The high-speed train continued to speed steadily across the plain, and the stench of blood inside the carriage had long been diluted and cleaned by the powerful ventilation system.

Liu Ming leaned back in his soft chair, closing his eyes to rest. Unbeknownst to him, just ten minutes earlier, every second that happened in this train carriage had, through the lens of a high-definition Huawei phone, transcended the limitations of physical space, unleashing a tsunami on the Chinese internet powerful enough to overturn servers.

The poster was a young girl named "Little Transparent Big Dreams," who was sitting diagonally behind Liu Ming at the time.

She originally just wanted to document the man's misconduct and expose it online. Little did she expect that the camera would capture a moment that would put any action movie director to shame.

The video is only 58 seconds long.

The first half of the video features the arrogant roar of the bald, tattooed man and his rough shoving of the elderly professor and flight attendants. The overwhelming aggression made everyone who watched the video instinctively raise their fists.

However, just as the progress bar reached the thirtieth second, the style of the scene suddenly changed.

The young man who had been sitting in seat 05A, always keeping a low profile like a background figure, stood up.

He didn't roar.

No nonsense.

With an extremely elegant yet chilling movement, he easily snapped the other person's hand bones.

The most stunning moment was that final side kick.

In the video, the young man's leg moved so fast it almost left a blur. The burly man, over 1.8 meters tall and weighing over 200 kilograms, was like a weightless plastic doll in front of that kick, flying straight through the air.

The video ends with a profile shot of the young man bending down to pick up the old professor's pen.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating his clean-cut features.

That moment of tenderness.

Compared to the violence of the previous second.

This creates an extreme contrast that sends adrenaline soaring.

The video topped the trending lists on Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu.

The title is simple and direct: "A righteous hero appears on the high-speed rail, kicking the arrogant man who refused to give up his seat to death."

……

At this moment, Chen Momo, sitting opposite Liu Ming, was scrolling through her phone listlessly.

Suddenly, her fingers froze.

"Director...Director, look at this..."

Chen Momo handed the phone to Liu Ming, her voice trembling with disbelief.

Liu Ming opened her eyes and glanced at the screen.

The comment section under the video has completely exploded.

Holy crap! That legwork... you couldn't learn it without at least ten years of special forces combat training! It's fucking awesome!

[Please! I need all the information about this man within three minutes! This is a true Chinese tough guy, a million times better than those pretty boys with powdered faces!]

Did no one notice his suit? It's Armani haute couture, starting at least at 30,000 yuan. That aura... he's definitely not just some ordinary passerby.

Looking into his eyes, and in that final moment when he took off his glasses, I felt like I was being stared at by the Grim Reaper; I wanted to kneel down even through the screen.

Liu Ming rubbed his temples helplessly and said with a wry smile, "It's a shame this batch of passengers isn't becoming paparazzi."

"Director, you've become the internet's heartthrob." Chen Momo blushed slightly as she looked at the frenzied declarations of love in the comments. "However, I'm afraid your identity can't be kept secret anymore. The internet's ability to dox people these days... is terrifying."

Chen Momo had just finished speaking.

In the comments section below the video, a long comment suddenly appeared and was pushed to the top.

The poster is an account verified as "a senior media professional in Ningzhou".

[Holy crap! Guys! I recognize him! This isn't just some random hero, he's the pride of Jiangnan Province! Liu Ming, the director of Ningzhou High-tech Zone!]

Immediately afterwards, the comments section was bombarded with what seemed like a nuclear bomb.

[Liu Ming? The ruthless Liu Ming who brought back 10 billion yuan in investment and brought down the executive vice mayor?]

[That's right! It's him! Did you see the official document issued by the provincial government yesterday? He was just promoted to deputy director-general level and is being transferred to Beijing to serve as the director of the High-Tech Industry Department of the National Development and Reform Commission!]

[My god... a 30-year-old director-general level official? He can fight like this? Is this some kind of wish-fulfillment novel protagonist descended into reality?]

When those two train police officers saluted him, I thought he was an undercover instructor, but it turns out he's a high-ranking official!

The fireball of public opinion is getting bigger and bigger.

In just half an hour, the topic had escalated from "heroic act on the high-speed rail" to "revealing the most handsome and hardcore director in China".

Netizens have unearthed photos of him fighting against local bullies in Qingyun County.

A video of his speech at the opening ceremony of the Ningzhou International Marathon has been unearthed.

His prestigious university degree, which is dazzling enough to dazzle everyone, has been revealed.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

In this appearance-obsessed era.

In this era that reveres strength.

In this era that yearns for justice.

Liu Ming.

This name no longer simply represents an official.

He became a symbol.

A symbol representing the pinnacle of the younger generation of public officials, possessing both academic genius and iron-fisted methods.

……

Kyoto, West Second Ring Road, National Development and Reform Commission building.

Even before officially taking office, Liu Ming's name was already spreading like wildfire in every office.

"Old Zhao, did you see that video?"

A department head approached Zhao Ruihu's office, holding up his phone with an extremely strange expression.

"This is the young man who's about to take over the High-Tech Division. That kick...tsk tsk, that's interesting."

Zhao Ruihu sat in his executive chair, looking at the young man on the screen picking up a pen in front of the camera, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

Having cultivated his career in Kyoto's officialdom for many years, he had the utmost contempt for young men who liked to engage in individual heroism.

But he had to admit it.

The aura of the person in the video made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

That kind of ruthless and decisive look can only be found in someone who has actually killed people and crawled out of piles of corpses.

"He's just a brute who knows a little bit of martial arts."

Zhao Ruihu snorted coldly, slammed his phone on the table, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Kyoto is not some small ditch like Ningzhou. Here, seniority, methods, and connections matter. Once he gets into this building, I'll show him what it means to be a high-ranking official who can crush you."

But he was also very clear about it in his heart.

This overwhelming public opinion and attention is an extremely bad sign for him.

Liu Ming now.

Before even stepping inside, they were already at the forefront of public opinion.

……

5:20 PM.

The train slowly pulled into Beijing South Railway Station.

Liu Ming picked up the simple tactical backpack and gestured for Chen Momo to follow.

"Director, there seem to be a lot of reporters outside."

Chen Momo looked out the window at the media with their long lenses and microphones on the platform, and nervously clenched the corner of her clothes.

"Ignore them."

Liu Ming straightened his collar, put his glasses back on, and concealed the sharp, cold glint in the depths of his eyes.

"Use the special lane. Old Lin's car is already waiting outside."

At this moment, Liu Ming felt no joy at becoming an overnight sensation.

in contrast.

His gaze grew increasingly cold and solemn.

The whole city is in turmoil.

The entire internet erupted in cheers.

For him, it was both a help and a huge constraint.

he knows.

From the moment he stepped off the platform, every step he took represented not only himself, but also the vast Lin faction behind him, and the will of the higher-ups who placed high hopes on him.

He had nowhere left to retreat.

……

As I exited the South Station, a black Hongqi sedan was quietly parked under the shade of a tree.

A tall, imposing officer stepped forward and gave Liu Ming a standard military salute.

"Director Liu, Elder Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."

Liu Ming returned the salute, her movements even more precise than the other person's.

"Let's go."

The car door closed.

The Hongqi sedan glided into the dense traffic of Kyoto, like a black dragon swimming into the deep sea.

On various social media platforms.

The topic of Liu Ming is still trending wildly online.

[The most powerful director-general in Chinese history!]

You may doubt his governing ability, but you must never doubt his fighting spirit.

Who would dare take his seat? They'd probably be tired of living.

This is what a Chinese man should be like: capable of governing the country with his wisdom and defending it with his strength!

Liu Ming leaned back in her chair, looking at the string of glaring trending headlines in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

He turned his head and looked at the solemn and sacred area with red walls and green tiles not far away.

There.

That was his final battlefield.

"Director, you're famous now." Li Erniu chuckled sheepishly from the front.

Liu Ming took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and gazed at the deep night outside the window.

Becoming famous isn't necessarily a good thing.

"Those old foxes hiding in the shadows are probably looking at me with a magnifying glass right now."

A wild and confident smile curved his lips.

"but."

"Now that the fire has been started..."

"Then I'll let it burn away the fog in Kyoto completely."

At this moment, the entire internet is in an uproar.

In this era filled with calculation and compromise.

Liu Ming.

He was officially hailed as "the most hardcore and handsome high-ranking official in Chinese history".

This title is somewhat exaggerated.

But Liu Ming knew.

In the days to come.

He will use real blood and fire.

Prove it to the world.

This.

only.

It's a beginning.

"Old Li, drive faster."

Liu Ming looked at the red wall hidden in the bright lights, his voice low and powerful.

"Don't keep the old man waiting."
