Chapter 244: Vulnerable

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes in determination, as she let go of the dead body in her arms.

*Thud*

The body fell motionless on the floor and the atmosphere thickened.

During that brief second, there was stillness among both sides. Everyone looked at each other, frozen, with their expressions unreadable.

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at everyone. Her eyes flicked from Bei Ye to Fu Xiaolan. A silent agreement seemed to flash in their eyes, as the three started attacking.

The chaos ensued.

Jiang Yue braced herself, despite it was the first time she was in a real fight for her life. There was no pressure on her face, no fear, no pain or pleasure.

She ignored the gush of pain, jolting in some parts of her body. Her stomach ached. 'Must be another hit,' she thought, as she brought a fist to a man's face, snapping his nose.

Jiang Yue felt how her arm loosened. She was getting exhausted. It was not a fair fight in the first place, and the size and strength of their enemies had taken their toll on her. However, she also understood, in this kind of fighting, there was no fairness in any way. It was not a new concept to anyone in this room.

Anyway, it did not stop her. She let out a grunt, as she balled her fist and collided it onto someone's cheekbone. Her adrenaline was rushing, as she tried to regain her wavering strength.

These men were all well trained, so it was indeed reasonable for Jiang Yue to find it difficult to beat them up. Moreover, they were heavily outnumbered. However, it didn't stop Jiang Yue from killing two of the men, who had already fought with her. Her movements were agile as she stepped back, evading a kick that was directed at her. "Is this all you have got?" she asked, wiping the blood from her lips.

Her blood hummed, as her determination took over. It was either her or them. And she would definitely choose herself: always.

Jiang Yue clearly knew, taking down these men would not give her any pleasure. But it was unavoidable. Defending her life with killing them, was not cruelty for her, it was justified and reasonable.

She let out another inaudible sound, as she attacked one of the guys, who was attacking Bei Ye. She had already taken down three of the men, however, it was still far from enough. They were still outnumbered, and their strength was gradually dwindling down.

Then, screams broke out... another group of men rushed inside of the room. Someone was shouting orders, footsteps and fighting everywhere. Guns were shooting... more shouting.

Jiang Yue tried to process everything, yet her consciousness was just telling her one thing: fight.

Fight them to death.

Jiang Yue swung her tight fist again, however, this time, someone hugged her from behind. Trapping her in a maneuver that she was not familiar with.

"Young Miss... it's me... it's me... you're safe. Calm down. Calm yourself." Wang Bolin's voice seemed to echo in her mind, as her breath became shallow. Her consciousness ebbing... but she tried her best to stay put. To stay awake.

She looked at the scene in front of her before letting out a sigh of relief.

Finally, Wang Bolin was here.

.....

Jiang Yue looked at her bloodied knuckles before touching her bleeding lips. She couldn't recall the exact things that had happened in the fight. All she knew was that they won.

She was safe. Everyone was safe too. And they were the winner.

"We got a total of three people. The others are either dead or unable to speak." Wang Bolin informed her. "Bei Ye and Fu Xiaolan got some bruises, nothing major."

Jiang Yue just stared at Wang Bolin, her gaze blank before it turned into something ferocious. "Find out who the leader is before you kill everyone. Leave those three alive."

Wang Bolin just nodded. However, he did not leave Jiang Yue's side. His gaze was unfathomable. "Fu Jin is coming. He will arrive in an hour."

Jiang Yue let out another sigh in response."Did you tell grandfather?"

"No. Just like what you have instructed. Young Master Minghua is also on his way here. I have already informed him not to tell Old Master about this."

"Good." she nodded before clenching her jaws. Then she asked, "How many?"

At first, Wang Bolin was taken aback by her question. "Two," he answered, his gaze never leaving Jiang Yue's bloodied face. "You killed two of them."

Seeing Jiang Yue in a daze, Wang Bolin chose not to leave.

At this point, Jiang Yue was deep in thoughts. She had killed two people without even batting an eye. This time she did not feel anything. No guilt, no pain, no pleasure.

It felt like she had already been used to killing someone. Jiang Yue laughed at her thoughts. This was the second case that she had been forced by the circumstances to kill someone. However, she knew that this would not be the last. Not when their enemies were lurking everywhere.

She closed her eyes, as she felt the dull ache in some parts of her body. The pain that she felt, was somehow making her happy.

It was a sign that she was still a human being.

Alive and vulnerable.
