"A mercenary abroad? That's really dangerous, you're lucky to have survived."
Being a mercenary abroad is far more dangerous than being in the military at home. The five people couldn't help but look at Luo Chao with newfound respect. Indeed, this brother-in-law of theirs was someone who kept his skills hidden.
And to have subdued them when they were drunk required not only skill but undeniable strength.
Chen Xiaoqi was also stunned. Originally thinking Luo Chao was just a farmer from the mountains, she was surprised by his past experiences.
No wonder Uncle Yuan asked him to be Sister Yuanyuan's bodyguard; it seems he really does have some skills.
Once the car entered the military district, it drove straight up to a villa and stopped. Luo Chao glanced around; anyone who could own a villa here surely wasn't ordinary, Chen Xiaoqi's family included.
As soon as the car stopped, several soldiers carried the liquor away. Luo Chao had a look of exasperation; were these five "Black Tornado" guys inviting him for his sister or for the liquor?
"The liquor is just for enjoyment, nothing else, absolutely nothing else."
Chen Da's words made Luo Chao roll his eyes. This was nonsense; during the journey, Chen Da had sneaked more looks at the liquor than he did at Luo Chao.
Seeing his brother-in-law's disbelief, Chen Da felt a bit awkward and motioned for Luo Chao to go inside.
The decoration inside the villa was simple and practical, military-style. But it was spacious, which Luo Chao liked very much.
"Hello, Uncle, Aunt, sir." Seeing the people at the table, Luo Chao greeted them earnestly. After all, he was here to act as Chen Xiaoqi's boyfriend; he had to show some courtesy.
"You're Jiang Yuanyuan's bodyguard, aren't you? How about quitting and following my daughter instead?" The old man asked seriously.
Luo Chao shook his head, "It's an assignment from my master. I can't give it up halfway." Luo Chao replied earnestly.
This answer shocked everyone; it was the first time someone dared to defy the old man. He was going to get angry.
"Really can't?"
"Can't means can't. You know that abandoning tasks isn't allowed." Luo Chao remained calm as if he hadn't noticed the old man's demeanor.
The atmosphere became a bit tense. Just as everyone anticipated a big issue, the old man smiled.
"He's indeed an impressive young man; I feel at ease leaving my granddaughter with you. Did you bring the liquor? I heard it's good. If it doesn't suit my taste, don't blame me for not agreeing to your matters."
Liquor again? Luo Chao was drenched in sweat. This family was truly unique, utterly obsessed with drinking.
Luo Chao and Chen Xiaoqi sat down. Such extraordinary family members left the two feeling helpless.
However, Chen Xiaoqi already anticipated this result and smiled slightly, sitting close to Luo Chao.
"Xiaoqi, isn't this inappropriate?" Xiaoqi's mother quickly said. Sitting so close so soon wasn't right.
"Just let them be. They're young, it's good to be closer." The old man laughed. "This liquor really tastes great."
"I heard you're a former mercenary? How's your fighting skills? Maybe you'll get a chance to spar later." Despite being enamored by the liquor, the old man hadn't forgotten about sparring.
Spar? The five were stunned. If they fought Luo Chao one-on-one, they'd surely get beaten.
"Xiaoqi's back?"
A familiar voice rang out in the house.
"Xiaolei brother? Why are you home today?" Seeing the newcomer, Chen Xiaoqi was taken aback. Wasn't this the Xiaolei she grew up with?
"And who is this?" Chen Xiaolei was the son of Chen Xiaoqi's father's comrade, and they had been close since childhood until Xiaolei joined the special forces, and Xiaoqi moved here with her father.
"This is Xiaoqi's boyfriend. I heard he used to be a mercenary." Chen Da said with a smile, his eyes full of regret. If not for Luo Chao, the only man Xiaoqi might marry was Xiaolei.
"A mercenary? What's an international executioner doing here?" The man obviously didn't like the idea of mercenaries.
Such people are hot-tempered and quick to kill; they're the scum of society. But his uncle planned to marry his woman to such a man; it made no sense at all.
"Sit down." Chen Xiaoqi's grandfather frowned slightly; this kid was really rude.
Just because that's what he thought, he shouldn't have said it out loud.
"Grandfather, you can't let Xiaoqi marry a man like this..."
"Sit down. Didn't you hear me, or do you need your grandfather to teach you some manners?" The old man glared at Chen Xiaolei.
Chen Xiaolei paused, realizing his impatience had been excessive. But in his heart, there was only Chen Xiaoqi.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was wrong." Chen Xiaolei casually found a seat. Chen Da poured him a glass of liquor, urging him to follow the rules.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, Grandpa." Chen Xiaolei bowed with the glass in hand.
"There's another person you should apologize to." Chen Xiaoqi's grandfather subtly indicated.
"Bro, I was overly emotional earlier, please forgive me." Chen Xiaolei turned to Luo Chao and said.
"It's alright, it's human nature. I understand, I understand. It's just that mercenaries live life on the edge; no one with a peaceful life would choose such a path."
After a sip of liquor, the man was stunned; he had never tasted such good liquor before.
"How is it, tastes good, right?" The old man said proudly.
"It's excellent, but where did you buy this, Grandpa? I need to get some too." Chen Xiaolei said excitedly.
This liquor was so good he would choose it even if it meant losing half his life span.
"This liquor isn't for sale; it's home-brewed by the person you looked down on earlier." Chen Xiaoqi's grandfather said with a smile.
Home-brewed? And by this young man? It was unbelievable. No wonder he had the support of his uncle and grandfather; he truly had some skills.
"Really not bad, not bad indeed. He's quite a match for Xiaoqi, but I'm not giving up." Chen Xiaolei said confidently.
