Encountering Zhong Ming Again

In the deep of night, the silhouettes of Gu Xiaoxi and her party gradually disappeared into the forest.

Deep within the dense woods stood a man in dark green military attire, his hands clasped behind his back.

In the darkness, his figure was proud and erect, his physique robust, and his short hair accentuated his remarkably handsome and vibrant features, making them appear even more imposing.

“Superior officer, Miss Gu has already safely reached the Seventh Battalion.

Should we continue to follow her?” Lin Mi asked, staring in surprise at Quan Shaoqing’s back.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that Gu Xiaoxi was right in front of them, and he could have taken her back at any moment with a simple move, yet he remained indifferent.

Instead, he had followed her for dozens of kilometers along the mountain roads, accompanying her until she was safe.

Quan Shaoqing looked up at the night sky, noting the high moon, acknowledging the late hour.

“No need.

I know you’re curious.

Xiao Xi, although skilled, is only 18 after all.

Despite her cleverness, the outside world is dangerous, and we can’t really let her run around like this on her own.

Since we’ve tricked her into joining the army, we must take responsibility for her safety,” Quan Shaoqing explained.

“But why don’t you just take her back directly?”

Quan Shaoqing sighed, “With her stubborn and unruly nature, she wouldn’t submit unless she experienced some hardships.

How would she sincerely stay if not?

Therefore, this kind of training is necessary.”

Lin Mi nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

It seemed that Quan Shaoqing truly appreciated Gu Xiaoxi, which is why he wanted to keep her by his side to harness her talents to the fullest.

Hopefully, Gu Xiaoxi would live up to his expectations.

“Get the helicopter.

It’s time for us to go back,” ordered Quan Shaoqing.

…

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoxi had arrived at the Seventh Battalion.

It was her first time experiencing life in a military camp.

To describe her first impression: it was tough!

An eight-person dormitory with bunk beds.

Some units had training deep into the night, their whistles piercing the air, the faces of the soldiers smeared as though they were painted like cats.

She had no interest in this kind of life.

In the female barracks, as it was late at night, the female squad leader still patiently made the bed for the newly arrived Gu Xiaoxi, “You can manage with this for the night.

Are you hungry?

I can get you some steamed buns from the kitchen.”

“No need, thank you,” Gu Xiaoxi replied with a subtle smile.

“I’d like to take a bath; can I borrow a set of your clothes?”

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi had a slim figure, the squad leader found an old set of fitting clothes for her, “Go ahead, the bathhouse is on the top floor.

The men’s and women’s areas are not far from each other, so be careful not to walk into the wrong one.”

Gu Xiaoxi quickly nodded as she took the clothes.

Gu Xiaoxi found the bathhouse for women and looked around at the empty space, with just a few showerheads lined up.

A twitch formed at the corner of her mouth, and she vowed!

She absolutely would not join the army, this life was extraordinarily tough.

She still wanted to be a big star!

Earning money, being adored and followed, having a couple of assistants to boss around—how comfortable that would be.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi woke up early and saw a military transport vehicle loaded with vegetables and fruit driving into the Seventh Battalion.

She was waiting for the right moment to blend in and get on board.

At seven-thirty in the morning, Gu Xiaoxi, having packed up, left the female dormitory and encountered an old adversary.

The man was in his twenties, carrying a bag on his back, his silhouette straight and tall.

Because he was angry, his face remained sullen, and his presence was menacing.

His arrival immediately caught the attention of many people.

And Gu Xiaoxi, unluckily, crashed right into the man, full bosomed.

“I’m sorry!” Gu Xiaoxi quickly lifted her head with a beaming smile, but at just one glance, her entire body stiffened, and her smile gradually turned pale, “Big brother, what a coincidence… I didn’t expect to run into you here…”

Zhong Ming grabbed hold of Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder with an iron grip, his face dark with fury and eyes blazing, “You brat, I didn’t expect you’d be hiding out here?”

“Yeah, what a coincidence!

Buddy, your hand, it’s hurting me, can you loosen your grip a little?” Gu Xiaoxi’s smile froze on her face, could this guy be someone Young Master Quan sent to capture her and take her back?

“Let you go!

Hmph!

Rest assured, I’m not here to capture you.

Thanks to you, Flame was disbanded.

So, tell me, should I flay you and tear out your sinews, or should I stew you or cook you in a red-braised style?” Zhong Ming gritted his teeth, his expression like a wild beast in a frenzy, as if he couldn’t wait to tear Gu Xiaoxi apart and devour her flesh and blood.

“My flesh isn’t tasty!”

“Then I’ll tear your sinews and peel your skin!”

Gu Xiaoxi’s face darkened!

… This guy! freёnovelkiss.com

Was he being serious?

The disbanding of their group was none of her concern, it seemed like without teaching him a lesson, he would continue to believe he could push her around.

Is this, his way of venting his frustration and hatred on her?

Gu Xiaoxi straightened her waist, stood up straight, and with a reverse grip caught hold of Zhong Ming’s wrist with immense strength, forcing him to loosen his grasp somewhat.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Zhong Ming with a few serious flashes in her eyes, “Buddy, don’t get serious with me.

I’m afraid you can’t afford to play this game.”

Zhong Ming was still shocked by her powerful wrist strength and was suddenly infuriated by her words.

“You brat, your ability to trick people and run away is not bad.

Use all your despicable techniques, go ahead!” Zhong Ming snapped.

Gu Xiaoxi had already preempted him, launching a series of kicks, displaying her footwork skillfully.

Zhong Ming, caught off guard, repeatedly released Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and rapidly retreated, gaining some distance.

Glaring at Gu Xiaoxi, his eyes bloodshot, he twisted his neck fiercely, his tone full of defiant challenge, “If you have the guts, win against me in combat today.

Then, I’ll stop holding the disbanding of Flame against you.”

Gu Xiaoxi snorted!

She held her head high, her exquisite face radiating a bewitching luster in the morning light, her eyes like glittering colored glaze, filled with depth and confidence as she stared at Zhong Ming, word by word she said, “It’s, a, deal.”

Combat, huh?

Her master is a world champion, and she is certainly not bad herself.

By this time, more and more people had gathered at the entrance of the Seventh Battalion, everyone showing a curious look.

They felt disdain for a grown man challenging a young girl to combat.

And Zhong Ming was indeed prepared to use the name of combat as a pretext to teach Gu Xiaoxi a lesson, to get back at her for the humiliation Flame had suffered the day before.

Yi Chentian came back from his morning training, initially, he was just coming over to watch the excitement, but suddenly, seeing that Zhong Ming, who had joined the special forces, was back and even fighting with a young girl, it left him confused.

But looking at the stance of both of them, Gu Xiaoxi’s morale was not a bit lower than Zhong Ming’s, so he just stayed out with the mentality of watching a good show, letting them be.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and stretched her neck and wrists.

It seemed, if she couldn’t get past Zhong Ming this morning, it would be difficult for her to leave the Seventh Battalion.

Since, he was asking for a beating.

She didn’t mind giving him a painful lesson.

Underestimating her, always came with a price…
