by Need_More_SleepVolume 2 + Chapter 35: Bai Yuxuan’s Skills Are Superior
“This is private property. No unauthorized personnel allowed. Please leave,” the burly man at the front said, brandishing his club as a warning to Bai Yuxuan.
“If you want me to leave, hand over Ouyang Qianxue first!” Bai Yuxuan replied coldly.
“Hmph, there’s no one called Ouyang Qianxue here. If you don’t leave now, don’t blame us for being rude.”
“Oh? I’d like to see just how ‘rude’ you can be.” Saying this, Bai Yuxuan didn’t retreat but instead took a step forward. Seeing that Bai Yuxuan wasn’t heeding the warning, one of the large men charged, swinging his wooden club, intending to teach Bai Yuxuan a lesson. However, Bai Yuxuan stepped forward with a side kick, snapping the club in two and kicking the man squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying into a shipping container.
“Everyone, get her!” Seeing their companion taken down, several burly men rushed at Bai Yuxuan all at once.
At this point, excluding the one already down, seven men were converging on Bai Yuxuan. But, Bai Yuxuan’s legwork was exceptionally fierce, high side kicks, spinning side kicks, high hook kicks, her moves were fast and ruthless. In the blink of an eye, three of the men were knocked to the ground.
Seeing their fallen comrades, the remaining men felt varying degrees of fear towards Bai Yuxuan. Their actions began to show hesitation. Seizing this moment of indecision, Bai Yuxuan slid forward, closing the distance to one man. Before he could react, a straight punch connected with his jaw, felling another.
The final three men, witnessing Bai Yuxuan’s ferocity, retreated fearfully. Bai Yuxuan advanced with a look of contempt. As she passed one of the men, he saw his chance and swung his club at her head. Bai Yuxuan bent forward, driving a backward elbow into the man’s abdomen. The powerful impact made him vomit acid.
Seeing this, the other two also attempted sneak attacks. But Bai Yuxuan’s left hand shot out in an “extreme hand” strike while her right leg delivered a side kick, taking both down simultaneously.
“Truly worthy of Young Master Bai! To take down eight men in an instant.” The voice of Lin Tianyu came through the factory’s PA system.
“But the warm-up is over. Time to increase the difficulty.” No sooner had Lin Tianyu spoken than dozens more men emerged from various corners.
At that moment,
“Bai Yuxuan! Didn’t I tell you to keep your distance from me? Lin Tianyu won’t hurt me. Get out of here now… Mmmph!” Ouyang Qianxue’s shout came over the speakers, but before he could finish, his mouth was muffled.
“If you say another word, I’ll turn you into a little kitten with this fruit knife in my hand!” Lin Tianyu’s threatening voice followed.
“You heard what was just said. If you want her standing before you unharmed, come to the break room at the center of the factory now!” With that, the speakers fell silent.
Meanwhile, in the break room on the other side, Lin Tianyu slowly removed his hand from Ouyang Qianxue’s mouth.
“You’re insane! Sending so many people against Bai Yuxuan, aren’t you afraid he’ll get seriously hurt?”
“Oh? Seems you’re really concerned about him. I don’t get it. What’s so great about Bai Yuxuan? Is it just his strength? Someone as cold and emotionless as him could never bring anyone happiness! I’m different. I realized long ago that the path Bai Yuxuan walks is an endless, bloody road. So I chose a more comfortable, more sensible path.”
“You’re wrong,” Ouyang Qianxue said calmly.
“Everyone has a vulnerable side, and Bai Yuxuan is no exception. You say he’s strong because you only see his exterior. But deep down, he has a fragile side too. He also sheds tears alone in secret…”
“Interesting. Go on.”
“Bai Yuxuan’s personality is somewhat aloof, but that’s a result of his family upbringing. Since meeting me, he herself has been striving to change, to improve, to build closer relationships with others. It’s just that I…” At this point, Ouyang Qianxue lowered his head in guilt.
“Nonsense! Don’t I know Bai Yuxuan? Someone like him can’t change even if he wants to!” Lin Tianyu said dismissively.
“Aren’t you just a clown who likes to make excuses and give up on effort? Someone like you has no right to comment on Bai Yuxuan.”
“What did you say? I gave up? I simply chose a wiser path than Bai Yuxuan. Rather than being a puppet controlled by the family, it’s better to be a carefree, willful young master living comfortably.”
“That just proves you’re a coward. Bai Yuxuan is fighting hard for that slim chance to change his destiny, not deceiving himself and willingly sinking into depravity like you.”
“Shut up!” Lin Tianyu roared angrily.
“Dare to say I’m worse than that robot Bai Yuxuan? Have you forgotten your current situation?”
With that, Lin Tianyu began stroking Ouyang Qianxue’s face.
“It seems you need a lesson. A beauty as adorable as you, I can’t wait to taste you. I bet that cold machine Bai Yuxuan hasn’t even touched you, has he? I really want to see the expression on his face after struggling his way here, only to find his girlfriend already taken by someone else.”
“Is that so? You really have a twisted taste.” A cold voice came from behind Lin Tianyu.
“Bai Yuxuan? How did you get here so fast?” Lin Tianyu stared in shock at Bai Yuxuan behind him.
“That’s because the people you hired are nothing but trash to me. Cleaning up trash doesn’t take long.”
“Hmph, don’t get cocky. The moment you came here, you already lost. After all, you missed the Bai family heir assessment. Now you’re just an ordinary person, while I am the Lin family heir. I’ve surpassed you.”
“Oh? Is that so?” A faint smile played on Bai Yuxuan’s lips.
“Do you have a clone or something?”
“Haha, you could say that.”
Meanwhile, at the Bai family assembly hall, a call suddenly came in.
“What? You’re saying Bai Yuxuan is stuck in traffic and can’t arrive on time? Then she forfeits her heir eligibility. The family heir interview must be attended in person,” one of Bai Yuxuan’s uncles said.
“Does the interview necessarily have to be in person?” Bai Yuxuan’s secretary, Xiao Liu, said over the phone.
“What do you mean?”
“The young master has initiated a remote video conference from a nearby hotel. The effect is the same as being present in person.”
“This…?” Bai Yuxuan’s uncles looked at each other.
“I approve! It’s an unforeseen circumstance, after all,” Bai Yuxuan’s grandfather said.
Thus, Bai Yuxuan’s image was projected onto a screen via a projector, answering the elders’ questions through video. The entire process went smoothly, leaving those uncles who wanted to pull her down speechless.
After the video call ended, Xiao Liu in the hotel room let out a long sigh.
“I never imagined the young master’s intellect had reached such a level, predicting the exact questions those old foxes wanted to ask!”
In truth, Bai Yuxuan wasn’t at the hotel. The footage was entirely pre-recorded the day before. Xiao Liu simply switched between the recorded clips, citing network instability as the reason for the transitions, based on the questions asked by the Bai family elders.
