“Stop, who sent you?”
Bai Jing gripped a thug’s arm. She exerted a little strength, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
The thug wailed and knelt on the ground.
The leader saw that his little brother was being bullied. He held a machete and rushed towards her. “Little girl, you look pretty. Mind your own business!”
“Otherwise, if your face is ruined, don’t blame this brother for being ruthless!” He sized up Bai Jing with lecherous eyes and spoke nonsense.

Bai Jing pursed her lips and looked at him with a gaze so calm that it could make one’s hair stand on end. She spat out one words, “Scum.”
PA!
She propped herself up on the round table at the front desk and kicked the leader’s carotid artery, knocking him to the ground. Seeing him spit out two mouthfuls of fresh blood and hold onto a machete, she knew he wanted to resist. She predicted his move and broke his wrist before kicking the machete towards the door.
The surrounding thugs fled in fear, but they were stopped by Si Qian who had rushed to the door. They were all captured and sent to the police station.
Looking at the chaotic environment, Bai Jing walked to Si Qian’s side.
“Are you okay?” He asked. Looking into Bai Jing’s confused eyes, he chuckled. “Yes, they’re unlucky to have met you.”
Bai Jing picked up a lost business card from the ground and said calmly, “They’re from the Bai family.”
“They? Why did they tear down my lab?” Si Qian was puzzled. He didn’t have any interaction with the Bai family.
Bai Jing didn’t understand human’s roundabout ways. She blinked and explained bluntly, “Yesterday, he found out about our marriage and despised you for being poor and unable to bring benefits to the Bai family. So, he forced me to divorce you. I didn’t agree, so I retaliated.”

“Oh?” Si Qian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he was moved by Bai Jing’s honesty. “Thank you for your firm choice.”
“Do you want me to go home with you… to get back at them and vent out all your grievances?” Si Qian said softly.
Bai Jing shook her head and maintained a safe distance from Si Qian. She picked up two tables and chairs and placed them where they were. She drew the line seriously and said, “I agreed to marry you so I could use this laboratory. To put it simply, it’s a business relationship.”

“After I successfully develop the drug that I need, I will upgrade the drug to increase strength and get a divorce.”
“The Bai family is my business. I will handle it myself.”
Bai Jing’s attitude made Si Qian feel depressed. He could even feel the undisguised disdain of the woman in front of him towards him!
The thugs’ IQ were very low. They only destroyed the computers and printers in the office in front of them. It seemed that the losses were not high. Bai Jing took out a calculator and two pieces of white paper and handed them to Si Qian. She raised her hand and said, “Here.”
“What for?” Si Qian took them. He had already given up trying to understand her thoughts.
“Record and summarize all the damaged items. Then give me some data…” Bai Jing thought for a moment. “You can report more.”
Si Qian placed the calculator aside and frowned. “I don’t need you to compensate me.”
“Of course not.” Bai Jing frowned. She thought of Bai Guangcai’s smug face and said coldly, “Someone needs to pay for all of this. I can’t let him be free. Hurry up, I have to rush back.”
Bai Jing insisted. Si Qian had no choice but to ask his assistant to prepare a list of compensation.
Bai Jing looked at the list and wrote zero after the two largest items. She looked at Si Qian with surprise. “If you don’t want it, you can transfer it to me after the compensation has been paid. I’m very short of money.” She nodded, stopped the taxi, and left.
Si Qian didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. Then, he thought of her actions and smiled even wider.
…
At the villa.
Bai Jing saw the three people sitting around the dining table. She walked closer and directly threw the details of the compensation to Bai Guangcai.
He looked at it carefully, and then his expression changed several times. He put on a stubborn look and said, “What is it?”
“Compensation,” Bai Jing said coldly.
Bai Guangcai directly threw the paper on the ground, pointed at her, and shouted, “Why? Who knows who you’ve provoked outside? If you ask me to pay, I’ll pay? Don’t tell me I owe you!”
“You should know this.” Bai Jing sent the hotel records she found last night to his phone.
Bai Guangcai immediately stood up and stammered, “How did you get it?”
“You and…”
Bai Jing glanced at Qi Mei and said with disdain, “Do you think you can hide the fact that she had an affair?”
“No scandal can be erased. You can’t pretend it didn’t happen!”
Bai Jing saw Qi Mei’s nervous expression and curled her lips into a mocking smile.
