Today has been an incredible day: witnessing a shooting, experiencing extreme fear, miraculously surviving, desperately trying to save others, and having a cold gun pointed at her forehead. All of these things seemed so distant to an ordinary person like Luo Xiaoyi, yet in an instant, they all happened to her.
Her mind was in turmoil. She no longer wanted to care about the banquet, Lin Hongyu, or Ou Zihan. She was in a state of confusion and wanted to get home as soon as possible. At least, her home was quiet and safe.
But why do things always turn out contrary to our wishes?
As Luo Xiaoyi passed through the banquet hall, suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by a scream of agony. A man's shoulder gushed bright red blood, which splattered everywhere. The shot man desperately tried to escape, with several bodyguards in black in hot pursuit.
Instantly, a strong stench of blood filled the air of the entire banquet hall, awakening people's sense of fear!
The elegant and sophisticated banquet hall was thrown into chaos. "Ah, murder! Help!" "Murder! Murder!" Women screamed in terror as men and women fled in panic, covering their heads. The beautiful champagne tower collapsed, scattering wine and shards of glass all over the floor.
The long table, laden with delicacies from around the world, was overturned. Everyone was terrified, as if they had fallen into hell. They scrambled and trampled on each other. A beautiful woman was knocked down and trampled to the ground.
Luo Xiaoyi stared in astonishment at the two beautiful women on the ground not far away, who had been trampled particularly hard by the surging crowd and were unable to stand up for a long time.
Weren't these two women the center of attention just now? Such beautiful and alluring women, just a moment ago, they were being pursued by the wealthy and famous, but now they've become meat patties under the feet of their suitors. They're being trampled by the crowd and can't get up. People are going crazy, all wanting to fly out of this hell as soon as possible!
This is human nature. When faced with life and death, people's emotions are so cold. This is high society. Men in high society wear noble and gorgeous clothes and use the guise of love to play with countless women.
How many men are truly devoted to one another?
Luo Xiaoyi felt it was both sad and lamentable. Women, don't be easily intimidated by a man's status or position, and don't be easily deceived by his sweet words. If you easily succumb, in the end, you will be trampled to death and no one will care.
Luo Xiaoyi desperately pushed her way forward through the crowd to save the woman who was being trampled underfoot.
In the bathroom of the private room, the man's heavy breathing and the woman's moans could be heard. A couple who were engaged in a naked struggle heard the commotion outside. Without even putting on their clothes, they ran out wrapped in bath towels. The woman was knocked down and trampled under someone else's feet. The man only glanced at her before fleeing for his life without hesitation!

The woman watched with desperate tears as the man fled. This was the same man who had just been kissing her passionately, breathing heavily on her body, the man who had said he would love her for a lifetime. But now, in this life-or-death moment, as she was about to be trampled to death, he only cared about saving his own life!
Is this what the upper class calls humanity? What they call love?
Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy! Utter hypocrisy!
However, hypocritical people are not necessarily without sincerity, and sincere people are not necessarily without hypocrisy.
People in this world have two sides. A person who seems hypocritical may actually be sincere, but he just hasn't met a woman who can make him sincere. A person who seems sincere may actually be hypocritical, but you never know if he will ruin you the next second.
Amidst the crowd, Ou Zihan had no intention of running away. He called Luo Xiaoyi, the first time he had called her since their breakup. In this chaotic situation, he was worried that something might happen to her.
He frantically dialed Luo Xiaoyi's number again and again, but Luo Xiaoyi's phone just played music leisurely, and no one answered. He was extremely anxious and kept searching in the crowd. He shouted her name loudly in the chaotic crowd, "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, where are you? Where are you? Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi!"
Not far away, Li Mei, who had been knocked down next to the table, leaned against the table leg, looking at Ou Zihan with teary eyes. Ou Zihan, if danger were to occur, would Luo Xiaoyi be the first person you think of? Is Luo Xiaoyi always the only one in your heart?
What should I do? What should I do?
In the center of the banquet hall, Lin Hongyu looked around, searching for Luo Xiaoyi, and shouted Luo Xiaoyi's name loudly. He was filled with regret and self-blame. It was all his fault for bringing Luo Xiaoyi to such a dangerous banquet. If anything happened to Xiaoyi, how could he go on living?
His eyes reddened with anxiety, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.
Chen Ran stood by the wall watching Lin Hongyu's anxious figure, tears streaming down her face. She was just a heartbroken admirer, and what was most tragic was that she didn't even have the most basic right to be jealous. She was even worse off than Li Mei.
Perhaps it was fate, but Luo Xiaoyi was pushed next to Ou Zihan by the crowd. There were so many people, and she was not tall. She was also wearing a waitress's uniform and was struggling to squeeze through with her head down. Ou Zihan didn't even see her.
Seeing that Ou Zihan was safe and sound, she felt relieved and prepared to leave quietly.
Suddenly, she saw the huge crystal chandelier above Ou Zihan's head swaying precariously, about to fall. However, Ou Zihan was still looking around and calling her name, completely unaware of the enormous danger above her head.
"Zihan, watch out, the light above your head is going to fall!" With Luo Xiaoyi's anxious shout, she rushed over and tried to push Ou Zihan away. In this critical moment, she didn't care about her own life anymore. She just wanted to push him away so that he wouldn't be hit.
