Xiaomi trembled with fear and pointed at the man, yelling, "Who are you! What do you want!"
Lin Leyao rested in the warm embrace for a long time. When she heard Xiao Mi's question, she came to her senses, straightened up, and left the person's embrace.
Lin Leyao then looked up and saw Xin Ying's worried eyes.
"you--"
Lin Leyao's voice was still weak from the shock.
She cleared her throat, paused for a moment, and asked in her normal voice, "Weren't you in Hong Kong? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Luckily I made it back in time, because the first thing I saw when I got back was such a dangerous scene."
Xin Ying's face showed a rare expression of losing control. She carefully examined Lin Leyao's face from head to toe, as if to make sure that the other party was not injured.
Upon hearing this, Lin Leyao grinned and comforted her, "I'm fine."
Xin Ying retorted without holding back: "If you were really alright, you wouldn't just stand there dumbfounded in this situation, too scared to even run away."
As Xin Ying recalled the terrifying scene from just now, her adrenaline surged, and she felt a wave of lingering fear.
She didn't know if Lin Leyao's legs were weak, but she felt a sudden, overwhelming weakness after being overly tense. She held Lin Leyao tightly in her arms, not daring to let go.
The man who launched the sneak attack was being held hostage by the driver and had no ability to resist.
Lin Leyao and Xin Ying were hugging each other, while Xiao Mi angrily questioned who the man was.
The man suddenly started shouting Lin Leyao's name repeatedly.
"Lin Leyao! Lin Leyao!"
"Lin Leyao, I'm a reporter, I'd like to interview you!"
Xin Ying, who was holding Lin Leyao in her arms, heard the man's shout and her eyes instantly turned cold.
Xin Ying patted Lin Leyao's head and slowly released her.
Lin Leyao wrapped Xin Ying's clothes tightly around herself and walked with Xin Ying to the side of the shouting man.
Lin Leyao stared coldly at the man and questioned, "You say you're a reporter? Which platform are you a reporter for? Where's your press card?"
The man seemed not to hear Lin Leyao's question, and kept repeating, "I'm a reporter, I really am a reporter, I just want to interview you!"
Lin Leyao frowned but remained silent.
Suddenly, the man lunged forward, trying to grab Lin Leyao's calf.
Xin Ying quickly pulled Lin Leyao behind her and kicked the man again.
When his plan failed, the man flew into a rage: "I'm calling the police! I'm going to sue you for assaulting me!"
Lin Leyao stood motionless, staring at him with a cold expression.
Seeing the man's filthy appearance, bloodshot eyes, and bulging pupils, Lin Leyao instructed the driver, "Take him to the police station."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately said, "Le Yao, Le Yao, I'm your fan. I really like you. I've liked you for many years, and I watch all your works. I'm here today to ask you if your relationship with that Liu Fang is real, and if you really like women!"
Xin Ying, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "What's wrong with liking women?"
The man suddenly fell silent, then struggled violently, glaring at Xin Ying with a twisted expression as he demanded of Lin Leyao, "Do you like Liu Fang or this woman?! Is this woman your new sugar daddy?!"
Lin Leyao ignored the lunatic and said, "Let's call the police."
The driver grunted in agreement, and Xiaomi, who was standing next to him, immediately took out her phone to call the police.

Chapter 67
The driver and Xiaomi stayed in the underground parking garage to wait for the police from the local police station to arrive.
Xin Ying followed Lin Leyao upstairs back to her hotel room.
By this time, Lin Leyao had completely calmed down. She took off her mask and asked, "Why did you suddenly come here? When did you leave?"
Xin Ying replied, "I left from Hong Kong this morning and traveled for most of the day."
As she spoke, Xin Ying couldn't help but chuckle, seemingly feeling quite crazy.
After leaving the cemetery, she suddenly felt a strong urge to see Lin Leyao. With this thought in mind, she immediately made a decision: first by plane, then by car. She spent most of the day traveling without rest, and finally arrived here before Lin Leyao returned.
She had planned to give Lin Leyao a surprise, but instead of the surprise, she encountered such a terrible scene.
While Xin Ying was still scared, she also felt fortunate that she had immediately returned to find Lin Leyao when she thought of her, thus preventing some unexpected events from happening.
After hearing Xin Ying's answer, Lin Leyao blinked in surprise and asked, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise." Xin Ying sighed, then reached out and grabbed Lin Leyao's hands, asking in a low voice, "I haven't been able to reply to your messages all day while I was driving. Are you angry?"
Lin Leyao tilted her head, glanced at the ambiguous smile on Xin Ying's face, and immediately said firmly, "No."
"Really?"
"certainly."
Looking at the determined expression on Lin Leyao's face, Xin Ying couldn't help but chuckle softly: "It was my fault for not replying to your message, so it's only right that you hit me now."
Xin Ying spent the entire day on planes and in cars without rest, and her voice was a little hoarse. She was very different from usual; she seemed to have softened up, and her voice sounded like a gentle coaxing.
Lin Leyao was initially upset about Xin Ying's scandal and lack of response to her messages, but because of her personality, she didn't express her feelings, even though she was unhappy about these things.
But after Xin Ying said those words, Lin Leyao's slight resentment vanished instantly.
Lin Leyao calmed down and stared straight at Xin Ying, who was leaning against the bar, staring back at her without blinking.
Suddenly, Xin Ying opened her arms to Lin Leyao.
Lin Leyao looked at her, then suddenly took a step forward and hugged Xin Ying tightly.
Xin Ying slowly tightened her embrace around Lin Leyao.
The two embraced for a very long time in the quiet room.
Much later, Xin Ying whispered in Lin Leyao's ear in a hoarse voice, "I missed you."
Lin Leyao gently patted Xin Ying's back to comfort her. At that moment, Xin Ying looked like a child being bullied outside, resting her chin on Lin Leyao's neck without moving and saying a word.
Xin Ying rested her chin on Lin Leyao's neck with her eyes closed. She was really tired today, both mentally and physically exhausted.
Lin Leyao is like an energy power station; getting close to her allows you to draw inexhaustible power, which gradually restores her energy.
After hugging for an unknown amount of time, Lin Leyao patted her shoulder and asked, "Didn't you go online today? Your fourth brother got a lot of flak online because of you."
Xin Xiang was like a puppy, clinging to Lin Leyao and unwilling to let go. She closed her eyes and gently sniffed the fragrance on Lin Leyao's body, saying mercilessly, "Let him take the scolding for a while longer, he's thick-skinned."
Lin Leyao couldn't help but laugh. She rubbed Xin Ying's head, and the two maintained this hugging posture for a long time.
Finally, Xinxiang, the robot that had finished charging, was powered on and started up.
She opened her eyes, sat up, rubbed her dry eyes, and asked, "What happened online?"
As she spoke, Xin Ying took out her phone from her pocket and turned it on.
She turned off her phone early this morning, and then she was so busy getting to the film studio that she forgot to turn it on. No one has been able to contact her all day.
After turning on her phone, Xin Ying was somewhat surprised that Xin Si Nan hadn't contacted her. This made Xin Ying curious about what had happened online.
When she logged into Weibo, a flood of private messages appeared.
Xin Ying checked Xin Si Nan's Weibo and finally figured out what had happened.
He had been rumored to be having an affair with Meng Lan, and his family knew about their relationship. His fourth brother had no reason to mention Meng Lan to him and risk offending him.
Looking at her private messages and the comments under Xin Sinan's Weibo post refuting the rumors, Xin Ying was speechless.
These netizens are really too full now. They've had enough of a life with no worries about food and clothing. It's one thing to keep an eye on the lives of public figures, but now they also have to keep an eye on the lives of ordinary people.
These same people were wishing her and her husband a long and happy life together, but now they're turning around and calling her a wicked capitalist, a spoiled brat who hides behind her brother.
Many people criticized her for being very proactive in announcing her marriage last time, but not clarifying this time, which is definitely an admission of her relationship with Meng Lan.
Xin Ying was deeply impressed by the imagination of these netizens when she saw these comments.
She is not a public figure, and the Weibo post announcing her marriage was not to refute the rumors from netizens; it was for Lin Leyao.
She announced her marriage for no other reason than because of Lin Leyao; she was simply afraid her beloved wife would misunderstand.
Now that Xin Ying had figured things out, she looked up from her phone screen and at Lin Leyao.
Lin Leyao stood beside her, also looking at her.
Xin Ying leaned forward and kissed Lin Leyao on the corner of her mouth.
Xin Ying is getting to know Lin Leyao better and better. She knows that her wife is the kind of person who likes to keep everything to herself. Xin Ying doesn't know how Lin Leyao felt when she saw the news during the day. She guesses that Lin Leyao probably acted like nothing happened, pretending to be indifferent, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
In matters of the heart, there's no such thing as who gives more or less. The most important thing is for the two people to choose the way that feels most comfortable to be together. If your wife is passive, then let her take the initiative.
Lin Leyao watched Xin Ying browse Weibo without saying a word.
Xin Ying kissed Lin Leyao and said, "This woman is my third sister-in-law."
Lin Leyao was stunned and before she could react, she heard Xin Ying continue, "She is also my fifth brother's ex-girlfriend."
"My trip to Hong Kong these past two days wasn't actually for business, but to pay respects at my fifth brother's grave."
Once Xin Ying opened up, she began to pour out everything.
Xin Ying recounted everything that happened when she was sixteen.
Although Lin Leyao knew from Iris's words and the Xin family's evasive attitude that something bad must have happened to Xin Ying when she was a child, she did not expect that this incident would lead to the death of Xin Ying's fifth brother and that Xin Ying would almost be killed by her own brother.
Xin Ying spoke lightly, but when Lin Leyao thought of the suffering Xin Ying had endured, her eyes instantly turned red, and she trembled with anger.
Xin Ying briefly described what had happened before in a few words. Seeing Lin Leyao clenching her fists in anger, Xin Ying took Lin Leyao's hand, gently rubbed Lin Leyao's clenched fist, and put her fingertips into Lin Leyao's hand.
Lin Leyao grabbed her hand. She was still angry about the grievances Xin Ying had suffered when she was a child, but she didn't dare to hit her hard now that she was holding Xin Ying's hand.
