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

Professor Lin and his wife have gradually calmed down from their initial tension and curiosity.

But his gaze kept drifting toward the four mysterious rescuers.

Mrs. Lin's gaze fell particularly frequently on the young woman codenamed "Little Sparrow".

For some reason, this person always had their back to them—

The quiet girl reminded her of her long-lost daughter, Xiaoya.

She was determined to find out the truth and have a good talk with the young girl.

"Miss, would you like some water?"

Mrs. Lin asked softly, picking up an unopened bottle of mineral water and attempting to hand it over.

The little sparrow instinctively turned around and waved its hand in refusal:

"No need, thank you..." Just as she turned her head, because the cabin temperature was high, she slightly pulled down the zipper at her neckline.

At that very moment, Mrs. Lin's breathing suddenly stopped—

A familiar circular birthmark is clearly visible on the back of the little sparrow's neck.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Mrs. Lin's hands began to tremble, and the water bottle slipped from her fingers, spilling water all over the floor without her noticing.

Her eyes were wide open, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Xiao...Xiaoya?" Her voice trembled, almost as she spoke to herself, "Is it you? My child..."

The entire cabin fell silent immediately.

Zero, Coldthorn, and Ironclad immediately realized what had happened and exchanged tense glances.

The little sparrow froze, instinctively trying to pull up her collar, but it was too late.

Startled by his wife's unusual reaction, Professor Lin asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mrs. Lin did not answer her husband, but instead stood up shakily and walked towards the little sparrow:

"That birthmark... the round birthmark below and behind the right ear... Lao Lin, you know, my Xiaoya has one exactly the same..."

The little sparrow had its back to its parents, and its shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Zero stood up, seemingly wanting to intervene, but seeing the mixture of hope and pain on Madam Lin's face, he slowly sat back down.

"Eleven years..."

Mrs. Lin's voice choked with emotion:

"Your father and I have never given up looking for you..."

"We traveled all over the country, and even went abroad to inquire..."

"Every time someone suggests a possible lead, we rush there immediately..."

Even if it's only a one in ten thousand chance...

Professor Lin understood something at that moment, staring in shock at the little sparrow's retreating figure, his lips trembling but unable to utter a word.

"Do you know how much guilt your mother felt the day you went missing?"

Mrs. Lin's tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string:

"Just because of a moment's carelessness, you got separated from the crowd..."

"You were wearing a little red dress that day."

"She had two little braids."

"I'm still holding the cotton candy I just bought for you..."

The little sparrow's shoulders trembled even more noticeably, and suppressed sobs could be faintly heard.

"Over the years, not a single day has gone by that I haven't thought of you..."

"I wonder if you're doing well."

"I want to eat my fill. I want to know if anyone will bully me..."

Mrs. Lin was already sobbing uncontrollably:

"Your father appears strong on the surface, but I know that he often cries alone in his study late at night, looking at your photos..."

Professor Lin finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "Madam, please don't say anymore...it might just be a coincidence..."

"No! It's not a coincidence!" Mrs. Lin shook her head firmly.

"My mother's heart tells me, this is our daughter, Xiaoya!"

"That's why they came to rescue us!"

"Not because we are scientists from China, but because..."

"Because she is our daughter!"

Finally, the little sparrow slowly turned around.

She revealed a delicate face, but it was covered in tears.

Those eyes, so similar to Madam Lin's, were filled with eleven years of longing and pain.

"Mom..." She reached out her hand, trembling, and gently touched her mother's face.

"Don't say anymore... There's an osmanthus tree in the little yard; the whole yard smells wonderful in autumn. Mom would use osmanthus blossoms to make sweet cakes for me..."

"The little sparrow tearfully recounted its childhood..."

"I am Xiaoya..."

"Your lost daughter, Lin Xiaoya..."

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

Mrs. Lin suddenly covered her mouth:

"Xiaoya! It really is you!"

Mrs. Lin burst into tears and suddenly hugged her daughter tightly:

"My child! Mommy has found you! Mommy has finally found you!"

Professor Lin also staggered over, and the three of them embraced tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

The cabin echoed with the cries of a family reunited after eleven years.

Even tough guys like Zero, Cold Thorn, and Iron Dump were moved and silently turned their heads away.

After a long while, his emotions calmed down a little.

Little Sparrow—now she should be called Lin Xiaoya—

She gently wiped away her parents' tears, but she couldn't stop crying herself.

"Child, tell your mother, how have you been all these years? Who took you away? Have you suffered?"

Mrs. Lin cradled her daughter's face, eager to know everything.

Lin Xiaoya took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down:

"That day, after I was separated from the crowd, I was abducted by a group of human traffickers."

"They originally planned to take me, Irondum, and Coldthorn to Africa together..."

She paused, skipping over some overly cruel details:

"...Later, the Hellfire Mercenary Group accidentally saved us during an operation."

"The Baroque leader saw that I had some talent in electronic devices, so he took me in and trained me."

"And what about them..." Professor Lin looked at the three people, number zero.

Lin Xiaoya explained:

"We grew up and trained together in Hellfire; we're like family."

"Zero is an abandoned baby that the leader found next to a trash can."

Zero nodded and replied:

"The Baroque chief not only gave us a chance to survive, but also hired the best instructors to train us."

"Little Sparrow—Xiaoya has extraordinary talent in electronics and hacking."

"He quickly became an indispensable core member of the team."

Professor Lin and his wife looked at their daughter with a mixture of heartache and pride.

They couldn't imagine the suffering their daughter had endured over the years—

And how did he grow into such an outstanding expert?

"So, this rescue..." Professor Lin seemed to understand something.

"It was my request," Lin Xiaoya admitted.

"When I access news and intelligence networks—"

"I was devastated when I learned that you had been kidnapped by a terrorist organization."

"Zero and the team members agreed without hesitation to help me rescue you—"

"Even if it means being an enemy of the entire terrorist organization and certain countries."

Mrs. Lin looked gratefully at the three people, number zero:

"Thank you... not only for saving our lives, but also for protecting our daughter..."

Tie Dun smiled憨厚ly:

"Auntie, you're too kind! Sparrow is our little sister; her business is our business!"

Even Coldthorn showed a rare gentle expression:

"Hellfire and Squad Zero are one big family; family members don't need to say thank you."

Zero added:

"Xiaoya is now a world-class electronic warfare expert and hacker—"

"Many countries and organizations want to recruit her—"

"There are also some dark forces that want her dead."

"That's why she has to hide her identity, and she can't even acknowledge you as her."

Professor Lin looked at his daughter in shock:

"Xiaoya, is this true?"

"You...you really are that legendary 'ghost hacker'?"

"Single-handedly assisted in and successfully completed multiple SSS-rank missions?"

Lin Xiaoya nodded: "It's mostly the result of teamwork, not just my achievement."

Mrs. Lin held her daughter's hand tightly, both proud and worried:

"This is too dangerous! What if those bad guys...?"

"Mom, don't worry," Lin Xiaoya comforted her.

"I'm very careful, and I have Zero, the squad, and Hellfire protecting me."

"The work I do is important; it helps many people."

Professor Lin pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded:

"I understand... So you can't reveal your identity, and you can't come back to our country with us, right?"

Lin Xiaoya nodded painfully but firmly:

"Yes, Dad."

"Not at least not now."

"If my identity is exposed."

"Not only am I in trouble and danger."

"It will also implicate you and the entire team."

Mrs. Lin burst into tears again, but this time they were tears of understanding and acceptance:

"As long as I know you're alive and doing well, I'm content..."

"You can continue with your important work, just promise us you'll be careful and stay safe..."

"I promise you, Mom," Lin Xiaoya said, tightly holding her parents' hands.

"When the time is right, I will definitely come home to see you. And I will be able to contact you through safe channels."

Zero interjected at the opportune moment: "We will arrange a secure communication method so that you can contact each other regularly."

Just then, the pilot's voice came through the communicator: "Approaching the destination, please prepare."

Lin Xiaoya looked at her parents with reluctance:

"Mom and Dad, we're about to part ways. Someone will be there to take you back to China, but I have to continue my work. Please understand..."

Although Professor Lin and his wife were heartbroken, they still nodded resolutely.

They knew that their daughter was no longer the little girl who needed her parents' protection!

She has grown into a warrior capable of changing the world.

After the aircraft trim door opened—

Lin Xiaoya and her companions changed their disguises again!

Before parting, she hugged her parents one last time and whispered in her mother's ear:

"I love you, Mom. Wait for me to come back."

Then, she resolutely turned around and disappeared into the waiting vehicle with the members of Squad Zero.

As Professor Lin and his wife watched their daughter's departing figure, tears blurred their vision once again, but their hearts were filled with a joy and hope they had never felt in eleven years.

Their daughter is alive, and not only alive, she has become a hero.

And nobody in the world knows!

The "ghost hacker" who commands both respect and fear from governments and dark forces around the world!

She is actually Lin Xiaoya, the daughter of the hostage scientist from the Dragon Kingdom.

In this world full of danger and secrets—

Some family bonds, even when separated by thousands of miles, even when hidden in the deepest shadows, will never fade away.
