In the spacious office, a middle-aged officer, wearing three military stars on his shoulder, sat upright in a reclining chair. He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and gazed at the young officer standing straight across from him.
The young officer had a tall, muscular build. His skin was slightly tanned, but his sharp, defined face still held an extraordinary, handsome quality.
"Ye Fengwu, this mission is a difficult one. You wouldn't refuse, would you?" The general's tone was slightly calm as he spoke.
Ye Fengwu remained expressionless, sitting up straight with his back stiff, his voice deep like thunder. "Sir, do I even have the right to refuse?"
Hearing this, the general, who had maintained a serious expression, suddenly burst into a laugh and scolded, "Stop with that nonsense! Just do whatever you want!"
After hearing the general's words, Ye Fengwu gave a chuckle. There was a hint of irreverence in his eyes. He then casually took the half-box of special cigarettes in front of the general, lit one up, and put the box into his pocket.
After taking a deep puff, Ye Fengwu asked, "Why choose me?"
The general sighed. "You think I want this? You're the only one in my army, just 26 years old, who's already a major general, and the only instructor in my Blood Wolf Special Forces. If the task weren't so critical, I wouldn't be sending you back into society."
At this point, the general paused for a moment, then furrowed his brow. "Ye Fengwu, you should understand your previous identity. Now that you're returning to society, on the surface, you're no longer the decorated war god of the army. You're back to being that criminal."
Ye Fengwu smiled indifferently. "Doesn't matter. I've always been an abandoned child. Since I was young, I've been the object of ridicule and mockery, with a poor family. The bullying didn't make me strive harder, instead, it twisted my mind more and more. Fighting, collecting protection fees, I was skilled at all of it. So, returning to being that person again? I can handle it easily."
"However..."
At this point, Ye Fengwu's eyes darkened slightly. "It also led me to make a mistake when I was 18, something I still can't get over."
When he was 16, he failed to get into high school and fell in with thugs. At 18, under the influence of alcohol, he committed a heinous act—he r*p*d a girl.
A month after he was imprisoned, someone came to take him, and from then on, he became the top soldier in China's military.
But he could never forget that girl he had harmed. He couldn't even remember what she looked like.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Ye Fengwu smiled at the general and said, "So, Old Luo, I'm really grateful for this opportunity. If it weren't for you, this scoundrel would still be rotting in prison."
Calling a general by the name of "Old Luo" in the Chinese military was something only Ye Fengwu dared to do, and only he had the right to do so.
The general's name was Luo Tianfei, and his family was part of the Tiger Clan in China. He was the top commander of the Blood Wolf Special Forces, the highest-ranking elite special forces unit in China.
Hearing Ye Fengwu's words, the general's face became more serious. "Actually, it wasn't me who brought you out of prison and sent you to the military."
"Oh?" Ye Fengwu frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
For the past eight years, he had always thought it was Luo Tianfei who had recognized his potential and saved him. But now, was there someone else behind it?
Luo Tianfei continued, "Ye Fengwu, I've always been curious about your true background. You claim to be an abandoned child, but someone like that couldn't have had the ability to be sent to the Blood Wolf Special Forces."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengwu furrowed his brows even more tightly. Could it be that someone else was behind helping him? Could it be related to his background?
Seeing Ye Fengwu's confusion, Luo Tianfei smiled. "I've investigated for a long time, but your background remains a mystery. Maybe you really are just a lucky abandoned child. So, I can't help you there. But as for the guilt you carry, I can help you with that."
Ye Fengwu's eyes brightened at this.
Luo Tianfei went on, "The girl you harmed is in Haihua City. Her name is Qin Qinghan. She was drugged, and that's how you ended up meeting her. If I'm not wrong, you must have been drugged as well."
"Qin Qinghan…" Ye Fengwu murmured. "No wonder she was in such a strange state back then. No wonder I had such poor self-control. But unfortunately, I didn't even get to see what she looked like."
"She was originally a jewel admired by everyone, but now, she's a pitiful woman who has suffered a lot. She's now a senior executive in a family business, with a daughter by her side," Luo Tianfei continued.
Hearing that Qin Qinghan had suffered so much, Ye Fengwu couldn't help but feel guilty. But when he heard she had a daughter, he felt slightly relieved. He then said, "So, she's already married. I hope her life is happy."
Luo Tianfei shook his head. "She gave birth to a daughter the second year after you harmed her, and because of that, her family nearly disowned her. She's been humiliated by the entire family. To be honest, you ruined her life."
"What…" Ye Fengwu suddenly stood up, his voice rising. He never imagined that he had caused such a huge amount of harm to that girl.
One could only imagine the immense pain a girl would endure after being r*p*d, and to be pregnant out of wedlock. She must have been ridiculed and humiliated countless times.
Gradually, Ye Fengwu's face became extremely grim, and he spoke in a deep voice, "From today on, my life… belongs to her and her daughter."
Luo Tianfei sighed. "You'd better leave quickly. Qin Qinghan seems to be in trouble. If you're too late, you might regret it forever."
Bang~!
With a loud crash, the solid wood desk was suddenly smashed, creating a hole.
Two days later, at 7:00 PM, in a luxurious hotel located in the busiest part of Haihua City, the entire hall was filled with extravagant banquets.
A luxurious Hummer was parked outside the hotel. Inside, the smoke swirled around, and there were four men in the car, the driver, the co-driver, and two men in the back seat.
The men were all of a wheatish complexion, and their bodies were exceptionally muscular. Ye Fengwu sat in the back seat, flicking his cigarette out the window.
"Tell me everything about the Qin family," Ye Fengwu said with a somber expression, his cold, emotionless eyes sending a chilling gaze.
The man in the co-driver seat respectfully replied, "Instructor, the Qin family is one of the few family-run businesses in Haihua City. They're not the top, but they do have some power."
"The current head of the Qin family is Qin Guangnan. Today is his 70th birthday, and he's using this occasion to marry off his granddaughter, Qin Qinghan, to a man named Zhang Ge. Zhang Ge's father is the chairman of a big company. Although his family is not as wealthy as the Qin family, he's worth hundreds of millions."
"However, Zhang Ge is a spoiled rich kid, a womanizer with a terrible character."
The man beside Ye Fengwu added, "Instructor, we've heard that Qin Qinghan has suffered a lot over the years. The Qin family has treated her badly, suppressing her family at every turn."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu's expression turned colder. His voice was frosty as he spoke, "From today, no one will make my woman suffer."
With that, Ye Fengwu opened the car door and stepped out.
"Instructor, we'll go with you and back you up," the driver urgently called out.
The driver's name was Yang Lu, the co-driver was Liu Peng, and the men in the back seat were Lin Qiang. All three were elite members of the Blood Wolf Special Forces, holding the rank of Colonel. Despite their young age, their authority was immense, even capable of commanding local forces. This was the power of the Blood Wolf Special Forces.
Each of them was a soldier king in their own right, but they all revered Ye Fengwu, treating him as a god.
They had come to Haihua City to assist Ye Fengwu, providing whatever help he needed at all costs.
Ye Fengwu closed the car door. "No need. Your identities can't be exposed. If I need anything, I'll contact you."
With that, Ye Fengwu walked toward the hotel entrance.
Inside the hotel, other banquet tables were filled with enthusiastic guests. Qin Guangnan, dressed in a red Tang suit, had a constant smile on his face as people raised their glasses to toast him.
But at one corner of the hall, there was a small, inconspicuous table with only four people, or rather, three and a half.
Among them was a little girl, about six or seven years old. She had delicate features and bright, sparkling eyes that gave her an exquisite look. Her twin pigtails added a cute.
