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

General Liu and several other high-ranking military officials standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Should we stop it? It doesn't seem appropriate. This is clearly a "personal feud" between juniors, and a "justifiable retaliation" after being bullied. What would it look like for generals to interfere?

If he didn't stop them, those kids would get more and more excited as they fought. Yan Hai was panting and almost exhausted from beating them, but he still showed no sign of stopping!

If the fight continues, even if no one dies, everyone will inevitably end up with black eyes and swollen faces, and those old guys will lose face even more.

General Liu looked at the chaotic scene, then at Zeng Long, who looked calm as if he were enjoying some wonderful performance, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him!

Like a flash of lightning in the night!

"Wow! This kid... he's a fucking genius!" He instantly understood Zeng Long's intention!

This is not simply about letting Yan Hai vent his anger.

This was clearly a grand "coup" drama being staged in front of those old guys!

They used this almost shameless yet infuriating method to force Mr. Wu and his group to make a statement!

He immediately strode over to Wu Jingzhong, whose face was ashen, and lowered his voice, saying with a hint of urgency (and a barely perceptible sense of anticipation):

"Old Wu! Old Wu! Aren't you going to stop this? If this continues, the children will be ruined! It'll be even more embarrassing then!"

Wu Jingzhong, who was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it, growled in a low voice:

How could I stop them?! Didn't you see those two old guys, Zeng Rong and Yan Fushan, watching from the sidelines?

The moment I stopped them, they started bringing up old grievances!

After all, Yan Hai was the one who got beaten first, and the Zeng family girl even bled! That Zeng Long is utterly shameless!

General Liu chuckled inwardly, but his face wore an expression that said, "Why are you still so clueless?" He leaned closer and lowered his voice even further:

My dear Mr. Wu! Why haven't you figured it out yet?

Why did Zeng Long not let Yan Hai retaliate earlier or later, but wait until all of you were here before putting on this "live broadcast of the all-out brawl" in front of you?

He's forcing you! Forcing you to hand over the person behind it all!

"Oh!!!" Old Wu, Old He, and Old Liu realized this almost simultaneously!

That's right! They were so busy being angry and doting on their grandson that they forgot about this!

Zeng Long's elaborate scheme was ultimately aimed at the person who was plotting behind the scenes!

He's using their grandson's physical suffering to force them to cut their losses!

This tactic is more than just insidious; it's downright ruthless!

"Damn! This kid is too cunning!" Old He couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

Wu Jingzhong's expression shifted. He looked at Wu Chen, who was still being "focused on" by Yan Hai and screaming incessantly, and then at Zeng Long, who seemed completely unperturbed. He knew that if this dragged on any longer, he would be the one to suffer and lose face.

This matter wasn't complicated to begin with. Given Zeng Long's ruthless methods and determination to get to the bottom of things, the fact that Wu Jun was behind it all couldn't be hidden; it would be exposed sooner or later. A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!

Without further hesitation, he took a deep breath, raised his voice towards Zeng Long, and tried to quell the noise in the room:

"Zeng Long! Didn't you want to know who's behind this?"

Tell them to stop! I...I'm telling you!

All eyes immediately turned to them.

Yan Hai and the others also subconsciously stopped what they were doing, panting as they looked over.

Zeng Long slowly turned his head, his face showing no surprise, but looking at Wu Jingzhong with those frighteningly calm eyes, his tone carrying a hint of playful skepticism:

"Oh? Are you sure... you know?"

"I...I!" Wu Jingzhong almost choked on his words!

His old face instantly turned a deep liver color!

Damn it! That kid is awful!

That's like putting him on the hot seat!

What did he say? "I know"?

Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that you knew all along, and that you might even be suspected of being the mastermind or a cover-up?

What were they doing up there? Why didn't they stop them?

If he said "I don't know," Zeng Long would definitely think he was playing tricks, and Yan Hai's punches would probably be even harder. Zeng Long himself might even get involved. He didn't dare to think about the consequences!

Wu Jingzhong felt that his decades of cultivation were utterly insignificant in front of this young man.

He finally understood firsthand the deep sense of powerlessness, frustration, and suffocation that Old Master Chen felt when facing Zeng Long!

This kid looks young, but he's got way too many tricks up his sleeve! He calculates every single step meticulously!

He looked at Zeng Long's seemingly calm but actually relentlessly pressing gaze, then glanced at his grandson, who was bruised and battered and looking at him pitifully. In the end, all his anger, scheming, and pride turned into a sigh full of exhaustion and helplessness.

He knew that they had already lost this game the moment they stepped through that door.

"...It's Wu Jun." He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth, his voice not loud, but it was like another thunderclap, exploding once more in the already unsettled hall!

The expressions on everyone's faces instantly became incredibly interesting. Zeng Long's lips curled into a cold, knowing smile.
