Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home-Chapter 52 - 022 Her master Lu Xi!
52: 022 Her master Lu Xi!
52: 022 Her master Lu Xi!
Quan Shaoqing fought against four adversaries, and after dozens of exchanges, one of them was already lying dead on the ground.
The remaining three assassins were shocked, as they had killed countless people.
An average person wouldn’t last ten moves against them.
Yet Quan Shaoqing, not only did he defend and attack with measure, but he also took on four at once, injuring all of them and even managing to kill one.
Due to the intense battle that had just occurred, both sides had expended some of their combat strength.
Neither side attacked rashly, and the atmosphere was tense.
Just then, the grating sound of screeching brakes rang out, and the intense light of a car’s headlamps shone directly at them, dazzling everyone’s eyes.
The three assassins cried out in alarm, but they couldn’t see anything.
Gu Xiaoxi floored the accelerator, and the car charged fiercely in the narrow garage.
The three assassins instinctively leaped up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
They almost became the lost souls under Gu Xiaoxi’s car.
Quan Shaoqing cast an admiring glance at her, taking advantage of the assassins’ momentary daze to jump into the car.
Gu Xiaoxi quickly pressed down on the accelerator, and the car circled half the garage before exiting the basement.
Ten minutes later, the car was traveling smoothly on the main street.
“Gu Xiaoxi, you just killed someone,” Quan Shaoqing sat in the passenger seat, looking at Gu Xiaoxi’s calm profile.
Sometimes, she was truly difficult to read.
Gu Xiaoxi drove seriously.
Puzzled by Quan Shaoqing’s sudden question, she responded, “Didn’t you kill someone too?”
“That’s completely different!
You’re only eighteen, this is your first time in the military, and also your first time dealing with bad people.
Don’t you feel any psychological burden?” He just found it somewhat unbelievable.
How could such a young girl possess such strong mental fortitude?
“Why should I feel any psychological burden?” Gu Xiaoxi turned her head, her bright eyes shining with determination.
When others wanted her dead, she would show no mercy.
Quan Shaoqing felt a lump in his throat and his eye twitched violently!
It took a good while for the corners of his mouth to lift up in an admiring smile.
With Gu Xiaoxi’s current mental caliber and standard, she was fully qualified to join his elite combat unit.
But this kid was a bit too arrogant!
There are always people better than oneself, and there’s always room for improvement.
She still needed to be tempered, as growth required not just time, but also experience.
As Gu Xiaoxi drove, Quan Shaoqing carelessly took out a cigarette to light it.
“We missed out on hotpot today, can you settle for something else?”
“Oh!” Gu Xiaoxi nonchalantly agreed.
“Then let’s go have late-night snacks on Wall Street!”
“I mean, eat at home!” Quan Shaoqing raised his voice a bit, emphasizing.
She had just fought a life and death struggle with bad guys, didn’t she feel any sense of danger?
Quan Shaoqing stared at Gu Xiaoxi, feeling that her thought processes were enigmatic.
“But what if I want to eat out?” Gu Xiaoxi turned her head, her large eyes fixing on him.
Seeing his serious expression, she countered, “Didn’t we shake off those guys just now?”
Quan Shaoqing held his breath tight in his chest.
He couldn’t possibly tell her that a hit had been ordered, 1.8 billion for his life.
It wasn’t something to be proud of and too difficult to say out loud.
At that moment, Lin Mi’s call appeared on ZO’s large screen.
Quan Shaoqing had just connected when Lin Mi’s anxious and panicked voice came through, “Superior officer, where are you?
Our people have surrounded the basement of the hotpot city and found three bodies.”
“I’m already on my way back.
You guys examine the scene first and identify the bodies.
I’ll be back in an hour…”
Before Quan Shaoqing could finish, Gu Xiaoxi addressed Lin Mi, “No need.
Stay safe, we’re heading back.” With that, she hung up on Lin Mi.
Did this girl understand what an order was?
Since when was it her place to command?
And she dares to be so cavalier?
Quan Shaoqing frowned, “I’ll take you back first!”
Gu Xiaoxi reversed the car back from the intersection, “Didn’t you say you wanted me to observe real combat?
This is a great opportunity.” In fact, she was well aware that Quan Shaoqing was worried about her, fearing she might be in danger if she came along.
Gu Xiaoxi felt displeased!
Was she really that inadequate?
With a dark face, Quan Shaoqing retorted angrily, “But this is different!
The enemy is hidden and we are exposed; accidents can easily happen.
This war has nothing to do with you.”
Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at Quan Shaoqing, his grave expression underscoring the danger of the situation, “As a subordinate, it’s my duty to protect my superior officer.
As family, I have an obligation to fight alongside you and cannot let you take risks alone.
If I encountered bad people, would you stand by and do nothing?”
She pronounced the word ‘family’ with particular weight, indicating emotions beyond words.
Compared to her previous animosity toward him, this time her words sounded particularly pleasing to him.
The neon light shimmered faintly outside the car, filtering through the bulletproof glass to illuminate her face, rendering her delicate features mysterious and prominent in the darkness.
Quan Shaoqing turned away, feeling a warm current passing through his heart.
It was as if a glacier frozen for millions of years suddenly had lava erupting underneath, melting a thin stream in its icy depths.
The car sped toward the scene of the incident.
However, they hadn’t reached the scene yet.
At the crossroads, a sleek black Buick burst out, slamming hard into ZO.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t see it coming, and ZO was shoved onto a roadside green strip due to the impact.
Gu Xiaoxi’s head hit the steering wheel, and for a moment everything spun.
She fought through the pain and looked outside the car only to see the black Buick charging again.
Without time to think, she hit the gas, forcing the car over the greenery on the divider to avoid it.
It was during the brief moment when the two cars passed each other that she saw the person in the Buick.
A face impressive with a natural air of command, eyebrows raised, eyes carrying a hint of the demonic.
That face, she remembered it as if it was etched in her memory.
Despite not having seen him for eight years, she recognized him instantly.
Her mentor, Lu Xi!
