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

Wu Chen, He Ziming, Liu Sheng, and others frantically dialed the phone.

However, they were unaware that while they were desperately pleading for help like headless flies, in several secluded mansions in the capital:

Those few elders who truly held the reins of the family, weathered many storms, and had long since developed the composure to remain unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain—

Elder Wu, Elder He, Elder Liu, and others had already gained a general understanding of the situation at Yuetingyuan through the warnings from the military commander.

At this moment, these elderly people, whose stomping feet could cause an earthquake, were all caught in a state of immense shock, helplessness, and deep contemplation.

Inside the study of the Wu family's old residence.

Grandpa Wu was clutching a secure phone tightly in his hand, the age spots on the back of his hand clearly visible.

His mind was replaying the contents of the phone call he had received not long ago from a high-ranking military official, whose tone was almost unquestionable.

The phone call, without much pleasantries or small talk, directly revealed the identities of Zeng Long's team members—who also possessed extraordinary authority.

"They are all unsung heroes of the country!"—These words struck him like a hammer blow, shattering his initial idea of ​​using official power to exert pressure.

The word "hero" carries such significance and merit that any "official" action against them becomes extremely sensitive and politically incorrect.

"They are also the most elite professional soldiers currently available, each one a human killing machine!"

The other party's description was cold and objective, yet it carried a chilling power.

Having spent his entire life navigating the power dynamics, Mr. Wu knew all too well what the phrase "human killing machine" meant in a specific context.

That means combat power beyond common sense, and absolute crushing of conventional law enforcement forces!

"Don't even mention sending the police to arrest them; that would only be sending them to their deaths."

The voice on the other end of the phone ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Send troops? That's even more impossible!" The other party's tone was somewhat grave.

"Because any one of them has the ability to independently launch a high-intensity local war in any region or city."

"No one can afford the consequences! Moreover, no one has been killed so far, and the situation is still 'under control'."

"Controllable"? A bitter smile appeared on Old Wu's lips.

Even the grandson was forced to kneel and beg for mercy, and could face even more severe attacks at any time. Is this what you call controllable?

What made him feel even more powerless was what the other party said next:

"At the same time, they are all special-series military personnel directly under the General Staff of the military, with top-secret identities and extremely high authority."

"Everyone is granted the authority to 'handle things themselves' when their personal safety is seriously threatened or when they are in an uncontrollable and dangerous situation."

This means that everything Zeng Long and his men did tonight, from violent retaliation to armed intimidation, was likely permitted under the military's special regulations.

They are not breaking the law, but rather carrying out a kind of authorized "crisis management".

The other party even preemptively ruled out the charge of "unauthorized firing":

"And let's not even talk about them using weapons without permission."

"That is a new weapon developed independently by their team and is currently in the testing phase. All relevant procedures are complete, and the military and security departments are aware of and have authorized it."

"You can sue them for firing the shots, but they can easily explain it away with reasons such as 'weapon performance testing' or 'necessary warnings in response to sudden threats'."

"After all, they didn't actually hurt anyone when they fired."

Upon hearing this, Old Wu felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

He finally understood what kind of people his grandson had messed with.

Not only are their individual strengths terrifyingly inhuman, but their actions are also shrouded in layers of legal "special identities" with extremely high interpretive power.

They can make most seemingly illegal acts "legitimate" through their special status and authority.

Because they are beings with "extra-authority" who exist outside the conventional rules.

At this moment, Old Wu suddenly recalled General Liu's seemingly well-intentioned but actually highly cautionary reminder from another phone call:

"Old Wu, take my advice: don't think about seeking revenge later."

General Liu's voice was unusually serious at the time: "They are 'angels of death' walking on the edge of war and death! Their revenge has no warning, no negotiation, only the most direct and thorough - killing."
