Chapter 129 - 126 Who is the Beloved?
The gaunt man seized the opportunity and extended the killer’s hand. His body lunged forward, a pitch-black dagger protruding from his sleeve, its sharp edge aimed straight at Chu Mengyao’s abdomen.
The workers couldn’t see this scene. They only saw someone rushing towards Chu Mengyao.
Chu Mengyao saw the sharp blade coming at her like a bolt of lightning, her heart instantly trembled.
She had no time to think, and no time to react. The sudden attempt on her life caught her completely off guard.
The gaunt man’s expression twisted, revealing a bloodthirsty glint.
Just as the dagger in the gaunt man’s hand was about to stab into Chu Mengyao’s body.
"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed.
All of a sudden, the gaunt man’s body flew sideways, accompanied by a wail, rolling far across the ground.
The gaunt man’s face was filled with pain, his head buzzing. He had no idea what happened. He was so close to succeeding, but at that moment, he was struck by a lightning-fast blow, unable to even glimpse the person who intervened before fainting with eyes rolled back.
The short dagger skittered across the ground, creating sparks and the crisp sound of metal.
