I sit plotting their death.

AHHHH!!!

A scream rang out. The man fell to the ground, shock evident in his face. This woman....Her strength was just too much. He did not expect her fighting techniques to be good too. She effortlessly escaped from his grip and broke his wrist in the process too.

Qi Mingxia let out a cold laugh. "Your arrival is very opportune. I have a message to deliver as well."

And before the man could react, CRACK!

The man's head hit the floor of the parking lot limply. He was dead. Qi Mingxia snapped his neck in one swift motion. Her gaze was extremely dark. What a substandard fighter. They were really looking down on her. This message should have the desired effect.

Qi Mingxia took out her phone and sent a signal. Few seconds later, several men in black clothes with guns came to her. The leader of the group bowed to Qi Mingxia. Qi Mingxia nodded. "You know what to do."

The leader nodded and signaled his men to step forward. The body of the attacker was dragged away from the sight and the men Qi Mingxia summoned retreated too, after bowing to her. These men were Qi Mingxia's hidden guards. They were extremely capable and kept guard from afar.

Qi Mingxia disliked keeping guards near and around her. But since her safety was important too, she simply employed some hidden guards to protect her. The rest she could handle herself. She was an extraordinary fighter and skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well as handling guns of different types.

Qi Mingxia got into her car and drove out of the parking lot of the bar. Although the man could do nothing to her, his appearance was an indication that what she had planned for so long was finally in motion. She has been plotting their death for so long. And now, it was time.

Very soon, the direction of the wind would change and her ship of vengeance would sail.

*******

In a mansion in Shanghai.

This mansion reeked of old money. Whoever would see it would say that such a home could only belong to a family which has been enjoying money and power for generations now. From the architectural style, to the design of the interiors to the variety of exotic dishes now laid out on the dining table, it could even be called a palace.

A man in his early sixties sat at the head of the table. Another woman in her mid-fifties to his right. A man, about thirty years old, to his left. These people are Qi Feng, Gu Ming and Qi Zixin respectively. Qi Feng is the current head of the Qi family and lives in this ancestral Qi family home with his wife and son. Currently, the atmosphere is quite tense at the dining table.

"Father, what should we do about Qi Mingxia? She actually dared to steal our construction project. We could have established such good relations with the government authorities with this project. That woman actually dared to compete with us!" Qi Zixin said indignantly. Qi Zixin could not see eye to eye with Qi Mingxia. He hated her to the core.

Qi Feng sent a sharp glare towards Qi Zixin. "You, do not need to do anything about anything. If you can, then just stay out of trouble and make some good relations with the people of the company. They think of you nothing but a fool with no business acumen whatsoever."

Qi Zixin wanted to retort but kept silent when he received a look from his mother Gu Ming. Gu Ming carefully spoke up. "So are we just going to let it go and not teach her a lesson?" Qi Feng wiped his lips having finished his dinner. "Who said we are not going to do anything? I have already sent a man of mine, a good fighter to give her a nice beating. A swollen face and a few broken bones would serve as a good warning to never cross the Qi Corporation ever again."

Gu Ming smiled with satisfaction. Qi Zixin too let out a chuckle.

"Ah! If only I could see her in that condition." Qi Zixin said. Suddenly sensing Qi Feng's dark gaze, he quickly added, "But of course, I won't go see her or do anything stupid as such. I remember your order to never cross paths with Qi Mingxia again. Don't worry father, I will always obey your orders."

Gu Ming chipped in too. "Yes! Yes! Our Zixin is very well-behaved and listens to your advice very well. He won't do anything that you have barred him from doing,"

"Moreover" Qi Feng said. "That company that Qi Mingxia brought up is nowhere near the great Qi Corporation. We'll just treat this as charity, keeping in consideration our relations. There will be many more chances to improve relations with the government authorities. We need not take that company too seriously."

"Yes, Father." Qi Zixin said.

As they were engaged in this conversation, they did not realize that the housekeeper had arrived looking really nervous. He was sweating profusely and looked like he wanted to say something. Finally, after mustering some courage, he called out.

"M-Master Qi"
