Ran Xueyi stood behind the man with a cold light in her eyes.
When Adelle walked out of the dressing room, she felt a malicious intent coming from outside. Because of this, she couldn't continue reading the script.
Over the years she stayed in Ren Country, Ran Xueyi trained under some experts so she could protect herself. Even though a few years of practice would not make herself turn into an expert, she should still be able to defend herself in such unexpected situations.
The man finished dragging the unconscious body of Adelle and realized that she was gone;
Ran Xueyi didn't let the man respond to his discovery very quickly as she immediately kicked him from the back, pushing him towards the middle of the room. She didn't stop there and followed him to give him another kick. This time, her foot made contact with his chin.
The man clutched his head and screamed in pain: "You little–!"
But before he could finish cursing, Ran Xueyi grabbed him by the arm and pushed him against the table with his arm behind his back. A woman and a man's strength was different. However, if one could defy the norms and make use of their surroundings, even a child could knock out an adult man.
Sadly, Ran Xueyi didn't bring her gun with her. She really didn't expect to be ambushed while she was filming. But no matter what if she was attacked in her own bedroom or in public, she didn't worry about losing that much.
Xiaoshun never thought that a female celebrity like Ran Xueyi could easily bring him down like this. Honestly, people from the entertainment industry are more known for their talents in acting. As for whether they could really execute the moves that they showed in their films, it was unknown. However, it should be common for them to use body doubles to perform their stunts.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a mistake by underestimating Ran Xueyi and letting her counterattack against him!
But he did not become a mercenary for nothing.
As soon as he recovered from the initial shock of having been beaten by her, the muscles on the arm that she was holding started to bulge. She struggled to keep it behind his back but in the end, she couldn't keep up with his strength and was forced to step back.
The instant she distanced herself from him, a foot was swung behind and almost struck her.
Ran Xueyi couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief as she saw with her own eyes that the man took out a knife from his jacket and swiped towards her.
Unarmed and inside a cramped area, Ran Xueyi could only try to dodge each strike of his hand. However, this was not an action that she could continue doing forever. She had to quickly think of something to do or else, this man would succeed in getting her!
She obviously could not run outside alone with Adelle unconscious inside the room. Once she left, who knows what this man would do to her.
What were the guards outside doing?
How did this man get through?
Ran Xueyi felt that she was doomed.
The man's murderous aura intensified as he felt humiliated after being beaten up by her kicks. He was approaching her quickly and the amount of force he used to swipe the knife towards her was bone-chilling.
Ran Xueyi was pushed back against the long table in front of the mirror. She looked around in a second and reached for the makeup kit beside her.
Ran Xueyi threw out the powder towards him!
Xiaoshun's eyes narrowed. He slashed at the things that were thrown at him without knowing what they were. His knife has been sharpened quite pretty well and so it sliced through the things as if it were marshmallows.
"Guh! Cough!"
The powder landed on his face and eyes.
Although it was not as painful as when sand got into your eyes, it still rendered him unable to not see anything while wheezing from the powder.
But it won't take a while for him to recover.
Ran Xueyi also realized this. She stepped forward and grabbed his knife. In the split second while he was struggling with the powder that got into his eyes, Ran Xueyi pried his fingers open around the knife and she took it from him.
This woman!
Xiaoshun could tell what she wanted to do but he won't let her succeed!
Before she could completely take away the knife from him, Xiaoshun threw the knife away and moved to the side where the knife was thrown.
Ran Xueyi never thought that this man could be so great at making decisions even though he was temporarily rendered blind by her. She also raced towards the door where the knife was thrown at.
In the nick of time, the door to the dressing room opened and a figure suddenly appeared.
A foot stepped on the knife that was on the ground.
Ran Xueyi and the man fell to the ground.
The person who was stepping on the knife saw the two falling one after another on the ground and said with a voice laced with venom: "And what is going on here?"
It was Song Yu Han's voice!
Ran Xueyi looked at Song Yu Han, who was dressed in black, with both joy and relief in her eyes. She was glad that he had come at the right moment.
Ran Xueyi pointed at the man who was not far away from her and seriously said, "Yu Han, beat him!"
Song Yu Han's lips twitched at the tone she was using as if he was a pokemon.
The man also didn't expect Ran Xueyi to involve another person in their struggle. But thinking about it, she could not handle him easily since he was an expert compared to her strength and skills. So, asking for another person's help was only logical for her to do.
But— that is if he could help her!
Xiaoshun sneered: "You're just a bystander so don't even think of getting involved here. Just get out of here and I might be lenient enough to not kill you here with her!"
The man before him was dressed in black that fitted his lean and muscular body. At a glance, Xiaoshun could tell that the man was also a celebrity. Otherwise, with such a handsome face, why would he be there, right?
But it was really strange that the aura emitted from his body faintly carried the scent of death.
Xiaoshun's eyes slightly narrowed at his thoughts.
Could he be wrong?
No matter, if this man tried to help Ran Xueyi out of this situation, Xiaoshun won't show any mercy and kill him too!
But contrary to their expectation, Song Yu Han didn't move.
He tilted his head and looked at Ran Xueyi before looking down on the knife that he was stepping on. Then, without a word, he walked forward a few steps and reached out to touch Ran Xueyi's cheek.
Ran Xueyi blinked her eyes in confusion and said: "What are you doing?"
Song Yu Han stared at her face that had been slightly scratched by something earlier. A small part of her skin was red. His eyes suddenly turned colder than ice.
Ran Xueyi was worried because he was standing in front of her with his back open towards the other man.
However, Song Yu Han didn't seem to care as if he didn't see that man just now.
Somehow, she felt embarrassed for that man. Hubby, could you show the opponent a little bit of respect?
Her opponent tried so hard to harm her but Song Yu Han didn't give a damn about him and was even more concerned about her.
Though his actions warmed her heart, this was really not the time to show her concerns!
That man was such a troublesome opponent and oozed out a strong murderous aura, he was certainly not a simple expert. But why does Song Yu Han not seem to put him in his eyes?
Naturally, Xiaoshun also felt the same way as Ran Xueyi. But compared to her strangeness, he took this chance to hurry and grab the abandoned knife that was stranded next to the door.
His hands were only a few inches away from touching the knife when suddenly his neck seemed to be strangled by something. When he looked down, the thing that was strangling him was actually his collar!
Ran Xueyi watched on as Song Yu Han unhurriedly turned around and grabbed the back of the opponent's collar as if he was picking a mischievous child.
Xiaoshun was a grown up man and weighed two hundred pounds. And yet, Song Yu Han used only one hand to carry him by the collar without even straining his arm.
Song Yu Han's strength was beyond anyone's imagination. Xiaoshun thought he could shake off his hand from his collar, but another hand suddenly grabbed his neck and soon, he understood why the man had the scent of death on him.
This man had killed people. He was just like him!
