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

Almost at the same time Ye Feng took the order and left, Zeng Long took out his phone and dialed General Liu's number again.

This time, his tone was no longer a statement, but carried an almost ultimatum-like force and coldness, even...

It implies an extreme sense of distrust on certain levels.

"General Liu," Zeng Long's voice was clear and devoid of any emotion:

"My classmate Du Ziteng's father has been framed for tax evasion. I have now sent Ye Feng to 'rescue' him."

He only said this one sentence, without explanation, request, or even giving the other party a chance to interrupt, before hanging up the phone!

On the other end of the phone, General Liu, holding the busy signal, froze on the spot as if he had been frozen by a bolt of ice.

An unprecedented chill instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making every hair on his body stand on end.

"rescue"?!

Zeng Long used the word "rescue," not "handle," not "solve," and certainly not "request assistance"!

Moreover, he sent Ye Feng! He sent Ye Feng, the one codenamed "Death God," who sees killing as art and disregards rules.

What does "rescue" mean in Ye Feng's dictionary? Old Mrs. Liu knows!

That means he will spare no expense and use all necessary violent means to remove all obstacles and achieve his goal.

"Fuck!!!" Even the usually calm and collected Old Liu couldn't help but curse in his mind at this moment.

Why?! Why didn't Zeng Long resolve this issue himself? Why didn't he go through official channels? Even having Old Liu personally order their release would have been better!

There's only one answer—Zeng Long, he's truly enraged! Enraged to the extreme!

He developed a strong distrust of certain aspects of the official government, and of the potential collusion and inaction.

Therefore, he chose the most direct, violent, and consistent approach with his and his team's style of doing things.

This is no longer solving the problem; it's venting anger.

It is using the most extreme methods to issue the most severe warning and provocation to all enemies hiding in the shadows, as well as those officials who may be holding positions without doing their jobs.

"Fuck him! Fuck him!! Fuck him!!!"

Old Liu roared in his heart, cursing the mastermind behind the scenes, as well as the ancestors of all those responsible who dared to interfere recklessly or fail to act at this critical moment!

"You idiots! Morons! Useless trash! The situation is already chaotic and dangerous enough!"

"Why are you adding fuel to the fire?!"

"Why do you have to walk right into the line of fire?!"

"Why use your power to target people associated with Zeng Long without cause?!"

Grandma Liu understands Zeng Long now!

He was not merely an individual with exceptional combat power; he was a war machine, a born leader, and a demon god who would disregard everything for his brothers and slaughter thousands of miles in a bloodbath.

The people gathered around him—Shi Tiezhu, Ye Feng, Lin Xiaoya…—were all lawless, unconventional "madmen"?

The reason they followed Zeng Long so wholeheartedly was because of Zeng Long's unreserved protectiveness and domineering nature.

Once Zeng Long identifies someone as an "enemy," the consequences... Old Liu simply can't imagine.

That would be a destructive storm that sweeps everything away.

It is a disaster that even the state apparatus may have to pay a heavy price to quell, and may not even be able to completely quell.

There is no room for hesitation! We must stop Ye Feng immediately!

Or at least, before Ye Feng causes irreparable damage, Du Ziteng's father should be safely delivered to Yuetingyuan.

The first thing Old Liu thought of was not to use force, because he knew it might not work on Ye Feng and could even escalate the conflict.

It was Li Weiguo!

Currently, in the entire Dragon Kingdom, perhaps only Li Weiguo, whom Zeng Long genuinely calls "Uncle Li," has any chance of slightly influencing Zeng Long's emotions, or at least making him willing to communicate.

He immediately dialed Li Weiguo's number, his tone more urgent and serious than ever before:

"Wei Guo! Something terrible has happened!" He quickly relayed Zeng Long's exact words!

"He didn't use 'deal with,' he used 'rescue'! Do you understand what that means?!"

"Quick! Find a way to contact Zeng Long and keep him calm! I'll immediately use all available means to ensure Mr. Du's safe arrival at Yueting Garden! Hurry!!"

At this moment, Li Weiguo was sitting in Grandpa Zeng Xu's car, speeding towards Yuetingyuan.

Upon receiving this call from Old Liu, and hearing Old Liu's almost out-of-control warning on the other end of the line, Li Weiguo felt a chill instantly sweep over his entire body!

He was also part of the system, and he knew all too well the bloody implications behind the words "Ye Feng was dispatched to rescue him".

He glanced at Old Master Zeng, who was resting with his eyes closed but whose brows were still furrowed with anger, and swallowed hard.

He took a deep, heavy breath and said into the phone, "Mr. Liu! I understand! I'll handle it immediately! Mr. Zeng and I are on our way and will be there soon."

After ending the call with Mr. Liu, Li Weiguo didn't even have time to explain in detail to Mr. Zeng. He immediately frantically searched for Zeng Long's number and dialed it.

His heart was in his throat, praying that Zeng Long would still listen to him and that things could still be salvaged.

Meanwhile, after ending his call with Li Weiguo, Liu Lao immediately used his highest authority to call the private accounts of the top official in the Ministry of Public Security and the director of the State Administration of Taxation.

"I am General Liu of the Army!"

"I am now issuing a state of utmost emergency order! Immediately! Search for any middle-aged male surnamed Du who has been arrested anywhere today!"

"Once found, spare no expense and use the fastest and safest method to immediately transport the person to Yuetingyuan!"

"Note: immediately! Right now! Deliver it!"

He emphasized it almost as if he were shouting:

"If any department or individual dares to disobey orders, delay, or raise any questions, regardless of their position, you are authorized to dismiss them on the spot!"

"I will take full responsibility! I will personally complete all the formalities and documents afterwards! Execute the order! Now! Immediately!!"

At this moment, the massive national machinery, driven by Liu Lao's order, which was imbued with boundless anger and an extreme sense of urgency, was once again activated with maximum efficiency.

Within the Ministry of Public Security and the tax system, urgent orders were issued like lightning.

Countless people were awakened from their sleep or work and began a frantic search for the "middle-aged man surnamed Du" whose fate was at stake.

Inside the lobby of Yuetingyuan, Zeng Long had just ended an extremely brief phone call with Old Liu.

He stood there like a volcano about to erupt.

Time, as if sensing this terrifying rage, galloped at an astonishing speed under his icy gaze, like a wild horse that had broken free.

Every minute and every second means that Ye Feng may be getting closer to his goal, may be fighting with his opponents, or... Du's father may be suffering more hardships.

Just then, his phone vibrated again, and the screen displayed "Uncle Li".

Zeng Long looked at the name but didn't answer immediately.

He knew what Li Weiguo was going to say, but at that moment his heart was encased in eternal ice.

The storm has arrived. The trial is proceeding at breakneck speed, in ways that defy convention.

The fate of everyone involved hinges on these fleeting moments, on the next choice made by the man who stands there like a demon.
