At Shen Jingzhe's cry, everyone turned to see the waiter, who had been clearing away food scraps, thrusting a dagger with a cold gleam toward a vital spot on Su Qingning.
Because he was wearing a mask, the man's face was hidden, but his exposed eyes were filled with venomous malice.
The tip of the dagger was less than three centimeters from Su Qingning's head when the waiter's hand froze, unable to move another fraction of an inch.
Indeed, Lin Xiao had already made his move.
In fact, the moment the waiter entered, Lin Xiao sensed something was wrong with him. A normal waiter wouldn't look around after coming in; they would just focus on their work. This man, however, had quickly scanned the entire room upon entry, his gaze finally settling on Su Qingning. Most importantly, when he saw her, his eyes revealed not admiration, but killing intent.
