Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Sudden Change

When the unknown liquid was splashed, no one reacted in time.

Su Lu also didn’t react. She just stood there dumbfounded, never expecting such an incident, but she recognized the man. He was the one she had seen at a nearby table at the food stall a few days ago.

She had seen him earlier in the venue, thought she was mistaken, and even mentioned it briefly to Jiang Li. It turned out she wasn’t mistaken; it was indeed him.

However, she couldn’t have imagined that this man would do such a thing, so when she saw him striding towards them as they were leaving the venue, she didn’t think much of it.

Not just Su Lu, but everyone didn’t think much of it, because this was a venue, and they were, after all, e-sports celebrities—fans coming up for autographs and photos wasn’t rare.

So, when the incident happened, everyone was somewhat unable to react.

Su Lu and Jiang Li were walking in the front, Bo Jingshen was slightly behind, but almost shoulder-to-shoulder with Su Lu.

When the man approached them, Su Lu was turning her head to speak with Jiang Li and didn’t realize what was about to happen.

Then she heard Bo Jingshen’s breath suddenly tighten. His voice was low and a bit frantic, and when he called her by name, it was even trembling, "Su Xiaolu!"

Following that call, she was abruptly grabbed by the shoulders by Bo Jingshen, who moved very quickly. With a turn, he swapped their positions, his back facing the direction of the man, firmly protecting Su Lu in his arms.

Su Lu had very sensitive ears, with excellent hearing.

But at that moment, she somewhat wished her hearing wasn’t so good because she heard a very terrifying sound.

It was a kind of... flesh-corroding sound that was horrific just by listening to it.

Then she heard a heavy, suppressed groan, because he was holding her tightly, her ear was almost pressed against his chest, and she could hear that painful sound resonating painfully within his chest cavity.

Su Lu felt a tightening in her heart, and her tongue felt somewhat numb.

"What... what happened?" Jiang Li’s voice was a bit frantic.

His situation was almost the same as Su Lu’s, except Bo Jingshen was holding Su Lu tightly in his arms.

And Jiang Li had just been turned around by Ying Xi, who held his shoulders, but like Bo Jingshen, Ying Xi also used his back to shield Jiang Li from the man.

Screams erupted around them.

"Ah... Ah!"

"Is he insane?"

"Where is security? Why isn’t there any security?"

"Oh my god! God Xi! Bao Jing! How could this happen!"

Then Su Lu and Jiang Li both heard what sounded like an announcement from hell.

"Someone threw acid! Call the police! Call an ambulance!"

Su Lu had heard that terrible corroding sound and, despite not wanting to, she had almost guessed the horrifying possibility.

And Jiang Li was completely unaware, not knowing at all what had happened, just looking at Ying Xi’s face which was already pale, now even more so, bloodless, which made Jiang Li worry. He instinctively guessed that something bad must have happened, but didn’t dare speculate on what it might be.

And his mind was somewhat dazed.

Until that statement heavily struck Jiang Li’s heart, his face suddenly turned deathly pale, almost matching Ying Xi’s shade.

"Xiao Xi!" Jiang Li immediately supported Ying Xi.

"Uh!" Ying Xi staggered forward, barely able to stand, as he collapsed onto him; his breathing was disordered and rapid by his ear, and suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Jiang Li firmly supported him, "Xiao Xi... Xiao Xi! Call an ambulance! Hurry, call an ambulance!"

"Catch that guy! Don’t let him get away!" The Fierce Eagle Team members also reacted immediately, even though they had been trailing behind, chatting and laughing.

They hadn’t quite grasped this sudden turn of events, but now they were all shocked.

When they came to their senses, anger ensued, immense anger.

"Damn! Fuck you! Stand still!" One teammate immediately leaped up and charged.

Other teammates charged as well, no longer caring that they were at the venue entrance, in front of so many fans, that it might look bad, or even provoke the league’s red line—after all, a brawl involving current players was a big deal.

They caught up with the man and knocked him down, then they didn’t hold back in beating him up, with curses ringing out constantly. They couldn’t care less about all the watching fans.

But the fans were quite angry too, especially seeing Ying Xi barely able to stand; they practically wanted to step in and lay hands themselves.

And Su Lu, she also held Bao Jing tightly, fearing he might falter, but her hands were shaking badly.

When she first heard the noise, her mind was blank, not knowing what to do; she even wasn’t sure how to position her limbs.

But Bao Jing barely put any weight on her at all. Su Lu looked up to see his jawline tense and his lips tightly sealed.

She heard his restrained, trembling breath in pain.

"It’s okay," Bo Jingshen said.

"It’s not okay, not okay at all," Su Lu’s eyes grew hot, as a swell of emotion threatened to burst out. Jiang Li was absolutely right—this man never took his own body seriously.

"It’s okay... it’s okay," Bo Jingshen repeated twice, not sure if he was trying to reassure Su Lu or to numb himself.

Then he stood upright, and Su Lu finally saw his pale face.

"Let me... let me check." Su Lu wanted to assess the injuries on his back, but Bo Jingshen firmly grasped her shoulders, his voice slightly shaky, imperceptibly so, requiring immense willpower to maintain composure.

"There’s nothing to see, it’s... not good. Stop looking, it’s okay," Bo Jingshen said, holding onto her shoulders, preventing her from seeing the injuries on his back.

Then he turned his head towards the Fierce Eagle Team members who were still beating the assailant.

Bo Jingshen shouted, "Stop hitting him, come here."

Fortunately, though the team members were angry, they still had basic sense. After they had subdued the man, they rushed over.

"Ying Xi!" One team member rushed to help Jiang Li support Ying Xi.

Others wanted to support Bo Jingshen, but he shook his head, "No need, no need to support me. Take her to the side, I need to make a call."

The team members obeyed quickly and supported Su Lu.

Su Lu was about to say that she was fine and didn’t need support.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Bo Jingshen released his grip on her shoulders, she realized that her legs were quite weak.

The team member helped her to the side and asked two female fans to help, explaining that she was part of the team staff, and requested their assistance.

Bo Jingshen watched as Su Lu was settled, then walked aside to make a phone call.
