Ye Xiangtian was very close to Xu Niannian. When he heard footsteps in the corridor, he turned his head to look back immediately, not at all on guard against her.
Yet, to his surprise, Xu Niannian suddenly snatched his wooden gun. Xu Niannian herself hadn't expected it to be so easy to take it away.
At the critical moment, Xu Niannian didn't even think. She had already made a swift decision, and the wooden gun in her hand was immediately pressed against the back of Ye Xiangtian's head.
It was precisely then that Jin Yu finally rushed up from the corridor, panting heavily. The concealed Nuo Heng also sprang into action.
"Don't move!"
Xu Niannian shouted loudly. "Nuo Heng, if you dare take another step forward, I'll kill Ye Tian."
Nuo Heng came to a halt. Because Ye Xiangtian's body had almost completely covered Xu Niannian, from where Nuo Heng stood, he could only see Ye Xiangtian and was unaware of what Xu Niannian had done to him.
