Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Tao Siran and Zhang Qiaolan were the closest, and Zhang Qiaolan saw Tao Siran was about to hit Zhang Xiuren. Instinctively, she bumped into them, but Tao Siran stepped back, causing her to crash into Zhang Xiuren.
Instinctively, Zhang Xiuren stepped back, but his leg stumbled over the large floor vase nearby.
His body and the floor vase fell together.
"Ah—!!" The crowd screamed, rising unconsciously or stepping back.
Zhang Qiaolan didn't even have time to react, watching helplessly as she brainlessly collided with the sharp edge of the nearby steps, while the vase made a loud "bang!" shattering completely on the ground.
Zhang Xiuren's head collided with the sharp edge of the steps and then heavily slammed into the shattered vase.
No one expected this sudden and dramatic change.
