Ling Ling was not intimidated by Nan Huiru's pressure. She looked directly at her, maintaining both distance and respect, and said, "Madam, I am the personal assistant and housekeeper that Mr. Gu specifically hired for Mrs. Gu. If you indiscriminately lock Mrs. Gu up like this, I have no choice but to intervene."
"You're just a hired servant. A single word from me can have you pack up and leave. Don't overestimate yourself and meddle where you shouldn't, or you might not be able to protect yourself," Nan Huiru warned.
"Apologies, but if I accept a salary and don't do my job, it would be my dereliction of duty," Ling Ling said as she quickly stepped forward, attempting to pry Ji Wei free from the bodyguards' grip.
The bodyguards, of course, refused to back down, and the two sides began to clash.
Ling Ling's taekwondo skills were not weak, but as the fight broke out, several other bodyguards stationed at the door quickly rushed in. They soon subdued Ling Ling, immobilizing her.
