So many things happened in one afternoon that Yuan Ying leaned back wearily on the ** and didn’t even want to eat dinner.

At this moment, the cozy life in the mountain villa in her hometown seemed especially precious.

Yuan Ying lay on her back on the **, and sighed deeply.Full novel: My gate connects the past and present: the general reveres me as a deity — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

The entertainment industry is too complicated, if only she could just act.

After lying down for more than ten minutes, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Yuan Ying rubbed her temples, thinking it was the hotel staff, and put on a mask to open the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a face that was all too familiar.

Yuan Ying reflexively tried to close the door.

But a woman’s strength is ultimately not as great as a man’s.

The two were deadlocked at the door.

“Yingying!” The person who came was Xu Nianyu, who had just posted on Weibo to ‘support’ Yuan Ying. He said anxiously, “I really know I was wrong, don’t be angry, okay?”

“Get out!”

Yuan Ying desperately pushed against the door.

She cursed herself for being too careless and not looking through the peephole.

Who would have thought that Xu Nianyu would be so shameless as to come to her door.

“I really want to apologize to you, give me a chance, okay?”

Xu Nianyu seemed to have rushed over, with a little sweat on his forehead, his handsome face flushed, and his eyes seemed red.

What a great actor.

If it were someone else, they might really soften.

But Yuan Ying wouldn’t.

She looked at Xu Nianyu with disgust:

“Give you a chance? If you reincarnate, I might consider it.”

“Yingying!”

“You don’t know how worried I’ve been these days not being able to find you.”

“She seduced me, I had a little too much to drink that day, and I was temporarily blinded… I swear, I will never do it again.”

Xu Nianyu still had that pitiful expression.

Unfortunately, Yuan Ying didn’t want to say another word to him:

“Get out, or I’ll call the police.”

“Yingying, it won’t do either of us any good if things get out of hand, listen to me, let’s talk it over, okay?”

Seeing that Xu Nianyu was still unwilling to leave, Yuan Ying woke up the voice assistant to call the police.

But Xu Nianyu took the opportunity to slam the door open.

Yuan Ying was knocked away by him, and he snatched her phone. Her body hit the wall, making a ‘thud’ sound, and she frowned in pain.

“Yingying, are you okay!”

After forcing his way in, Xu Nianyu showed a distressed and pitying expression.

Yuan Ying opened her mouth to shout for help.

“Help…”

As soon as she made a sound, Xu Nianyu covered her mouth.

He seemed to be crazy and wanted to hug Yuan Ying.

“I love you, Yingying. I will definitely treat you well in the future.”

“Let’s get married, let’s get the marriage certificate now.”

He knew about Yuan Ying’s family situation.

He also knew that she was actually a person who lacked security and a sense of belonging.

Therefore, his attempt to keep Yuan Ying by proposing marriage at this time only made Yuan Ying feel ridiculous.

In fact, he knew what she needed.

But he had always been pretending to be ignorant.

“Don’t be afraid, let me be your first man today, I promise, you will be the only woman in the future, give me one more chance…”

He actually wanted to forcibly possess her.

Yuan Ying struggled violently, her hands flailing, and her feet kicking him hard, but she was still restrained by him.

It was seven o’clock.

But she had told Si Hongjing yesterday that she was going on a long trip, so he didn’t need to come to her, so as not to expose himself in public and arouse suspicion.

Unexpectedly…

Looking at Xu Nianyu getting closer and closer to her, a sense of despair suddenly arose in her heart.

“Ah—”

A man’s painful cry rang out.

The next second, she was pulled into someone’s arms.

The familiar and reassuring smoky scent entered her nostrils, instantly soothing Yuan Ying’s anxious and desperate heart.

“Are you okay?” Si Hongjing asked anxiously.

“Yeah.” Yuan Ying nodded, her body trembling but her eyes coldly looking at Xu Nianyu, who had been kicked to the ground in the room. She picked up the phone on the ground and unhesitatingly dialed 110 to call the police.

After confirming that Yuan Ying was okay, Si Hongjing drew out the dagger from his waist and directly pressed it against Xu Nianyu’s throat.

“You dare to humiliate her, you deserve to die.”

“W-who are you! Murder is against the law!”

Xu Nianyu felt the cold, sharp touch on his neck, and stuttered a little.

The strange man in front of him had a dark face, eyes like knives, and a surging murderous intent. The low pressure around him almost froze the air.

He really had the intention to kill.

“So what?”

Si Hongjing’s dagger tip pressed forward again.

This time, Xu Nianyu really felt the pain, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted at Yuan Ying:

“Yuan Ying! You’ll pay with your life if you kill someone! Hurry up and stop him!”

Yuan Ying sneered and ignored him.

Xu Nianyu completely panicked.

He began to apologize to Yuan Ying, saying that he shouldn’t have betrayed her, shouldn’t have tried to force her, and so on.

Yuan Ying completely ignored him and just said to Si Hongjing:

“I’ve called the police, don’t worry, it’s okay.”

Si Hongjing moved the dagger away.

He could guess that it was probably similar to reporting to the authorities.

Xu Nianyu wanted to run out immediately, but Si Hongjing kicked him back hard.

He fell to the ground in a mess, clutching his stomach:

“Yuan Ying, what good will it do you if the police come?”

“Making you pay the price is the benefit.”

“I won’t do it again in the future, just let me go,” he said.

Yuan Ying ignored him.

Until someone knocked on the door, she saw that it was the police through the peephole, and then said to Si Hongjing, “I’ll go to the police station first.”

“Won’t you be in danger?”

“No.”

Si Hongjing nodded and opened the door from the bathroom to leave.

Seeing this, Yuan Ying opened the door and let the police in.

Several policemen were stunned when they saw Yuan Ying and Xu Nianyu’s faces, which they often saw on the screen.

“He broke into my residence and tried to do something indecent to me.” Yuan Ying said to the police, “I also need you to investigate why he knew my check-in information.”

Since Yuan Ying had said so, the police took the two back to take notes and accept the investigation.

But…

Xu Nianyu suddenly pointed to the bathroom door, as if he had found support when he saw the police, and was completely free of the fear he had just had, and said loudly:

“There’s someone else in there! He kicked me twice! I want to call the police, I want to sue him!”

The police looked at Yuan Ying suspiciously.

Yuan Ying calmly said, “He’s talking nonsense, he just couldn’t subdue me and felt ashamed.”

“I didn’t! He wanted to kill me!”

“He took a dagger and wanted to cut my throat!”

Xu Nianyu said firmly.

Hearing this, the police went to the bathroom door and knocked, asking the person inside to come out.

“You can go in and see directly, or check the surveillance, there are only the two of us in the room.” Yuan Ying said frankly.

Several policemen cautiously twisted the door open.

They saw that the closed bathroom was empty, and there was no trace of anyone’s existence.

They retreated with strange expressions, glanced at Xu Nianyu, and said:

“Are you sure you saw him come in? And didn’t leave?”

“I’m sure!” Xu Nianyu said without hesitation.

The police’s expression became even more complicated:

“Come with us.”
