Eleven was also a bit disoriented, because she felt as if it really was the sound of a gunshot...
Something like a bullet whizzed past them.
At the same time, the prop gun in Xiao Manâs hand fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, the gun was damaged.
It was then everyone realized, could it be that the unknown object that had just been fired had hit... the prop gun in Xiao Manâs hand?
Eleven didnât think that much, she looked around and ran towards Xiao Man, and Fan Fan couldnât stop her.
"Sister Man, run!"
Eleven thought someone was trying to attack Xiao Man.
"No need..." Although Xiao Man was slightly unnerved, she quickly calmed down and reassured Eleven by holding her hand, signalling that she was fine.
She looked at the prop gun, then at the direction where the bullet had come from.
Eleven looked and found the person approaching them increasingly familiar.
When the figure got closer, it was clear. Wasnât that Li Sinian? Didnât he say he was going back to Mexico? Why is he still here? It seemed like he had something else to do before going back, doesnât he need to handle it?
The thought terrified Eleven. Was he on set the entire time? The moment Xiao Man was in trouble, he appeared?
God, walls have ears, her words couldnât have already reached his ears, could they?
No, thatâs not the point, the point is, who attempted to attack Xiao Man?
Li Sinian reached them, as if not seeing Eleven at all. He lifted his hand, brushed some messy strands of hair from Xiao Manâs forehead, put his palm against her cheek and said, "Donât leave me."
Only they three could hear the tone of it. Because it was soft, his voice was more magnetic, Eleven really thought it sounded nice.
Not only was Eleven baffled by what he said, Xiao Man did not understand either.
Why on earth would he say such things about not leaving, when Xiao Man hadnât mentioned about going anywhere?
"Mr. Li, how come youâre here?"
Li Sinian looked at Xiao Man for a long time, long enough to make one suspect time had stopped, as if the scene was frozen.
The staff on set, including the director, were stupefied, looking at each other and whispering about who this man was and where had he come from.
"With you like this, how can I leave you here alone?"
Eleven stealthily stole a glance. Li Sinianâs gaze was deep, as if only Xiao Man existed in his eyes, as if no one else was present.
"Whatâs wrong, Mr. Li? What about me?" Xiao Man smiled.
Li Sinian had no expression. The moment he squatted down to pick up the prop gun, he had already confirmed his suspicion was right.
He held the prop gun, muzzle upwards, and said to Xiao Man, "Isnât this careless?"
"Could it be..." Xiao Man faintly sensed his intent, "I did feel it was a bit different, but I didnât really think of it that way..."
When Eleven was still puzzled, there was a sudden "bang," resonating across the sky.
A hint of sternness and surprise flashed across Xiao Manâs eyes. She was the first one to react and understand what was going on.
The others gradually realized something as well.
"Oh my God! Wasnât that a prop gun? That sound just now was from a real gun, wasnât it?!"
Eleven, who was closest, was stunned by this.
A real bullet... was fired from the prop gun?
No, that means... that was a real gun!
The thought was chilling. Does that mean, if Xiao Man had actually pulled the trigger earlier...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
