Her speed was astonishing, Xu Qian barely had time to react.
Fortunately, her reflexes were sharp. She grabbed the blade barehanded, the knife stopping a mere centimeter from her temple.
Her palm throbbed as if it were splitting open, blood instantly streaming down her wrist.
The woman in black gritted her teeth, "Meddling busybody."
Xu Qian's eyes turned cold, and she kicked out, snapping the woman's already weakened leg.
The woman was forced to her knees, the dagger clattering to the ground.
This time, Xu Qian showed no mercy. She bound her hands and feet, gagged her mouth, and then released her.
The woman whimpered and cried, unable to make a sound, thrashing and struggling in vain.
The fight over, Xu Qian finally felt the ache in her hands, her feet, and a slight dizziness in her head.
The ground was littered with shards of porcelain and glass, many stepped on during the fight, and splatters of blood stained the floor.
As she debated whether to walk a few steps through the pain or wait, a commotion arose.
A group of people in black…
The leader's face was dark, his eyes, hidden by glasses, were icily cold. He strode into the L family's residence.
The young woman didn't move. She tilted her body slightly and pointed to the woman bound tightly, saying calmly, "Caught her."
The sight of the blood was shocking.
But…
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing quickened. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The young woman's face was pale, her hair disheveled, possibly from the intense fight. Her qipao was slightly creased, but it did nothing to detract from her beauty.
She had a stunning figure, her green qipao adorned with peonies, accentuating her curves. The flower petals lay against her flat abdomen, her legs so long…
[Ding, Tang Zhishen's favorability +10, total favorability is 10.]
Hearing the system's prompt, the young woman narrowed her eyes and softly called out, "President Tang?"
The man's gaze was fixed on her, unmoving.
Xu Qian's brows furrowed slightly. He was just staring, even though she was bleeding profusely!
Suddenly, Tang Zhishen's eyes flickered. He strode forward and scooped her up in his arms. He gave her a slight shake, noting how thin she was, with no weight at all. She really needed to eat more.
Xu Qian didn't resist; she had intended to seduce him anyway.
Her injured palm curled up in his embrace. Her other hand rested lightly on his shoulder, steadying herself.
She didn't lean against him without permission. This man's favorability was only 5 points; if he got annoyed, he'd just throw her to the ground…
The man commanded in a deep voice, "Take her away, interrogate her thoroughly."
"Yes."
"Zhishen, how is Qianqian??"
As a shout rang out, a petite figure rushed over. The woman's eyes were tearful, her neck perfectly intact, clearly healed by a healer-type ability user.
"Ah, Qianqian, why are you bleeding so much! The doctor is already here and waiting nearby."
Upon seeing the scene, the woman's eyes instantly reddened with apparent urgency. However, she still looked down at her own eldest son's leg.
"Zhishen, your…"
"Mom, it's fine. You go back and rest."
The man, carrying her, walked past his mother and into the neighboring Xiang family's shop, where a female physician was already waiting.
The woman didn't leave, instead following them into the shop.
Qianqian was injured saving her, how could she leave?
The man carefully placed her on the sofa, commanding in a deep voice, "Treat her quickly!"
Xu Qian's brow furrowed. She was a half-zombie; she didn't know if she could be healed…
The female doctor, wearing a white mask that only revealed her clear, delicate eyes, gently spread her palm with gloved hands.
The emotionally unstable Mrs. Tang gasped, "How is it so severe?"
Tang Zhishen's brows knitted, but he remained silent.
On her palm, the size of a small fan, was a gash. Flesh was torn open, blood pouring out, the bone almost exposed.
