Ye Rui saw Leng Shaoqing when the man was about to slap her; he descended like a deity, but he wasn't there to save her.
He just glanced at her, then forcefully flung President Pei by the neck to the side; President Pei's head hit the wall behind him, the impact nearly knocking him unconscious.
Slap!
Ye Rui's face received a resounding slap; the man fueled by malice behind his action, making the slap exceptionally forceful. She immediately felt dizzy, with a sweet, metallic taste in her mouth, and her legs gave way, causing her to kneel on the ground.
Her right cheek burned painfully, but she still stubbornly watched as Leng Shaoqing picked up Ji Yan in his arms. Rui's face was pale and her body trembled incessantly; her condition seemed much worse than just having received a slap.
