Chapter 567: Who Would Have Thought Such a Remarkable Young Woman Existed in This World

Hearing the question, Liu Chuxue replied openly and at ease: "I'm naturally stronger than most people, and on top of that my memory is exceptional. What I used earlier was brute force and some simple moves my fiancé taught me, but later I picked up quite a lot from that man."

Xiao Fu listened, his face full of disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Liu Chuxue looked around and spotted a train police officer standing at the back holding an iron rod as thick as an adult's thumb — it had been confiscated from those enemy agents and hadn't been turned in yet.

Liu Chuxue walked over: "Mind if I borrow this."

Taking the iron rod, she gave a hard squeeze in front of everyone, and the rod bent into an arc.

This feat nearly made the onlookers' jaws drop, and the gleam in Xiao Fu's eyes grew dazzlingly bright.

He turned to the train police officer who had been holding the rod and said: "Step up to the front and exchange a few moves with her."

He added: "Use your Shaolin kung fu."

That's right — this man had, as a child, learned internal kung fu from a master at the Shaolin Temple.

The officer stepped forward and made a "after you" gesture.

Liu Chuxue glanced at the crowd. She didn't take it as disrespect — they probably wanted to verify it with their own eyes. Fine, she'd show them a thing or two, and it would also serve as an indirect warning to certain people.

After all, when the woods are big, all sorts of birds roost in them. That Qiu Shaohua from the Technical Section who'd come on this business trip with them had more than once been sneaking disgusting looks at her.

The two moved to the connection between carriages. The officer politely made another "please" gesture, and without dawdling, they soon engaged.

At first Liu Chuxue was clearly at a disadvantage, but thanks to her nimble body and his deliberate restraint, she could just barely fend off his attacks. Yet as time ticked by second by second, her improvement was plain to see — just as she'd said, when she struck again, she was using his own moves.

This left everyone present wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Most of those watching felt admiration and respect, mixed with sheer disbelief.

Of course, a small number felt fear — for instance, that Qiu Shaohua from the Technical Section, whose heart was pounding like a drum, his face full of dread: Thank goodness he hadn't yet given his twisted thoughts real form, hadn't acted on them. With her skill, he'd have ended up dead or crippled.

The train police officer sparring with Liu Chuxue could no longer stay calm either. He'd trained kung fu since childhood — truly sweating through the dog days of summer and braving the coldest days of winter — only to build the skill he had now. But this Miss's learning ability was terrifying: in such a short time, she'd picked up seventy or eighty percent of it?

Xiao Fu and Deputy Director Qi exchanged a glance; both saw a keen interest in the other's eyes, and neither had any intention of calling a halt.

It was Sister Jiang in the compartment who finally couldn't stand it any longer: "Chuxue is injured — how can you let them keep fighting?"

The moment she said that, embarrassment flashed across Xiao Fu's and Deputy Director Qi's faces.

Xiao Fu cleared his throat lightly and signaled the train police officer to stop; only then did the two separate.

In fact, that officer had long wanted to stop, but with no word from his superiors, he couldn't very well call it off on his own.

He saluted Liu Chuxue: "Comrade Liu, you're very strong."

But the words "I yield to you" — he truly couldn't bring himself to say them.

It was only a sparring match, and Liu Chuxue had no intention of making a point of anything either: "You're very impressive too. I haven't even thanked you yet."

What she meant was: "I've learned your moves — please don't take offense."

Xiao Fu and Deputy Director Qi were now truly won over. They hadn't expected such a remarkable young woman to exist in this world.

Deputy Director Qi said with a smile to Wang Changzheng, the leader of the Steel Rolling Mill's delegation on this trip: "Your Steel Rolling Mill really got the better end of the deal this time. Comrade Liu Chuxue has brought great honor to your mill."
