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

The aftershocks of Yan Rugo's triple killing scheme were still lingering.

The major wealthy families in Beijing held closed-door talks.

The Chen family's reflections, the Zeng family's decision, and the Yan family's considerations.

And the faction choices of various families.

This war without gunfire unfolded quietly...

In Mr. Chen's study, the mahogany furniture exudes the fragrance of time.

Old Master Chen sat upright in his armchair.

The eldest son, Chen Jiping, and the second son, Chen Jianjun, sat on either side.

Chen Yifeng stood respectfully to the side.

"Yifeng, you need to learn a lesson from this incident."

Old Master Chen spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful:

"You won your contest with Teng Ao very well."

"However, it involved too much family resources."

"Next, you need to learn how to use your own energy to solve problems."

Chen Jiping interjected:

"Father is right."

"The calculations for takeoff."

"It's definitely not something we parents would be proud of."

"If it's a fair and square contest, why resort to these underhanded tactics?"

Chen Jianjun was even more direct:

"Most importantly, you shouldn't have dragged that little girl from the Zeng family into this."

"If you hadn't used Xiaoyu as a pawn."

"It won't provoke a retaliation from that girl from the Yan family."

Old Master Chen nodded, his eyes sharp and piercing:

"That's exactly right."

"If you don't take action against Xiaoyu..."

"She unwittingly became a pawn in your scheme to strike at Teng Ao."

"Neither the Zeng family nor the Yan family will join forces to put you in a difficult position."

"Because everyone knows that the Teng family's youngest grandson is Teng Fei—"

"He treats the Zeng family girl as his Achilles' heel."

"Any male of Xiaoyu's generation who is close to her—"

"He'll lose his mind and turn into a roaring lion."

"Although you won against Teng Ao in the end."

"However, there are still many shortcomings in the application of these methods."

He changed the subject, his tone softening:

"But that's related to your age and experience."

"So regarding Yan's matter this time—"

"Neither your father, uncles, nor I interfered."

Do you know why?

Grandpa Chen looked at his grandson:

"Because this is a matter between you and Ru Ge."

"Whether you pursue her or use her as a pawn, it doesn't matter."

"These are just little incidents between you young people."

Even if we lose, it won't be a big deal.

Chen Jiping continued:

"Is it like a couple arguing, and we have to mobilize the entire clan?"

"Yifeng, you must remember this."

"True strength doesn't come from overwhelming opponents with family resources—"

"Instead, it's through their own abilities and wisdom."

Grandpa Chen concluded by saying:

"As for Xiao Wei's father's matter, I will step in and handle it after some time."

"You can decide what to do with Xiao Wei."

"You've grown up now; among the younger generation, there's truly no one who can rival you."

"However," the old man's tone turned serious:

"We need to broaden our horizons and have a wider perspective."

"The capital city is still too small for you."

Chen Yifeng bowed deeply:

"Grandson understands. Thank you for your teachings, Grandpa and Father."

As Chen Yifeng left the study, a new light shone in his eyes.

He understood that it was time to build his own team and power base.

At the same time, inside the Zeng family's old residence.

Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa Yan sat facing each other.

A heavy atmosphere permeated the air amidst the wafting aroma of tea.

"Old Zeng, is this really the right decision to make?"

Grandpa Yan's voice was hoarse, as if he had aged considerably overnight.

Grandpa Zeng sighed softly:

"This is what He Jing meant after contacting me several times."

"Ru Ge's actions in this incident fully demonstrated her abilities and intelligence."

We can't keep making her suffer like this.

"She's grown up; she has her own thoughts and decisions."

"But my Zeng family isn't fortunate enough to have that!"

"Ling Long's whereabouts remain unknown to this day, a wound that will forever remain in the Zeng family's heart."

He paused, his tone heavy:

"But I can't let this pain fall on Ruge's shoulders with my old bones."

"She deserves to have her own life and the right to make her own choices."

"So," Old Master Zeng took a deep breath:

"Let's call off the engagement. Otherwise, how can I face my old brother and Ru Ge?"

Grandpa Yan was silent for a moment:

"Is this what Zeng Sheng and He Jing both think?"

"Yes." Old Master Zeng nodded:

"I will announce the annulment of the engagement tomorrow."

"As for Ru Ge and Ling Long..."

"Let them decide for themselves after Linglong returns."

"Fate is predetermined."

After saying these words, Grandpa Zeng seemed to have aged even more, and his back was no longer straight.

Grandpa Yan gently patted his old friend's shoulder:

"Old brother, you have to hang in there."

"We will definitely find Xiaolong."

But he was worried:

"He Jing experienced the pain of her son being switched at birth and disappearing."

"Now that the engagement is being called off, how is she supposed to cope with this blow?"

The news quickly spread among the elite circles in Beijing.

The various families held private talks behind closed doors, planning the future direction of their renowned family.

The Zhao family study.

"Father, it seems the marriage alliance between the Zeng and Yan families is going to fall through."

Zhao Jianguo, the eldest son of the Zhao family, said.

Old Master Zhao pondered for a moment:

"That kid from the Chen family, although he suffered a loss this time."

"But that's just Yan girl."

"Anyone would have fought back, so he's definitely a character."

"One should be able to advance or retreat based on the advantages and disadvantages."

"Tell Mingxuan that he can appropriately align himself with Chen Yifeng."

"But that girl from the Yan family is no simple character either."

Zhao Jianguo hesitated.

But she is, after all, a woman, and she will eventually get married.

In addition, she used the resources of both the Yan and Zeng families this time.

It's impossible for this situation to happen again over such a trivial matter.

But "you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Old Master Zhao is shrewd and calculating:

"Have Mingxuan interact more with Chen Yifeng, and have Mingyu spend more time with Yan Rugo."

"No matter how the winds of change blow in the future, the Zhao family will always be able to stand firm."

The Su family's living room.

"Manqi, the play you performed with Ruge this time was brilliant."

Grandpa Su looked at his granddaughter with admiration.

Su Manqi smiled sweetly:

"Grandpa, Ru Ge is really amazing. I think the Su family should stand by her side."

Grandpa Su shook his head:

"No, the Su family must remain neutral."

"But you can spend more time with Ru Ge; that's also the Su family's attitude."

Tengjia Conference Room.

"Ao'er, you did a great job providing evidence for Ru Ge this time."

Grandpa Teng nodded in satisfaction:

"That silly boy Tengfei, if it weren't for Ru Ge's help, he would have really been outsmarted by Chen Yifeng this time."

Teng Ao chuckled lightly:

"Grandpa, I think Yan Rugo is worth investing in."

"She is not only intelligent, but also has a strong moral compass."

Grandpa Teng seemed to be deep in thought:

"You're right. Tell Tengfei to learn more from Ruge in the future."

At the same time, the younger generation in Beijing is also making their own choices.

Inside the private club on the top floor of the Chen Group building, Chen Yifeng was receiving several important "guests".

Thank you all for coming today.

Chen Yifeng raised his glass, his gaze sharp behind his gold-rimmed glasses:

"I'm sure everyone has heard about what's been happening lately."

Li Rui was the first to express his opinion:

"Brother Feng, this was just an accident."

"Yan Rugo is just a woman."

"Brother Feng was just giving in to her because he wanted to pursue her."

"So no matter how powerful she is, she can't turn the tide."

Xiao Wei's younger brother, Xiao Qiang, gritted his teeth:

"Brother Feng, my brother's matter can't be left like this! The Xiao family will always stand by your side!"

Several other scions of prominent families also expressed their support.

Chen Yifeng smiled slightly:

Thank you all for your trust.

"However, we must learn from this lesson."

"From now on, I need to be more... mindful of methods when doing things."

He pushed up his glasses:

"I plan to establish an elite association within the industry and invite everyone to join."

"We can share resources and help each other."

"Its name is Longjing Society."

"We also need a regular meeting place, named Longjing Club."

"Those who can enter here are all high-end elites in society and scions of powerful families."

"So I plan to have Xiao Wei manage the venue for the gathering; I've already chosen the location."

Everyone's eyes lit up—this was clearly an attempt to build their own team!

"Young Master Feng is wise!" everyone echoed in unison.

Chen Yifeng looked at the followers in front of him and thought to himself:

"Yan Ruge, do you think you're so great just because you won one game?"

"The real show has only just begun. The only one worthy of you is me, Chen Yifeng."

As night fell, the lights of the major families in the capital city were lit up one after another, but the impact of the matter was far from over.

At the Yan family's old house, Yan Ruge was reporting to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, the Zeng family has proposed to cancel the engagement. What do you think?"

Old Master Yan sighed:

"Brother Zeng had no other choice. Ru Ge, what do you think?"

Yan Ruge remained calm:

"I respect my great-grandfather's decision."

"At the same time, it was also something that was expected."

"However, I will continue to help search for Ling Long's whereabouts."

"Good boy." Old Master Yan nodded with satisfaction:

"But your leisurely days are over."

The Zeng family has canceled the engagement, but those prodigal sons in the capital are keeping a close eye on you.

Chen Yifeng, in particular, will definitely not let this go easily.

Yan Rugo's lips curled up slightly:

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

"I'd like to see who in this capital city can catch my eye."

As for Chen Yifeng, I don't deny his abilities.

"But it's still a bit lacking."

"The main problem is that he's too effeminate."

"The prince charming in Yan Rugo's heart—"

He must be a courageous, towering, and righteous hero.

Meanwhile, Chen Yifeng was in his study, looking at the map of the distribution of power in the capital on the wall.

"Young Master Feng, everything is arranged."

Li Rui reported in a low voice that the Longjing Society would be officially established next week.

Seventeen members of families within the industry have already expressed their intention to join.

Chen Yifeng nodded:

"Very good. Remember, we must learn from this experience and be more... skillful in our actions."

He pointed to several points on the document:

"Let's start with these places. We need to let everyone know that, ultimately, the capital belongs to the young."

The turmoil in Beijing's elite circles may seem to have subsided temporarily, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.

The older generation of leaders is beginning to reassess the abilities and potential of the younger generation.

The younger generation is actively seeking its place and allies.

Although Chen Yifeng suffered a temporary setback.

But this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the Zeng and Yan families canceled the engagement.

At the same time, it gave them the opportunity to build their own team.

Yan Rugo won the respect and recognition of various families with this brilliant counterattack.

The Zeng family's decision to cancel the engagement.

This adds new variables to this game.

The power structure of Beijing's elite circles is quietly changing, and a new era is about to begin.

In this war without gunfire—

Everyone is searching for their place.

Every family is planning for its own future.

And all of this is just the beginning...

The chess game in the capital is about to begin again.

The competition among the younger generation has only just begun.
