The Mad Warriors

The strange sound interrupted them, and Wang Xuan was really puzzled. Who would want to die for no reason?

The door was pushed open, and a tall, imposing man in a suit, with a buzz cut, eagle eyes, and cold brows, walked in, exuding an aura as imposing as a mountain, which dominated the atmosphere of the entire room.

The soldier, an absolute professional soldier, was even more imposing than Zhang Haipeng, the deputy director Wang Xuan had encountered earlier that day. With just one look, Wang Xuan knew that this man must be the kind of professional soldier who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.

Could they be government officials sent to negotiate? But this isn't the right time; Wang Xuan is currently meeting with Liang Zhixia's parents.

Therefore, Wang Xuan was immediately displeased with the professional soldier in front of him, especially by the sharp look in the middle-aged soldier's eyes. Wang Xuan felt as naked as a young girl in front of this middle-aged soldier.

Wang Xuan naturally spoke first, fearing that this middle-aged soldier might cause trouble: "Sir, is there a problem?"

The soldier, who had been keeping a stern face, glanced at Wang Xuan and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Almost there."

When the middle-aged soldier said this, Wang Xuan was completely baffled. What did he mean by "almost"? Just as Wang Xuan was about to ask the soldier what he meant, Liang Zhixia came up to him and said, "Uncle, why are you making such a face? Who owes you money?"

Luckily, Wang Xuan hadn't drunk any water at that moment, or he really would have choked to death.

As soon as Liang Zhixia finished speaking to her uncle, the middle-aged soldier, who had been keeping a straight face, immediately changed his expression, smiling and laughing. His change of expression was incredibly fast.

At the same time, Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin called out together, "Big Brother!" Liang Zhixia's uncle simply responded, then happily patted Liang Zhixia's head, saying, "Weren't you scared today? It's too dangerous outside. If you can't handle it, come join my army as a field nurse!"

Who knew that Xia Wenyin would suddenly have an angry expression: "Xia Zhen, say that again!" Xia Zhen is Xia Wenyin's brother, how could Xia Wenyin call her brother so rudely? Of course there is a reason. Back then, Liang Zhixia was able to go abroad to join the medical aid team because Liang Zhixia secretly asked her uncle Xia Zhen to arrange it. Therefore, indirectly, Liang Zhixia's disfigurement is also related to her uncle.

Xia Zhen was embarrassed by his sister's harsh words. He stammered, "Oh, I was just saying. No, no, really." At the same time, Liang Zhixia pulled Xia Zhen to Wang Xuan and introduced him, "Uncle, this is me."

Before Liang Zhixia could finish her introduction, Xia Zhen interrupted, "Stop! This young man is quite interesting." What did that mean? Did Xia Zhen know Wang Xuan's identity? Suddenly, Wang Xuan panicked. An uncle's love for his nephew is genuine. If Xia Zhen told Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin about Wang Xuan's true identity now, then their marriage would be over.

Liang Zhixia was still unhappy: "Uncle, why do you keep interrupting me? I'm not your soldier. Really, you're a commander in your army, but here you're just my uncle." When Liang Zhixia revealed Xia Zhen's identity, Wang Xuan couldn't help but choke up.

"Commander! Just in terms of presence alone, it's very similar." Wang Xuan glanced outside the door and, sure enough, there were guards waiting there.

Liang Zhixia then introduced Wang Xuan: "Wang Xuan, this is my uncle, he's a soldier. Uncle, this is my friend, Wang Xuan, he just returned to China." What Wang Xuan was more afraid of was that Liang Zhixia would reveal what he had been doing abroad, but Liang Zhixia seemed to be very clever and avoided saying anything she shouldn't have.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Zhen kept staring at Wang Xuan, making Wang Xuan feel a little uneasy. These professional soldiers from China were indeed extraordinary. Wang Xuan had encountered many high-ranking officers when he worked as a mercenary abroad, but none of them possessed Xia Zhen's innate, chilling aura.

Xia Wenyin was naturally quite surprised: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Xia Zhen suddenly chuckled and patted Liang Zhixia's head: "Oh dear, if Shuang'er hadn't told me that your family was discussing my niece's important life event here, I wouldn't have come." Actually, Xia Zhen's military district was nearby, and after Xia Zhen's daughter, Xia Ningshuang, told him, Xia Zhen rushed over without stopping.

Xia Zhen sat down quite naturally. Wang Xuan had truly forgotten to investigate Liang Zhixia's mother's family connections. He hadn't expected Liang Zhixia's uncle to be a military commander, which was naturally extremely troublesome for Wang Xuan. For Xia Zhen, finding out his own identity would be a piece of cake.

Seeing Wang Xuan's somewhat nervous and timid expression, Xia Wenyin immediately became displeased: "Little Wang, it's alright, it's alright, we're all family, sit down, sit down." But Xia Zhen immediately retorted: "What do you mean by 'family'? Did I agree to that?" Sure enough, the visitor was not friendly.

Standing next to Xia Zhen, Liang Zhixia naturally punched her uncle's shoulder unhappily: "Uncle, what are you saying?" But who knew that Xia Zhen would say again: "Oh, I was just saying. Your aunt will be here soon." Well, this is going to be interesting.

Wang Xuan noticed a detail: Liang Qiyun's expression didn't seem good. This clearly indicated the Xia family's dominance. Xia Zhen hadn't spoken properly to Liang Qiyun since arriving.

Perhaps it really is true that "a scholar can't reason with a soldier." These two men were, in fact, a scholar and a soldier.

The door creaked open again, and before the person arrived, the voice came first—a cold, womanly voice: "I'd like to see who's so capable as to dare marry my daughter." A woman walked in, a beautiful woman, and a woman who looked 170% like Xia Ningshuang, but with a somewhat cold demeanor.

Wang Xuan noticed that Liang Qiyun's expression had worsened, and Liang Qiyun had turned her head away, refusing to look at this aloof and cold woman.

Liang Zhixia immediately lowered her head obediently and said, "Auntie, you're here too." The aloof and cold woman took Liang Zhixia's hand and said, "Our child has grown up!" Wang Xuan noticed something interesting: the people in his uncle's family seemed to really like Liang Zhixia; their expressions couldn't be faked.

Liang Zhixia pulled the assertive woman to Wang Xuan's side and began introducing them again: "Auntie, this is my friend Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan, this is my aunt." Wang Xuan was indeed a little flustered, and immediately nodded: "Hello."

Click! Just then, Liang Zhixia's uncle, Xia Zhen, took a picture of Wang Xuan with his phone. Even a fool could guess that Xia Zhen was trying to find out about him.

Liang Zhixia was naturally unhappy and displeased: "What are you doing, Uncle? That's very impolite." Wang Xuan now understood why the Xia family was so powerful. Xia Zhen, on the other hand, was indifferent: "Oh, what's wrong with me taking a picture of my niece's boyfriend? Really."

Leng Binglan sat down directly next to Xia Wenyin: "Such a big thing happening in the family, are you two planning to keep it from the old man?"

Liang Qiyun rolled his eyes at Leng Binglan without answering, while Xia Wenyin smiled and said, "Hehe, sister-in-law, it's not what you think. This young man, Xiao Wang, just returned to the country today. We're just having a simple meal to get to know each other. We know that Zhixia's engagement requires the old man's approval, so we're just having a chat with Xiao Wang to get to know him."

After fiddling with his phone for a while, Xia Zhen turned his attention to Wang Xuan: "Kid, our Xia family patriarch said he wants to marry Zhi Xia." As Xia Zhen said this, Leng Binglan followed with a very disdainful attitude: "He has to marry into the family." This was clearly a test of Wang Xuan's patience.

Although Wang Xuan genuinely didn't mind becoming a son-in-law, these people kept bringing it up so arrogantly in front of him that even Wang Xuan, with his good temper, would eventually lose his temper.

Liang Zhixia quickly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, Aunt, why are you saying these things? Wang Xuan and I, we, we..." Liang Zhixia herself didn't know how to explain herself next.

Before Liang Zhixia could finish speaking, her uncle Xia Zhen launched into a provocative question: "Wang Xuan, right? You're not young anymore, what are you planning to do back in China?"

Then, Leng Binglan pressed on relentlessly: "Don't you have a job yet? If you don't, I can introduce you to a few. My daughter and I need a driver; the pay is pretty good." Is this some kind of humiliating thing?

Xia Wenyin was about to explain something: "Big brother and sister-in-law, Wang Xuan," but was interrupted by Leng Binglan: "Don't speak. Your brother and I will help Zhixia assess him. If he can't even pass our test, then it will be even more difficult for the old man. I think this kid is barely passable! We'll help you find out more."

Liang Zhixia was like an ant on a hot pan. Her uncle was a soldier and spoke too directly, and her aunt was a successful businesswoman who sometimes spoke in a very provocative way.

No one seemed to give Wang Xuan a chance to speak. Just as Wang Xuan was about to say something, Xia Zhen asked again, "Kid, let's be honest, you're not bad-looking, so you must have a lot of suitors outside, right? Are you planning to keep your wife at home while having affairs on the side? If you have such thoughts, I'll kill you!"

Leng Binglan quickly chimed in, "These young people nowadays, don't think you're so great just because you've been abroad. They're back in China and still can't find jobs! They couldn't make it abroad, could they?"

At this moment, Wang Xuan was already fantasizing about using a Gatling gun blazing with blue flames to mow down the couple a hundred times. Why be so aggressive? Why have such a strange sense of superiority? To be honest, even if Wang Xuan went back to China and did nothing, he wouldn't be able to spend all his assets in a hundred years.

Wang Xuan still wore his sunny smile as he looked at the two of them. He could tell that his uncle and aunt truly loved Liang Zhixia, even though she was disfigured; it didn't diminish the elders' affection for the younger generation. However, Wang Xuan naturally disliked this attitude.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Xia Ningshuang walked in with her icy expression: "Wang Xuan, right?" Well, another troublemaker.

This was practically a three-way interrogation, and Wang Xuan wasn't even a criminal. But just then, Liang Qiyun, looking rather displeased, stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, let's..." Xia Wenyin immediately stopped Liang Qiyun, "Xiao Wang, let's eat and talk."

Actually, Liang Zhixia was very scared. She hadn't seen Wang Xuan for a very long time, and she wasn't even sure if Wang Xuan's love for her was still the same as it had been when they were abroad. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to persuade her uncle's family.
