In the spacious office, a middle-aged military officer with three stars on his shoulder sat upright in his armchair. He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and his resolute face looked towards the young military officer standing at attention opposite him.
The young officer had an imposing physique and was exceptionally sturdy. Although his skin was wheat-colored, his chiseled facial features were extraordinarily handsome.
"Ye Fengwu, this mission is arduous. You won't refuse it, will you?" The general spoke in a slightly mild tone.
Ye Fengwu's expression was impassive, his back ramrod straight, and his voice boomed like thunder: "Sir, do I have the right to refuse?"
Hearing this, the general's originally stern expression suddenly turned into a smile as he scolded, "Don't give me that crap. Do whatever you want!"
After hearing the general's words, Ye Fengwu grinned, a hint of roguishness in his eyes. He then picked up the half-empty box of premium cigarettes on the general's desk and lit one for himself before casually slipping the box into his pocket.
After taking a long drag, Ye Fengwu finally said, "Why did you pick me?"
The general sighed, "Do you think I wanted to? You're the only 26-year-old major general in our military, and the sole instructor of our Wolves special forces. If the mission wasn't so arduous, the top brass wouldn't have asked you to re-enter society."
Here, the general paused before frowning and continuing, "Ye Fengwu, you should understand that with your previous identity, by returning to society this time, you will no longer be the multi-medaled war god of the military on the surface, but will once again become the violent criminal you were."
Ye Fengwu laughed unconcernedly, "I don't care. I was an orphan. From elementary school onward, I was a despised and ridiculed bastard. My family was poor, and the humiliation from neighboring villagers and classmates didn't spur me to work harder. On the contrary, it twisted me psychologically. Fighting, extortion... I was well-versed in it all. So becoming that kind of person again, I'm old hand at it."
"However..."
Here, a hint of gloom flashed across Ye Fengwu's eyes as he continued, "This also led me to commit something eight years ago that I still can't get over."
That year, my 16-year-old self didn't get into high school but went astray with local bullies instead. Influenced by alcohol, I did something that year that went against my principles - I raped a girl.
One month after I was imprisoned, I was taken away. From then on, I step-by-step became the most outstanding warrior of Huaxia.
But I'm always plagued by what happened that year. I didn't even get a clear look at the face of the girl I harmed.
Ye Fengwu exhaled a smoke ring and smiled at the general, "So General Luo, I'm very grateful for the opportunity you've given me to become what I am today. Otherwise, I would still be in prison."
Calling a general with the rank of major general "General Luo" could only be done by Ye Fengwu in the entire Huaxia military. He also had the qualifications to do so.
Luo Tianfei was known as Luo Tianfei. His family behind him was one of the Huaxia Tiger Gate families. He himself was the supreme commander of the Wolves special forces, and the Wolves special forces was Huaxia’s top special operations force.
Hearing this, the major general's expression became solemn. He said, "In fact, the one who got you out of prison and sent you to the military barracks back then had ulterior motives."
"Oh..." Ye Fengwu's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of puzzlement surfacing in his eyes.
Eight years ago, he had always thought that General Luo had recognized his talents and single-handedly saved him, this future war god. Could it have been someone else?
Luo Tianfei went on, "Ye Fengwu, I've always been very curious about your true origins. You repeatedly said you were an orphan, but an orphan wouldn't have the ability to make someone send you to the Wolves special forces."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu's frown deepened. Could the one who helped him really be someone else and was related to his origins?
Seeing Ye Fengwu's confused look, Luo Tianfei laughed, "I've investigated for a long time, and your origins remain a mystery. Maybe you really are just a lucky orphan. So I can't help you there, but I can help assuage your guilt."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu's eyes lit up.
Luo Tianfei continued, "That year, the girl you harmed is in Huahua City. Her name is Qin Qinghan. She was drugged, which led to her accidentally running into you. If I'm not mistaken, you were probably drugged too that year."
"Qin Qinghan..." Ye Fengwu murmured, "No wonder her condition was so strange that time, no wonder my self-control was so poor. But unfortunately, I didn't even get to see her face clearly."
"She was someone admired by thousands, but now she is a pitiful woman who has suffered much over the years. She is currently an executive in her family business and has a daughter by her side," Luo Tianfei added.
When Ye Fengwu heard that Qin Qinghan had suffered a lot, he inevitably felt guilty. But hearing that she had a daughter, he immediately felt a little better and said, "So she's married already. I hope she is living a blissful life."
Hearing this, Luo Tianfei snorted, "The year after you harmed her, she gave birth to a baby girl. Because of this, she was practically driven out of the family and completely looked down upon. You ruined her life!"
"What..." Ye Fengwu abruptly stood up, his tone rising sharply. He never imagined that he had caused such tremendous harm to that girl.
One could imagine how much agony a girl would endure after being raped. She was probably mocked and humiliated by countless people for getting pregnant out of wedlock.
Gradually, an extremely solemn expression surfaced on Ye Fengwu's face as he solemnly declared, "From today onwards, my life... belongs to this mother and daughter."
Luo Tianfei sighed, "Set off as soon as you can. Qin Qinghan seems to be in trouble. You'll regret it forever if you're late."
Bang!
A loud thud sounded as the sturdy wooden table was smashed with a hole.
...
Two days later, at 7 pm, the grand hall of a high-end hotel in the most prosperous area of Huahua City was filled with lavish banquet tables.
Parked at the entrance of the hotel was an extremely luxurious Hummer. Inside, smoke lingered as the driver, front passenger, and two men in the back seat - four men in total - sat.
They had something in common - their wheat-colored skin and exceptionally sturdy physiques. Ye Fengwu sat upright in the back seat and flicked his cigarette butt out the window.
"Tell me everything about the Qin family," Ye Fengwu said in a somber tone, his frighteningly cold eyes devoid of any emotion.
The man in the front passenger seat respectfully replied, "Instructor, the Qin family is one of the few family businesses in Huahua City. They can't be considered top-notch but do have some strength."
"The current Qin family patriarch is Qin Guannan. Today is his 70th birthday banquet. He wants to take this chance to marry off his granddaughter Qin Qinghan to someone called Zhang Ge. Zhang Ge's father is a chairman of a large company whose strength is inferior to the Qins but still has personal assets in the hundreds of millions."
"However, this Zhang Ge is a debauched, useless rich second generation. He fools around with women everywhere and has terrible character," the man beside Ye Fengwu supplemented.
"Instructor, I heard Qin Qinghan has suffered much injustice over the years. The entire Qin family basically doesn't treat her like a human and oppresses her family in every way," he added.
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu's expression was frighteningly cold. He coldly declared, "From today onward, no one will ever let my woman suffer injustice again."
With that said, Ye Fengwu pushed the car door open and stepped out.
"Instructor, let us accompany you to help set the stage," the driver hurriedly called out.
The driver was called Yang Lu, the front passenger was Liu Peng, and the man in the back was Lin Qiang. All three were elites of the Wolves special forces and lieutenant colonels despite their youth. Their power was so great they could even mobilize local troops. Such was the formidable strength of the Wolves special forces.
These three men revered Ye Fengwu like a god.
They had also come to Huahua City to assist Ye Fengwu and provide any help he needed.
Ye Fengwu closed the car door. "No need. Your identities can't be exposed. I'll find you if I need you."
As he spoke, Ye Fengwu headed straight for the hotel entrance.
Inside the hotel, the other banquet tables were in full swing, and Qin Guannan, dressed in a red Tang suit, had a smile across his face as people continuously raised their glasses to toast him.
However, in the furthest corner of the dozen or so banquet tables was the most inconspicuous little table, with just four people - or three and a half, to be more precise.
This was because one of the four was a little girl of about six or seven years old. The girl had shapely eyebrows and bright eyes that gave her an indescribable delicacy. Her two little ponytails at the back made her look extremely cute.
Sitting next to the little girl was a woman in her early twenties who was shockingly beautiful.
She had long, flowing hair and casual attire, but that couldn't hide her disastrously alluring looks. Every move she made was soft and elegant, making people want to take her in their arms and dote on her.
From time to time, the woman glanced at the little girl beside her, tenderness visible in her eyes that also contained a deep melancholy.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
