Chapter 565 - MURDER HOUSE (2/2)
”Can I say no?” Beatrice asked.
Hu Lei laughed again. ”You are my bodyguard, aren't you?”
Beatrice felt uncomfortable at the reminder. When she was hired, she did think that she would be needed to protect Hu Lei. And when she met Hu Lei, she looked like she was a small bird that needed to be shielded.
But why did she feel like she was being targeted by a predator?
”Choose your battle scene!” Hu Lei gestured with a toothy smile.
In the end, Beatrice had to capitulate. She chose the boxing ring and put on the gloves. She stretched her muscles and moved her head from side to side. She tried to psyche herself up. Even though Hu Lei was flexible and strong, it was not the same as boxing.
Beatrice had participated in high-level boxing for a long period as part of her training.
”As long as you can hit me, it will be your win.” Hu Lei said as she joined her.
”Aren't you going to use a helmet or gloves?” Beatrice asked when she realised that Hu Lei was still in her fitted activewear.
”No. I will not fight back. In return, you cannot quit until I say so.” Hu Lei said. ”Begin!”
Beatrice attacked out of instinct. She did not even think about protesting. Her moves were a little cautious at first because she was afraid of hurting her. However, she realised that Hu Lei was dodging her too casually.
She intensified her attacks, but she still could not touch Hu Lei. The entire experience was so frustrating that she wanted to quit, but she remembered the precondition. She could not stop until Hu Lei allowed her.
In the end, after almost forty minutes, Beatrice collapsed with weak legs and arms. Hu Lei leaned over her and tilted her head as she stared from above. Her eyes had a detached appearance as if she was looking at an interesting experiment.
”You did better than I expected.” Hu Lei said.
Beatrice could not even lift a finger.
”Do you need a clean-up crew?” Zhong Feng spoke up.
Hu Lei changed from a cold machine to a cute and obedient bird. The bird flew from the ring and rushed to the new person in the gym. She hopped onto Zhong Feng's body and hang onto him like a koala. She smooched his lips.
”No need. She is still alive.” Hu Lei replied. ”Let's go in.”
”…” Beatrice wondered if she had walked into a murder house as the couple left her in the ring.
”I will call someone from the Jiang family to pick her up.” Zhong Feng said.
”Alright.” Hu Lei said obediently.
”Mother and Father are here for a visit.” Zhong Feng said.
”Oh joy!” Hu Lei said sarcastically.
”Should I send them away?”
”Not necessary.” Hu Lei said. ”Let them see Wang Lei tonight.. It will be a while before they can see him again.”
