Looking Grim, Someone’s Coming Out

“Ow… What? I wasn’t wrong… Chu Ning, your pseudonym is Still Bloom. Still Bloom… Still Bloom… It sounds just like a flower. That’s tackier!” Chu Xiangnan was relentless and dragged Chu Ning into it.

This made the girl fume. Springing up promptly, she had only stopped after thwacking Chu Xiangnan’s head dozens of times. The poor boy gaped his mouth in grievance but ultimately was not bold enough to say more.

“Yun Jian, where are you going?” Jiang Weiwei noticed Yun Jian’s course of action while Chu Ning and Chu Xiangnan bicker.

The fact that Yun Jian was currently heading out pulled the question from Jiang Weiwei involuntarily.

Jiang Weiwei was no more like how she used to be. She had tucked away her initial haughtiness even toward the rest of Team Monarch.

Some people would not realize their mistake for life when they did something wrong while some people were quick to notice given the chance and correct themselves once they discerned that they had erred.

Jiang Weiwei was clearly the latter. In the beginning, she had been proud because of her military family background and her distinctly outstanding ability. When Yun Jian came into the picture, however, she registered that her previous behavior had been wrong.

Yun Jian was better than her but it stood out that Yun Jian had never been hubristic. She had never showcased what she could do just to show off or for similar reasons. She carried herself in a low profile but she worked effectively. This was Yun Jian’s principle.

Yun Jian’s work ethics affected Jiang Weiwei visibly. If Yun Jian who was much stronger than her was this low profile, on what ground was Jiang Weiwei acting high and mighty?

That was Jiang Weiwei’s strength, redressing her faults. It was like how she could maintain being the most capable out of the initial team; she corrected her faults the moment she noticed her mistakes when she trained. This trait of hers came hand in hand with her competence.

“I’ll take a look outside,” Yun Jian, who was already at the dome door of the martial club, made a half turn to tilt her pretty face back and replied Jiang Weiwei.

Her long eyelashes fluttered with a blink when she raised her brows with a smile. “The police siren probably won’t stop if I don’t go out there.”

Everyone in the martial club had noticed by now that there was a fleet of police cars outside, having obviously come to capture these criminals whom Yun Jian had killed.

A police officer was speaking to them repeatedly through a megaphone from the outside of the martial club. “Release the hostages, surrender immediately. The police offer a lenient penalty as long as you let go of the hostages!”

Barricading the martial club, yet being too cautious to do anything since the black-clothed men had taken hostages, the police were parched shouting into the megaphone time and again.

They had requested backup from their superiors as well. The officer of the city’s Advanced Special Forces, Ai Guoxun, rushed to the scene shortly after he received the support notice.

Finding out that Battling Dragons, which he had trained in earnest, were held hostage here in the martial arts club, Ai Guoxun who was informed had to come even if he did not want to.

A while later, even Ge Junjian who was resting in the hotel scurried to the scene upon receiving the news.

A police officer who had been directing the venue’s order and traffic briefed both men who had just arrived. “Those criminals have firearms with them! They ran into the martial club as a result of being pursued by us. There are plenty of hostages inside and we’ve been informed by those around the vicinity that they heard gunshots. Things are looking grim for the people inside…”

“Someone’s coming out! God, it’s a young girl!” A police officer who had been watching the martial club entrance screeched pointing at the door.

Startled, everyone directed their eyes to said entrance.

A young girl looking exuberant with a high ponytail was seen waving at them with a smile as she stood at the entrance.
