36 Chapter 36: Beat up (1/2)
This may be the most hectic and incredible thing Xiulan has ever done in her entire life. Who would have known that she will reach this kind of effort in following dangerous men just to save the country.
Xiulan has sweated too much and it shows on the big sweatdrops on her forehead and neck.
Same with Lau Zhu, they were almost dying from the heat inside the a cramped dusty room.
They followed the group of suspicious men and hid beside a piles of old broken chairs and tables.
The punks started to have a meetup inside an abandoned room of the arena. Three men are watching the performance through peeking in the blinders while the two familiar faces and another bald guy are on guard near the door. One man was lazily napping in a tattered old couch.
”Should we attack now?” Xiulan silently muttered to Lau Zhu while she secretly tries to capture a video and images of these men using the camera of her tablet. She must need their pictures while their faces are exposed.
”If it were me, I would have attacked them as soon as I saw them.” Lau Zhu impatiently muttered beside Xiulan. She waswaiting for the right timing but the heat makes her so impatient that she just wanted to get this over.
”There are too many of them right now. Can we even beat up more than three? There are like 7 of them together.” Xiulan concernly asked. She's not confident with her physical fighting skills if there are a lot of people to beat up. She might get knocked out if she made a mistake. Also the group of men has not made any suspicious movement yet.
”You have me here. I can beat them all up.” Lau Zhu confidently and arrogantly said.
”Zhu-ah... please be humble.” Xiulanshakes her head and grinned. ”But joking aside, what if they have guns?” Xiulan worriedly asked.
”I can easily dodge it. Just trust me okay? Do you know how to knock out people using pressure points?” Lau Zhu said while she concentrated at the movements of each men.
”Yes. But I'm not confident with my strength. Though I have a baton with me. I can knock them out in one hit using this.” Xiulan said and glanced at her extending baton. She specifically bought this for this mission. She want to thank her father and her kendo master that they thought her about the deadly pressure points of the human body.
”Good. Missus, just watch my back and also concentrate on those punks who are facing away from you then knock them out with the baton.” Lau Zhu firmly instructed.
Xiulan nodded and watches Lau Zhu rise from their hideout.
Lau Zhu swiftly and quietly tiptoed like a burglar towards a safe and hidden spot to start her attack. Then she stopped and quickly peek at their targets and hid her head again. She squatted to get something from her bag. She pull out a black thick rope to use for strangling.
”Man, I'm beat up. The last practice with the chief made my whole legs paralyzed for three days and now we have this mission. I was not informed.” one the punkswith bald head devastatingly complained.
”Weak shit.You should have stayed behind.The chief wanted to make sure we will do our jobs properly today. The two idiots were such a failure.” the guy with red streaks on his head arrogantly said and lazily pointed the two familiar punks using his mouth. He was lying down on the sofa and was napping awhile ago. It causes the three men to be surprised by his sudden muttering.
The two familiar idiots he was pertaining to glared at the man with red streaks on his hair.
”What did you say? If you got something to say then say it to our faces” the familiar punk with brown hair said and taunted the man with red streaks. He even went close to the arrogant man and taunts his target with an evil glare.
The red streak haired guy also stands up from his seat and gave off the same arrogant energy. They were now both in a raging staring contest. They only stared at each other for a minute and hasn't landed any punches.
”Now now... calm down everyone. Fight all you want later after this mission.” the bald guy who said he was paralyzed for three days tried to coax the two arrogant punks.
”Idiots.” Lau Zhu mouthed and rolled her eyes. She mocks the two men who can't even start to punch each other and would rather glare at their opponent instead. Seeing this kind of behavior from her targets made her underestimate them more. She can't wait to kick their asses and show them what a real fight is.
Instead of attacking them quietly like what their original plan was, she decided to change it and taunt them directly and exposing herself to the enemies.
”Hey boys.” Lau Zhu revealed herself from their dark hiding place. Xiulan was shocked by the sudden actions of Lau Zhu.This was not their plan and she doesn't get why Lau Zhu has to reveal herself like that. She's like courting death. She wanted to stop her but she must hide for now.
”What the--!? Where the hell did you come from?”the baldguy who was coaxing his team blurted out. He was surprised to see someone other than his team here. Add to his shock that it was a random lady. What is a woman doing in a dark place like this? To get in this place they must go to a very dark hallway with full of garbage and dusty old furnitures. This place was far from the public.
”I heard people talking so I have to check. What are you guys doing here? Hmm?” Lau Zhu tried to act dumb and make them spill some info.
”It's none of your business, woman. Get out of here now before we do something to you.” The red streak haired dudethreatens and glared at Lau Zhu. He was trying to be nice. It's just one woman. No need to be cruel.
”I'm interested with that something.” Lau Zhu cheekily said and annoyingly smirked at the punks.
”Lau Zhu-ah... why you must taunt them like this.” Xiulan silently mutters. All she can do right now was to wait for Lau Zhu to attack them before she supports her in the battle.
”Woman... you're courting trouble. Get out!” The red streaks haired guy exclaimed and his patience to Lau Zhu was running out. He was really trying to be nice but the woman was taunting him.
Lau Zhu smirked. ”What if I don't??” She annoyed them more.
”This bitch won't just budge.” the bald guy said. Then he tries to grab Lau Zhu's arm.
Lau Zhu immediately dodges the bald guy and intimidatingly glared at him.
”This place is abandoned. Why are students like you doing in here?” Lau Zhu's mood suddenly changed and she acted like a marshal of the arena. She pointed out the word students since they were wearing school uniforms.
”Ahhh... this lady is so annoying.” the red streaks haired guy muttered. ”Finish her! She has seen too much.” he loudly instructed to everyone.
The men tried to group around her so they can start torturing her. They all thought she's an idiot to come here by herself and interrogate them.
Lau Zhu smirked at them. ”Bunch of babies. Trying to beat up one woman. So shameful.” she commented and annoyed them more.
The men were ticked off by her words.Now they are really irritated and want to hurt her more.
”Bitch!” the bald guy passionately exclaimed and tried to punch Lau Zhu.
Lau Zhu easily dodges the bald guy's punch and gutted him directly on his stomach causing the bald man to suddenly fall on his knees and grunted painfully.
His other comrades were alarmed by the sudden actions of the woman. Now they realize she's not an ordinary lost woman. They looked at their red streaks haired leader to wait for their next action.
”Who are you working for?” the red streaks haired guy suddenly asks. He saw the fast reflexes of this mysterious woman. He speculated that she's part of a secret organization or NBI. But all he knows right now was that there are no groups yet who managed to tail them. If this woman knows that they are terrorists, his boss must know.
”Of course, I'm working for the government.” Lau Zhu said and gave off a devil smile.
”Bullshit.” The guy rebuted. They have someone working in the government to mislead the NBI or whoever tries to hunt them. So this woman was bluffing. But who could be the one trying to make trouble with them.
Xiulan and Lau Zhu now got some answers. By his response, he just revealed that they have a connection to someone in the government. Xiulan's hunch was true then. Thank goodness she never tried to give them the acquired info she got for so many months.
”Whoever you are working for, all of you won't see the light. Finish her!” The man angrily instructed and he quickly leftthe room. He must report this to the chief immediately.
Lau Zhu cannot let this man get away so she immediately tries to knock outthe men who attempted to get in her way.
