Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Unexpected Encounter at the Airport

A group of people arrived at the airport and fetched their flight tickets.

Then they proceeded to queue for the security check.

"Ding~~~"

Suddenly, a warning alarm sounded from the security detector.

"Mister, what metal material have you hidden on your person? Please take it out!"

A female security officer said, addressing a burly man at that moment.

That man was a few places ahead of Lin Dong in line, and Lin Dong’s first impression of him was that he was no ordinary person; he was a Practitioner.

The burly man didn’t say anything, but a stylishly dressed woman by his side spoke in a deep voice:

"The thing inside my boyfriend’s body cannot be taken out!"

The female security officer was taken aback and asked, "Why not?"

"Because, it’s residual shrapnel inside his body!" the woman said, a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

This statement naturally caused quite a stir.

Shrapnel?

The body of that burly man actually contained shrapnel?

What identity did he have?

The female security officer was also startled; she carefully checked the burly man with the detector.

Through the X-ray transmission, as expected, she saw five pieces of shrapnel lingering in the abdomen of the burly man.

Seeing this, she inhaled a breath of cold air.

"What is this man’s identity? His body contains residual shrapnel, yet he looks as if nothing is wrong."

She had been a security officer for so many years and had never encountered someone like this.

At that moment, the burly man offered a faint smile and pulled out some credentials from his pocket.

After seeing those credentials, the female security officer instantly had no more questions.

"My apologies, it turns out you are from the War Department! You can skip the check, please enter!"

After seeing his credentials, the attitude of the female security officer became extremely respectful, offering him a military salute.

The burly man nodded faintly and then walked in with his girlfriend.

This scene also made Qiao Bing let out a surprised and doubtful sound.

"It’s actually her."

Curious, Lin Dong asked Qiao Bing,

"Sister Bing, do you know that man?"

Qiao Bing shook her head. "I don’t know that man, but I know his girlfriend."

"Oh? It seems it’s someone you’re familiar with?" Lin Dong was a bit curious.

"Yes, and quite familiar. Her name is Zhou Na, she’s our neighbor, the playmate of my sister and me when we were kids, we grew up playing together," Qiao Bing explained.

"So it seems you have a good relationship?"

Lin Dong thought that Qiao Bing and she would have a good relationship.

But Qiao Bing shook her head and said,

"The Zhou family, although neighbors with us, how should I put it. Sigh, it’s just that our two families don’t get along well."

"Her grandfather and my grandfather used to work together at the Medicine Supervisor before they retired. They worked together, were allocated adjacent dormitories, and later bought houses next to each other."

"Her grandfather and my grandfather had different personalities and beliefs. At work, the two were always at odds. It was the same in life."

"So although our two families were neighbors when we were kids, as we grew older, the relationship got worse."

"Her grandfather was good at building connections and managed to climb to a higher position than my grandfather before he retired. So he always looked down on my grandpa!"

"Zhou Na is just like him, looking down on our family."

"Of course, that’s not the only reason for our two families to be at odds. The main reason was that Zhou Na had a brother who pursued my sister and then came after me."

"But we both rejected him, and ever since then, the Zhou family has treated us like enemies."

Hearing Qiao Bing’s explanation, Lin Dong had a better understanding of the situation.

"So that’s how it is. Nevertheless, it’s quite a coincidence to run into her here."

"I wouldn’t really say it’s a coincidence. I’m guessing she’s probably coming back to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday. Her grandfather’s birthday is on the same day as my grandpa’s. So every time, they celebrate together."

"And their family’s patriarch always makes a big deal of whatever age he turns in order to parade their connections—something I’ve grown accustomed to."

Qiao Bing said, spreading her hands.

Lin Dong had a deep understanding of this as well.

When he was a child in the countryside, he experienced similar things.

The competitive comparison between two neighbors.

By throwing banquets and visiting friends and relatives during Lunar New Year, they showed off, each trying to demonstrate that they were better connected and more successful than the other.

He had not expected such things to be so common in the city.

While the two were chatting, it was soon their turn to go through the security check.

Thus, they stopped chatting and began the security check.

After everyone passed through security, the group entered the inside of the airport.

When they arrived at the ticket checking entrance to wait, Lin Dong saw that Zhou Na, Qiao Bing’s neighbor sister and her War Department boyfriend were also there.

They were actually on the same flight.

At that moment, Qiao Bing also secretly cursed her bad luck.

She didn’t want to greet Zhou Na, mainly because the relationship between the two families led to Zhou Na having considerable animosity towards Qiao Bing and Qiao Xue’s sisters.

When they were kids, it was fine to play together.

But after growing up, they turned out to be completely different individuals...

With entirely different values.

Moreover, every time Zhou Na encountered the sisters, Qiao Bing and Qiao Xue, she would speak sarcastically and mockingly to them.

Which made Qiao Bing feel helpless.

Qiao Bing had wanted to avoid her.

But as they say, whatever you fear will come to pass.

That Zhou Na had noticed Qiao Bing as well.

And, she was actually walking towards Qiao Bing.

"Look who it is if it isn’t our scholarly Qiao Bing? A high achiever who has read so many books but doesn’t even know how to greet someone she knows? It seems all those years of studying were in vain if you haven’t even learned basic manners,"

Zhou Na said snidely, her arms crossed, standing in front of Qiao Bing.

Qiao Bing’s expression turned sour upon hearing these words.

Lin Dong was also frowning.

Just by that statement, Lin Dong had lost all good feelings towards this person.

"Acquaintance? Don’t falsely claim a connection, I don’t know you!" Lin Dong couldn’t help but say irritably.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Na’s gaze shifted instantly from Qiao Bing to Lin Dong.

Then, narrowing her eyes, she huffed and said, "And who are you?"

She looked back at Qiao Bing and couldn’t resist asking,

"Qiao Bing, this wouldn’t happen to be your boyfriend, would it?"

(Sorry, sorry, something came up at home today so I only managed to write two Chapters until now. I’ll post these first, and then continue writing, staying up late to add a few more Chapters.)
