Although the number of people was somewhat small, and most of them were female fans, she still managed to give them a touched expression.
Huo Miao thought to herself, Even though I’m wearing a mask right now, everyone must be able to see how moved I am.
She couldn’t help but leave Mu Mingxuan behind and quickly walked over.
Jiang Ning also heard someone calling Huo Miao’s name; her gaze fell on the group of young people, and she reached out to grab Qi Xingzhou beside her, "Wait, don’t rush."
For some reason, she felt that the look in those people’s eyes when they saw Huo Miao was a bit strange; although they were holding flowers, they didn’t seem like they were here to pick her up.
Jiang Ning’s sharp intuition made her stop in her tracks.
As soon as Huo Miao approached, those who had been waiting in the airport for over an hour, eyeing her intently, immediately swarmed forward:
"Huo Miao, can you tell me how you manage to be both green and tea?"
"Huo Miao, I’ve liked you for two whole years! I’ve been cursing at Jiang Ning for a full year for you! I believed everything you said before; do you think we’re fools, that it’s fun?"
"After waiting for two hours, it’s not too much to slap you twice, right?"
Everyone pushed and shoved Huo Miao, demanding an explanation.
From the moment she heard the first sentence, Huo Miao sensed something was off.
These weren’t her fans!
These were her former fans who had un-fanned and were retaliating!
They somehow knew her flight information and had deliberately laid in wait for her here!
Once Huo Miao realized what was happening, her expression changed and she turned to run.
But those little black fans who had waited here for two hours couldn’t just watch Huo Miao get away; they each reached out a hand and effortlessly caught her.
The crowd surrounded Huo Miao, questioning her, and after one person finished talking, they really slapped Huo Miao twice!
"Madness! You’re all mad! Call the police! We have to call the police!"
Huo Miao’s cries for help were shrill, "Mingxuan Bro! Save me!!!"
The verbal attacks and physical pushing towards Huo Miao by everyone were but the work of a moment; it all happened so swiftly that many people didn’t even react before Huo Miao was surrounded, having her hair pulled and being slapped. With the first person initiating, the second and third followed, unsurprisingly... Huo Miao screamed miserably.
A moment later, Mu Mingxuan, startled, dropped his luggage and went to rescue Huo Miao.
The scene was utterly chaotic, with travelers who were trying to leave dodging backward to avoid the fray.
Not only did all of the airport security guards rush over here, but Jiang Ning’s mind also rang with a system notification:
[Ding! An emergency mission detected, a group assault incident at Capital City Airport. Please, Host, separate the assailants and the victims as soon as possible to assist the security in maintaining order at the airport, reward: 10 hours of life value.]
Jiang Ning stood still as if nailed to the spot, for the first time ignoring the system’s task.
What assailants and victims?
In front of her, there was only a group of star-chasing people who had been betrayed, kindly discussing the friction of human skin with ancient methods passed down by their ancestors.
Jiang Ning didn’t budge an inch.
Having been harassed by Huo Miao’s fans for an entire year, no one knew better than Jiang Ning how unreasonable Huo Miao’s fans could be. Now that she had finally seen a dog-eat-dog spectacle, the system actually expected her to lift a finger to save someone?
A joke, she continued to watch the drama unfold.
Jiang Ning refused the task without a hint of hesitation.
The System, seeing her immobile, couldn’t help but whine: [Whimper, Host, why won’t you do the mission?]
Jiang Ning: "Shut up, or I’ll block you."
This was a new feature of the System interface Jiang Ning had stumbled upon while idling on the airplane.
The System had hidden it discreetly, even using a light grey font cunningly.
So Jiang Ning had never noticed it before.
All over, the Host turned the tables and sang her song; the System stayed crying.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the airport security guards had already arrived, subdued the riotous little black fans, and managed to control the chaotic scene.
Huo Miao was crying terribly, her hair was a mess like a bird’s nest, her mask had been torn off, and she had several red slap marks on her face. Her cheeks and neck had additional scratches from fingernails; she was in utter despair, crying in Mu Mingxuan’s embrace.
Mu Mingxuan’s expression was dark and ugly beyond words; he felt that ever since he participated in "Survive for 30 Days," he has experienced nothing but frustration, without a single good thing happening!
Mu Mingxuan, with one arm around Huo Miao in his embrace, pointed angrily at those who had just caused the commotion and assaulted Huo Miao, speaking furiously to the airport security guards, "Call the police! Take them all to the station! Their behavior is provocation and intentional injury! I won’t let off anyone who hurt Miaomiao!"
