The patrons at several nearby tables in the café all stood up, shock evident on their faces as they watched the scene unfold.
The staff nearby stood frozen in place, holding coffee cups in their hands.
Like a madwoman, Xia Xini scread loudly and suddenly broke free from the bodyguard, rushing headlong toward the corner of a table.
Nangong Yaoling’s expression changed, and he quickly pressed Xiaonuan’s head into his embrace.
Screams of horror echoed throughout the café.
Xia Xini collapsed onto the floor, her head covered in blood, her eyes wide open.
Situ Yan... I’m sorry, my mission is incomplete... I’m... I’m coming for you...
******
The air fell into a deathly silence.
The scent of blood lingered all around.
Xia Xiaonuan was startled by the loud bang, along with the screams in the café, causing every pore on her body to stand on end.
Her face turned pale, and her heart sank heavily.
She tightly clutched Nangong Yaoling’s coat, inhaling the familiar scent from him, yet she still fearfully raised her head from his embrace, nervously trying to turn around.
However, before she could turn, Nangong Yaoling reached out and forcefully turned her face back.
"Everything that has happened, Xiaonuan, she’s brought this upon herself. Don’t look." The scene was truly shocking, and Xiaonuan was pregnant; he didn’t want any images to discomfort her.
She had already endured enough hurt and fright during this ti.
Xia Xiaonuan trembled all over, shaking her head like a puppet.
Nangong Yaoling coldly glanced at the bodyguard, who understood imdiately and hurriedly covered the corpse with a cloth, then carried it away.
"What... what happened to her?" Xia Xiaonuan, tears in her eyes, broke free from Nangong Yaoling’s grasp, gazing towards the departing Xia Xini.
With the bodyguard blocking her view, she couldn’t see Xia Xini’s face at all.
Nangong Yaoling extended his hand, gently brushing her hair.
"Xiaonuan, it’s all over. Do you understand?"
A sudden feeling of extre sadness welled up in Xia Xiaonuan’s heart.
The thing she feared most had happened, after all.
As if overnight, she no longer had any relatives in this world...
Even though she wasn’t sure if Xia Xini was truly her sister.
"No..." Xia Xiaonuan shook her head in agony, her eyes complexly looking at the man’s handso yet slightly somber face: "She... she wasn’t originally trying to hurt ..."
Nangong Yaoling furrowed his brow.
"Enough, don’t ntion it anymore." His eyes slightly darkened as he took Xiaonuan’s hand, his voice soft, embodying both inclusion and affection: "Let’s go, you’re tired, I’ll take you ho to rest."
Xia Xiaonuan moved passively, leading by the hand of the man before her, step by step toward the café’s exit.
Everyone in the café was stupefied, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
Soone had called the police; outside, police cars’ sirens roared, officers with holstered guns hurried over.
Upon seeing Nangong Yaoling, their expressions slightly changed.
"Young Master... Young Master? This..."
Qin Yi quickly stepped forward: "She killed herself."
The officer looked troubled.
"This... Could Mr. Qin co with to the police station to give a statent..."
"Alright, I’ll go with you." Qin Yi glanced at Nangong Yaoling: "Young Master, I’ll be back soon."
Nangong Yaoling nodded expressionlessly, exuding an air of nobility. He took Xiaonuan’s hand and headed toward the car.
