To match the ancient-style garments of the Immortal Realm sects, the staff all wore matching outfits with a classical design.
The two old police officers easily pulled aside the staff member’s collar to check his chest.
A gentle press made the staff member cry out in pain.
“Preliminary assessment, the rib is broken.”
“How much force would it take to break a grown man’s rib like that?”
Hearing this, the whole group of officers turned their gazes to Chong Chong.
But when they clearly saw that the culprit was a petite and adorable girl, it nearly shattered their entire worldview.
No matter how you looked at her, this girl didn’t seem like someone who could break a grown man’s rib.
But the fact was right in front of them.
They had no choice but to accept it.
“Jingang Barbie?”
Those four words instantly flashed through the officers’ minds.
“Why are you all looking at me? I didn’t mean to, I just bumped into him lightly, and I’m fine myself. I think he probably got injured somewhere else.”
Chong Chong was still rather intimidated by the National Institution; the nervousness was almost written on her face.
What she said actually made some sense.
But after the two senior officers’ examination, the conclusion was still that it was caused by the collision.
“How strange.”
A delicate little girl broke a grown man’s rib, yet she herself was completely fine.
Could it be that she’s mastered the Jingang Buhuai Divine Skill?
“Call the 120 Emergency Center first and get him to a hospital, we’ll talk after that.”
After saying that, Chen Xiaoyan was about to pull out her phone, but when she reached into her pocket, her face changed slightly.
This chest-wrapped ancient-style garment didn’t even have any pockets.
Where’s my phone?
The first thing she thought of was that it must be in Mu Qingxue’s car.
“My phone’s in the Changing Room. Xiaoyan-jie, what about yours?” Chong Chong looked at Chen Xiaoyan.
“Uh, same here.”
“I’ll call.” One officer took out his phone and dialed the emergency number.
“Xiao An, the ambulance will probably take over ten minutes. Carry the injured person inside first, this is a corridor, don’t block the way.”
“Okay, Xu Lei Shushu.”
Wang Shian and Xu Lei helped the staff member into the greenhouse. As they brushed past Chen Xiaoyan and Chong Chong, Wang Shian couldn’t help but sneak another look at them.
As a hidden otaku, Wang Shian thought he was immune to girls in the three-dimensional world.
But when he saw Chen Xiaoyan and Chong Chong just now,
he was deeply stunned by their elegance.
It wasn’t because of their appearance, but because of the strange aura they gave off.
This indescribable temperament made Wang Shian want to get closer.
Xu Lei saw his disciple looking so absent-minded and smiled calmly.
“Those two girls aren’t ordinary; they probably don’t come from a regular family. If you have the ability, go for it.”
“No, Xu Lei Shushu, I don’t have that kind of intention. I just think their aura is really unique, so I’m a bit curious.”
Xu Lei agreed with that sentiment too.
After decades of living, it was his first time seeing girls with such a distinct temperament.
Seeing them was like seeing one’s own mother, making you want to draw nearer despite yourself.
Although the comparison was a bit exaggerated, that was just how it felt.
Chen Xiaoyan led Chong Chong along, and after entering the greenhouse, she called over a Xueyan Pavilion player to go inform Mu Qingxue.
After all, this was Mu Qingxue’s territory, so it’d be easier for her to handle things.
“Xiaoyan-jie, I really don’t think I’m that strong.” Chong Chong raised her hand and made a fist in front of the two of them.
She was clearly a frail girl who couldn’t even truss a chicken.
Maybe that guy’s just trying to scam me for compensation?
“Come, let’s test it.” Chen Xiaoyan suddenly reached her hand toward Chong Chong.
“What are you doing?”
“Grip it. Use your full strength. Let me feel it.”
Seeing that slender hand held out before her, Chong Chong’s eyes sparkled and she quickly nodded, “Okay, okay!”
Then, she quickly grabbed Chen Xiaoyan’s hand with both of hers and gripped it tightly.
Chen Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, a little displeased, and said sternly, “Be serious, no playing around.”
“Oh.” Reluctantly, Chong Chong let go with one hand and started gripping with just one.
At first, Chen Xiaoyan didn’t feel much, but gradually she realized just how terrifying this girl’s strength was.
As her finger bones groaned under the pressure, a sharp, bone-crushing pain shot through her heart, almost making her want to cry.
But she didn’t call for a stop.
She gritted her teeth and bore the pain.
No matter what, she was still a man; if a cute girl made her cry by squeezing her hand, that would be way too embarrassing.
I absolutely won’t let that happen.
Crack
A faint, crisp sound rang out. Chen Xiaoyan’s expression finally changed, and she shouted in a panic, “Okay, okay! Let go, let go!!!”
In the end, she was so anxious she even yelled.
Chong Chong was startled by the outburst and quickly let go.
Looking at her own pale little hand, Chen Xiaoyan saw that it had already turned red and puffy, like a pig’s trotter.
She felt like crying but had no tears.
“Xiaoyan-jie, are you alright?” Chong Chong shrank her neck timidly.
“I’m fine. I just wanted to see if Qingxue had arrived.” Chen Xiaoyan took a deep breath and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
She swore never to shake hands with this girl again.
A monster-strength loli, definitely not to be provoked.
No wonder her stats in the game were so strong—her real-life strength was nothing to scoff at either.
“So what if she comes? It’s not like she can make that guy recover instantly, right?” Chong Chong muttered unhappily.
“That waiter is one of Mu Qingxue’s people. If she handles it, it’ll be much more effective than anything we could do.”
Chong Chong didn’t argue.
Even though she really didn’t like that woman, Chen Xiaoyan was right.
Damn Capitalist.
Before long, they arrived.
Mu Qingxue wore sunglasses, her ancient-style white dress looking oddly out of place—she exuded a sense of temporal dissonance.
“Xiaoyan, what happened?”
Chen Xiaoyan recounted everything that had just occurred.
“That was Chong Chong who knocked him down?” Yilian Youmeng glanced at the staff member and returned looking shocked.
“Hmph, I suspect that guy was just trying to scam me for compensation.” Chong Chong crossed her arms, sulking.
“I don’t think so.” Chen Xiaoyan rubbed her own hand, recalling the recent pain, her voice trembling slightly.
Chong Chong stared blankly for a moment, confused at Chen Xiaoyan’s unexpected rebuttal.
“Don’t look at me like that. I really don’t think he was faking it.”
“Then why am I fine?”
Chen Xiaoyan averted her gaze and didn’t answer.
This is something you’ll have to figure out yourself.
“Why isn’t Xiaoyan-jie saying anything?”
“I’ll tell you after the gathering’s over.”
“Why not now?”
“It’s just not convenient.”
Not convenient?
Chong Chong’s eyes lit up.
Xiaoyan-jie means it’s not convenient because there are too many people and she wants to tell me privately after the gathering?
Hehe, just the two of us.
Mu Qingxue went to check on the injured staff member and then returned with the results.
“It’s fine, I’ve arranged for him to be sent to the hospital immediately.”
“Does Chong Chong need to go with him?”
“No need… Actually, maybe you should.”
Chong Chong was very annoyed at Mu Qingxue’s sudden change of mind.
“Hey, Miss Mu, you just said I didn’t need to, didn’t you?”
Mu Qingxue showed a look of innocent surprise, blinking her eyes.
“No, Miss Zhou, if you really don’t want to go, you don’t have to. I’ll do my best to keep you off Ming Tian Hot Search tomorrow.”
She put special emphasis on the words “do my best,” as if to remind Chong Chong of something.
