Unexpectedly, a young girl opened the door, and the voice stopped abruptly.
A dark-skinned, muscular man with rugged features froze for a moment.
I've never seen such a beautiful girl in real life.
His face flushed bright red, down to the roots of his ears, and he apologized repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry! I went to the wrong door! Sorry to bother you!"
Someone behind him shouted, "What do you mean, wrong door? This is Qi Yue's apartment, you..."
The other two also widened their eyes when they saw Jiang Nian.
I gasped.
"You've come to the right place,"
Ji Qiyue arrived at some point.
Standing behind Jiang Nian, he was somewhat surprised to see the people outside the door. "Brother Xiao, Brother Shao, Xiao Jiang, what brings you here?"
The short-haired boy who had spoken earlier swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Brother Qi Yue, is this your...girlfriend?"
"What?" Ji Qiyue rolled his eyes. "This is my sister, my own sister."
"Sister?" the men exclaimed in surprise.
Another older man, addressed as Brother Shao, said, "Qi Yue, I've never heard you mention having a younger sister before."
The boy with the buzz cut was the first to greet Jiang Nian; he seemed to be a lively and easy-going person.
"Hello, little sister. We are your brother's colleagues at the club. My name is Xiao Jiang, and these are Brother Xiao and Brother Shao."
"Hello, brothers," Jiang Nian nodded. "My fifth brother is sick today, so I'm here to take care of him."
"Oh, Brother Qi Yue, are you still running a fever?"
Seeing Ji Qiyue's expression, Xiao Jiang asked, "You asked for leave this morning saying you had a fever, and it hasn't gone down yet?"
"My sister got me some medicine, and I'm feeling much better now. Please come in."
Ji Qiyue took out three pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Once everyone was seated in the living room, he remembered what he had just overheard.
"By the way, Brother Xiao just said there's big news tonight, what news?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang immediately became very interested.
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. Brother Qi Yue, do you know that Brother Wang and Brother Li have been secretly fighting in underground boxing matches lately?"
"Fighting in underground boxing?" Ji Qiyue frowned. "Isn't that explicitly prohibited by legitimate clubs in China?"
"They'd do this kind of thing just to earn extra money on the side, without even worrying about losing their jobs."
“That’s not the point,” Xiao Jiang said. “The point is that we got information that Brother Wang and Brother Li went to an underground boxing ring at a private resort tonight.”
"Brother Wang was beaten half to death on stage and was carried away right there. He's still in the hospital."
Ji Qiyue was inevitably shocked: "Beated half to death?"
In Ji Qiyue's opinion, although Wang Lin's skill level was not top-notch in the club, he should be able to easily defeat those second-rate fighters who did underground boxing.
Xiao Jiang continued, "Yes, and I heard that his tendons were snapped on the spot, so he will never be able to box again."
Ji Qiyue couldn't help but ask, "Who is his opponent? Is he that powerful?"
"I don't know. People in those places are very tight-lipped; you can't even bring your phone in. But I asked around, and they said they'll send me a video later."
As luck would have it, Xiao Jiang's phone rang right after he finished speaking.
His eyes lit up.
When he opened it, he found it was a video that someone had sent him.
Ji Qiyue moved closer.
Jiang Nian reached out and pulled him back from behind.
"...Fifth Brother, why don't you stop watching?"
"Huh?" Ji Qiyue was taken aback. "Why?"
Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then said, "I think you need to rest well to recover faster."
"I'm fine, Niannian. The Chinese medicine you brewed is much more effective than those fever reducers and anti-inflammatory drugs. I feel much better now."
He then explained to Jiang Nian, "This Brother Wang, you met me at Nightfall last time, I don't know if you remember."
"Let me take a look and see who beat him up so badly."
More than just remember.
Just two hours ago, Jiang Nian was on the stage, facing him warmly.
Xiao Jiang clicked on the video.
This video was clearly taken secretly by someone at the scene, and they were not close to the camera.
The image is a bit blurry when zoomed in on the boxing ring, but you can still see the figures of the red and blue boxers on both sides, though their faces are not very clear.
Upon seeing this, all four men widened their eyes.
No, are their eyes playing tricks on them?
Isn't this red-sided boxer a girl?
They weren't even wearing head protection, and they seemed to be wearing... a high school uniform?
But this school uniform—
Why is her outfit so similar to that of Ji Qiyue's sister next to them?
Ji Qiyue was dumbfounded.
Even though the image was blurry, he immediately noticed that the person on stage looked just like Nian Nian.
Soon the whistle blew and the game began.
Despite the vast difference in their physiques, the young girl knocked out two burly men opposite her in a single second, leaving several viewers in front of their screens speechless.
What followed was even more brutal.
The girl's fighting skills were top-notch, and her movements were ruthless and fierce. Seizing the opportunity, she practically pinned the man down and beat him to death until he begged for mercy with his last breath.
At the same time, sound came from the loudspeaker—
[Whose hand was it that drugged my fifth brother?]
[Left hand, right hand?]
[If I cripple one of your hands, you can't be a professional boxer anymore?]
[You'd better remember this lesson for the rest of your life.]
The air in the entire living room seemed to freeze.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Nian behind them.
