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

However, this delicate and heavy atmosphere was shattered by a sudden burst of almost tangible killing intent!

The moment Zeng Sheng led his fully armed, sharp-eyed guards through the door—

Shi Tiezhu and Lin Xiaoya, Zeng Long's two most loyal and most dangerous protectors, almost instinctively went into a state of highest alert.

Shi Tiezhu's body, as majestic as an ancient giant bear, tensed and bulged with muscles as if they were steel bars in an instant!

His eyes, as large as copper bells, flashed with a terrifying, fierce light, locking onto Zeng Sheng and the armed soldiers behind him! He subconsciously took a heavy half-step forward.

"Thump!" That step seemed to make the entire lobby floor tremble!

His massive body was about to completely shield Zeng Long behind him.

In his simple logic, any unidentified force that approaches Brother Long with weapons is the highest level of threat and must be eliminated or suppressed immediately!

On the other side, Lin Xiaoya, though petite, reacted with lightning speed, making her even more dangerous.

Her big eyes, which always sparkled with a mischievous light, narrowed into slits in an instant, a sharp, icy glint flashing within them.

No one could see her exact movement; they only felt that her wrist seemed to twitch very slightly...

A strangely shaped, deadly device containing miniature high-explosive energy or a potent biological anesthetic has silently slipped into her fair and delicate palm as if by magic!

Her fingertips curled slightly as she precisely pressed the trigger button on the device, instantly transforming her demeanor from innocent and carefree to that of a deadly spirit cat poised to pounce.

Battle is imminent! The air is thick with the smell of gunpowder!

If Shi Tiezhu's ferocious power and Lin Xiaoya's unpredictable and unpredictable methods were to erupt simultaneously...

Even if Zeng Sheng's guard company is the elite of the elite, it will absolutely be plunged into a terrible chaos! The consequences are unimaginable.

However, at this critical juncture, on the verge of igniting a devastating conflict—

"dad!"

Zeng Lingyu's clear call, filled with surprise, dependence, and a hint of grievance, was like a pure spring, instantly pouring into the explosive barrel of dynamite.

Lin Xiaoya's fingertips, which were pressing on the trigger mechanism, suddenly froze! Dad? Sister Xiaoyu called this general who brought in the troops... Dad? Then wouldn't that be... Brother Long's...?

Almost simultaneously, Zeng Long, who had been standing silently, raised his right hand with lightning speed, almost leaving a blur—

He made a very clear "Safe, cease action" gesture towards Shi Tiezhu and Lin Xiaoya.

Shi Tiezhu immediately stopped his further forward charge and attack.

The violent aura seemed to be paused, quickly subsiding.

Lin Xiaoya's reaction was even more astonishingly swift!

Her narrowed eyes instantly returned to their crescent shape, and with a flick of her wrist that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, the dangerous and deadly device vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Her signature, harmless, sweet smile returned to her face.

She winked her big eyes playfully at Zeng Sheng, then obediently stood back beside Zeng Long, her hands behind her back, looking innocent as if to say, "I'm the most obedient baby, nothing happened."

All of this transformation, from extreme danger to instantaneous calm, happened in the blink of an eye.

It happened so fast that before those kneeling and standing people could fully react, the suffocating sense of impending doom had already vanished.

This also indirectly confirms the wisdom and necessity of General Liu's arrangement for Zeng Sheng to come.

He knew all too well the way these "nuclear bombs" around Zeng Long operated and their unwavering loyalty and protectiveness towards him.

If it were any other military general...

No matter how high their position or how strong their attitude, if they are unaware of the details and attempt to intervene with a commanding tone...

All of these could very likely trigger extreme reactions from Shi Tiezhu, Lin Xiaoya, or even Ye Feng (if he were present), pushing the already tense situation into an irreversible abyss of bloodshed.

Only Zeng Sheng, Zeng Long's father with whom he shares an unbreakable blood tie, could possibly take over the situation smoothly without triggering a violent armed conflict, paving the way for a subsequent resolution.
