Chapter 370: Chapter 329: A One-Sided Beatdown?
[Doctor Wen, she treats everyone equally!]
[Those slaps were so damn satisfying! I wouldn’t mind if Doctor Wen threw a few more!]
[They’re clearly not Huaguo people, but they’re using our Flower Country names. Isn’t that just pathetic?]
[They’re probably trying to set a trap for Doctor Wen, right? Get her to warm up to them because of their names?]
[Calling them morons is an insult to morons~! But trash like this has probably been looking to betray their country for a while now, right?]
[Going after Doctor Wen? I wonder how many lives they think they have. But I love this kind of drama! Keep it up!]
When the people in the livestream chat saw Wen Ying follow Zhao Ge, they were already guessing what would happen next.
And just as expected, a trope straight out of a novel was playing out in real life.
Art really does imitate life. It’s true!
Zhao Ge’s expression turned ugly when he saw Wen Ying strike down his team members one after another.
Some tried to fight back, but they couldn’t last more than two moves against her.
"Stop! What are you all doing! Put away those disgusting thoughts! This is Doctor Wen. She’s going to join our team. She’s our teammate, not our enemy!"
Zhao Ge began to reprimand them.
Wen Ying watched as they all stopped, looking on as if it were a play while Zhao Ge scolded them.
"Apologize to Doctor Wen right now! In the past, I haven’t interfered as long as it wasn’t a big deal—after all, you have your freedom! But this time, if Doctor Wen refuses to join our team because of you, you will be held responsible. Understand?"
’Still putting on an act?’ Wen Ying didn’t expose his charade, simply watching.
’Does he really think I don’t know this was part of their plan from the start? They just wanted to test my skills and attitude. If I were a pushover, they’d walk all over me. If I were a tough nut to crack, they’d back off.’
The men stared stubbornly at Wen Ying, clearly not thinking they were in the wrong and unwilling to apologize.
Zhao Ge’s expression became even more strained. He turned to Wen Ying, his face a mask of apology. "I’m so sorry, Doctor Wen. I never expected this to happen. Rest assured, I’ll teach them a good lesson and keep them in line. Nothing like this will ever happen again!"
"It’s okay."
Just as he’d expected, the woman said those two words: "It’s okay."
"From now on, we’ll be a team, and I—"
"Besides, I never planned on joining you anyway," Wen Ying added, cutting him off. Zhao Ge froze mid-sentence, stunned.
"What did you say?"
"Having hearing problems at your age? Your team has quite a few disabled people. How pitiful."
The others looked on in disbelief as Wen Ying talked back to Zhao Ge. ’How dare she? Zhao Ge already gave her an out, but not only did she not take it, she defied him? Doesn’t she know who Zhao Ge is?’
This time, Zhao Ge’s expression was genuinely dark, as if he hadn’t heard what Wen Ying said.
"Doctor Wen!" His tone was heavy, tinged with anger.
"Please reconsider. Smith wants you to join our team. It’s true we have a lot of men, and they talk crude sometimes. It’s just human nature to be careless once in a while. There’s no need to be so petty, is there?"
Wen Ying nodded.
"You have a point. But do you know what I hate the most?"
"What?"
"Men who are all talk and no skill, spouting bullshit all day. Unfortunately, all of you fit that description perfectly. If Smith wants to see me, tell him to come find me himself. Don’t send any more of his riffraff. I couldn’t care less who he is."
After saying her piece, Wen Ying looked toward Gentle, the woman in the corner who was hugging her knees with her head buried against her body.
"Gentle, do you want to come with me?"
Hearing her name, Gentle slowly raised her head, looking at Wen Ying with a mixture of terror and disbelief.
She didn’t seem to understand why this woman would single her out.
’But did she want to leave? Yes! But she didn’t dare!’
’If she were caught and dragged back, her situation would become far worse than it was now. Although, even now... at least she was still alive.’
’There might still be a tiny sliver of hope that she could make it out alive. She didn’t know if that hope would ever materialize, but she prayed for it all the same.’
When the others heard Wen Ying ask this, they burst out laughing.
"She doesn’t even know if she can get out of here herself, and she wants to take this woman with her? How ridiculous!"
"No woman who pisses off Brother Zhao has ever lived to tell the tale!"
