Chapter 205: Chapter 0205: She Must Escape!
There’s absolutely no response…
Mu Lan’s heart instantly sank, but she didn’t panic too much; her only thought was how to leave this place. If she delayed any longer, she feared it would interfere with the competition.
She had finally gotten this opportunity and absolutely couldn’t give up without a fight.
Standing on the toilet lid in her high heels, Mu Lan tried hard to reach up with both hands to the edge of the stall door, but with no foothold, she couldn’t flip herself over.
Mu Lan was soaking wet and slippery, barely managing to climb up a bit before falling down again—her efforts utterly futile.
Feeling like she was completely wasting her strength, the thought of missing the competition due to someone else’s prank made her anxious and even more self-critical for not being more vigilant.
“Damn it!”
She cursed under her breath, wiping the dirty water off her face, and decided to kick off her shoes, ready to stake everything on one last attempt.
She hadn’t designed those clothes with such effort and come all this way just to cry and be the butt of jokes.
The name her father had given her meant she was to be strong and brave like Mulan, so she wouldn’t just be knocked down, nor would she admit defeat over such a trivial matter!
Let those who looked down on her just wait and see; she would definitely prove her capabilities and worth, making them pay for their arrogance.
Backstage, Huo Tingxiao was going crazy trying to contact Mu Lan without any luck.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Huo, it’s my fault I didn’t pick up madam’s call.”
“Contact Long Xiao in case of emergencies, I’m afraid someone had her in their sights from early on.”
Huo Tingxiao’s heart leaped to his throat; if there was a kidnapping, he would need local forces for assistance. Luckily, with Long Xiao there, he could lend a helping hand.
A few foreign girls with competition badges walked in, their eyes lighting up when they saw Huo Tingxiao; they came up to chat:
“Hi, who are you modeling for? Are you a newcomer?”
“Which agency are you from? Maybe we can collaborate in the future.”
Huo Tingxiao was in no mood to chat with the girls, focused solely on how to find Mu Lan.
“Excuse me, have you seen designer number 6? She’s very pretty, an Eastern face, wearing a black dress with gray patches, about this tall.”
As he spoke, Huo Tingxiao gestured to indicate her height.
The girls quickly understood who he was looking for and exchanged knowing glances, pretending:
“Haven’t seen her, no idea who you’re talking about.”
“Maybe she got cold feet about not winning the award and gave up? Can’t handle the pressure, I guess.”
“Hmm, very possible. After all, all of us finalists come from renowned design institutes. It’s normal for a nobody to lack confidence. After all, you can’t win an award in such a high-level competition with just mediocre skills.”
Huo Tingxiao narrowed his eyes, catching a slip in one of the blonde girls’ statements.
“How do you know she’s not from a renowned design institute? You said you don’t know her, so how would you be aware of the opponent’s school?”
The blonde girl hesitated, suddenly feeling guilty and avoiding Huo Tingxiao’s gaze.
“I… I was just talking. How should I know if she is or isn’t… Ah! What are you doing?”
All of a sudden, Huo Tingxiao grabbed the girl’s wrist, startling her.
“You’ve seen her! Tell me where she is, otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might do. After all, a designer’s hands are very precious.”
Her voice trembled with fear due to his menacing tone, yet she still stubbornly retorted:
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I… I don’t know anything, ah! Do you know who I am? I am a member of the Lawrence Family, this is Paris, do you dare to be rude to me?”
“You barbarian, let go of Katrina, someone help, there’s violence, security!”
Huo Tingxiao immediately became the focal point backstage, but he didn’t care at all. It didn’t matter to him if she was from the Lawrence Family or even the Rothschild Family! All he cared about was Mu Lan’s safety.
“I’ll ask you again, where have you seen her!”
His grip tightened, causing Katrina to yelp in pain and quickly confess.
“Ah, my hand… the restroom, she’s in the restroom, let go of me now!”
Huo Tingxiao released his grip and left like the wind.
“Alright, alright, models, get ready to go on stage, it’s about to start, Katrina, are you okay?”
“Damn it, who is that man, daring to be rude to me? Which agency’s model is he? I’ll have him banned from the modeling world, immediately!”
Katrina dropped her threats, but the staff explained awkwardly:
“He’s Tracy’s husband, not a model, it was all a misunderstanding, Katrina, let it go, the models have already started going on stage, you should get ready too.”
Katrina glanced toward the direction Huo Tingxiao had left, realizing he was that woman’s husband, hmph, if only he knew about that woman’s improper relationship with Vincent… a slight curve formed on her lips, a cunning glint passing through her eyes.
In the restroom, Mu Lan didn’t know how many times she had failed, but she finally managed to climb onto the top of the door. However, as Mulan looked down at the ground, she was instantly filled with psychological fear, swallowing nervously as she began to reinforce her resolve.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, nobody dies from this.”
She closed her eyes and jumped down fiercely; the moment she touched the floor, her feet slipped, and she fell onto the floor, intense pain surging from her ankle, contorting her facial features tightly together.
“Mulan, Mulan, are you in there?”
Hearing the familiar voice outside, Mulan was so excited she almost burst into tears.
“Huo Tingxiao, hiss…”
But any slight movement caused her such pain that she grimaced.

It was over, she had twisted her ankle.
“Huo Tingxiao, I’m here!”
When Huo Tingxiao walked in and saw Mulan in disarray on the ground, bruises on her arms and shins, his body filled with a murderous aura. The heart-wrenching pain overflowed from within him.
“How are you? Where are you injured? Where does it hurt?”
Mulan frowned, enduring the pain in her ankle.
“I’m fine, hurry up, the competition is about to start.
If I don’t go on stage, I’ll be disqualified.”
Grasping Huo Tingxiao’s outstretched hand, Mulan tried to stand up but couldn’t muster any strength.
“How can you possibly continue in the competition in this condition? You need to go to the hospital, I’ll take you to the doctor immediately.”
As he spoke, he tried to lift Mulan, but she pushed him away.
“No, I can’t dirty your clothes. You promised you would go on stage. I don’t need to go to the hospital, I want to continue the competition!”
Mulan’s words stunned Huo Tingxiao. He looked at her in disbelief, his gaze falling on her severely swollen ankle. Under such circumstances, she still wanted to continue the competition?
“Have you lost your mind?”
