Chengwu felt his world spin…

”Dad—” Xia Zhi screamed as he ran to catch Chengwu before he fell.

Chengwu had a sickly pallor and his eyes were fluttering.

Xinghe caught up to them and ordered, ”Xia Zhi, call the ambulance.”

”Okay” Xia Zhi said with a shaking voice. As he pulled out his phone to call the hospital, Xinghe tried her best to resuscitate Chengwu.

She had no first aid knowledge but she carried Chengwu over to the sofa, laid him down flat in the hopes of easing his breaths.

The landlord and gathered crowd were shocked by the sudden turn of events.

The crowd slowly dispersed afraid that they would be roped into a nasty situation if anything serious was to befall Chengwu.

”This has nothing to do with me, I barely touched him. He fainted on his own,” the landlord said hurriedly as he made to leave.

Xinghe lifted her head and shot him a withering glance. It stopped him in his tracks.

The startled landlord said, ”Told you I had nothing to do with it, I won’t let you pin it on me!”

”If you leave now, I swear I will use every ounce of my energy to take you to court. Leave if you dare,” Xinghe said with a smile. Her tone was eerily friendly considering her threat.

The landlord wanted to argue some more but Xinghe had already turned her head away.

Flustered, he stood right there, heeding her warning…

After the ambulance came and Chengwu was carried away on a stretcher, Xinghe took deliberate steps towards the landlord.

Sizing up the small and thin woman before him, the landlord inexplicably heard his inner voice telling him that this woman was not to be crossed.

Then, he started to have second thoughts. He was physically so much stronger than her that he could possibly strangle her with just one hand, so why was he so afraid of her?
