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

Following a hissing sound of electricity, a deliberately hushed yet incredibly clear conversation flowed from the miniature speaker, like a ghostly whisper in the deathly silent study—

[Male voice A (urgent tone)]: "You two, immediately disguise yourselves as you look in the photo! Documents and tickets are ready; we're taking off in three hours!"

That voice belongs to Wu Jun's assistant.

[Male voice B (stiff tone, filled with anger)]: "Baka! That idiot imposter! How much effort and risk did Sakura and I put in beforehand!

"In order to find a baby who closely resembled Zeng Sheng's son in appearance and birth time, the organization activated all its hidden networks in China. They finally found this imposter... but he brought it upon himself, becoming a vegetable and exposing himself!"

"As the organization's most elite mole in China, Sakura even had the Zeng family conduct a DNA test beforehand to cover her tracks. This was supposed to be a flawless switch, but the imposter exposed herself!"

The voice belonged to the middle-aged man who was tracking the imposter Zeng Linglong.

[Female voice (calmly)]: "Alright, now's not the time to complain. Hurry up and put on your makeup. We must leave Dragon Kingdom immediately, just before the Zeng family finds out!"

[Male voice A]: "Then hurry up! I can't stay any longer."

He paused, lowering his voice:

"Those hospital staff...smuggling them out secretly, is that alright?"

[Female voice (Sakurako)]: "Don't worry, they were all sent away in batches over the years. I guarantee that the Dragon Kingdom and the Zeng family will never find them, and they will never be able to speak."

There was a chilling cruelty in her voice:

"Hmph, if I hadn't deliberately lured them into making mistakes, caught them red-handed, and then promised them riches and glory... would these people have done something that could cost them their heads?"

"If you're dead, you're dead."

[Male voice A]: "Alright, as long as you leave, the trail will be gone. I can go back and report."

The recording abruptly stopped.

"hiss……"

Grandpa Chen Guoqing gasped deeply and silently!

My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat!

He stood frozen in place, his knuckles turning pale from gripping the recorder so tightly!

He didn't immediately check the blurry video, but slowly, very slowly...

He closed his eyes.

In my mind, it was like a storm was raging!

Every word in the recording was like a red-hot nail, hammering into his understanding!

Switched! Japanese influence! Organization! Hospital staff manipulated and silenced! Wu Jun's assistant's task completed!

All the fragments, pieced together, form a sinister and terrifying, profoundly plotted dark picture!

But then, an even deeper chill crept up my spine and up to the top of my head!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze no longer filled with shock, but with the unique insight of a seasoned politician—a keen awareness of all danger.

Coldness and trade-offs!

This document...

It's so shocking, and also so...hot!

It only reveals the fact of the "product swap" and some of the executors, but the most crucial questions—why the swap? Who is the mastermind behind it all? Did Wu Jun himself have direct knowledge of and participate in the scheme?—remain shrouded in mystery!

Without irrefutable evidence, Wu Jun is definitively implicated!

Based solely on an assistant's recording and blurry video, given the backlash from the Wu family, it could easily be dismissed as "the assistant's personal actions" or "being exploited by foreign forces."

This is... a double-edged sword!

If used well, it can be a sharp blade piercing the heart of the Wu family, bringing huge benefits to the Chen family, and even repairing relations with the Zeng family.

If not used properly... it could be a disaster that backfires and offends both the Wu and Zeng families!

not to mention……

Chen Guoqing's gaze, like that of the most stern judge, once again pierced Chen Yifeng, his voice chillingly cold:

"Yifeng..."

"If you had brought this out back when the counterfeit goods were first exposed and the Zeng family was investigating with all their might...

"Or, at least... tell me."

Every word he uttered struck Chen Yifeng's heart like a heavy hammer:

"That's an immense favor to the Zeng family! And a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Chen family!"

"But what about now?"

Old Master Chen gave a bitter laugh, filled with endless regret and helplessness:

"Take it out now...and give it to Zeng Xu?"

"What will he think? He'll think my Chen family knew all along but didn't report it! That we watched his grandson be switched for eighteen years! And that we even concealed the evidence at a crucial moment!"

"This isn't about favors...it's about grudges! It's a suspicion that can't be explained away!"

Chen Yifeng was so stung by his grandfather's gaze and words that he turned pale and swayed as if he were about to collapse.

Why didn't he say anything back then? Why did he hide it?

Fear? Yes, fear of his grandfather's punishment, fear of being drawn into the unfathomable vortex of the Zeng family.

Selfish motives? Yes, he wanted to hold onto this leverage to blackmail Wu Jun at some crucial moment in the future and gain benefits in return.

Naive? Absolutely! He couldn't see how deep the water was or how dangerous the game was!

And... a hint of disgust and schadenfreude towards the Zeng family and that "fake" made him choose to remain silent.

All the reasons seemed so pale, so...foolish, under his grandfather's cold gaze!

Looking at his grandson's pale face, Chen Guoqing finally let out a long sigh.

That sigh contained anger at their lack of ambition, helplessness in the face of fate, and a deep weariness in the face of a complex situation.

He put away the recorder and photos, locking them back into the file bag, his movements slow and heavy.

"This matter..."

Old Master Chen's voice regained its usual composure, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness:

That's all.

"You must never mention this to anyone again."

He stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the deep night outside, his back slightly hunched.

"I'll go see Mr. Wu another day."

"Let's see how things go...we'll decide later."

Chen Yifeng felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but also as if all his strength had been drained away. He staggered out of the study.

The door closed.

Chen Guoqing stood alone by the window, the light document bag in his hand now feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He knew that what he held was more than just a piece of evidence.

It's also something that... could trigger an even bigger storm—

switch.
