Hidden Assassin 118

“Whatever…”

Teasing beautiful women felt great. Holding the big panda, everyone was laughing. Before coming to negotiate, they had roughly calculated that Liu Zheng wouldn’t really turn against them for such a small matter. As long as they didn’t go too far, some provocation was natural. Holding the panda, laughing and joking, everyone was watching Liu Zheng’s expression. The bald man at the table chuckled, “How about it? Hm? Old Zheng, it’s just a small matter like you said, don’t get angry. Getting angry is bad for your health.”

“I advise you to return it!” Standing up slowly at the table, Liu Zheng seemed about to make a move. Everyone’s nerves tightened. The hall was quiet, although someone was speaking, it only deepened the silence.

“Hehe, come on, little sister, want a panda? If you want it, give your big brother a… aaah!”

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream rang out. Everyone, still facing Liu Zheng, turned their heads in shock. They saw that Yue Chi Xun had both hands wrapped around the panda, and the man who had been holding the panda was staggered back, his thigh pierced by several bamboo chopsticks, blood flowing freely. The chopsticks were inserted too deep, probably reaching the bone. Therefore, the man’s screams were particularly mournful.

Tick-tock, tick-tock… For a moment, everyone was stunned, including Liu Zheng, including Sha Sha who usually taught Yue Chi Xun boxing, and Jia Ming who sneered. The girl in white wiped the spilled wine off the panda with her sleeve and quietly walked to the side.

“Aah… Aah… You stinky woman…” The man holding his thigh leaned against a nearby sofa, then yelled twice, limped towards Yue Chi Xun. Before anyone could stop him, Yue Chi Xun, who was at a table, grabbed the tablecloth and threw it over the man’s head. Decorated vases, champagne, and other items on the table flew into the air. Before they could fall, the girl, after throwing the tablecloth, suddenly turned around and struck out.

Bang—

The moment the man was covered by the tablecloth, the wine bottle smashed on his head. As he fell, his companions rushed over, “Water Brother, Water Brother…” In an instant, everyone from Sha Xiu Gang shook their heads and whistled in regret. Initially, when Jia Ming and Sha Sha brought this beautiful girl, they were all quite fond of her, and they had even thought about making a move. Who knew that the girls nowadays were so fierce? Not only Sha Sha, Sha Sha’s friend Ling Jing, but even a random girl could easily knock down a big man.

Lifting the tablecloth, the man was not only bleeding from his thigh, but also blood was flowing from his head. A few steps away, Yue Chi Xun sat quietly on the sofa, silently wiping the stains off the panda. The leader, the bald man, nodded, “Take him out! Liu Zheng, how are you going to settle this?”

“Hehe, I said it from the beginning, she’s my guest, I naturally won’t interfere. Didn’t I tell you, you better pay attention. Why won’t you listen?”

“Hmph, good, good.” The bald man nodded, “You won’t interfere, but will you still not interfere now that I’m going to move her?”

“You can try.”

Sitting at the table, Liu Zheng smiled confidently. The bald man widened his eyes. After a moment, he waved his hand back, “Bring that girl back to me!”

Liu Zheng slammed the table, stood up, “Who dares to try!”

“I need to give my brother an explanation. Old Zheng, is this a feud you are taking, or will she be carrying it? Let’s be clear, I’m going to make a move!”

Those who hang out in the underworld value face. In public, someone was hurt by your people, and if you can’t get revenge, you will be looked down upon. Amidst the commotion, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense again. On the other hand, Sha Sha saw Jia Ming come over and asked in confusion, “Why didn’t I know that Xun was so powerful before? She’ll be fine, right?”

“Heh, don’t worry.” Jia Ming smiled and comforted her, “Her family’s influence is even greater than all the gangs in Jiang Hai City combined. These people can’t touch her. By the way, is there anything to eat? It’s already time for dinner, I’m starving.”

“We’re about to fight, and you’re just thinking about eating!” Sha Sha rolled her eyes at him angrily. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching them, she pulled Jia Ming’s hand and walked to the back, “My dad doesn’t usually eat here, he usually orders takeout. The stove is on, but there’s basically nothing in the refrigerator. We can only eat instant noodles now… uh, Xun will be fine, right?”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. You see Xun is a bit clumsy when learning things, but she’s very strong, I can vouch for that.”

“Hmph, if she’s still considered clumsy, then I’ll be so self-conscious to death…” Sha Sha pouted, “Hey, be honest, Xun is so strong, why does she still learn from me? I think she must be secretly learning from you. Hmm… Hmm…”

While talking, Jia Ming bit her pouting lips. She struggled with a muffled sound for a while before separating from Jia Ming with her cheeks flushed red. The originally fresh and handsome face was stained with a touch of charm. After catching her breath, she weakly punched Jia Ming, “You want to suffocate me? Quickly, quickly, don’t change the subject!”

Going through the corridor to a room at the back, Jia Ming introduced Yue Chi’s family background while opening the refrigerator to look for something to eat. There were three eggs, seaweed, half a carrot, two packets of pickled vegetables, a piece of cured meat frozen so hard it looked like an iron rod… On the other side, Sha Sha was washing the frying pan, which looked like it hadn’t been used for a month, in the stove, and exclaimed from time to time.

“Wow, she really came to learn Chinese kung fu! Hmph, she’s not wronging me for teaching her with such care. By the way, Jia Ming, did you make her stay outside so she could have a chance to practice? Can I go too?”

“Don’t even think about it.” Jia Ming laughed, “Although my Chinese kung fu is not as proficient as yours, in terms of practical combat, you’re far inferior to her. Just think about her pain tolerance. Besides, this is a small matter. Having her there is enough.”

“Then you’re going to teach me and Ling Jing how to fight too? I want to try all the different methods. Hehe… It’s not exciting enough to use them on you.”

“Violent woman… I teach you and Ling Jing just in case. I will try my best to avoid those things and prevent those ‘just in case’ situations from happening. If you really need to make a move in this kind of brawl, it’s better if I just knock them all out at once.”

“Bragging, you think you can knock them all out at once?” Sha Sha gave him a cute roll of her eyes.

“Including those people outside, if we don’t count their running away, and if we don’t use guns, I can handle everything within five minutes…”

While the two were talking, Jia Ming had already cooked the seaweed egg soup, made the instant noodles, and then stir-fried the cured meat and carrots to add to the noodles. Just then, chaotic sounds came from outside.

“They’re fighting, I’m going to help!” Sha Sha immediately wanted to rush out, but Jia Ming grabbed her hand and put the delicious noodles in her hand, “Don’t worry, Xun has made a move, things will be resolved soon. Let’s just focus on eating noodles, trust me, hmm?”

Sha Sha hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. The two sat on chairs in the room, eating hot noodles. Sha Sha asked, “Jia Ming, if I really go out, how many people can I beat?”

“Uh… One by one, with all the stuff I taught you, you can probably beat seven or eight. If they come at you all at once, maybe two or three. However, even if you fight one-on-one with someone, I’m not very reassured…”

Hearing him say that, Sha Sha’s cheeks turned a shade of red, and she laughed, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble.” Then she sat quietly, slurping the noodles. After a while, the commotion outside stopped. After a while, Liu Zheng walked in from the doorway, sniffing the aroma in the room, and quickly took a bowl to eat the noodles, “Heh, it’s a mess outside, you two are good, hiding here to eat. This is Jia Ming’s cooking, not bad, not bad. For this bowl of noodles, I’ll have to marry Sha Sha to you.”

Jia Ming laughed foolishly, Sha Sha as usual complained playfully, “Dad… by the way, is everything alright outside? Is anyone hurt?”

“Well, of course not.” Liu Zheng swallowed the noodles in his mouth, frowning, “Your friend… what is that girl’s background? We hadn’t even started to make a move, she just knocked down the people around her, then bled the bald guy, dragged him out, he won’t die, but he’ll probably have to stay in the hospital for two months. Honestly, I’ve never seen such a ruthless girl. Sha Sha, at school… you need to make friends who study well, like Ling Jing. Or like Jia Ming, do you know the girl’s background?”

Sha Sha finally laughed and looked at Jia Ming, “We know she’s good at fighting, but she’s also very good at her studies. She doesn’t cause trouble very often. Anyway, she’s our friend. I’ll go get her to come in and eat noodles.”

“I’ve already ordered takeout. It’s rude to let your friends eat instant noodles when they come to your house. Hey, Sha Sha…”

“Hmph, you don’t even think about eating the rest by yourself. I’m telling you, the rest is for Xun, you dare touch it and I’ll turn against you.” Smiling to expose her father’s intentions, Sha Sha ran outside. Liu Zheng looked at Jia Ming, then shook his head helplessly and smiled…

In the hall outside, the traces of the fight were still there, smashed wine bottles, overturned tables and chairs, spilled blood, a group of people were busy cleaning up. On a sofa in the corner, the girl in white, who was being secretly watched, discussed, and admired by everyone, was sitting quietly on the sofa, gently wiping the wine stains off the panda, with a calm and focused expression. Girl, panda… forming a strange space of peace and quiet.

A lonely world of one…
