Perhaps even Mo Jing hadn't expected the entire reception to go so smoothly, so smoothly that it gave her a sense of unease.

That feeling intensified as the reception ended. Based on her understanding of Feng Tianxiang, he was not that kind of person at all. The Bai family was already in her hands, so how could Feng Tianxiang let it go?

But everything was so calm, so calm that Mo Jing couldn't help but think she was just overthinking things. But that unease didn't dissipate even after she left the hotel. The sunlight outside cast a long shadow of hers, and Ling Moyuan was beside her, holding her slightly cool hand.

"I'll go get the car, you stay here." Ling Moyuan's handsome face showed a hint of tenderness.

Mo Jing nodded, and looking at Ling Moyuan gave her a sense of peace that dispelled the conflicting feelings in her heart.

It was the end of the reception, and many people were leaving. Suddenly, she felt someone was watching her. She looked around but didn't see anything. However, she was sure she wasn't mistaken; it was an intuition, a feeling of being spied on. Mo Jing was almost certain it was Feng Tianxiang; his cold gaze seemed to follow her like a shadow, impossible to ignore.

Meanwhile, inside a black car across the street, the tinted windows obscured the view inside.

No one saw that a woman was lying unconscious inside.

Meanwhile, a man dressed in black casual clothes and wearing a black baseball cap sat in the driver's seat, staring at Mo Jing, who was standing across the street, through the car window with a pair of sinister and cold eyes.

He gripped the glass bottle tightly in his hand, then a twisted and eerie smile appeared on his face.

Ling Moyuan had returned and parked his car on the side of the road before coming to pick up Mo Jing. No one noticed that several black balloons were floating in the sky, each with a glass bottle of liquid hanging from it.

"Look, what's that?" Finally, just before someone was about to get into the car, they looked up and saw what was on it.

Black has always been associated with evil, and the unknown object hanging from the black balloon, though unclear, inexplicably instilled a sense of panic. People even imagined scenes of sulfuric acid being thrown from high-rise buildings, as depicted on television, and a wave of panic swept through the crowd.

The hotel security guards went upstairs immediately to see if they could retrieve the item from the roof. Before they knew what it was, they didn't want to call the police unnecessarily and make a fool of themselves.

No one noticed that at that moment, the man wearing a baseball cap across the street quietly got out of the car, his gaze fixed on Mo Jing. Everyone just stared at the upward-facing area with terrified eyes, afraid that something would fall from above, trying to keep their distance, but they couldn't help being curious about what it was. Especially the reporters, who were primarily focused on digging for news; maybe it would be another story.

Danger is approaching step by step. Perhaps the most terrifying thing is knowing there is danger but still having to wait for the moment it arrives. That is the most torturous and agonizing thing.

"Mo Jing, I want you dead..." Accompanied by a sinister and chilling voice, a transparent liquid was splashed towards Mo Jing and Ling Moyuan!
