Nan Chen left anyway.

Ning Ran did not gain anything other than a nice meal.

Nonetheless, his decision was understandable. After all, if the roles were exchanged, she would nothave forked out the money either.

Even though the Nan family is rich, it was still hard-earned money and not something that could begiven just like that.

Moreover, as a prideful person, Nan Chen would be more concerned about getting conned.

Seems like I'll have to come up with another plan.

Despite his anger, Nan Chen allowed Qiao Zhan to send Ning Ran back to her living quarters.

In the morning, Luo Yi called before Ning Ran had even woken up.

“Today will be the last day. Get the money ready or be prepared for the consequences.”

“I have the money, but I can't make the transfer. You'll have to collect the cash in person,” Ning Ranresponded.

"What tricks do you have up your sleeves?” Luo Yi responded.

“I don't have any tricks. If you run away with the money I transferred without returning my mother'sashes, what should I do? I can't trust you. You'll have to bring my grandfather and my mother’s ashover to collect the cash. As for Ning Zigiang, you can do whatever you want with him. We're notrelated,” Ning Ran reasoned.

Luo Yi was silent as though she was contemplating the woman's words.

Ning Ran had to convince her and had to do so fast, to ensure that she would get a favorableanswer.

"If you don't want the money, I'll keep it for myself. My mother is no longer with me and there's nolonger any meaning to what I do for her. At least with the money, I can lead a better life. She wouldbe happy for me.”

She then continued, “I'm sending the location to Feng Minsheng’s phone so that he can send youover. Bring the item over. If you don't, you can forget about the money.”

With that, Ning Ran hung up the phone before Luo Yi had the time to digress the information.After a while, Feng Minsheng called.

Indeed, they were in cahoots. It's likely that he had spoken to Luo Yi.

“Luo Yi said you wanted to pass her the money and for me to bring her over. However, I have notreceived a location from you,” Feng Minsheng informed.

“I'll send it over once I've arrived.”

Ning Ran hung up quickly, leaving no room for second thoughts.

She then called Qiao Zhan.

Two hours later. Honghua Hotel, Room 506.

Luo Yi did not ring the doorbell as she stood at the doorstep. Instead, she checked hersurroundings.

She was carrying a huge bag that seemed to contain a heavy object.

After much inspection and concluding that everything was normal, she pressed the doorbell.

It is undoubtedly Ning Ran’s room.

She had deliberately opened the door wide to assure Luo Yi that there was no one else inside, soshe could enter at ease.

The room was small and one could easily tell that there was no one inside.

Only then did Luo Yi enter and ask, “Where's the money?”

Ning Ran pointed to a large suitcase, “It's right here. Ten million is a lot of money. I can't even shiftiE"

"Open it up and show it to me,” Luo Yi answered.

“As agreed, let me have my mother’s ashes first,” Ning Ran countered.

“I haven't even seen the money yet. How would I know if you're telling the truth?” Luo Yi queried.

“I didn’t see my mother's ashes either. How would I know if you're telling the truth?” Ning Ranrebutted

Luo Yi bent down, ready to verify the cash in the suitcase only to realize that it was rather sturdy andrequired a password to be opened.

"Open it up and let me verify the cash. I'll hand over the ashes once you do that.”

"We've spoken about this before. I'm not giving it to you if you don't give it to me!” Ning Ranretorted.

“I have the ashes in my bag. If I smash it up right now, your grandfather and your mother's asheswill get mixed up. By then, you wouldn't even be able to tell them apart. Open up the suitcase or I'llthrow the ashes out the window,” Luo Yi replied agitatedly.

“Luo Yi, let's talk peacefully and not act rash. The money is definitely here but I doubt you have theashes with you. The initiative is still in your hands. What's there to be agitated about?” Ning Rancalmly responded.

Luo Yi shut the door.

As long as I have the door shut, no one can barge in. Dealing with Ning Ran will be a piece of cake.Ning Ran motioned for Luo Yi to have a seat, but Luo Yi was being vigilant and refused.

"What do you want to talk about? There's nothing for us to discuss. You just have to hand over themoney and I'll pass you your mother’s ashes. It's as simple as that,” Luo Yi said.

“You don’t even have the ashes with you. Luo Yi, you're trying to be funny. Don't you know you'vemade life a living hell for me?” Ning Ran asked.

"How did I make life a living hell? Your father brought you up. What's wrong with asking you for abit of money?”

“You're clearing ripping me off under the pretense that my father has no money for treatment. It'sclear that you wanted ten million but you're only asking for a hundred thousand. If my father hadreally been sick and needed the hundred thousand, I would have given it no matter what it takes. *Ning Ran scowled.

She then continued, “But what you're really after is ten million. I don't have that much to offer evenif I tried. What could 1 do? I could only borrow money from the rich. Who else would fork out tenmillion? I had initially obtained that sum but you guys lied to the Nan family and declared that I wasa heartless person. As it is, the master of the Nan family got angry and refused to lend me theirmoney. So it's all on you!”

Luo Yi got anxious, “Are you trying to tell me that you don’t have the money? Did you lie to meabout the money in the suitcase?”

“I could have borrowed it. But it was all ruined because of you guys!” Ning Ran elaborated.

“So then you decided to con me with this big suitcase?”

“It's not empty. It contains an explosive device that I bought from the black market. With the pressof a button, the device would blow up. We can both say hi to my mother and you can personallyexplain to her how you've caused her death!” Ning Ran snapped.

Luo Yi didn't get the chance to react. However, she had noticed the remote controller that Ning Ranwas wielding.

“You're trying to scare me. It isn't like you to do this!” Luo Yi panicked.

“I wouldn't. But as long as it involves money, many would! Luo Yi, would you like to visit my mother?Since you guys are pushing me to the brink, let's all die together!” Ning Ran roared.

“Don't be rash! Don't be rash...We can talk about it!"

Luo Yi said that as she prepared to take a break for the exit.

“Stand there. If you dare to move, I'll hit the button. We will all die!” Ning Ran raised the remotecontroller she was holding.

“Calm down. I won't go. I won't go,” Luo Yi motioned for Ning Ran to relax.

“Can you hear it? Dah dah dah. It's the sound of the device!” Ning Ran commented.

Luo Yi listened hard. Sure enough, she heard it. This made her feel even more anxious.
