"She talks a good talk, weeping to the public, apologizing, claiming to leave the entertainment industry to gain everyoneâs sympathy. Forgiven her and then shamelessly stays. Disgusting."
"Isnât that the truth?"
A few people were watching Lin Qiang on the big screen, discussing Xiao Man, without realizing Xiao Man herself was right behind them.
"I think," Xiao Man said, "according to Xiao Manâs character, she wouldnât cry in front of the public. Not even if the sky fell."
"What do you know! Sly women all know to use tearsâ"
That person was in the middle of speaking but suddenly felt something off and whipped around: "Who?"
However, behind them was only air.
Two movers passed by them; Xiao Man had already taken advantage of the cover provided by the large bed and successfully turned into the stairwell.
Those gossipy women suddenly wrapped their arms around themselves, feeling a chill.
"Who was that... the voice sounded so much like Xiao Manâs?"
"Thatâs impossible... thereâs no one here."
Good thing itâs not night.
...
Xiao Man checked the information on her phone again, making sure the number was correct.
Standing in front of the door, she glanced around inconspicuously, making sure no one was around, then pressed a mini button on her sunglasses.
In her vision, she could clearly see the fingerprints left on it.
Cracking the code.
She entered the password correctly once and set it to silent mode.
Xiao Man leaned on the wall and gently pushed the door with her hand.
Feeling someone approaching, Xiao Man suddenly crouched down, with one foot as the pivot, she swept her other leg out, tripping the person and swiftly mounting them with her sharp knife pressed against their neck.
In the instant she habitually tried to pull her hand away, she realized that the person beneath her was not Luo Xuan but a strange woman who had fainted from the fall.
When Xiao Man raised her head again, she saw Luo Xuan sitting comfortably on a sofa inside, his back to her, but very aware of what was going on outside.
"Miss Sevry, is this how you greet people?"
After last time, Luo Xuan had already gotten some understanding of Heather, asking her to come without being fully prepared?
He was right in his guess; even when threatened, she wouldnât compromiseâshe wanted to force a life-or-death situation, kill him first to gain the upper hand.
Luo Xuan turned around and smiled at her, "I simply invited Miss Coco to accompany me before you arrived. If you donât like Miss Coco, I can just send her away. Why resort to such methods? Be careful not to scare Coco."
Xiao Man stood up and walked in.
"Luo Xuan, let me tell you the only way you can have me isâ"
Xiao Man didnât finish her sentence when she suddenly spun around at lightning speed, reflexively raising her hand to block.
The woman named Coco had a cold look in her eyes and a sneer on her lips.
Xiao Manâs reactions were lightning-fast, but she still felt a stab.
She spun and kicked, slamming Coco against the wall, her chunky-heeled boots pressing hard against her neck: "Youâre asking for it!"
Xiao Manâs kick was heavy, and Coco spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Coco, youâre too disobedient," Luo Xuan said, "Heather is not someone you can ambush, be careful not to lose your life."
Coco laughed, "We still donât know whoâll be losing their life here, Mr. Luo Xuan."
Xiao Man suddenly felt her head swim.
