The Huaxia Film Festival has drawn to a close, a perfect beginning and a perfect ending. After Li Ruotong finished singing this moving song, many celebrities departed one after another.
However, Li Ruotong was not in a hurry to leave. Accompanied by Luo Chao, she went to the Southeast University Grand Theater, where a promotional event for the new film directed by He Chen, a love story titled "Love at First Sight," was to be held. It had won the Best Newcor Award, Best Actress, and Best Newcor Director Award, undoubtedly a bountiful harvest.
When Luo Chao and Li Ruotong entered the theater, they found a number of reporters had already gathered there. Led by Director He Chen, the film crew was sitting on stage, waiting for Li Ruotong's arrival.
Director He Chen, wearing thick glasses and with a slim figure, was beaming with delight at the mont, truly elated.
As a new director, having one film win such an award as the Golden Goblet, how could he not be excited?
"Li Ruotong!" As Li Ruotong appeared at the entrance of the theater, dozens of reporters couldn't stay put any longer. They rushed forward, surrounding the big star in a crowd.
The security in the theater imdiately blocked them, while Luo Chao stayed closely by her side. At this mont, He Chen smiled and said, "The reporters are so enthusiastic, Ruotong, why not let them interview you first?"
"Alright!" Li Ruotong, in a great mood, agreed as well. Once the security allowed them through, dozens of reporters surrounded Li Ruotong. These reporters had badges on their chests, requiring multiple identity checks to gain entry here, so they were bona fide entertainnt reporters.
Several reporters in the front squeezed closer, placing microphones in front of Li Ruotong and imdiately started asking questions.
"Miss Li Ruotong, this ti you won two major awards, and you have never received any professional acting training. How did you accomplish this?"
"Miss Li, you're a pop diva, what made you suddenly decide to act in movies?"
"Miss Ruotong, may I ask if you have soone you like?"
"——"
Amidst the bombardnt of questions from many reporters, Li Ruotong didn't know which to answer first. Being surrounded like this, she even felt her breathing was sowhat constricted.
Just as Li Ruotong was about to answer the first question, in the blink of an eye, a female reporter in front of Li Ruorong had a cold glint flash in her eyes, and a sliver of silver appeared on her hand. Her speed was extrely fast, raising her hand, a small knife lunging towards Li Ruotong's neck, intending to slit her throat with one stroke.
The sudden change made everyone's pupils constrict sharply. The assassin's movents were executed perfectly, and she had hidden her intentions so well, striking suddenly with great speed and force, making it difficult even for an expert in ancient martial arts to guard against!
This assassin was definitely a top-tier killer, her killing intent seamlessly hidden and her explosive power exceedingly astonishing. Just when everyone thought Li Ruotong was about to perish, a gust of wind whipped past, and with a crisp "ding," this lightning-speed movent made everyone draw a cold breath.
Only the star's bodyguard, no one knew when he made his move, caught the sharp blade instantly with two fingers, immobilizing the assassin, astonishing the crowd. The bodyguard was so strong that no one saw when he took action!
Moreover, the crowd noticed that the blade was only one centiter away from Li Ruotong's neck. Had the bodyguard been 0.1 seconds slower, the big star would surely have been killed by the assassin.
Li Ruotong was already pale with fright, her delicate body trembling slightly. A mont ago, she almost believed she was going to die. In that instant, she thought of many things: she hadn't yet given her innocence to Luo Chao, hadn't said goodbye to her parents, and there was also marrying Luo Chao—
In short, Luo Chao's shadow filled Li Ruotong's mind, yet Luo Chao had pulled her back from the gates of hell.
At this mont, the assassin looked at Luo Chao with shock. How could this bodyguard be so formidable? No one she intended to kill had ever escaped from her hands!
However, when her first strike failed, another blade appeared in the assassin's other hand, stabbing towards Li Ruotong's heart. However, Luo Chao moved closely along, a flow of white energy in his palm, striking directly at the blade with a "clang," breaking the sharp knife in one heavy blow, and his palm landed directly on the assassin's chest.
With a spurt, the assassin coughed up a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with fear, ancient martial arts' Dantian True Qi!
All the reporters witnessed the assassin being flung back, quickly stepping aside, while Luo Chao swiftly charged forward. However, due to the obstructing reporters, by the ti he arrived, the assassin had already disappeared. This killer was exceedingly strong, even after sustaining severe injuries, she could escape so quickly.
Under the dark and windy night on the road outside Southeast University, a woman was running rapidly, weaving through traffic without a hint of care.
"Leaving so soon? Why not stay and chat for a while?" A seductive voice entered the woman's ear, her face turning pale instantly, looking at a distance where a man was leaning leisurely against a lamppost, smoking a cigarette, blowing out a puff of smoke with a bit of ease.
This god-like man, who else could it be but Luo Chao?
"Who on earth are you," the woman already felt the terror of Luo Chao, her palm trembling slightly as she spoke with a twisted expression.
Luo Chao took another puff of his cigarette, unhurriedly saying, "Who I am is not important, what's important is I need to know who hired Soul Destruction's assassins to kill Li Ruotong."
The assassin's earlier strike was incredibly fast, even a strong figure like Luo Chao would have been killed. However, Luo Chao was the number one bodyguard in Zhongnanhai, the nesis of assassins, with keen reflexes and senses that detect all. He would notice even the slightest movent.
The assassin gritted her teeth and said, "Since you know I'm a Soul Destruction assassin, you should understand that even if I'm dead, I wouldn't leak a bit of information to you."
"Don't even think about swallowing that poison in your teeth," Luo Chao had no intention of making a move, mocking, "Even if you die, I'll go to Cold Night to settle the scores!"
"You—how do you know our leader is Cold Night," the assassin's body started shaking violently, on the brink of madness, desperately wanting to know who Luo Chao was, and scread, "Who are you exactly, why do you know so much about Soul Destruction."
He even knows I have poison in my teeth, and recognizes that the boss of the Soul Destruction organization is Cold Night, this assassin was borderline collapsing, why did today's mission encounter such a freak!
Luo Chao calmly smiled, "Tell Cold Night, if the client isn't handed over within three days, I will head to the United States and raze your Soul Destruction!"
Having said that, Luo Chao flicked the cigarette butt off his finger, and the butt traced a magnificent arc, landing in a trash can at the roadside before he turned and vanished into the night.
