"It's none of your business."
Xia Liang would never tell Lu Yuan anything about Shen Jianyi. "It was a masked event anyway. I didn't tell her who you are, so don't ask others either."
The place they were in was not safe. In fact, it was rather dangerous.
The banquet hall doors were tightly shut. The whole banquet would last for three hours. So within these three hours, people could fight as they pleased, but they couldn't leave.
Lan Xi was already scared out of her wits. She hid under a table, hugging her knees and crying bitterly. "I should never have come. I should have just pretended I didn't receive the invitation."
But now that they were here, there was no use in complaining. No matter how scared she was, she had to bear it.
Lu Yuan stared intently at the woman standing in front of the cake table. She was extremely calm, showing no emotion in the face of what was happening.
Because of the red fox mask, Shen Jianyi found it impossible to eat. She put down the cake helplessly.
Gun mercilessly mocked her from the side. "You like red velvet so much that you didn't even notice you were wearing a mask?"
Shen Jianyi turned her head and watched the others fighting. Her tone was very flat. "I forgot."
People around them snickered. The two of them seemed to be watching a show, as if they were immune to the danger. Their calmness was bound to attract attention.
One of the men who had already lost his mind in the fight suddenly turned around and saw Shen Jianyi standing there, looking down on everything.
This made the man very unhappy. He even felt like attacking right away. He grabbed an iron rod that was propping up a curtain and swung it at Shen Jianyi.
Just as the iron rod was about to hit Shen Jianyi, almost at the same time, both she and Gun reached out. But it was Gun who managed to stop it steadily.
Shen Jianyi awkwardly withdrew her hand and put it behind her back. Her arms were just too short to block it.
Gun didn't even exert much effort. He casually snatched the rod, held it on both sides, and with a little force, snapped it in half.
When the man saw this, he panicked immediately. No wonder these two had been standing there so calmly. He didn't expect them to be so powerful.
"You... you're monsters!" He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and kept sliding backward. "That's an iron rod, and you just broke it!"
If the rod had hit Shen Jianyi, Gun really didn't know what he would have done. He stepped closer, stood in front of the man, and stepped on his right hand.
Then, Shen Jianyi walked over. Her face showed no emotion.
Standing there, they were more like two icebergs. One was colder and more ruthless than the other.
The man finally came to his senses and realized what a stupid thing he had done. He had really met some powerful people.
His first reaction was to beg for mercy. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have attacked you two. Please spare me. You're both so generous. Don't be bothered by me!"
But Gun didn't buy it. He pressed down hard on the man's palm and rubbed it.
"Ah──" The man let out a heart - wrenching scream. "Please, just let me go."
But it was no use. Gun didn't listen at all. He didn't stop until he had crushed the man's hand bones and the man fainted. Only then did Gun remove his foot.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi folded her arms and said in a lazy tone, as if she was used to it, "You're quite ruthless. You made him faint from the pain?"
"It's just a broken hand bone," Gun said coldly. "He was just too scared of himself and fainted."
This explanation was really perfect. Shen Jianyi shrugged and thought about finding a place to sit, but found that all the chairs had been smashed by these people.
She turned her head and saw a group of people approaching Xia Liang.
It wasn't just Xia Liang there. She could definitely protect herself, but there was also Lu Yuan and a burden. They definitely couldn't handle it.
Just as those people were about to attack, Shen Jianyi coughed and was about to walk over. But as soon as she took a step, she was pulled back by the man behind her.
His voice was a bit warmer than before. "You're going to protect them?"
"Is that not okay?" Shen Jianyi shook off his hand and walked straight over. "They're my friends."
Mainly because Lu Yuan was there. If it had just been Xia Liang and Lan Xi, she might not have intervened. After all, Xia Liang could protect herself.
She put her hand on one of the men's shoulders. The man turned around and cursed. "Get out of the way, another bitch. What are you women doing here? Do you think you can compete with us for the chip? You should just go home and have kids!"
Unexpectedly, there was a misogynist here. Shen Jianyi wanted to snort. "Do you know that you were also born by your mother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she exerted a little force and directly crushed the bone on the man's shoulder.
"Aaaaaaaaa──"
With a heart - wrenching scream, he fell to the ground. If someone else had hit him, he might have just suffered a head injury, but he didn't expect this woman to be so ruthless, directly crushing his bone.
Bone pain was really unbearable. Maybe this earth - shattering scream made everyone turn their heads. They were like a bunch of crazy people.
These people were eager to get the chip so that they could continue to have a foothold in the business circle. Moreover, since everyone was wearing a mask, no one knew who they were. Even if they did something ugly today, no one would find out.
This was the main reason that made them expose their true nature. Those people stared at Shen Jianyi hungrily. Everyone knew that Shen Jianyi and that man were quick and agile. They were not easy to deal with.
But if one person couldn't beat them, could a group of people? They were so tough that they would be the most powerful opponents on the day of the auction. So why not join hands now and destroy them both.
Without any hesitation, the poisonous seeds in people's hearts were linked together. A group of people walked towards her.
Gun was quick - witted and immediately blocked in front of Shen Jianyi. But this group of people surrounded them in a circle, leaving no gap. It seemed that they really wanted to kill the two of them.
