Chapter 226 - Incredibly Tough (2/2)

If they were not situated in a military camp, Lin Jiaxuan would actually suspect that she had bumped into a celebrity snob.

“There is indeed something.” Lin Jiaxuan quickly said as she was also afraid that Qing Fen would just turn around and leave. “There are two things, the first was to congratulate you for defeating James, reclaiming the name of our military camp.

“Oh.” Qin Fen half-heartedly nodded his head. In comparison to the intricate Golden Triangle, as well as the fish-scale gorilla called upon by Wu Lianda, James was indeed child’s play.

This kind of child’s play really could not lift his excitement.

Lin Jiaxuan stared at Qin Fen blankly, waiting for a modest reply that most people would usually give.

Only after a few seconds when Qin Fen showed no signs of giving a further response did she realize that the “Oh” was his only response to her wish.

Lin Jiaxuan gave a deadly stare to Qin Fen. She hurried her way here to congratulate him, only to get a simple “Oh” in return.

Anger rose furiously in her chest. Her towering breasts moved up and down in accordance with her breath under her fitting uniform.

The dramatic change of this sexy figure had also caused Qin Fen’s eyes to brighten unconsciously.

He had tasted the greatest pleasure between men and women with Song Jia not too long ago. Based on the instincts of a man, his glance swept toward the pair of towering bouncy breasts that would make men want to grab and squeeze.

Being a beautiful woman, Lin Jiaxuan had often been sneakily stared by men. As she had had many experiences like this, her instincts in this matter had also sharpened.

As she felt Qin Fen’s gaze, Lin Jiaxuan once again thought about both times she was looked at and touched by Qin Fen during practice. The anger in her heart rocketed once again.

“You!” Lin Jiaxuan wanted to slap Qin Fen. She wasn’t sure when, but Qin Fen’s steel-like hands had already grabbed her firmly by the wrist. The tyrannical power caused an extreme pain that made her feel as if her wrist was about to snap.

“Ah?”

Qin Fen was surprised. He let out a slight smile as he looked at his hand that was grabbing her wrist. As he had been in fight mode throughout his days at the Golden Triangle, his body almost seemed to be constantly operating on reflex.

He released his grip. Lin Jiaxuan immediately retracted her sore right hand and looked at Qin Fen with an enraged look, “You…”

“It is my bad staring at your breasts. I shall apologize to you. But I can’t allow you to slap me in the face because of this.”

Lin Jiaxuan heard Qin Fen’s indifference in mentioning her breasts, as well as the calm and steadiness in his sentence that followed. She was so angry that her hands and legs started to tremble.

“What’s the second thing?” Qin Fen looked up at the sky. He had an expression that was somewhat annoyed, “Please hurry, I wish to rest early today.”

Lin Jiaxuan took in a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the anger in her chest, “The cultivation arts you gave me previously was incomplete. I heard that you were back. Can you give me the full set now?”

“Ah?” Qin Fen raised his hand to scratch the back of his head, “Sorry, I had forgotten about this.”

“What!?”

“I forgot, sorry. Wait till I have the time to sort it out for you. That’s all.”

Qin Fen dropped those words, turned his back and walked quickly toward the living quarters. During his days at the Golden Triangle, he never got to sleep calmly and peacefully due to the fear of what he would sleep-talk in his dreams. He finally got an easy opportunity today — he would not miss it for anything.

“Hold on, you…”

Lin Jiaxuan’s had not finished shouting what she wanted to say, yet Qin Fen had already waved his hand at her while walking toward the living quarters.

“You…” Lin Jiaxuan stared at him with tears that were almost going to fall out of her eyes: “You… if I still don’t reach five-star, my father will really be in danger…”

The door of the living quarters had closed, blocking Lin Jiaxuan’s last words. The wind was blowing against the hair on her beautiful face.

Under the moonlight, Lin Jiaxuan let out a sigh of sorrow, turned and walked away, lonely, from Qin Fen’s living quarters.

One moonlit night, in a villa in Shenyang…

“Okay, okay okay. My son, I know. Don’t worry, I would definitely help you snatch this spot. That’s right, as long as you perform well during the tournament, I’m sure Song Jia will definitely notice you when you attend the Song family’s banquet later.”

The extremely old mobile phone was gently buckled onto the landline telephone frame.

The woman twisted her waist while she left the room. Her high heels stomped onto the ground, making a squeaky sound that had a sense of urgency.

“Third brother… Third brother…”

The sharpness of the woman’s voice was like the sound of porcelain rubbing against each other. This, along with her continuous knocking on the door, broke the initial tranquility in the villa.

“What’s up?”

A bald middle-aged man in his fifties who had a military uniform draped on his shoulders pushed open the sound insulated door of the study room.

“Third brother, it is me!”

There was a flirtatious rhythm to the piercing voice of the woman whose eyes showed a faint pampered temperament.

“Cao Rong, what is with you so late at night? Don’t you know that everyone else is sleeping?”

The middle-aged man twitched his not-so-thick brows. He gave a slightly unpleasant look toward his rough-looking, high cheekbones sister who was in a red vulgar nightgown.

A glimpse of unsatisfactory anger flashed across Cao Rong’s eyes. She touched her flushed cheeks and annoying said in her heart, “If it isn’t anything related to Tao Tao, I would not even be willing to see this nasty face of yours!”

“Brother, it’s actually nothing too serious.” Cao Rong squinted her eyes that were already not too big, “Tao Tao has been wanting to fight in the Recruit Tournament right? His military camp was only given three spots and had all been occupied. You are his uncle, and also the higher ups in the military region…”

“No, there is no such thing as snatching another person’s spot.”

Cao Bo coldly spat out that sentence and reached for the door but it had already been blocked by Cao Rong’s hand.

“Brother…you’re just afraid that contestant has people backing him up, right? I’ve already checked.” Cao Rong smiled with joy, “That guy is a complete civilian. He has no influential power backing him up. His name is Qin Fen, Australia recruits camp…”

“Qin Fen? Australia recruits camp?” Cao Bo looked coldly at Cao Rong, “Then you should just give up. Squad Leader Hao’s disciples had deliberately sent in reports that had Qin Fen’s name written on it.”

“Squad Leader Hao?” Cao Rong’s nostrils twitched, “What can those little nobodies do? ”

“What did you say?” Cao Bo’s face sank, “How did father teach us? As a human, we need to practice gratitude. The duties of Squad Leader Hao and the others are indeed small, but don’t forget! They had done good for our family that year! Don’t even think about this thing…”

Boom!

Cao Bo suddenly exerted force with his arm, slamming the door shut. The strong force pushed Cao Rong a few steps back before she could regain stability.

In the study, General Cao Bo hung his uniform on the bookshelf. He let out a heavy sigh as he looked toward the direction of the door. This younger sister of his was the youngest in the family with no abilities whatsoever. Just because she was cared dearly by their old lady, she always had to create some sort of mess for others to clean up. Even his brother-in-law could not stand her and would rather go live with some other woman and be called disloyal.

“Mother…” Cao Rong leaned next to an old woman who was sitting in a rocking chair, “Third brother’s arms are arched outwards. He would rather help outsiders than help his own nephew.”

The old woman had silver hair and had the look of the extremely rich. Her rough hands gently patted Cao Rong’s head, showing her a loving look.

“My daughter, what’s wrong? Tell me slowly…”

“Mother, Tao Tao wants to fight in the Recruit Tournament in order to gain pride for our family as well as for East Asia.” Cao Rong squatted next to the old woman with an angry look, “At first, the military region had already confirmed Tao Tao’s spot in competing. But Squad Leader Hao gave them a call and suggested someone else. Just to avoid trouble, brother had removed Tao Tao for him. Does he have reason, does he have a family?”

“What?” The old woman widened her eyes, yet there was not much light that came from it. She was already in her final years of life, “Go and get that unfilial son here.”

“Mother… it’s useless.” Cao Rong took advantage of the old woman’s care, “Don’t you know how third brother is? He only knows how to tell lies. He would definitely not admit to anything.”

The old woman was silent for a few seconds and then nodded, “True. Go! Bring me the phone. I will use this old face of mine to reclaim the spot Tao Tao had. Even if he didn’t have it from the start, I will still get it for him!”

“Mother… third brother said that Squad Leader Hao is graceful to our family…”

“This…” The old lady lifted her crutch and stopped mid-air. There was some hesitation written on her face, “This is indeed true… Squad Leader Hao was of great grace to our family’s old man. If it wasn’t for those little fellas who acted without the care of life and death that year, our old man’s bones would probably not even get the chance to be buried at the cemetery…”

“That’s right.” Cao Rong sighed, “Ai! Forget it then. Just take it that our Tao Tao has bad luck to simply let a child with no background to gain an advantage at the cost of Tao Tao. Our poor Tao Tao. If he could get a good ranking, he would probably gain recognition by Song Wendong. Then, our family… Ai! Let’s just forget it. This is life…”

“What? At the cost of our family?” The old woman’s loose facial muscles twitched a few times, “How can this be? Little Hao and the others are being too blind! They think that just because they did us a little favor, they could just ruin our Tao Tao’s future? As well as the development of our household? It seems that they really do not think about me at all. With this, don’t blame me for disregarding their small little deed from that year! Bring me the phone!”

“Mother…but third brother…”

“Bring it! I haven’t died yet!”

“Yes, Mother…”

Cao Rong wiped away the two lines of tears on her monkey cheeks. As she turned to get the phone, she let out a joyful smile. She immediately dialed the number on the phone and brought it to the old woman.

“It’s me, old lady Diao…”

The old woman spoke very simply. She continuously made several phone calls and finally put the phone back in Cao Rong’s hand, “It’s done. You could go back without worry. Tell Tao Tao that there will soon be good news.”

“Yes, mother.”

Cao Rong put the phone back in place and walked out of the room with a smile on her face. She said smugly while shaking her shriveled buttocks and humming a song, “Fighting with me? Hmph! Needless to say that you don’t have a background of any sort, so what if you did? Don’t tell me your relative could be a Qilin? A Black Tortoise? A Red Bird? Or a Green Dragon? Hmph! If Squad Leader Hao were to continue to intervene this time…”

Cao Rong sneered. A glimpse of cold light flashed across her shriveled triangular eyes, “If so, don’t blame me for hiring an assassin to kill off that young man Qin Fen.”
