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

in the afternoon.

A secret room in a manor in Europe.

Sloan dragged his injured leg into his private communications room.

Signal jammers were also installed here.

He locked the door and walked to the desk in the center of the room.

Open the drawer.

Inside lay a quiet encrypted satellite phone, the same model as Wu Jun's.

Slo took a deep breath and picked up the phone.

Turn on.

Enter a dynamic password of up to 32 characters.

Waiting for satellite signal connection.

The green indicator light is on.

His thumb hovered over the dial key.

I quickly went over what I was going to say in my mind.

Then--

Press the first number.

the second.

The third.

Almost at the same moment—

Dragon Kingdom, Wu Jun's office.

Wu Jun had just managed to sit down in his high-backed chair with difficulty.

His face was still deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, but a sinister glint of a schemer rekindled in his eyes.

He waved his hand to dismiss all the bodyguards.

"Stand guard outside the door; no one may enter without my permission."

"Yes."

The heavy solid wood door closed and locked.

Wu Jun bent down and took out another spare encrypted satellite phone from a hidden compartment at the bottom of his desk.

This is an emergency line that can only be activated in the extreme case of "loss or damage to the main equipment".

He turned on the computer and entered the password.

Then, relying on memory, I began to enter the number etched in my mind—

Base operations room.

"Buzz—!!"

Suddenly, a glaring red alert popped up on the central main screen!

[Target encrypted satellite phone (serial number: ZK-07B) detected and activated!]

[Signal source location: Target office, coordinates locked!]

[Satellite channel connection attempt detected]

Xiaoya's pupils suddenly contracted!

"They're here!"

Her hands flew even faster on the keyboard!

"Activate all monitoring devices! Full-band scan!"

"Activate the signal tracking array! I need every millisecond of data from this call!"

"Activate AI-powered real-time speech translation and semantic analysis!"

"Simultaneous recording! Backup to encrypted server number three!"

The orders were issued like a torrential downpour!

At the control console, six information soldiers acted simultaneously!

On the big screen, the data stream suddenly surged tenfold!

The sound spectrum began to fluctuate violently!

The signal strength curve spiked dramatically!

The geolocation coordinates are updated quickly, with an accuracy of within ten meters!

And in Xiaoya's headphones, she could already hear—

"Beep...beep..."

The satellite phone is ringing with a notification tone indicating that it is waiting to be connected.

"Click."

A slight connection sound.

But neither of them spoke first on the phone.

This is the rule—an authentication step to prevent the line from being monitored or hijacked.

Three seconds of silence.

Then, Wu Jun's hoarse voice broke the silence first:

"It's me—"

"Wu".

He paused, then spoke very quickly:

"Listen to me first."

"My personal communication device... has been stolen."

"It must have been done by someone from the target's side."

"The situation is very dangerous; we must activate it immediately..."

"Shut up!!"

Slo's roar exploded from the receiver, sounding even more ferocious after being electronically distorted:

"What are you good for?! You let someone steal your personal cell phone?!"

Wu Jun was taken aback by the shout, but immediately lowered his voice and quickly recounted what had happened since last night in the most concise language.

Details of his being frightened unconscious, having his head shaved, and having lines drawn on his head were omitted.

They only emphasized that "the other party has extremely strong infiltration capabilities" and "the phone was taken away".

Sloan remained silent on the other end of the phone.

Only heavy breathing could be heard.

Are you sure...?

Slow's voice rang out again, filled with strong doubt:

"Is your current call environment... absolutely safe?"

"Since the other party was able to infiltrate your secret room... planting listening devices in your room... would be a piece of cake."

Wu Jun immediately said:

"My people thoroughly checked the office before taking me to the hospital."

"Four listeners have been identified."

What Wu Jun didn't know was that Ye Feng had deliberately let him find these four listening devices in order to mislead him.

He paused, a hint of relief in his voice:

"And... I have installed a full-band jammer here."

"No wireless signal can go out or come in."

"Absolutely safe."

On the other end of the phone.

Sloan let out a long breath:

"That's good……"

"Your dedicated phone is specially made by headquarters. It has a physical self-destruct device and the highest level of encryption."

"Plus, we're using virtual redirect numbers, and the messages are dynamic codes..."

"The other party... probably won't be able to find anything."

Wu Jun felt a little relieved.

But Slow's next words made him tense up instantly:

"Is the Mad God... really safe now?"

Wu Jun's eyes turned cold:

"The Mad God has been captured by the military."

"The 'assassin' I arranged... has been taken care of."

"What?!?"

Slow's voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable anger:

"Wu! What were you planning?!"

"How did the military find the safe house so quickly?!"

"Did you fucking give yourself away?!"

"You've ruined me, you know that?!"

"If the leader and strategist find out that Mad God is also in trouble... we'll both be severely 'punished'!!"

Furthermore, your information is completely wrong. Mad God said that the target is definitely not just your Dragon Kingdom soldiers! He definitely has another identity!

"Impossible!" Wu Jun gritted his teeth. "My information is absolutely accurate! The target and the people around him are from the Chinese military! The entire capital knows it now!"

"fart!!"

Slo interrupted sharply:

"Do you know what the last piece of information the Mad God sent back was?!"

He said—besides the target, there were three highly skilled individuals of foreign appearance assisting him at the scene!

"Their tactical maneuvers and battlefield reactions... are completely unlike anything trained in the Chinese military system!!"

"Those are mercenaries! They forged their path through the wildest battlefields!!"

Wu Jun was stunned.

Foreign faces?

Mercenary approach?

How... is this possible?

On the other end of the phone, Sloan forcibly suppressed his anger, his voice becoming cold and urgent:

"Now is not the time to dwell on your mistakes."

"The strategist has given a death order—"

"If the target lives, we both die."

Wu Jun's heart sank suddenly.

"If the goal cannot be achieved in the short term..."

Sloan's voice was like a viper's tongue:

"Then... let's change the target."

"Doesn't your target have a younger sister?"

Wu Jun's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Listen, I don't care what method you use—"

Slow enunciated each word clearly:

"Immediately find out all the target sister's whereabouts, daily habits, and security situation."

"The strategist will personally arrange for people to go there."

"I will let you know once the plan is finalized."

"this time……"

Sloan's voice carried a chilling undertone:

"What if we fail again..."

"If I die, you won't have an easy time either."

"in addition--"

He paused:

"I'll send you a new phone right away using the 'ghost channel'."

"Dispose of this phone immediately."

"Remember—destroy completely."

"Beep beep beep..."

The call was abruptly ended.

Wu Jun sat there for three seconds, holding the phone that was already dialing a busy signal.

Then, he suddenly stood up and rushed to the bathroom.

He slammed the phone down onto the marble sink!

"Bang! Crack—!!"

The outer shell is shattered!

He pulled out the SIM card and melted it with a lighter.

They then disassembled the phone, throwing the battery, motherboard, and screen into the toilet and flushing them away.

Finally, he turned on the tap and scrubbed his hands vigorously, as if trying to wash away some unseen filth.

After doing all this.

He leaned against the sink, looking at his reflection in the mirror—a pale face, a bald head, and eyes filled with a mixture of fear and malice.

I took a deep breath.

"Zeng Lingyu..."

He murmured the name, a twisted, serpentine smile slowly curving his lips.

And at this moment—

Base operations room.

Xiaoya slowly took off her headphones.

Her face was expressionless.

Only those eyes, illuminated by the blue light of the screen, gleamed with an icy killing intent, enough to freeze the soul.

On the six main screens in front of her.

The complete call recording file has been generated and is labeled as [ZK-07B_Emergency Communication_Decryption Complete].

Slow's real-time geolocation has been locked onto a European country with an error range of fifty meters.

The AI-translated text of the call is scrolling rapidly, with keywords highlighted in red:

The Mad God has been silenced.

[Target's identity is questionable (linked to foreign mercenaries)]

[The strategist's order: If the target lives, we both die.]

[New Target: Zeng Lingyu (Target's Sister)]

[Plan to eliminate or kidnap]

Xiaoya slowly stood up.

She picked up the tactical tablet from the control panel, turned around, and walked toward the door of the operations room.

"I need to leave for a while."

Her voice was eerily calm:

"You continue to monitor the target, 24/7, without interruption."

Report any abnormalities immediately.

The door opened and then closed.

Xiaoya's footsteps quickly faded into the distance in the corridor.

She was going to the hospital with Ye Feng and the others.

We need to wait for the eldest brother to wake up.

then……

He personally dealt with these bastards who wanted to harm his sister...

One by one, they were dragged into hell.

Outside the window, the sky was gradually darkening.

But the real hunt...

We just got the list of prey.
