After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 493 Where Are You, Miss Jiang, Who Has Quite Principles

Li Zhi parried the combined attacks of Zhu Heng and Lin Shuangshuang. After only a few exchanges, she could tell that one of them was very experienced in combat, while the other, although somewhat rusty, was incredibly strong. She couldn't even take another step forward and was even forced back several steps.

Watching helplessly as Jiang Hanying's sword left a long bloody gash on the master's cheek, she no longer cared about being punished for acting on her own initiative. Despite taking a punch, she resolutely pressed the call button on her wrist.

Within seconds of pressing the pager button, footsteps could be heard from all around.

The summoned figures immediately joined the battle.

Zhu Huai was being suppressed by Li Chengxiao, but finally his help arrived, allowing him to catch his breath.

He took a few steps back, rubbing the spot where he had been punched, and couldn't help but grimace in pain. It really hurt!
Although he knows some fighting skills, he is ultimately a researcher, and fighting is really not his forte!
If I had known I would be punished, I wouldn't have chased after him.

However, if they hadn't caught up, they wouldn't have seen the scene of Miss Jiang drawing her sword and confronting the boss without saying a word.

Indeed, there is no gain without loss.

After telling Que Lu and Li Jingmo to "hide well," Que Bingchen also stepped forward to join the battle without hesitation.

They had the upper hand just now, but now that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, they are outnumbered. Moreover, he saw that the reinforcements seemed not to feel any pain when they were punched or kicked, and their expressions didn't even change.

Something's definitely not right!
Li Jingmo and Que Lu pulled the child back a few steps, finding a spot where they wouldn't be affected but could still see the entire battle, and squatted down again.

They both knew that the current battle was beyond their control; protecting themselves and the child was helping their teammates.

Li Zhi caught a glimpse of the three figures—two adults and one child—squatting in the corner out of the corner, and quickly gave a look to one of her subordinates who had come over to help.

After a moment's hesitation, his subordinates obediently stepped back, bypassing the most intense scene, and silently approached.

It was the child who first noticed the person sneaking up on him, and instinctively reached for the metal bracelet on his hand, aimed it, pursed his lips, and pressed the switch.

Que Lu and Li Jingmo then noticed the child's movements. They turned their heads at the same time and saw a person dressed entirely in black who was less than three meters away from them.

Fortunately, the child's anesthetic needle had hit the other person's neck.

But before they could even feel relieved, they saw that the person seemed completely unaffected. He simply paused for a moment and then approached again.

"What happened? Did they forget to put in the anesthetic?"

"Would I make such a stupid mistake?"

It takes less than three seconds to walk over a distance of three meters.

The two men had already silently drawn their weapons as they spoke.

"It can't be inserted."

"It can't be cut open. What material is this garment made of?"

"It's over!"

Seeing that her men had already subdued the man, Li Zhi quickly stepped back and shouted, "Jiang Hanying, stop! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Jiang Hanying was just about to make a symmetrical cut on the face in front of her when she heard the sound and paused. She first glanced in the direction of her cheap master and, seeing that nothing was wrong, then noticed the man in black standing behind Li Jingmo and Que Lu.

The child was lifted into the air in one go.

The three faces all seemed to say: Sorry, we're useless!

She sheathed her sword immediately. Fortunately, she had already vented her anger, but the asymmetrical wounds were still somewhat imperfect.

Forget it, she's too lazy to look at that face anyway.

As soon as she stopped, the others, having forced back their opponents, also decisively withdrew.

The intense battle came to an abrupt halt.

Yuan Qingzhuo raised his hand, and the men in black who had come to reinforce him bowed on the spot before quickly retreating, just as they had come.

Immediately afterwards, a waitress brought in a number of people, who quickly began to clean up the private room, which had been thoroughly damaged for the first time.

The private room was quickly cleaned up again, but it looked a bit empty.

That's alright, another group of people has already brought in tables and chairs to set up the place. As soon as the first group finished cleaning up, they started setting it up right away.

The entire private room hall was restored to its original state in no time.

The crowd standing to the side: "..."

This efficiency is simply amazing!

The tea gurgled, and the aged white tea that Jiang Hanying had ordered was brewed again. Even the tea snacks she had eaten earlier were served in a fresh, identical plate.

The entire hall seemed to instantly rewind to before Jiang Hanying made her move. Li Zhi hurried back carrying a first-aid kit, only to see her master with a bleeding face, yet seemingly unconcerned, smiling as he looked in Jiang Hanying's direction, "Have you had your fun now?"

She paused in her steps.

I realized I hadn't thought things through enough before.

This is more than just giving the entire Lan Palace to Jiang Hanying as a toy; even he himself is... insane!
Not only her, but everyone else who had returned to their seats couldn't help but take a quiet breath.

The entire hall was ruined, not to mention the waste of obviously expensive furniture, decorations, tea sets, and tea leaves. The worst part is that the person was also disfigured.

They weren't angry at all, and instead asked if you had fun.

Abnormal!

Jiang Hanying wiped the sword clean and put it back at her waist. Hearing the sound, she looked up and was unusually speechless.

Why does this guy seem even more excited after getting a beating?

I simply can't understand this kind of quirk.

Then, seeing Li Zhi wearing that tattered cheongsam that was almost slit up to her waist, rushing over without even changing, and kneeling on the newly laid carpet carefully to apply medicine to this guy, I couldn't help but remind her: "Don't apply it, the medicine is useless, it's a waste to apply it, you might as well go back and change your clothes first."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi, who was holding a disinfectant cotton swab, paused in her actions.

Yuan Qingzhuo took the gauze from her other hand, wiped it on her face, glanced down at her, and said, "Get out."

Li Zhi picked up her medical kit, glanced at Jiang Hanying with a complicated expression, pinched the hem of her cheongsam, and hurriedly left.

After watching her leave, Jiang Hanying turned her gaze back to Yuan Qingzhuo, who was still waiting for her response: "Then tell me, where are you?"

This question left everyone present, except for Li Chengxiao, completely bewildered.

The person is right in front of you, why are you asking where they are?

Isn't that a contradiction?
But what surprised them was being asked about the other side's reaction.

Yuan Qingzhuo's ever-smiling expression, which had been fixed on Jiang Hanying, finally faltered. "You knew everything?"

Although it was a question, it was phrased with certainty.

Jiang Hanying ate a bite of snacks and drank a sip of tea, replenishing the energy she had used up while quietly watching the scene unfold.

He watched as the face before him relaxed completely, his eyebrows and eyes softening, and he didn't care at all that the wounds on his face reopened. "Then come find me. Once you find me, you can do whatever you want with me."

Jiang Hanying finished her snacks in a few bites, then picked up the tea that had cooled down a bit and drank it all in one gulp. She put it on the table, stood up, and said, "Playing hide-and-seek, huh? Well, you just wait."

Yuan Qingzhuo smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After making those harsh words, Jiang Hanying turned to look at her cheap master who had also gotten up.

Li Chengxiao looked at her eyes and asked, "Tired?"

"Kind of."

"Let's go then."

Que Bingchen and Zhu Heng exchanged a glance, and then the others stood up as well.

"Mr. Yuan, farewell."

"See you."

The scene appeared harmonious, but both sides knew very well that the next time they met, they certainly wouldn't be able to sit and drink tea together like they were now.

When Li Zhi hurriedly changed her clothes and returned, she bumped into Jiang Hanying, who was coming out of the house, at the door.

The hem of their riding skirts swept past their ankles, and both of them paused simultaneously.

It was Li Zhi who spoke first, her tone returning to how she had sounded when they first met, "Miss Jiang, are you leaving?"

Jiang Hanying nodded to her: "Okay, go back to sleep, we have to film tomorrow."

Li Zhi: "...Miss Jiang is really serious about her work."

"There's nothing I can do, I've already taken the money."

Li Zhi: "..."

That's really quite principled!
