Dangerous Encounter
To escape her hopeless fate, the slum girl Di Qi daringly seduces the empire’s chief minister, Ilso. The forbidden love between a lowly commoner and a noble royal sparks an intense love war. From this night on, Di Qi dreams every night of the golden-haired, blue-eyed man—His appearance is extraordinarily beautiful, but the dreams about him are definitely not pleasant; each time she wakes up drenched in sweat, trembling and clutching her neck. Those beautiful blue eyes, devoid of warmth and emotion, chilling to the bone. It is this person who coldly says, “cut off that dirty hand.” Whenever she thinks of this, Di Qi can’t help but grab her right arm and tremble.
A gleaming black stretched sports car was parked by the roadside. Di Qi leaned over the wall, unable to take her eyes off the car. She had never seen such a luxurious vehicle, completely mesmerized and stunned. Driving such a sports car must feel like soaring above the clouds. In comparison, the half-worn motorcycle behind her looked mundane and ordinary, making her feel discouraged. She had been staring for a long time and could no longer resist, propping herself up, preparing to jump down from the wall.
Kai grabbed her, nervously saying: “Di Qi, what are you doing?
“It’s nothing, I’ll be right back.” Di Qi patted Kai’s hand, jumped down from the wall, and quickly ran across.
Kai watched Di Qi’s back worriedly, silently praying.
Di Qi was naturally fond of adventure and challenge. Although it made others nervous, this was the Di Qi she loved.
Di Qi ran to the sports car, circling around it, examining this unprecedented marvel with curiosity and amazement.
She loved cars and would always stare at a good car for a long time. Before she could touch the car, she heard a deep and authoritative voice: “What do you want to do to my car?”
She was startled, looking up, shocked by the man’s beauty; the coldness in his eyes made her even more terrified: Oh my god, who is this person?
The man had no patience to wait for her response, saying: “Cut off that dirty hand.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” His attendant drew the sword and raised it to strike.
Di Qi was in shock and couldn’t react. Was she about to lose a hand? Di Qi thought in despair…
At that moment, Kai’s gun fired.
The bullet whizzed past, and the attendant quickly dodged, saving Di Qi’s hand! The bullet hit the car body and fell off, leaving the car intact. Di Qi was actually thinking about how amazing the car was!
“Run!” Kai raised her gun, aiming at the man.
Di Qi came to her senses.
In just a few seconds, she had run to the wall, leaped over it, and quickly disappeared with Kai.
“Your Highness, shall we capture them?” the attendant asked.
“No need, just two little insects,” the man said, turning and getting into the car.
Half a month later, she sneaked into the noble district and saw the supreme face on the electronic screen of a skyscraper, which displayed: “Finance Minister Il Suo Ge today signed the ‘Goethe Empire Outer Space Fifth Stage Research Plan’, with a research budget of one trillion gold yuan…”
She stared at the screen, gritting her teeth.
Even a slum dweller like her knew what that name meant – “Ge” was the surname of the royal family. The royal family were the rulers of this empire, possessing supreme power and status.
Dangerous Encounter
Legend has it that the royal family all possess beauty and pride beyond human limits, and indeed it was so.
Di Qi kept staring at the electronic screen. He was truly a hot-shot big shot. Look at his proud expression and cold eyes, it was truly uncomfortable, and she really wanted to tear apart his arrogance. Whatever she wanted to do, she would do, no matter how crazy it was.
After returning from the noble district, Di Qi went to great lengths to find the guerrilla squad. For people in the slums, the guerrilla squad was a very dangerous existence.
The guerrilla squad hid in the darkness underground, doing many unspeakable things.
Di Qi had once joined their ranks, wanting to do something big, but she quickly discovered that the government was too powerful, and going against them was a dead end. Perhaps the guerrilla squad, composed mainly of fugitives and refugees, could only prove their existence and value in this way, but she didn’t want to waste her life on meaningless things.
She quickly left the guerrilla squad, although they said she was capable and might become their backbone in the future. However, Di Qi would sometimes make deals with them.
She found an intermediary and was brought before the guerrilla squad leader, Sas.
Sas was a rigid person who steadfastly guarded his ancestors’ rebellious cause, following their wishes and fighting to restore the original world. In Di Qi’s eyes, he was an old guy who could only see the past and not the future.
After meeting Sas, Di Qi scattered a handful of silver coins on the table, enough for them to drink for a month.
“I want you to attack someone,” Di Qi said bluntly, not liking the dark and oppressive underground world.
“Who?”
“Il Suo Ge.”
This name made all the squad members drop their playful or cynical expressions, standing up with eyes looking quite terrifying in the dim light.
Sas waved his hand to signal everyone to attack and pressed the trigger of the machine board.
His gun issued a brief command, and a bullet shot out like lightning, accurately landing next to Ilso’s foot, emitting thick smoke. This was a smoke grenade. The bullet could not penetrate Ilso’s body, as he wore an automatic protective device that could warn against gunfire and automatically protect vital areas.
Several figures quickly rushed towards Ilso.
Although engulfed in smoke, Ilso did not flee or panic, but stood calmly. When the attackers approached, he tried to draw a hidden pistol, but dense bullets began to fly. His automatic protective device activated, forming an invisible shield around his body, deflecting the bullets.
When the protective shield was activated, he could not use weapons, and the shield’s duration was limited. He had no escort.
This was the imperial administrative center, where surveillance was omnipresent. When he was attacked, the monitoring system should have responded immediately. These attackers had likely tampered with the surveillance system.
He tightened his jaw, somewhat displeased, not wanting to come into contact with the attackers. However, someone suddenly rushed over, quickly knocking down the attackers, and without his permission, grabbed his hand and ran.
Finding it interesting, Ilso did not immediately reprimand this bold young man, wanting to see what would happen next.
The agile youth stopped in a small alley.
“We’re safe,” the youth said confidently, releasing his hand.
“Oh,” Ilso seemed neither pleased nor grateful for his escape.
The youth felt frustrated by being looked down upon. He had wanted the other party to speak first so he could lead the conversation, but unexpectedly, the other was so arrogant. Helplessly, he had to follow the situation: “Are you alright?”
“Do you think anything could happen to me?”
“Then I’m relieved. The situation just now was truly worrying, fortunately…”
Dangerous Encounter
“Although your actions were entirely unnecessary, as a reward for your courage, you may name your price,” Ilso removed his soiled gloves and casually threw them into a roadside trash bin, his tone polite yet cold.
The proud aristocrat was truly uncomfortable, the youth thought, humbly saying: “I think we could sit down and talk, if you wish to repay me.”
A hint of mockery appeared in Ilso’s eyes: “Even if you are a plebeian, you’d better watch your words and language.”
