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

The lead policeman swallowed hard, his voice stammering:

"Who...who are you? You're armed and attacking us; that's a serious crime. I advise you to stop immediately, there's still time."

Lone Wolf and his six teammates picked up the pistols from the ground with the ease of picking up fallen leaves.

Then Lone Wolf said to the leading policeman, "Are you in charge?" The policeman frowned, then nodded.

Zeng Linglong looked at him coldly and ordered again, "Bring him here."

Lone Wolf chuckled and looked at the leading policeman:

"Come on, our boss wants you to go over there. We hope you cooperate, or you'll definitely regret it."

That smile was like the smile of death itself.

The lead policeman approached Zeng Linglong from under Lone Wolf's gun.

Zeng Linglong pointed his pistol at Liang Yuan on the ground and looked at the police: "You two know each other?"

The lead police officer immediately responded, "I don't know him."

Zeng Linglong chuckled coldly:

"You arrived so quickly, and with so many police officers. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Also, remember this: when you stormed in, you said, 'Release General Manager Liang.' Everyone here is listening. Who is General Manager Liang? Tell me!"

The lead policeman frowned even more deeply, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zeng Linglong fired another shot at Liang Yuan's left leg—"Bang!" The bullet pierced through his calf, and Liang Yuan screamed again, his body curling up like a shrimp.

Zeng Linglong stood in front of him, looking down at him:

"You think you're all that in Tiankun City? You have bodyguards, gangsters, and all these police officers protecting you."

"But you shouldn't have messed with my woman. What you just said has completely enraged me—so they can't protect you."

Liang Yuan glared at Zeng Linglong with malice, his eyes filled with resentment:

"You can kill me now, but you'll all pay with your lives! My brother won't let you get away with this, and neither will these cops!"

"Bang—!" The answer to him was not Zeng Linglong's voice, but the bullet in Zeng Linglong's gun.

The bullet pierced his right arm, and the sound of bones shattering could be faintly heard.

"Ah—!" Liang Yuan was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. His whole body was convulsing, and sweat mixed with blood was flowing all over the ground.

Zeng Linglong's tone remained calm:

"You were doomed the moment you harbored ill intentions towards my woman."

"All your related forces will be destroyed. I have no intention of letting you go."

He shook his head slightly. "Take out his phone and make him tell me his password."

Tyrannosaurus Rex approached Liang Yuan and took his phone out of his pocket.

He then pointed the gun at Liang Yuan's head, his voice like the pronouncement of death:

"You have ten seconds to say the password. Ten, nine, eight, seven—"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Liang Yuan said defiantly, but he couldn't withstand the murderous aura from Zeng Linglong and Tyrannosaurus Rex, and quickly revealed the password.

Tyrannosaurus handed the phone to Zeng Linglong.

Zeng Linglong picked up his phone to unlock it and asked Liang Yuan, "What's your name?"

"Brother-in-law, he said his name is Liang Yuan," Yan Hai added from the side.

Zeng Linglong dialed the most recent number from his phone's call log.

Just then, a bell rang in the deathly silent bar—it was the voice of a thug lying on the ground.

Lone Wolf coldly approached the thug and brought him in front of Zeng Linglong.

Zeng Linglong continued dialing numbers one by one. This time, the ringtone belonged to another group of thugs who had just been drinking at the bar. Lone Wolf brought them over as well.

Yan Hai immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Zeng Linglong's actions.

He has learned a lot from his brother-in-law's words and deeds during this period.

Yan Hai whispered to Zeng Linglong, "Brother-in-law, Liang Yuan just threatened me, saying that the bar might be hiding drugs."

"Search him." Zeng Linglong uttered the two words through gritted teeth.

The two team members then found a large amount of ecstasy and ketamine on the second thug; the transparent plastic bag was particularly glaring under the light.

Zeng Linglong's eyes grew colder as he continued making phone calls.

This time, however, the bell rang on the lead police officer.

Zeng Linglong stared at him coldly, his eyes like sharp blades:

"Now, do you still dare to say you don't know each other?"

"Do you know that once I find a connection between you, your pulling out of your gun just now wasn't a normal police response, but a deliberate attack on me?"

Even if I kill you all now, it will be to eliminate a threat.

"So I advise you to confess later—no one can save you tonight."

After saying that, Zeng Linglong continued dialing.

This time, the number dialed was marked "Director Fang".

After the call connected, a middle-aged man's voice, carrying an official air, came through:

"Xiao Yuan, why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Zeng Linglong's tone remained icy: "Liang Yuan has committed a crime. He caused trouble with his men at the Night Banquet Bar and I have detained him."

"Who are you?" The voice on the phone was authoritative.

Zeng Linglong sneered: "Someone who can handle him."

"Beep—beep—beep—" The phone call was disconnected.

Zeng Linglong then found a number marked "Brother" and dialed it directly.

The tone on the phone was domineering: "Xiao Yuan, has the matter been resolved? If he doesn't listen, just kick him out of Tiankun City."

Zeng Linglong's eyes were like needles, and his words were like steel needles: "Sorry, you can't get rid of them."

There was a five-second silence on the phone, then an angry voice came through:

"Since Xiao Yuan's phone number is in your hands, it seems he's already in your possession."

"Whatever you do, don't hurt him—otherwise you won't be able to leave Tiankun City!"

"I'm sorry." Zeng Linglong's words also began with two words:

"You said Xiao Yuan has already been shot three times by me. When the next bullets will be fired depends on your actions."

"I'm in a hurry to get home and sleep, you only have ten minutes."

The other party gritted their teeth and spat out three words: "You...have...guts!" The call was then disconnected.

Zeng Linglong handed the phone to Baolong, then took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Smoke rose in the dim light, his profile appearing and disappearing in the smoke.

At this moment, Yan Hai handed his phone to Zeng Linglong: "Brother-in-law, there's a recording of our conversation on my phone."

Zeng Linglong took the phone and started playing the recording.

After listening to the entire recording, he roughly stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray—with a "hiss," the spark went out.

Because he heard that the other party had started making advances towards Yan Rugo and Anna on New Year's Eve.

The raging killing intent had now materialized, and as it spoke to Liang Yuan, its tone carried the power of judgment:

"Looks like you have a lot of heads? No matter how many you have, I'm going to smash them all."

He looked at the lone wolf:

"Call the military district and have them bring people over."

"Arrest whoever comes tonight. Say it's my order."

"besides--"

He pointed at Liang Yuan on the ground:

"Investigate the depth of his crimes. If they are deep..."

He paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Tyrannosaurus Rex chuckled: "Roger that, boss!"

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. It's too bloody here, so I'll take your sister-in-law home first."

Zeng Linglong turned around, handed the phone back to Yan Hai, and then patted Yan Hai on the shoulder:

"Well done, you know how to plan ahead. Remember the strategy I told you."

"Here's a test for you—handle this incident properly with Yang Li and the others. Your Brother Wolf and the others will cooperate with you."

"If handled well, Yang Li and Hu Sanshao's family will reap unexpected rewards. There might be a big fish in Tiankun City."

Zeng Linglong gave Yan Hai a mysterious smile.

He then led Yan Rugo and Anna out the back door, with the two Longying team members immediately following behind.

Yan Hai and the other four exchanged glances, and then their eyes lit up.

Yang Li started calling home, Hu Sanshao also quickly contacted his family, and Li Lunjie, Yan Hai, and Tengfei all started contacting their families as well.

The faint light from their phone screens illuminated their young faces, which showed tension, excitement, and the ambition to spread their wings.

Lone Wolf then picked up the phone and called the commander of the Tiankun City Military Sub-district. His tone was concise:

"Jiaolong is being maliciously targeted by an unknown force. Night Banquet Bar, dispatch troops immediately."

This is the code—when Zeng Linglong came to Tiankun City, Old Liu gave Lone Wolf an authorization: if any force targets Zeng Linglong, he can directly mobilize the military district and then report to the General Staff.

After making the call, Lone Wolf called Old Liu again and gave a very clear report of the details.

As Old Liu listened to Lone Wolf's report in his study, his eyes turned cold.

Zeng Linglong is now a hero under the strict protection of the Imperial Household Agency and the military. He is currently recuperating and there is absolutely no room for any mishaps.

Who knows if there are foreign forces or Japanese spies probing behind the scenes, or some unscrupulous forces targeting us?

Old Liu directly ordered Lone Wolf and his men to use swift and decisive methods to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. He would also dispatch another Dragon Shadow squad to Tiankun City at top speed.

Therefore, two battalions of troops from the Tiankun City Military Sub-district are being mobilized.

Military vehicles drove out of the camp, flashing lights, roaring engines, a steel torrent rushing towards the city.

Meanwhile, at the Dragon Shadow secret base, Mountain Eagle and Old Ghost had recovered from their serious injuries. They led ten Dragon Shadow team members into the air by helicopter, heading straight for Tiankun City.

The roar of the propellers tore through the night sky, and the lights on the fuselage shone like shooting stars in the darkness.

Inside the Night Banquet Bar, Lone Wolf put away his phone and looked at Liang Yuan, who was slumped on the ground, and the trembling police officers.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Tonight, the weather in Tiankun City is going to change.
