Ruan Bai's voice was not very loud, but in this silent stairwell, it seemed very abrupt.
"Meow, meow..." The snow-white sweetheart called out twice after hearing Ruan Bai's voice, and wagged its tail at her.
Lin Ning's room seemed to hear sounds from outside, and suddenly there was an eerie silence.
The window in the stairwell was open, and the wind blew from the outside, rolling up Ruan Bai's ink-like hair, which strangely gave her goosebumps.
Seeing no response from the room, Ruan Bai knocked on the door harder: "Ning Ning, mom asked me to ask you to come out for dinner. Open the door... are you there?"
After about two minutes, Lin Ning's slightly annoyed voice came from inside: "I understand, why are you urging me? You go down first, and I will go down immediately after I change my clothes!"
"Okay, I understand."
After Ruan Bai answered her words, he did not leave directly, but stood quietly at the railing next to him, waiting quietly.
Sweetheart stared at her with a pair of big aqua eyes, and meowed twice.
Ruan Bai made a gesture to silence it, bent down to hold it in his arms, rubbed its smooth hair, and stared at the movement of Lin Ning's door with bated breath.
About ten minutes later, the door to Lin Ning's room suddenly opened.
She cautiously looked out the door and saw that no one was outside, so she patted her chest with some relief.
The location where Ruan Bai was hiding was right in Lin Ning's blind spot, so she didn't notice her presence.
Ruan Bai looked through the gap and caught a glimpse of a man's figure inside.
Yes, she was pretty sure it was a man.
Although the man's back was turned to her and she couldn't see his face for the time being, she could see the huge and terrifying tattoo on his back.
"Meow..." Tianxin suddenly jumped out of Ruan Bai's arms, looking a little manic, and suddenly rushed towards the open door.
Just as Lin Ning was about to close the door, Tianxin pounced on her, causing her to scream.
The door was opened by the cat.
"Damn bitch cat, you almost scared me to death!" Lin Ning saw that it was the chinchilla cat. She was so angry that her face changed shape, and she stepped on its tail hard.
"Meow...wu..." Tianxin let out a painful cry, stretched out her sharp claws, and grabbed Lin Ning's exposed calf.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ruan Bai immediately stepped out from the shadows: "Lin Ning, what do you want to do? This is my mother's pet..."
"You...why are you still here?" Lin Ning saw Ruan Bai suddenly appear, and his little face suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost, turning extremely pale.
But before Lin Ning finished speaking, Ruan Bai saw the man in the room.
He turned around with a half-smile.
The moment he saw his face, Ruan Bai's mind went blank: "No -"
Xue Lang, why is he here? Could it be that the man who was entangled with Lin Ning just now is him?
She just wanted to run down the stairs, but the man covered her mouth with his hand from behind.
Then, something cold was pressed against her temple, which was a gun.
Ruan Bai's eyes widened, panic and helplessness came over her like a tidal wave.
"Since this woman has come to your door, I won't be polite. I'm going to kill her!" Xue Lang said to Lin Ning sinisterly, pressing his finger on the trigger. It seemed that with just a slight movement, Ruan Bai could go immediately.
Meet the King of Hell.
Ruan Bai's whole body became extremely stiff.
She suppressed her breathing, her whole heart was in her throat, and even a thin layer of cold sweat broke out in her body. She didn't expect Lin Ning to be so bold, without distinction between right and wrong, and dared to harbor a wanted person in City A.
The main offender.
Lin Ning was so frightened that her heart and liver trembled.
She didn't care about the cat anymore and stammered: "Xue, Brother Xue, no, don't kill her... If I kill her, my parents will definitely not forgive me, and I will be kicked out of the Lin family.
What should I do? Besides, if you kill her, another life will be on your hands. She is my parents’ eyeball, and the city’s wanted people will definitely be more strict by then. You can’t kill her!”
If it weren't for Xue Lang killing Ruan Bai in the Lin family, she would have smiled happily and clapped her hands.
But not now. Not to mention his parents are here, even Mu Shaoling is here. Needless to say how powerful that man is, it can be seen that he could easily turn the Xue family, a century-old family, into a mess some time ago.
The Chinchilla cat took advantage of this opportunity and ran away quickly, running downstairs...
Xue Lang covered Ruan Bai's mouth and increased his strength, as if he wanted to suffocate her to death, making her originally free breathing become difficult.
The instinct of survival made her subconsciously use all her strength to fiddle with the hand that imprisoned her.
But at this moment, a dull and steady sound of footsteps gradually approached the stairs, and Ruan Bai saw Mu Shaoling coming in a hurry!
"Xiao Bai..." Seeing Ruan Bai being held hostage, Mu Shaoling was shocked and angry.
The knuckles of his fingers cracked, and an extremely cold look burst out from his eyes.
"Well..." Ruan Bai wanted to shout loudly to remind Mu Shaoling that Xue Lang had a gun.
But her mouth was tightly sealed, and she had no chance to speak. She could only let out a dull whimper.
The moment he saw Mu Shaoling, Xue Lang's whole body was aroused with anger. The gun that was originally pointed at Ruan Bai's temple fired directly at Mu Shaoling.
The silenced bullet was fired silently, but Mu Shaoling dodged it with great agility and slammed a wooden stool towards Xue Lang.
The sharp bullet hit the carved staircase next to him, leaving a deep bullet mark.
"ah--"
Lin Ning screamed in fright, trembling all over, holding her head in her hands and squatting down, fearing that the bullet would not have eyes.
This stupid woman!
"Shut up, I!" Xue Lang cursed fiercely, dodged the stool Mu Shaoling threw at him in time, and quickly fired back from Ruan Bai's armpit.
The huge impact made Ruan Bai's body tremble.
Although the gun was silenced, it still made her ears buzz.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which was terrible, but Xue Lang pinched her neck again, as if her neck was going to be crushed in the next moment!
Ruan Bai struggled desperately, and the slippers on her feet had long disappeared. Fortunately, there was a carpet, but she did not dare to scream, fearing that she would lose her life immediately if she made a sound, but she widened her eyes, worried
Looking at Mu Shaoling.
Xue Lang has a gun and is ruthless, but Mu Shaoling has nothing to offer, and she is restrained by this ruthless murderer. Now this situation is really unfavorable for Mu Shaoling...
