Chapter 274: Chapter 247 No One Told Him!
Qiao Yuxian was already tipsy with alcohol, and she was not very clear-headed.
But her steps were steady, with her mind focused on one thing, to go to Yu Jin Hotel to capture Feng Chuanbai.
When she arrived at Yu Jin Hotel, things had already erupted into a fight inside.
She took out a mask from her bag and put it on, slinging the bag across her body, holding the chopstick she grabbed from the private room, and headed toward the most intense sounds of the fight.
Originally, while she was walking from the restaurant to the hotel, she had tracked Liu Zhou’s position.
But when she reached the hotel and heard the fighting, she completely forgot about that, heading straight towards the noise.
Upon reaching the floor, Qiao Yuxian leaned against the wall to observe the area of the fiercest combat.
There were many people, and she couldn’t recognize anyone.
So after watching for a while, she charged right in.
Even though Qiao Yuxian was drunk, she retained a sliver of reason, realizing she couldn’t tell who was who, so she didn’t use excessive force.
She merely knocked them down and stopped.
Sparing no one, she fought her way from the edges into the center.
Inside, she finally saw someone she recognized.
Feng Chuanbai.
He was being shielded by others, preparing to escape.
Qiao Yuxian shook off those around her and immediately went for Feng Chuanbai.
Quickly dealing with those shielding him, she turned to grab Feng Chuanbai, only to find someone else had seized him.
She didn’t recognize who it was.
Nor did she think about who it might be, or whose side they might be on, her actions were faster than her mind, instinctively trying to snatch Feng Chuanbai.
Her opponent was also masked, and without carefully observing her, responded to her attempt to snatch Feng Chuanbai by counterattacking.
Feng Chuanbai was not yet fifty years old, and to become a force of his own, his skills were naturally not lacking.
Thus, it turned into a three-person brawl.
Feng Chuanbai dealt with the two, trying to flee.
Qiao Yuxian retaliated against both the man opposite her and Feng Chuanbai, fearing the man would steal him away and worrying that Feng Chuanbai might escape.
It was the same situation for the masked man opposite.
Both were in a one-versus-two fight, a three-way melee.
Others watching from the side wanted to intervene but couldn’t find a way in.
They fought for nearly five minutes, from the room to the corridor and back to the room, with no decisive outcome.
Qiao Yuxian’s drunken, bloodshot eyes were filled with killing intent, watching the masked person opposite. Her peripheral vision caught Feng Chuanbai swinging a fist, and she swiftly pulled out the chopstick tucked into her back waistband, using the momentum of Feng Chuanbai’s strike, her wrist flipped, and she stabbed the chopstick directly into Feng Chuanbai’s forearm.
In an instant, Feng Chuanbai lost strength.
Qiao Yuxian then delivered a series of kicks to the masked man, causing him to stagger back several paces.
She quickly pulled the chopstick from Feng Chuanbai’s arm, blood splattered, some landing on the side of her face.
Qiao Yuxian blinked slightly, and while pulling out the chopstick, she also dragged Feng Chuanbai behind her.
"Liu Zhou," Qiao Yuxian called out to him.
She had just noticed Liu Zhou approaching with her peripheral vision while fighting.
Liu Zhou swiftly moved forward, held down Feng Chuanbai, stripped off his jacket, and bound his hands behind his back, then pinned him on the ground by momentum.
The masked man opposite immediately moved forward to seize him again, as did Qiao Yuxian, landing a punch right away.
A gust of wind accompanied the punch, tearing through the air.
The masked man raised his hand to block, but was still forced a step back.
Yet he quickly counterattacked, clenching his fist and rushing forward, aiming a punch at Qiao Yuxian’s head.
Qiao Yuxian sidestepped, avoiding his punch, which landed on the wall.
Qiao Yuxian faintly felt the wall tremble slightly.
The force was immense; if it hit her head, it would probably be dented by now.
As his fist hit the wall, Qiao Yuxian wasted no time, swinging her elbow at his arm.
The man quickly evaded, and as Qiao Yuxian missed, she lashed out with a sideways kick.
The man blocked with his hand on his ribs, then grabbed Qiao Yuxian’s leg with a reflexive maneuver.
Qiao Yuxian’s leg was caught, but she used the leverage to rise, her other leg kicking directly into his abdomen.
The man retreated, releasing her.
After stabilizing herself, Qiao Yuxian moved forward, gaining speed, stepped on him, and leaped upward, hooking her knee around his neck, spinning around, and flinging him to the ground.
After landing, Qiao Yuxian rolled forward and quickly rose.
Because the man fell heavily to the ground, without a pause, continuing to rise for another counterattack.
Both seemed like they hadn’t faced a capable opponent in a long time.
Totally forgetting what they had come for, just focused on defeating the other.
They clashed again, neither yielding, each wanting to pin the other down forcefully.
After another round, the masked man’s mask was torn off by Qiao Yuxian, revealing Wan Ying’s face.
It was still that scholarly look, yet with eyes meant for the battlefield.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at his face, finding it somewhat familiar, but due to her unclear consciousness, she didn’t recognize him.
She continued attacking.
Wan Ying, having seen Qiao Yuxian only a few times, didn’t recognize her with her mask on and possessing such skill, he didn’t even consider her in his mind.
After exchanging a few more blows, Wan Ying gradually fell behind but showed no intention to leave or stop.
Qiao Yuxian’s blood was boiling, caught in this thrilling moment, there was no way she would halt.
Within less than a minute, Qiao Yuxian suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.
She kicked Wan Ying away, spinning around and punching backward, her fist was swiftly caught, and the other person’s hand moved at once.
As her right hand descended, forming a knife edge, Qiao Yuxian raised her gaze momentarily at the newcomer.
Her eyes reflected his figure, and Qiao Yuxian’s hand stopped just at the side of his neck, not striking down.
Gu Yanjing intercepted her hand slightly.
Wan Ying and Shang Chen, who was trailing behind Gu Yanjing, rushed towards Gu Yanjing, wanting to protect him.
But seeing Gu Yanjing hold off her hand and then doing nothing else, they stood by, slightly distant, ready to act anytime.
Qiao Yuxian’s blood-stained eyes went blank for a moment, then she furrowed her brows lightly, her voice soft, "Gu Yanjing?"
Upon hearing this voice, Shang Chen, not far behind Gu Yanjing, relaxed and took two steps back.
Wan Ying didn’t recognize the voice, but seeing their reaction, his eyes’ killing intent slowly diminished.
"Yes," Gu Yanjing observed the redness in her eyes and the blood splattered on her face, raised his hand, and pulled down her mask.
Upon hearing his response, she called out again, "Gu Yanjing."
"Yes."
Qiao Yuxian furrowed her brows once more, lowered her hand, stepping forward and leaning into him, whispering, "Gu Yanjing, my head really hurts, really hurts."
The voice was tiny, carrying hints of whining.
Shang Chen pretended not to hear, expressionlessly stepped back a couple of more feet.
Holding Feng Chuanbai, Liu Zhou heard his boss speaking in such a manner, coughed lightly, and looked down at his shoes.
How come his boss was becoming so sissy?
Feng Chuanbai was completely stupefied, ignoring the pain in his hands.
He could not comprehend how someone who battered him could make such a small sound.
Wan Ying finally recognized Qiao Yuxian’s voice, and he was even more stunned.
He... he... he, no matter how you put it, is... is...
Shang Chen was Gu Yanjing’s acknowledged top fighter.
Yet Shang Chen couldn’t beat him.
He walked with arrogance on M Continent.
But...
He couldn’t beat his own Mr. Gu’s wife.
He couldn’t beat Mr. Gu’s wife at all!
Wait!
Why is Mr. Gu’s wife so skilled!
Why didn’t anyone tell him?
No one told him!!!
