"Bang——"
A gunshot rang out!
At the same time, Jian Yufei felt a sharp vibration by her ear, and then the light in front of her dimmed.
Then, the whole world came to a standstill.
Ruan Tianling gripped the handgun tightly, sweat beading on his forehead.
Nangong Yi was to Jian Yufei's right, blocking her and Xiao Zexin.
One of his hands even covered Jian Yufei's forehead.
The pebble did not fall in the intended direction but landed by Jian Yufei's left ear.
Drip, drop—drip, drop—
Liquid fell to the ground, and Jian Yufei heard it clearly.
But her pupils were vacant, without any reaction.
"Yufei, dear—" Ruan Tianling dropped the handgun and rushed toward them.
Nangong Yi was yanked away by him, and then he pushed Xiao Zexin aside.
"Yufei, are you okay?!"
Ruan Tianling embraced her in a panic. After confirming that the stone hadn't hit her, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few bodyguards subdued Xiao Zexin, but he remained quiet, without resistance.
