The madness in the audience quickly got out of control.

They were no longer satisfied with just throwing teacups and pouring hot water, some began to pick up chairs and benches and smash them onto the stage!

The wooden tabletop was smashed with a loud bang, as if cheering for the atrocities happening below the stage!

These people are not "guests" at all, they are here to cause trouble!

Xi Yu hugged Cui Tiantian and dodged another attack, "Tiantian, we have to run, otherwise something bad will happen!"

"good!"

Xi Yi grabbed Cui Tiantian's wrist, and before a new round of vandalism began in the audience, he dragged Cui Tiantian towards the stairs on the side of the stage!

As soon as they ran, shouts were heard from downstairs.

"Oh no, they're trying to run away!"

The people in the audience seemed to have heard the charge horn, and they followed the order and rushed towards the two men!

Xi Yu didn't care about the debris on the ground and jumped off the stage with all his strength.

However, a needle-like pain suddenly shot up between the lips where the foot landed.

"ah--"

"What's wrong?"

Xi Yu almost fell to the ground, and Cui Tiantian quickly grabbed him.

"It's okay, let's go!" Xi Yu gritted his teeth and rushed into the safe passage while enduring the severe pain.

The narrow and long safety passage could not accommodate too many people at the same time. Relying on their small stature, the two men rushed in, turning around and around to shake off the people who were following them.

Xi Yu rushed out of the venue relying on his vague memory, and the two of them squeezed out of the side door in sweat.

Cui Tiantian was so tired that she squatted on the ground gasping for breath.

Xi Yu wanted to move his ankle, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain.

Misplaced.

Xi Yu looked around and said, "Do you have your phone with you? Let's call a taxi."

"No, all the luggage is backstage," Cui Tiantian stood up, "Shall we find a place to hide first?"

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly moved under a big tree not far away.

Xi Yu protected Cui Tiantian behind him, "Who!"

Several men in black suits came out.

These guys looked well-trained and strong, completely different from the "ragtag group" in the audience.

Xi Yu, "Who are you?"

"Miss Xi," the leading man stepped out from the shadows, "We came here just to bring a message to Miss Xi."

"What?"

"A toy should be treated as a toy. Don't covet things that don't belong to you. This is just a small lesson. I hope Miss Xi will take care of herself and not bring more trouble to her friends."

Xi Yu's eyes couldn't stop reddening, and he subconsciously grabbed Cui Tiantian's wrist, watching the man in the suit leave quickly.

Only after the person disappeared did Cui Tiantian pat Xi Yu's arm and said, "Sister Xi Yu, you hurt me."

"Sorry," Xi Yu quickly let go of her hand and checked her injuries, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Cui Tiantian pursed her lips, "Sister Xi, what do they mean?"

Xi Yu's hand paused.

"Tiantian, I'm the one who got you into trouble tonight."

"How could it be? It's obviously me who caused you trouble. Offstage——"

"Tiantian," Xi Yu looked directly into Cui Tiantian's eyes, "Did you hear what that group of people said just now?"

"I heard you, but...what do they mean?"

"I just saw Chu Ying in the audience."

Cui Tiantian was stunned and silent for a while before she realized what Xi Yu meant. "You mean, the performance tonight is Chu Ying?"

"Well," Xi Yu's expression was full of fatigue, and he looked even more miserable under the moonlight, "She tricked us into coming here, and deliberately used your matter to threaten me."

Xi Yu took a deep breath, "She used you to warn me to stay away from Zong Du."

Chu Ying didn’t care about her relationship with Zong Du before, because she believed Xi Yu was just a “toy”.

But this Zong family gathering made Chu Ying feel threatened.

No, it's not even a threat, it's displeasure.

There is no need for toys that make their owners unhappy to exist.

This was the message Chu Ying conveyed to Xi Yu.

Cui Tiantian couldn't bear to see Xi Yu's expression changing back and forth, "Then...does Zong Du know?"

Xi Yu closed his eyes and said, "He's here too."

She and Cui Tiantian were being used as targets, and he watched expressionlessly at the main table.

Cui Tiantian's breathing quickened a little, "Rubbish!"

The two found a corner and sat down. They waited for almost an hour until all the people in the venue left.

Xi Yu took Cui Tiantian back to the backstage, found their bags, and then called a taxi back to the city.

The two of them went to the rented house and took a long time to wash off the dirt on their bodies, then threw the horse-faced skirt into the washing machine.

"Fortunately I got the check in advance, otherwise I would have had to take a taxi and do laundry, which would have been a loss." Cui Tiantian tried to find the joy in the midst of hardship.

Xi Yu took out the massage oil and kept rubbing his red and swollen ankle, sweating from the pain.

Cui Tiantian looked at Xi Yu and said, "It just so happens that we have an exam soon. Why don't we not take any jobs for the time being?"

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Cui Tiantian is still frightened by what happened tonight.

Xi Yu nodded, "Don't tell Fang Mo about what happened tonight, otherwise he will definitely feel bad."

"knew."

After having supper, Xi Yu rubbed his eyes and saw that it was almost midnight, so he was about to leave.

"Why? You can't even stay the night at my place?"

"...He might go back."

Cui Tiantian gritted her teeth and said, "These rotten cucumbers are really harmful!"

When Xi Yu took a taxi back to the apartment, Zong Du had not returned yet.

After a quick wash, Xi Yu lay down on the bed. Half asleep and half awake, her cell phone rang, and she quickly reached for it.

"Hello?"

"Xi Yu, are you okay?"

Xi Yu opened his eyes and glanced at the screen. He saw that it was Fang Mo's number . "Why are you calling me at this time?"

"I've been in closed training outside recently, and I can only make a few minutes of phone calls when I return to the dormitory." Fang Mo's voice was a little anxious, "You have nothing to do recently?"

"No," Xi Qi ignored what happened tonight, "I've been reviewing recently, and I have an exam next week, how about you?"

"I'm fine. Brother Hu takes good care of me. I'll take some time off to go back to school for exams. I may not return to school in my senior year." Fang Mo spoke quickly, "I called you mainly to tell you that Xi Kuoshan is missing!"

"Gone? What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says," Fang Mo said in a deep voice, "I asked Brother Hu to help me keep an eye on him, but the day before yesterday Brother Hu suddenly received a message saying that he was missing."

Xi Yu's heart skipped a beat. "He has a serious gambling addiction. There's no way he wouldn't come to the table."

"Yes, that's what I said. But Brother Tiger said that he didn't catch anyone in the several underground casinos he often played in."

"That..."

"No matter what happens to him, you have to protect yourself." Fang Mo's words were full of worry, "I'm afraid he'll notice something and become desperate."

"I understand," Xi Yu lowered his eyes, "Thank you."

"I've been training outside recently, and my cell phone has been taken away, so it may be inconvenient to contact you. I'll send you Brother Hu's number, and you can contact him if you have any questions."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Mo sent the number.

Just as Xi Yu saved the message, his phone vibrated again.

Xi Yu pressed the answer button, and Zhuang Yi's hoarse voice rang out, "Yu Yu."
