not to give Ruan Anxi any water, no matter who spoke. No wonder these people refuse to listen to my instruction.

The matter came as no surprise to Ning Ran, as it was understandable for Qiao Zhan to have loyal aides who only followed his orders. It would be challenging to accomplish anything if his men's allegiance could be swayed so easily.
