Separated by only a door, Su Xi could feel the man's presence. She held her phone to her chest, her heart pounding.
Fortunately, the man didn't notice anything amiss and quickly turned to leave.
"Ring ring ring"
A crisp cell phone ringtone sounded again.
Su Xi was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood on end.
Damn it.
She forgot she had a cell phone.
The search for the phone resumed, but Zhou Jingming paused when he heard the ringtone and turned back.
"Is anyone inside?" He knocked gently on the door.
Su Xi leaned against the wall, covered in a cold sweat.
Given Zhou Jingming's keen senses, he would definitely be suspicious upon hearing the sound. If he didn't make a sound, it would be difficult to get rid of him.
"Is something the matter?"
Su Xi pinched her voice.
Zhou Jingming frowned. Why did that voice sound a little strange?
This is the women's restroom, so it's inconvenient for him to go in. He tried calling Su Xi again, but she still couldn't answer.
Just then, someone came over, recognized Zhou Jingming, and called out in a sweet voice, "Young Master Zhou."
Zhou Jingming felt a chill and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the bathroom.
wrong.
The voice just now sounded like it was deliberately faked.
"Go inside and see if anyone is there," Zhou Jingming instructed the woman.
Although the woman didn't know what Zhou Jingming wanted to do, she still felt honored to agree.
Su Xi knew something was wrong.
Zhou Jingming sent someone in to find her; this time, she definitely couldn't escape.
She glanced around, locked her gaze on the window, and quickly climbed out before the woman could enter.
Just then, the woman walked in.
After searching carefully but finding no one there, he turned and went out to report to Zhou Jingming, "Young Master Zhou, there's no one inside."
Zhou Jingming's expression changed slightly.
Someone had just responded to him.
How could there be no one?
Realizing he might have been tricked, he disregarded the fact that it was the women's restroom and barged in.
The window was open, and he quickly approached to check the situation.
Damn it, they got away from here!
Zhou Jingming had a premonition that the person just now was Su Xi!
"Young Master Zhou, who are you looking for?" The woman was quite surprised that Zhou Jingming had come in directly.
This is the women's restroom!
Zhou Jingming ignored her, braced himself against the window sill with one hand, and easily jumped out of the window to leave.
...
Su Xi escaped safely and breathed a sigh of relief once she was sure Zhou Jingming hadn't caught up.
This man is so difficult to deal with; if there hadn't been a window, she would have been caught red-handed.
He took out his phone and called Fu Yu back, "Is everything settled?"
"Alright, it's going to be lively here, want to come and watch the show?"
Fu Yu was standing at the door of the room on the sixteenth floor, watching a large group of reporters rush in, taking pictures of the three of them with their phones, and even recording a video to send to Su Xi.
Su Xi clicked on it and her lips twitched violently. "Enjoy it yourself, I'm going to meet Xu Lang."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and then deleted the video.
Xu Lang wasn't interested in this kind of banquet and was just about to leave when a figure suddenly flashed past him. Before he could react, the person grabbed his collar and disappeared through the front door.
When Zhou Jingming arrived, he witnessed this scene and his gaze fell on the slender figure dressed in black.
Xinglan?
I never expected her to appear here.
Zhou Jingming disregarded everything else and quickly chased after them.
Who are you, and what do you want?
A cold wind whistled past his ears as Xu Lang was pulled quickly toward the back garden. He felt as if he were being lifted up, his toes barely touching the ground.
Su Xi only put him down when they reached a secluded place.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap me? You don't want this..."
Before he could even utter the words "alive," he excitedly shouted, "Sister Xing?"
Su Xi couldn't stand his dolphin-like voice, so she covered her ears and looked disgusted.
"Sister Xing, you finally decided to contact me. You have no idea how long I've been looking for you, thinking about you day and night..."
"Stop."
Su Xi covered his mouth, her voice icy, "How long are you planning to keep playing?"
Xu Lang knew what she meant and said with a grin, "I'm not playing anymore. Qiao Xing ruined her own future by courting death. I don't need to do anything. Tomorrow, all the major news outlets will be her headlines. She will definitely not be able to make a comeback this time."
"Who gave you permission to bully Su Xi?" Su Xi asked sternly.
Xu Lang looked like he'd just eaten shit. "Didn't you tell me to do this?"
Su Xi: "...When?"
Xu Lang told her about his last contact with Fu Yu, and Su Xi twitched her lips speechlessly upon hearing this.
She cast Xu Lang in this film to improve his acting skills, but he misunderstood it as wanting him to deal with her.
Su Xi really wanted to slap this junior brother to death. He was usually so smart, but he turned out to be so stupid at a crucial moment.
"Don't make things difficult for Su Xi in the future, understand?" Su Xi lightly tapped his forehead.
If he doesn't show up tonight, this guy will spend the whole day on set making trouble for her.
She didn't have the time to deal with him.
"Why? She's imitating your acting, and now she's almost stealing your thunder. If we let her continue like this, I'm worried..."
“She didn’t imitate me.” Su Xi said lightly, her back to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang disagreed, angrily saying, "If she hadn't imitated you, how could her acting be so similar to yours? Unless she is..."
Before she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Su Xi's eyes.
Someone's coming!
"Find a place to hide. No matter what happens later, don't make a sound." Su Xi's sharp eyes fell forward. Judging from the aura emanating from the other person, she could sense that he was a formidable opponent.
Xu Lang always listened to Su Xi, so he immediately hid behind a tree.
Just then, a cold wind swept by, and a white figure swiftly attacked Su Xi.
The opponent's speed was so fast that even Su Xi found it unbelievable.
As she got closer, she recognized the man's face; it was Zhou Jingming.
Damn it.
This man is stalking her!
Su Xi dodged to the side and engaged him in a fierce fight.
"I didn't expect Miss Xinglan to be not only a good actress, but also a formidable one." Zhou Jingming's gaze was fixed on Su Xi's eyes beneath her mask, as if trying to see right through her.
Su Xi felt a chill run down her spine from those sharp eyes and had no intention of getting entangled with him any longer. She moved as fast as the wind and swept towards him.
Such effortless and skillful movements are difficult to achieve without several years of training.
Zhou Jingming's smile didn't reach his eyes; he dodged even faster.
The next second, he grabbed Su Xi's wrist and forced her back step by step until he forcefully blocked her against the wall behind her.
He leaned down and glanced down at her collarbone; once he confirmed the tattoo on her body, he could confirm her identity.
The two were standing too close together, and Su Xi could clearly feel the man's breath on her neck.
I couldn't help but shudder.
"I thought Young Master Zhou was only good at flirting with women, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled. Has he been trained?"
Su Xi narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, a sharp blade was pressed against his neck.
Zhou Jingming laughed heartily, "Guess."
The two were evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand. Su Xi underestimated the man's strength; he was indeed of extraordinary status.
"It would take three to five years to develop such skills. Is Young Master Zhou just playing dumb to fool others, putting on a show of being a spoiled brat?"
