Chapter 2 – Enemies at Every Turn

"Father wants me to marry Qiao Qiumeng?"

Qi Dengxian looked at the letter in his hand, his lips twitching involuntarily. Qiao Qiumeng was his childhood playmate.

Even as a child, Qiao Qiumeng was a budding beauty, and now she had likely grown into a graceful young woman.

The wording of his father's letter was very stern, leaving Qi Dengxian no choice but to sigh and comply.

The next morning, the prisoners almost celebrated with gongs and drums as they saw Qi Dengxian off from Youdu Prison. With this demon king gone, they could run wild again!

"I'll be back anytime. Keep a good record for me. Anyone who causes trouble during this time, make sure to note it down!" Qi Dengxian said with a smile.

The prisoners, who had been making a racket, instantly fell silent and began to tremble.

Qi Dengxian glanced at a few troublemakers, chuckled coldly, and left the Youdu Prison where he had lived for over a decade, boarding a plane to Zhonghai City.

"Why do I keep running into this woman everywhere I go?" Entering first class, Qi Dengxian was taken aback, frowning slightly.

There were eight seats in first class, and one of them was occupied by Yu Xiaolong, whom he had just met.

At this moment, Yu Xiaolong was dressed in casual black attire. Even without her military uniform, she still exuded an imposing aura.

Upon seeing Qi Dengxian, Yu Xiaolong was visibly surprised, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.

"Miss Yu has already told you, you two are from completely different worlds. Why are you still following her onto the plane? What's the point?" Long Yanan, Yu Xiaolong's assistant, asked coldly, her pretty face tinged with frost.

Hearing this, Qi Dengxian was momentarily stunned, a hint of disdain curling at his lips. He pulled out a magazine, not even bothering to glance at the two.

Yu Xiaolong's brows furrowed. She disliked men who clung on like this.

When they met at the prison gate, Qi Dengxian was silent, and now he had quietly followed her onto the plane, making her look down on him.

A man should know when to hold on and when to let go!

Suddenly, three men burst in, raising their hands, and three short guns were pointed directly at Yu Xiaolong.

"Yu General, you arrested our boss, causing us a lot of trouble!" The leader sneered, unlocking his gun with a grin.

The passengers in first class were stunned. How did these guys manage to bring guns onto the plane?!

Qi Dengxian put down his magazine, glanced over, then nonchalantly picked it up again, as if he had turned blind.

Long Yanan stood there pale and stunned. She hadn't expected Big Beard's men to be so capable, tracking them onto the plane!

She couldn't help but glance at Qi Dengxian. He was sitting in the blind spot of the three men. If he acted now, he could give her a chance to fight back.

But Qi Dengxian remained unmoved, as if something in the magazine deeply fascinated him.

"This coward, luckily Miss has already broken off the engagement with him!" Long Yanan thought disdainfully, but also grew nervous.

Yu Xiaolong said expressionlessly, "Oh? It seems there are still some of Big Beard's men at large, or perhaps there's a power behind him?"

The armed man sneered, "That's not for you to worry about, Yu General. Just come with us quietly!"

Long Yanan looked at Qi Dengxian again. At this moment, only if Qi Dengxian acted could she have a chance to turn the tide!

"This coward!" Long Yanan gritted her teeth in anger as Qi Dengxian continued to ignore everything around him.

Yu Xiaolong faced the three dangerous men and smiled slightly, saying, "Do you know there's a saying in the Hua Country martial arts world—'Within arm's reach, one can be a match for a nation.'"

The three men's expressions changed, and they shouted, "Enough talk, if you don't want to die, come with us now!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Xiaolong sprang up like lightning from her seat, her movements as agile as a dragon. Her graceful arm extended, swiftly seizing a gun.

At the same time, her hand struck the opponent's throat with a crisp crack, taking him down instantly. The other two didn't have time to react before being struck on the forehead, collapsing to the ground with a thud, their fate unknown.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Xiaolong effortlessly subdued the three dangerous men.

Long Yanan was shocked, not expecting Yu Xiaolong to single-handedly take down three armed men without causing any harm to the innocent passengers.

"I'm sorry for the scare, everyone. I'll arrange for someone to handle this immediately. It won't delay the flight," Yu Xiaolong said with a slight bow, smiling at the stunned passengers.

One passenger seemed to recognize her and exclaimed, "You're Lieutenant General Yu Xiaolong, right? The rising star of our country, hailed as the goddess of war!"

"So it's General Yu Xiaolong, my apologies. It's an honor to be on the same flight as General Xiaolong."

"Hahaha, with General Yu here, this flight couldn't be safer! This little incident is nothing for General Yu to worry about."

Once everyone recognized Yu Xiaolong, they couldn't help but shower her with praise.

Soon, military personnel arrived to handle the three dangerous men subdued by Yu Xiaolong, and the flight schedule remained unaffected.

Long Yanan couldn't help but look at Qi Dengxian with disdain. This guy didn't seem like a man at all.

Yu Xiaolong said to Qi Dengxian indifferently, "We're not from the same world. Stop following me; it won't change my mind."

Long Yanan also sneered, "If you keep pestering Miss, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Undoubtedly, these words drew everyone's attention, and they looked at Qi Dengxian with eyes full of disdain, as if he were a toad lusting after a swan.

Qi Dengxian ignored the mockery and ridicule, and after arriving at Zhonghai City Airport, he disembarked with his luggage and left.

"Huh? What's this..." Long Yanan noticed a letter left on Qi Dengxian's seat and handed it to Yu Xiaolong.

Yu Xiaolong glanced at it, then paused and smiled, "He didn't come for me; he's here to find another woman."

"That's good for him. He should know we're not from the same world, and after this, he can completely give up on the idea."

Just after getting off the plane, Qi Dengxian walked out of the airport and saw a familiar man.

"Second Boss!"

Upon seeing Qi Dengxian, the man immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, respectfully addressing him.

This scene left the surrounding travelers stunned.

"Who is that? Am I seeing things? Isn't that Wang Wanjin, the richest man in Zhonghai?"

"Is the richest man Wang actually bowing to a young man? Could he be a big shot from the Imperial Capital?"

"My god, Wang Wanjin is always so arrogant, looking down on everyone. Who could deserve such a grand gesture from him? This young man is incredible..."

Qi Dengxian chuckled and got into Wang Wanjin's Rolls-Royce.

Just as Yu Xiaolong walked out of the airport, she saw a luxurious Rolls-Royce speeding past her, catching a glimpse of a familiar figure through the window.

"Hmm? I must be mistaken," Yu Xiaolong laughed at herself. How could Qi Dengxian, who had been expelled from the Qi family, possibly afford such a luxury car?
