Shen Youjin's pupils dilated in shock. The camera flashes hitting her felt like invisible chains, tightly constricting her throat.
She hadn't felt like this for a long time. Even though she tried hard not to recall, she still felt like she was suffocating.
She turned to look at Gu Zhiyuan, asking him with her eyes, "Did you arrange this?"
Gu Zhiyuan's face didn't look good either. "It wasn't me!"
After saying that, he immediately told someone to drive the reporters away. He wanted to come over and pull Shen Youjin to explain to her.
But Shen Youjin didn't want to listen. She just wanted to leave this place immediately.
"I don't want to see today's incident on any forum in Kyoto." After saying that, she glanced at Shen Tianzhen. "No matter who arranged this, I don't want to get involved in your affairs. You'd better behave yourself."
Shen Tianzhen's expression changed slightly, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Shen Youjin already had the answer in her heart. She turned around and left the event venue.
She never expected that Shen Tianzhen would like Gu Zhiyuan. No wonder when she was with Gu Zhiyuan, Shen Tianzhen looked at her with strange eyes.
Humph! It was the first time she had seen someone voluntarily throw themselves into the tiger's mouth. She was really curious to see what kind of end Shen Tianzhen would come to.
On the way home, perhaps because her nerves were too tense, she didn't even notice her phone ringing.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that the sense of unease still lingered in her heart, making it hard for her to calm down.
When she got back to the community and just parked the car, she noticed a figure flashing past in the rearview mirror. The feeling was actually a bit familiar.
She frowned, and the hand on the car door retracted. She immediately called the bodyguards she had hired.
After confirming that they had been following her, she felt a little more at ease. It seemed that she was just being too sensitive.
She opened the car door and walked towards home. It was a dark and windy night. Only sporadic lights fell on her body, like eyes monitoring her.
Just as she was about to enter the electronic password, suddenly there came hurried footsteps and a strong killing intent from behind.
Shen Youjin instinctively dodged to the side. A glinting fruit knife grazed her fair swan neck. It was just a tiny bit away from making a bloodstain.
"Ah!"
She was startled. She saw Chi Tingwan with sunken eye sockets. Her once sweet face was tinged with a bluish-gray color, and her eyes were filled with extreme madness. She looked just like a serial killer in a crime documentary.
"Bitch, it's all your fault! It's all because of you that I've become like this!" She raised the fruit knife and stabbed at her again. "I'm going to kill you!"
Shen Youjin gasped. Her right hand instinctively protected her abdomen.
She never expected such an accident to happen at her doorstep. It was like calling to heaven but getting no response and calling to earth but getting no answer.
At the critical moment, when the sharp blade was only one centimeter away from her abdomen, she was pulled into a solid chest. Her whole body was protected in his arms.
The long-lost sense of security instantly swept over her whole body. She heard Li Nanchuan's magnetic voice in her ear: "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Her pupils trembled. Then came Chi Tingwan's muffled groans and shrill screams.
Chi Tingwan was kicked two meters away. But even so, she still refused to give up. She rushed over like a person who didn't care about her own life.
Although Li Nanchuan had practiced martial arts, he was unarmed at the moment. If he wasn't careful, he would easily be injured by Chi Tingwan.
Even so, he still tightly protected Shen Youjin in his arms, not giving Chi Tingwan any chance to hurt her.
It seemed that she was still the most delicate little rose in his palm, and he was still her safe haven.
"Li Nanchuan, it's you! You... you all deserve to die!"
Chi Tingwan seemed unable to bear to see Shen Youjin being cherished. Her behavior became more and more crazy.
Just then, Li Nanchuan found an opening and kicked Chi Tingwan's wrist.
Chi Tingwan winced in pain. The fruit knife fell to the ground with a clatter. Then she was directly subdued by him.
She was lying flat on the ground, her hands forcefully pinned behind her back. She couldn't move at all.
"Chi Tingwan, do you know what you're doing? Your family is still waiting for you at home. Do you really want your parents to lose all hope?"
Li Nanchuan exuded a powerful aura. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Tingwan was like that of an inviolable god, while the other party was just a wrongdoer like an ant.
"Hahaha... Home?" Chi Tingwan coughed continuously, her eyes bloodshot. "I could have had a good life. It's all because of this bitch. My mother was sent to prison, and the young master of the Gu family ruined my father's business. He can no longer afford to support me. Do you know what kind of life I've been living these days?"
Shen Youjin was stunned. What? Gu Zhiyuan had suppressed the Chi family's business? When did this happen!
Li Nanchuan was calmer than her. He had seen people like Chi Tingwan before.
"Xiaojin, help me make a call."
His voice was deep. Shen Youjin knew who he was going to call and immediately nodded.
She dialed a number and handed the phone to his ear. Li Nanchuan spoke, and the other side quickly agreed to send someone over.
Intentional homicide was a serious crime!
While waiting for the rescue, Shen Youjin finally found a chance to call the bodyguards. Only then did she know that the two bodyguards who were supposed to follow her had been diverted!
Chi Tingwan had brought accomplices! No wonder!
She looked at Chi Tingwan. Maybe because she knew she couldn't escape, the other party stopped making a scene.
"Shen Youjin, don't you think you're so cheap?" Chi Tingwan said sinisterly, her pupils showing a bluish-white color. She was like a puppet with its soul taken away. "It's not enough for you to have Gu Zhiyuan and Li Nanchuan. Why do you have to compete with me for Bai Beichen? As long as I marry Bai Beichen, I can do whatever I want in Kyoto. It's all your fault! You should just die! If you die, Bai Beichen will marry me!"
Shen Youjin frowned. Although she was too lazy to talk to a woman who had lost her mind, she still couldn't help but say, "Even without me, no one would like a crazy person with mental problems."
Hearing this, Chi Tingwan wanted to break free from Li Nanchuan, but obviously she was no match for him.
Li Nanchuan looked at Shen Youjin worriedly and wanted her to go home and rest first. He would handle things here.
But before she could refuse, Chi Tingwan suddenly looked at her and shouted, "Actually, the person you like is Li Nanchuan, right! Shen Youjin, I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life!"
Shen Youjin was stunned. Before she could figure out what she meant, she saw Chi Tingwan using an extremely extreme way. She slammed her head against the ground.
In an instant, she could even clearly hear the sound of the skull cracking. The scarlet blood flowed down Chi Tingwan's head.
Chi Tingwan stared wide-eyed at the direction where Shen Youjin was. In just a few seconds, she completely lost her breath.
All the blood in Shen Youjin's body rushed to her head. She looked at this scene in disbelief. Fear and shock completely swept over her.
Chi Tingwan was dead? She just died right in front of her doorstep?
