Shen Yi: "..."
The moment she saw Shen Wenta, Shen Yi really wanted to fight them to the death.
Is there an end to this?
She glared at him fiercely and pulled Sasa away in another direction.
Are they all here to block her path?
Shen Yi simply decided to change her route again.
Shen Wenta never expected that after not seeing her for so long, he would be completely ignored the moment he rushed over to see her.
"Did I give you permission to leave?"
Shen Wenta spoke up out of nowhere.
Every word carried a condescending, matter-of-fact arrogance.
Shen Yi couldn't understand it.
Why did Shen Wenta sound like a sinister villain every time he opened his mouth?
Sasa's heart, however, skipped a beat.
She noticed the people behind Shen Wenta.
There were about a dozen of them, all uniformly dressed in black combat suits, with guns holstered at their waists.
The moment Shen Wenta's voice faded, those men raised their guns in unison, the dark muzzles pointing uniformly in the direction of the two girls.
Sasa's fingers tightened subconsciously. Her lips moved, and her voice trembled, "He... he has a gun..."
Shen Yi, however, wasn't afraid.
She let out a cold sneer.
Pulling Sasa along, she swaggered around, ready to make a run for the exit.
She completely ignored Shen Wenta.
Shen Wenta stood frozen in place, his expression stiffening for two seconds.
Then, his beautiful face twisted slightly.
"Shen Yi!" Watching her turn and walk away, Shen Wenta's voice suddenly rose several pitches. His facade of cold arrogance shattered completely, leaving only the exasperation of being ignored:
"Are you ignoring me?"
Shen Yi made a face at him, the action extremely practiced.
Through years of their habit of bickering, it accurately conveyed a single message:
I'm ignoring you, just to piss you off.
In a few swift moves, she ran out of sight.
Shen Wenta took a deep breath, his expression unreadable.
Seeing this, a quick-witted subordinate beside him was just about to raise his hand and pull the trigger, taking the initiative to help his employer catch her.
But the young man spoke again coldly, an undisguised gloominess on his handsome face: "If you hurt her, you all die."
"..."
Their hearts immediately skipped a beat, and they hastily lowered their guns.
"Catch her," Shen Wenta commanded again.
"..."
So hard to please.
These words perfectly captured the inner thoughts of the working men present.
But what could they do? The boss was the absolute authority.
They decisively abandoned the idea of shooting. The black figures quickly spread out in the corridor, forming a semi-circular encirclement, and flanked toward Shen Yi's direction.
Sasa was being dragged along as she ran. She looked back at the dark figures getting closer and closer, her voice tight, "They're catching up."
"I know."
She suddenly stopped at a corner.
"Wait for me here."
"What are you going to do?" Sasa's eyes widened.
Shen Yi was tired of running.
Seeing that they had no intention of shooting and were all coming at her bare-handed, she immediately waved her hand, signaling Sasa to stand aside.
A few men approached from the front, while the others blocked her retreat from the sides.
The young girl's green, curly hair piled up fluffily around her ears, looking quite eye-catching.
The first man's fist came whistling through the air.
He figured it was just a girl, and knocking her down with one punch would get the job done.
Using a lighter force would probably keep his employer from getting angry at him.
Shen Yi leaned back, her upper body tilting backward at an unbelievable angle. The wind from the punch brushed past her. As she dodged, she pushed off with her legs, sweeping her right leg toward his temple.
A sharp gust of wind swept by. The man's reaction wasn't slow either; he jerked his head to the side, avoiding the strike.
The move missed.
Shen Yi didn't linger in the fight. Using the momentum of her backward lean, she flipped her body backward.
The second man closed in from her left side, moving surprisingly fast, trying to grab her shoulder.
At the same time, the third man filled the gap from the front, throwing a clean and crisp straight punch.
Shen Yi immediately reached back and grabbed the nearest man's wrist, pressing it down. As the man let go in pain, she kicked him away.
She quickly bent backwards, dodging the strike from the front.
Then, supporting herself with her right hand on the ground, her body went airborne for a moment. Using her core strength, she wrapped her legs around the neck of the nearest man.
Using gravity, Shen Yi twisted her body. The man was thrown by the momentum, crashing into his comrades who were just preparing to lunge forward from behind.
"Bang—"
The three of them were simultaneously caught by the massive impact, the collision of bones producing a dull thud that made one's teeth ache.
Shen Yi performed another light and swift backflip, landing steadily. Her green curls spread out and gathered again, like a cat landing silently.
Sasa's mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't make a sound.
Holy crap.
The rest of the mercenaries behind them fell silent.
Looking at their comrades who had all been knocked to the ground in a split second, they thought of Shen Wenta's earlier warning.
Hurt her?
Who among them could actually hurt her???
Sasa covered her mouth. "Badass."
She once again recalibrated her estimate of her friend's fighting skills.
One Shen Yi was worth a hundred Chen Yus.
Shen Yi had no time to listen to her friend's compliments. Seeing that they didn't dare to pursue anymore, she grabbed Sasa and continued to sprint wildly.
She looked calm.
But in reality, she was dizzy and feeling a bit numb.
Having encountered three people in a row, Shen Yi seriously suspected that these scumbags had teamed up just to mess with her.
Can they just stop coming??
How many more are going to show up?
"Yi, is he your enemy too?" Sasa, trailing behind, asked a soul-searching question.
"Yes," Shen Yi replied. "...He is my enemy too."
The woman, panting heavily, grabbed her hand and asked sincerely, "Shen Yi, I want to know, why is it that along our entire journey, you have no friends, only enemies??"
Just what kind of terrible interpersonal relationships did Shen Yi have??
Shen Yi wanted to ask why herself.
Is the whole family having a team-building event today?
"I won't have a fourth enemy, trust me, Sasa."
