The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

In the heavily guarded, tree-lined inner palace, a simple yet imposing meeting room exudes an invisible pressure, where the air is so heavy it seems to have stopped flowing.

The smoke swirled slowly in the air, but it could not dispel the heaviness and anxiety that permeated the brows of every participant.

Among those present was a familiar face who frequently appeared on the evening news, as well as several military commanders with three gold stars on their shoulders and an aura as steady as mountains.

Before them lay several documents marked "Top Secret," their urgency so palpable it was almost suffocating.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Li Weiguo, who had just finished giving an emergency report.

The head of state leaned forward slightly, his insightful eyes flashing with a sharp, piercing light, and he spoke slowly.

His voice was steady, yet carried a barely perceptible hint of urgency:

"Comrade Weiguo, regarding your report just now... about 'Zero' and his team's willingness to serve the country, are you sure this is his true intention, and not just a momentary impulse or a temporary expedient?"

"Confirmed! Commander, I'm 100% certain!"

Li Weiguo stood ramrod straight, his voice resolute and firm.

This was not only his intention, but also a choice he made after careful consideration.

He also specifically mentioned that the vast majority of his team members are Chinese, and returning to their roots and serving their country is a shared wish deep in their hearts.

He also hopes to use this method to secure official national recognition and future prospects for his team members.

"Good! Good! Good!" General Zhang, who was sitting to the side, slammed his hand on the table excitedly and said "good" three times in a row. His voice was like a bell and his face was flushed with excitement.

That's great! There's always a way out! If Zero and his team are willing to get involved, given their skills honed in the complex environment overseas and their unique resources...

Perhaps... a turning point can be seen in these toughest challenges right now.

"Commander!" Li Weiguo immediately seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and asked for instructions in an urgent tone.

The situation is urgent, and I request to set off immediately to pick up Comrade Zeng Long from Beijing Qing University!

Let him hear a detailed briefing on these tasks in person!

His global intelligence network, his exceptional operational thinking, and his unconventional strategic command capabilities...

It might bring us unexpected breakthroughs and solutions.

The head of state quickly exchanged glances with the other leaders, and without any hesitation, immediately made a decision:

"Agreed! Go pick them up immediately! We'll wait here! All other issues are on hold; let's focus all our efforts on resolving these three urgent matters that concern the national interest!"

"Yes, sir!" Li Weiguo stood up abruptly, gave a standard and powerful military salute, and strode out of the conference room.

His steps were quick and powerful, and his heart burned with an unprecedented flame of hope.

He knew that what he was going to retrieve might be a peerless blade that could cut through all the current predicaments.

Meanwhile, at Jingqing University, dormitory 307.

The atmosphere was completely different from the previous boasting and joking.

Zhu Yiqun was still immersed in the "God of War" filter of the evening, and was gesturing animatedly and spittle flying as he described how the famous Zeng Long defeated his enemy in one move.

Du Ziteng and Hao Shuai echoed wildly from the side, their eyes filled with admiration.

Zeng Long, the protagonist who was being praised, simply sat quietly at his desk with no expression on his face, as if they were talking about someone else.

Suddenly! With a loud "bang!", the dormitory door was violently pushed open!

A middle-aged man in a police uniform with a stern expression was the first to step into the dormitory.

His eyes were sharp and cold like a hawk's, quickly scanning the surroundings before instantly locking onto the young man whose extraordinary aura was undeniable even while sitting quietly.

"Excuse me, who is Zeng Long?" he asked, his voice businesslike and authoritative.

But his gaze was already fixed on Zeng Long. He had already clearly memorized this face from the information provided behind the scenes.

Zeng Long slowly raised his head, his expression calm and undisturbed, his eyes as deep as an ancient well.

"That's me. Excuse me, officer, what can I do for you?"

"I am the deputy captain of the Beijing Criminal Investigation Detachment, police badge number XXXX."

The middle-aged policeman identified himself, his tone suddenly becoming harsher, each word like a cold iron bead hitting the ground.

You are now suspected of participating in a fight tonight at a late-night food street near Beijing University of Science and Technology.

He also instigated others to commit a vicious knife attack, resulting in one person being seriously injured. The circumstances were extremely serious and the social impact was extremely negative!

In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, you are hereby arrested.

The air in the dormitory instantly froze!

The smiles on the faces of Zhu Yiqun, Du Ziteng, and Hao Pang froze instantly, replaced by immense anger and disbelief.

"What?!" Zhu Yiqun was the first to jump up, his face flushed red. "You guys must have made a mistake."

It was clearly those thugs who started the fight! They were deliberately trying to cause trouble and extort money! Zeng Long was only forced to fight back to protect us!

We are all witnesses! So many classmates and passersby could testify at the time! How did it become that he instigated the assault?

Are you no longer the people's police?

Du Ziteng also clenched his fists, his muscles tensing:

"Do you have any evidence? How can you arrest people like this!" Hao Shuai was both anxious and angry: "That's right! You can't wrong an innocent person."

The vice-captain remained completely unfazed by the students' questions.

Instead, it carried a hint of cold mockery:

Evidence? We'll investigate, of course!

Do you have any evidence to prove that he did not instruct others?

Is there any evidence to prove that the other party deliberately provoked the trouble and that you are completely without fault?

Please do not obstruct us from performing our official duties, otherwise you will be held accountable for obstructing official business.

These forceful and clearly biased words instantly silenced the three hot-blooded students.

After all, they were just students who hadn't experienced the complexities of society. Faced with this kind of procedural power, they were speechless, angry and anxious, but didn't know how to refute it.

"Zeng Long, please come with us." The deputy captain ignored the others, took out a pair of gleaming, cold handcuffs from his waist, and was about to step forward.

At that very moment! Zeng Long, who had been silent all along, suddenly changed his aura!

A palpable, chilling killing intent instantly spread out! The temperature in the dormitory seemed to drop ten degrees!

He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which usually seemed lazy and even a little smiling, were now like two poisoned ice blades.

His gaze was fixed intently on the vice-captain's face.

"I advise you," Zeng Long's voice was terrifyingly low, each word carrying a chilling aura and an undeniable deterrent.

It's best to put that thing away.

I am now simply cooperating with you to go back and accept the investigation and questioning.

Until my lawyer arrives and until I am formally convicted, I am not your prisoner.

The deputy captain and the young police officer who came in with him were suddenly and terrified by this overwhelming aura!

They felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast that was ready to devour them, and their breathing suddenly became difficult, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat!

The hand reaching for the handcuffs froze in mid-air, and for a moment dared not move forward.

Upon seeing this, the accompanying school leaders quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, sweat beading on their foreheads.

Officer, officer! Calm down!

Zeng Long is, after all, a student at our school. The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet, and it would be really bad to use restraints on him!

This will also damage the school's reputation. What do you think... perhaps we should prioritize cooperating with the investigation?

The deputy captain took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, glared fiercely at Zeng Long, and finally reluctantly put away the handcuffs.

He was also aware that the so-called "instruction" evidence was not direct, and being too forceful would only give others grounds for criticism.

"Let's go!" he snapped irritably.

Zeng Long stood up expressionlessly and gave his three anxious roommates a reassuring look.

Then, surrounded by a group of police officers, he walked out of the dormitory building and got into the police car with its glaring red and blue lights flashing.

The police car sped away from Jingqing University, disappearing into the cold night.

At that moment, Li Weiguo's car was sounding a special alarm.

Like a black lightning bolt, it sped out of the palace and raced wildly toward Beijing University.

Inside the car, Li Weiguo's face was ashen, his anxiety burning like oil on a raging fire.

He grabbed the encrypted phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected almost instantly.

"What's the situation over there now?!" Li Weiguo's voice was so urgent it almost changed.

A clear and rapid report came through the receiver:

"Minister! Zeng Long has been taken into custody! It's a car from the Beijing Criminal Investigation Detachment, and the person leading the team is their deputy captain, Wang..."

"The deputy captain of the criminal investigation team?"

Li Weiguo abruptly interrupted, his voice instantly turning icy cold, even carrying a hint of sinister laughter.

Haha! Even the vice-captain has personally come?

For a so-called "student fight case" that is still under investigation?

Good! Very good! It seems the other party... is really anxious! They can't wait to solidify the case.

The flame of hope that had been ignited in his heart by the high-level meeting.

The anger and worry of that moment intertwined, burning into an indescribable, extremely exhilarating yet fiercely murderous complex emotion.

Zeng Long's entry into the game and the grievances he is currently suffering seem to be more than just a crisis.

It's more like a peerless blade forced into a dead end, yet capable of cutting through all the fog and conspiracies.

The wheels were grinding wildly against the road surface.

Outside the car, the night was deep and the sound of invisible thunder could be heard.

A high-speed chase involving justice, conspiracy, and national interests has begun.
