After dealing with it for a long time, Ruan Xingchen inevitably felt a little tired. He stood up, put on his coat, and temporarily retreated outside the banquet hall.

It was getting darker, and the lights in the alley not far away were dimming.

She crossed her arms and took a breath of the cool winter breeze, feeling the cold air sliding into her nostrils, and she felt a little more awake.

At this moment, a slender figure flashed at the entrance of the dark alley.

He quickly passed through the dim light and walked into the dark alley.

Ruan Xingchen's heart was slightly lifted.

That figure looks familiar no matter how I look at it.

But it was so late, what was she doing there?

After a little hesitation, she made a quick decision, picked up the broom left by the cleaner at the back door and followed.

The sound of high heels on the road was heard hurriedly. Standing at the entrance of the alley, I realized that this alley was not as straight as it seemed.

But it twists and turns.

The dark alley is like a ferocious monster with its huge mouth open, lurking in the boundless darkness, quietly waiting for its prey to come.

A bad premonition came to his mind, and Ruan Xingchen gripped the broom tightly.

Turning on the flashlight on her phone, she walked in while raising her voice: "Gu Jiu? Gu Jiu, are you there?"

She didn't know when the incident with Gu Jiu happened in her previous life.

All I remember is that this girl, who was extremely talented in company management, died suddenly, driving Gu Zhuo crazy.

In this life, because of her existence, the decision on the development of Xicheng District was successfully made, and Gu Jiu's fate also changed.

She was afraid that her predetermined fate would take the same path again without her knowing.

Her voice echoed in the alley, but the alley was empty and no one responded.

Could it be that she saw it wrong?

She was only wearing a coat, and her exposed calves were a little cold. With her breathing, white mist lingered around her lips.

I was so anxious that I lost my mind. It was something that could be solved by just making a phone call.

Ruan Xingchen laughed at himself, unlocked his phone, and was about to dial when he suddenly heard a muffled groan from not far away.

Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The uneasiness that kept welling up in her heart became more and more intense. She didn't care about anything else and quickly followed the sound.

When the flashlight of the mobile phone shone over there, a figure fell to the ground, and the standing figure was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, holding a baseball bat in his hand, as if he was about to hit him twice more.

"what are you doing?"

Time was urgent, and Ruan Xingchen didn't care about anything else. He threw the broom in his hand and shouted coldly: "Stop!"

Accustomed to the darkness, the figure was stunned when suddenly met with the light of the flashlight.

The broom landed on the ground in front of him with a crisp sound.

He suddenly came to his senses and turned away without hesitation.

"Don't run!"

Ruan Xingchen's eyes were cold, and he took two steps to chase after him, but saw that person turned the corner like a gust of wind and disappeared.

She looked beautiful in high heels when attending a party, but they were not suitable for running.

After chasing for two steps and seeing that the person was gone, she decisively gave up.

"Gu Jiu?"

Squatting in front of the girl who had fallen to the ground, her pupils dilated, and she quickly helped her up: "Gu Jiu, wake up, are you okay?"

He checked her injuries swiftly.

Gu Jiu didn't know why he came to this complicated alley without even wearing a coat.

Wearing only a thin silver suit jacket, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't know whether it was from the cold or the pain.

The figure must have hit her on the head with a baseball bat, leaving bright red blood on her forehead and wetting her long brown hair on her face.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed and he was unconscious.

Ruan Xingchen held her in his arms with great difficulty, rubbing her arms to generate warmth while trying to wake her up.

"Ms. Ruan..."

Hearing the call, Gu Jiu faintly opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"careful!"

She was almost hoarse, trying her best to push Ruan Xingchen away from her, but her hands were so weak that she had no strength.

Ruan Xingchen's heart tightened, and he reacted very quickly, lowering his head and rolling sideways while holding her.

With a loud thud, a baseball bat that attacked from behind her missed.

Ruan Xingchen's pupils dilated slightly.

There is more than one person!

This person was dressed the same way, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, hiding his face completely.

After missing the first blow, he raised the baseball bat without hesitation and attacked again ferociously.

There was a cold look in Ruan Xingchen's eyes.

Do you really think she is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully?

Carefully putting Gu Jiu down, she stood up and kicked the man on the wrist.

The man groaned in pain, and the baseball bat in his hand fell off instantly.

As the money fell to the ground, a slender and beautiful hand as white as jade caught it.

"The weapon is mine."

Ruan Xingchen raised his lips, his eyes filled with hostility, and attacked his vitals decisively: "Today I will show you what it means to seek death!"

The man turned and ran without even wanting to fight.

Ruan Xingchen was furious and was not willing to let him escape like that. He took two steps forward without hesitation, used the power of the wall to stand up and gave him a flying kick.

The man was kicked to the ground and lay there for a long time without getting up.

"Where's the other person?"

With coldness in his eyes, Ruan Xingchen stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and was about to pull off his mask to see his true face.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard behind me.

The man who attacked Gu Jiu before came back at this time, rushed to Gu Jiu, raised the baseball bat and was about to hit him hard!

Gu Jiu was already dizzy and had no strength to dodge.

Judging from his strength, if he hit him hard, I'm afraid Gu Jiu would be half dead if not killed.

The human skull is hard, but not that hard.

Ruan Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot.

She had no doubt at this moment that the catastrophe that should have belonged to Gu Jiu had been brought forward to the present because of her.

No, nothing must happen to Gu Jiu!

"you dare!"

With a clear shout, she almost unleashed all her potential and kicked towards the man!

As soon as he landed, he heard Gu Jiu's hoarse, almost heartbreaking but not very loud cry: "No! Watch out behind you!"

Ruan Xingchen's old strength has just been exhausted, and new strength is coming.

Even though she could clearly see the shadow in front of her, a huge black figure coming towards her with a baseball bat, she had no way to avoid it.

I was careless, there were more than two of them.

Moreover, each link is connected to another, and it is obvious that everything has been precisely calculated.

Their target is not Gu Jiu at all!

In other words, it’s not just Gu Jiu!

A fleeting thought flashed through my mind.

"boom!"

Along with the pain in the back of his head, Ruan Xingchen's eyes went dark, his feet went weak, he staggered forward two steps, and fell down softly.
