The same time Lu Tian entered the doors of Spring, back at his and Yue Ling's home, the retired model sat alone in the living room.
She had eaten dinner and taken a shower as she waited for Lu Tian to come home. Sleeping was another option, but without the male human and Samoyed in the house, she couldn't bring herself to sleep.
Wearing a comfortable set of loungewear, she decides to watch a drama since Inu was staying at the Ji Mansion. Not only that, Liu Shan and Lin Hui had called to let her know that they were coming over to report something they found.
*Ding Dong
As Yue Ling was immerse in the drama, the doorbell suddenly rings. Her head turns in the direction of the front door and she stood up from the couch.
It was only 8pm, so Lu Tian shouldn't be home yet since she already knows what he is doing right now. So it could only be her two subordinates.
Reaching the door, she doesn't check the window but opens it for Liu Shan and Lin Hui.
"Liu Shan, Lin Hui, what is—"
Just when she pulled open the door, all the lights inside flickers off and darkness engulfs the house.
Her eyes quickly adjusts to the pitch-black darkness that was not only inside but also outside.
She could make out a dark slender figure standing on the porch. However, she knew that whoever it was, was staring right back at her.
In seconds of realizing this, she knew right away that this person is neither Liu Shan nor Lin Hui.
*Swoosh—
The dark figure leaps forward and raises one of their arm as a punch is thrown her way. However, as a fighter herself, Yue Ling quickly raises both her arms out in front her and blocks the attack.
Only, due to the punch being a surprise attack, Yue Ling was pushed back inside the house.
Her feet stumbles back, but quickly steadying herself, her arms lower and she stares at the widely opened front door.
The figure had long hair that fluttered with the night breeze. One would think this person is a woman, but she could tell that it was a man due to his body structure and strength.
"Who sent you?"
Like her question had aroused interest in the unknown man, his head tilt slightly to the side.
"You're quick to understand. Do I need to answer?"
Yue Ling brows slightly furrow in the darkness when she heard the man. However, it wasn't because of his words, but his voice.
As she thought to herself, the man enters inside and closes the door. Seeing this, her eyes flash dangerously. She parts her lips to say something, but before she could utter a sound, the man leaps towards her.
His left arm raise, and he swings another fist in aim for her head.
Yue Ling's demeanor quickly changes, and her eyes lock on the man. She doesn't run away but dashes forward to meet him head on.
When his fist nears her head, her right arm lifts up to block the attack. Raising her left leg, she strikes a kick at his head.
However, unlike her past opponents, this man was quick to react. He swiftly stops her kick with his right hand.
"Interesting."
The man held her slender ankle and chuckles in a flirtatious tone. His voice was not too soft and not too deep. It was one that can make any woman blush shyly, but for Yue Ling, it made all the hair on body stand.
Not in a fearful way, but the kind of feeling one gets when they are disgusted by someone.
With her ankle captured, she doesn't try to move it away. Instead, using the chance of him holding firmly onto her ankle, she jumps off from the floor. Her right leg bends forward, and she knees the man in the chin.
"Ugh."
Taken by surprise, the man grunts and frees her left ankle. He stumbles back as Yue Ling swings her body back. Both her palms touch the floor as she does a back flip and positions her feet on the floor.
Not giving the man a chance to catch his breath, she lunges forward to strike another attack.
Her left feet steps onto the front of the man's right thigh and with her palm on his right shoulder, she jumps up. Raising her right arm, she bends it and strikes down on his head with her elbow.
Just when she was inches away from striking the top of his head, the man dodges the hit. Hit head tilts to the right and her elbow strikes down on his shoulder.
Not giving the man any more chances, she strikes him again with a slashing elbow to the side of his head.
The man did not expect her to do this and his head turns even more to the right as he falls onto the ground.
Yue Ling swiftly jumps down from him. Quickly as her feet touches the ground again, she knees the right side of his face with her left knee.
Although he was in pain, the man strikes a kick at Yue Ling that caused her to jump back. His palms touches the floor and he quickly gets up.
However, just when the man stood up, Yue Ling strikes again.
Her right arm encircles around the man's neck and she swings herself to get behind him. At the same time, her righthand grabs hold of her left bicep and both her legs wrap around his waist.
Using all her strength, she slams backwards onto the floor and hold the man in a rear naked choke.
She may look weak and fragile, but her strength is not lacking to any man's. Especially, if the person dares to enter her own home and attack her.
Tightening her arms and legs more, she doesn't care if the man was unable to breathe.
"Who sent you?!"
She growls dangerously as one twist from her can end the man's life.
"Who?!!"
"I… ugh…"
The man could feel all the blood inside him rush to his head from the choke. His tries to grab Yue Ling's arms to free himself, but her slender arms were like snakes wrapped tightly around its prey.
"I…I…"
He tries to answer her again, but no matter how much he tries to speak, her grip tightens more, and he was gradually losing his conscious.
Knowing he was going to either faint or die, he doesn't hesistate to slam his right palm onto the floor. His movement was like he is tapping out from a wrestling match.
"I asked you a question!!"
Yue Ling doesn't care about his plead for mercy. If she shows the slightly bit of sympathy for this man, it will be her who dies.
"Answer me! Is it Ning Mei?!!"
The man could not answer her but continue to tap his palm on the floor. He doesn't care about anything at this moment and only wish to be free from her arms. If she lets him go, he will definitely answer her.
As he did this, hurried footsteps sound from outside the porch then the front door forced open.
"Boss!!"
