To Love You Again

Tang Xinyang still wanted to interrogate Secretary Jiang. However, she remembered Jang Shin's words.

She could only let go of Secretary Jiang. The paralyzing drug has not fully kicked in yet. However, she could feel the numbness on her finger and toes.

"How long this will last?"

"I...I don't know."

Tang Xinyang was so angry. However, she knew Secretary Jiang would not betray them so easily. Secretary Jiang was just a bystander who got dagged in this mess. 

"Call the MA group and have them rescue your family. Then inform the others to hide in the conference rooms. Those people are after me. As long as they stay out of sight, they would be safe."

After leaving those words, she left. 

She have to go to the fifth floor quickly while her body could still move. She ran to the elevator. However, all of them were full. It would take more time just to wait for a single one of them to arrive on this floor.  The employees must have heard the gunshot downstairs and must have panicked.

She glanced at the private elevator. Riding the private elevator was not an option. Those people must have been waiting for her.

What she should do?

She turned to one of the stairs and ran down. She had to leave this floor since the men were going in this direction. She had to arrive on the fifth floor.

However, her steps were getting heavier. She could not feel her legs anymore.

Tang Xinyang felt her breath was getting heavier. She took off her mask and threw it away. She clenched her already numb fingers and took the knife on her suit pocket with difficulty. She gripped her hand around the knife's blade.

Blood bloomed on her palm. When she felt the slight pain from her hand, Tang Xinyang could finally gain her senses. Her feet that seemed to weigh a hundred pounds started running again.

However, after a while, the numbness kicked in again. Her sight was getting blurry. She cut her palm too deep. The open wound was bleeding with so much blood.

Finally, her legs collapsed. She could not move them anymore. She wanted to raise her hand to crawl but even her fingers won't move.

'Move! I need to move!'

Tang Xinyang's fingers slightly shook. But that was all she can do before losing control of her body.

She tried to open her mouth, but like the rest of the body, it remained unresponsive. She could not even shout for help. If she stayed like this, she might lose consciousness due to blood loss before the attackers come. 

Tang Xinyang looked at the glaring number seven on the wall.

Only two floors left, she could finally see Jang Shin.

A series of rush footsteps came from above. Tang Xinyang's heart pounded.

When she saw three masked men, her hope was crushed.

"She's here!"

Tang Xinyang could only glare at them. The men picked her up and glanced at her wound.

One of them chuckled, "What a tenacious girl. She even last this long in that drug. Even our men were beaten by it after a minute. She truly has skills. It's a good decision that we drugged her."

The others chuckled too, "If we confront her, a lot of us would die in her hands. Master's plan is always flawless-"

Bang!

The man who was speaking was shot to the head. His eyes were wide as he looked down and see a young man in a dashing suit pointing his gun at him. He plopped to the ground, dead.

Jang Shin's eyes swept past the blood on the ground and the motionless Tang Xinyang. His eyes turned even redder, "Get your hands off her!"

...

At this moment, the hall was still chaotic due to the fight between Zhou Min and the bearded man. Since the two were both experts of the same caliber, they did not hold back and lashed out great strength in their every attack.

The already messy hall became even more frenzied. Tables were overturned, the nearby chairs were all broken and the shards of glass flew in every direction.

The guests who were hiding under the table felt more danger due to the expert's fighting. Since the intruders already left the hall except the one Zhou Min was fighting, the guest gained courage and withdrew from their hiding place. They went to the farthest corner away from the battle. 

Tang Yin finally got her hand back from Mistress Tang's hold. She ran out and sneakingly ran past the fight.

"Yin'er!" Mistress Tang tried to hold her again but it was already too late. Tang Yin had already covered a great distance.

The bearded man saw that there was another person who wants to run after his team. He defended Zhou Min's attacks then retreated to block Tang Yin's way. But would Zhou Min let him?

The bearded man was focused on not letting Tang Yin away, this gave Zhou Min a chance to get the upper hand.

In the bearded man's moment of carelessness and distraction, Zhou Min appeared before him. He gathered all his qigong just to be fast twice as he was before, held the knife, and stabbed the man in the chest.

Zhou Min was too fast, that the bearded man could only see blurriness in front of him before he felt pain in his upper thorax. He tried to retreat with the knife embedded in his chest, however, Zhou Min saw through his actions. Before he stepped back, Zhou Min head-butted him and did not give him a chance to retreat. 

Bam!

The bearded man was unprepared for the headbutt. He get dizzy from the pain and took a couple of steps back due to the force. Before he could recover his senses, a punch was aimed at his face. 

Bam!

His head swayed as blood splattered from his broken teeth and the blood from his chest.

But Zhou Min was not yet done.

He raised his feet and hit the man's neck. Zhou Min's qigong were all gathered into his feet. That kick sent the bearded man to one of the broken tables. His bloodied body flew away.

Crash!

A loud sound engulfed the hall before the room became quiet.

The guests in the hall did not dare to breathe loudly. They were all spectators of the fight. They wanted to check if the man under the broken tables and chairs was still alive. However, they were all afraid of Zhou Min. That man had just appeared and disappeared like a shadow and sent a burly man flying!

Zhou Min retreated his feet. His face was cold. He approached the bearded man. 

Seeing the man was knocked unconscious but still had a breathe left, Zhou Min narrowed his eyes. That kick would break his neck and kill him. Yet the man managed to protect his neck with qigong as his last retort. However, his last surge of qigong was not enough to completely block Zhou Min's attack. Thus, he was sent flying and fainted.

Zhou Min stood up after confirming the man's state. His thoughts flooded.

How could a great expert like him remain hidden from the martial arts world? 

He, who had his pride in gathering information, was not even aware of this man's existence or the others who came here with him.. With their abilities, the Tang's experts would really have a difficult time fighting them.
