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

Although Zeng Sheng forcibly suppressed the conflict in the Zeng family garden.

However, the ripples it caused spread at an astonishing speed within specific circles in the capital.

The second young master of the Teng family angrily swung his fist for the sake of his beloved.

The target was still Li Rui, who was heavily favored by his father in the Li family.

This news is enough to keep onlookers entertained for days.

Tengfei was summoned home by his father with a stern phone call, and dejectedly faced the storm.

Although Teng's father was annoyed by his son's impulsiveness, he was even angrier that his son was being used as a pawn without realizing it.

Tengfei, who received a thorough scolding, was placed under house arrest for reflection.

However, the effects of this incident went far beyond that.

The following day, at the Tengjia Group headquarters, in the top-floor office.

A private plane quietly landed at the Capital Airport.

Soon after, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into the underground parking garage of the Tengshi Group building.

The elevator went straight to the top floor, where a young man in a bespoke Italian suit, exuding a powerful aura, strode out.

His face bears a resemblance to Tengfei.

But the lines are more rugged and austere, and the eyes are sharp like an eagle's.

He exuded an oppressive aura of someone who had long held a superior position.

It was Tengfei's older brother.

A massive acquisition has just been completed in Europe—

And officially took over the core technology sectors of the family's drones and smart chips—

Teng Ao.

He also owns the Yuetingyuan Club in Beijing, which mainly provides a gathering place for people in the industry.

Tengao just finished a brief meeting with senior executives of the group—

The secretary then quietly reported what had happened to Tengfei at the Zeng family.

Teng Ao's brows furrowed instantly, and he waved for his secretary to leave.

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling scenery of the capital, but his eyes were icy cold.

"Chen Yifeng..."

He murmured the name, a cold smile curving his lips:

"While I was away, some people thought they could manipulate the Teng family at will?"

"They even set their sights on Xiaoyu?"

He immediately made several phone calls and used his information network.

In less than half an hour.

A detailed account of yesterday's events—

And recently, Chen Yifeng, Teng Fei, Zeng Lingyu, and Yan Rugo—

A report on the delicate relationship between them—

It was placed on his desk.

Teng Ao quickly finished browsing the report and abruptly closed it.

"idiot!"

He muttered a curse at his brother, but his tone was more of an angry outburst of offense.

"Chen Yifeng, is this the only low-level trick you can play—sowing discord and using others to do your dirty work?"

"You've set your sights on the Teng family and even want to interfere in the Zeng family's affairs. You've got quite the appetite."

He saw it very clearly:

Chen Yifeng used Li Rui and Xiao Wei to provoke Tengfei, partly to strike at his love rival.

Because Tengfei's pursuit of Zeng Lingyu was common knowledge.

Secondly, it was an attempt to create conflict between the Teng family and the Li family.

The department where Li Rui's father works does indeed have an impact on some of Teng family's businesses.

Thirdly, it could also tarnish Tengfei's image in front of Zeng Sheng.

This can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

"Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong person."

A sharp glint, common in the business world, flashed in Teng Ao's eyes.

"No matter how useless Tengfei is, it's not your Chen family's place to lecture him."

He picked up the internal phone:

"Prepare the car, let's go back to the villa."

"Furthermore, in my name, I'd like to invite Director Li (Li Rui's father) to play golf tomorrow morning—"

"Just tell him I've acquired a new cake of fine tea and invite him to try it."

On the same day, at the Zeng family's residence.

Yan Rugo and Zeng Lingyu also soon learned of Teng Ao's return.

And his swift and decisive action in meeting with Li Rui's father.

Zeng Lingyu was somewhat surprised:

"Teng Ao is moving so fast! Is he going to clean up Teng Fei's mess?"

Yan Ruge pondered for a moment, her eyes revealing both admiration and a hint of new consideration:

"Teng Ao and Teng Fei are completely different."

"He is a true business hunter, with a sharp eye and superb methods."

"His meeting with Li's father was definitely not just a simple matter of apologizing."

"It's very likely that they're going to clarify the facts and exert pressure."

"We might even be able to negotiate a deal to completely nip any potential trouble the Li family might cause in the bud—"

"And precisely redirected the blame back to Chen Yifeng."

The two went to He Jing's room again.

He Jing's complexion was slightly better than yesterday.

I was looking at financial news about Teng Ao returning to China to take over the family business.

"Auntie," Yan Ruge said with a smile, the situation had taken a new turn.

Teng Ao is back, and he has clearly seen through Chen Yifeng's tricks and has begun to take action.

He Jing put down the tablet and nodded:

"Teng Ao is one of the few sensible people among the younger generation. He is both decisive and methodical in his actions."

"With him involved, things should calm down with the Li family soon."

"Chen Yifeng has really messed with the wrong person this time."

"So, Auntie, Lingyu."

Yan Ruge lowered her voice:

"Should we still prepare our original 'little plan'?"

"Teng Ao's involvement might expose our plan."

Zeng Lingyu thought for a moment and said:

"If they've seen through it, they have. At least Xiao Chen Yifeng won't make a fuss about it anymore."

"Then proceed as planned, but the intensity and method can be adjusted."

Yan Ruge was confident:

"First of all, Ling Yu, you 'reluctantly' agreed to be Tengfei's date at his birthday banquet."

"Should we still agree to his request?"

Zeng Lingyu pouted.

"Mm." Yan Ruge nodded.

"But this is no longer just a shield."

"You need to act a little 'dependent' on him."

"It could even be done 'casually' at the birthday banquet—"

"Let me reveal a little about the 'trouble' that Chen Yifeng and Li Rui are pressing us step by step."

"Tengfei's impulsive nature, coupled with his brother's return, gives him even more confidence."

"He will definitely jump out and target Chen Yifeng even more fiercely."

"Secondly, I will still give Chen Yifeng some vague hope."

"Let him become engrossed in his own chess game."

"The last, and most crucial, step..."

Yan Ruge looked at He Jing:

"Auntie, news was released at the birthday banquet that there has been progress in the search for Linglong."

"The timing needs to be clever."

"Ideally, it would be when Teng Ao and Chen Yifeng might have a verbal confrontation."

"Or when the atmosphere is rather delicate."

"It was brought up 'naturally' by you or Uncle Zeng."

"This news will be like a boulder thrown into a lake."

"It can not only serve as a warning to Chen Yifeng, but also remind others to be mindful of boundaries."

"This will better reassure you and demonstrate the stance of both our families."

He Jing pondered carefully, then slowly smiled:

"Okay! Ruge."

"This way, Chen Yifeng will also be more restrained."

"Most importantly, once Linglong's news is released, everyone's attention will be diverted."

"Chen Yifeng's previous schemes will seem both ridiculous and embarrassing."

"And Tengfei will also tone down his pursuit of Lingyu a bit."

"After all, you are all still young, and your studies should be your priority right now."

At this moment, at Chen Yifeng's place.

Chen Yifeng also learned that Teng Ao had returned and arranged to meet with Li's father.

He stood in his meticulously decorated study.

He stared at the huge map of power dynamics in the capital on the wall, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.

"Teng Ao... is back so soon?"

He muttered to himself, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table:

"They entered the game much faster than I expected. It seems the game is about to become a bit more difficult."

He wasn't too afraid; instead, he showed a hint of excitement at meeting a worthy opponent.

"A business tycoon? That's fine too."

"In a purely business game, I, Chen Yifeng, may not necessarily lose."

"This will be a good opportunity for Ru Ge to see who is the man who can truly control the situation."

"The birthday banquet... is getting more and more interesting."

Teng Ao, after having a meeting with Li's father that no one knew about...

Mr. Li's expression turned serious, and he immediately tightened his control over his son.

then.

Teng Ao then went directly to the Zeng family.

He visited He Jing under the guise of a junior visiting her.

I had a brief but pleasant conversation with Zeng Sheng and He Jing, and my words were very tactful.

This expressed his apology for his younger brother's recklessness.

It also subtly points out the fact that someone is deliberately sowing discord, demonstrating the Teng family's sincerity and confidence.

As he was leaving the Zeng family, he ran into Yan Rugo and Zeng Lingyu, who had just returned, at the door.

Teng Ao nodded politely in greeting:

"Ru Ge, it's been a long time."

He then looked at Zeng Lingyu.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaofei has caused you trouble. I've already disciplined him."

His tone carried an unquestionable sense of protection.

It was as if he was apologizing on behalf of his younger brother.

It also seemed like a declaration of the Teng family's high regard for Zeng Lingyu.

Yan Rugo responded with a smile:

"Mr. Teng, you flatter me."

She keenly sensed that Teng Ao's glance at her was full of scrutiny and assessment.

A new force has entered the game, and the chess game in the capital has become more complex and subtle due to the addition of Teng Ao as a variable.

Old Zhao's birthday banquet was destined to be anything but a simple celebration; it would become a stage for various forces to secretly vie for power.
