Chapter 461 An unexpected incident
The two were talking in the hall, surrounded by people coming and going, so naturally, many people heard what they said.
What's more, Jian Yunqi originally intended to support Xu Fangli in a high-profile manner, and he did not hold back at all in his words. In addition to the traffic he brought with him, many media outlets had already secretly approached him as soon as he arrived.
Now, these words were naturally heard by many reporters.
Wen Yang was slightly startled, the corners of his mouth stiffened before he smiled and said, "This is a good thing, how could we not be willing?"
The reporters who were eavesdropping from behind were also dumbfounded!
Mingde College, a subsidiary of the Jane Group, is an international education brand. It has hundreds of schools in more than 30 provinces and cities in China alone, not counting those abroad.
When Mingde College expanded its library collection, they actually chose "Unawakened from a Big Dream" by Xu Fangli?
this.......
"However, we don't have that many finished products printed yet. I wonder if Mr. Jian is in a hurry?"
Jian Yunqi waved his hand loudly: "No rush, just let me know when you have it printed, and I'll send someone to pick it up."
Wen Yang nodded happily: "Okay."
The line in front of the signing table was still as long as a dragon. Xu Fangli's hands were sore from signing autographs, but she still smiled at every reader.
On the second floor, Han Xi leaned against the railing with one hand in his pocket, his eyes never leaving the glowing figure in the crowd.
"Boss, let's just stand here. Don't you want to go down?"
Lin Mo stood aside and said jokingly, "Boss Jian and the others are here. As the man behind your wife, shouldn't you go down and show your face?"
Han Xi's eyebrows remained unchanged, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Today is her home court."
If he goes down, there will definitely be a media uproar, so just watch from a distance.
Han Xi's eyes closely followed Xu Fangli's every move, the extra words of encouragement she gave to the young girl when she signed autographs, the solemn thanks she gave to the elderly reader when she received a handmade gift, and even the small movements of her wrists when she was tired.
Every detail made him feel an indescribable warmth in his chest.
Lin Mo followed his gaze and said in surprise, "I didn't expect the wife to be so talented. She only wrote one book and yet she has so many fans."
"Of course she's nice..."
There was a hint of pride in Han Xi's tone, but his words stopped abruptly.
His eyes suddenly locked onto a man wearing a shopping mall cleaning uniform at the opposite railing.
The man was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, carrying a red bucket, and his behavior was abnormally sneaky.
When a normal person lifts a bucket of water, their arms will naturally hang down, but this person held the bucket tightly against his chest, as if protecting something important.
What was even more suspicious was that he kept looking around, paying attention to the security on the second floor, and kept looking at the signing table downstairs, but after getting close, he quickly retracted it, which did not look like routine cleaning at all.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo noticed that Han Xi's body suddenly tensed up.
Han Xi didn't answer, his eyes fixed on the cleaner.
When the other party poked his head out for the third time, their eyes met for a moment. The malice flashing in the other party's eyes made Han Xi's blood freeze instantly.
"Call the police." He whispered the order while striding towards the opposite side.
Lin Mo was stunned for a second and immediately took out his cell phone.
In that split second, the cleaner had already lifted the bucket to the edge of the railing and grabbed the bottom of the bucket with both hands...
Han Xi's pupils suddenly shrank.
There was no need to think, his body acted before his brain.
Amidst the laughter and cheers of the audience, and with flashes of light flashing one after another, he rushed towards the fence directly above the autograph table like a black lightning.
"Ari! Get out of the way!"
This loud shout tore through the lively atmosphere.
Xu Fangli looked up blankly and saw a red bucket tilting down from the second floor, and Han Xi's figure swooped down towards the railing like a falcon with its wings spread.
Time seemed to be stretched out.
Xu Fangli saw the red liquid draw a parabola in the air, saw Han Xi stretch out his arm to push the bucket, saw most of the liquid being redirected to an empty area, but some of it still poured down to where she was sitting.
"Bang—"
At the critical moment, a black shadow rushed towards Fang Li, grabbed her and turned her over to catch the liquid on her back.
The red liquid splashed onto Yu Tian's black suit, staining his white collar, looking like blood and shocking.
"Pear! Are you okay?!"
While Han Xi and Lin Mo were pressing the man to the ground upstairs, Wen Yang, Jian Yunqi and others also quickly ran up to the signing table below.
Everyone looked at Fang Li and Yu Tian worriedly.
Yu Tian let go of Fang Li and frowned: "It's paint."
There's no danger if it gets splashed on you, it's just a little embarrassing.
Wen Yang's eyebrows darkened suddenly, "It must be that bitch Sheng Qianrui!"
Seeing that he couldn't beat them, he resorted to such despicable means to ruin Fang Li's autograph session!
Although they knew it was paint, the people below didn't know the specific situation.
All I saw was bright red falling from the sky, and the back of a person's head was covered in blood.
The scene was in chaos in an instant.
"Oh my god! What's going on?!"
"Someone's injured! Call an ambulance!"
"Protect Teacher Xu!"
Fans began to run around, and some even tried to rush to the autograph table.
Jian Yunqi and Deng Xiulin exchanged glances with Han Xi upstairs early on, and they immediately protected Fang Li behind them, looking around vigilantly.
Security guards and staff quickly formed a human wall to protect Xu Fangli in the middle.
Fang Li was stunned for a moment, as if she had just come to her senses. Suddenly she remembered something, pushed away Yu Tian who was blocking her way, and rushed to the second floor.
All she could hear were screams and running sounds. Someone saw her go upstairs and followed her.
Compared to the chaos on the first floor, the second floor is much quieter.
When Xu Fangli rushed up the stairs, she just saw Lin Mo grabbing the "cleaner" and pinning him to the ground, while Han Xi was shaking his hands with blood, his face dark and ugly.
"Han Xi!"
Fang Li's heart skipped a beat. She ran over quickly and stood in front of him, staring blankly at his blood-stained hand. She reached out her hand tremblingly, wanting to hit him but not daring to touch it.
The pungent smell made her tears flow, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of excitement or fear.
Han Xi's breathing slowed down, and he held her in his arms to comfort her: "It's okay, it's just paint... I'm not hurt."
Xu Fangli knew it was paint, but seeing his blood-red hands she couldn't help but think of the worst. Now that she got his confirmation, she barely suppressed the panic in her heart.
"Why...are you here?"
She held back the tears that were about to burst out and asked in a normal tone.
Han Xi gently stroked her face with his left hand, which was not stained with paint, his fingertips cold. "Of course it's because of you. Mrs. Han is so great, how could I not come and see it with my own eyes?"
After Fang Li left, the people downstairs were gradually controlled by the on-site security and the mall staff.
Some media and fans followed upstairs. Yu Tian and others controlled the situation downstairs and also ran up.
After making sure that Han Xi was okay, Fang Li left his arms and looked at the man who was pinned to the ground by Lin Mo.
"Why are you throwing paint? Who sent you?!"
