Chapter 172: Panic
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a dimly lit hotel room, Yun Na opened her sleepy eyes. The aching pain that shot through her body reminded her of what had just happened.
She drank the wine given by He Lingxiang despite knowing where it would lead. The men were looking for some fun to pass the time prior to the show’s start.
She had nowhere to go and was desperate to find any means to stay put. She did not want to leave the gala without achieving her goal.
If there was a chance, regardless of its form, she would grasp it.
It was her ultimate dream to become a star. Consumed by her desire, she would do anything for a chance.
She opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. This was when she saw the mess on the floor.
She hurriedly switched on the lights and was shocked at the sight before her.
Shirts were strewn all over the bed, and, beside it, He Lingxiang was lying unconscious on the floor with a few men. Meanwhile, Yang Shoucheng was spread lamely on the couch and was moaning in pain. Blood oozed from a gaping wound in his arm, which heavily stained his shirt.
She was thoroughly shaken.
She was clueless as to what had caused this gruesome sight, for she had lost her consciousness earlier. She only woke up to it.
She grabbed her clothes and crept toward the door barefoot. In her hurry, she stepped on to something hard, which caused her sole to curl in pain.
She looked down and saw a bloody pistol.
Ahhh!
She inwardly screamed in fear. Her brain seemed to have exploded with a bang.
Why is there a gun here?!
What happened in this room earlier?
“D*mn!”
Yang Shoucheng’s painful whispers could be heard from behind her. “D*mn you, Gu Xingze… I’m gonna kill you!”
Gu Xingze?
She hid herself in one corner, her face paling with fear. She could see the man painfully struggling to get up off the couch from where she was. Mustering his remaining strength, he kicked He Lingxiang. “Wake up!”
“Ah…” Jolted out of his unconsciousness, he was shocked to see him in an awkward state. “Director Yang, what happened to you?!”
“Quickly get me help! I’m shot… and losing a lot of blood!”
“Who is that Gu Xingze exactly? I previously thought that he is just a gigolo, but he turned out to be a martial arts expert!” He sounded incredulous as he supported Yang Shoucheng.
Earlier, Yang Shoucheng had removed his pistol’s safety catch and threateningly pointed it to Gu Xingze. He was just trying to instill fear in the young chap.
In a split second, Gu Xingze unexpectedly leaped at him, wrestled the gun from his hand, and fired a bullet at his arm…
His series of actions was smoothly executed. That could not happen without professional training.
“Director Yang, how do you plan to deal with this?”
“What’s my plan?” He laughed chillingly. “I’ll teach that chap a lesson, of course!”
He Lingxiang nodded in full agreement.
Yun Na drew a sharp intake of breath when she heard this. It was so scary!
Yang Shoucheng caught the faint sound and cried out, “Who is that?!”
That got her scrambling out of the room as she hid her appearance in the shadows.
Frightening!
Yang Shoucheng indeed had powerful connections among the mafia. The rumors circulating on the internet were true, after all!
The more his words echoed, the more fearful she became.
Before she could tidy herself up after her flight from the room, she met Yang Mi, Han Yuyan, the two’s entourage, and even Lu Jingtian, who had arrived late.
