Ji Xizhi was wearing high heels and a strap dress today, making her movements quite inconvenient.

Plus, she had just been immersed in her thesis and hadn’t expected anyone to attack at the red carpet event.

By the time she reacted, the wooden stick was already about to hit her shoulder.

Ji Xizhi swiftly dodged, narrowly avoiding the stick hitting her neck.

But the stick still struck her arm, causing her to loosen her grip, and her phone fell onto the lawn.

Ji Xizhi didn’t retrieve it, taking advantage of the moment to retreat several steps.

When she retreated to a suitable distance and looked up, she finally saw the attacker who had been behind her.

The red carpet event was over, and all the lights outside had been turned off, leaving only the faint moonlight.

Ji Xizhi saw that the person was wearing a gray cleaning uniform, had a mask on the face, and was holding an upside-down mop stick, pointing it menacingly at her.

“You bitch! You ungrateful bitch! If only I had strangled you when you were little!”

The sound of his voice had just come out.

And Ji Xizhi could already recognize it.

“Ji Yezong?”

“What are you doing here?”

The Red Carpet Night invited many artists, and to ensure security, the organizers screened everyone who could enter the event.

Though they couldn’t fully guarantee if they had inadvertently chosen an artist’s fan or paparazzi.

But…

The confrontation between Ji Yezong and Ji Xizhi had caused such a stir before that almost the entire entertainment circle knew about it.

Since the organizers invited Ji Xizhi, it was implausible that they would let Ji Yezong, who had legal disputes with her, enter so obviously.

Isn’t this just asking for trouble?

Ji Xizhi looked at Ji Yezong, who was teetering on the brink of madness.

She guessed internally that Ji Yezong must have found a way to sneak in!

Her eyes fixed on Ji Yezong, her feet already tensing.

“How did I get here? Of course, I came for you! Now you know fear? Weren’t you quite formidable last time?”

Ji Yezong swung the broomstick heavily in the air several times.

The stick sliced through the air, making a swishing sound.

Ji Yezong looked at Ji Xizhi’s nervous appearance and burst into laughter.

When he first returned to the country to find Ji Xizhi, she dared to confront him relying on her impressive skills.

Today he, as the older brother, must discipline his sister properly.

Ji Yezong advanced step by step with the stick in hand.

“My dear sister has grown up and dares to argue with her brother on shows, even defying the family!” Ji Yezong’s voice oozed malice, with every uttered word more venomous than the last, “Once I break your arms and legs and knock out all your teeth, let’s see how you still appear in court!”

Listening to Ji Yezong’s words, Ji Xizhi’s eyes grew colder.

“Ji Yezong, are you planning to continue your criminal activities?”

Ji Yezong chuckled, completely unfazed by Ji Xizhi’s words, “Criminal? What crime? Punishing my own sister isn’t a crime!”

“And I’ve already booked the boat tickets. Tomorrow night, your brother will take you abroad, and I assure you no one will find you!”

Upon hearing about the boat tickets, Ji Xizhi confirmed her suspicions.

No legal threat could scare Ji Yezong anymore; he had lost the fundamental baseline of humanity, clearly not normal.

Ji Yezong kept waving the mop in his hand.

Ji Xizhi, unarmed, dressed in a long gown, was at a disadvantage for a frontal confrontation, risking injury. She retreated toward the corner of the fence on the edge of the lawn.

Ji Yezong followed Ji Xizhi’s steps, closing in step by step.

Seeing that she had retreated to the fence, Ji Yezong swung the mop stick even more forcefully.

“There’s nowhere for you to retreat, it’s too late, you’re unlikely to find anyone to save you!”

As Ji Yezong spoke.

Ji Xizhi, hands behind her, forcefully tore down the decorative vines from the wall.

But before she could strike back.

A male voice suddenly emerged behind Ji Yezong.

“Stop!!!”

The male voice carried a stern reprimand.

Ji Yezong looked up to see the face of the man full of rage.

This was a face Ji Xizhi hadn’t expected.

The face she hadn’t seen since the end of the first episode recording of “Life Experience”.

The novel’s male lead, Ji Fengyuan.

Ji Fengyuan’s sudden shout indeed startled Ji Yezong, making him pause in the act of swinging at Ji Xizhi, and he turned to look.

Seeing Ji Fengyuan, Ji Yezong’s face showed a hint of nervousness, but he quickly raised his weapon again.

Positioned defensively against both Ji Xizhi and Ji Fengyuan.

Ji Yezong moved aside, leaving Ji Xizhi and Ji Fengyuan practically facing one another.

Neither of them were masked.

At this distance, Ji Xizhi could clearly see Ji Fengyuan’s face.

If Ji Fengyuan wasn’t blind or had any mental issues, he should recognize her identity as well.

Moreover, given the past grievances between her and Ji Fengyuan, he hardly seemed the type to rescue her.

Yet Ji Fengyuan didn’t leave; he even stepped closer toward Ji Xizhi.

He continued to angrily shout at Ji Yezong: “Let her go!!!”

Ji Xizhi: “?”

For a moment, she wondered whether Ji Fengyuan’s words were directed at her.

But before she could think further.

Ji Fengyuan had already walked over to her, standing by her side.

Ji Fengyuan: “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you!”

Ji Xizhi: “???”

She coughed lightly twice, trying to speak in a calm voice: “Thanks, but no need, I can handle it.”

Ji Xizhi’s hand still tightly grasped the vine.

She intended to approach and tackle Ji Yezong.

But Ji Fengyuan blocked her with a big hand, shielding her behind.

Ji Yezong looked at Ji Fengyuan protecting Ji Xizhi and laughed: “Playing hero to save the beauty, huh!”

“Today I’ll show you what heroism really is!”

Ji Yezong was entirely unfazed by Ji Fengyuan, swinging his weapon wildly toward him.

Ji Fengyuan didn’t expect Ji Yezong to be so rash; he quickly dodged and got entangled with Ji Yezong.

Ji Fengyuan, who maintained regular workouts, found it not particularly difficult to avoid Ji Yezong’s chaotic swings.

But as he kept dodging, he glanced at Ji Xizhi behind him, recalling the voice in his mind.

He charged forward once more.

This time, Ji Yezong’s stick hit his back hard.

Then it struck his arms, his legs too were hit.

Ji Yezong, already emotionally unstable, didn’t hold back when hitting Ji Fengyuan.

Though a stick isn’t a knife, it’s painful to be struck by it.

Ji Fengyuan took a few hits voluntarily, circling back to Ji Xizhi’s side, hissing in pain.

Watching Ji Fengyuan fail to subdue Ji Yezong after such a long time and even get beaten like this, Ji Xizhi felt…

Ji Xizhi: “…”

The lawn’s edge was too dark, so Ji Fengyuan couldn’t clearly see Ji Xizhi’s expression now, but he reckoned the situation wasn’t favorable.

Ji Fengyuan planned to stop dodging Ji Yezong and take him down.

Suddenly, a high heel flew over with great force, spinning a few times in the air before striking Ji Yezong’s forehead.

The impact was so strong it knocked Ji Yezong backward onto the ground.
