When the villa door swung open with a clang, the sunlight dispelled the darkness in the living room. Tang Li squinted her eyes, and behind her, Mr. Ying was already shouting, "Save me! Please save me!"
Playing the male lead Luo Fan, Guan Xiao held a Type 64 pistol, wore a white shirt covered by a black bulletproof vest, and had transparent throat-vibration air-conducting headphones on. His sharp yet calm eyes added a tough look to his handsome features.
The camera slowly zoomed in on its track.
The girl’s delicate face showed no sign of panic. She stood up supporting her knees, not looking at the approaching detectives again, and directly threw the fruit knife onto the floor.
The knife hit the floor with a dull sound.
The detectives slowed their pace, not daring to take her lightly even though she was a young girl.
Yet, the girl revealed a slight smile, pure and naive, as if the guns aimed at her were merely toy guns. She turned around and sat on the sofa, took some tissues, and started wiping the blood stains between her fingertips. Compared to Mr. Ying’s panic, her expression was almost eerily calm.
"Quick, arrest her!" Mr. Ying, clutching his wounded leg and pointing at his daughter with the other hand, exclaimed, "She’s a murderer, don’t let her get away!"
Hearing this, Luo Fan’s gaze returned to the girl.
Throwing the balled-up tissue into the trash bin, Ying Xuaner propped herself up on the sofa, her beautiful eyes looking at Mr. Ying as she sarcastically curled her lips, "Dad stabbed his own leg, and I barely managed to wrestle the knife away from you. Now that the police have arrived, you’re framing me for murder. What a great father you are."
"She’s lying!" Mr. Ying’s face turned pale as he urgently explained to the detectives present, "Don’t believe what she says! She killed my wife and daughter, and now she wants to kill me. She’s a devil, a cold-blooded murderer!"
Luo Fan gave a look to the detectives nearby.
The detective understood and immediately holstered his pistol, stepped forward briskly, and dragged Mr. Ying to a safe area.
In a moment, Ying Xuaner was surrounded by detectives.
She looked composed, even looking up at Luo Fan and asking, "Captain Luo, last time you came to my house, it was to take my statement. This time... with guns drawn, are you planning to shoot me directly?"
"Ying Xuaner." Luo Fan called her name.
Tang Li smiled slightly, still locking eyes with Luo Fan, "Captain Luo, I’m here."
If it weren’t for the solid evidence already in hand, it would be hard to believe that such a girl with innocent eyes could have blood on her hands from two lives.
If they hadn’t arrived in time, she would have killed her own father a moment ago.
Director Fan, holding a walkie-talkie and sitting behind the monitor, stared at the screen without blinking until his shoulder was gently touched.
Turning his head, he was surprised to find Ruan Jiang.
Ruan Jiang also looked at the monitor screen.
On the screen, Tang Li had stopped in front of Guan Xiao, she reached out with clenched fists, looking interestedly at Guan Xiao, "Captain Luo, are you going to handcuff me?"
Watching Tang Li , Guan Xiao was momentarily distracted.
Even though he was no longer a novice actor, he was still captivated in that instant.
Having lost her mother at a young age, constantly mistreated by her father and stepmother, and her half-sister wanting to kill her, anyone would reach their emotional breaking point.
At this moment, Director Fan shouted, "Cut!"
"Guan Xiao, what’s the matter with you! Why aren’t you picking up your lines? You’re not supposed to be a wooden post, don’t just stand there without moving!"
