Chapter 74: The Long Wooden Box

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely got the chance to show off her skills. Only when facing thugs and criminals could she truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to flee or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and bold, coupled with an extremely combative personality. She practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day—it thrilled her.

A group of at least ten hoodlums watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently walked toward them, nunchucks in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them. Her nunchucks whirled through the air, and one thug after another cried out in pain as they fell to the ground. Lin Xue struck hard, aiming every blow at vital points on the body. By the time the ten thugs realized what was happening and tried to fight back, five or six of them were already down. The remaining few swung their knives wildly, but Lin Xue easily dodged their attacks, countering with fierce strikes to their heads with her nunchucks, leaving them bloodied and battered.

Two of them tried to run but were swiftly struck in the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchucks.

Seeing the commotion at the hotel, the front desk clerk immediately pressed the alarm button.

Instead of running away, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi rushed toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Watching Lin Xue deliver crippling blows with every move, Shui Miao was utterly shocked. He couldn’t understand how this tough woman could be so ruthless and fight without holding back. At this rate, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these people even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanda champion. She knows how to hold back—she won’t kill anyone.”

Sanda champion… Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Damn woman, who the hell are you?”

A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, couldn’t stand due to the excruciating pain in his knee.

“Who I am is none of your business. I’ll beat you into submission first,” Lin Xue retorted as she charged toward him, raising her leg to kick him in the face. The thug swung his knife wildly at her leg, making everyone watching gasp in fear for her. But Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, moving faster than expected, and kicked the knife out of his hand. The thug screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain—his wrist had been broken!

Chu Miaoyi inhaled sharply. What was wrong with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These people were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patted the thug’s face, and sneered, “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go to hell…”

Refusing to admit defeat, the thug hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“You dare insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue’s greatest trigger was anyone disrespecting her mother. Her brows furrowed, and she immediately grabbed the thug’s head, slammed it against the ground, and mercilessly smashed his mouth with her nunchucks. After a few blows, half his teeth were shattered! The thug, never expecting to encounter such a brutal woman, was completely dazed. He frantically slapped the ground, begging for mercy, but Lin Xue showed no restraint, continuing to pummel his face until it was swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi quickly stepped in to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If this goes on, it’ll cause trouble later.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. She stopped, but the thug had already been beaten unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader covered in blood and seemingly lifeless, were terrified, their faces pale with fear, trembling uncontrollably.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned around, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face with his hands, clearly afraid of ending up with a smashed face like his leader.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before turning to the thug again. “What else? Spill it all. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang and find a stable job to live an honest life.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. Gao Bo hiring people to attack others was a crime, and since she had nothing else to do that night, she thought she might as well track him down and hand him over to the police. She didn’t care about credit—she just hoped they wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the thugs.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens pierced the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed in. Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and announced to the entering police, “We’re on the same side. I’ve already handled it for you.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was stunned. He turned to Chu Miaoyi and asked, “Aren’t you here because Chairman Lin hired you?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain this to you later. Right now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked over to Lin Xue. She also produced her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!”

Hearing that name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat. He remembered the phone call from his godfather! “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After the police briefly gathered statements from everyone, they loaded the thugs into the police cars. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi followed them to the station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the surveillance footage in the security room before leaving.

By then, the restaurant staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station to give a statement. But Shui Miao really wanted to go—unfortunately, the police wouldn’t allow it. Suppressing his impatience, he sat down to eat with Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi spoke up, “That female police officer earlier was really impressive. I feel like only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting next to Shui Miao, was intrigued. She quickly asked, “Xiaomi, where is your class monitor now? Does she have a job? If not, why not introduce her to the hotel?”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such exceptional abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble again.

“Really? Is that possible?” Wang Xiaomi grew excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work. If you’re really willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with the manager.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. Handle this, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left. He went to the maintenance room and called his godfather, Wang Yong, only to find his phone turned off. He sent a text message instead, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er calling.

Maybe Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending people to cause trouble!

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice: “Shui Miao! I’ve brought you some help. Come to the entrance quickly—I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…”

Shui Miao put down his phone, puzzled. Why would Sister Lin suddenly give him a gift?

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, standing about 1.65 meters tall, with fair, delicate features and petite figures. They appeared to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Behind the shy twins, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put the box down and waved him over. “Come here, come here! Take your treasure—it’s too heavy for me to carry.”

A group of at least ten hooligans approached, surprised to see a beautiful woman confidently striding towards them wielding nunchucks. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them. Her nunchucks flew up and down, and one by one, the hooligans cried out in pain as they fell to the ground. Lin Xue struck hard, targeting vital points on their bodies. By the time the remaining gangsters realized what was happening and tried to fight back, Lin Xue had already knocked out five or six of them. The remaining few swung their knives wildly, but Lin Xue easily dodged their attacks. With swift strikes from her nunchucks to their heads, she left them bleeding and battered.

Two tried to flee but were immediately struck in the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchucks.

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely got the chance to show off her skills. Only when facing criminal scum could she truly unleash her abilities.

Instead of running away, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi ran toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s ruthless, crippling strikes. He couldn’t understand how this fierce woman could be so ruthless and fight without holding back. At this rate, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these people even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanda champion. She knows how to control her strikes. She won’t kill anyone.”

Sanda champion… Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

His wrist was broken!

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These people were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patting the thug’s face. “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…”

The thug, refusing to admit defeat, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“Dare to insult my mother? You must have a death wish!” Lin Xue’s greatest hatred was anyone disrespecting her mother. Frowning, she grabbed the thug’s head and slammed it against the ground, then mercilessly smashed his mouth with her nunchucks. After a few strikes, half of his teeth were shattered! The thug, stunned by the brutality of this fierce woman, quickly tapped the ground in surrender. But Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face until it was swollen beyond recognition.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face, clearly afraid of being beaten to a pulp.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before pressing further, “What else? Spill it all. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang, find a stable job, and live an honest life.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue, skilled at reading people, could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. Gao Bo hiring thugs to attack others was a crime, and since she had nothing else to do that night, she thought she might as well catch him and do her fellow officers in Zhonghai City a favor. She didn’t care about credit—she just hoped they wouldn’t hold her responsible for injuring the suspects.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens filled the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed in.

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was stunned. He turned to Chu Miaoyi and asked, “Aren’t you here because Chairman Lin hired you?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain this to you later. For now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked over to Lin Xue.

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with the manager.

He went to the maintenance room and called his godfather, Wang Yong, only to find his phone switched off. He sent a text message instead, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Seeing this unfold, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi didn’t run away. Instead, they ran toward Shui Miao.

“Wow, that was brutal!” Wang Xiaomi exclaimed.

Shui Miao was extremely shocked by Lin Xue’s merciless moves and puzzled about how this woman could be so powerful and strike without concern for consequences. If she kept this up, wouldn’t she end up killing them all?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who exactly were these people here to find?

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely had the chance to show off her skills. It was only when facing criminal elements that she could truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to flee or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and bold, coupled with an extremely combative personality. She practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day just for the thrill.

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face with his hands, clearly afraid of ending up like his leader.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang and find a honest job to live a proper life.

“I see. So where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue, skilled at reading people, could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. However, Gao Bo’s hiring of thugs to assault others constituted a crime. Since she had nothing else to do that evening, Lin Xue thought she might as well track Gao Bo down and hand him over to the police. She wasn’t concerned about credit; she just hoped her fellow officers wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the suspects.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

Lin Xue was a sanshou champion who rarely got the chance to show off her skills, except when dealing with criminal scum. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to run or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally bold and skilled, coupled with her extremely combative nature—she practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day just for the thrill.

Sanshou champion, Sister Lin—upon hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Who the hell are you, bitch?” A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, couldn’t stand due to the excruciating pain in his knee.

Lin Xue crouched down, patting the thug’s face. “Well, grandson, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…” The thug, refusing to back down, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“How dare you insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue hated nothing more than someone disrespecting her mother. Her brows furrowed, and she immediately grabbed the thug’s head, slamming it into the ground. She then mercilessly smashed his mouth with her nunchaku until half his teeth were knocked out. The thug, stunned by the brutality of this fierce woman, frantically slapped the ground in surrender, but Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face until it was swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi quickly stepped in to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If this goes on, there’ll be trouble.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. By the time she stopped, the thug was already unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader bloodied and seemingly dead, were terrified, their faces pale and bodies trembling.

Lin Xue stood up, pulling out her badge, and announced loudly, “Fellow officers, I’ve already handled the situation.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was taken aback and turned to Chu Miaoyi. “I thought you were sent by Chairman Lin?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain later. Right now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked over to Lin Xue, also producing her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi from the Huanghai City Criminal Police. I can testify to what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!” Upon hearing the name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat, remembering the phone call from his godfather. “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After briefly gathering statements from everyone, the police loaded the thugs into their vehicles. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi accompanied them to the station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the security footage before leaving.

By then, the restaurant staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station for a statement. But Shui Miao desperately wanted to go. Unable to do so, he reluctantly stayed behind to eat with Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi spoke up, “That female officer was incredible. I feel like only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting next to Shui Miao, perked up at this. “Xiaomi, where is your class monitor now? Does she have a job? If not, why not introduce her to the hotel?”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble again.

“Really? Can I?” Wang Xiaomi grew excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work together. If you’re willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. That way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with Shui Miao.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. Handle it, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left. He went to the maintenance room and tried calling his godfather, Wang Yong, but his phone was off. So, Shui Miao sent a text message, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er.

Maybe Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending people to cause trouble.

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice: “Shui Miao! I’ve brought you some help. Come to the entrance quickly. I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…” Shui Miao put down his phone, puzzled. Why would Sister Lin suddenly give him a gift?

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, standing no taller than 165 cm, with fair, delicate features and petite figures—they couldn’t be more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Behind them, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she quickly put the box down and waved him over. “Come here, come here! Take your treasure—it’s too heavy for me to carry.”

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely got the chance to show off her skills. Only when facing thugs and criminals could she truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to flee or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and bold, coupled with an extremely combative personality. She practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day—it thrilled her.

A group of at least ten hoodlums watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently walked toward them, nunchaku in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them. Her nunchaku whirled through the air, and one by one, the thugs cried out and fell to the ground. Lin Xue struck hard, targeting vital points with every move. By the time the ten thugs realized what was happening and tried to fight back, five or six of them were already down. The remaining few swung their knives wildly, but Lin Xue easily dodged their attacks, countering with fierce blows to their heads with her nunchaku, leaving them bloodied and battered.

Two of them tried to run but were swiftly struck in the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchaku.

Seeing the commotion at the hotel, the front desk clerk promptly pressed the alarm button.

Instead of fleeing, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi ran toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s ruthless, crippling strikes. He couldn’t understand how this tough woman could be so formidable and fight without holding back. At this rate, wouldn’t she end up killing them all?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these people even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanda champion. She knows how to control her strikes—she won’t kill anyone.”

Sanda champion… Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Who the hell are you, bitch?”

A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, couldn’t stand due to the excruciating pain in his knee.

“None of your damn business who I am. I’ll beat you into submission first,” Lin Xue retorted as she charged forward, aiming a kick at his face. The thug slashed wildly at her leg, making everyone watching gasp in fear for her. But Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, moving faster than expected, and kicked the knife out of his hand. The thug screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain—his wrist was broken.

Chu Miaoyi gasped. What was wrong with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These people were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patting the thug’s face. “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…”

The thug, refusing to admit defeat, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“You dare insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue’s greatest hatred was anyone disrespecting her mother. Her brows furrowed, and she immediately grabbed the thug’s head, slamming it into the ground while smashing his mouth repeatedly with her nunchaku. After a few blows, half his teeth were shattered! The thug, stunned by the brutality of this fierce woman, quickly tapped the ground in surrender. But Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face—until it was swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi rushed over to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If this goes on, it’ll cause trouble later.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. She stopped, but the thug had already been beaten unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader covered in blood and seemingly dead, were terrified, their faces pale and trembling with fear.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face, clearly afraid of being beaten to a pulp.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before pressing further, “What else? Spill it. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan—that’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang, find a stable job, and live an honest life.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue, observing his demeanor, knew he wasn’t lying. But Gao Bo hiring thugs to assault others was a crime. Since she had nothing else to do that night, Lin Xue thought she might as well track him down and hand him over to the police—not for credit, but just to help out her colleagues, as long as they didn’t hold her accountable for injuring the suspects.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens pierced the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed in. Lin Xue stood up, pulling out her badge and announcing to the entering police, “We’re colleagues. I’ve already handled the situation for you.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was stunned. He turned to Chu Miaoyi. “I thought you were sent by Chairman Lin?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain this to you later. For now, I need to assist with the report,” Chu Miaoyi said, nodding at him before walking over to Lin Xue. She also produced her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!”

Hearing that name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat. He remembered the phone call from his godfather! “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After the police briefly gathered statements from everyone, they loaded the thugs into the police cars. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi accompanied them to the station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the surveillance footage in the security room before leaving.

By then, the restaurant staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station to give a statement. But Shui Miao desperately wanted to go. Unable to do so, he reluctantly stayed behind to eat with Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi remarked, “That female police officer was incredible.

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble anymore.

“Really? That would be amazing!” Wang Xiaomi grew excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work. If you’re really willing to take us in, I’ll call and notify them right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with the manager.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. Handle this, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left. He went to the maintenance room and immediately called his godfather, Wang Yong, only to find his phone switched off. He then sent a text message, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er calling.

Maybe Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending people to cause trouble!

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice: “Shui Miao! I’ve brought you some help. Come to the entrance quickly—I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…”

Shui Miao put down his phone, puzzled. Why would Sister Lin suddenly give him a gift?

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, standing about 1.65 meters tall, with fair, delicate features and petite figures—likely no older than eighteen or nineteen. Behind these shy twins, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put down the box and waved him over. “Come here, come here! Take your treasure—it’s too heavy for me to carry.”

Lin Xue was a sanshou champion who rarely got a chance to show her skills in daily life. It was only when facing criminal elements that she could truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to escape or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and bold, coupled with her extremely combative nature. She almost wished she could run into such trouble every day just for the thrill.

A group of at least ten thugs watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently approached them, nunchaku in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them. Her nunchaku whirled through the air, and one by one, the thugs screamed and fell to the ground. Lin Xue struck with heavy blows, targeting vital points on their bodies.

Two of them tried to run but were swiftly struck on the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchaku.

Seeing the commotion at the hotel, the front desk clerk promptly pressed the alarm button.

Instead of fleeing, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi ran toward Shui Miao upon seeing the situation.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s crippling moves. He couldn’t understand how this tough woman could be so ruthless and fight without holding back. If this continued, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these people even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanshou champion. She knows how to control her strikes and won’t kill anyone.”

Sanshou champion, Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Bitch, who the hell are you?”

A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, winced in pain from his injured knee and couldn’t stand.

“Who I am is none of your business. I’ll beat you into submission first,” Lin Xue retorted as she charged toward him, aiming a kick at his face. The thug slashed at her leg with his knife, leaving everyone watching breathless with anxiety. To their surprise, Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, accelerated, and kicked the knife out of the thug’s hand. The thug screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain.

His wrist had been broken!

Chu Miaoyi gasped. What was wrong with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These people were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patted the thug’s face, and sneered, “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…”

The thug, refusing to admit defeat, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“You dare insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue hated nothing more than someone disrespecting her mother. Her brows furrowed, and she immediately grabbed the thug’s head, slammed it against the ground, and smashed his mouth repeatedly with her nunchaku. After a few blows, half of his teeth were shattered! The thug, stunned by the brutality of this woman, quickly tapped the ground in surrender. But Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face until it was on the verge of becoming unrecognizable.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi hurried over to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If this goes on, it’ll cause trouble later.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. She stopped, but the thug had already been beaten unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader covered in blood and seemingly dead, were terrified, their faces pale and bodies trembling.

“Talk! Who sent you?”

Lin Xue turned around, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face with his hands, clearly afraid of being beaten to a pulp.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before turning to the thug again. “What else? Spill it all. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug had not been in the gang for long. After this scare, he had already decided to quit and find a stable job to live a proper life.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue observed his expression and knew he wasn’t lying. However, Gao Bo’s act of hiring thugs to attack others constituted a crime. Since she had nothing else to do that night, Lin Xue thought she might as well track down Gao Bo and hand him over to the police. She didn’t care about credit; she just hoped the police wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the thugs.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, new to the underworld, didn’t know the rules and spoke without holding anything back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens pierced the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed out. Seeing this, Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and announced to the incoming police, “We’re on the same side. I’ve already handled it for you.”

“You’re police officers?”

Shui Miao was taken aback and quickly turned to Chu Miaoyi. “Aren’t you here because Chairman Lin hired you?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain this to you later. For now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked toward Lin Xue. She also produced her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what just happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!”

Hearing the name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled the phone call from his godfather. “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After briefly gathering statements from everyone, the police loaded the thugs into their vehicles. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi followed them to the police station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the surveillance footage in the security room before leaving.

By then, the catering staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station to give a statement. However, Shui Miao was eager to go but had no choice but to stay. He reluctantly sat down to eat with Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi spoke up, “That female police officer earlier was really impressive. I feel like only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting next to Shui Miao, was intrigued. “Xiaomi, where is your class monitor now? Does she have a job? If not, why not introduce her to the hotel?”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble anymore.

“Really? That would be amazing!” Wang Xiaomi grew excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work. If you’re willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with Shui Miao.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. I’ll leave this matter to you, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left. He went to the maintenance room and called his godfather, Wang Yong, only to find his phone switched off. He then sent a text message, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible regarding an urgent matter.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er calling.

Perhaps Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending people to cause trouble.

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice. “Shui Miao! I’ve brought you some help. Come to the entrance quickly. I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…”

Shui Miao put down his phone, wondering why Sister Lin would suddenly give him a gift.

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, stood about 1.65 meters tall, and had fair, delicate features. They appeared to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Behind these shy twins, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put down the box and waved him over. “Come quick, take your treasure. It’s too heavy—I can’t carry it.”

His wrist was broken!

Chu Miaoyi sucked in a breath. What was going on with Lin Xue today? Why was she hitting so hard?

Hearing the exchange between Lin Xue and the hooligan, Shui Miao finally concluded that they must not know each other. These people were probably here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue squatted down and gently slapped the hooligan’s face. “Hey, punk, are you done yet?”

“Go to hell, you bitch…”

The hooligan refused to back down and insulted Lin Xue.

“Daring to curse my mother? Looks like you’re just asking to die!” Lin Xue hated it when others insulted her mother. Her eyebrows furrowed instantly, and she grabbed the hooligan’s head, slamming it against the ground. With her nunchucks, she mercilessly pounded his mouth. After several strikes, half of his teeth were gone! The hooligan couldn’t believe he had encountered such a ruthless woman and was so stunned from the beating that he began pounding the ground, begging for mercy. But Lin Xue refused to stop, continuing to strike his face—his face would swell up like a pig’s if she kept going.

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely had the chance to show off her skills. Only when facing criminal scum could she truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to flee or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and courageous. Combined with her extremely combative nature, she almost wished she could run into trouble like this every day—it thrilled her.

A group of at least ten thugs watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently approached them, nunchaku in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them.

Instead of running away, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi rushed toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s ruthless, crippling strikes. He couldn’t understand how this fierce woman could be so powerful and fight without holding back. If this continued, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these thugs even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanda champion. She knows how to control her strikes—she won’t kill anyone.”

Sanda champion… Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Damn bitch, who the hell are you?”

A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, couldn’t stand due to the excruciating pain in his knee.

“Who I am is none of your business. I’ll beat you into submission first,” Lin Xue retorted as she charged forward, aiming a kick at his face. The thug swung his knife wildly at her leg, making everyone gasp in fear for her. But Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, moving faster than expected, and kicked the knife out of his hand. The thug screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain—his wrist had been broken!

Chu Miaoyi gasped inwardly. What was going on with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These thugs were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patting the thug’s face mockingly. “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…”

The thug, refusing to admit defeat, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“How dare you insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue’s greatest trigger was anyone disrespecting her mother. Her expression darkened instantly as she grabbed the thug’s head, slammed it into the ground, and mercilessly smashed his mouth with her nunchaku. After a few strikes, half his teeth were shattered! The thug, stunned by her brutality, quickly tapped the ground in surrender, but Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face until it was swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi hurried over to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If you keep going, it’ll cause trouble later.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. She stopped, but the thug had already been beaten unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader covered in blood and seemingly dead, were terrified, their faces pale and bodies trembling.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face, clearly afraid of ending up like his leader.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before pressing further, “What else? Spit it all out! If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, relatively new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang and find a legitimate job.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue could tell he wasn’t lying. Gao Bo hiring thugs to assault others was a crime, and since she had nothing else to do that night, she thought she might as well track him down. It would be doing the Zhonghai police a favor—not that she cared about credit, as long as they didn’t hold her accountable for injuring the thugs.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the consequences, revealed everything without hesitation.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens filled the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed in. Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and announced loudly, “We’re on the same side, colleagues. I’ve already handled the situation.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was stunned. He turned to Chu Miaoyi, “I thought you were sent by Chairman Lin?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain everything later. For now, I need to assist with the report,” Chu Miaoyi said with a nod before walking over to Lin Xue. She also produced her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!”

Hearing that name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat. He remembered the phone call from his godfather! “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After briefly gathering statements from everyone, the police loaded the thugs into their vehicles. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi accompanied them to the station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the security footage before leaving.

By then, the restaurant staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station for a formal statement. But Shui Miao desperately wanted to go. Unable to do so, he reluctantly joined Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi for a meal. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi remarked, “That female police officer was incredible. I feel like only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting beside Shui Miao, perked up at this. “Xiaomi, where is your class monitor now? Is she employed? If not, why not introduce her to the hotel?”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble again.

“Really? That would be amazing!” Wang Xiaomi exclaimed excitedly. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work. If you’re willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with Shui Miao.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. Handle this, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left for the maintenance room. He immediately called his godfather, Wang Yong, but the phone was off. So, he sent a text message, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er calling.

Maybe Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending thugs to cause trouble!

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice: “Shui Miao! I’ve found some help for you. Come to the entrance quickly—I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…”

Shui Miao put down his phone, puzzled. Why would Sister Lin suddenly give him a gift?

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, standing about 1.65 meters tall, with fair, delicate features and petite figures. They appeared to be no older than eighteen or nineteen. Behind them, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put the box down and waved him over. “Come here, come here! Take your treasure—it’s too heavy for me to carry.”

Reminded by Chu Miaoyi, Lin Xue immediately calmed down. The hooligan had already been beaten unconscious. The other gangsters saw their leader’s face covered in blood and thought he might be dead. They all looked terrified, trembling with fear.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned around, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on a particularly trembling hooligan.

“It was Gao Bo. He hired us,” the young hooligan, around eighteen or nineteen years old, replied while covering his face, clearly terrified of being beaten into a pulp by Lin Xue.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue looked at Shui Miao and then back at the hooligan. “Spit it out! If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you lose your looks!”

“I’ll tell, I’ll tell! Gao Bo sent us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He paid us ten thousand yuan, and that’s all,” the young hooligan, newly recruited into the gang, had already decided to quit after this terrifying experience and find a stable job to live a decent life.

“I see. Then where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue sensed the hooligan was telling the truth. However, hiring someone to attack someone else constituted a crime. Since she had nothing planned for the evening, Lin Xue decided to catch Gao Bo and relieve some pressure for the local police. She didn’t care about the credit, as long as the police didn’t hold her responsible for injuring the criminals.

“He’s at Haihai Nightclub. He’s the manager there,” the young hooligan, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, answered straightforwardly.

“Haihai Nightclub…”

Lin Xue repeated the name and then heard the piercing sound of approaching police sirens. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers poured out. Seeing this, Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and shouted to the incoming officers, “We’re all colleagues. I’ve already taken care of things here for you.”

“You’re the police?”

Shui Miao was startled and quickly turned to Chu Miaoyi. “Aren’t you people sent by Chairwoman Lin?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain everything later. Right now, I need to cooperate with the investigation,” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked toward Lin Xue, also revealing her police credentials. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a detective from Haiwan City. I can testify about what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!!”

Upon hearing the name, Shui Miao’s heart stirred. He immediately recalled the call from his godfather. “My godfather mentioned that he had arranged a match for me named Chu Miaoyi. Since this Chu Miaoyi is from Haiwan City, it must be her!”

Shui Miao didn’t feel excited, only deeply confused, finding the situation incredible.

After gathering a general understanding of the situation, the police took the hooligans away in their cars. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi also went to the police station. Two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the surveillance footage from the security room before leaving.

At this time, the restaurant staff had already started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing meals for the employees.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t take Shui Miao to the station for questioning. However, Shui Miao was especially eager to go. Since the police wouldn’t allow it, he had to suppress his curiosity and have lunch with Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi spoke up excitedly, “That female officer was really impressive. I think only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting beside Shui Miao, was intrigued and quickly asked, “Xiao Mi, where is your class monitor now? Does she have a job? If not, why don’t you introduce her to the hotel?”

Lin Xue’s martial arts skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present.

Lin Xue was a champion in sanda (Chinese kickboxing) who rarely had the chance to show off her skills. It was only when facing criminal elements that she could truly unleash her abilities. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to flee or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally skilled and bold, coupled with an extremely combative personality. She practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day—it thrilled her.

A group of at least ten thugs watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently approached them, nunchaku in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged at them. Her nunchaku whirled through the air, and one thug after another cried out in pain as they fell to the ground. Lin Xue struck hard, targeting vital points with every move. By the time the ten thugs realized what was happening and tried to fight back, five or six of them were already down. The remaining few swung their knives wildly, but Lin Xue easily dodged their attacks, countering with fierce blows to their heads with her nunchaku, leaving them bloodied and battered.

Two of them tried to run but were swiftly struck in the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchaku.

Seeing the commotion at the hotel, the front desk clerk immediately pressed the alarm button.

Instead of running away, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi rushed toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s ruthless, crippling strikes. He couldn’t understand how this tough woman could be so formidable and fight without holding back. At this rate, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these thugs even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanda champion. She knows how to hold back—she won’t kill anyone.”

Sanda champion, Sister Lin… Hearing these terms, Shui Miao wondered if she was related to Chairman Lin Qing’er. If she was the chairman’s sister, then there was nothing to worry about. With wealth and influence, any injuries could easily be settled with money.

“Damn bitch, who the hell are you?”

A bald thug, struggling to get up from the ground with a knife in hand, couldn’t rise due to the excruciating pain in his knee.

“Who I am is none of your business. I’ll beat you into submission first,” Lin Xue retorted as she charged forward, aiming a kick at his face. The thug slashed wildly at her leg, causing everyone to gasp in fear for her. But Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, moving faster than expected, and kicked the knife out of his hand. The thug screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain—his wrist had been broken!

Chu Miaoyi inhaled sharply. What was wrong with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Hearing the exchange between the thug and Lin Xue, Shui Miao finally concluded that they didn’t know each other. These thugs were likely here to cause trouble for the hotel.

Lin Xue crouched down, patting the thug’s face. “Well, punk, had enough?”

“Go fuck your mother…”

The thug, refusing to admit defeat, hurled insults at Lin Xue.

“You dare insult my mother? Looks like you’ve got a death wish!” Lin Xue’s greatest trigger was anyone disrespecting her mother. Her expression darkened instantly as she grabbed the thug’s head, slammed it against the ground, and mercilessly smashed his mouth with her nunchaku. After a few blows, half his teeth were shattered! The thug, stunned by the brutality of this fierce woman, quickly tapped the ground in surrender. But Lin Xue showed no mercy, continuing to pummel his face until it was swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi hurried over to pull Lin Xue away. “Sister Lin, stop! If this goes on, it’ll cause trouble later.”

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. By the time she stopped, the thug was already unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader bloodied and lifeless, thought he was dead. They were terrified, trembling and pale with fear.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen, covered his face, clearly afraid of ending up like his leader.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before pressing further, “What else? Spill it all. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang, find a stable job, and live an honest life.

“I see. So where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue, skilled at reading people, could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. Gao Bo’s hiring of thugs to attack others constituted a crime. Since she had nothing else to do that night, Lin Xue thought she might as well track him down and hand him over to the police. She wasn’t concerned about credit—she just hoped the police wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the thugs.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the sharp sound of police sirens pierced the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers swarmed out. Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and announced to the entering police, “We’re on the same side. I’ve already handled the situation.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was taken aback. He turned to Chu Miaoyi. “I thought you were sent by Chairman Lin?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain everything later. Right now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao before walking over to Lin Xue. She also produced her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what happened here.”

“Chu Miaoyi!”

Hearing that name, Shui Miao’s heart skipped a beat. He remembered the phone call from his godfather! “Godfather said he found a match for me named Chu Miaoyi, and this Chu Miaoyi is from Huanghai City—it must be her!”

Instead of feeling excited, Shui Miao was deeply puzzled, finding the situation hard to believe.

After briefly gathering statements from everyone, the police loaded the thugs into their vehicles. Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi accompanied them to the station, while two officers stayed behind with Shui Miao to review the security footage before leaving.

By then, the restaurant staff had started their shifts, and the kitchen was preparing the employee meal.

Thanks to Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, the police didn’t require Shui Miao to go to the station for a formal statement. But Shui Miao desperately wanted to go. Unable to do so, he reluctantly joined Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi for a meal. During the meal, Wang Xiaomi spoke up, “That female police officer was incredible. I feel like only our class monitor could match her.”

“Really?” Sister Tang, sitting next to Shui Miao, perked up at this. “Xiaomi, where is your class monitor now? Is she employed? If not, why not invite her to join the hotel too?”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble again.

“Really? That would be amazing!” Wang Xiaomi grew excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City for work. If you’re really willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short-staffed, but the final decision rested with Shui Miao.

Shui Miao nodded. “No problem. Handle this, Sister Tang. I’m done eating—take your time.” Preoccupied with thoughts of Chu Miaoyi, Shui Miao finished quickly and left for the maintenance room. He immediately called his godfather, Wang Yong, but the phone was off. So, he sent a text message, asking Wang Yong to call him back as soon as possible—it was urgent.

Just as he sent the message, his phone rang…

It was Lin Qing’er calling.

Maybe Sister Lin already knew about Gao Bo sending thugs to cause trouble!

Shui Miao answered the call and heard Lin Qing’er’s urgent voice: “Shui Miao! I’ve brought you some help. Come to the entrance quickly—I also have a gift for you.”

“A gift…”

Shui Miao put down his phone, puzzled. Why would Sister Lin suddenly give him a gift?

Rushing to the entrance, Shui Miao immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked shy, standing at about 1.65 meters tall, with fair, delicate features and petite figures. They appeared to be no older than eighteen or nineteen. Behind these shy twins, Lin Qing’er was struggling to lift a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put the box down and waved him over. “Hurry, come get your treasure. It’s too heavy—I can’t carry it.”

“Really?” Wang Xiaomi became excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all agreed to work together in Haihai City. If you really want to hire us, I can call them right now! That way, I can reunite with my classmates again!”

“Manager, what do you think?” Sister Tang knew the hotel was short on staff, but whether or not to hire them still depended on the manager’s decision.

Shui Miao nodded, “No problem. I’ll leave this matter to you, Sister Tang. I’m done eating. You all continue.” With thoughts of Chu Miaoyi on his mind, Shui Miao ate a little and then got up to leave. He went to the maintenance room and immediately called his godfather, Wang Yong. However, Wang Yong’s phone was turned off, so Shui Miao sent him a text message instead, asking Wang Yong to call him back immediately upon turning his phone on, as it was urgent.

Just after sending the message, his phone rang…

It was a call from Lin Qing’er.

Lin Xue was a sanshou champion who rarely got the chance to show off her skills, except when dealing with criminal scum. Unlike most people, who would feel fear and choose to run or submit in such situations, Lin Xue was exceptionally bold and skilled, coupled with her extremely combative nature—she practically wished she could run into trouble like this every day just for the thrill.

A group of at least ten thugs watched in astonishment as a beautiful woman confidently approached them, nunchucks in hand. Before they could even speak, Lin Xue suddenly charged forward. Her nunchucks whirled through the air, and one thug after another fell to the ground with agonized cries. Lin Xue struck hard, targeting vital points with every move. By the time the ten thugs realized what was happening and tried to fight back, five or six of them were already down. The remaining few swung their knives wildly, but Lin Xue easily dodged their attacks, countering with fierce blows to their heads from her nunchucks, leaving them bloodied and battered.

Two of the thugs tried to flee but were swiftly struck in the knees by Lin Xue’s nunchucks.

Instead of running away, Sister Tang and Wang Xiaomi rushed toward Shui Miao.

“This is way too brutal!”

Shui Miao was utterly shocked by Lin Xue’s ruthless, crippling strikes. He couldn’t understand how this fierce woman could be so ruthless and seemingly unconcerned about the consequences. At this rate, wouldn’t she end up killing all of them?

Moreover, Shui Miao was confused—who were these thugs even here for?

Chu Miaoyi glanced at Shui Miao and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Sister Lin is a sanshou champion. She knows how to hold back—she won’t kill anyone.”

The thug swung his knife wildly at her leg, leaving everyone watching breathless with anxiety. But to their surprise, Lin Xue abruptly changed direction, moving faster than expected, and kicked the knife out of the thug’s hand. The thug let out a sharp cry, his face contorted in pain—his wrist had been broken!

Chu Miaoyi gasped. What was wrong with Sister Lin today? Why was she being so ruthless?

Chu Miaoyi’s warning snapped Lin Xue back to her senses. By the time she stopped, the thug had already been beaten unconscious. The other thugs, seeing their leader covered in blood and seemingly dead, were terrified, their faces pale and bodies trembling uncontrollably.

“Talk! Who sent you?” Lin Xue turned around, scanning the group before fixing her gaze on one particularly trembling thug.

“It… it was Gao Bo who hired us.”

The young thug, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, covered his face with his hands, clearly afraid of ending up like his leader.

“Gao Bo…” Lin Xue glanced back at Shui Miao before turning to the thug again. “What else? Spit it all out. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan, that’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to quit and find a legitimate job instead.

“So that’s how it is. Where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. Gao Bo’s actions constituted a crime, and since she had nothing else to do that night, she thought she might as well track him down and do the local police a favor. She wasn’t concerned about credit—she just hoped they wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the thugs.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the consequences, revealed everything without hesitation.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Bo paid us to teach Shui Miao and Chen Bing a lesson. He gave us ten thousand yuan. That’s all.” The young thug, new to the gang, was so terrified by Lin Xue that he decided then and there to leave the gang, find a stable job, and live a proper life.

“I see. So where is Gao Bo now?”

Lin Xue could tell the young thug wasn’t lying. Gao Bo’s actions constituted a crime, and since she had nothing else to do that night, she thought she might as well catch him and do her colleagues in Zhonghai City a favor. She didn’t care about credit; she just hoped they wouldn’t hold her accountable for injuring the suspects.

“He’s at Zhonghai Nightclub. He’s the manager there.” The young thug, inexperienced and unaware of the rules, confessed everything without holding back.

“Zhonghai Nightclub…”

As Lin Xue repeated the name, the piercing sound of police sirens filled the air. Five or six police cars pulled up in front of the hotel, and a large group of officers rushed in. Lin Xue stood up, pulled out her badge, and announced to the entering police, “Colleagues, I’ve already handled the situation for you.”

“You’re police officers?” Shui Miao was taken aback and quickly turned to Chu Miaoyi. “Aren’t you here because Chairman Lin invited you?”

“Shui Miao, I’ll explain this to you later. For now, I need to assist with the report.” Chu Miaoyi nodded at Shui Miao and walked over to Lin Xue, also showing her police badge. “Hello, colleagues. I’m Chu Miaoyi, a criminal police officer from Huanghai City. I can testify to what just happened here.”

Lin Xue’s skills had not only shocked Shui Miao but everyone present. If the hotel could recruit someone with such exceptional abilities, they wouldn’t have to worry about thugs causing trouble again.

“Really? Can I?” Wang Xiaomi became excited. “Our class monitor and the other girls from our class all planned to come to Zhonghai City to work. If you’re really willing to take them in, I’ll call and let them know right away. This way, I can be reunited with my classmates!”

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They looked very shy, standing about 1.65 meters tall, with fair, delicate features and a petite build. They appeared to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Behind these shy twins, Lin Qing’er was trying to retrieve a long wooden box from the trunk of her car. Seeing Shui Miao, she put down the box and waved him over. “Come quickly! Take your treasure. It’s too heavy—I can’t carry it.”

He hurried to the entrance and immediately spotted a pair of twin sisters. They appeared very shy, around one meter sixty-five in height, fair-skinned, delicate, and no older than eighteen or nineteen. Behind the timid twins, Lin Qing’er was just about to take a long wooden box out of the car trunk. Seeing Shui Miao come out, Lin Qing’er quickly put down the box and waved at him excitedly, “Come quickly! Come quickly! Take your treasure. It’s too heavy for me to carry.”
