“Are you gonna put me under house arrest? How dare you! Do I need your permission to go anywhere?” Yan Fangyu sneered, then immediately stood up and walked toward the door with big steps.

“Duan Juan, guide Miss. Yan back to her room,” Lin Qiao said to Duan Juan who was remaining silent the whole time. The expressionless Duan Juan immediately moved her feet and blocked Yan Fangyu’s way.

With no expression, she said to the other, “Miss. Yan, please don’t be stubborn. It’s better for you to follow us back to your own room. Making our Chief mad won’t do you any good.”

“You want me to go back to my room? I just want to ask you if you’re capable enough to make me do that. Tell Yuan Tianxing to come over, then I might do what you said for his sake,” Yan Fangyu said to Duan Juan with a cold smile.

“I’m sorry…” Duan Juan frowned. She was only at level five, so she felt quite stressed while facing the level-six Yan Fangyu. But still, she responded without wavering. “Forget about that. A woman like you who’s been hiding your ugly heart with the good appearance will never have a chance with our Deputy Chief Xiao.”

“What did you say?” Yan Fangyu stared at Duan Juan as her face darkened instantly, and the look in her eyes immediately turned cold and vicious.

Meanwhile, Duan Juan looked back at her calmly.

Yan Fangyu spent a few seconds staring at her, then narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly swung a palm at the other. That palm of hers released a scorching hot flame on its way.

She had moved swiftly, and the fiery palm of hers nearly reached Duan Juan’s chest within a blink of an eye.

Duan Juan made a step backward timely. However, there were people behind her. She managed to react, but the people behind her didn’t, so they disabled her from moving further backward.

Puff! An arm shielded Duan Juan from the Yan Fangyu’s attack, then turned and shoved her to the side.

Yan Fangyu staggered. Before she could react, her hands were clasped, and then someone pushed her back and pressed her face against the wall, disabling her from moving.

“You’re a level-six superpowered person and a Deputy Chief, but you still need to pay for that life which you just took. So, get ready to die. Don’t think that you can walk away from this base unharmed,” Lin Qiao’s bland voice could be heard from behind.

“You! Let go of me! I am telling you… if you dare to hurt me, Sea City Base will make you pay! Our Chief Zou will make you pay!” Yan Fangyu struggled. She tried to turn her head back, but that person who had been pressing her on the wall was much stronger than her, so she couldn’t move at all.

Once she finished talking, someone suddenly grabbed the back of her head and pushed her face against the wall.

Thud! “Ouch!” Yan Fangyu’s forehead bumped against the wall, making her utter a scream in the pain while seeing stars in front of her eyes.

“I don’t care about your Chief Zou. I let you live because Wu Chengyue has helped me quite a lot. You are coveting my base, so don’t think that I’ll let you go. I won’t kill you… I’ll wait for Wu Chengyue to come here and deal with you himself,” Lin Qiao violently pressed her head against the wall, then put her mouth near her ear and whispered to her.

After that, she abruptly put both hands on Yan Fangyu’s shoulders before pinching and pressing.

“Ah!” Yan Fangyu let out another shrill scream as she raised her head high; small drops of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.

Lin Qiao let go of her and took a step backward.

After that, Yan Fangyu dropped her arms which had been disabled from moving, and then slid down against the wall until she was sitting on the ground.

“Take her back to her room. I’ve disjointed her arms, so she won’t be able to cause troubles for now. Yet, keep an eye on her, in case she comes up with some evil plan,” Lin Qiao said to Duan Juan, then turned and walked back to the conference table, leaning on it.

Lin Qiao disjointed her arm, so she wouldn’t be able to use her superpower again.

“Yes,” Duan Juan nodded and responded, then waved a hand, signaling for Li Hongsheng to come over. After that, they directly dragged Yan Fangyu’s disjointed arms upward.

“Hm!” Yan Fangyu clenched her teeth to endure the pain as she turned and glared at Duan Juan. Her feet were barely on the ground as she was dragged out of the room by Duan Juan and Li Hongsheng.

Not long after they left, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and the others came over in a haste.

“What’s happening?” Yuan Tianxing’s hair were still moist. He had just come out of a shower and didn’t even have the time to dry his hair before his subordinates told him that something had happened in the conference room.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was on the bed when his people informed him about that.

“The ones who are on duty, go back to your positions. The others can go and rest now,” Lin Qiao gave her order to the group of people outside the door.

Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng came in, each finding a seat.

“Just now, that woman was here, trying to steal some confidential files. She killed the guard. I’ve disjointed her arms and told Duan Juan to lock her up.” Lin Qiao glanced at the two of them and said with a bland tone.

“Steal confidential files? She actually did that!” Yuan Tianxing looked at Lin Qiao expressionlessly. That daily smile of his had disappeared from his eyes, replaced by a trace of coldness.

Lin Feng sat by his side, staying silent.

“I wonder how you would feel if you had seen his arrogant face after being caught. She thought I didn’t dare to do anything to her,” Lin Qiao said with a faint smile.

She meant that they had missed a great show.

“No way! She got caught. How arrogant could she possibly be?” Yuan Tianxing asked with surprise.

“Why not? She’s a Deputy Chief, and a pretty lady. Women are naturally under protection in this post-apocalyptic era. Every base will try its best to reduce the death penalty for women, so she thought she has nothing to be afraid of. So of course, she can be arrogant,” Lin Qiao said.

“You’re right though… I really didn’t think that she’d be this kind of person,” Yuan Tianxing knew Yan Fangyu slightly better than the others. He had a pretty good impression of her originally, so now, he couldn’t even believe that she actually had done something like that. He felt like she had suddenly become another person.

“I thought she wouldn’t make a move so fast, but unexpectedly, she did it. That woman’s brain doesn’t work so well,” Lin Qiao shook her head and clicked her tongue.

Lin Feng looked at Lin Qiao, then at Yuan Tianxing, “What should we do with her now? She’s a Deputy Chief of Sea City Base. If we hurt her, we’ll become Sea City Base’s enemy, won’t we?”

“We don’t need to do anything here. I’ll let Wu Chengyue do it himself. She’s one of his people anyway. He’ll be dealing with her. If he refuses to give us a satisfactory explanation, we’ll think it as returning his favor for sending so many workers to us. In the future, we’ll just stay on our own side,” said Lin Qiao with a bland tone.
