"The person who wants to harm me," Xiao Man held her aching head, "why... why are they doing this? Canāt they just let me be?"
Elevenās world might be complicated, but compared to Xiao Manās, it really was quite simple.
She always felt, in Xiao Manās world, noncombatants needed to evacuate.
She understood what Xiao Man meant.
Li Sinian was currently investigating the truth, and the person who had been found to be plotting against Xiao Man...
Things may not bode well for them.
However, looking at Xiao Man again, she didnāt seem frightened. It was as if she had already gone through too much.
"Is show biz... really that terrifying?"
"Itās not all bad," Xiao Man managed a smile. "Itās just that my knack for controversy is kind of a nuisance, attracting all sorts of strange people and bringing about misfortunes. It is probably because I was born ill-fated. Maybe things will calm down when Iām dead. Had that gunshot been real just now, everything wouldāve been over."
"Sister Man! What are you thinking?" Eleven was shocked by these thoughts. She could only guess that a top superstar like Xiao Man might be dealing with enormous pressure.
"Itās good that youāre okay. But if something were to actually happen to you... Mr. Li might have more than one person to deal with, right?"
Xiao Man thought about it and said with a smile, "How do you know what kind of person he is? Having met a few times, you think you have him figured out?"
"Just now..." Eleven recalled the previous situation. "Mr. Li is indeed a difficult person to read. But I was standing close by and saw it clearly, he seemed particularly afraid of losing you, Sister Man. So I think you must be very dear to Mr. Li. You merely got a scare this time, and he is already seeking out the perpetrator. If something serious were to happen to you... itās hard to say what would happen."
"I thought you were clever the first time I met you. Iām a bit tired, Iāll rest for a while."
"Okay~"
Xiao Man was resting in her bedroom, and Eleven wanted to go out to make a phone call. As she opened the door, she saw several men in black outfits standing there, looking fierce and intimidating.
"Sister Man is taking a break... Iām going to make a phone call."
No one responded to her, but their faces seemed to indicate agreement. Eleven squeezed through the gap between them to go to the end of the corridor to call Gu Liancheng.
Eleven told him everything that had just happened on the set.
"You donāt need to rush over, Li Sinianās people are here."
"Thatās exactly why Iām worried," Gu Liancheng frowned, immediately picking up his suit jacket, gesturing to Ai Lin who was about to speak to him, "Donāt you know what kind of person Li Sinian is? He can protect Xiao Man, but he might not necessarily be able to protect you. What if something happens, what if!"
Although Li Sinian was a legend in the Black World, his surroundings were extremely dangerous because of that.
Gu Liancheng would not let her stay by his side, not even for a second. He could never feel at ease about it!
Moreover, someone had just tried to harm Xiao Man.
Unable to see her, his mind was never at peace.
Having entered the underground parking lot, Gu Liancheng pressed swiftly on the accelerator.
He put on his Bluetooth earpiece and continued his call with Eleven: "Send me your location, Iāll come pick you up."
"Iām at the West City Hotel, it will take you more than half an hour to get here, maybe even longer if thereās traffic. How about thisā"
"You said youāre where?!"
