After finally coming to her senses, Ye Qingi suddenly grabbed Qin Bijun’s hand, "Mom, I’ve changed my mind."
"What mind have you changed?" Qin Bijun asked.
"Even if I can’t marry my brother-in-law, I’m willing to follow him."
Ye Qingi was resolute, as long as she could stay by Xu Qianli’s side, status and titles no longer mattered.
Qin Bijun chuckled and tapped Ye Qingi’s forehead.
"You, oh you, it seems you’ve been poisoned by that rascal Xu."
"It’s true, he’s Sister Chen Wen’s child, it’d be strange if he didn’t have any charm."
"It’s just a pity, he’s as bad as his father, always flirting and seducing, who knows how many girls he’s hard."
"Speaking of which, here in Wangdong Province, there’s a woman who probably hates his father, Xu Zhi, to death. I wonder if she’ll make a move when little Xu cos this ti."
"If she makes a move, little Xu is in for so tough tis."
ntioning that woman, Qin Bijun felt sowhat regretful.
Back in the day, that woman, just like Chen Wen, was a true Heavenly Chosen Girl, a woman like the phoenix above the nine heavens, yet she ended up in Chen Wen’s hands.
Xu Zhi had abandoned her to follow Chen Wen, betraying his family to be together with her, leaving her utterly defeated.
Later, that woman couldn’t face staying in Beijing, so she married into Wangdong Province, becoming the young mistress of a powerful clan and now even the Family Head, controlling a formidable family.
Could little Xu Qianli handle it if she took action?
But ultimately, a son bearing his father’s debts was only natural.
Hearing that soone might target Xu Qianli, Ye Qingi grew anxious, "Mom, who is it? Who’s the woman you’re talking about?"
"Well, I can’t say for now, as she hasn’t made a move yet, and perhaps she has already let go of her grudges."
"Besides, it wasn’t her fault back then; it was Xu Zhi, little Xu’s father. A son repaying his father’s debts is only right."
"Don’t worry, she won’t go too far, she definitely knows her limits."
Qin Bijun only revealed half of it; the woman probably wouldn’t go for a killing blow, but if she did strike, she would definitely make Xu Qianli’s life a living hell.
Not long after Xu Qianli had left Ye Qingi’s room, he was called over to the study by Ye Zhanhua.
Upon arrival, Xu Qianli saw that in addition to his father-in-law, there were seven or eight others in the study.
Each one was a rugged, burly man, radiating a fierce aura that clearly showed they were not to be trifled with.
The n had been waiting, and upon seeing Xu Qianli, each glared with intense gleaming eyes.
One of the n, in his forties, quickly stepped forward and circled Xu Qianli a few tis before shaking his head in disappointnt.
"Commander, you praised this young man to the skies. I thought he was really sothing."
"Now that I see him, he seems quite ordinary."
"His physique might be strong amongst ordinary people, but it’s really quite average in our theater. Any soldier from my special forces unit has more muscle than him!"
"With such a physique, how much strength can he have?"
"He can fight a hundred n at once? Commander, you’ve exaggerated a bit too much."
The man was blunt, belittling Xu Qianli without mincing words.
Xu Qianli’s gaze landed on the man’s shoulder, a senior colonel’s insignia, undoubtedly a formidable figure.
Yet his words, how could they be so unpleasant to hear.
Xu Qianli responded, "Uncle, you’re not being fair with your words. What’s wrong with my physique, and why can’t I fight a hundred? Just from eting , you look down on people so much, is that necessary?"
"Hey there, you still not convinced?"
"Not convinced, huh? Well, I want to see what you are capable of."
"Co on, let try you first!"
The man reached out his hand.
His na was Zou Li, the leader of the special forces division in the East Sea Theater.
The special forces division was the trump card of the East Sea Theater, and each soldier under Zou Li’s command was an elite, undergoing the most rigorous training almost every day.
He himself had been equally dedicated for over twenty years, never slacking in his training. In his youth, he was fortunate to have t an expert who gave him guidance and a glimpse into the path of martial arts, making him sowhat of a Martial Arts Master.
He just couldn’t believe it, would this young man in front of him be his match?
A strength contest, huh? Who’s afraid of whom?
Xu Qianli was crystal clear, imdiately grabbing the man’s hand.
As their hands clasped together, Zou Li imdiately exerted force, starting with fifty percent of his strength.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qianli didn’t show any signs of pain.
Seeing this, Zou Li quickly increased his power, seventy percent, eighty percent, up to full strength, but still, he couldn’t overpower Xu Qianli.
At this point, Zou Li had to retract his underestimation, pulling back his hand and reevaluating Xu Qianli with a fixed gaze.
"So young, and yet your grip is so strong. I used all my strength, and yet I’m not your match."
"And from the looks of it, you haven’t even exerted yourself, let alone your full strength."
"Kid, you’re impressive!"
"No wonder the superior said you could take on a hundred by yourself—good, very good, indeed."
"I could tell right off you were ant to be a soldier. How about it, join our special forces division? I’ll make you the instructor for our entire division. What do you say?"
"Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Zou Li, the commander of the special forces division."
Knowing Xu Qianli was extraordinary, Zou Li suddenly felt a passion for talent.
Such a young man, if he could be recruited as an instructor in the special forces division, would certainly enhance their combat capabilities.
Xu Qianli said, "Thank you, Commander Zou, for your high regard, but the things I’ve learned can’t be taught. I’m not suitable for the position of an instructor in the special forces division, and I already have a job that I don’t want to change at the mont."
"There’s an exception to everything, and everything is negotiable. Joining our special forces division doesn’t an you have to be an instructor. There are plenty of good positions waiting for you. You just pick one, and I’ll arrange it."
"And look at your age, it’s the perfect ti to settle down. We have a won’s battalion in our special forces division, each one a heroine, with decent character and appearance. If you have your eye on soone, I’ll help you straight away, sorting out the marriage."
"As for things like housing benefits, all that is negotiable..."
Zou Li didn’t want to give up, persistently persuading Xu Qianli to join their special forces division.
Seeing this, the others hurried over, all joining in to invite Xu Qianli.
Unable to withstand their enthusiasm, Xu Qianli turned his gaze toward Ye Zhanhua; his father-in-law had orchestrated this situation, so he needed his help.
Ye Zhanhua cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Alright, you guys stop bothering him. This youngster is solely focused on the official scene, a true bureaucrat."
"I asked you to co here, not to recruit him, but to lend him to you, to help you deal with those stubborn elents under your command."
"You guys have always complained about having trouble managing so hotheads, so from influential families, spoiled beyond reprimand."
"So are martial arts prodigies from martial families, who you can’t even beat."
"You can’t handle it, leave it to this guy. Let him drill them hard, I assure you that he will make those rebels behave."
