Chapter 23 Locked
The morning sun shone warmly on her, making Xia Xue restless and forcing her to get up.
Stepping onto the balcony, I looked up and took a deep breath; instantly, all my worries vanished.
Hoo hoo.
The sound of fighting came from downstairs.
Xia Xue looked in the direction of the sound.
In the center of the courtyard, a tall girl stood wearing a white long-sleeved Chinese-style jacket, matching Chinese-style trousers, and white cloth shoes with scattered red maple leaves embroidered on them.
Her clothes and shoes were clearly a set. Although each piece had its own unique characteristics, the overall effect was harmonious and natural, fully bringing out the few heroic spirits she possessed. This spirit, combined with her inherent intellectual aura, was both contrasting and unified, like a traditional Chinese ink painting that was eye-catching and unforgettable.
This girl is Xia Yao.
Her feet were neither too far apart nor too far apart, and her hands were positioned one in front of the other, one facing forward and the other backward.
She was surrounded by six female bodyguards dressed in black suits, wearing masks, boxing gloves, and protective gear on their elbows and knees.
Xia Yao suddenly moved, as if she had appeared beside the female bodyguard in an instant, and used her palm as a knife to slash at her neck.
Although the female bodyguard also had a neck brace, she instinctively used her left hand to block.
boom.
With her left hand, clad in a boxing glove, she struck the female bodyguard's mask hard, causing her to lose her balance and sway. Xia Yao's next attack was already in place, her left palm striking the female bodyguard's abdomen heavily.
The female bodyguard's abdomen should also be protected, but Xia Xue couldn't see it inside her clothes. However, this palm strike wasn't intended to hit her abdomen, but rather to attack the female bodyguard's already unstable balance.
With this blow, the female bodyguard could no longer maintain her balance, staggered backward, and fell to the ground.
Just then, the two female bodyguards behind her seized the opportunity when Xia Yao's moves were exhausted and she hadn't yet mustered any new strength. They decisively struck, aiming for Xia Yao's neck and knee respectively.
It was as if Xia Yao had eyes in the back of her head. She took a big step to the side, lowered her body, and slammed her right shoulder into the chest of the female bodyguard who was attacking her neck.
The female bodyguard seemed to have been hit by a car; her body flew backward and landed on the ground, thus exiting the battlefield.
But Xia Yao's actions weren't over yet. Using the force of the impact, Xia Yao turned her body and delivered a powerful side kick from below, striking the female bodyguard who had attacked her neck hard in the neck.
The female bodyguard quickly used her hands to protect herself, inevitably losing her balance. Xia Yao pressed her advantage, delivering a series of kicks. Her right foot struck the female bodyguard heavily from above, sending her sprawling to the ground.
At that moment, the attacks from the remaining three female bodyguards also arrived.
Xia Yao calmly dodged the three women's attacks and knocked them to the ground one by one.
The set of movements was fluid and effortless, clearly not using her full strength; this was not Xia Yao's limit.
Xia Xue lowered her eyes and smiled, clapping her hands in praise:
"That was a beautiful play."
Seeing that the match was over, Shen Yan quickly stepped forward and handed Xia Yao a towel.
While wiping her sweat, Xia Yao casually asked, "How's things going with the Ruan family?"
Shen Yan replied with a gentle smile, "Ruan Yi has been arrested. Ruan Chao has relinquished his position as CEO and transferred 10% of his shares to Ms. Ruan Ling."
Xia Yao tossed the towel in her hand to Shen Yan and said in a slightly cold tone, "Keep an eye on the Ruan family and Ruan Yi's case. Chop off anyone who tries to interfere. Tell Ruan Ling that I want two percent of the shares."
Xia Yao looked up and glanced at Xia Xue on the second-floor balcony.
"Xiaoxue and I will each have half."
Xia Xue chuckled softly upon hearing Xia Jue's decision.
"How much is one percent of the Ruan Group's shares worth at current market value? Five hundred million or six hundred million?"
Xia Xue stretched.
"That's a lot of money."
Xia Xue yawned.
"That's not enough."
Xia Xue turned around, her back to the sunlight, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Only by hurting them and teaching them a lesson will they dare not act so recklessly."
…to hurt others.
Xia Xue walked from the sunlight into the indoor space where the sunlight couldn't reach.
"Let's wait and see what our father's decision is."
"Beep beep beep..."
The laptop emitted a piercing ringtone.
"Huh, you found it so quickly?"
Xia Xue's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
"We were lucky; we found them in just one night."
Xia Xue walked quickly to the computer desk, clicked on the screen, and what came into view was that even more real and clear face.
"Chen Guodong".
Xia Xue opened the document.
"Living in the old town, the owner of the Chen Family Martial Arts School, and a Tai Chi teacher at the Senior University, wow, what a colorful life!"
Xia Xue closed her laptop, put it in her laptop bag, glanced around, and saw the painting on the easel. She simply put the easel and painting into her sketchbook, slung both bags over her shoulder, and carrying the sketchbook. Xia Xue turned to go downstairs, but suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead.
"I almost forgot to wash up."
Although her body was pure and flawless, and her breath was fragrant, so she could go without washing up, Xia Xue still maintained the habit of washing up.
"Life needs a sense of ritual."
Xia Xue changed her clothes, picked up the keys to the motorcycle worth 800,000 yuan that had just arrived yesterday, and raised an eyebrow.
"Perfect timing, let's go for a drive today."
Xia Xue grabbed her things and hurried downstairs.
"Father, I'm going to sketch."
Upon seeing Xia Jun, Xia Xue greeted him and was about to leave when Xia Jun called out to her.
"Go ahead and sketch, no one's stopping you. Why are you in such a hurry? Sit down and eat."
Zhang Ma, who was setting out the food nearby, smiled and said, "Miss, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast is bad for your health. For your own well-being, please eat breakfast before you go out."
Xia Xue reluctantly put down her things and sat down at the dining table.
"Thank you for your help, Aunt Zhang."
Xia Jun picked up the briefcase from the chair next to him, took out several documents, placed them on the table, and pushed them to Xia Xue.
"Signed."
Xia Xue held a steamed bun in one hand and casually flipped through documents with the other.
"Share transfer agreement of Morning Light Entertainment".
She knew that Xia Jun had invited her to dinner not just for the meal itself.
Xia Xue closed the file.
"Managing a company is too much trouble, let's just forget about it."
Xia Jun glared at Xia Xue.
"There's a dedicated team managing it, you don't need to worry about anything. You just need to do what you want. What, you don't want to film short dramas anymore?"
We still need to make short dramas.
Xia Xue thought for a moment, picked up the carbon pen tucked in the document, and signed her name on the document.
