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

Inside the elegant and cozy private room at Yue Ting Yuan, the group was chatting quietly in a harmonious atmosphere. Just then, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the tranquility.

Ye Feng took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately answered, "Dad... yeah, we're already here. What? You're almost at the door? Okay, okay, I'll be right out."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng looked at Zeng Long, a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his eyes: "Boss! My parents, Uncle Yin, Uncle Du and the others are almost at the entrance of Yue Ting Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Long stood up from his seat without hesitation, his movements swift and decisive, as if he had received a crucial instruction. He straightened his not-too-disheveled collar, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable resolve: "Alright! Let's go to the door together to greet Uncle and Aunt!"

His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly triggering a chain reaction.

Everyone in the room—Teng Ao, Yan Ruge, Xiao Yu, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya—immediately stood up.

The people Zeng Long personally invited to greet were the parents of his sworn brother; this gesture carried immense weight!

Especially Teng Ao and Yan Ruge, both for public and private reasons, they must follow closely behind. This is not only an attitude, but also a rule.

Thus, at the grand and imposing entrance of Yueting Garden, a scene unfolded that would leave any insider in Beijing speechless and breathless—

Zeng Long took the lead, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his face calm, and his deep eyes looking towards the parking lot.

To his left was Tie Zhu, a burly man with sharp eyes, and Xiao Ya, a lively and pretty girl who looked serious at the moment.

To his right was Ye Feng, whose expression was both respectful and anxious.

Even more unbelievable is that, standing half a step behind Zeng Long, were two giants who are now unparalleled in the business world of China—

Teng Ao, president of Longyu Group, and Yan Ruge, general manager of domestic operations! Even Zeng Lingyu, the princess of the Zeng family, stood quietly to the side, her pretty face full of seriousness.

Any one of these individuals, if they appeared alone, would be enough to cause quite a stir.

At this moment, they gathered here, like the most loyal guards and the closest family members, standing respectfully at the door, their eyes all focused in one direction, waiting quietly.

This lineup, this posture, this silent solemnity—it is itself a silent yet deafening declaration!

When Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin stood still beside the unassuming minivan and looked up at the scene at the entrance, their shock surged like a tsunami, but even more so, they felt a warm and excited sense of being highly valued.

However, Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and several other company executives who had come along and were following closely behind them, saw the figures at the door the moment they saw them—

It felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in my mind, and I froze on the spot, my breath catching in my throat!

Zeng Long! Teng Ao! Yan Ruge!

These faces, from the last exchange meeting, were already etched deep into their memories like a brand; they were figures standing on clouds, unreachable!

Zeng Long, in particular, is a legend who even the top playboys in the capital have to bow down to and who makes countless wealthy family leaders treat him with utmost care!

At this moment, they are actually... all gathered here, as if welcoming some important figure?

Immediately, Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes, filled with immense shock and awe, to the backs of the seemingly ordinary middle-aged couple in front of them—Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin.

In an instant, the couple's backs seemed to transform into two majestic, insurmountable mountains in their eyes!

They are so self-aware! To have Zeng Long, Teng Ao, and Yan Rugo, a truly formidable trio, all set aside their status and personally come to the door to greet them...

In the whole world, perhaps only this couple who gave birth to Zeng Longguo's brother could have done it!

Even if the heads of the top wealthy families in Beijing, or even some retired old men, were to come in person, they might not have the honor of making these proud and arrogant young heroes wait here so uniformly and willingly!

"Hiss..." Someone gasped involuntarily.

Yin Hang and Du Hanyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing immense relief and resolute determination in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, they chose to sincerely befriend Ye Zhenkang and stood on the right side!

The resolute thing is that from this moment on, no matter what the future holds, they must follow the lead of Ye Zhenkang and his wife!

This is no longer a simple business collaboration; it's like climbing a towering tree that reaches straight to the sky!

"Chairman Ye, Madam Zhou, Young Master Long and the others... have come out to greet us personally." Yin Hang suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his voice trembling slightly as he whispered a reminder.

Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin snapped out of their shock and quickly quickened their pace, their faces beaming with flattered smiles as they went to greet him.

"Uncle, Aunt!" Zeng Long spoke first, his icy expression melting away to reveal a sincere and warm smile as he took a step forward.

"Oh my, Xiaolong, why did you all come out! This...this is too kind of you!" Ye Zhenkang tightly grasped Zeng Long's outstretched hand, so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Simin's eyes also welled up with tears as she looked at Zeng Long, then at her son Ye Feng, and at Tie Zhu and Xiao Ya, who were like siblings to him. Her heart was filled with indescribable happiness and contentment.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and introductions, the crowd surrounded Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin, like stars surrounding the moon, and entered Yueting Garden!

Several company executives, still reeling from the shock, remained at the door, while passersby and service staff in the distance were stunned by what they witnessed.

Upon arriving at the pre-prepared VIP private room, its luxury and elegance went without saying.

When arranging the seats, Zeng Long did something that almost made Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin stand up and decline again—

He personally helped Ye Zhenkang to the undisputed seat of honor, and then had Zhou Simin sit on the other side of the seat of honor.

"Uncle, Aunt, you are the most important protagonists tonight. This seat of honor belongs to you." Zeng Long's tone was gentle but left no room for refusal.

Then, he and Ye Feng sat down on either side of Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin, one on the left and one on the right respectively.

Tie Zhu and Xiao Ya followed closely behind, naturally sitting down next to Zeng Long and Ye Feng.

This seemingly simple seating arrangement embodies the utmost respect and affection that the four members of Team Zero show to Ye's parents!

This was a silent declaration, proclaiming to everyone present:

In the hearts of these four, their brothers are their own closest relatives! This bond, which has been forged through life and death and transcends blood ties, is fully manifested at this moment.

In the whole world, the only people who could treat these four young people, who have already made waves on the international stage, in this way are probably their parents and closest relatives.

Teng Ao, Yan Ruge, Xiao Yu, and others took their seats in turn, each with a smile on their face, creating a harmonious and solemn atmosphere.

After Teng Ao personally instructed the waiter to start serving the dishes, Zeng Long glanced at Ye Feng, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya. As if on the same wavelength, the four of them stood up at the same time.

Zeng Long personally filled the wine glasses in front of Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin, and then picked up his own glass.

Ye Feng, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya also raised their glasses at the same time. The four glasses sparkled under the lights, symbolizing the unbreakable friendship between the four.

Zeng Long's gaze was deep and sincere. He looked at Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin, who seemed somewhat at a loss and whose eyes were beginning to redden. His voice was steady and powerful, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"Uncle, Aunt, tonight is a dinner party that we four siblings have prepared for you."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Ye Feng, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya beside him, his tone becoming more solemn:

"The four of us are one. This unity transcends blood ties; it's a bond of life and death, where we are inseparable!"

"Therefore," his voice rose slightly, carrying a powerful and awe-inspiring force, "our good brother Ye Feng is your son! Then I, Zeng Long, Tie Zhu, and Lin Xiaoya, are also your son and daughter from this day forward!"

"Therefore, we, your four children, raise a toast to you!"

Zeng Long raised his glass, and Ye Feng, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya did the same. The four glasses of wine, like four sincere hearts, were all turned toward Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin.

Wishing you both happiness, good health, and all the best!

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them tilted their heads back at the same time and drank the wine in their glasses, which represented the utmost respect and deep affection, in one gulp!

Their movements were synchronized and precise, displaying the crispness and efficiency of soldiers, and the devout respect of children.

"Good...good...good...!" Ye Zhenkang said "good" three times in a row, his voice already choked with emotion. He tried to cover his lips with his hand, but he couldn't control his violently heaving chest and his rapidly moist eyes.

Zhou Simin was already in tears—tears of joy, tears of emotion, and tears of happiness!

Looking at her four outstanding "children" before her, she felt that her life was complete, and all her grievances and worries vanished at that moment.

The two were so excited that their hands trembled slightly. They managed to grip their wine glasses tightly, glanced at each other, and saw immense pride and happiness in each other's eyes.

They vigorously rubbed their blurry eyes, their faces beaming with the brightest, most satisfied smiles of their lives. Then, with unwavering resolve and excitement, they raised their heads and downed the heavy cup of happiness in one gulp!

At that moment, the private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was deeply moved and shocked by this touching scene.

After toasting Ye's parents, Zeng Long turned his gaze to Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and the others, who were sitting a little further away, still immersed in the shocking scene from just now. He personally poured another glass of wine and picked it up.

Sensing Zeng Long's gaze, Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and the others were struck as if by an electric current, and they stood up almost instantly, their bodies taut and their faces filled with overwhelming excitement and an unbelievable sense of honor.

Zeng Long looked at them, his tone calm yet carrying immense power:

"President Yin, President Du, and a few other executives," he said, scanning their faces one by one, "thank you all for your sincere companionship and help to Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhou during this time."

His words reached everyone's ears clearly:

"I, Zeng Long, and my siblings are worldly-wise and know how to be grateful."

"I won't say much, all my gratitude is in this glass of wine."

He paused slightly, his gaze deepening as if he were trying to etch their faces into his mind:

"We will remember your kindness!"

"This glass, from the four of us, is a toast to everyone!"

boom!

These words, like a final thunderclap, completely shattered the psychological defenses of Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and others!

Zeng Long's first words were "thank you," which was just politeness! His second words were "thank you," and he explicitly stated that he would "keep it in his heart." This was no longer just simple politeness, but the clearest recognition and acceptance!

This means that from then on, they truly entered the periphery of Zeng Long's sight and established a direct connection with this legendary figure!

This is not an opportunity that can be measured in monetary terms; it is an unparalleled power and glory!

"Young Master Long... you flatter me! This is what we should do!" Yin Hang was so excited that he was incoherent, his voice trembling.

Du Hanyuan nodded repeatedly, too excited to speak.

The other two company executives were so nervous that they were at a loss for what to do. One of them was so nervous that his hand was shaking so badly that he slipped from the glass twice. He had to hold the glass tightly with both hands to keep it in place. His face was flushed with a mixture of excitement and embarrassment.

Led by Zeng Long, Ye Feng, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Ya raised their glasses again, and then the four of them toasted together.

Upon seeing this, Yin Hang, Du Hanyuan, and the others, with an almost reverent pilgrimage-like devotion, used all their strength and trembling hands to tilt their heads back and gulp down the wine that represented supreme glory.

The fiery liquor seemed to ignite the passion and hope in their hearts!

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.

Teng Ao, Yan Ruge, and Xiao Yu also stood up in turn and respectfully toasted Ye Zhenkang and Zhou Simin, expressing their respect as juniors.

At the same time, they raised their glasses to the extremely excited Yin Hang and his group, maintaining a calm attitude and giving them ample face.

Inside the private room, glasses clinked, laughter filled the air, warmth and excitement intertwined, and glory and camaraderie resonated.

Tonight, Yuetingyuan is destined to be another sleepless night, witnessing the sublimation of emotions, as well as the establishment of new alliances and loyalty...
