Chapter 317: 317: Parting on Bad Terms

Translator: 549690339

Su Man was known for her fiery temper, and having been harshly rebuked, she boiled over with anger and swiftly struck!

However, as the security team leader, her opponent was naturally skilled. One move followed another, with both women locked in a fierce fight!

Li Li was both anxious and furious, wanting to step in to mediate but fearing accidental injury. He bellowed, “Hold it! Stop! As the leader of the research group, I command you to stop!”

Unfortunately, as a newly installed leader, his words carried little weight. The two women ignored him, with their brawl intensifying!

“Aren’t you going to stop them?!” demanded a frantic Li Li, looking at Yan Qingwen and Lun Ang.

Lun Ang frowned, “You want me to hit a woman…?”

Yan Qingwen simply watched the melee, “Su Man should be able to handle this for now.”

Even Yan Qingwen decided to stay out of this, so Bai Youwei was even less likely to intervene, preferring to watch the chaos unfold.

“Hmm, Su Man is quite tough~” Bai Youwei surprisingly sincerely praised someone for once.

She had only seen Su Man use a whip in a game at the Dollhouse before. She hadn’t realized how excellent her fighting skills were. Even Bai Youwei, despite not being trained in combat, could tell that each of Su Man’s moves was precise and powerful, bearing no less than a man in her fierce attacks.

Naturally, the security team leader who was fighting with Su Man was also no pushover. Her moves were swift, decisive and similarly matched.

Su Man performed a sweeping leg kick, but her opponent nimbly evaded it and reached out to grab Su Man’s shoulder!

Su Man closed in using the force and quickly turned around to land a powerful punch!

The opponent dodged sharply, the punch grazing past a few strands of her short hair! She then caught Su Man’s arm and forcefully twisted it behind her!

Su Man seethed with anger, biting her lip and struggled to break free, yet her face suddenly turned pale and she broke out in cold sweat!

“What’s wrong with her?” Bai Youwei was perplexed. Su Man had been holding her ground just moments ago, how had she suddenly slipped into a disadvantageous position?

Things deteriorated rapidly, with Su Man getting punched several times, before being pinned against the wall, unable to move!

“Su Man injured her right hand.” Zhu Shu comments, with furrowed brows.

Clap!  Clap!

Yan Qingwen clapped twice, and chuckled coldly, “Indeed, impressive skills for a security team leader. You have certainly opened our eyes. May I know your name?”

The short-haired woman let go of Su Man and replied icily, “Yu Yaqing. If you wish to file a complaint, feel free.”

Zhu Shu helped Su Man up, noticing that her swollen right hand had been injured. Zhu Shu turned to Yan Qingwen with concern, “Brother Yan, Su Man is injured.”

Seeing Su Man’s injuries, Li Li chastised her, “Look at you! You knew your hand wasn’t healed, but you still rushed forward to fight! You knew you couldn’t beat her!”

“Who said I couldn’t beat her!” Su Man glared at him, “If it weren’t for…”

She bit her lip, and didn’t finish her sentence. Glaring at Yu Yaqing, she lowered her head reluctantly and retreated behind Yan Qingwen alongside Zhu Shu, looking visibly upset.

Yan Qingwen ‘s voice was calmly nonchalant, “As for filing a complaint, that’s a bit too much. We did intrude into the conference center without an access pass. That was our mistake. Now that our companion is injured and not fit for the banquet… Well then, sorry to have troubled you, we should take our leave.”

Having said his piece, Yan Qingwen turned to leave.

While he appeared polite in his words, when he truly got angry there was no room for negotiation.

Li Li hurried to catch up, “Brother Yan! Brother Yan! Please don’t leave. Professor Song will be done with the meeting soon!… Where are you going?”

As Li Li was about to leave, Bai Youwei scowled, “Li Li, didn’t you say you were going to take me to meet Shen Mo?”

Li Li retorted irritably, “Who has the time for you!”

Bai Youwei’s face turned cold instantly, livid she roared, “Are you playing me?!”

A sudden flash of blue-violet light appeared!

Like a rapidly flying light bird, its wings crashed into Li Li, knocking him flat. He convulsed on the ground!

Gurgling sounds came out of his mouth, “Erk Erk Erk Erk Erk…”
