I love you too—but we’re not meant to walk the same path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ma Qitong burst into tears and demanded of Nie Huaishang:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? If we love each other, why can’t we be together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her question, Nie Huaishang said nothing, turned his head, and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ma Qitong clung to him, weeping and pleading: “Don’t go. Don’t leave me. If you must leave, take me with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang sighed and urged her: “Why must you do this, Tontong? You’ll find many worthy men who’ll love you. You don’t have to die on this one tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Qitong shook her head after hearing him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I don’t want any worthy men. I want only you. I’ve chosen you as my one and only man—I won’t let you drive me away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang gave a bitter laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tontong, listen to me. Don’t follow me. You won’t be happy with me. I’m a lone assassin, burdened with murders and countless enemies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With me, you’ll suffer hardship, endure endless hardship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nie Huaishang finished, tears filled his eyes. He stepped around Ma Qitong to leave, but she blocked him and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you assume I won’t be happy with you? You are my happiness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether we wander in misery or eat bran and vegetable scraps—I want only you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Qitong threw her arms around Nie Huaishang, sobbing uncontrollably: “Don’t even think of making me leave. Even if you beat me, I won’t go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wherever you go, I go. When you’re hungry, I’ll cook for you. When you’re wounded, I’ll heal you. If one day you’re executed, I’ll bury you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the suffering couple, Ma Yunfei felt like he was breaking up a pair of lovebirds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfei, impatient, interrupted them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop this nonsense. Kid, since my sister loves you so much, I’ll take you to meet my father. Whether you succeed depends on whether you satisfy him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re agreeing to let us be together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Qitong exclaimed in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfei sighed helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who else would I do this for? My little sister loves this kid so much she’d run away from home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing, Ma Yunfei glared at Nie Huaishang with mockery:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you hit hard. Those punches almost knocked me out. You say you love Tontong, yet you lay into her brother like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang said nothing. He slapped a nearby tree. With a crack, the tree fell. Ma Yunfei and Ma Qitong stared, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang spoke calmly: “If it weren’t for Tontong, those slaps would’ve crushed your skull.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfei stumbled backward several steps, hastily replying: “Understood. Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d better play it safe now—he could kill me right now. A wise man doesn’t fight when outmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh come on, we’re family now. Promise me you’ll get along from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Qitong coaxed the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her plead, the two who had just been at each other’s throats now spoke warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third brother, I apologize for earlier. When we meet Father tomorrow, I hope you’ll help me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law, we’re family now. No need for formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three arrived at Yuanshan Town in harmonious silence. Along the way, Ma Yunfei kept asking Nie Huaishang about his past:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law, your skills are impressive. You were in the military, right? Why become an assassin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang scratched his head, embarrassed: “Don’t bring it up. I lost my temper in the army and hit my instructor. After I left, I became an assassin. My codename is Xianmen Baijia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Nie Huaishang, Ma Yunfei frowned inwardly: “Xianmen Baijia? I’ve never heard that codename.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ma Yunfei frown, Nie Huaishang smiled and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong, Third Brother? Feeling unwell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfei waved it off and countered: “Brother-in-law, you’re so skilled—why haven’t I heard of Xianmen Baijia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang instantly understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I operated mostly in the northeast until a year ago, when I came to the southwest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted half-heartedly in the car, upon reaching Yuanshan Town, Ma Yunfei warmly told Nie Huaishang: “Brother-in-law, stay here tonight. It’s not late. Tomorrow I’ll take you to meet Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll follow your lead, Third Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After politely saying this, Nie Huaishang walked into the place Ma Yunfei had arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Nie Huaishang enter, Ma Yunfei turned grave and ordered his subordinate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send someone to dig up everything on this guy. As detailed as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know that before his men could investigate, the police had already forged Nie Huaishang’s records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ma family’s intelligence network moved fast. Soon, Nie Huaishang’s dossier lay before Ma Yunfei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it, Ma Yunfei rubbed his bald head, troubled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It matches exactly. How do I test if he’s police? Maybe tomorrow, let Father check his background.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shichang nearly fainted when he learned his daughter had brought home a stranger to be her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had always doted on her, never letting her touch the drug trade, only hoping she’d live safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his daughter’s sake, he agreed to meet this unknown young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of Ma Yunfei and Ma Qitong, Nie Huaishang met the drug lord Ma Shichang, whose every gesture exuded the aura of a formidable warlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his father, Ma Yunfei was still green. Ma Shichang exuded overwhelming pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nie Huaishang had seen great men—his brother Nie Mingjue, commander of Langya Battalion, Blue Army commander—all held higher rank and greater presence than Ma Shichang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, Ma Shichang was merely a bandit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shichang’s aura, though fierce, failed to stir even a ripple in Nie Huaishang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ma Shichang saw the young man beside Ma Qitong remain calm and composed under his pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation left everyone feeling as if bathed in spring breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their exchange, Ma Shichang remarked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you’re the finest young man I’ve ever met.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ma Qitong beamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Father—you approve?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9326353d1a6a0b724509949e0c43a6d6ccfb901253f20eca3a4bcd9eb249d0a4","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-48","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-46",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
