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

The study of General Liu was brightly lit.

This elderly man, who had experienced the baptism of real war and now held a high position in the military, did not take immediate action after hanging up the phone with Zeng Long.

He leaned back in the large leather chair, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the mahogany table, each tap seeming to strike a chord deep within one's heart.

His face, weathered and etched with the lines of time—

There was anger, there was helplessness, but more than anything, there was a deep sense of regret and overwhelming fear!

He knew all too well what Zeng Long had said on the phone just now—

Beneath that calm tone lay a resolute determination and a chilling interrogation.

What the young man wanted was not just an explanation, but a clear attitude from the country towards him as a person, as well as the power and contributions he represented.

Last time, Zeng Long was on the front lines carrying out a dangerous mission for the country, risking his life, but someone stabbed him in the back, trying to ruin his reputation.

The matter had just subsided, and the aftershocks were still lingering. Now, someone has turned their dirty hand on those around him, harming his friends and even causing his blood-related sister to bleed.

Old Liu knew Zeng Long's background, that he had been orphaned at a young age and had never received any formal education or training from the national system...

He grew up amidst brutal trials and the flames of war, where life and death hung in the balance.

But how much did this very person contribute to the country, given his approval and limited authorization?

How many unsung and illustrious achievements did they make?

Scenes from top-secret files flashed uncontrollably through his mind:

The kidnapping of Professor Lin's team:

Zeng Long led his Zero Squad deep into the lion's den without using a single soldier or incurring any diplomatic risk to the country.

Not only were the national treasure-level academician and his core team rescued unharmed, but the swift and decisive action also terrified foreign forces, demonstrating the prestige and inviolability of the Chinese nation!

Professor Lin is a pillar of our nation's scientific and technological strength! His value is immeasurable.

"Pigeon" rescue operation:

Zeng Long, without any rear support, displayed phenomenal battlefield command skills and his team's tactical execution as if they were divine intervention—

They successfully rescued the Dragon Kingdom's top intelligence agent, and the intelligence he brought back had a profound impact on the country's strategic planning.

That operation report is still regarded as an unsurpassable textbook classic by various special forces!

Middle East oil field recovery and hostage crisis:

Zeng Long already knew that someone in the capital wanted to harm him, yet he still volunteered for the mission again in the face of danger.

Despite the enormous risk of their identities being exposed, they not only recaptured the occupied oil fields with overwhelming force, but also successfully rescued all the hostages.

This has demonstrated China's inviolable national prestige and military might on the international stage!

After his triumphant return, he still did not ask the country for any additional rewards.

These are all heroes of the nation!

He's a hero hidden in the shadows!

He is an irreplaceable top-tier professional soldier, the king of kings among kings of soldiers.

But what about now? It's all because of these arrogant, spoiled brats who rely on their family's power and act recklessly—

And what about the insidious instigators behind them who would actually push such a powerful national weapon to the point of confrontation with domestic forces?

Old Liu wasn't afraid to "clean up Zeng Long's mess," and he didn't even mind using some tough measures to suppress the matter.

What he truly feared was—

Once the deeply entrenched family forces of the Wu, He, and Liu families, unaware of the truth or in order to protect their own members,

Using the power and resources at their disposal, they forcibly intervened, attempting to intimidate others and even resorting to unconventional methods to deal with Zeng Long and his team...

Just thinking about the consequences sent a chill down Old Liu's spine!

Were Zeng Long and the men around him ordinary soldiers? No! They were walking, human-shaped natural disasters!

It is the ultimate killing weapon that can single-handedly unleash a devastating war storm in any modern city and any different regional environment!

They should be the shield and blade protecting this country. Should they be sacrificed for such a trivial and sordid matter?

Are we really being forced to stand against the nation and its people because of a few good-for-nothing playboys?!

Regardless of the final outcome, even if Zeng Long and his group are ultimately suppressed, it will be an irreparable and extremely devastating loss for the country!

It's like cutting off your own arm! It's a foolish act that hurts your loved ones and pleases your enemies.

Thinking of this, Old Liu felt a burning hatred for the mastermind who was hiding behind the scenes, reaching out to Zeng Long, and trying to stir up trouble! His heart was utterly despicable!

Suddenly, what appeared in Old Liu's eyes was a kind of iron-blooded ruthlessness that came from long holding a high position and wielding the power of life and death!

Without further hesitation, he grabbed the red secure telephone on the table with an unwavering resolve!

The call connected almost instantly.

"Get me to the Beijing Military Sub-district, Deputy Commander Zeng Sheng!" Old Liu's voice was like a drawn military sword, cold and sharp.

The call was successfully transferred quickly.

"Zeng Sheng!" Old Liu issued the order without any pleasantries:

"I am General Liu! I now order you to immediately mobilize your troops, assigning two reinforced companies, and proceed to Yuetingyuan at the fastest speed!"

"Implement the highest level of military control over the area."

His tone was chilling, and he spoke each word with deliberation:

"No one is allowed to enter or leave Yuetingyuan until I arrive in person!"

"Anyone who dares to forcibly enter or leave without my orders will be considered a traitor and will be dealt with according to battlefield discipline!"

"Did you understand?!"

Immediately afterwards, he used the most concise language to inform Zeng Sheng on the other end of the phone about the core situation that had occurred in Yuetingyuan, especially Zeng Lingyu's injury, Zeng Long's rage, and the possible conflict between family forces involved.

On the other end of the phone, Zeng Sheng, deputy commander of the Beijing Military Sub-district, clenched his fist tightly when he heard the keywords "Zeng Lingyu injured" and "Zeng Long furious".

Immediately, a complex emotion, a mixture of overwhelming anger, heartache, and a trace of... pride, surged into my heart like a volcanic eruption!

His son! His son who had been living away from home, unable to fulfill his fatherly duties for even a day, yet had already made great contributions to the country!

His daughter! His precious daughter whom he cherished and raised from a young age!

How could he be bullied in the capital, right under Zeng Sheng's nose?

A murderous aura, as majestic as a mountain and as sharp as a tangible substance, erupted from this battle-hardened general like an out-of-control torrent!

He forcefully suppressed the roar that was about to burst from his chest. As a senior general, he was well aware of the complexity and severity of the situation.

"Commander! Don't worry! I understand!" Zeng Sheng's voice was hoarse with extreme anger.

"I will personally make arrangements immediately and personally go to Yuetingyuan to oversee the operation! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished! Before you and I arrive, no external forces will be allowed to interfere with the situation in the slightest!"

After hanging up with Old Liu, Zeng Sheng didn't hesitate and immediately connected to the military sub-district chief of staff's internal line:

"Chief of Staff! This is Zeng Sheng!"

"I hereby order the immediate activation of the emergency response plan!"

"Mobilize the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the XX Regiment, all equipped with live ammunition, personally led by me. Target: Yuetingyuan!"

"Complete assembly and deployment within twenty minutes! Execute the order."

After giving the order, Zeng Sheng suddenly stood up, grabbed the general's uniform draped over the back of the chair, and moved with lightning speed.

He strode out, growling at the guards as he went:

"Get the car ready! We're heading to Yueting Garden!"

The night sky over the capital was suddenly filled with turbulent winds and clouds because of the general's fury and actions!

A storm far exceeding worldly conflicts has officially begun.
