Campus Rebirth: The Strongest Female Agent

Chapter 117: Before The Fight

Snake.Lizard had told Xu Zetian before she left that she would have Yun Jian replace her for the fight tonight.

When Xu Zetian heard the news, he was utterly dumbfounded but he consented to it ultimately.

He had no right to deny the decision of a Gu Sha Mercenaries’ higher-ranking superior anyway. It was already a delight that they had sent someone to help him.

Though from another perspective, what capabilities did this small and frail-looking young lady have that would win the match for him? After all, each person assigned by the Gu Sha Mercenaries was remarkable in their abilities, not one could be underestimated.

Yun Jian had met Xu Zetian’s underling too, so the man recognized her.

Xu Zetian’s subordinate was named Duan Lei. He was a lofty man with a brawny build, the second in charge after Xu Zetian in the Dragon Head Gang.

“Miss Yun!” Duan Lei greeted her respectfully when he saw Yun Jian.

Yun Jian was young but he was reverent towards her. It was implied that she was adequately capable if she dared fight in today’s knock-out match.

Yun Jian nodded faintly and told Duan Lei in a hushed voice, “I’m with my friends. I’ll come over again when the match starts.”

She then turned to leave on her own. She was only here to show her face and inform Duan Lei that she was already here.

On the other side, Gu Hao and friends were staring at Yun Jian in amazement.

They could not hear the conversation between Yun Jian and Duan Lei but despite the distance, they could see that the latter was respectful toward Yun Jian.

“Do you know him? He’s the assistant to the mafia boss!” Representing everyone’s suspicion, Gu Hao asked Yun Jian with a sideways glance.

Without a word, Yun Jian pressed her lips together into a grin. Passing by the confused kids, she went to Chen Xinyi.

“Tsk, what’s the girl acting all mysterious about? Does she think she’s someone awesome? Does she think that she’s better than the mafia boss? What a loser!” A girl could not help chastising out loud to please Gu Hao, when she saw Yun Jian ignoring the boy. She was also secretly rolling her eyes at Yun Jian.

When she chided Yun Jian, she was especially loud, almost worried that the latter would not hear her. Even Duan Le who was standing incredibly far heard the girl’s amplified voice. He could not help frowning but remained silent. When the girl saw that Yun Jian was not bothered with her after grumbling some more, she shut her mouth realizing that there was nothing to gain.

Yun Jian was already back, sitting in between Chen Xinyi and Zhang Shaofeng whilst beaming at them.

Gu Hao and his friends sat down after picking their spots as well. The ardent interest of the passionate youths showed distinctly on their faces.

It was apparent that the ring match today represented either an anticipation, aspiration, or ambition of theirs.

After a long time of sitting, Yun Jian saw Duan Lei waving at her from afar, understanding immediately this was the signal that the match was starting soon. She turned to Chen Xinyi and said, “I’ll be going to the washroom.”

She did not directly tell her that she was going to fight in the ring. Although Chen Xinyi and others would find out sooner or later, she knew that they would not believe her if she told them so right now. Concluding, she might as well let them see it with their own eyes.

“Huh? But the fight’s about to begin. Go quickly, Jian Jian. Oh right, do you know where the washroom is? Do you need me to go with you?” offered Chen Xinyi kindly.

“No, it’s okay.” Yun Jian shook her head with a grin, flashing her pearly whites.

After that, she hopped off the low platform and made her way around the ring swiftly to the back of the arena.

No one saw that Duan Lei had also gone in after Yun Jian entered the backstage.
