Chapter 924 Some Strength

At first, only the supermarket customers gathered around them, but soon, passersby joined in asthey mistook the commotion for a promotional event happening inside the supermarket.

Cheng Xiangyun suddenly realized that the growing crowd made it impossible for her to navigatethrough with Ning Ran.

Moreover, the crowd wasn't just comprised of their fans; there were also opportunists takingadvantage of the commotion.

“Make way, or I'll call the police!” Cheng Xiangyun demanded in panic.

Ning Ran also regretted not listening to Cheng Xiangyun. I should've stayed in the car instead ofcoming here. We're in huge trouble now!

Right at that moment, a tall and strong person forcefully pushed his way through the crowd,shoving aside anyone who stood in his path.

It was Qiao Zhan.

"Get out of my way, or I'll break your legs!" he growled.

Those who refused to give up tried pushing their way to the front, but Qiao Zhan reached out andbrought them down.

He was able to successfully extricate Ning Ran from the throngs of people after preventing themfrom getting any closer.

Qiao Zhan's Jeep was parked at the entrance of the supermarket, so they quickly hopped into hiscar after coming out.

“My car is still here. I need to drive it away!” Cheng Xiangyun exclaimed.

“Give me your key, and I'll arrange for someone to drive it away later. Don't go back there and causetrouble for yourself now,” Qiao Zhan reminded her.

Ning Ran's heart was still thumping furiously. She had never encountered anything that frighteningbefore.

Previously, she found it amusing how Zheng Lunlun's fans would block him. She never thought thatshe would be in the same situation one day, and now it was a terrifying experience for her.

"Why didn't you show up earlier? That wouldn't have happened if you came earlier. We were tooweak to defend ourselves,” Cheng Xiangyun complained.

“Sir Chen heard that you didn't bring any bodyguards out this time and told me to come here tohelp out if necessary. I had no idea you'd be surrounded. What kind of assistant are you? Ispecifically told you to not let Madam get out of the car. Why didn't you do that?” Qiao Zhanchided.

"Why are you yelling at me? I didn't ask her to get out of the car. I went to the supermarket to buysome water for her, but then I had a stomachache and had to go to the restroom. By the time Ireturned, she was already surrounded—"

"As her assistant, that is your job!" Qiao Zhan interjected.

“You're being unreasonable! Who are you to reprimand me, huh?”

They both started arguing in the vehicle.

Ning Ran had previously thought of introducing Qiao Zhan to Cheng Xiangyun, but now she knew itwasn't going to work.

They held a grudge against each other and would break into a fight anytime, so they would neverend up with each other.

Ning Ran intervened, “Let's stop arguing. It was my fault. I was waiting in the car, but Cheng took awhile to buy the water. Since I got anxious, I went out to check on her. I didn't expect this tohappen. I take full responsibility, so stop blaming each other.”

Finally, the argument ceased

“Ran, I just realized how frightening it can be for a celebrity to appear in public. You should wear amask and sunglasses whenever you go out. Otherwise, you might get blocked like this again!”Cheng Xiangyun said, fear lingering within her.

Ning Ran let out a bitter chuckle. “I doubt I'll ever get used to it. Maybe today was just a fluke. Idon't think it's that serious.”

Before Cheng Xiangyun could reply, Qiao Zhan suddenly blurted out, “Sh*t!”

"What is it?” Ning Ran grew nervous.

“There are multiple cars following us. Your fans must have memorized my license plate when theysaw you getting into my car, and now they are tailing us!”

"Seriously? That's crazy! What should we do?” Cheng Xiangyun exclaimed.

Qiao Zhan turned around and gave Cheng Xiangyun a contemptuous look. “You don't even knowhow to shake off her fans. How did you even become an assistant?”

“I've never been a celebrity's assistant before. How would I know? Do you know how to shake themoff?”

“Do you think I don't know how to shake them off?” Qiao Zhan asked.

“Fine, you're the best. Hurry, shake them off. They are too crazy! Why would they follow us?” ChengXiangyun urged.

Qiao Zhan criticized harshly, “Your lack of professionalism is evident. Fans follow celebrities withoutany purpose; it's just a desire to follow. It doesn't seem like you're cut out for this job, as you comeoff as an amateur.”

Ning Ran had to tamp down her laughter. Qiao Zhan was usually quiet, but he was quite talkativetoday and kept criticizing Cheng Xiangyun until she was at a loss for words.

“You're the amateur! Stop talking nonsense. You should hurry up and shake them—"

Before Cheng Xiangyun could finish her words, Qiao Zhan abruptly turned the steering wheel anddrove into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall

He floored the accelerator even though the entrance to the parking lot was a curve.

The car careened perilously toward the wall, giving the impression that a crash was imminent, but inreality, it came within a few centimeters of hitting the wall.

Ning Ran and Cheng Xiangyun nearly screamed in panic, but Qiao Zhan was unfazed as he had totaltrust in his driving skills.

The drivers of the cars behind them weren't as capable as Qiao Zhan, so they dared not speed up.Still, they drove into the parking lot slowly one by one.

Inside the parking lot, Qiao Zhan made a few rounds before parking in a secluded spot. “Get out ofthe car and wait here. I'll get another car to pick you up later.”

“You shook them off, didn't you?” Cheng Xiangyun was baffled.

“There must be other cars waiting at the exit. When we leave, they'll immediately follow us again. It'ssafer to change to another car,” Qiao Zhan explained.

"Okay, then.”

Cheng Xiangyun and Ning Ran got out of the car and hid behind a pole.

Indeed, one of the fans’ cars soon appeared in sight. Qiao Zhan stepped on the accelerator andsped away.

"So? Don't you think he can give you a sense of security? I wanted to introduce him to you, but yourejected my offer,” Ning Ran said cheerfully.

“No! I don't like how presumptuous he is. He's a fool but pretends to be an expert,” ChengXiangyun replied, her voice dripping with disdain.

Ning Ran chuckled. “He isn't pretending. He's a real expert.”

As they spoke, a black SUV drove over and rolled to a stop before them.

Ning Ran thought Qiao Zhan was efficient enough to send a car to pick them up this fast.

The door was opened, and a man hopped out. “Ms. Ning, this way please.”

Ning Ran was about to get into the car when she saw someone in the backseat. It was a skinny manwith a pale complexion, smiling warmly at her.

Ruan Anxi!

Ning Ran instinctively took a step back, but Ruan Anxi reached out to grab her arm and pulled herinto the car.

Despite his illness and thin frame, he exhibited considerable strength.

After dragging Ning Ran into the car, the car sped away before the door could be closed.

Ning Ran turned over her shoulder to see another car behind them, which Cheng Xiangyun wasgetting dragged into.

“Ruan Anxi, let me go!”

“Ms. Ning, it has been a while since we last met. I've missed you,” Ruan Anxi said softly.

“Let me go! I have things to do!”

“What do you have to do? I can accompany you to settle your matters. Calm down.”
