Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

"You’re talking nonsense! There’s nothing wrong with me!" Liu Miao’s expression looked like she’d seen a ghost.

"Hmm, not admitting your condition clearly shows you’re already very serious. Considering we’ve been colleagues, I’ll give you a little discount."

"I’m not here for that! I’m here to ask you to come negotiate with the criminals. If you have even a shred of professional ethics, you should come over immediately."

"If you have even a shred of emotional intelligence, you wouldn’t speak to me in such an arrogant tone with a self-assuredness that rubs people the wrong way. Given your education and your personality, your future marriage might have issues unless you find a man who wouldn’t dare say a thing against you. So, senior, instead of morally blackmailing me into doing something I don’t want to do, why not think about improving yourself?" Qian retorted effortlessly.

Someone under Yu Minglang’s command secretly gave a thumbs up.

This is exactly the style of my sister-in-law. Compared to her, One, that sarcastic guy, seems like a saint.

"How can someone like you qualify as a doctor? Don’t you have any medical ethics? With your cold indifference and refusal to save lives, if one day you’re in danger yourself, will anyone reach out to help you?" Liu Miao was left speechless and could only attack Qian from another angle.

"First, you’re using a conceptual sleight of hand. Whether I qualify as a doctor isn’t up to you, and I earned my certification through my skills; your wishful thinking is useless. Second, the danger you mentioned won’t exist because my man won’t let me be at risk."

Qian has never lost in a war of words.

Too lazy to continue talking to Liu Miao, Qian picked up from her voice that the woman had put her on speaker, so she called the beauty over directly.

"Come on, Beauty, bark a few times for your friend."

Beauty did give Qian face and barked into the phone.

Yu Minglang’s tense expression instantly softened, and his features relaxed.

Seems like his wife is getting along well with Beauty.

"Are you barking dogs to humiliate me?" Liu Miao was confused and thought Qian was intentionally dissing her.

"A high level of education doesn’t equate to strong capability. I hope you think about how to refine your business skills rather than pondering over other people’s men. Alright, to the woman who willingly wishes to save the world with her ’positive energy’, I wish you luck, goodbye."

That last sentence left Yu Minglang and everyone else stunned.

Except for Yu Minglang, everyone else had only two words to react: Damn!

This woman is a true genius, my sister-in-law is absolutely a genius!

Just from a few sentences, she could analyze people thoroughly, and she won with an undeniably superior posture!

In front of her, the female scientist is no more than a primary school student.

The hung-up Liu Miao turned green in the face, as Qian’s last sentence bluntly exposed the little thoughts she had been trying to hide, making her want to throw her phone, but someone by Yu Minglang’s side snatched it back.

"That’s One’s personal property."

"This woman who ignores the rules is just relying on her background. This unwarranted accusation against me comes from jealousy. From our psychology perspective, she must envy my accomplishments because, theoretically, jealousy arises from competition within the same field, and because her sense of superiority is destroyed by my achievements, thus generating a ’Monkey King mentality’ for revenge against me."

Liu Miao deliberately made it complex, using the professional term "Monkey King mentality," wanting to create an effect of Qian being jealous of her.

Sure enough, Yu Minglang, who had been looking down, looked up at her, but not with a good expression—it was full of disdain.

"She’s jealous of you? Haha, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year."

His wife has looks, professionalism, and a loving husband; any of those could crush this woman, yet she really dares to shamelessly flaunt her huge face and brag.

"That’s true. Do you know what ’Monkey King mentality’ is?"

Liu Miao refused to admit defeat.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I only believe in one principle: truly professional people will only explain complex issues in the simplest way, so even those from different fields can easily understand very obscure topics. Chen Xiaoqian is such a person. Only those without ability will brag about their professionalism and use complex theories to explain a very simple matter."

"You..." Liu Miao was so struck by Yu Minglang she couldn’t say anything, never having experienced such an embarrassing situation.

Yu Minglang was too lazy to look at her. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Inform the institute to replace her; don’t let this liability delay our rescue efforts."

What a broken agency, a bunch of bookish intellectuals manipulated by a criminal, letting the person escape right under their noses, and then bringing this thing over to ’help’—all a hindrance!

"Why do you say I’m a liability? Clearly, it’s Chen Xiaoqian who isn’t cooperating with the rescue! She’s the liability!"

Wait, why is her body flying?

Only after regaining her composure did Liu Miao realize she had been dragged out by Yu Minglang!

"Feel free to investigate all you want. She’s my wife; we’re legally married. Do you have any opinions?!"

The door slammed shut right in front of Liu Miao, so loud it hurt her eardrums.

In Liu Miao’s ears echoed Yu Minglang’s last words.

Legally married; do you have any opinions...

He still stands by Chen Xiaoqian... Liu Miao suddenly realized that her constant mocking of Qian having a background meant she was actually insulting Yu Minglang. She was indeed low in emotional intelligence, unknowingly offending Yu Minglang.

Despite the female scientist holding back the process, Yu Minglang didn’t waste time, as the woman had voluntarily come to be roasted by Qian, and the rescue plan was already underway inside.

"We’re going to split up into three teams later. If necessary, once the criminal poses a threat to the hostages’ safety, shoot to kill immediately."

This criminal has committed so many crimes they’d deserve to be executed ten times over.

"With all due respect, the angle this person chose is very disadvantageous to us. If we forcibly rescue people, it could likely lead to hostage casualties. If One’s wife could cooperate with us and help distract the criminal, that would be ideal."

Yu Minglang silently looked at the map; he knew what these people were saying was right.

This opponent wasn’t ordinary, their intelligence was frighteningly high, having long chosen a very difficult place to attack as their last stance. It’s really not easy to get the other side without any cost.

"Respect Mr Chen’s wishes." Yu Minglang still chose to shield Qian against pressure.

He was talking about Mr Chen, not my wife, because this is work time.

Yu Minglang turned off his phone.

Just then, someone came over with the landline.

"One, there’s a call for you."

"I’m One."

"One, it’s Chen Xiaoqian."

Wife?!

How was his wife calling on this phone, and why was she using such a formal tone?
