<h4>Chapter 1235 Crumbling in pain.</h4>


    Li Xue had long seen the spinner fidget deing their way. Thanks to her reflexes that before it could touch Shen Bingling and tear her flesh, Li Xue had been swift enough to pull her and Shin You Jun to the side behind one of the cars parked there.


    "Are you alright?" Li Xue asked as she stared at Shen Bingling to see if in any way the des had touched her.


    But the girl was already too scared to say a word. Maybe this was the first time for Shen Bingling to encounter any such thing, so it took a moment for her to gather herself back before shaking her head. "L-Li Xue, that would have just killed me?"


    "You are fine, Princess Shen. There is nothing to worry about." Li Xue could read the fright in the eyes of the young princess. Although she knew that things had turned out in a way that they needed to worry about, still to ease the panicked nerves of the girl, she tried to coax her.


    Then tilting to the side, she looked out to check in the direction from where the de was spun before. The enemies had note out and were still in hiding.


    "Elder Sister, what is happening? Who are these people and have they just attacked us? Are they after the royals?" Shin You Jun asked, tugging his brows with confusion. He was also having a peek outside, but same as Li Xue, he couldn''t see anyone.


    Li Xue''s expression has long lost its mildness. Turning all serious, she shook her head. "Nope. It''s not on the royals. It''s on me." It was not hard for her to guess it. Earlier, it might have looked like the de was about to tear Shen Bingling''s flesh, but Li Xue had seen through its proper angle. If she had not made a move to escape earlier, it would have just cut off a few strands of Shen Bingling''s hair before reaching to pierce her.


    Shin You Jun''s eyes turned red. "On you? Who dares?" His words came out through gritted teeth, trying his best to not blow away their temporary hideout.


    Shen Bingling was even confused. "They are after you, Li Xue? Did you offend someone?" She asked but at that moment, Li Xue had no story to share. Neither did she have any knowledge about it.


    "You guys stay here and don''te out. I will go and check." Li Xue suddenly said, ready to stand up to check. But before she could move, Shen Bingling held her hand, pulling her back down with fear in her expression.


    "They might have weapons. It''s risky to go out." She said while Shin You Jun also red.


    "Exactly. Are you crazy? What are you even thinking? They are here to harm you and you are walking out as if going to check the friendly guest who has arrived at your door."


    Li Xue looked at them. Even though their words had a logic, still they can''t sit there the whole time and wait for the enemies to find them out. She would have to make a move first to be on the advantageous side.


    "We would need to find them before they find us." Li Xue said, but right before she could make a move, a voice halted her.


    "Madam, are you fine?"


    It was Du Fan who had witnessed everything before and had arrived near Li Xue, withouting to anyone''s notice.


    Li Xue turned to look at the man and asked with furrowed brows, "Mr. Driver, you havee here. Did anyone …" Before she could finish, the man shook his head.


    "Nope, madam. I made my way withouting to their notice. Don''t worry I will take you back home all safe." Du Fan assured and there was confidence in his eyes. After all, this was his chance to fulfill the orders he received from Feng Shufen earlier. For the first two times, he might have failed. But this time he would give no reason for disappointment.


    Li Xue looked at the man. She was not doubting his capabilities. But he was still one, she couldn''t leave him alone to deal with all the enemies hiding outside. "Mr. Driver, the enemies are hiding. To make a move on them we at least need to have a rough knowledge of their numbers."


    "Don''t worry, Madam, I will go and check." Du Fan said but Li Xue immediately shook her head.


    "You can''t go alone, Mr. Du. They are in their hiding and they could make a move withouting to your notice." Li Xue said but smiling at her words, Du Fan just shook his head.


    With politeness and sincerityced in his tone, he said, "Madam, I have been appointed to keep you safe. This is my opportunity to fulfill my duty. I would be fine. Please stay here safe until Ie back." He said, and before Li Xue could say anything or stop him, he stood up and stepped away from the car with a gun in his hand.


    Li Xue had never seen Du Fan with a gun before, but now seeing him holding it with all ease, she could easily say that this wasn''t his first time holding it. Rather he looked very ustomed to it.


    She peeked out slightly at him to check. Although she wanted to go along, since he had asked her to let him do his duty, she had no choice but to sit back and wait. But she has also made up that she would only remain calmly seated here until Du Fan is not injured. If she saw harming his way, she wouldn''t remain in hiding anymore.


    Just when she was thinking like that a thud on the ground was heard. When she peeked out a little, she saw Du Fan thrashing a man hard on the ground, before moving to the other. He looked good at handling the first few. But Li Xue knew the game wasn''t over with just a few. There were still more.


    Right at that moment, her eyes again caught something shiny making its way. This time in the direction of Du Fan. To alert the driver prior, she called, "Du Fan, from the right in the east. Move!" And on hermand, the man moved, escaping another spinner de. But before he could react towards the person who spun the de in his direction, Li Xue was swift enough to pick the first de and spun it on him, at once bringing him to the ground, wincing and crumbling in pain.
