Chapter 936 Join In The Fun
Nan Chen frowned, his gaze turning chilly.
“Lower your head, Darling,” he ordered softly.
Erbao docilely laid her head on her father's shoulder so no one could take her picture.
“Raise your head, girl!”
“Look here! Look here!”
The fans might not necessarily like her for real, merely having discovered a girl who starred in a movie, thus
wanting to snap a photo of her and upload it to WeChat Moments.
On top of that, some might be even doing it for financial gains.
The purpose of many amateur paparazzi in taking photos and videos was to sell them to online platforms for profit.
During the walk to the car, Erbao kept her head lowered without lifting it for even a second.
Some among the crowd who trailed after them grew irritated as they could not get a clear picture of her face. They
shouted at her to raise her head incessantly.
By then, Nan Chen's expression had turned frightfully icy. He felt that his patience was reaching the end of its rope.
Still, the crowd was dissatisfied and pressed even closer. One of them even thrust his phone right into the man's
face.
He lowered his head a fraction, suppressing the fury blazing within him.
One of the bodyguards stepped in front of him. “Please move away!”
“We're taking pictures of the little girl. Tell her to lift her head so we can get a clear photo!” someone yelled.
“Exactly! This girl isn't unsightly, so why can't we take pictures of her?”
“She starred in a movie, making money off us, but we can't even snap a photo of her?”
The crowd was beyond shameless.
Nan Chen quickened his pace, upon which they followed in a trot.
Out of the blue, someone reached out to tug at Erbao, attempting to get her to lift her head from Nan Chen's
shoulder for them to take pictures of her.
Seeing that, a bodyguard delivered a kick over without delay.
There were principles bodyguards adhered to in getting physical. When someone might endanger the person they
were protecting, they would unhesitatingly make a move.
All the bodyguards were aware of Nan Chen's bottom line. Furthermore, they were already livid that the crowd was
harassing Erbao.
However, Nan Chen had not said anything, so they did not dare make a move without authorization.
Since the crowd had reached out toward Erbao then, they had no choice but to act.
“They just hit somebody! A person got struck!” someone cried out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeveral men rushed forward, prepared to fight the bodyguards.
As the bodyguards had already gotten physical with a person, they decided to go all out. Raining punches and kicks
on the few men, they laid them out and smashed their phones.
Meanwhile, Nan Chen had already reached the car. A bodyguard swung open the car door, and he climbed into the
car. In the next heartbeat, the vehicle sped off.
Throughout the entire process, a key person was missing. Naturally, it was none other than Qiao Zhan.
At present, Qiao Zhan was still watching the movie in the cinema.
He had brought many subordinates that day to ensure Nan Chen and his family's safety. Thanks to that, he had no
qualms about buying a ticket and watching the movie relaxedly.
Unexpectedly, the movie ended up too interesting. Like Dabao, he got immersed in it.
As a result, he was oblivious to everything that happened outside until he received a call from Nan Chen.
In a flash, Qiao Zhan jumped in fright. As a security personnel, he had actually got so absorbed in watching a movie
that he had forgotten all about his job.
That was a grave dereliction of duty. Fortunately, Nan Chen and Erbao were safe and sound. Otherwise, the
consequences would have been severe.
On the phone, Nan Chen instructed him to devise a way to ensure that Ning Ran and Dabao could leave safely
without being harassed by the fans outside after the movie ended.
Qiao Zhan immediately started making the arrangements.
But in reality, it was already too late.
The photos of Erbao buying ice cream had been uploaded to the internet by fans. She was too beautiful and
adorable in them, leading to them being circulated rapidly by countless netizens.
Some big platforms also reposted them. In no time, news of the little female lead of I Am You being spotted at a
movie theater watching a movie spread on the internet.
The patrons in the shopping mall were young people in the first place. Whenever there were any waves on the
internet, they would promptly catch wind of the matter.
When they saw the pop-up notification and discovered that the incident transpired at the mall they were at, they
naturally wanted to join in the fun.
Regardless of whether they were eating hotpot or playing games, they all flocked to the floor where the movie
theater was located.
Nearby were a few major entertainment complexes, and they all rushed over as well upon seeing that the incident
took place a stone's throw away.
As soon as the shopping mall's management and movie theater came across the news, they similarly felt that it
was a golden opportunity to promote themselves and create hype. Hence, they shared it at once.
In the era of mobile internet, the speed at which information spread surpassed that of a typhoon. In just half an
hour, droves of people gathered at the shopping mall and the movie theater where Ning Ran and the others were.
Right then, Ning Ran was still in the dark about everything that was unfolding out there. She was enjoying her own
movie with peace of mind.
Qiao Zhan was the first to notice something amiss. When he was making arrangements to move Ning Ran and
Dabao, he found that the upper and lower floors of the shopping mall were already packed with people.
As a matter of fact, all these people had no idea that Ning Ran was still there. They had merely come over for the
fun of it.
After all, a movie's female lead appearing in real life meant they could see a celebrity up close. No one would easily
allow that opportunity to slip.
Besides, people who were shopping undoubtedly had a good deal of time on their hands. They were free anyway,
so they had come over to be part of the crowd.
Qiao Zhan made a call to Nan Chen. He was clearly panicking.
“The number of people in the shopping mall has abruptly doubled, Sir Chen, and it's perpetually increasing! I'm
worried that things would get out of hand!”
Nan Chen said nothing. That matter had developed far beyond everyone's expectations.
At his silence, Qiao Zhan grew even more anxious. “I'm sorry. It was my dereliction of duty.”
In truth, Nan Chen was not blaming the man but merely wracking his own brain for a solution.
“It's not your fault. No one expected the matter to come to this. There's always something unexpected, no? Just
ensure Ning Ran's and Dabao's safety,” Nan Chen replied.
“That's for sure! I will never allow anything to happen to Madam and Little Master,” Qiao Zhan vowed. “I'll discuss
things with a few men now and see whether we should mobilize some help.”
“Do as you see fit. Prevent the matter from escalating as much as possible.”
“Okay. Are you and Little Miss okay?”
“We're fine. It's just that the crowd at the parking lot crossed the line, and some conflict occurred. We've already
left.”
“Great. In that case, I'll make arrangements to ensure Madam's and Little Master's safety.”
After getting off the phone, Qiao Zhan returned to the movie theater and looked for Ning Ran.
“There's a mass of people outside. We might need to leave early,” he murmured.
“What about Nan Chen and Erbao?” Trepidation flooded Ning Ran.
“Sir Chen and Little Miss are fine. They've already left safely. But the crowd is getting bigger. They're likely here to
see Little Miss, unaware you're still in the movie theater.”
“Will I be recognized when I exit later?” Ning Ran's panic mounted.
“Probably not. I'll make some arrangements, and we'll leave before the movie ends.”
“Okay. Notify me and Dabao when you're done making the arrangements.”
While Ning Ran and Qiao Zhan discussed a way to leave safely, Dabao's attention remained fixed on the movie.
The movie starring his mother and sister happened to be the genre he liked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he watched the movie, he even got to see his mother. It was something that brought him great joy.
He was not concerned about what his mother and Qiao Zhan were whispering about in the least, believing that the
latter could settle everything.
