Lu Jia’er had hardly finished her sentence and before Jin Xiangdong could react, Jin Xianglan had begun to fight back. She turned around to free herself from the position of being taken and punched Lu Jia’er’s chest with her elbow. Lu Jia’er felt her chest aching. She was about to strike back when Jin Xianglan s.n.a.t.c.hed her gun away and landed a blow on her forehead.
Jin Xianglan must have faked the scene to make it seem like she had been abducted easily. Based on the way she fought back, no ordinary person could match her skill.
This martial scene between the two women troubled Jin Xianglan. Between his sister and his girlfriend, he had to worry about each of them from one moment to the next.
“Sister!” Jin Xiangdong shouted at Jin Xianglan immediately.
Jin Xianglan did not respond to Jin Xiangdong. She was busy talking to Lu Jia’er. “This is textbook behavior of doing things the hard way!”
Lu Jia’er glared at her and directly retorted, “Shoot me if you have the guts!”
Jin Xianglan sneered. She pushed the gun closer to Lu Jia’er’s head. “I suggest that you don’t be haughty because of his love and indulgence! Behave and follow me to the conference room!”
Lu Jia’er glared at her, filled with rage. She clenched her hand into a fist and suddenly struck Jin Xianglan’s abdomen with a solid punch. Lu Jia’er then raised her right arm and hit Jin Xianglan’s hand on the gun.
Due to the pain, Jin Xianglan winced; but her reaction was fast. She rose to the occasion quickly.
Jin Xiangdong tried to break up the fight but failed. Lu Jia’er’s outstanding combat ability made it seem like she was cheating. As for Jin Xianglan, those who didn’t know her would be none the wiser that even as an expert in biology, she had been practicing Wing Chun1 for over 25 years. She was qualified to be a kung fu master with her present skill level.
It was just that she did not display her skills usually. So, most of the time, people would only think of her as a capable and experienced female researcher.
At the moment, every action she took was fast, accurate and strong. In the beginning, Lu Jia’er was overwhelmed. She took a few steps back. But she did not flinch and began to attack again.
The two of them landed strikes one after another. The corridor had long become their arena as they battled against one another.
If they were in a different situation, this would be considered an excellent demonstration of and compet.i.tion in military skills.
“Jia’er! Sister! Stop it!” Jing Xiangdong shouted, frowning.
His shout was of no use. The fight continued. Soon, things turned around for Lu Jia’er. She quickly demonstrated the advantage of being an advanced AI. She was able to apply what she picked up on the spot, responding quickly and effectively according to the current situation. She gained the upper hand and forced Jin Xianglan to back up.
Lu Jia’er punched out and Jin Xianglan tried to fend her off with a hand. However, the punch was a skillful feint. Lu Jia’er kicked out her right leg.
Jin Xianglan staggered back. Up until this point during their fight, even though she had the gun, Jin Xianglan wasn’t concerned about losing so she did not use it. Now that the tides of the battle were changing, she too, changed her idea and aimed the gun at Lu Jia’er.
Seeing this, Jin Xianglan was taken aback. In a rush of fear, he dashed over.
Bang. The bullet shot out from the barrel. Jin Xiangdong rushed over and stood in front of Lu Jia’er to defend her.
Someone once said that no matter how good one’s kung fu was, a person was built of flesh and blood. In front of a bullet, people would still be vulnerable.
Jin Xianglan was shocked to see that she was shooting at Jin Xiangdong, not Lu Jia’er who was stunned as well. Standing behind him, she could see clearly how Jin Xiangdong was trembling due to the strong impact of the bullet entering his body.
Jin Xiangdong, who was wearing a white coat, found his coat tainted around the chest with blood. He looked down slowly and then raised his eyes to Jin Xianglan slowly. Then, he felt his knees becoming weak as he sunk to the floor.
“Ace!”
“Xiangdong!”
Lu Jia’er and Jin Xianglan quickly came back to their senses and hurried over.
