Chapter 56 My actions were in self-defense

Seeing Li Ruoyan's face change faster than flipping through a book, Qiao Yue curled her lip, looked at Qiao Yan with disgust, and whispered but could not hide her resentment.

"Sister, look at this woman, she's so fickle. That seductive look of hers, I don't know who she's trying to seduce, it's disgusting."

At this moment, Qin Zhuo, who had been wearing a cold expression, stepped forward and asked, "You want to rob our villa?"

Li Ruoyan was taken aback at first, then her eyes sparkled as she revealed a charming yet feignedly innocent smile, "Oh dear, Brother Qin, it's all a misunderstanding. How could I dare to rob your villa?"

"I just didn't expect that Brother Qin would pick up another pair of beautiful sisters while he was out. But compared to me, these two sisters...tsk tsk tsk, they seem so-so. Could it be that they're good in bed..."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue flew into a rage, clenching her fists. "What are you saying! You can't even utter a coherent sentence! What do you take me and my sister for?"

As she spoke, she was about to rush forward and attack.

Qiao Yan grabbed Qiao Yue, "Don't be impulsive, there are rules at the base."

Seeing this, Li Ruoyan became even more smug. She put her hands on her hips and raised her chin. "What are you doing! The latest base regulations prohibit fighting. If you hit me, be careful you get kicked out. Don't blame me for not warning you then."

Qiao Yue was so angry that she was trembling all over. Helpless, she could only stop and stand aside, her chest heaving violently, muttering, "This is infuriating. This woman is too much."

Qin Zhuo stared coldly at Li Ruoyan and said, word by word, "Have you forgotten what I said last time?"

Li Ruoyan's expression froze instantly.

She recalled the scene when Qin Zhuo cut off her hair last time.

Although she felt that Qin Zhuo wouldn't dare to actually make a move, given the base's regulations, she couldn't help but feel a little scared looking into his eyes, fearing that he might really disregard the rules and take action.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, chuckled softly, and tried to hide her panic.

"Oh, I was just joking. I didn't expect her to take it so seriously. How boring."

Just then, Yuka, who had been standing quietly watching from the side, suddenly said, "Your breath stinks!"

Li Ruoyan was taken aback at first, then her face turned bright red. "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't have bad breath, so don't talk nonsense."

Yu Xiang wasn't scared at all; she tilted her head and grinned.

"Sister, I was just joking, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Hahaha!" Qiao Yue burst into laughter upon hearing this, and she put her arm around Youxiang's shoulder. "Our little Youzi was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Li Ruoyan was trembling with anger, pointing at Qiao Yue and Youxiang, "You...you guys..."

"Brother Qin, look at your men, they have no manners at all."

She looked at Qin Zhuo with a wronged expression, hoping that Qin Zhuo would stand up for her.

To her surprise, Qin Zhuo completely ignored her and instead turned around to unload the bags of grain from the cart and handed them to the previous staff member, saying, "This is 300 jin of grain, please weigh it."

The staff member nodded quickly, "Okay."

Seeing that Qin Zhuo was completely ignoring her, Li Ruoyan felt both ashamed and angry.

She took a few steps forward and aggressively tried to grab Qin Zhuo's arm.

Qin Zhuo was very perceptive and took action the moment he noticed Li Ruoyan approaching.

His eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he kicked out.

The kick was fast and powerful, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Li Ruoyan only felt a dark shadow flash before her eyes, and before she could react, she was sent flying.

It crashed heavily to the ground with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.

Her vision went black, and she fainted. Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered in dirt, making her look extremely disheveled.

Upon seeing this, one of Li Ruoyan's admirers, with a glint of greed and excitement in his eyes, immediately rushed forward to help her.

While pretending to call out, "Ruoyan, how are you?", he casually touched Li Ruoyan's body.

After helping Li Ruoyan up, the man pointed at Qin Zhuo with righteous indignation.

"Qin Zhuo, this is a private fight, a serious violation of the base's rules, and you'll be expelled. So many staff members saw it, don't try to deny it!"

The sound was so loud that it seemed everyone in the management center could hear it.

Qin Zhuo crossed his arms, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"What fight? I was acting in self-defense."

Chen Yunfei truly lived up to his reputation as Qin Zhuo's best friend and brother; the two had an excellent understanding of each other.

He immediately understood Qin Zhuo's meaning and jumped out to support him.

"It was Li Ruoyan who suddenly tried to touch my brother Qin. Brother Qin thought someone was going to attack him, so he reacted instinctively. It's like when you're walking down the street and someone suddenly rushes up to hit you, can you not fight back?"

Then, Qiao Yan said calmly, "We just came back from a mission outside. We encountered a lot of dangers along the way, so it's not normal for us to have some conditioned reflexes."

Seeing this, Qiao Yue loudly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, who told this woman to suddenly start touching him? If she had spoken properly, would Qin Zhuo have hit her? She clearly asked for it."

After saying that, Qiao Yue looked at the staff around her and asked, "Don't you all agree?"

The staff members whispered among themselves, discussing the matter quietly.

The staff member who had just finished weighing the grain stepped forward. He had long disliked Li Ruoyan, who, relying on her spatial ability, had been bossing them around and showing them no respect whatsoever.

He handed the villa keys to Qin Zhuo and said, "It's true that Li Ruoyan tried to pull people away without warning, so it's normal for Qin Zhuo to act reflexively. Qin Zhuo, just apologize to her and let's just let this matter go."

Qin Zhuo looked at Li Ruoyan, who had just woken up and was still in a daze, and said without any apology, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Qin Zhu waved to Youxiang, Qiao Yan and the others, "Let's go, let's go see the villa."

His tone was so relaxed, as if nothing had just happened.

When Qin Zhuo passed by Li Ruoyan, he didn't even glance at her.

Li Ruoyan clutched her chest, swaying as she stood up, her hair still disheveled. "Why did they leave? No, Qin Zhuo, you stop right there."

Li Ruoyan snapped out of her daze and, like a mad tigress, took off chasing after him.

But when she reached the door, Qin Zhuo and the others had already driven away, leaving behind only a pungent smell of exhaust fumes.

Li Ruoyan stood there, coughing from the exhaust fumes.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. "Ugh! I'm so angry! Qin Zhuo, you'll regret this!"

Qin Zhuo repeatedly disregarded her and completely ignored her attempts to be friendly.

Although she enjoyed conquering men, she eventually lost all patience after repeatedly hitting a wall.
