It'd been a hard few nights of trying to track enough of these guys down to get even a partially-filled picture of how this particular evening was going to go. She'd first heard about it when she'd caught a few of them tearing down flyers for a special exhibition at the museum, which had of course led to a light pummelling and some questions about why this was what they had chosen to spend their time doing.
From there, a couple of bars had been crashed - these ones a bit outside of her territory, but nothing too strenuous. They'd been able to tell her that someone was going to do something, obviously, but Xue hadn't exactly appreciated their tone. Or their vagueness. Fortunately, what she did get was directions to a "group meeting" that the second group of toughs had promised would lead to answers.
And a bigger fight. They'd been ready for her at the waterfront, not that it had really helped. If anything, it just gave her a reason to tap into her reserves and crack heads in a true-blue display of power. It had been fun! And tiring. She's just glad she had the opportunity to cool off for a bit before the big event... a big event that has turned out to be a little less "drag-out fight" and a lot more "trying to chase these morons through the whole fancy archaeological setup without setting off any alarms or breaking anything".
Looks like she's just about wrapped up, though. Xue drops the second-to-last guy and makes eye contact with the last guy, either unaware or uncaring that more than one security camera in the atrium is fixed on her. He's been running. He knows it's not gonna help. The poor guy starts babbling as she closes in on him, making half-coherent assurances that he just needs the money and they weren't going to hurt anybody, he doesn't even know what the knife is for, if he'd had any idea she was going to be here-
"Oh, my god, would you shut up."
