Chapter 139 - A Girl Like Her

After a restful morning, Shi Ai and Ah Haileft for KSS together. But they were in for a shocking scene. There was only a single person present. Shot. And he seemed to be in a panic. The moment, Ah Hai entered followed by Shi Ai, Shot stopped them midway.."I am sorry Ah Hai . But Xu Likun has created a mess. You know she is headstrong,but I did not accept her to behve this way. She has gathered everyone in the company by sending a memo about her pending competition with sister in law. And almost everyone is gathered here. Some of the online media portals have also gained knowledge of this. I tried persuading her once I came to know that she had planned to put on but now it has snowballed. Only you can dissuade her. do something."

Ah Hai's eyes narrowed at Xu Likun's tactic. In reality he had been expecting such a move. Every fighter and guard who worked for him had their unique styles. Xu Likun's style was to back her opponent into a corner and then beat them.That is what he had been planning to talk to Shi Ai about that night but amidst the things that happened that night and then yesterday,the talk had totally slipped his mind. Though he could not bring himself to regret anything. Shrugging his shoulders,he ordered Shot,"Explain properly."

"Sigh!Everyone is gathered in the gym room for the challenge between your wife and Xu Likun. She had already set the terms for the first two competitions and two have to set by Shi Ai. Most of our people who have been with us since the beginning are actually infuriated with Xu Likun for creating a spectacle while the others are simply curious about Shi Ai. But either way, it is your face that has been put on betting. Actually everyone believes that Shi Ai does not need to excel in all these things but with Xu Likun challenging and Shi Ai's acceptance,they feel that now Shi Ai needs to show her potential or she should not have accepted the challenge.

So naturally today every person is present upstairs to understand the challenge rules that will be set and start the challenge immeidately, She wants to use the masses so that you have no wiggle room left to save Shi Ai from humiliation. She is bent in insulting her."

Ah Hai and Shi Ai turned to look at each other and then nodded in understanding. Shot,who was observing this silent conversation was left amazed. They were indeed childhood sweethearts. they could communucate without opening their mouths. What Chemistry!

Shi Ai gave Shot and Ah Hai a reassuring glance and then said,"I am not worried. Please take me there."

Shot looked at Ah Hai with worried eyes. He was the one who had trained Xu Likun in the earlier days so he knew her strength then and now. He had been waiting here to tell Ah Hai to think of a solution to cancel this unprecedented event. Because,either way if this happened, Xu Likun was dead and there may happen more casualties. There were bets being placed among the employees and the odds were not in Shi Ai's favour.

But not it was too late. Shi Ai had already marched ahead like a bullet which had left the gun. Now whether the bullet hit it's mark or not depended on fate.

The gym room was actually a wide and open space built for the members of KSS. It had sections for combat training and sparring,endurance training and a shooting range. This occupied an entirety of two floors built into one so that there was an upper section and lower section. There was also an area for sitting in case someone wished to relax and observe. The gym room was usually used when new recruits were hired or if someone wanted to settle scores in a satisfactory way. But today it was full of excitement and curiosity. There was nobody who had not heard of the events that happened two days ago and they could hardly wait to watch a good show. 

While everyone chattered and gossiped among themselves,there were five people who stood to the side on the upper floor. These were the five top men in KSS after Shot and Ah Hai himself. They were the ones who had followed Ah Hai when he had left the military. They had been at the peak of their careers and gambled everything to come here. They had stood by him through the years and today they stood here to see the woman who he chosen to stand with him. These men,like Shot had left their real names and identities behind only using their pseudo army names. They were called Dodge, Viper, Razer, King and Knox. They could be considered the five pillars of KSS' success

These men could be imposing or invisible as they wished. At present,though they stood silently,each one was having his own thoughts. Dodge and Viper were married so they were not very sure of this farce of a challenge. They firmly believed that their women needed to be protected and cherished. Also by putting Ah Hai in the middle, Xu Likun had shown rebellion towards their boss,which was intolerable and also wrong. It was alright as long as he had been unmarried but marriage was not something thatanyone could interfere in. Being Ex army men,their moral code was very strict. 

Razer, King and Knox on the other hand were here just out of boredom. They had no stance regarding this challenge and like everyone here came to watch a good show. They had all heard about Shi Ai and even remembered the time when a few years back Ah Hai had almost killed a few people when his girl was in danger in the hospital. Today,they were going to take a look at the girl who had the guts to capture the Ice Man's heart and keep it under her control.

Just then Ah Hai and Shot entered the room followed by a dainty woman. Each of the five men were shocked when they saw this woman. Da** it! This was obviously what one would call a delicate beauty!How was she going to fight Xu Likun when it looked as if a strong breeze would blow her over.
