CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 625: DANGER

"Tan Biyang, I’ve finally caught up with you!" Ning Qian stood firm in front of her, beaming with joy.

However, her mood was far from joyous.

With a stern face, she placed her bag behind her without a word, "Ning Qian, I’ve told you, I have no money."

Tan Biyang was not lying; the money she had saved up was now nearly all spent. With no work on hand, she was indeed strapped for cash.

"Do you expect me to believe that? An artist from Emperor, with no money? Who would believe that if you say it out loud?" Ning Qian didn’t believe a word Tan Biyang said, so she stepped closer, "Tan Biyang, we’re friends after all. Help me out now, and when I make it big, I will definitely return the favor."

As if hearing something ludicrous, Tan Biyang gave her a scornful glance and replied indifferently, "I really have no money." She would not let outsiders know that she didn’t sign with Emperor.

That same line again!

Ning Qian was getting impatient. She stepped forward, walked behind Tan Biyang, and yanked her bag out, "Whether you have it or not, just let me have a look in your bag."

Seeing Ning Qian trying to snatch her bag, a hint of ferocity flashed in Tan Biyang’s eyes. Clinging to the bag and suppressing the anger in her heart, she said, "If you really think so, then come home with me and see for yourself."

Upon hearing that she could follow her home, Ning Qian’s eyes lit up, and she immediately let go: "Okay!"

Only then did Tan Biyang manage to retrieve her bag.

There was something very important in the bag; she couldn’t let Ning Qian find out about it, or else if she failed this time, her life would be over.

With this thought, Tan Biyang made a silent resolve not to let Ning Qian interfere with her opportunities.

Upon opening the door to the dormitory, Ning Qian walked in first, and when she saw the condition of the room, she couldn’t help but click her tongue.

"Actress Tan, are you kidding me?"

This messy and dilapidated place was where the once lavish Actress lived?

For a moment, Ning Qian almost believed Tan Biyang’s words, believed that she truly had no money.

Hearing her words, Tan Biyang closed the door and sighed, "I told you I’ve got no money, you didn’t believe me. If I did have money, would I still live in such a place?"

"That’s true!" The words had barely left her mouth when Ning Qian immediately regretted them, frowning, "Tan Biyang, I didn’t come here to listen to you complain. There’s a saying, a rotten boat still has three thousand nails, and you are not even a rotten boat yet."

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Feel free to search around the room." Having said that, Tan Biyang gestured with her hands and turned towards the kitchenette.

Seeing this, Ning Qian doubted Tan Biyang’s words again. But considering how cunning Tan Biyang was, she didn’t dare to believe her completely.

Seeing that Tan Biyang confidently let her search, Ning Qian clenched her teeth, deciding that even if she found nothing after rummaging through, she wouldn’t have any regrets.

So, Ning Qian began to search...

In the kitchenette, Tan Biyang heard the noises of rummaging and gripped the fruit knife in her hand tightly.

Ning Qian posed too big a threat and was never easily satisfied. If Tan Biyang gave in and paid her like last time, there would definitely be a next time, and a next time after that...

With that thought, Tan Biyang silently slipped the fruit knife into her sleeve. Fortunately, her sleeves were wide enough today to completely conceal a normal-sized fruit knife.

She called out, "Did you find anything?"

"Still looking~"

Ning Qian didn’t turn her head, just responded to Tan Biyang. She searched several places and didn’t find anything valuable, let alone money.

The more she searched, the more agitated she became, and she began to believe somewhat in Tan Biyang’s words.

"Did you find anything?"

Tan Biyang’s voice came from behind her as she was rummaging through the suitcase, and without thinking, she replied: "Almost~"

At that moment, she was completely unaware of the impending danger.
