Otherwise, I don’t believe you could mix so well in China,\" Zhang Yugan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after staying in the East China Military Region for a long time, he discovered that Ximen Wudi had a very close relationship with this piece of land; although Ximen Wudi didn’t say it, he saw it in his eyes, and furthermore, in the eyes of this old leader, Ximen Wudi was a piece of gold that would shine and heat up one day, and it was absolutely impossible for him to turtle up in a corner of China forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Zhang, I just had good luck and happened to meet the occasion,\" Ximen Wudi said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not intend to tell Zhang Yugan all his secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the more important reason was—this past event had become a pain in the bottom of Ximen Wudi’s heart; that kind of bone-deep desolation was enough to make anyone empathize, or even tremble uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those once blood-stained wounds would all turn into deep imprints, forever remaining in the deepest part of his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ximen Wudi, sometimes not saying it might not mean you don’t care,\" Zhang Yugan patted Ximen Wudi on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Ximen Wudi nodded: \"Uncle Zhang, thank you for taking care of my parents all these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yugan laughed: \"Silly child, what are you thanking me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone of this sentence had a feeling of being earnest and well-meaning; perhaps, for Zhang Yugan at this moment, he really treated Ximen Wudi as his own junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yugan was an excellent leader, but he also had the warmth and kindness of an ordinary old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yugan’s eyes, Ximen Wudi and Holman were both his juniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Zhang, when I finish this mission and go back, let’s get together properly; I’ll host,\" Ximen Wudi grinned, revealing his bright white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, whatever you say, it will be,\" Zhang Yugan agreed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really was cultivating Ximen Wudi as his own grandson; after all, from the moment Su Yaoguo sacrificed himself, Zhang Yugan had borne immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hours later, three private planes landed at the Capital International Airport in Nanjiang Province, and several cars were already prepared at the airport, heading directly to the airport expressway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, the three of them boarded the flight to the Capital International Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ximen Wudi boarded the plane, he specifically dialed Lin Aoxue’s phone, but it resulted in a prompt that it was turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lin Aoxue’s life habit; once she turned it off, she basically wouldn’t turn it on again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi didn’t know exactly what had happened, but he believed that Lin Aoxue must have encountered some unusual danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Lin Aoxue chose to turn it off, she must have had her own thoughts and judgment; even if Ximen Wudi rushed over anxiously, it didn’t necessarily mean he could save Lin Aoxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi guessed correctly; Lin Aoxue really had encountered trouble this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this trouble was not something she had provoked herself, but rather she had been forced into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world is just like this; the more you retreat, the more arrogant the enemy becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Lin, I advise you not to resist,\" a man said coldly; he was wearing sunglasses, a black vest, his muscles bulging all over, and his arms were tattooed with flower patterns, filled with a fierce meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a scar on the right side of his cheek, making him look extremely ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Aoxue sat in the window seat, looking out the window, her expression indifferent, as if she didn’t produce even half a ripple because of the man’s words beside her, as if the surrounding space and environment couldn’t affect her inner heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you calling Miss Lin?\" Lin Aoxue said indifferently: \"Do you know that your current actions are very impolite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a beautiful girl; it’s a pity,\" the scarred man said: \"If it weren’t for the order from above, I wouldn’t be willing to touch you either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Aoxue’s eyebrows lifted slightly: \"I advise you not to have crooked thoughts; if I encounter danger, Ximen Wudi will definitely not let it go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, do you think Ximen Wudi is some kind of good thing?\" the scarred man sneered mockingly: \"Otherwise, how could he cause such a big stir in China and drive the people of the National Security almost crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you misunderstood,\" Lin Aoxue shook her head: \"He is not that kind of person; don’t insult him.\" \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right, he is indeed not a bad person, but he is a bastard,\" the scarred man said: \"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Come with me obediently, and I guarantee I won't touch you; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, the scarred man continued: \"My men have already controlled all the cabins; you have nowhere to run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his voice had completely faded, two gunshots suddenly came from outside the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the gunfire was deafening, making the flight crew members unable to help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, there were two more bangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two shells directly shattered the porthole glass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following, two men in black rushed into the cockpit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man in black knelt on one knee, holding an assault rifle, pressing it against the scarred man's temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other man in black picked up Lin Aoxue, placed her on the chair beside them, then pointed his assault rifle at the scarred man's forehead and said: \"Get down, hands on your head, squat on the ground!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out a hand grenade and pulled the pin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action was extremely threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man was scared out of his wits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab the ticket, but he didn't expect to be blocked in the restroom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't kill me... please don't kill me...\" the scarred man shouted while trembling, then immediately put his hands on his head and squatted on the ground, cowardly to the extreme!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he also exposed his own weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you, daring to meddle in our business!\" the scarred man roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are we? Hehe, you don't even recognize us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masks of these two men in black had been torn off, revealing ferocious faces; they were members of the Death Temple's law enforcement team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, on the chests of these two men hung red cloth strips with two words written on them: \"Adjudicator\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the symbol of the Death Temple's law enforcement team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark world, these two words were a symbolic title, representing the power and majesty of the Death Temple; even ordinary super big shots had to be respectful when they saw them, absolutely not daring to offend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the guy in front of them didn't recognize this term at all! His intelligence and perspective were destined to never reach such a level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't recognize you, who are you?\" the scarred man said: \"This is Ninghai, not the Death Temple's territory! You dare to shoot at me; this is not according to the rules, otherwise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise what? I'd like to see, can you turn the world upside down today?\" The eyes of this adjudicator flickered with a strong, ruthless light, and he said: \"Take him away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" The two companions agreed, then unceremoniously pressed the scarred man to the ground, fists and feet flying together, pitter-patter! They beat the latter until he wailed endlessly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Lin Aoxue did not stop them, and didn't even take a second look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Ximen Wudi had already given her enough sense of security, so although Lin Aoxue was worried at this moment, she didn't actually have much anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lin Aoxue believed that as long as Ximen Wudi appeared, she would not fall into danger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop hitting me, I beg you, stop hitting me!\" the scarred man wailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was already bruised and swollen; it was estimated that if he took another two minutes of beating, he would be completely knocked unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This adjudicator could be considered to have a sense of proportion, not beating him to death; otherwise, this guy would probably have become a corpse by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take him away,\" the adjudicator said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His companion then dragged the struggling, snot-and-tears-flowing scarred man out of the cabin door and stuffed him into the back row of a black sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had been holding it in for a long time in the restroom, this guy kept retching non-stop along the way, as if he were about to vomit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Aoxue stood on the spot, watching all this quietly, without any worries.\u003C\u002Fp>",1697,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z","2026-06-18T03:52:24.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f1eb85f4e58844fb34eda47829f621cd9358d8ba4a4879050adeaca699063665","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1340","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1338",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
