"Bam bam bam..."
The heavy security door shook back and forth from the pounding, and the sensors inside the door were already screaming loudly.
Wei Zhenzhen crossed her arms over her chest, angrily channeling energy at the door. She had already decided that she would give Gao Xuan a good beating when she saw him.
Of course, she wouldn't do it herself.
In the ancient ruins, Gao Xuan once protected her and Xu Yin. Xu Yin later said Gao Xuan's spiritual power was strong.
Also, Yun Qingshang, who could suppress Wang Hong'en in a fight; her martial arts were really impressive.
That's why this time Wei Zhenzhen brought along a bunch of friends to help her, all people she usually hung out with.
Among them were a few very skilled experts. Handling Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang wouldn't be a problem.
Wei Zhenzhen didn't actually know how strong Wang Hong'en was, nor did she understand the brilliance of Gao Xuan blocking the Dragon Roar move.
Not even Xu Yin had a standard for measurement, so she couldn't make an accurate judgment.
Wei Zhenzhen didn't care about these things either; their group had wealth and power. Could they not deal with Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang? What a joke!
"Hit it hard, smash it hard!" Wei Zhenzhen cheered them on.
Zhao Yunlong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Zhenzhen. We brothers will definitely help you vent this anger today. That kid dares to play tricks on our Zhenzhen, unaware of what's good for him."
Zhao Yunlong, handsome with a deliberately tanned bronze complexion, was full of sunny vitality. His ears were studded with diamond earrings, and his outfit was very trendy.
Among this group of handsome men and women, Zhao Yunlong already stood out in terms of image and temperament.
Wei Zhenzhen gave Zhao Yunlong an approving smile, though she usually couldn't be bothered with him. Despite Zhao Yunlong's handsome appearance, she particularly disliked his greasy demeanor.
The Zhao Family's company in Mingjing City was merely second-tier, far behind Yuanlong Company. Zhao Yunlong's constant pandering to her had impure motives.
Although Wei Zhenzhen was pampered and a bit naive, she was certainly not stupid. When someone like Zhao Yunlong cracked a smile in front of her, she could immediately discern his thoughts.
This Zhao Yunlong was one of the better fighters in her circle; a fine attack dog, she would use him when needed without hesitation. Using Zhao Yunlong still made him grateful to her.
Nevertheless, Wei Zhenzhen would never like someone like Zhao Yunlong.
Not as wealthy as her, not as intelligent, not good-looking, and filled with greasily slick energy. Just spending a few minutes with this guy already made Wei Zhenzhen feel a bit nauseous.
Wei Zhenzhen hurriedly pulled Jiang Xuejun, who was beside her, and said, "Sister Jun, you definitely have to help me later."
Jiang Xuejun said with amusement, "I'm here, so naturally I'll help. Don't worry, I'm never polite to scumbags!"
Jiang Xuejun had very distinguished features, yet possessed the unique gentleness of a woman. With a head full of small dreadlocks, her height reached a full 1.8 meters.
Her skin was also dark, but it was a wheat color. Her arms and legs were long, muscles tight and well-proportioned. Over a green short-sleeved shirt, she wore a black leather jacket, with pants and combat boots below.
Among the group of outstanding young men and women, once Jiang Xuejun stood there, her wildness, slightly rebellious, overshadowed everyone else.
Compared to her, Zhao Yunlong seemed even more oily and flimsy. Not to mention the others.
Only Wei Zhenzhen's looks could barely stand against the fiercely spirited Jiang Xuejun.
Wei Zhenzhen also held Jiang Xuejun in high regard; when it came to family background, the other wasn't inferior to her. As for abilities, the other left her far behind.
In their small circle, Jiang Xuejun, only a year older than Wei Zhenzhen, was undoubtedly the big sister.
Jiang Xuejun usually didn't get involved in their affairs; it was only after Wei Zhenzhen cried about being tricked by a scumbag that Jiang Xuejun agreed to help.
Jiang Xuejun was also a bit curious about what kind of scumbag could deceive this clever girl Wei Zhenzhen. Furthermore, Wei Zhenzhen was clearly still tied up with past affections. The way she was storming up this time, it wasn't certain she'd actually do anything to the guy.
In this circle, Jiang Xuejun felt Wei Zhenzhen was the only one worth befriending; she didn't want her little sister to suffer or be deceived.
With Jiang Xuejun present, everyone felt more confident. They pounded the door even harder.
The door silently opened, and Zhao Yunlong, who had been pounding on the door, threw a punch that missed and went straight for Yun Qingshang.
Actually, Zhao Yunlong could have pulled his punch, but he wanted to teach the opponent a lesson. They were there to cause trouble anyway.
With the power their families wielded, never mind injuring or crippling someone—it wouldn't be an issue even if they killed someone.
However, Zhao Yunlong also noticed that the one who opened the door was an exquisite maiden, her aura cold and noble, with an unapproachable feel.
Seeing the other was pretty, Zhao Yunlong felt sympathetic and didn't actually want to hurt her.
This punch then pulled back a bit of force as it aimed at her chest.
He didn't intend to harm her, just take the chance to cop a feel. Since they were here seeking vengeance, he had no qualms about being the bad guy.
The one opening the door, Yun Qingshang, instantly understood Zhao Yunlong's little scheme, finding him both dull and silly.
This punch was loose and full of openings. She could kill him twenty times in an instant.
However, Gao Xuan had repeatedly warned her, absolutely never to openly kill using this identity.
This legal identity did not come easily and must be cherished. Other fools' miserable lives were worthless, not worth exchanging her legal status for.
Yun Qingshang loathed the manner of their door pounding even more than the disgusting attempt to take advantage.
She performed a kick, raising her right leg, her calf snapping through the knee. Her heel struck Zhao Yunlong's jaw directly.
This kick from Yun Qingshang was only with two parts force, yet the jaw is nerve-dense, especially connecting to the vagus nerve in the cerebellum. The severe shock could impact the nerve, damaging the cerebellum's control over balance organs, causing dizziness and unconsciousness.
Watching the tall and mighty Zhao Yunlong, his eyes rolled back as he collapsed unconscious right there.
Some people either didn't react in time or didn't want to help, so Zhao Yunlong slammed hard onto the marble floor.
Everyone watching thought it looked painful. Wei Zhenzhen even covered her small pink mouth with her hand, afraid she'd burst out laughing.
Gotta say, Yun Qingshang's kick was really beautiful, and Zhao Yunlong's fall was even more spectacular.
Zhao Yunlong did have friends, and immediately someone went over to help him up, cursing, "You're looking for trouble, huh, daring to mess with Brother Long…"
The guy stopped cursing when he looked up and saw Yun Qingshang.
Beautiful women always get preferential treatment. More so, Yun Qingshang was the extraordinary type of beauty. Compared to that, how important are friends?
A bunch of guys were staring at Yun Qingshang in a daze, even Jiang Xuejun was a bit surprised at how outstanding Yun Qingshang's presence was.
Even though Wei Zhenzhen was beautiful, she was completely overshadowed by Yun Qingshang's cool and pure aura. And that kick was really amazing, what great martial arts.
Jiang Xuejun felt like sighing; such a lovely girl, how could she be living with a jerk?
She spoke kindly to Yun Qingshang, "Sister Yun Qingshang, we're here to see Gao Xuan. It's not about you, don't be afraid."
The group all had a strange look, glancing at the unconscious Zhao Yunlong, feeling a bit more sympathy for the guy.
Yun Qingshang stepped aside to make way, "He's at the rooftop pool."
Yun Qingshang was so accommodating, which surprised Jiang Xuejun and the others.
Wei Zhenzhen was still a bit unhappy, "Gao Xuan's been so good to you!"
Jiang Xuejun gently pulled Wei Zhenzhen and smiled at Yun Qingshang, "Thank you."
The group left two people to watch Zhao Yunlong while the rest followed Jiang Xuejun and Wei Zhenzhen to the rooftop terrace.
Yun Qingshang closed the door and returned to her room. She's not interested in Gao Xuan's troublesome affairs.
Besides, this group of people all had weak martial arts; even if they were fully armed, they posed no threat to Gao Xuan. She didn't need to watch over them.
Wei Zhenzhen saw Yun Qingshang head back to her room and felt even more indignant, "This woman is really cold and heartless."
Jiang Xuejun chuckled and said, "Why are you standing up for a jerk?"
"It's… it's between Gao Xuan and me. But she saw Gao Xuan in trouble and didn't help, she's really no good."
Wei Zhenzhen argued.
"From the sound of it, you're still worried about the jerk. Later, when we deal with him, don't go pleading for him."
Jiang Xuejun reminded her, "We're here to help, Zhenzhen. Don't let us be the bad guys for nothing."
Wei Zhenzhen felt a bit embarrassed, coquettishly saying, "Of course not. You all can do whatever you need to him, don't hesitate."
The men were rolling up their sleeves, "Don't worry, we'll definitely stick up for Zhenzhen."
"Break his legs, let's see how cocky he gets!"
"Isn't he supposed to be good-looking? Let's smash his face flat!"
Wei Zhenzhen was getting a bit nervous; what if these guys really hurt Gao Xuan badly?
She didn't know how to dissuade them, so she just chuckled awkwardly.
Jiang Xuejun found it amusing; Wei Zhenzhen really seemed to care about Gao Xuan, she couldn't bear to do anything to him.
She raised her voice and said, "Everyone take it easy; we're here to stand up for Zhenzhen, not to kill or start a fire. Teach him a lesson and make him apologize to Zhenzhen, that's enough."
"Alright, we'll follow Sister Jun's lead."
"Sister Jun makes the call."
Jiang Xuejun didn't hang out often with this group, but her straightforward and generous nature, along with her strong abilities, made her the leader among them.
Wei Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Xuejun with a bit of envy, wishing she could command such deference too. Unfortunately, she lacked both the panache and prestige.
Luckily, Jiang Xuejun was considerate and set the tone, preventing any serious harm to Gao Xuan.
The group reached the rooftop terrace and spotted Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan was wearing swim trunks, his face submerged in the water, floating motionlessly in the pool. He looked like a corpse on water.
"Gao Xuan, stop playing dead!"
"Kid, the lords have arrived!"
Several guys shouted around the pool, their attitude extremely arrogant.
The problem was that Gao Xuan in the pool remained silent and unresponsive, as if he were really dead.
The group yelled loudly, but none wanted to get into the water.
In front of Wei Zhenzhen and Jiang Xuejun, being drenched would be too embarrassing.
Anyway, Gao Xuan couldn't escape from inside the pool; no matter how long he could hold his breath.
The group waited for a good ten minutes, even the unconscious Zhao Yunlong had woken and run up, but Gao Xuan still floated in the pool.
It had been so long without a peep from Gao Xuan that even Wei Zhenzhen began to panic; could Gao Xuan have gotten into trouble? Did he commit suicide out of love for her?
