After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

Huo Jinyan’s eyes were gloomy as he peered into the dark night. His surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. He appeared casual, but he was actually paying attention to the movements around him.

At this moment at Imperial View No. 5, Huo Jinyan’s residence, there were people hidden everywhere in the house, watching Huo Jinyan through the window as he walked back under the moonlight.

Then, a ringtone broke the silence of the night.

Even Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment. He was rooted to the ground for

two seconds before then took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID on the screen, his eyes softened almost imperceptibly.

He was afraid that something had happened if she was calling him at this time, so he answered the call without thinking.

The hush of the wind came from the phone. Lu Ning’s cold sweat had yet to dissipate. She called out hesitantly, “Teacher Huo?”

Huo Jinyan had just reached the door of his house. He stood still, and prepared to open the door.

He opened his mouth and replied, “Yes…”

Before he could ask anything, a cold glint suddenly pierced over from his right. He immediately caught it and leaned back to dodge, but the phone in his hand fell to the ground and immediately shattered into pieces.

On the other end of the line, Lu Ning did not get any other answers before she heard some small sounds. Then, the phone cut to a busy tone; there was nothing else.

Lu Ning’s heart skipped a beat.

It was as if the scene in her dream had replayed in front of her eyes. The cold sweat that had appeared while she was sleeping seemed to instantly chill her entire body again.

Her hands trembled, and she hurriedly dialed Huo Jinyan’s number again, but this time, it did not go through. A cold, monotone voice replied. “Sorry, the number you dialed is not available…”

Lu Ning’s mind went blank, as if all her uneasiness and panic had been confirmed.

She immediately got up and locked her door from inside. Then, she turned off the lights, opened the window, and jumped out.

In the pitch-black night, Huo Jinyan glanced at the remnants of his phone.

Before he could think anything else, the tip of a knife stabbed towards him.

Huo Jinyan easily dodged it, but more and more people appeared around him. The people who were originally hiding in the villa realized something was wrong and moved quickly. Some jumped down from the windows, while the doors of the villa were opened and people ran out one after another.

The group of people attacking Huo Jinyan seemed to want to get rid of him using knives. All of them were wielding knives, and none of them carried

guns.

Huo Jinyan did not want to scare the residents nearby, so while he ordered his men to bring guns, they did not use them.

The group of people fought. Aside from their knives, they also used their fists.

Muffled sounds cut through the night, and the cold wind continued to howl.

Huo Jinyan was surrounded by a few people; these people all had knives in their hands, but they were also injured. Their bodies swayed a little unsteadily.

Huo Jinyan was in their center, and someone suddenly stabbed at him from the back. He immediately bent forward to dodge, and the people around him all stabbed towards him. He dodged left and right, but it was inevitable that his clothes would be torn. Thankfully, his body was not wounded.

It was fortunate that Chu Ting and the others came to save him in time. He was really overwhelmed, having to face these blades by himself.

However, it was unknown how many assailants there were.. After defeating one group, another group of them rushed out…
