Reborn 1980 Married to the toughest guy in the army

He was actually intentionally avoiding it, mainly because he didn't know how to tell Li Xiuying!

Fortunately, Li Xiuying did not ask her why she pretended to be deaf and dumb.

This girl has a very high emotional intelligence. No matter who it is or what kind of hostility they have towards her, she can always defuse the situation with just a few words.

Her enthusiasm and kindness make it impossible for you to refuse.

If it weren't for knowing her background and what she had done, Qiao Liancheng would probably have really treated her like the little sister next door.

Now that things have come to this point, some things and some words need to be untangled.

So Qiao Liancheng stepped aside to let her in, but instead of closing the door, he went next door and called Zhang Ping over.

Zhang Ping came in.

Li Xiuying wasn't particularly angry. Although the girl's face still showed undisguised disappointment, her smile remained bright.

Everyone has arrived.

The three sat facing each other, with a distance of one meter between them.

Qiao Liancheng said, "We can skip the meal for now, let's get down to business!"

Li Xiuying said, "Can't we wait until after we finish eating to talk about it?"

"Brother Liancheng, why do you always keep people at arm's length?"

Qiao Liancheng remained silent, then looked up again and said solemnly, "Because I'm already married, I have a wife!"

Li Xiuying pursed her lips and said, "Is your wife that Han Mingzhu?"

"She's a wanted criminal in H country now. Are you going to spend the rest of your life hiding from her?"

Qiao Liancheng didn't want to explain anymore. Fine, let her think what she wants.

This little girl is always trying to find something out of him, trying to get something out of every single thing he says.

Qiao Liancheng was afraid that if things continued like this, he would be tricked.

But the little girl's eyes were full of expectation, and her sincere attitude made him unsure how to respond.

Seeing that Qiao Liancheng did not answer the question directly, Li Xiuying did not dwell on it and changed the subject, saying, "I want to ask Brother Liancheng."

What country are you from?

Qiao Liancheng rubbed his temples and looked at Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

This is a really difficult question to answer. If you say he's from country H, then you're maintaining his persona, but it's clearly a lie.

He couldn't explain why he was pretending to be deaf and mute.

He can hear and speak, yet he pretends to be deaf and mute, clearly indicating that he doesn't understand Korean.

In this situation, if he says he is Korean, isn't that pure deception?

The young girl might have been able to tolerate him not telling her the truth before, but if he were to deceive her again now, it would be quite arrogant.

Qiao Liancheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that the girl in front of him, although seemingly weak, was still very young.

But in fact, she is a very intelligent woman, and in some ways she and Jiang Wan are similar.

Having been with Jiang Wan for so long, he knew very well that sincerity was the key to victory.

Since that's the case, he simply admitted, "I am Chinese. The reason I pretended to be deaf and dumb is because I don't understand the language of H country and I was afraid of giving myself away."

"We ended up in Country H by accident."

"We didn't mean to hurt anyone, and we're not spies; we were just looking for someone."

"You can think of us as a small mercenary group from China."

Well, that's not wrong, except they're not mercenaries but special forces!

Qiao Liancheng tried his best to explain the current situation and reduce the conflict between them.

Li Xiuying listened quietly, and after Qiao Liancheng finished his clumsy explanation, Li Xiuying said, "So you're saying you came to H country on business, and you're going back after you're done, right?"

Qiao Liancheng hummed.

Li Xiuying tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, "So what is it that you need to do?"

"Are you looking for that woman named Han Mingzhu?"

"So, your wife is Han Mingzhu?"

These two sentences really surprised Qiao Liancheng. Was this really a 16-year-old girl?

That's absolutely incredible!

He looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why would you think that?"

Did your father teach you that?

Li Xiuying shook her head: "Don't think of my dad as too smart. He's actually quite stupid."

She relaxed a bit, leaning back on the sofa with a smile in her eyes.

"I'm just guessing. I manage the Dark Meridian in the Seven Star Group, but to outsiders, the person in charge of the Dark Meridian is my father, Li Chengze."

"But in fact, only the core members of the family know that I am the one who truly controls the Dark Vein."

“I took over the secret network of the Seven Star Group when I was 12 years old. At that time, my mother had just passed away, and my father was heartbroken and drank himself into a stupor all day long, not caring about anything.”

"I had no choice but to take on this mess, and I've been managing it ever since."

"Actually, I've long suspected that Han Mingzhu is Jiang Wan, the one on the international wanted list."

“But I didn’t expect her to be your wife, and we didn’t expect you to be Chinese.”

Qiao Liancheng keenly noticed the flaw in that statement and asked suspiciously, "You mean 'you guys'? What do you mean by 'you guys'?"

"Is it just you and your father?"

"Or are you referring to the core personnel of your Seven Star Group?"

Li Xiuying held up a finger and shook it, saying, "You have a misconception. The core personnel of the Seven Star Group are not all of our heirs."

"Strictly speaking, there are only three core personnel in the group."

“One is the old man Li Xingchen, one is me, the head of the Dark Clan, and the other is my father.”

“Before my uncle died, he was one of them.”

"So strictly speaking, there are only 4 core personnel in the Seven Star Group."

"My father was actually just a figurehead. If it weren't for my young age, and the fact that he needed to know some of the important decisions in the group so he could act as a shield for me and draw the cannon fodder and firepower, there would have been no way he could have entered the core."

Qiao Liancheng remained silent, but inwardly he was filled with admiration. This girl was truly remarkable!

This girl looks like she's going to be a very difficult one to deal with.

If he turns to the dark side, the Seven Star Group will likely face serious difficulties.

Seeing his silence, Li Xiuying pouted and said, "Am I too bad?"

"You were terrified!"

Qiao Liancheng shook his head: "I don't think that way. Everyone has their own path to walk."

"Good and bad should not be judged by others; as long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."

Li Xiuying's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled again: "I knew you were a good person."

This time, her words seemed more sincere than before.

She seemed to have thought of something and tentatively asked, "Will you go back to H country?"

Qiao Liancheng nodded: "It should."

"Of course, that's on the condition that you don't expose me. If you reveal my identity, I'll die even if I go back."

Li Xiuying quickly shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell."

"I promise I won't tell anyone that you're not deaf or mute."

"I am a good person."

She tried so hard to prove herself, which made Qiao Liancheng both amused and exasperated.
