He groaned from pain, and the knife fell from his hand to the floor with a cling. Making use of the opportunity, Xinghe collected all her strength and trampled on the man's foot. She heard the man yelp, and the pressure on her neck loosened. She then grabbed his arm and flung him over her, and the man landed heavily on the floor.
Just as Xinghe planned to pursue her assault, the man suddenly pulled out a gun and fired at her!
Xinghe heard two sounds immediately. One was the gunfire, and another was herself slamming against the wall. Xinghe was feeling light-headed, and before she could recover, the man had retreated back into the room, and the door was slammed shut.
"I will kill you if you dare to come in!" the man inside threatened darkly. The next second, Xinghe felt herself being picked up from the floor and dragged to hide behind a corner. She raised her head in confusion to look at this person who had appeared from the dark. Who is he?
