Chapter 60: Choice
It’s better to drain the problem than to block it—whether it’s the Wang Family or the Qin family who are behind this, since the news has been uncovered, there is no need to cover it up anymore. Otherwise, it will definitely become a handle for the other party to threaten Qin Jiran or even her. Therefore, the best strategy is to report it first; by doing so, we can take the initiative in guiding public opinion and ensure that both Qin Jiran and the Su family occupy a more advantageous position.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yanyi couldn’t sleep anymore. She got ready and walked out of the bedroom, directly pushing open the door to Qin Jiran’s room, only to find that the bed was empty. Checking the time, it was just after five o’clock in the morning. Could this man possibly have gotten up so early?
Su Yanyi went downstairs to look for Qin Jiran, but no one was in the kitchen or the living room. Suddenly, she thought of the Positioning Function of the System. A few seconds later, the System responded that Mr. Qin was practicing in the yard.
When Su Yanyi found Qin Jiran, he was practicing boxing. It was hard to tell what style of boxing he was performing, but it was strong and vigorous, obviously not just for show. Su Yanyi’s eyes shone with excitement, feeling an itch to try it herself. From a young age, she had been learning various combat and survival skills. Her physical abilities were exceptional, although there were few occasions to use them. Now, seeing the man’s fierce form, she couldn’t help but want to move around as well.
Acting on her impulse, Su Yanyi didn’t give Qin Jiran any time to prepare. She dashed forward, her delicate fist carrying full force as she attacked Qin Jiran.
It was already a bit too late by the time Qin Jiran heard the sound. He dodged somewhat, but the fist still grazed his shoulder. The significant force made his body sway, but he quickly recovered, hastily retreating to avoid Su Yanyi’s following attacks, and just evading without countering.
"Fight back, or else I’ll beat you up," Su Yanyi shouted, both displeased and somewhat aggressive. Her movements quickened, proving that her words were no idle threat.
Qin Jiran could only bitterly smile, having never expected Su Yanyi to have this side to her. He braced himself and began to seriously engage, not minding if Su Yanyi really did beat him up. But it was clear that her current interest wasn’t as simple as just beating him up.
Qin Jiran’s movements were powerful, straightforward, and bold. In contrast, Su Yanyi’s moves were sharp, fast, and ruthlessly cunning. From their actions, it was evident that both of them had been trained for a long time, but their focuses were different. Qin Jiran’s style was more open and honorable, while Su Yanyi’s moves seemed overly lethal, causing Qin Jiran, who was reluctant to hit back, to struggle greatly in response. In just a few minutes, he had already taken several hits.
The fighting techniques Su Yanyi learned were all very practical; she even trained with some very well-known assassins, thanks to the resources available to the Su family. In comparison, Qin Jiran seemed at a disadvantage, especially because he excelled in strength, which he couldn’t use against Su Yanyi, naturally putting him on the back foot.
After hitting Qin Jiran several times, Su Yanyi’s fingers started to ache faintly. It had been a long time since she last trained in combat, and vigorous movements made it easier for her to injure herself, so she also lowered the intensity.
Qin Jiran immediately noticed the change in Su Yanyi. Seeing the faint sweat on her cool and calm face, he felt pity and changed his tactic, taking a punch from Su Yanyi with his body and managing to subdue her in the process.
