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

In Beijing, there is a top-tier luxury villa complex called "Yunding Tengyuan".

This place is less like a residential community and more like a private estate occupying a prime location with excellent feng shui. Each of the 39 villas is a work of art, and its residents are all extremely wealthy and powerful; wealth is merely the entry ticket.

The building located at the highest point of the mountain, overlooking all living beings, covers an astonishing 1200 square meters and is complete with a garden, swimming pool, and even a small golf green.

This is the headquarters of the Teng family, a powerful business family, and this property was developed by the Teng family themselves.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Grandpa Teng Tian's study, which was filled with the aroma of tea and decorated in an antique style, was somewhat... unusual.

Teng Ao, the eldest son of the Teng family, a young man who had already made a name for himself in the business world despite his young age and possessed a capable demeanor, was looking at his younger brother Teng Fei with a somewhat mocking gaze:

"Hey Xiaofei, did the sun rise in the west today? At this hour, instead of being your 'full-time guardian knight,' you actually have time to come back and have tea with me and Grandpa? You haven't been home in quite a while."

Tengfei listlessly scratched his meticulously styled short hair and sighed.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Xiaoyu... went home. Since my 'guardian target' isn't on duty, I guess I can only 'unemploy' and go home."

Seated upright in the main seat, the sprightly old Mr. Teng took a sip of tea, and slowly spoke in a loud voice:

"So young, and you come back all sighing and complaining, what kind of behavior is that! What's wrong? Did you have another fight with that girl from the Zeng family?"

"No! Grandpa, we're fine!" Tengfei immediately denied it, but his brows were still furrowed.

I just can't understand... why is Xiaoyu so interested in that Zeng Long?

When she heard that Zeng Long was going to treat her to dinner today, she was so happy... I've never seen her so happy in my life!

She was even more excited than when she received the limited edition sports car I gave her!

So he recounted the whole story in detail.

"Oh?" Teng Ao's interest was piqued upon hearing this, and he leaned forward slightly. "Zeng Long? You mean that Zeng Long from your school, the one who caused such a stir recently?"

"Yeah! You found out too, bro?"

"Heh, it's not just me who knows," Teng Ao said with a meaningful smile. "These days, there are probably very few people in Beijing's social circles who haven't heard of him. He's incredibly popular right now. I was just talking about him with Grandpa before you came back."

"Brother, why are you talking about him with Grandpa? Do you... know him?" Tengfei asked curiously.

"I don't know him." Teng Ao shook his head, but a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "However, he indirectly helped you and me vent our long-suppressed anger!"

"What kind of malice?" Tengfei was taken aback.

"Chen Yifeng was thoroughly humiliated by him this time, and even his grandfather, Old Man Chen, had to swallow his pride and apologize in person. Didn't you know about this?" Teng Ao looked at his younger brother.

"What?!" Tengfei jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide. "Chen Yifeng was behind this?!"

During this period, he was preoccupied with Zeng Lingyu and was indeed slow to realize the undercurrents in the industry.

"What else did you think?" Teng Ao sneered.

"So, Xiaofei, you should thank Zeng Long, both for your own sake and for your own sake. Last time, that kid Chen Yifeng almost forced you to drop out of school. Zeng Long really helped you get revenge."

Tengfei froze for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped his thigh, his face instantly brightening from gloomy to sunny, even showing a hint of admiration:

"Holy crap! This kid... no, Brother Long! He's amazing! He's incredible! From now on, he's my brother Tengfei! My own brother!"

"Ha, you really know how to take advantage of a situation." Teng Ao was amused by his younger brother's quick change of expression.

Brothers? He's a celebrity in the industry now; countless people want to get to know him.

After all, to be able to trample Chen Yifeng and the Chen family to this extent as a newcomer requires a level of power and skill that is not something an ordinary person can possess.

Even I, your brother, can't be this decisive and efficient." He then changed the subject, his tone revealing a hint of businessman's shrewdness.

"Xiaofei, are you familiar with him at school? If you are, find an opportunity to introduce us. I'd also like to get to know this person and make a good connection."

Tengfei immediately deflated and said sheepishly:

Uh…we're not that close. We had a minor disagreement before, but he easily resolved it.

It was only this time, when he said he'd treat us to dinner this weekend, that I was officially "invited"... I wonder where Xiaoyu will ultimately choose the venue...

Grandpa Teng, who hadn't said much until now, glared at his grandson with a look of disappointment and then tapped the table lightly with the lid of his teacup.

You're so stubborn! You didn't even seize such a great opportunity, and now you're back sighing and complaining!

Didn't you say the Zeng family girl was looking for a place? Isn't your brother's "Yue Ting Yuan" private club the perfect, ready-made option?

The old man, with his clear mind, analyzed:

Firstly, since you've provided the venue, the Zeng family girl will definitely be happy, and you, as the "guardian knight," will have done a great job, right?

Secondly, it also shows that our Teng family is sincere, since Zeng Long indirectly helped your brothers vent their anger.

Thirdly, this is a great opportunity for your brother to get to know him! You should reserve the venue in your name and provide the best service. Then, your brother can appear as the "venue representative," which will be perfectly natural!

After listening, Tengfei seemed to wake from a dream, and suddenly slapped his forehead:

"Oh yeah! How could I not have thought of that! Oh no! Xiaoyu wouldn't have already booked another place, would she?!"

He couldn't sit still any longer. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he jumped up and pulled out his phone as he ran outside. "I'm calling Xiaoyu right now!"

Watching his younger brother rush out in a flurry of activity, Teng Ao and the old man exchanged a smile, but Teng Ao's smile held a hint of anticipation.

In the western suburbs, there is Grandpa Chen's simple and rustic courtyard house.

The atmosphere was much more somber. Chen Yifeng stood in the center of the study, his eyes icy, his body radiating an almost tangible killing intent. He addressed Old Master Chen, who sat in the armchair:

"Grandpa, I heard from school that Zeng Long is going to throw a big banquet for his whole class this weekend. Yan Rugo, Zeng Lingyu, and that tagalong Tengfei will all be there!"

Old Master Chen slowly opened his half-closed eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy pupils. His voice was low and slow: "Xiao Feng, calm down. Learn from your mistakes. This matter cannot be rushed. It's not too late to plan our next move after we have thoroughly investigated his background."

He paused, a thoughtful expression on his face:

I met him in person last time. Although we were some distance apart, I could tell that the kid's eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor were quite similar to that old man Zeng Rong and his son Zeng Sheng!

There are likely connections here that we haven't yet uncovered. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

You must learn to stay calm; a true hunter must have enough patience.

Chen Yifeng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but in the end he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his surging killing intent. However, his eyes appeared even more deep and cold.

Inside a secluded, quaint office.

Wu Jun remained languidly reclined in his preferred chair, while a strikingly beautiful and skilled woman massaged his shoulders from behind. His assistant, still slightly bowed, reported in a low voice.

When he heard that "Zeng Long is hosting a banquet for the whole class, and the daughters of the Yan and Zeng families, as well as Tengfei, will all be attending," a very faint smile appeared on Wu Jun's usually calm face.

"Oh?" He uttered a cryptic syllable, as if finally showing some interest. "Looks like this game is starting to get interesting. It'll be boring if the opponent is too weak."

He waved his hand gently, signaling the woman behind him to stop, his gaze fixed on the deep night outside the window, his tone as calm as if he were instructing her on what to have for dinner:

Continue to follow up and determine where they ultimately chose. Once you have a clear understanding... arrange to send over some "appetizers".

Let me see what this newly minted "star" is really made of, and whether he's qualified... to sit at my table.

His tone was casual, but the invisible, chilling killing intent made the temperature in the office seem to drop suddenly, and even the air became thick.

The assistant lowered his head even further, respectfully replied "Yes," and quietly withdrew.

Zeng Long's seemingly ordinary class reunion has become the focus of attention from various forces within the industry due to the special nature of the participants and the background of the event.

Countless eyes, both overt and covert, have already focused on this.

As long as they want to know something, or are interested in certain people or things, there will naturally be plenty of channels and people to personally deliver the information to them.

Moreover, Zeng Long's banquet this time was so high-profile that many eyes in the industry have already been watching where Zeng Long ate.

Regardless of the location, anyone in these circles can reach out if they want to; it's just that their purposes for reaching out vary.

This meal is destined to be anything but peaceful. Will it be a gathering of heroes, a joyous occasion with drinks and laughter? Or will it conceal deadly traps, a trap set in the middle of a banquet? Everything is shrouded in suspense.

Our protagonist, Zeng Long, has just finished a secure satellite phone call.

On the other end of the phone was a clear, lively voice, yet with an undeniable tone (clearly Lin Xiaoya, codenamed "Divine Sparrow"), informing him:

"Zero! Report! The 'Nuclear Bomb' team, consisting of three people, will arrive at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport at 10:00 AM this Saturday, two days from now! You are required to be on time and personally pick them up! No mistakes allowed!"

As for Shi Tiezhu, codenamed "Beast," and Ye Feng, codenamed "Death God," they wouldn't dare speak to Zeng Long in that tone, unless they wanted to experience the feeling of being "specially cared for" by their boss beforehand.

Zeng Long put down the phone, rubbed his temples, and felt a bit of a headache.

Picking someone up from the airport on a weekend morning, followed by a class dinner that evening... the schedule was really "tight".

He seemed to have already seen the "wonderful" future of the capital city... and even his peaceful (soon to cease to exist) life after those three "nuclear bombs" landed.

Meanwhile, Zeng Lingyu also received a call from Tengfei. Tengfei said that she could choose Yuetingyuan, which was owned by his brother, where all food and drinks were provided free of charge, and a private car would be arranged to pick her up from school. She could also sing karaoke after the meal.

Zeng Lingyu was also tempted. Yes, that place wasn't for the average person; the environment, class, food, and amenities were all top-notch.

Zeng Lingyu agreed on the spot and entrusted the whole matter to Tengfei. If he did well, he would be rewarded; if he did poorly, Tengfei would be left to fend for himself.

On the other end of the phone, Tengfei was both excited and thrilled to be able to help the "goddess," and nervous about the "only success is allowed, failure is not an option" mission!

Zhu Yiqun, who was excitedly anticipating the weekend's fun-filled dinner party in his dorm room, finally received a call from Zeng Lingyu.

Zeng Lingyu excitedly told him that the location had been chosen: the "Yuetingyuan" private club owned by Tengfei's brother. The environment was amazing, everything was free, and there was even a private car to pick him up and drop him off, as well as entertainment after the meal!

Zeng Lingyu also emphasized that she had entrusted Tengfei with the entire task and had given him a "do-or-die" order: if he did well, he would be rewarded (maybe with a smile); if he did poorly... then he would have to fend for himself and bear the consequences!

This weekend is destined to be anything but "exciting." Zeng Long's long-desired ordinary university life is truly... a long and arduous road ahead!
