"Luo Xiaolei!" the voice that was calling her was getting louder. She could tell that Yu Chen was starting to panic but she still couldn't answer him. The man before her was obviously about to attack her since he failed in his attempt to catch her off guard a while ago.
Yu Chen continued calling her name and she also heard him order his driver to go faster. Knowing that Yu Chen was coming, Luo Xiaolei felt a sense of confidence.
In her previous life, she had never considered learning martial arts to protect herself. She relied on her bodyguards. Her men back then always did their job pretty well and did not let anyone hurt her. But after what happened on her wedding night, she realized that if she wanted to survive, she needed to learn how to protect herself without relying to anyone else.
That was why she enrolled in a karate class and she'd been doing well in that. She was even labeled as the badass beauty and she was confident with her skills. She had been learning martial arts for a few years now and she was one belt away from getting a black belt. She was clearly athletic and a fast learner that she even managed beat three men once during a training session. However, she had never been in real trouble before where she had to use her skills. Reality was always different. What was worse was that, as the man stared at her with those murderous eyes, the face of Yun Jinhan slowly cornering her to her death appeared in her head.
She subconsciously took a step back, causing the man to also step forward. Her knees were starting to tremble and then she was reminded of that feeling she felt that horrifying night. She felt as though that scene was being reenacted now and horror took over her. Once again, she realized that she was still swimming in the pool of her past. She tried her best to keep afloat by teaching herself how to swim and even though she succeeded in not drowning, she couldn't leave the pool no matter how far away she went, nor how hard she swam. In the back of her mind, she knew it was because no one was there to help pull her up from the water. She had no one; she was alone in this world.
Actually, there was now a single hand that was reaching out to her, but she was afraid; afraid that once she took it, it would turn out to be the same as the hand she once held, the hand that killed her. 𝒇𝒓ℯewe𝒃𝓷o𝘃𝒆𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
"Xiaolei! Luo Xiaolei!!"
Luo Xiaolei, who was now drowning in fear, was startled once again by Yu Chen's voice calling out her name.
"Luo Xiaolei! Are you alright! I'm coming for you!" He continued, his voice seemed to be filled with worry and panic. Surprisingly, his beautiful voice was like a strong wind, blowing away the horror from her eyes. The face of Yun Jinhan was replaced by Yu Chen's and she felt like she could breathe again. Her head was out of the water. She could picture his expressionless face, frantically calling her name and she felt like she just received an energy ball rejuvenating her back to life.
This was something she didn't expect. She didn't know that just by hearing his voice, just by knowing that he was coming for her, Luo Xiaolei's fear dissapeared.
And then the next second, the moment the man moved to attack her, Luo Xiaolei suddenly sidestepped, swiftly like a wind and snapped a front kick into the man's throat.
Unfortunately, the man blocked her supposedly almost lethal attack. She took a few steps back, her eyes wary but sharp like a tiger's.
It looked like this man wasn't just anyone; she could feel he wasn't just some random thug. He was more than good and she could feel the aura of someone who had killed not just once but countless times, coming from him. But strangely, Luo Xiaolei didn't crumble in fear again. It looked like as long as she got rid of the scenes from that night from her head; she was fearless.
However, the fearless gaze that replaced the horror in her eyes seemed to have excited the man before her. The man's eyes lit up like a maniac who just found his interesting prey.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaolei sensed an even greater danger coming. The instant the man attempted to attack again, Luo Xiaolei stopped his advance with a side kick to his face. But for the second time, the man skillfully dodged it.
Luo Xiaolei gritted her teeth. If she couldn't beat this man, she must at least buy time until Yu Chen arrived.
So she attempted to run but just as she turned her back to run away, the man jumped on her in a flash and grabbed her from behind.
'Heh, got ya!' Luo Xiaolei thought as she smirked, because this was exactly what she wanted.
Once the man hugged her, Luo Xiaolei threw a rear lift kick into his groin. But then, again, the man seemed to have read her next move. Luo Xiaolei was well prepared this time. She predicted that this man would still avoid that attack. What she was really aiming for was the move after the rear lift kick.
The moment the man avoided her kick, Luo Xiolei whipped around with an elbow smash to his face. Once the man fell, Luo Xiaolei didn't wait nor hesitate even for a second and finished him with a stomp to the face.
What happened was like an scripted scene from a movie. It was swift and cool. Anyone who would watch this will admire Luo Xiaolei's badass moves.
After making sure that the man on the ground can't stand anymore, the first thing Luo Xiaolei thought about was Yu Chen. But before she could even utter his name, she felt a chill coming from behind her.
When she turned, she saw that taxi driver standing far from her and the gun in his hand was already pointed at her.
"Heh! As expected with that bastard's fiancee."
