The man staggered, almost falling over.
Sheng Tang suddenly realized that practicing Sanda still required bodily coordination. Her movements were noticeably a bit slow. To the average person, they might seem quick, but she knew they weren’t good enough.
She had to deal with three men.
Just then, there was a sudden blare of a loud horn.
Two people got out of the car opposite.
Gu Shiting was the first to rush over, striding quickly to Sheng Tang. He saw the man trying to grab her and lifted his foot, kicking him in the chest.
His movements were swift and proficient, using real Sanda techniques.
In just a few seconds, he had taken down the burly man.
"Tangtang!" He hurried over and embraced Sheng Tang, clearly frightened.
Sheng Tang felt him trembling.
Although the streetlights were on, the surroundings were still quite dark.
If Sheng Tang weren’t in danger, Gu Shiting would never have dared to get out of the car.
The other two men tried to escape but were taken down by Gu Shiting’s bodyguards.
Sheng Tang grabbed Gu Shiting: "Let’s go, get in the car first!"
They got into the car.
The driver glanced at his colleague and said, "Can you handle this?"
The bodyguard, tall and strong, had all three men writhing on the ground, unable to get up.
"Leave it to me. I’ve already called the police. You take the young master home first," the bodyguard said.
The driver drove away.
In the car, Sheng Tang turned on the interior light and held Gu Shiting’s hand tightly.
"It’s okay, I’m here," she said to him.
Gu Shiting was sweating profusely.
"Who... who are they?" He tried to distract himself by asking her.
Sheng Tang said, "I don’t know either. Let the police investigate, maybe they’ll find out."
Gu Shiting nodded, his forehead covered in fine sweat.
Sheng Tang simply stretched out her arms and hugged him, letting his head rest on her chest.
Gu Shiting’s trembling eased slightly.
Sheng Tang gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Those moves just now, were they Sanda? Have you learned it?"
"Yes, I have," Gu Shiting replied.
Sheng Tang smiled and said, "When winter break comes, I’ll visit your house. Have your coach teach me too, okay?"
"Okay!"
Traffic was heavy, and the driver wanted to drive fast but couldn’t move.
Sheng Tang gently stroked Gu Shiting’s face.
Feeling the softness of her palm, his mind started to relax a bit.
He trembled less intensely: "Tangtang..."
"Don’t be afraid, I will protect you," he said.
Sheng Tang nodded: "I’m not scared!"
After a long time stuck in traffic, they finally arrived at the Gu Family Villa.
Gu Shiting and Sheng Tang got out of the car.
Today, the master and mistress of the Gu family were not home, and the eldest daughter had gone out of town to promote a new movie.
Song Chen hurriedly brought over a blanket and some medicine.
Gu Shiting unexpectedly waved his hand: "I, I just want to sit for a while..."
He didn’t think it was that serious.
Usually, he would pass out in the dark, a feeling different from today’s.
Today he was just a bit dizzy.
He sat on the sofa, still holding Sheng Tang’s hand, listening to her talking to him, his mind gradually clearing up.
Half an hour later, the dizziness faded, though he was a bit tired.
Song Chen was surprised to see him sitting up: "Young master, how do you feel?"
"Still thirsty," he said.
Song Chen handed him another glass of water.
Gu Shiting drank it in one gulp.
He let out a breath and said to Sheng Tang and Song Chen: "I can hear the sounds clearly now."
Whenever he fell ill, he would experience dizziness, sweating, tinnitus, and palpitations.
Just now in the car, listening to Sheng Tang talk, it always felt like there was a barrier. Now, he could hear her clearly.
