Chapter 717 Stay Away

However, Nan Chen did not think that he was being paranoid. He was certain that things were not that simple.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to Livingsfill in the middle of the night.

“Drive faster. I want to be there to witness the scene personally,” Nan Chen continued. As such, Nan Xing had no

choice but to slam on the accelerator and speed all the way to their destination.

Finally, they arrived at the film set. “Sir Chen, don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen. They are just filming as usual

inside,” Qiao Zhan reported.

Nan Chen took a look at the surroundings and noticed that a few new buildings had been constructed nearby. Those

buildings had a peculiar style and did not look like the other buildings around them.

They must have been built for the new movie. This place could possibly be a new tourist attraction in the future.

If the movie turns out to be a hit, people would be interested to come here and visit to have a first-hand experience

of the filming process.

Just as Nan Chen was about to enter the film set, he was stopped by Nan Xing.

“Chen, they are filming inside. It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to just barge in like that,” Nan Xing reminded.

“Huh?”

“You’re their big boss. If you show up, they would certainly pause shooting to report the filming progress to you. If

that’s the case, they wouldn’t be able to proceed with the filming smoothly, right? Besides, if the director sees you,

he would probably clear Ning Ran’s schedule for the rest of the day, and that would affect the entire crew. Why

don’t you just wait for a while? After they are done with the shoot for today, you would be able to leave with Ning

Ran,” Nan Xing said.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Nan Chen turned away as his brother’s words did make sense.

“If that’s the case, I won’t interrupt their filming progress. Qiao Zhan, go in and get the assistant director to come

out now. I have some questions for him,” Nan Chen said.

“Understood, Sir Chen.”

Soon, the assistant director walked out of the film set. When he saw Nan Chen, he was so shocked that his knees

almost gave way. Why is our big boss here? Is this supposed to be a private visit?

“Sir Chen, we were not informed of your arrival. I’ll get everyone out to welcome you at once…”

The assistant director got such a bad shock that his forehead was already covered with beads of perspiration.

Nan Chen gave a dismissive wave and replied, “You don’t have to be so nervous as I’m just here to take a look.

There’s no need to let them know that I’m here. I would like to ask you something. Has any newcomer joined the

production team recently?”

The assistant director answered with certainty, “No. The production team members are already fixed. The actors

and actresses were confirmed a long time back as well. It’s impossible to have any last-minute changes. As such,

there wouldn’t be any newcomers to the team.”

Nan Chen did not seem satisfied with that answer and questioned further, “Are you very sure? I think you should

give some careful thought to it before answering me.”

The assistant director replied nervously, “I… I did think about it carefully. Besides, each department has a team

leader. Let me check with them again.”

“What are you guys filming today?” Nan Chen asked abruptly.

“It’s a scene where the female lead teleports to a parallel universe where she witnesses the version of her in that

universe celebrating her birthday…”

“Would there be a birthday cake? Would she have to blow out candles?” Nan Chen asked.

“Yes…”

Before the assistant director could finish his sentence, Nan Chen had already dashed into the film set.

Meanwhile, inside the film set, the candles had already been lit. The rest of the lighting had been dimmed, and Ning

Ran was getting ready to blow out the candles.

“Wait! Stop!” Nan Chen suddenly appeared and shouted.

Everyone was shocked, and the lights were turned back on again. The director stopped the filming at once and said,

“Sir Chen, what brings you here?”

As Nan Chen approached Ning Ran, his expression changed drastically. “Everyone, step back! Stay at least three

meters away from us. Security, surround me!”

Everyone was stunned, including Ning Ran, who was feeling extremely baffled. “What’s going on? Why are you so

flustered?”

“Keep quiet. Security, form a circle around us and get everyone to move back!” Nan Chen yelled.

Qiao Zhan hurried into the film set and asked, “What’s wrong, Sir Chen?”

“Get some men to surround us, and don’t let anyone come near! Kill anyone who comes near us!” Nan Chen

hollered.

Qiao Zhan was shocked at Nan Chen’s order. Kill anyone who goes near them? That’s not Sir Chen’s usual style at

all.

However, since Nan Chen had given his instructions, if there was anyone who did not listen and insisted on crossing

the boundaries, Qiao Zhan would have no choice but to kill them.

“Stay away! No one is allowed to come near! Stay as far away as you can!” Qiao Zhan shouted as a murderous

glint flashed across his eyes.

In fact, the man was exuding murderous intent. Chief Qiao was finally showing the ruthless side of him.

As such, everyone retreated backward, staying as far away as they could.

Meanwhile, Nan Chen removed his jacket and wrapped it around Ning Ran.

Ning Ran was deeply puzzled by the man’s actions. She was already dressed in thick layers of clothes for filming

purposes. Besides, the weather in Livingsfill was not cold at all. As such, she could not figure out what Nan Chen

was doing.

However, she trusted the man and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.

If it were someone else, Ning Ran would probably have thought that they had gone crazy. However, given that it

was Nan Chen, Ning Ran knew that something serious was happening.

That was because Nan Chen would not behave in such an aggressive and anxious manner over small matters.

Nan Chen wrapped his arms around Ning Ran as he escorted her outside before asking Qiao Zhan to open the car

door for her to get in. Meanwhile, Nan Chen himself took the driver’s seat.

After that, he started the car engine and turned the air-conditioning to its coldest setting. Instantly, it was freezing

inside the car.

“What’s going on?” Ning Ran asked, shivering from both the cold and nervousness.

“There’s a highly-flammable substance on your filming outfit. Once it comes into contact with fire, it will explode

into flames. However, you don’t have to worry. I will handle it properly,” Nan Chen replied in a deep voice.

“What? How did that happen?” Ning Ran was shocked to hear that.

“Someone from the film set must have done it. That’s why I ordered everyone to stay away. But there’s nothing for

you to worry about. I will find out what happened. On the way here, I saw a pond right ahead. When we reach

there, we will get into the pond together to wash off the chemical substance from your body. We will be safe after

that,” Nan Chen said.

“If that’s the case, does it mean that I’m a flammable object now? What if I self-combust suddenly? You should stop

the car by the side and drop me off. I will go and wash off the chemical myself. I can’t drag you into this!”

At that moment, Ning Ran was truly terrified.

She was not only worried about herself but also that Nan Chen would be hurt if she suddenly burst into flames.

Besides, she knew that Nan Chen had wrapped her so tightly in his arms earlier because he was worried that

someone from the crowd would toss a flame at them suddenly.

If someone was intentionally causing harm, that person had to be someone among the production crew.

If a flame was suddenly thrown at them, it would be impossible for them to put it out in time. If that happened, Ning

Ran would become a human torch.

It was only then that Ning Ran realized how dangerous it was for the man back then.

He would have gotten some flammable substance on him as well, given how close he had been to her. If she really

had burst into flames, Nan Chen would not have been spared from getting hurt.

“Get out of the car right now. You shouldn’t be here with me!” Ning Ran exclaimed, almost breaking into a sob.

“Don’t be silly. Do you really think I would abandon you? Just stop it. We are reaching the pond soon. Although the

water is rather dirty, we don’t really have other options. Let’s jump into the pond together,” Nan Chen said.

“Why are you so silly? You could have just told me and let me handle it by myself. It was so dangerous for you to

come so close to me! If anything bad happens to you because of me, even if I die, I wouldn’t be able to die in

peace. Do you know that?” Ning Ran was no longer able to hold back her tears as she spoke.

“You’re the silly one. I won’t let anything happen to you. All right. Stop talking now. You’re too noisy,” Nan Chen

replied.
