Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Liu Ming had just hung up the phone, and the grim look on his face had not yet completely faded.

"Squeak—!"

The heavy, black lacquered wooden door of the courtyard was suddenly kicked open, groaning in pain.

Immediately afterward, a dashing figure in camouflage and a high ponytail swept into the courtyard like a whirlwind. The two gold stars on her shoulders gleamed in the sunlight, but her stunningly beautiful face was filled with unreasonable arrogance and anger.

It was none other than Lin Xiaoxiao, the youngest female general in the military and the most beloved granddaughter of the old man.

"Liu Ming! Come out here!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stood in the middle of the courtyard with her hands on her hips, her big eyes wide like copper bells, glaring angrily at Liu Ming, who had just walked out from the corner.

Hearing the commotion, Xi Wanqing and Nangong Yao, who were in the kitchen, came out one after another. Seeing this, the two women exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of anticipation. They had experienced this little devil's temper firsthand.

"Xiaoxiao? What brings you here?" Liu Ming rubbed his slightly swollen temples. His mind was still preoccupied with the contents of that top-secret telegram, and he had no mood to deal with this little devil.

"Why can't I come?"

Lin Xiaoxiao rushed forward angrily, pointing at Xi Wanqing and Nangong Yao standing behind Liu Ming, her voice suddenly rising eight octaves.

"You, Liu Ming! My grandfather treats you like his own grandson, and I always speak well of you in the military region! And what do you do? Hide away in this courtyard house, keeping two mistresses hidden away, huh?

"What do you take me for?"

She spoke with such confidence and conviction, and coupled with her imposing military uniform, she looked exactly like a wife catching her husband cheating.

Liu Ming was both amused and exasperated. This girl grew up in a military camp and had a straightforward personality, with clear likes and dislikes. Back when they were training at "Dragon Fang," she would pester him every day, and even the fat cook in the mess hall could see through her little scheme.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Ming put on a stern face, adopting the demeanor she used when she was an instructor. "They're here to discuss work."

"Talking about work? Talking about work while wearing a man's shirt?" Lin Xiaoxiao pointed at Xi Wanqing, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. "Liu Ming, don't try to fool me like I'm a three-year-old! I don't care, since you can support two people at home, one more won't make a difference!"

"Pfft!"

Nangong Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing. She walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao, looking the female general up and down with interest, and teased, "Oh my, Miss Lin, are you here to 'force the palace'? But you see, our rules here are very strict. If you want to get in, you have to queue up first."

"Stand in line my ass!"

Lin Xiaoxiao had a fiery temper and couldn't stand this kind of provocation. She turned around abruptly, staring intently at Liu Ming, her eyes burning with fierce determination.

"Liu Ming! Let's make a bet!"

"What kind of bet?" Liu Ming sighed helplessly.

"A martial arts contest!"

Lin Xiaoxiao kicked a small pebble away and said with great bravado.

"Right here! If you can beat me, I, Lin Xiaoxiao, will turn around and leave, and I'll never bother you again! If you lose... hmph, then you'll have to obediently listen to me, kick both of them out, and come back to the Lin family compound with me!"

"What's this called? A martial arts contest to find a husband?" Nangong Yao covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xi Wanqing frowned slightly. Although she knew Liu Ming was skilled, Lin Xiaoxiao was, after all, the commander of the military's most elite special forces brigade, and she had real martial arts skills.

"I'm busy."

Liu Ming refused without hesitation, "I have important tasks to complete and don't have time to play house with you."

Are you scared?

Lin Xiaoxiao sneered, took off her camouflage jacket, revealing a tight black tactical vest underneath, showcasing her perfect curves honed over the years.

"The mighty 'Shura' doesn't even have the courage to accept a challenge? You have no choice but to fight!"

Before the words were even finished!

Lin Xiaoxiao made a move!

She moved with lightning speed, her toes slamming off the blue bricks, and she shot towards Liu Ming like an arrow released from a bow!

A fierce whip kick, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, went straight for Liu Ming's side of the neck!

This kick was swift, precise, and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever. She not only wanted to win, but also to force Liu Ming to unleash her full strength.

"Nonsense."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Liu Ming's eyes, but her body reacted instinctively.

Instead of retreating, he advanced.

Just as that straight, long leg was about to strike his neck, Liu Ming suddenly turned to the side, and his left hand gripped Lin Xiaoxiao's ankle with pincers as precisely as an iron clamp!

"Snapped!"

A muffled thud.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt as if she had kicked a steel plate. Not only did she fail to budge Liu Ming at all, but she was also left feeling numb from the shock.

But she was, after all, a battle-hardened special operations commander. Missing her first strike, she quickly used the momentum to twist her body in mid-air, her other leg striking Liu Ming's chest like a venomous snake.

A series of kicks!

Liu Ming shook his head slightly. Although this girl's moves were fierce, she was still too inexperienced in front of him, a true "god of death."

With a gentle flick of his right hand, he easily deflected Lin Xiaoxiao's attack. At the same time, he released his left hand from her ankle and slid forward half a step like a ghost, directly cutting into Lin Xiaoxiao's inner gate!

"You're too slow."

Liu Ming's deep voice rang in Lin Xiaoxiao's ear.

next second!

Liu Ming placed his right hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder and his left hand on her waist, combining his waist and hips into one, and suddenly exerted force!

"what!"

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a sudden dizziness, and instantly lost her balance, being thrown into the air by an irresistible force!

An absolutely perfect, flawless... over-the-shoulder throw!

But Liu Ming did not kill him.

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to hit the ground, Liu Ming pulled her right hand sharply, dissipating most of the force.

"Bang!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was firmly pressed down onto a cushioned rattan chair.

Liu Ming's hand gently locked around her throat.

Victory or defeat can be decided in the blink of an eye.

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Nangong Yao and Xi Wanqing were dumbfounded. They knew Liu Ming was strong, but they never expected that he could win so easily against this renowned female general in the military.

Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the rattan chair, panting heavily. She looked at the hand hanging above her throat, then at Liu Ming's calm, expressionless face.

The original arrogance and defiance in those big eyes gradually faded away.

Instead, there was an indescribable, almost fanatical... worship.

"I lost."

She didn't struggle or try to cheat; instead, she readily admitted defeat.

"Can you stop now?" Liu Ming let go of her hand, stood up straight, and straightened her clothes.

"Can't."

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly jumped up from the rattan chair, grabbed Liu Ming's arm, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes shone like stars in the sky.

"Master! That move you just made was so cool! I've decided, I'm not going to hold the martial arts contest to find a husband!"

Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"I want to become your apprentice! I want to learn this move! You can't get rid of me!"

Lin Xiaoxiao clung to Liu Ming shamelessly, like a koala that had found its owner.

Liu Ming looked at this persistent pest and felt a headache coming on. He turned to look at Xi Wanqing and Nangong Yao, his eyes full of pleading for help.

The two women simply smiled at each other.

In this perilous capital city, having a little devil with a strong military background by Liu Ming's side is definitely her strongest trump card.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Liu Ming pushed Lin Xiaoxiao away, her expression becoming more serious than ever before.

He glanced at the red phone he had just used to answer the call, and took a deep breath.

"Get ready, Xiaoxiao, go get the car."

"We have a mission, and it's a deadly mission."
