Stuck in a Chinese novel

"Why isn't this barrier down?!" A CSF official yelled as he approached a tech member of the team.

"If the barrier could be taken down so easily, then there would have been no point of a barrier." A woman calmly replied while she stood beside a man who was busy trying to disable the barrier on a computer.

"For our enemies, not for us," The man argued.

"In this instance, we're the enemies," The woman countered which shut up the man because he had no comeback for it.

"What's the status?" The woman asked the man who was on the computer.

"The barrier was designed to bear the attacks of a Qi demon realm martial artist. With our current firepower on hand, we cannot bring it down. From the outside, it is all the more possible." The tech guy explained.

"So it is only possible to be taken down for the inside," The woman replied, a little down by the fact that they were stuck.

"If it was activated from the inside, then yeah, we wouldn't have been able to take it down from the outside." The tech guy said to the woman's remark who hurriedly asked, "Then you're saying it wasn't erected from the inside but the outside?"

"Yes," The tech guy replied before he added, "However, whoever did it is very good. I'm trying to pinpoint the location of the person but I haven't been able to specify it out."

"The hacker," The woman replied. Among the allies of the biker, one was assumed to be a hacker who didn't operate behind his back, assisting him in various acts of terrorism. The hacker was the reason the biker had been able to get away with many crimes.

And the biggest mishap in the history of the Huanan empire was the theft of the criminal and classified records of all types of law enforcement agencies of the empire.

If they could find the hacker, just the hacker, they could cut the power of the biker in half because if they had someone of such skillset on their side, they would be able to reach new heights. Discover stories at empire

"Okay, now I need you to find her no matter what." The woman leaned in and said into the tech's ear with intimidation and authority dripping in her voice. The tech guy was obviously scared and started to move his hands faster but the hacker on the other hand was too good for him alone so he said, "I might need backup."

"Everyone! Drop whatever you're doing and assist this guy!" The woman loudly announced. The CSF official who was with her wasn't happy with that announcement and said, displeasure obvious in his tone, "We need to break down that barrier."

"And the only way to do that is to find the hacker who's keeping it up." The woman said before he once again rushed the tech guy who began to look for the unknown hacker with the help of his friends.

"Sh*t!" Li Wei loudly exclaimed as she moved her fingers faster to type faster but it didn't help at all because she was multitasking too many jobs at once.

"What?" Yan Rong asked as she saw Li Wei in trouble.

"Those buddies of yours just employed all their attention on me. Whoever this Chan Jiayi is, she's not making my life any easier here." Li Wei cursed the one leading the mission a lot.

"I know her. She's good." Yan Rong replied.

"And a real bit&h." Li Wei cursed again.

"And a real bit&h." Yan Rong readily agreed before she asked, "But like how close are they to getting to you?"

"Ten minutes, tops." Li Wei replied which wasn't good for both of them.

"Then we need to get you out of here." Yan Rong replied.

"Without me, the barrier wouldn't last for five minutes. I need to replenish it constantly every five minutes or it will go down." Li Wei explained her reason.

"So that means fifteen minutes," Li Wei said.

"No. We haven't received the boss's signal yet," Li Wei replied.

"Doesn't matter." Yan Yong was outright confused, "My orders were to make sure you're out."

"You're seriously going to choose me over him?!" Li Wei yelled.

"I. Have. My. Orders." Yan Rong said, stressing on each word which wasn't a good news for Li Wei. There was no way she was going to leave her here and if she didn't go, Li Wei didn't doubt for one second that Yan Rong would use the hard way.

"Look, I need to try. Okay? Please, at least give me twenty minutes," Li Wei said.

"Fifteen minutes. That's five minutes more than the deadline. And then we're gone." Yan Rong threateningly said before she straightened her back and said, "I will buy you those five minutes."

She picked up the mask lying near Li Wei and wore it on her face. Her facial features and her hair color changed which made her unrecognizable. She looked at Li Wei and said, "Make sure you're done by then."

"Spread out. Find the hacker. I need him or her alive. Treat him or her with respect. Break a few bones if necessary. But make sure to do it very~~~ respectfully." Chan Jaiyi said as she stepped into the building close to the CSF building. It was an abandoned building close enough to the CSF facility so it was a perfect spot for such an operation. The only problem was that there were more than twelve buildings in the radius and searching each and every building wasn't something they could afford to do unless they were very, very sure.

And now that they were, it was capture time.

"Argh!" Chan Jaiyi heard a grunt as she saw one of her men down on the ground. The assailant didn't seem to have used Qi but the girl, the assailant, she didn't seem very girly either.

If anything, she wouldn't even need Qi to defeat her enemies. The only problem was that she couldn't use Qi.

"Want to hide who you are?" Chan Jaiyi asked. Qi left a trace and if the girl were to use it, it would leave a trace to her which she could pick up as long as it wasn't faded from the base which would be very easy for Chan Jaiyi.

"Which also means that I know you, don't I? But I don't forget faces and I'm pretty sure a pretty face like you wouldn't have been on my forget list either." Yang Jaiyi playfully said as a pale blue colored aura enveloped her.

Yan Rong, on the other hand, remained nonchalant as ever.

"Ha!" Chan Jaiyi yelled as she rushed in to attack but Yan Rong simply stepped to the side and kicked her opponent with her foot, disrupting her flow. Jaiyi pulled herself and swung her leg which connected with Yan Rong but she managed to block it with her bare hands.

"What the…" Jaiyi couldn't help but be confused as Yan Rong spoke, "You are nothing but a bit&h."

She put her other hand on Jaiyi's thigh and pushed her around, ramming her into the wall which Jaiyi wasn't prepared for. She never expected someone without Qi to overpower her which was quite frankly a humiliation.

However, while she was busy trying to pick herself up, Yan Rong pulled out a gun and began to shoot the astounded CSF officers without mercy.

Before Jaiyi could even pull herself up, all of them were dead. But just because they were dead, it didn't mean all troubles were over.

If they were here, the backup would be following shortly and there wouldn't be just ten among them. They would be in hundreds and there was no way Yan Rong would be able to hold them off all by herself so she readied herself to kill just these and then escape with Li Wei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You bit&h!" Jaiyi was pissed off, justifiably so, so she threw all caution to the wind and attacked Yan Rong with her Qi fully armed but Yan Rong simply used her brain and threw a grenade on the ground. The grenade blew up, clouding Jaiyi's vision which was she failed to notice something heading over her face.

It was a sword and when it struck her, she felt like a shockwave passed through her body.

She coughed up blood and looked up at the sword. She had no idea where Yan Rong got it from but she knew one thing for sure. That shiny blue sword wasn't ordinary given her organs were screaming in pain.

"He did get me a better sword." Yan Rong said before she swung the sword at Jaiyi. The sword, which didn't break past Jaiyi's barrier, somehow passed the shockwave through it, hurting Chan Jaiyi anyway.

"Ahhh!!!" Jaiyi screamed in pain as she tried to stand up but the pain front the tremors of the blue sword was something else compared to the usual pain.

It was much more worse and it wasn't long before she passed out. She didn't even need the third shot. Yan Rong sighed but she tensed up once again as she heard sirens in the distance. She ran over to Li Wei who protested quite a bit but she picked her up like she weighed nothing and pressed a red button while feeling from the scene.

Shortly after she was out and the CSF was in, they found the equipment the hacker was using but there was another gift lying around.

"Oh… shi---"

Boom!!!
