One man held a long knife, while another held Xiang Nanzhi down. Looking up, they saw the vehicle that had broken in and dragged her aside.
Shen Shixun's car suddenly stopped as it approached the area, and he raised his hands toward the two of them.
The man glanced at the woman lying on the ground, barely alive, and smelled the stench of blood. His eyelids twitched.
Two men surrounded him, but his eyes were only on Xiang Nanzhi.
"Let her go."
How could they have let it go?
Two men, one holding Xiang Nanzhi down and the other wielding a long knife, walked towards him. Xiang Nanzhi shook his head, "Shen Shixun, you should leave quickly."
These people were after her, and they had knives. Shen Shixun had no reason to put himself in danger.
"Let her go."
The man said something else.
The two foreign men couldn't understand what he was saying at all. They just exchanged glances, raised their long knives and swung them at him. Shen Shixun had a lighter in his hand and hit one of them directly.
Taking advantage of the other person's lowered head, he kicked at his hand. Before Xiang Nanzhi could even see clearly, he snatched the long knife from the other person's hand and held the back of the blade against the other person's neck.
"Release them!"
Xiang Nanzhi felt a tightness around his neck as the man gripped him tightly. The man looked warily at Shen Shixun, then at the long knife in his hand, signaling him to put the knife down.
Shen Shixun, as if possessed, threw the long sword aside. Another man tried to attack him, but he kicked him away. He raised his hands and slowly approached Xiang Nanzhi.
The man who had taken Xiang Nanzhi hostage was terrified and hurriedly pulled out his gun from his pocket the next second.
I originally intended to handle it quietly, but I didn't expect it to escalate so much that I now have no choice but to fight to the death.
He twisted his neck and heard the sound of a gun being cocked. His legs went weak and he could barely stand up; his whole body ached.
"Shen Shixun, you can go now. I won't blame you."
In this situation, there was no need for him to continue risking his life to save her.
No matter how fast he is, he can't outrun the opponent's bullet.
Xiang Nanzhi was still bleeding, her face was pale. "Shen Shixun, it's not too late for you to turn back now."
He didn't say a word, he just raised his hand but didn't move forward. The man he had just kicked down came limping over, holding a long knife.
"careful!"
He called out to Nan Zhi, and Shen Shixun turned around. The moment the man raised his knife, he bent down and rushed over, letting out a low growl.
They picked him up and slammed him heavily to the ground. His muscles were tense, and his eyes were still bloodshot.
The man vomited a mouthful of blood and could no longer stand.
The gun was still pointed at him, and Xiang Nanzhi could feel the person holding him hostage starting to tremble.
They've seen capable fighters before, but they've never seen anyone this capable.
Shen Shixun still raised his hands, looking like he was admitting defeat, when the man said in broken Chinese, "Kneel down!"
He understood what he meant and his gaze fell on Xiang Nanzhi.
Xiang Nanzhi knew a little about him; he was extremely proud, which was why he had never agreed to move into the Xiang family home.
Thump—
The man immediately knelt down, his eyes filled with malice. "Release her, and I'll let you do whatever you want with her."
Xiang Nanzhi's vision became somewhat blurred as the man's arm tightened around her. The thought of the gun pointed at her and Shen Shixun sent chills down her spine.
With blurred vision, Xiang Nanzhi saw Shen Shixun kneeling on the ground. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
These two men came to kill her. Right now, while they're confronting Shen Shixun, they're trying to strangle her. If he fires a shot rashly, he won't be able to leave the ancient city. He clearly knows this himself.
No place abroad can compare to the security of this ancient city; the police here are incredibly capable.
With all her might, she stopped trying to grab the arm the man was using to strangle her, and instead quietly moved upwards and grabbed the man's neck.
She grabbed the man's neck with all her might, and just as he was looking down at her, Shen Shixun stared at him and forcefully knocked him over.
Xiang Nanzhi fell to the ground, and the man quickly fired at him.
"Ah!" Xiang Nanzhi cried out, curling up and hugging herself tightly.
A gunshot rang out, followed by a brief silence, "Shen Shixun..."
She was worried, yet dared not look, "Shen Shixun..."
Mustering his courage, the man turned around and kicked the gun out of the other man's hand. The two then began to fight on the ground.
The man who had just been knocked down by Shen Shixun picked up the long knife and came over. Xiang Nanzhi's breath caught in her throat, as if she had temporarily lost her hearing and could only feel her own breathing.
The men continued to fight. Xiang Nanzhi's mind raced. She picked up her phone from the ground, slowly straightened up, and yelled at the other man to throw it at her.
Missing his shot, the man sped up and moved closer. Xiang Nanzhi retreated, and Shen Shixun and the other man were forced to lie on the ground in a contorted position. He gritted his teeth and strangled the man until he was unconscious.
The man wielding the long sword didn't bother chasing after Xiang Nanzhi; instead, he slashed at him. Shen Shixun carried the unconscious man toward the blade.
With a soft splatter, blood splattered onto the man's face.
The next second, a scream was heard, and the empty space fell silent.
The man was covered in blood, looking just like a lion that had just returned from a hunt; his eyes were also bloodshot.
The alarm gradually came from afar, and Xiang Nanzhi lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
Shen Shixun's blood wasn't his own, but Xiang Nanzhi's blood was all her own. She had held on for so long, but she couldn't hold on any longer...
The man ran over quickly and hugged her tightly, "Zhizhi..."
Xiang Nanzhi was on the verge of death, clutching his lower abdomen, terrified. He couldn't even cry anymore; a thousand words were stuck in his throat, and he fainted.
"Zhi Zhi!" he shouted immediately, his voice cracking.
Shen Shixun picked the person up and carried them to the car. The police and the Xiang family members had arrived.
"Zhizhi, hang in there, Zhizhi..."
Xiang Ciyuan kicked the two people lying on the ground repeatedly until the police pulled them apart.
Shen Shixun's face was covered in blood, and his voice was chillingly cold, "Save her..."
Xiang Nanzhi lost a lot of blood. She was already thin, so how could she have lost so much blood?
——
The summer night was very noisy, and Xiang Nanzhi was rushed to the largest hospital in the ancient city for emergency treatment.
The truth will out eventually. The old man, leaning on his cane, first struck Jing Yi, then lectured Xiang Ciyuan.
"If Zhizhi does anything wrong, I won't let you get away with it!"
Neither of them could utter a word, and both were covered in blood, their faces looking terrible.
"Dad, they're from overseas. We haven't found out their background yet."
One of them is already dead, killed by the other with a long knife. The two had premeditated the crime and are probably involved with certain people in China, which is why they were able to carry it out so smoothly.
Shen Shixun confessed everything to the police. When he returned, Xiang Zhengyi's face was ashen, and the blood on his face had not yet been washed off. He looked like a murderous maniac.
