It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon.
Salena finally woke up, her face looking a bit tired. It was clear... she hadn't slept well last night.
"Sister Kelly, what time is it?"
Salena blinked her eyes and asked softly.
"1:14 PM."
Kelly replied, coming to the bedside and helping the somewhat weak Salena sit up against the headboard.
"Huh?"
Salena was surprised, "Didn't I have an event this morning?"
"It's fine."
Kelly explained with a smile, "I already explained the situation to the organizers, and everyone understands. The event has been postponed.
You can rest well today, or for the next few days, and recover your state of mind!"
"Oh, okay."
Salena nodded her head, "My current condition really isn't suitable for any activities.
Sister Kelly.
I'm telling you, I was truly terrified last night.
I don't know how I was saved, I only know that the Scar Man's long knife was probably only three centimeters away from my chest.
It was... so terrifying!"
"It was..."
Kelly was about to say that Su Yan saved her.
Salena continued, "Sister Kelly, you know what? Last night I dreamed that Su Yan saved me.
I don't know why he saved me.
Maybe... because he didn't come out with me last night, I was mad at him, hahaha~"
Salena laughed as she spoke.
Although she was very uneasy, the thought of Su Yan still brought a smile to her face.
"You dreamed it?"
Kelly also laughed upon hearing this, then continued, "Salena, you didn't just dream that Su Yan saved you.
Last night.
Su Yan *did* save you!
He was like a superhero, rushing out while everyone else around was just watching from a distance.
He charged out.
He charged out like your Black Knight, kicking away the Scar Man who wanted to hurt you.
And gave him a good beating.
It was incredibly cool.
He protected you, bandaged your wound, brought you to the hotel, and only left after I arrived.
He is your savior.
When you get the chance, you must thank him in person!"
"Huh?"
Salena was shocked, "I only remember it in a dream, why do I have no memory of it?!"
"Perhaps you were too frightened and forgot!"
Kelly tried to explain.
She opened her phone and found a clip from the morning news, showing Salena the footage of Su Yan saving her.
Salena was able to confirm it.
"Huh?"
Salena was both surprised and delighted. "I truly don't remember! I can't believe Su Yan actually saved me!
He clearly said he was going back.
Why didn't he go back, and why did he go to the same commercial street as me? Could it be... that he foresaw my danger tonight.
And came specifically to save me?"
"Uh..."
Kelly shook her head, smiling, "It wasn't quite that miraculous, but he certainly saved you!!!"
"I remember everything now!"
Salena watched the news, took a moment to recover, and as her memory returned, she exclaimed excitedly, "Su Yan is my savior!
If it weren't for him, I might not have seen the sun today.
Thank him for giving me a new life.
I must repay him properly!!!"
Salena made up her mind.
Immediately... after adjusting her mood and mindset again, she posted an update and a selfie on Twitter to report she was safe... Mengmeng was preparing for her concert.
The date has been set for New Year's next year, and she plans to invite Su Yan to the concert.
She prepared the front-most VIP seat for him.
However... she also saw the news today about the riot on Colonel Commercial Street, and Su Yan's "act of bravery," transforming into a "Flower Protector" to save Salena.
That wasn't the main point.
The focus was... the entertainment industry, especially the cp flag raised high by Salena's fans for Su Yan and Salena.
In an instant.
She felt a significant sense of crisis.
After all... even before this incident broke, she had seen news of Salena approaching Su Yan in the Ford Center cafeteria.
This was trending, a hot topic.
Someone always secretly films and reports it.
She also saw footage from the game where the cameraman focused the lens on Su Yan and Salena.
The two were chatting and laughing.
Following that... was the riot on Colonel Commercial Street that night, where Su Yan became a hero and rescued Salena.
Everything.
Seemed connected by coincidence.
Making it hard not to be suspicious.
Especially since Mengmeng had already fallen in love with Su Yan upon learning that he was tall, handsome, and extremely gentlemanly.
A sense of urgency immediately arose.
"An act of bravery, that's something Su Yan would do, but... why was the target Salena?
Why does it seem so coincidental?
No way.
I can't wait, I can't let their feelings slowly warm up. I must make my move quickly and secure Su Yan.
Otherwise... Salena might really steal my man!!!"
...After Su Yan got off the plane.
He went back and had a wonderful sleep.
He was aware of some of the news, discussions, and resulting buzz, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
6 PM.
Rebecca invited Su Yan over to her house, wanting him to sample her cooking.
5 PM.
Su Yan woke up.
He went to the living room and turned on the TV to shake off his drowsiness. The television station was still tracking the stabbing incident on Colonel Commercial Street.
There was the latest progress in the evening.
First, casualties: a total of 7 people were injured, and one person died on the spot.
Of the remaining 6 people, 2 were in the ICU receiving treatment; their conditions stabilized this afternoon and they were transferred to a regular ward. 3 people had minor injuries.
Finally, Salena only suffered a scratch on her arm, the least severe injury.
Second, the reason for the Scar Man's societal revenge.
This guy had been courting her for three years, finally winning over his desired goddess. The goddess ate his food, drank his drinks, and even lived in his house.
But after dating for half a year, they hadn't slept together once.
The reason the goddess gave was that she was very conservative and would only do it on their wedding night.
The Scar Man believed her, thinking his goddess was incredibly pure.
He worked desperately every day, hoping for a good future with his goddess.
Yesterday, he told his girlfriend he was working overtime and wouldn't be back that night.
However... the company's electrical system had an issue, causing a power outage, and the boss decided last minute to cancel the overtime and reschedule for the next day.
The Scar Man bought his girlfriend's favorite strawberry cake and happily returned home.
He opened the door and found his girlfriend and an unfamiliar man intensely 'fighting' on the sofa.
So much so that when the Scar Man walked in and saw them, the other guy showed no intention of stopping.
???
I spent three years courting her, and I haven't even had a taste of the dream goddess I finally got, yet you're having fun with another man in *my* house?!
A movie plot brought to reality?!
BOOM!
The Scar Man immediately exploded, spiraling into the sky right where he stood.
His world collapsed.
The moment the cake in his hand dropped to the floor, he lost all reason and went completely insane.
Just as the cheating man reacted and hurriedly tried to get dressed.
The Scar Man rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a fruit knife—the same one he later used to stab people on Colonel Commercial Street.
He first stabbed the cheating man to death, then... killed his girlfriend too, and took advantage of her afterward.
He never imagined that he would finally possess his beloved goddess in such a manner.
Knowing he had committed murder, that he couldn't escape justice, and having suffered such humiliation, he didn't want to live anymore anyway.
He simply went mad.
He rushed onto the Colonel Commercial Street plaza, transforming into a "Murderous Maniac" bent on societal revenge, killing without blinking.
And that led to the subsequ
ent series of events.
