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

"What...?!"

This time, the three elderly men in the palace truly sprang up from their chairs at the same time!

It's not an act!

The absurdity on the elderly man's face vanished instantly, replaced by an urgent and angry feeling that "things are about to go wrong."

"Who approved this?! Who authorized the investigation of General Zeng Sheng?!"

"What is his status?! Did you follow the proper procedures?! Did you get the necessary approvals?!"

The elderly man on the left, wearing glasses, also became anxious and spoke rapidly:

"You even sent people to the hospital to arrest Zeng Lingyu?!"

"Do you even know what the situation is like there right now?!"

"That's where Zeng Linglong was recuperating! It's been designated a military control zone! It's packed with heavily armed trainees who just came back from hellish training!"

"Those soldiers now only recognize Zeng Linglong! They only listen to Zeng Linglong! Because Zeng Linglong is their head instructor! He's the god who led them through hellish trials, constantly making them stronger!"

He pointed at Old Master Wu, his finger trembling:

"You sent the investigation team to arrest his sister?!"

"He's still seething with anger! You'd be lucky if he didn't turn around and arrest your entire investigation team and execute them as enemy agents!"

More importantly, all three elders in the palace knew this!

General Liu had already briefed the three of them on intelligence in the early stages:

"An overseas 'cosmic' organization is planning to eliminate or kidnap Zeng Lingyu!"

"Zeng Linglong kept his sister by his side for absolute protection!"

"Now, the investigation team is going to take his sister away on a ridiculous, fabricated charge..."

"Zeng Linglong will absolutely label them as 'suspected of colluding with foreign terrorist forces' and 'intending to assist in kidnapping'!"

"By then, even a god couldn't save those people!"

"because--"

"Zeng Linglong had already reported this reason! It's reasonable, legal, and flawless!"

The old man in the middle looked at them, still looking smug, and sighed deeply and helplessly.

He walked back to his seat, sat down slowly, pointed at them with his finger, and said in a tone full of "ridicule and sigh":

"You guys...you guys..."

"We were all tricked by Old Zeng."

"From beginning to end, this was an open conspiracy! A trap laid bare under the sun, crystal clear!"

He paused, looking at the four old faces that were gradually losing their color:

"However! Since Elder Zeng and Zeng Linglong have set up this trap and made you fall for it!"

"I guess Zeng Linglong has already decided to reveal his identity as the 'behind-the-scenes boss of Longyu Group'."

"Have you also been stirring up public opinion online to attack the Zeng family?"

Grandpa Wu nodded subconsciously, his eyes beginning to glaze over.

"Hurry up!"

The elderly man in the middle suddenly raised his voice:

"Immediately! Right now! Have everyone delete all related messages, posts, and articles—completely and thoroughly!"

"Otherwise, if public opinion escalates, Zeng Linglong will have no choice but to reveal his identity: he is the true and sole behind-the-scenes boss of Longyu Group. This time, Longyu's withdrawal of investment was unavoidable..."

"Because it was your Wu family, Chen family, He family, and Liu family who joined forces to suppress and unfairly treat everyone in the Zeng family!"

"Old Zeng, as long as you point out that the Zeng family has already been disheartened, generations of them have devoted themselves to the country and served the nation with utmost loyalty. Even his grandson is contributing to the country and the people in business. Yet, despite all that they have done, your families are still suppressing the Zeng family."

"I believe that the withdrawal of Longyu Group's investment will be recognized and sympathized with by all the people of the entire Longguo."

"Why invest when your whole family has been taken down?"

"Why bother with affordable hospitals?"

"At that time, all the people of the entire Dragon Kingdom—including the local government—will concentrate all their resentment on your few families..."

His gaze, like a cold blade, swept across the four people:

"You and your families will be forever condemned by the spittle of millions of people—to be nailed to the pillar of national shame!"

"Forever, they will never be able to rise again!"

The four old men, Wu, Chen, He, and Liu, all gasped in shock!

The blood in my body seemed to freeze instantly!

Seeing their stunned expressions, the elderly man in the middle softened his tone, his voice carrying a complex meaning:

"fine……"

"It seems that Elder Zeng has not yet decided to exterminate you all."

"He's waiting for our internal statement."

"Otherwise, he would have retaliated as soon as you posted the message online before you arrived!"

"We're also waiting for you to come to your senses."

"Otherwise, given his temper and Zeng Linglong's methods..."

He didn't say anything more.

But all four old men understood.

"boom--!!!"

Like a thunderbolt from the heavens, it finally shattered the fog in their minds!

All clues, all inconsistencies, all doubts—

In an instant, everything was connected!

Zeng Linglong! He is the true and sole boss of Longyu Group!

That five billion! It was the allowance the older brother gave to his younger sister!

Longyu withdrew its investment! The boss was unhappy because his company was being bullied, so he decided to quit!

All their accusations, all their investigations, all their media attacks...

They are all in—

It's firing wildly at the air!

All of this was a trap that Zeng Rong, that old scoundrel, had dug long ago, just waiting for them to fall into it!

However, they actually jumped, and like divers, they did a somersault in the air—and then headfirst—and jumped into the trap in a fancy way.

Looking back—

Zeng Rong was sitting by the pit he had dug, cracking sunflower seeds and watching them with a smile as they hopped around happily in the pit!

"Thump!"

Old Master Chen Guoqing's legs went weak, and he slumped back into his chair, his face ashen and deathly pale.

Grandpa He Minquan's lips trembled; he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Grandpa Liu Xingguang held his head in his hands, his fingers digging deep into his white hair.

Mr. Wu Jingzhong stood straight, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, his pupils unfocused, as if his soul had been ripped from his body by those words.

"Go...go...!"

He suddenly squeezed out a few broken syllables from his throat, then abruptly turned around!

Stumbling and staggering, as if drunk, he rushed towards the conference room door!

He even forgot to say goodbye to his superiors!

The other three old men also seemed to wake up from a dream, and scrambled to catch up, their backs looking as panicked as stray dogs!

They must delete all information online immediately!

That's not like cutting Zeng Rong!

That was in—

He picked up the knife and pointed it at his own heart.

Hard,

Stab it!

And fearing that he hadn't stabbed deep enough or hard enough, he even spun the knife around twice with the handle!

In the end, he stabbed himself in the back, leaving him utterly devastated...

"To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself..."

In the conference room, someone watched their disheveled retreat and muttered this sentence in a very low voice.

"..."

A dead silence.

then.

"Pfft..."

I don't know who couldn't hold back first.

Immediately afterwards, the three elderly men from the Imperial Palace shook their heads and chuckled, their shoulders shrug slightly.

That smile contained helplessness,感慨, and above all, a sense of...

Having witnessed a textbook example of "political suicide,"

Absurdity and lament.

Meanwhile, at the hospital...

The real show is probably only just beginning.
