Chapter 272 - 272 Slipped
272 Slipped
He looked at his phone in confusion.
“Someone seems to have entered your house. It must have been premeditated. He has your elevator card.”
Xiang Yin’s confused expression instantly darkened. He did not expect that that group of people had already followed him here.
“I’m not going back. It’s okay. Don’t go up.”
He knew that Gu Man had his elevator card and was afraid that she would go upstairs on impulse and bump into the person the other party had arranged.
“How many people are there?”
“It looks like there’s only one.”
Xiang Yin paused. “One?”
Had he been underestimated because he had not appeared for too long?
“Yes, I saw one person. There might be other accomplices.”
Hearing Xiang Yin’s tone, Gu Man wondered if she had missed something.
“Stay at home. You don’t have to interfere in this matter.”
After Xiang Yin reminded her repeatedly, he hung up and continued to drive in the direction of the bungalow.
Gu Man looked at the call interface and put her phone in her pocket. She swiped the elevator card and went up to the fourth floor.
She had heard the sound of a car starting on the phone just now. Xiang Yin was probably still on the way. If she waited for him to return, that person might have done everything he needed to do.
Thinking about how much Xiang Yin had taken care of her usually, it was fine to help with this small favor.
She forgot what Xiang Yin instructed her and stepped into the elevator, looking at the slowly rising numbers.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened and a black figure lunged forward. Silver light still flickered in his hand.
Gu Man dodged his attack and raised her leg to kick the other party’s abdomen. The man fell to the ground and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.
Only then did Gu Man see that this person was holding a silver dagger.
“Why are you here?”
The man in black only revealed his eyes. He stared at where Gu Man was, picked up the dagger, and attacked again.
This time, Gu Man did not even take out her hand from her pocket. She only raised her foot and the man was sent flying again.
This person was a little weak. Could it be a smokescreen?
To be able to enter such a high-end district and even get an elevator card, Gu Man thought that the other party’s abilities should not be so lousy.
After staring at the man for a long time, Gu Man could not see anything. Instead, the man was the first to get angry and rushed over with a dagger.
This time, he was much smarter than the previous two times. Seeing Gu Man raise her leg, he hurriedly stabbed at her other leg. Unexpectedly, Gu Man changed her leg in midair in a strange posture. The leg that should have been kicked his abdomen now kicked the side of his face.
The strength Gu Man displayed made the man know that he was not Gu Man’s match. He quickly threw down the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground, his hands clasped together.
“Heroine, please spare me. I’m just stealing something out of boredom. I don’t want anything else.”
Gu Man was a little puzzled. Thieves nowadays were so powerful. They could even get elevator cards from high-end districts?
Just as Gu Man was puzzled, the elevator door behind her made a sound. Gu Man turned around and met Xiang Yin, who had appeared in the elevator.
Seeing the doubt in Xiang Yin’s eyes turn to anger, she scratched her head awkwardly and remembered his instructions before she hung up.
“Listen to me…”
Halfway through her sentence, she saw Xiang Yin hurriedly walk towards her and even jog.
It couldn’t be. She just didn’t listen to his instructions. Besides, she was fine now.
Before she could react, a chill made her turn around subconsciously. She saw the man who had been kneeling and begging for mercy pick up the dagger again and stab her back.
Her body was faster than her brain. Before Gu Man could react, her leg had already kicked out.
Xiang Yin, who was about to move forward, stopped in his tracks and looked at Gu Man in a daze. The man, who was about to launch a sneak attack, covered his crotch with both hands and wailed in pain.
“Sorry, my foot slipped.”
“Didn’t I tell you to stay at home? Why did you come to the fourth floor?”
