Chapter 1168: 805 After the Rain Comes Fair Weather (Extra Chapter ×1)

The fine rain that had been falling all night finally began to ease up in the morning.

The air was filled with the scent of dampness.

"Yun Xi, you should head back to the mainland first."

Yang Ni came to Pei Yunxi’s room, where the two actresses stood side by side in front of the window.

"What about you?"

Pei Yunxi asked.

She certainly understood that the other had good intentions.

"Wei Dongxu finally made a compromise, so I need to visit Nannan."

Having said that, Yang Ni turned her head and smiled, "Also, the one who hit Mr. Xiang wasn’t me."

Times have indeed changed.

Xiang Yonghua did not have an outburst last night either.

But no matter what, it is always best to err on the side of caution.

Leaving Gangcheng would be the safest option.

"I will go back after seeing Nannan,"

Yang Ni added, reassuring the other not to worry about herself.

Pei Yunxi nodded, "Then I’ll see you in East Sea, Sister Yang Ni."

Indeed.

Wei Dongxu had already signed the agreement.

Yang Ni’s goal had been achieved.

There was no longer any reason for her to stay.

"See you in East Sea."

Yang Ni nodded with a smile and then left the hotel.

Pei Yunxi asked Annabelle to book the tickets.

Although sometimes she didn’t listen to instructions, her orders still carried weight in minor matters.

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

After the rain comes the sunshine.

The sun breaks through the clouds, and the gloom is scattered away.

Pei Yunxi, wearing sunglasses, stepped out of the Peninsula Hotel with Annabelle by her side, ready to head for the airport.

The hotel’s car pulled up and gradually came to a stop.

The driver got out quickly and opened the door.

Pei Yunxi, still stunning even in sunglasses, took a step forward, while Annabelle followed a step behind.

Just at that moment.

A black man who seemed to be entering the hotel suddenly pulled a glass bottle from his pocket.

Wearing a knitted hat, he moved quickly, holding the glass bottle and suddenly rushing towards Pei Yunxi.

The distance between the two was only about ten meters, and the incident happened so suddenly that Pei Yunxi hadn’t even noticed it yet.

But her bodyguard was worth the exorbitant salary.

Caught off guard, Pei Yunxi felt her wrist grabbed, followed by a pulling force that made her stagger uncontrollably backward.

In her loss of balance, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye of a black man charging at her, his raised arm, and the glass bottle in his hand.

The glass bottle filled with an unknown liquid shook violently.

Before Pei Yunxi could regain her footing, Annabelle twisted her waist on the spot, her long legs rotating to trace a full, explosive arc mid-air, and slammed hard into the black man’s cheek.

If time were slowed down, one could see the man’s face distort and a few teeth mixed with blood flying out of his mouth before he was thrown uncontrollably away.

The glass bottle he was about to throw still slipped from his hand, "Bang!" it struck the door of the Rolls Royce.

The glass shattered instantly.

The liquid inside splashed out.

"Sizzling..."

The harrowing sound of corrosion rose rapidly.

Smoke began to emit from the spots on the car where the liquid had landed.

Sulfuric acid!

The bottle was filled with sulfuric acid!!!

In addition to the costly damage to the Rolls Royce, the driver standing by the door also suffered an undeserved calamity.

A few drops of sulfuric acid splashed onto his skin.

If iron can’t withstand it, how much less can mere flesh and blood.

"Ah!!!!"

Excruciating pain twisted the once composed driver’s expression into a grotesque mask as he clutched at his neck, shrieking hysterically—a sound utterly inhuman.

The malicious black man had fallen outside the hotel, his hat flying off to reveal a completely bald head devoid of any hair.

Annabelle did not pursue but stayed by Pei Yunxi’s side, her cold, radar-like gaze swiftly scanning the surroundings.

Although protective duties might only be a secondary occupation for her, she knew that the security of the target was always the top priority.

There was no guarantee that there was only one assailant, so the safest measure was to remain by the target’s side.

The driver’s screams quickly alarmed the hotel.

People entering and leaving were all stunned.

Security personnel rushed out immediately.

In the chaos, the black man, enduring the pain, grabbed his hat and scrambled up from the ground, fleeing as fast as his feet could carry him.

One had to admit.

The physical conditioning of the black man was indeed remarkable; an ordinary person in his place wouldn’t have been able to run, and might even struggle to catch their breath for a while.

By the time the hotel security reacted and attempted to apprehend the perpetrator, the spot was already empty save for some scattered blood and a few teeth on the ground.

"Miss Pei, are you alright?"

The manager of the Peninsula Hotel rushed over upon hearing the news, his heart skipping a beat and breaking out in a cold sweat at the thought of Pei Yunxi being splashed with acid.

Given Pei Yunxi’s current international fame and influence, if an accident occurred at their hotel, he dared not even contemplate the disastrous consequences that would follow.

Losing his job was the least of his worries.

The century-old reputation of the Peninsula Hotel could potentially suffer a devastating blow!

The Peninsula Hotel, true to its reputation as a seasoned international establishment, knew how to prioritize and respond to emergencies; the security staff immediately formed a human wall, securely encircling Pei Yunxi.

The anxious manager pushed past the security, too flustered to catch his breath and with his heart in his throat, he hurriedly inspected the international superstar from the East from head to toe, then couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately amidst the misfortune.

It seemed she was not injured.

However, the manager was still uneasy and urgently shouted, "Quick, take Miss Pei to the hospital!"

"No need."

The incident had happened so suddenly that Pei Yunxi was also a bit stunned, but when she came to her senses, her brow furrowed unconsciously.

She had already faced danger before.

Once in Paris, she was attacked by a gunman, nearly losing her life.

This time it was only acid, not as severe as the last, but one must know that for a woman—and not just a celebrity—appearance is perhaps as important as life itself.

Suppressing the shock and anger inside, Pei Yunxi turned toward the agonized, contorted face of the driver, showing the highest degree of composure.

"Take him to the hospital first."

"Oh, yes! Take him to the hospital quickly!"

"Everyone stop gawking..."

The hotel staff began to maintain order, dispersing the onlookers.

And at the same time, they called to report the crime.

Pei Yunxi, who had always been under strict protection, looked towards the blonde woman who had stayed by her side all this time.

"Thank you."

If not for her, the outcome just now would have been unimaginable.

Although they had known each other for a long time and were in constant company, the woman remained as indifferent as ever.

Perhaps because it was just a job, there was no hint of seeking credit.

"The target of the attack does not seem to have been you."

Annabelle’s tone carried no emotional fluctuations, as if she were merely summarizing a report.

Pei Yunxi was already used to her style.

"What do you mean?"

"That bottle of acid was not aimed at you. Even if I had not intervened, it wouldn’t have reached you."

Pei Yunxi fell silent, her eyes turning towards the Rolls-Royce that had been corroded.

The injured driver had already been taken away.

This was a serious matter.

The Gangcheng police force responded quickly.

Sirens sounded.

Police cars were already speeding towards the scene.

Pei Yunxi remained calm.

"I probably won’t be able to leave today."
