The Mad Warriors

After returning to China, Wang Xuan, whether due to acclimatization issues or the widow's beauty, took a long time to react.

Park Yoon-joo's so-called deal wasn't about making a shameful deal with Wang Xuan by offering herself up; the key point was her talk of "rebirth"—treating Liang Zhixia's disfigured body. It must be said that this Korean widow had a sharp eye, immediately discerning the relationship between Wang Xuan and Liang Zhixia in the treatment room.

So now it's quite clear that Park Yoon-joo has to use her ultimate move if she wants Wang Hyun to protect her and her daughter.

"This woman doesn't seem like a good person!" That was Wang Xuan's assessment of Park Yoon-joo. However, it must be said that the conditions Park Yoon-joo offered were very attractive to Wang Xuan: treatment for Liang Zhixia's disfigured face. Wang Xuan looked at the check in his left hand and then at the gold-plated business card in his right, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, in a conference room at the Northwest Security Bureau headquarters, short videos of just over ten seconds were being projected onto the wall. The videos showed Wang Xuan's eight-second kill, each second a textbook example of a perfect execution.

Sitting in the center was Zhang Haipeng, the deputy director from earlier, who was still watching the video with great appreciation.

However, another security analyst nearby began to analyze: "Based on this kill in just eight seconds, it can be concluded that no special operations force in the entire five northwestern provinces can achieve this level of skill, not even special forces soldiers in the army can do it."

Others chimed in, "Yes, so we can consider resubmitting Wang Xuan's threat level, even if the General Administration has suspended surveillance on him for now."

Others had different thoughts: "If this person could be recruited for our own use, that would be truly remarkable."

Zhang Haipeng, who was still staring intently at the video as if appreciating art, said, "Let's not rush to conclusions and wait and see."

"What's wrong with Director Hai? Knowing his temper, wouldn't he have arrested all the mercenaries who returned from overseas?"

"Who can argue with that?"

"But he's really fierce compared to this kid. I couldn't even last one round against him."

At this moment, Zhang Haipeng smacked his lips again, still excitedly staring at the broadcast video: "Go, let all the field instructors come and watch this video. I want to improve the combat effectiveness of the field operations." So, from then on, this eight-second video was not only used as teaching material in the security department, but it was even used as teaching material in the special forces.

Finally, Deputy Director Zhang Haipeng thought of something else: "Go, arrange a meeting with this Wang Xuan for me. I need to talk to him tonight."

But someone immediately replied, "Report: While at the hospital, we overheard Wang Xuan having dinner with his mother-in-law and father-in-law that night. It seems his mother-in-law really likes him. Pretty boy." The investigator seemed a little unhappy. After all, Wang Xuan is so capable and handsome, of course he makes people jealous.

Zhang Haipeng seemed somewhat disappointed: "Never mind then, make the arrangements for me. I need to go to the Kyoto headquarters to investigate."

After the meeting, one investigator whispered to another, "I checked, and Liang Zhixia's mother, Xia Wenyin, is the head of pediatrics and a very nice person. However, Liang Zhixia's father, Liang Qiyun, is not so easy to talk to; he's a university professor. As the saying goes, 'A scholar can't reason with a soldier.' Tonight's banquet is sure to be very interesting."

"That's true. I reckon Wang Xuan might kill his father-in-law tonight."

As evening fell, in a luxurious private room at the [Da Yu Gang Seafood] restaurant in Xiancheng, Liang Zhixia was playing with chopsticks while lying on the table, while Dr. Xia Wenyin was examining her husband Liang Qiyun's attire. Liang Qiyun was considered handsome among middle-aged men, and his refined glasses gave him the air of a cultured man.

Liang Qiyun's expression was not good. This was probably the most heartbreaking moment for any father, as his daughter brought her boyfriend to meet his parents.

Dr. Xia Wenyin patted Liang Qiyun on the shoulder, somewhat displeased, and 'scolded' him: "Alright, alright, ever since you heard that a man was looking for our daughter, I bet your face has scared a lot of your students today, hasn't it?"

Liang Zhixia, who was standing nearby, got up and solemnly emphasized again and again, "Dad, Mom, Wang Xuan is not my boyfriend!" Although she said that, Liang Qiyun still had a stern face: "Is that so? Your old man isn't blind. Ever since I came back alive from the aid mission, every night when you're home, I've been looking at a photo."

Dr. Xia Wenyin was genuinely surprised: "Oh, how come I didn't know? Sigh, it seems I'm a terrible mother."

Liang Qiyun glanced at the time again, clearly annoyed: "Look, look, what time is it? Young people have no sense of time at all, really." Liang Qiyun was obviously deliberately causing trouble; Wang Xuan had agreed to meet at eight o'clock, but it was only seven-thirty now.

Dr. Xia Wenyin glanced at her daughter beside her. Every time she saw the shocking scars on her daughter's face, Xia Wenyin's heart trembled. It was truly a miracle that her daughter had survived. Now, with her daughter's appearance disfigured, finding a husband would be a huge problem.

Liang Zhixia seemed bored. As she picked up her phone and walked out, she said, "I'm going to the restroom."

After Liang Zhixia left, Dr. Xia Wenyin's attitude immediately became domineering: "Teacher Liang, have I been too nice to you all these years? You're so fierce today, with a dark face the whole time. If outsiders didn't know, they'd think your wife was having an affair." It seemed that Dr. Xia Wenyin was the one in charge of the Liang family.

Sure enough, Mr. Liang Qiyun changed his expression very quickly, immediately putting on a smiling face and saying, "Oh, wife, you know how it is. We only have this one precious daughter. If someone wants to take her away, how can I not feel heartbroken?" As he spoke, tears welled up in Mr. Liang Qiyun's eyes.

A man's greatest love in this life will always be his little sweetheart, his lover from a past life, his warm and comforting companion.

All fathers are the same: when their daughters bring their boyfriends home, things go smoothly and amicably. If things don't go well, it can be quite troublesome. However, everyone hopes for a peaceful and harmonious meeting.

Xia Wenyin suddenly remembered something: "I said, you're not copying my dad, are you? I remember the first time you came to my house, my dad first showed you how to break bricks with his bare hands, and then he killed a pig in front of you. He even threatened you, saying that if you didn't treat me well, he would send his guard company to capture you and use you as target practice in the army."

After Xia Wenyin finished speaking, Liang Qiyun's face darkened even more: "Don't mention your old man to me. What right does he have to set rules for our family? The future son-in-law has to come to our house. What kind of old-fashioned thinking is that? Pshaw." Liang Qiyun was initially disdainful, then slammed his hand on the table: "Fine, I'll do as your old man demands and have this Wang Xuan become our live-in son-in-law. Anyway, we don't have a son."

Dr. Xia Wenyin could tell that Liang Qiyun was angry that Wang Xuan had tried to take away his precious daughter, which was why he said such hurtful things.

However, Xia Wenyin was more worried about the matter of a son-in-law who would live with the family, as Liang Qiyun had indeed set a rule that the Liang family must have a son-in-law who would live with the family.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin both tensed up in a panic. To their surprise, the person who opened the door was a woman with a perfectly proportioned figure and a face even more beautiful than the Korean widow. However, this woman's face gave off a cold, unapproachable aura.

Both Dr. Xia Wenyin and Teacher Liang Qiyun were taken aback when the aloof woman greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt." It turned out she was Xia Wenyin's brother's daughter.

Xia Wenyin looked at Liang Zhixia following behind the aloof woman and immediately accused Liang Zhixia: "You little brat, you called your cousin here to protect you, didn't you? Ningshuang, listen to what your aunt has to say." But Xia Ningshuang still interrupted Xia Wenyin coldly: "No, no, no, Aunt, you misunderstand. I'm entertaining guests here, and I just ran into Zhixia in the restroom."

Dr. Xia Wenyin chuckled, "Hehe, if you're done with your work, come over and sit for a bit later." Liang Zhixia obediently sat back down in her seat.

After leaving the private room, the aloof Xia Ningshuang immediately addressed the waiter outside, saying, "The cost of this private room is on my tab." Xia Ningshuang was puzzled as to whether the family of three had received their salaries today. Eating here, let alone Liang Qiyun being a university professor and Xia Wenyin being a department head, their combined salaries might only be enough to buy one imported king crab and a few mantis shrimp.

However, the waiter next to him immediately explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, the fee for this private room has already been paid by a Mr. Wang."

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but at that moment, Wang Xuan walked in, dressed in a suit and tie, followed by a waiter carrying groceries. Even though Xia Ningshuang was known as the cold and aloof queen of the Northwest region, never giving any man a second glance, this unfamiliar, sunny, and handsome young man made her turn her head.

The waiter greeted Wang Xuan immediately: "Mr. Wang, all the guests inside have arrived." Wang Xuan, who had been so confident just moments before, suddenly became timid and stood outside the door, not daring to push it open.

Xia Ningshuang frowned: "This man's eyes look so familiar. But why is he inviting my aunt's family to dinner?" Xia Ningshuang had no idea who this man was.

Finally, Wang Xuan mustered his courage and pushed open the door to enter.

The family of three inside watched as the door opened and Wang Xuan strode in, his back ramrod straight. The moment Liang Qiyun saw Wang Xuan's face, she was at a loss. Could this young man, so spirited and handsome, really be interested in her daughter now? If it were before, Liang Qiyun wouldn't have been surprised at all. But now, her daughter was disfigured, no longer beautiful. That was a fact, an undeniable fact.

It's true that men like beautiful women.

This was Dr. Xia Wenyin's second time meeting Wang Xuan, and she wasn't as reserved: "Little Wang, come on, have a seat." It was indeed Wang Xuan's first time meeting his parents, and he was extremely timid.

If Wang Xuan were given a gun right now, he wouldn't be afraid of facing hundreds of enemies, and he wouldn't be afraid even without a gun. But right now, he's terrified. Xia Wenyin quickly introduced him: "Little Wang, this is your uncle, Liang Qiyun. Just call him Uncle Liang. We can change it later when we have the chance." Xia Wenyin's meaning was quite clear.

Wang Xuan could tell from Liang Qiyun's dark face that this matter was going to be difficult.

Perhaps it really is true that, "One world, one kind of father-in-law."

When Liang Qiyun first met his father-in-law, his father-in-law demonstrated his skills by breaking bricks with his bare hands and slaughtering a pig right in front of him. Now that Liang Qiyun is about to become a father-in-law, being an educated man, he naturally wouldn't break bricks or slaughter a pig with his bare hands.

However, he wouldn't let Wang Xuan, a potential son-in-law, pass the test easily.

What is Liang Zhixia's state at this moment?
