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

Meanwhile, at another private hospital, a special isolation ward.

Chen Yifeng lay in the hospital bed.

His complexion was sallow, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were chapped.

He wasn't asleep at all.

The moment I close my eyes, all I see is that grotesque, fanged face, that "pill" forcibly shoved into my mouth, and the increasingly terrible news from the overseas family business.

His phone screen was lit up.

The above is a message his grandfather sent this morning:

[Yi Feng, Wu Jun, and Wu Chen are also in trouble, the method is the same. It must have been Zeng Linglong's men.]

Chen Yifeng stared intently at the screen.

His fingernails dug deep into his palm, drawing blood that stained the snow-white sheets.

He was going through a fierce internal struggle.

Fear: Will that "shadow" return? What exactly is the pill I swallowed? Will I really die from the poison in seven days?

Outrage: Zeng Linglong! How dare you be so arrogant! How dare you retaliate like this!

Regret: If... if I had taken that top-secret information about the switch case from eighteen years ago and handed it directly to Zeng Linglong, would his bargaining chips and benefits have been any less...?

Weighing the pros and cons: the family's overseas businesses have virtually ground to a halt, and loved ones are in grave danger. That clue is now the only thing that might turn the tide. But how to use it? To whom should it be given? Will Zeng Linglong still believe it?

A voice screamed in his heart: You missed the best opportunity! If you had brought it out earlier, you would have been a lifesaver! What is it now? Forced to compromise? Or begging for mercy?

Another voice sneered: "Do you think someone like Zeng Linglong, who crawled out of hell, would accept your compromise? He'll just grind you and Wu Jun into dust!"

Since you, Chen Yifeng, have already possessed such crucial information, why didn't you reveal it beforehand? What are your intentions?

"ah--!!"

Chen Yifeng let out a painful growl, clutched his head with both hands, and curled up into a ball.

He knew he had made a fatal mistake.

That clue could have been his only ticket to Zeng Linglong's forbidden circle.

Becoming Zeng Linglong's "friend," even if it's just a friendship based on mutual benefit, would be the highest level of benefit and protection Chen Yifeng could obtain!

but now……

It was all too late.

"Bang!"

The ward door was violently pushed open!

Not a doctor, not a nurse.

It was Fang Rong and Tang Long.

Both men were dressed in black special forces uniforms, with cold eyes, and were followed by four heavily armed soldiers.

Chen Yifeng looked up abruptly, and the moment he saw them, the last trace of color drained from his face.

"Chen Yifeng".

Fang Rong's voice was devoid of any warmth:

"You are suspected of endangering national security and assisting foreign forces. We are now carrying out a military arrest on you."

"stand up."

Chen Yifeng opened his mouth, as if to say something.

He wanted to explain, to beg for mercy, to bring up his family, and even to immediately reveal the clue in exchange...

But Tang Long impatiently stepped forward and pulled him off the hospital bed!

The actions were brutal and merciless.

Chen Yifeng was still wearing his hospital gown when he was pulled so hard that he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The cold ground pressed against his skin, and the chill instantly penetrated to his bones.

Two soldiers stepped forward, lifted him up, tied his hands behind his back, and put a black hood over his head.

The moment his sight was taken away, boundless darkness and fear completely engulfed him.

He knew that he didn't even have a final chance to negotiate...

The same scene played out almost simultaneously in several other hospitals.

Wu Chen, Wu Qian, Liu Sheng, He Ziming...

These scions of wealthy families, who had spent the previous night in terror, hadn't even emerged from the shadow of "mysterious care" when they were met with something even colder and more irresistible—

Operation Thunder.

Fully armed soldiers, brutal arrests, and orders that left no room for argument.

Their bodyguards, assistants, and even private doctors, as long as they were present, were all taken away!

There was no explanation, no paperwork, only the cold muzzle of a gun and even colder eyes.

It's late at night, 11 p.m.

The news that six core members of top wealthy families, along with dozens of their entourage, were violently arrested by military special forces at the same time—

Like a Category 12 hurricane that struck without warning, it swept through the highest echelons of the capital city with explosive speed!

My phone was ringing off the hook!

Information is being transmitted like wildfire!

Everyone who was qualified to know this news was immediately awakened!

The study in a luxury mansion.

A middle-aged man held the microphone, his hand trembling violently, his voice hoarse:

"Are you...are you sure? Wu Jun, Chen Yifeng...are they all arrested? Zeng Linglong's men acted directly?...Why? What's the reason?!"

A top-tier private room at a certain club.

Several scions of prominent families who were discussing business had their phones ring at the same time.

After receiving the call, everyone turned pale, looked at each other in dismay, and dropped their wine glasses on the ground with a "clatter," shattering them into pieces.

The private room was deathly silent.

"He...is awake."

Someone uttered three words dryly.

"Not only did he wake up... he also took action."

The other person's voice trembled:

"This isn't a small-scale operation... it's a massive, swift operation! It's a top-level military operation! They even arrested Wu Jun!"

"What is he trying to do?! Has he gone mad?! Attacking four top-tier wealthy families at the same time—the Wu family, the Liu family, the He family, and the Chen family?! Doesn't he know what this means?!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, a cold sensation shooting from their feet to the top of their heads.

Chaos.

Complete chaos.

The sleeping dragon awoke without roaring or making any announcement.

He simply and silently, in the deepest night of the capital, dropped six—no, six—enough to shatter the old order—

Depth charges!

This is no longer a revenge for a personal grudge.

This is a storm! A storm ignited by individual will!

The wind direction has completely changed.

It became chilling, bone-chilling, and... unpredictable and impossible to resist.

Those families who were previously observing, weighing their options, or even secretly gloating, are now all silent in fear.

They realized that the man who had returned from hell, without relying on family connections, but solely on his own strength and the group of fanatical followers around him—

It has already shaken the powerful and influential families of Beijing, whose influence has been deeply entrenched and seemingly unbreakable for decades—

Foundation!

night, deeper.

The wind grew colder.

And this tumultuous wave unleashed by the awakening of the dragon—

The operation was launched with a swift and decisive arrest.

As for when it will end—nobody knows.
