Li Rui nodded in agreement.
Huang Weining continued, "This is actually the same as the construction process of all the famous schools in history. When many world-renowned universities were first established, they only had a very small campus, very few teachers and students, and one or two specializations. Today's scale was established after hundreds or even hundreds of years of accumulation. I hope you won't be impatient. This kind of thing can't be rushed. "
Li Rui hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry at all. I …"
Before he could finish, the melodious sound of the doorbell rang.
Yang Xiang hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. She waved to the two of them and said, "You two continue to talk about business. I'll go open the door."
Huang Weining and Li Rui didn't think much of it and continued to talk. Huang Weining said, "I have another idea about the big university that we will invest in. The first one or two majors can be connected to the industries that our Huang family operates. For example, trade, chemistry, etc. We can build it into a talent reserve base for the family group. The outstanding graduates can be directly arranged to work abroad. This way …"
Yang Xiang walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. She saw that there was no one outside and the doorbell had stopped ringing. She was a little puzzled, but she didn't open the door and turned back to the kitchen.
Huang Weining saw her return and asked casually, "Who is it?" Yang Xiang said, "No one. Maybe someone mistook the door and pressed the doorbell. Then he left after realizing that something was wrong."
Huang Weining replied with an "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Yang Xiang returned to the kitchen. Just as she picked up the cloth and was about to wipe the table, she heard the doorbell ring again. She was helpless and disgusted. She rolled her eyes and put down the cloth. Just as she was about to walk to the door, she suddenly thought of something and frowned. She took a fruit knife from the kitchen counter and held it in her right hand as she walked to the door.
Huang Weining and Li Rui were talking in the living room and didn't notice her little movements.
Yang Xiang came to the door and looked out through the peephole. There was still no one outside. She coughed and asked, "Who's outside?"
No one answered. It was as if no one existed.
Li Rui shouted at her, "Why don't you go out and take a look? If the naughty kid next door is being annoying, teach him a lesson."
Yang Xiang didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear anything. He leaned against the door and listened to the movements outside.
The doorbell stopped ringing, but a few seconds later, the doorbell rang again. Throughout the entire process, Yang Xiang, who was staring through the peephole, did not see anyone outside or any head, hands, or other body parts that were exposed.
When the doorbell rang for the third time, Yang Xiang's expression changed slightly. She turned around and tiptoed back to the living room. She said to Huang Weining and Li Rui, "Something's wrong. There's still only the doorbell but no one in sight. I felt that the person outside the door didn't have good intentions. Sister Weining, you'd better go upstairs immediately. Brother Li, you don't have to stay downstairs. Go upstairs with her. "
Li Rui was surprised and laughed. He stood up and said, "Xiang Xiang, aren't you being too sensitive and making a fuss over nothing? Isn't it just the doorbell ringing but no one outside? I already knew that it might be the naughty kid from the neighborhood causing trouble. If you don't believe me, open the door and take a look. Why are you making the atmosphere so tense? I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that you'll scare Weining. "
Yang Xiang ignored him and only asked Huang Weining, "Sister Weining, you've been living here for almost ten days. In these ten days, did any naughty kid come to cause trouble?"
Huang Weining shook her head repeatedly. Her pretty face suddenly showed a nervous and doubtful expression. She clearly understood Yang Xiang's unspoken words. If no naughty kid came to cause trouble in the past ten days, then in theory, there shouldn't be a naughty kid coming to cause trouble tonight.
Li Rui naturally understood this point. He was also a little nervous and frowned, "Even if it's not a naughty kid, it shouldn't be as dangerous as yours, right? You want me and Weining to hide? Is there a need? "
Yang Xiang sneered, "Ringing someone's doorbell in the middle of the night but not showing up. Do you think this person's intentions are good?" After saying this, the doorbell rang again. This was already the fourth wave.
Yang Xiang's face instantly turned cold, "Quick, Brother Li, take Sister Weining upstairs. Don't come down without my permission." After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Huang Weining and Li Rui looked at each other. Li Rui said, "There's no need, right? Even if the person standing outside isn't a good person, as long as we don't open the door, what can he do to us? "
Huang Weining nodded slightly in agreement. She got up and walked around the coffee table. She stood at a place where she could see the entrance hallway and watched Yang Xiang's actions. Li Rui walked to her side. He guarded her while watching the movements at the door.
Yang Xiang put all her attention on the door. She didn't know that the two of them didn't listen to her and went upstairs to hide. Instead, they stood at a place closer to the door which was more dangerous. She walked behind the door and grabbed the doorknob with her left hand. She shouted, "Who is it? Ringing …" When she said "ringing", her left hand suddenly twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open 40 degrees.
Not to mention how this sudden and unexpected push of the door would affect the person ringing the doorbell outside, Li Rui and Huang Weining who were standing in the room were shocked. Li Rui even shivered. This girl's actions were really unexpected. If he didn't have a heart, he might have been scared to death.
Yang Xiang turned around. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw a man wearing a baseball cap leaning against the wall on the right side of the door. The man's body was slanted in the direction of the door. He was leaning against the wall and cleverly avoided the peephole's field of vision. Therefore, Yang Xiang couldn't see him in the room.
He didn't expect Yang Xiang to suddenly open the door while they were talking. He thought that even if she opened the door, she would wait until the door was opened. Therefore, he was really shocked. He clearly saw Yang Xiang open the door, but his mind was a little muddled and he didn't come back to his senses. However, his reaction was very fast. He was stunned for a little more than a second before he immediately took out a black pistol from his pocket. He raised it and aimed at Yang Xiangxin's chest. Using stiff Mandarin, he said, "Don't shout, don't you dare... Ah!"
He only said the word "dare" when Yang Xiang's right hand had already reached out with the fruit knife. She slashed his right forearm that was holding the gun in mid-air. The man was in so much pain that he screamed. The muzzle of the gun was naturally deflected and no longer posed a threat to Yang Xiang. In fact, his right forearm was cut to the bone by Yang Xiang's knife. It was so painful that he almost suffocated. It was difficult for him to even hold the gun, so how could he shoot at Yang Xiang?
Yang Xiang knew the power of her knife. Seeing that the man was seriously injured, she was overjoyed. She pushed the door open with her left hand and let go of the door handle to grab the gun in his hand. However, at that moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the left. It faced her and quickly pulled out the right hand that was in her pocket.
At that moment, Yang Xiang was like the most sensitive cheetah on the African grassland. She immediately felt an unknown great danger. Before her brain could react, all the muscles and tendons in her body had already tightened. All the pores were closed and sealed. Then, she made a tactical evasive action. She suddenly turned around and threw herself to the ground inside the door.
Just as she threw herself down, she heard a soft "pop" sound behind her. It sounded like the sound of a beer cap being opened. Then she felt a burning pain on the outside of her right shoulder. It seemed that she had been injured by a bullet.
Bullet? That's right, it was a bullet!
The soft "pop" sound just now, others might not be able to hear it, but Yang Xiang, who had experienced hundreds of battles, immediately recognized it. It was the unique sound of a gun with a silencer installed on it.
Not only did the man have a gun, but he also installed a silencer on the gun. This was enough to prove that he was not a good person!
Yang Xiang did not have time to think more. When she threw herself to the ground, she did a beautiful forward roll. In an instant, she moved more than two meters away. Then she did a side roll and moved one meter to the left. She took advantage of the momentum to turn over and threw the fruit knife at the black shadow at the door. Of course, she did not have Xu Da's flying knife skill, but her ability to throw short knives at short distances was not bad. Besides, even if she could not stab the man, she could at least force him to dodge. As long as he dodged, he would not have time to shoot, and she would have enough time to dodge.
While she was making a series of dazzling movements, the black shadow outside the door fired three shots in a row. However, only the first shot hit her right shoulder, and it was only a scratch. The other two missed. One hit the ground inside the door, and the other hit the wall. When the black shadow was about to fire the fourth shot, Yang Xiang's flying knife had already been thrown. He did not have time to shoot. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late. The knife pierced his right chest. Fortunately, the knife went from the bottom to the top. It did not go straight into his lung, but went up diagonally and pierced his shoulder. Although it did not hurt his vital parts, he was scared out of his wits. He did not dare to stand at the door anymore, and dodged to the wall beside the door.
In the living room, Li Rui and Huang Weining were limited by their position and angle. They could only see the second half of the fight between Yang Xiang and the two killers. Even so, they were already shocked out of their wits. Huang Weining's legs were sore and weak, and she could not move at all. Although Li Rui was experienced in fighting, he was also confused and did not know what to do when he suddenly encountered such a killing scene.
"Damn, why haven't you gone up yet? Quickly hide, there are killers! "
When Yang Xiang saw that the flying knife had hit its target, she got up and turned to go to her room to get her weapon. However, she suddenly found that Li Rui and Huang Weining were still standing in the living room and watching the show. She was angry and anxious. As she warned them, she quickly ran in front of the two and pushed Li Rui. She shouted, "Quickly, take Sister Weining upstairs to hide. I'll go back to my room to get my weapon. Once I get it, I'll meet up with you." After that, she rushed to her room on the first floor.
Li Rui seemed to wake up from a dream. He grabbed Huang Weining's small hand and shouted, "Quickly, go to the second floor and hide." Huang Weining sobbed, "My legs are numb and weak. I can't move at all."
