320 Crescent Bay (1/2)
By the looks of it, living the life of a celebrity was no easy task at all.
The thought instantly occurred to Xiao Luo as he watched the group of people clamoring outside their vehicle. A celebrity had to be wary of constantly being tailed by diehard fans and the paparazzi, as their lives were continually being pried upon. Being a celebrity was hard, and Xiao Luo wondered if they ever missed an ordinary person's life.
Luo Pingxiang rolled down the car window slightly and hollered at the crowd outside the car, ”You're all mistaken, this isn't Miss Su's car!”
She then proceeded to put the car in reverse gear to back away and then tried to go around the white van obstructing them.
But she had wholly underestimated this group of scalpers and fanatical sasaeng fans. Seeing that the black vehicle was about to negotiate around the white van, some people got behind it and prevented Luo Pingxiang from reversing. The crowd was swarming around and banging on the windows with their palms, screaming for Su Li to appear.
”Oh dear, we're done for, they won't let us leave!”
Luo Pingxiang was reeling from anxiety, and she quickly reached for her cell phone to make a call to the police. The situation was getting out of hand with these crazy fans acting with absolute disregard for their safety and preventing her from driving away.
And things began to take a turn for the worse, as a big man was now approaching their vehicle holding a hammer!
”Goddess Su, please let me have a look at you!”
As he screamed for his idol, he tried to smash a window with a wild swing of the hammer. This crazy sasaeng fan was consumed with having a glimpse of her and would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
”Aaahhhh!”
Luo Pingxiang screamed and trembled as she struggled to make the call to call the police. She was visibly terrified as this was the first time that she had encountered such a fanatical sasaeng fan, and it almost felt as terrifying as an encounter with a robber.
Suddenly, Xiao Luo pulled open the rear sliding door, and before anybody knew what was happening, a phantom-like figure had exited the black van and, in a flash, disabled the man holding the hammer. A nasty knife-hand chop came down hard against the side of his neck, and the man dropped to the ground, passing out without even making a sound.
Having dispatched of the man, Xiao Luo got behind another two men as swift as lightning and quickly knocked them down with another two well-aimed blows.
The last man blocking the rear had his sight obstructed, and all he heard were the door opening and grunts coming from the other side of the vehicle. And when he stepped from behind the van to take a look, he only saw a vicious fist flying right into his face. Xiao Luo punched him squarely on the chin, and as his eyes crossed slightly, he lost all control of his body and dropped to the ground.
The entire action did not take more than ten seconds!
Luo Pingxiang's jaw dropped, stunned by what she saw, and she hadn't even noticed that her phone had slipped from her hand. She turned her head and stared at Xiao Luo—she did not see precisely how it all happened, but she knew that in the blink of an eye, all four men were taken down.
”We should be able to leave now, I think.”
Luo Pingxiang nodded her head and repeated herself like a hen pecking at rice. ”Okay, okay, we can go, we can go…”
She quickly reversed the vehicle a little, then drove around the white van in front of her, and they were finally on their way out.
She was still in a state of shock, and she kept glancing at Xiao Luo from her rearview mirror from time to time. Who really was this man that she only knew as Mr. Xiao? How was it his martial arts techniques were so exceptional?
”Mr. Xiao, you must have practiced martial arts before, you're incredible!”
Xiao Luo laughed, ”Yes, I have.”
He really didn't know what else to say. To prevent anyone from finding out that the genius system had become one with him, he had to continually make up white lies.
”No wonder you're so good at fighting, you knocked down the scalpers and sasaeng fans in one go. With you by her side, my sister's safety can be guaranteed,” Luo Pingxiang said.
Her sister?
She was probably referring to Su Li!
Xiao Luo thought to himself, then he shook his head and said, ”You're mistaken, I'm not here to be her bodyguard.”
”I know that you're here to act as a father for Bei Bei,” Luo Pingxiang said, giggling.
