The patrons at several nearby tables in the café all stood up, shock evident on their faces as they watched the scene unfold.
The staff nearby stood frozen in place, holding coffee cups in their hands.
Like a madwoman, Xia Xinmei screamed loudly and suddenly broke free from the bodyguard, rushing headlong toward the corner of a table.
Nangong Yaoling's expression changed, and he quickly pressed Xiaonuan's head into his embrace.
Screams of horror echoed throughout the café.
Xia Xinmei collapsed onto the floor, her head covered in blood, her eyes wide open.
Situ Yan… I'm sorry, my mission is incomplete… I'm… I'm coming for you…

The air fell into a deathly silence.
The scent of blood lingered all around.
Xia Xiaonuan was startled by the loud bang, along with the screams in the café, causing every pore on her body to stand on end.
Her face turned pale, and her heart sank heavily.
