A sharp shout suddenly rang out, catching everyone's attention. All eyes turned towards the source of the voice.
"Mr. Liu."
"Bingqing."
Before the receptionist could speak, Wang Gebi was already tattling, "Bingqing, you'd better keep your subordinates in check. She blocked even me and didn't believe me when I told her we have an engagement."
Liu Bingqing's face was solemn as she coldly said, "Mr. Wang, please watch how you address me. Anyway, come upstairs with me first. We need to clarify some matters to avoid misunderstandings."
"Mr. Liu, I..."
Not letting the receptionist finish, Liu Bingqing gently interrupted, "It's fine. You did well. Go on back. And your medical expenses for the injuries will be covered by the company as work injury."
With that said, Liu Bingqing ignored Wang Gebi and headed straight towards the elevator. Seeing this, Wang Gebi hurriedly followed after her.
Once in the CEO's office, the secretary served them tea then left, leaving the two of them alone.
"Mr. Wang, this is my letter of resignation. I've been meaning to hand it to you for some time now but kept forgetting with everything that's happened. Since you're here today, please take it."
Liu Bingqing placed a document on the desk and spoke evenly.
Wang Gebi said angrily, "Liu Bingqing, what is the meaning of this?"
"Mr. Wang, this is my answer."
Faced with Wang Gebi's questioning, Liu Bingqing's expression remained unchanged as she continued speaking evenly.
"I know you blame me for Uncle Liu's death, but that was an accident. I didn't expect the thugs to be so vicious either. I only wanted to protect all of you."
Seeing he couldn't intimidate Liu Bingqing, Wang Gebi changed his tone to a softer, more affectionate one, "Don't say you don't blame me. That would be too fake. But I can understand the circumstances back then very well."
Not letting Wang Gebi feel happy, Liu Bingqing went on, "But I'm not dissolving our engagement because of that incident. You know I've never liked you."
"But our engagement was arranged by our elders, and you agreed back then too. Don't forget, if not for my family's help, Liu's Group would have collapsed long ago."
There was a hint of hysteria in Wang Gebi's voice. He couldn't accept his woman betraying him.
"It's true I agreed back then. But you also said you'd agree to dissolve the engagement. I've handed in my resignation now, and there's 100 billion in this card to repay you for your help back then."
Liu Bingqing pushed another card across the desk towards Wang Gebi.
Wang Gebi angrily threw the card onto the floor and tore up the resignation letter. "No, I don't agree."
The atmosphere was growing increasingly tense. Just then, a head peeked in from the door crack. "Mr. Liu, is everything alright?"
"Ye Feng, perfect timing. It's almost lunch. Let's go eat downstairs while we chat."
Ignoring Wang Gebi, Liu Bingqing strode straight towards the door.
But as she walked past Wang Gebi, a hand blocked her path.
"Liu Bingqing, don't tell me you've taken a liking to this gigolo. What's so good about him?"
"Let go." Liu Bingqing sternly admonished.
Seeing the situation, Ye Feng rubbed his head and walked in, saying, "Sir, please calm down. This isn't the place to make a scene."
"Calm down, your xxxx!"
Feeling utterly cuckolded, Wang Gebi immediately lashed out with a kick towards Ye Feng's lower body without another word.
Bang bang pow!
After a bout of punches and kicks, Wang Gebi lay bruised and beaten on the ground.
"Let's go. Call security to escort him out later."
Liu Bingqing casually looped her arm around Ye Feng's and left without a backward glance.
Leaving Wang Gebi alone on the ground, unable to get up.
"Damn you adulterers, you'll regret this!"
Hobbling back home, a disheveled Wang Gebi collapsed in bed on his back. Suddenly, the image of a woman appeared before his eyes.
She was his comrade-in-arms from his past life. They had grown up and carried out missions together. She was someone he could absolutely trust.
He wondered if she was still alive.
Full of hope, Wang Gebi logged into an account and typed out a mysterious code.
This was a secret website Xi Ying had specially set up for the two of them, for the purpose of covertly contacting each other when in danger.
In an unnamed villa in some city
A strange alarm sounded, "Beep beep beep."
Shortly after, a beautiful woman emerged from the bathroom in the midst of freshening up. But her eyes seemed to be constantly filled with tears.
"Is it you, Lan Ling? You're still alive, right?"
Forgetting her dripping wet body, the woman sat down at the computer and rapidly tapped the keyboard.
This was their private website. On top of sending messages, more importantly it allowed them to locate each other.
Soon, the woman found the address of the other end of the website.
She took out her phone and booked a flight to Jiang City departing in three days.
"Hello, is this the police station? I wish to report in real name that international hitman Xi Ying will arrive at Jiang City International Airport on flight 1024 three days from now. Yes, it's me again. Don't worry, the source is absolutely reliable."
Three days later, Xi Ying, wearing sunglasses and looking every bit a big celebrity, boarded the plane bound for Jiang City.
Filled with anticipation for Lan Ling, she murmured to herself, "Ying, I'm coming. No matter where you are, I will definitely find you."
Jiang City Airport had long been cleared out. Squads of fully armed officers and soldiers lay in ambush around the airport.
Even the passengers walking to and fro were actually undercover armed police officers, seemingly going about normal passenger activities while closely watching the incoming dangerous individual.
Xi Ying
Ranked 23rd on the international hitman leaderboard. Responsible for three assassination cases in Hua Country, with no survivors among the victims.
Upon receiving the tipoff, higher command took it very seriously and issued orders to arrest and bring her to justice at all costs.
Soon the flight arrived. Lost in thoughts of Lan Ling, a delighted Xi Ying disembarked from the plane.
But gradually her professional instincts as a top hitman made her notice something off about the airport, especially the disappearance of passengers who had been on the plane with her.
Xi Ying did not stop walking, but pretended to be in a hurry to the bathroom.
"Ready, she's noticed."
With a "bang", Xi Ying staggered, barely avoiding falling to her knees.
A heart-wrenching pain radiated from her thigh. Without looking down, she knew she had been shot in the thigh.
Struggling to find a nearby hostage, she discovered the crowds converging towards her, with dangerous auras warning her these people were highly dangerous.
"Don't move!"
Dozens of guns appeared in the hands of the disguised armed police officers surrounding Xi Ying tightly.
Soon some came up and restrained Xi Ying in handcuffs. Her entire body was searched thoroughly, down to every strand of hair.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.
