Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home
Chapter 417 - 37 Escape

Chapter 417: Chapter 37 Escape

Gu Xiaoxi’s ship arrived at the International Alliance on the third morning.

At the port, there were thirty soldiers in neat military uniforms waiting to greet her. They also prepared a vehicle for escorting Gu Feng.

By the time she disembarked, Gu Feng was still unconscious. Of course, once Gu Xiaoxi handed him over to the International Alliance, it was no longer her concern.

This trip to Dream Island had brought her rich rewards as well. A crystal imbued with a cultivation technique, avenged her master, and made a good friend like Sharon.

Ai Xiang auctioned off a life-saving herb known as Wind Spirit Grass for a high price. It was said that one plant could only produce two pills, but their effect could save a life at a critical moment. The price, of course, was astronomical, at six billion yuan.

But if it really could save a life, six billion was worth it.

He said the medicine was bought for Young Master Quan. When Gu Xiaoxi asked him why he needed it,

Ai Xiang just smiled and said, "Casualties are unavoidable for soldiers on the battlefield. I’m simply following orders."

There was nothing wrong with his words, and Gu Xiaoxi didn’t think too much about it.

Having a spare life-saving herb was certainly good. Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said to Ai Xiang, "After you make it into pills, give it to me; nurturing it with spiritual energy will enhance its effect."

They were already on their way back to City A while saying this.

The journey had taken them out for more than ten days.

At the International Alliance, not only had Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang made an appearance, but they also met many people and were fortunate enough to receive a reward of one hundred thousand yuan.

Of course, when Gu Feng awoke and found himself locked in the major prison of the International Alliance, he felt as if he were dreaming.

It took a long time for him to realize this dream was inescapable and accept that it was reality.

Why had he been captured?

When he recalled the circumstances at the time, he was seething with rage. To think, he, with great powers, had been taken down by two of Gu Xiaoxi’s smoke grenades.

How could he be content with this?

Man Gu was hailed as the new Pharaoh of Egypt, becoming the youngest Pharaoh in history at twenty-four. After his ascension, he gathered numerous pieces of evidence of Gu Feng’s crimes and handed them to the International Alliance, and Gu Feng was ultimately sentenced to death.

A man imbued with evil witchcraft, who wreaked havoc on lives without remorse—keeping such a person alive would only bring chaos and unrest to society.

Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang, carrying their suitcases, stepped off the plane and felt that the weather in City A was still the best.

Under the bright sunlight, familiar faces everywhere, the weather of the motherland and those familiar black eyes made them feel nostalgic.

As Gu Xiaoxi pushed her suitcase along with Ai Xiang and walked out of the VIP passage, at the end of the road, she saw the man in a black suit, his figure strong like a pine, with a pair of deep eyes now filled with warm smiles.

When he looked at her, all the coldness in his eyes turned into endless tenderness.

Standing at the entrance to the passage, Gu Xiaoxi felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken, and she found herself struggling to move her feet.

No matter how far she traveled, as long as she knew he was thinking of her, she would complete her mission as quickly as possible and then return to his side.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi in a daze, Ai Xiang pushed her from behind, "Don’t block the entrance!"

Gu Xiaoxi immediately beamed with warm smiles, dropped her suitcase, and ran towards Young Master Quan.

From afar, Young Master Quan opened his arms to her.

As she approached, he extended his hand, his strong arm enveloping her into his embrace.

"My darling, you’re finally back." Quan Shaoqing felt that only by holding her did he truly possess her. Her soft body, her fragrant hair, her rosy lips—all drove him crazy with desire.

The girl had been gone for ten days. To him, it felt as long as ten years.

This separation across countries was different from being apart while he was at the military base.

At the base, he knew she wouldn’t be in danger.

Abroad, outside of the gates, he worried about her every moment, unable to eat or sleep properly.

Gu Xiaoxi’s smile brightened, especially when she smelled the unique mint fragrance in his embrace, which made her feel overwhelming happiness.

"I’ve made you worry." She rubbed her head against his chest and then looked up at his gaunt profile, unable to resist feeling a twinge of heartache, "Why do I feel like every time we part, you lose weight?"

"Because I miss you too much. I can’t eat well; I can’t sleep! Just make it up to me, and maybe I’ll recover by tomorrow," Quan Shaoqing caressed her hair indifferently, looking utterly affectionate. Love rippled in his heart and, regardless of the busy surroundings, he leaned down and gently pecked her red lips.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks turned crimson immediately, feeling utterly embarrassed as everyone around stared at them, but internally she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Ai Xiang, dragging the suitcase, came over

Gu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly, "It’s good that you’re not jealous! He’s a nice brother, you know!"

"Having one more person who cares about you is no big deal. But as for me, you need only one person to care about you, and that’s enough." Quan Shaoqing snorted coldly, as if he couldn’t possibly not be jealous.

Gu Xiaoxi glared at him, speechless.

Quan Shaoqing took Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, and together they walked towards the car parked not far away.

There, Lin Mi was driving; he had been waiting by the roadside for some time.

"Miss Gu, congratulations on completing your mission successfully!" Lin Mi said to Gu Xiaoxi with a warm smile.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, a glint of sharpness in her eyes as she said, "Thank you!"

Afterward, she looked at Quan Shaoqing and asked, "How did I handle Gu Feng’s matter?"

Quan Shaoqing patted her head and opened the car door for her, praising her, "Very well! The International Alliance has sent a letter of commendation. I’m planning to promote you again."

"Really?" Gu Xiaoxi exclaimed with delight.

"Of course, it’s true! It’s an honor!" Lin Mi couldn’t help interjecting from the side.

Quan Shaoqing shot him a look, "Just focus on driving your car!"

He was talking to his wife, what was he butting in for?

Lin Mi’s mouth twitched, he couldn’t help himself, he just wanted to share in Gu Xiaoxi’s joy.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze fell on Quan Shaoqing’s face, full of concern as she said, "In just ten days, I’ve seen you lose a lot of weight."

The more she looked, the more her heart ached.

His features became more sculpted and angular due to the weight loss, and below his sharp eyebrows, his eyes appeared more piercing and ruthless.

But when facing her, there was only tenderness inside them.

Quan Shaoqing pulled Gu Xiaoxi into his embrace and sighed, "I’m fine! As long as you can return safely, what’s a little weight loss to me?"

Gu Xiaoxi wrapped her arms around his neck, happy to be clinging to him in his embrace, enjoying his meticulous care. She wished to be with him like this forever, never to part.

Lin Mi looked at the two of them tightly embracing each other. It was a very ordinary scene, yet it gave off a sweet and wonderful feeling.

No matter how one looked at it, the two of them were such a perfect match.

The Gu Xiaoxi of the past was playful, innocent, acted swiftly, and never considered the consequences.

But the current Gu Xiaoxi had clearly matured.

She could think from Quan Shaoqing’s perspective, ponder over problems, and face matters from her own position.

She remembered the soldier’s promise and mission, which led her to make the right choices on the path of a soldier.

Because, in the matter regarding Gu Feng, she indeed handled it very well. She took revenge in the right way!

*

No sooner had Gu Xiaoxi returned home than the International Alliance sent her a message.

"Miss Gu, at seven o’clock this morning, Gu Feng escaped from his cell. Please ensure your own safety."

When Gu Xiaoxi opened the computer and saw this message, her mind went blank instantly.

How could Gu Feng escape?

The prison of the International Alliance was heavily guarded, not even a mosquito could get in, and now Gu Feng had escaped.

His abilities were so strong, capturing him again would not be so easy.

"How could this happen?" Quan Shaoqing, seeing the email on the computer, furrowed his brow.

He clasped Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, also in disbelief.

Escaping from the prison of the International Alliance, even if one could fly or burrow, would be impossible.

"Gu Feng is very powerful, I can’t even beat him. Shaoqing, I think we need to strengthen our defenses. He’ll most want revenge on me after his escape," said Gu Xiaoxi, her heart fluttering with anxiety. She gripped Quan Shaoqing’s large hand tightly, her heart pounding without reason.

Quan Shaoqing held her from behind, his solid chest against her back, and promised softly in her ear, "Don’t worry, I will protect you. For safety’s sake, I’ll take you back to the base tomorrow."

"What about Ai Xiang? She helped me capture Gu Feng. And Gu Feng is the type to hold grudges; last time, it was he who killed my mentor. He didn’t just kill my mentor, but even the servants in his household weren’t spared," Gu Xiaoxi expressed with utmost distress.

Now that Gu Feng had escaped, even though he was no longer the Pharaoh of Egypt with ultimate power,

But his practice of Evil Arts was against nature; without some real skills, one couldn’t deal with him.

Moreover, the batch of special forces that were currently being selected didn’t have her skills. Even if they all teamed up, they wouldn’t be able to handle Gu Feng.
