After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Boss's Favorite (41)

The incident happened in an instant. There was no one around Li Shu, and he was in a blind spot. The attacker didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity. As he got closer, Li Shu could see the excitement and ferocity on his face.

In just a moment, Li Shu searched in his memory, but could not find any memory related to this person, and frowned with a look of confusion.

The man moved quickly. In just a few seconds, he was almost upon him, as if he could already see the joy of success. The man's smile widened, and his eyes gleamed brightly.

The man was holding a glass bottle in his hand. The bottle was brown and filled with an unknown liquid. Judging by his movements, he intended to pour the liquid on Li Shu.

Li Shu narrowed his eyes. At the moment the man approached, he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the brown bottle thrown at him. The bottle hit the wall behind him with a crisp sound, fell to the ground, and shattered.

The liquid spilled out from the broken bottle, staining the carpet and causing a violent corrosive reaction. The carpet turned black and charred, emitting a foul smell.

After the attack failed, the man lunged at Li Shu with ferocity. This time, Li Shu didn't dodge. Going with the man's momentum, he grabbed the man's arm and easily subdued him.

The man gasped for breath. His body was tense, and he was struggling to break free from Li Shu's grip.

The young man looked slender, but he possessed astonishing strength. No matter how hard the man struggled, he couldn't escape Li Shu's restraint.

Pressing the man against the wall, Li Shu narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Tell me, who sent you?"

The man frowned, refusing to speak.

Li Shu increased the pressure on his grip, and the man cried out in pain, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Not talking?"

The commotion finally attracted the attention of others. Seeing the shattered pieces at Li Shu's feet and the strange liquid corroding the floor nearby, as well as the man subdued by Li Shu, onlookers approached cautiously, asking, "Should we call the police?"

Li Shu shook his head. "Get the director first."

The director arrived quickly, followed by the security personnel of the party.

Upon hearing that something had happened backstage, the chief director's heart almost stopped. An accident happening to any of the stars invited to the party tonight was something he couldn't afford. He quickly handed over the situation to the assistant director, and rushed over with his team.

He prayed all the way that nothing serious had occurred.

He had worked hard to reach his current position. If anything went wrong at such an important event, whether with the guests who had already performed or those who hadn't, he wouldn't be able to handle the consequences. Even if no one was injured, the intrusion of an unscrupulous person backstage would be a major professional failure for him. After this incident, he might face demotion or even lose his position, but it was still better than someone getting hurt.

If no one was injured, there was still room for a turnaround. But if someone was hurt, his career might come to an end.

"Hurry, what's the situation over there?" Upon hearing the news, the director rushed to the scene.

"The person has been subdued, but that person..." The speaker hesitated, "Director, you'd better see for yourself."

His slightly eased heart instantly tensed up again. Taking a deep breath, the director quickened his pace. No matter what situation he was about to face, now was not the time to avoid it. If it could be resolved quickly, that would be best.
