There were many people to the side, and the space was narrow. Li Xuecheng didn't use his full strength. He only kicked Luo Nan hard enough to make him stagger, but Li Xuecheng himself nearly slipped and fell.
He had finally regained his balance and was about to rush forward again.
Luo Nan suddenly turned around at this time.
Strangely enough, when their eyes met, Li Xuecheng felt an inexplicable panic in his heart and unconsciously stopped walking.
Lian Yu had already calmed down. Li Xuecheng's actions had attracted everyone's attention.
Li Xuecheng's actions were obviously inappropriate, but Luo Nan wasn't a person of this circle. This group of rich kids had no obligation to mediate. Not to mention that there were quite a number of people who were still brooding over the can of "Destiny" in the Phantom flying car.
Even if there was a 9% chance that Xie Junping was the culprit, as long as there was a one-in-a-thousand or one-in-ten-thousand chance, they would still be able to shift their resentment onto Luo Nan.
Everyone looked on with cold eyes. Lian Yu, on the other hand, felt the attitude of the group of scoundrels in the circle. It was not good for her to step forward and intervene. With an ashen face, she angrily stood at the side.
Of course, Li Xuecheng knew the attitude of his companions. He really did have the heart to go up again. But he didn't know why—even though Luo Nan's face was ashen like a corpse and he looked like he could be blown over by the wind—Li Xuecheng was unable to take a single step when he looked directly into Luo Nan's eyes.
One or two seconds wasn't a problem, but three, four, five, six, seven seconds had passed, and he still hadn't moved. This was a f*cking battle stance!
The surrounding scoundrels had obviously noticed something and were already laughing in low voices.
Li Xuecheng felt even more embarrassed. In the past, when it came to this kind of thing, there would naturally be bodyguards and attendants to take care of it. Who the f*ck knew that it would feel so uncomfortable when he had to handle it himself? He couldn't help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. He saw that Luo Nan's notebook was right under his feet, so he simply stomped down to vent his anger. He stomped right in the center of the notebook.
The thick book instantly caved in, and a faint cracking sound came from between the pages.
Across from him, Luo Nan was suddenly stupefied.
Li Xuecheng immediately understood when he saw Luo Nan's expression. His foot had truly stepped into Luo Nan's sore spot. Li Xuecheng immediately felt great pleasure. Even the earlier sense of cowardice dissipated quite a bit.
He added more force to his foot, grinding his heel in a circle on the notebook. At the same time, he drew out his voice, rising and falling rhythmically, like an aria:
"Ah, I'm sorry…"
Li Xuecheng's actions were actually very tasteless and degrading, but since they were on the same side, quite a few people around were laughing and jeering. As for how much was support and how much was mockery, it was up to the individual to decide.
Li Xuecheng's confidence grew with momentum. He raised his hand and pointed at Luo Nan: "Kid…"
His voice had just left his mouth when his throat suddenly choked up. This was because he saw Luo Nan walking toward him.
The entire cabin was no more than twenty square meters. After more than ten people were crammed in, it was already very crowded. The distance between two people was really just two steps.
Li Xuecheng's heart twitched inexplicably. At the same time, he met Luo Nan's eyes once more at close distance.
Luo Nan's appearance was very delicate and pretty, but his eyes weren't beautiful. At least, this was how Li Xuecheng saw it. Luo Nan's pupils were mottled, as if they were flowing with lustrous and dazzling colors. But in the end, they were controlled by a gloomy and cold tone.
Li Xuecheng inexplicably thought back to the strange collection he had seen in the private garden of a certain close friend:
A Mutant that was as bloodthirsty as it was alive.
This savage and ruthless beast was over five meters long. It was majestic like a mountain, and it was trapped behind layers upon layers of electrical nets. Its body was covered in cuts and bruises, but Li Xuecheng couldn't help but shudder when the beast's eyes stared straight at him.
Luo Nan's physique was naturally unable to compare with that enormous Mutant. But the problem was that there had been a glass wall harder than steel between Li Xuecheng and the vicious beast. There had also been high-voltage electrical nets and other lethal mechanisms on standby.
And now, there was nothing…
Nothing at all!
Li Xuecheng's heartbeat sped up, and his pupils dilated. He opened his mouth to shout, but even he himself didn't know what to shout. The problem was that he clearly opened his mouth, but not a single sound came out.
Not only that, but his tongue, throat, chest, and all the muscles in his body instantly stiffened. He felt like he was trapped in a nightmare. His consciousness was clear, but he couldn't get out no matter what.
He could only watch helplessly as Luo Nan walked forward. Luo Nan extended his arm, and his five fingers lightly clasped onto his throat…
It was really just a light touch, and he could not feel any strength. But at this moment, the air in his lungs was quickly sucked out, and his nostrils, mouth, and even pores all over his body were forcibly sealed, as if he were wrapped in a thick, airtight plastic film. His internal qi could not flow out, and neither could external qi enter. He could not even sweat.
His heartbeat increased rapidly, but the amount of oxygen in the blood he pumped out continued to drop. The terrifying feeling of suffocation was like an overflowing tide, slowly but surely filling his brain.
Li Xuecheng desperately wanted to open his mouth, to breathe, to beg for mercy. He used all the strength in his body, but only his eyeballs bulged, almost popping out of their sockets. The color of blood seeped through his vision bit by bit. His tear ducts were stimulated. He forced himself to cry, but he couldn't wash away the filthy color.
The only thoughts in his mind collapsed, and only the purest desire to survive remained. He was still struggling with great difficulty.
Save me! Save me! Someone save me!
Li Xuecheng himself did not know, but he was actually able to make some sounds. It was the kind of sound produced when the muscles in his throat were stiff—a sharp, strained noise squeezed out of his throat, a sound that could die at any moment:
"Wuwu, wuwu…"
At the same time, his face turned from white to red, from red to purple, from purple to black. His eyeballs had already bulged out by nearly a centimeter, revealing large amounts of the whites of his eyes. It was as if his blood and energy would explode in the next moment.
Each and every one of the rich kids in the cabin were stupefied on the spot.
They were unable to understand the pain Li Xuecheng was facing. They only saw Luo Nan walk over, extend his hand, and choke Li Xuecheng's neck. Li Xuecheng was completely terrified. He didn't resist in the slightest. Luo Nan looked weak and delicate, but the strength of his hand was terrifying. The current Li Xuecheng looked like he could go into shock from suffocation at any moment. He might even die on the spot!
No one knew why Li Xuecheng was such a coward. But Luo Nan's ferocious strength was even more frightening. At this very moment, everyone believed that Luo Nan was really going to strangle Li Xuecheng to death.
There were also some people who were clear-headed. They felt that Luo Nan's body movements had a sort of indescribable awkwardness. It was as if he was exerting strength, yet not exerting strength. It was completely out of step with Li Xuecheng's pain, making the entire situation extremely uncoordinated.
But this wasn't the most important thing. What truly made people's scalps go numb was Luo Nan's face.
Yes—look at his face. Luo Nan's face was originally pale and gray like a corpse. But right now, there was a drunken red glow spreading and piling up… Excitement, right? Excitement, right?
This scene was like an incorporeal whip lashing at the hearts of the surrounding people. Regardless of physical sensation, their hearts twitched:
Damn pervert! Homicidal maniac! He hid it so deeply…
"What are you standing around for! Hold him back!"
Lian Yu's sharp voice tore through the almost suffocating fear. She was the first to react. She disregarded everything and charged toward the rigid figures in front of her.
The people in front couldn't maintain their balance, especially the one at the very front. Before anyone could react, the sudden surge of bodies pushed them forward. One coward even let out a blood-curdling scream.
But no matter how unwilling they were, the crowding and chaos forced seven or eight people forward together. The combined weight crashed into Luo Nan. Even though he didn't use full strength, the impact made him stagger. His hand slipped from Li Xuecheng's throat.
This scene gave many people courage. Someone in the front row screamed "Ahhh!" closed their eyes, and rushed forward with a bear hug. One led to another. Under herd mentality, a large portion of people surged forward. The cabin descended into chaos.
Luo Nan was pushed away in the chaos, while Li Xuecheng fell heavily to the ground. He had already lost consciousness. Traces of extreme fear still remained on his face.
Things had gotten out of hand!
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" A sharp alarm rang out. The armed mechanical soldiers that had been stationed outside were instantly activated. They turned and pointed their anti-riot guns at the chaotic crowd.
