The attacker was none other than Zhang Cheng, who had been missing for two days.
He appeared suddenly, stabbing a knife towards Xu Qianli's chest, almost succeeding.
In that critical moment, Xu Qianli instinctively dodged; his chest was spared, but his arm sustained a deep cut.
Zhang Cheng's eyes were blood-red, his face twisted with ferocity. Missing with his first stab, he lunged forward with another.
"Xu Qianli, you scoundrel, go to hell!"
Xu Qianli reacted quickly, pushing Ge Pingping aside while ignoring the intense pain in his arm and kicking Zhang Cheng straight on.
The powerful kick sent Zhang Cheng flying backwards, his short knife clattering to the ground.
But Zhang Cheng was merciless; despite the severe pain, he scrambled to reclaim his knife.
Xu Qianli was faster, kicking the knife away and grappling with Zhang Cheng.
"People, come quickly! Murder! Zhang Cheng is here to kill…"
Ge Pingping finally reacted, screaming at the top of her lungs.
