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

The name "Zeng Linglong" struck Zeng Long like three thunderbolts!

He suddenly stopped in his tracks! He was frozen in place, as if he had been struck by a spell!

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Yan Ruge. His eyes, which were originally as calm as a deep pool, were now filled with terrifying blood vessels!

His chapped lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but only a hoarse, unintelligible sound came out of his throat.

He used immense willpower to forcefully suppress the turbulent emotions churning within him—

His facial muscles twitched slightly a few times, but he eventually managed to regain his almost cold composure.

He forced out three words through gritted teeth: "Go on."

Seeing his forced composure, Yan Rugo became even more certain of her guess. She continued, her voice filled with the pain of tears streaming down her face:

Later... the Zeng family discovered that their own grandson had been switched with another baby, and the whole family was furious!

Especially my great-grandfather... He was like an enraged lion, launching a thorough investigation of the hospital at the time with thunderous fury.

They mobilized all available resources in a frantic search for their true, abandoned grandson...

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with helplessness:

"But...it's all been so long ago...all traces have been wiped clean by an invisible hand...not a single valuable clue has been found..."

"And I..." She pointed to herself, tears finally streaming down her face—becoming the biggest joke in the entire capital! Everything... was so cruel and absurd!

I...I really wanted to go to the Zeng family home then, to get to the bottom of things! To demand an explanation! Why did things turn out like this?!

The switched-out one is now in a vegetative state, his fate unknown; the real Zeng Linglong... has vanished without a trace, his life hanging in the balance!

And what about me? What am I?! Has anyone... has anyone ever understood how I feel?!

Her cries sounded exceptionally clear and heart-wrenching in the quiet night:

"I'm like a bird trapped in a magnificent walled city... It seems like it can fly, but... it can never escape that predetermined, suffocating sky, and it can never reach the light it truly yearns for!"

"My great-grandfather and my grandfather... they were always sworn brothers, and their families were staunch allies, standing together through thick and thin. They even shared the same philosophy on governing the country... Even after they retired, they continued to dedicate their remaining energy to the country..."

Her voice was filled with struggle and pain:

What can I do? What can I do?!

Could it be... could it be that, while the Zeng family, and Great-Grandpa himself, are already suffering immense pain from the loss of his grandson, they must also be burdened by my...

Should we stab them in the heart again, making them even more heartbroken?!

"So..." She tried to wipe away the tears on her face, but the tears flowed like a burst dam, the more she wiped, the more they came.

"I could only try my best to appear strong amidst the ridicule and strange looks from others, desperately forcing a nonchalant smile! And the only person I could confide in about these grievances and pain was Xiaoyu..."

Her voice lowered, filled with helplessness:

But... what can Xiaoyu do? She's living in pain too!

She had to care for her mother, who was constantly in tears because of the loss of her son, and at the same time... she also had to force a smile and live on...

"Until that day..." A glimmer of light appeared in her voice, as if she had grasped at a straw:

"Until my great-grandfather personally proposed to my grandfather... to dissolve that absurd engagement!"

A genuine, relieved smile finally appeared on her face, despite the tear stains.

"My life... has finally returned to the light! I'm no longer someone bound by an engagement! I can finally... live for myself!"

However, this glimmer of light was quickly replaced by more complex emotions. She raised her head, her gaze becoming firm and sharp again, looking directly at Zeng Long:

"But... your appearance! It changed everything again!"

In Xiaoyu's eyes, I saw a concern and urgency that went beyond that of ordinary classmates;

I'm willing to risk my life to protect you, even in the rain;

From the outline of your face, I can vaguely see the shadows of my great-grandfather and great-uncle;

From the almost cruel revenge you showed when Xiaoyu was injured, I saw the Zeng family's bloodline of protecting their own to the extreme.

From the attitude and eyes of the Zeng sisters, Zeng Xuan and Zeng Ke, I saw undisguised kinship and a deep sense of shared blood ties!

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, her voice clear and resolute, like a final pronouncement:

"You... are it!" "The true descendant of the Zeng family, lost for eighteen long years!" "Your original name... was Zeng... Ling... Long!"
