As soon as Zhang Liang spoke, Layle pounced on him, biting his leg. However, Layle was too small to cause any harm.

Zhang Liang winced in pain and kicked Layle in the stomach, sending it flying a considerable distance. Xia Xin even saw Layle cough up a mouthful of blood.

“Layle!” Xia Xin cried out in anguish at the sight of Layle’s injury. Seizing the opportunity while Xia Xin was distracted, Zhang Liang moved in to restrain her.

Thankfully, Xia Xin’s reflexes were swift. She bent over, evading Zhang Liang’s grasp, and simultaneously grabbed his wrist, using her skill to lower his upper body.

Xia Xin raised her knee, knocking it against Zhang Liang’s head. Blood instantly trickled from his nose.

Zhang Liang was thoroughly enraged. He said, “Very well, it seems you’ve learned something. But do you think this is enough to deal with me?”

Zhang Liang lunged at Xia Xin again, but she skillfully used a soft approach to overcome his aggression. After a few rounds of confrontation, Zhang Liang hadn’t gained any advantage and was left bruised all over.

Fueled by anger, Zhang Liang abandoned any sense of sportsmanship. He grabbed a vase from the table, emptied the flowers from it, and attempted to use the vase to strike Xia Xin.

Although Xia Xin had learned combat techniques, she couldn’t defend against such a hard object. She used her uninjured elbow to shield her head, but the vase shattered upon impact, and glass shards cut into her arm. The pain left her temporarily incapacitated.

As Zhang Liang prepared to strike again, Xia Xin quickly retrieved a bottle of Charming Elixir from her pocket, intending to incapacitate him and then call the police.

In this critical moment, the sound of a dog barking echoed from outside the door, along with the doorbell ringing.

Outside, Jing MO was still hesitating about whether he should disturb Xia Xin so late at night. However, no matter how hard he tried to pull Bobo back home, Bobo’s temper remained stubborn.

Jing MO had been walking the dog downstairs when he noticed a car parked outside Xia Xin’s building. Two women had gotten out of the car, but he couldn’t clearly identify them due to the backlight.

Yet, Bobo immediately recognized Xia Xin’s scent and almost rushed over. Seeing how agitated Bobo was, Jing MO knew that the person who got out of the car must be Xia Xin. He stopped Bobo and said, “She’s entertaining friends, you can’t disturb her. Otherwise, she might stop walking you.”

Only then did Bobo reluctantly comply, but halfway there, Jing MO sensed that something was off. Even Bobo seemed to feel that person’s aura was very familiar. It was only then that Jing MO recalled the man driving the car was the same guy who had attempted to harass Xia Xin that night.

However, Jing MO noticed that Xia Xin hadn’t argued with the man after getting out of the car, and they were in a group of three. Charging in without knowing the full situation would be inappropriate. He had been absent minded while walking Bobo, unsure whether he should go inquire about the situation.

But guided by Bobo’s instincts, Jing MO was dragged to Xia Xin’s doorstep, and it was then he heard the sound of shattered glass from inside. Realizing the situation was dire, he immediately pressed the doorbell. Bobo also sensed that Xia Xin might be in danger, as it had caught the scent of blood. Bobo started barking frantically.

Zhao Nan was worried about Xia Xin, but she knew she wouldn’t be of any help. If she interfered, it might make things worse for Xia Xin. So when she heard the doorbell. she immediately opened the door.

Just as the door opened slightly, Bobo squeezed in and lunged at Zhang Liang, biting his shoulder.

Zhang Liang screamed in pain, but Bobo’s grip was too strong for him to break free.

Seeing Zhang Liang subdued by Bobo, Xia Xin discreetly put away the

Charming Elixir.

Jing MO approached and helped Xia Xin up, inspecting the injuries on her arm. His eyes were filled with tenderness and anxiety, and he even felt a tinge of self-blame.

Growing increasingly weary, Xia Xin felt her vision blur and weakly uttered, “Call the police.” Then she fainted in Jing Mo’s arms.

With Zhang Liang now immobilized by Bobo, Zhao Nan assisted Xia Xin, guiding her to sit on the couch. Jing MO called the security guards of the residential complex to handle the situation and had them and the property management look after the scene.

After arranging everything, Jing MO immediately lifted Xia Xin and rushed her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Zhao Nan cradled the barely conscious Layle and followed them to the hospital.

Jing Mo’s anxiety was evident as he drove hurriedly, running several red lights and even exceeding the speed limit, determined to get Xia Xin to the nearest hospital as quickly as possible..
