Seeing Chen Mo jump out of the car right behind her, Ruth's gaze turned cold. Before he could steady himself, her right hand shifted from a claw into a fist and drove straight at Chen Mo's abdomen.
Bang!
Caught off guard, Chen Mo winced in pain and staggered back two steps before regaining his footing.
The attack had failed to achieve the expected result, leaving Ruth slightly stunned. In her mind, researchers were supposed to be frail scholars with thick glasses, devoted entirely to their studies.
She had held back just now, afraid of hurting Chen Mo too badly, yet he seemed completely unaffected.
After that brief pause, Ruth did not stop. She pushed off with her right foot and whipped a kick straight at Chen Mo's waist.
If that kick landed, it would be enough to leave an ordinary person unable to fight back. Chen Mo did not dare underestimate her. His bound hands tensed as he blocked the sweeping shin.
With her consecutive attacks blocked, Ruth's heart sank. She darted forward again, but Chen Mo evaded every attack that followed, and her expression changed completely.
Chen Mo was known as the Giant of the Times. His research and development ability could rival several R&D teams. Because he carried the label of a scientific researcher, they had automatically overlooked his combat ability during their investigation.
She had never expected that Chen Mo was not only outstanding at research and development, but also remarkably agile.
She recalled the two slashes Chen Mo had made earlier. If she had hesitated even slightly then, Chen Mo could have taken her life. Now he had dodged her attacks again and again. She was a professionally trained agent, yet a bookish scientific researcher had easily evaded her attacks while his hands were still bound.
