Hearing those screams, Sheng Fei felt a pang of sympathy and hesitantly asked Wang Zheng, "How about we just let this go"

"No." Instead of answering Sheng Fei, Wang Zheng said to Cheng Yuling:

"This is your team, and you're the soul of it. If you can't enforce discipline, then there's not much difference from a gang." Wang Zheng continued: "You were once a special forces soldier yourself; I'm sure you understand this."

"I get it, I won’t let you down," Cheng Yuling’s blood was stirred again by what Wang Zheng said. He spoke earnestly.

"Let’s use battle as practice then." Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said: "If you want to grow here, sooner or later you’ll have to deal with Sha Kun."

"Give me a vehicle; I need to go somewhere for a while. I should be back in one or two days."

Sheng Fei knew where Wang Zheng was taking her and she couldn’t help but feel excited.

"Alright, I’ll have someone get it ready right away."

"Do you know anything about that Li Na who massacred the village" Wang Zheng suddenly asked.

"I’ve never met him personally. They say he’s a fat man, cruel and cunning, bullying people in the northwestern part of the Golden Triangle. He has over a thousand subordinates under him, but after losing heavily in battle against Sha Kun's forces later on, he nominally submitted to Sha Kun, though he remains an influential local landlord."

"Alright then, once Sheng Fei and I come back, we’ll go and take care of that fat man," Wang Zheng said indifferently.

"What" Cheng Yuling seemed somewhat incredulous.

His own team only had around three hundred people with average combat prowess. Even though Li Na's men were also a ragtag group, they still numbered over a thousand. Even if his side had the advantage of outnumbering them by three to one, would this battle be easily won

"Isn’t the difference in strength too great" Cheng Yuling was somewhat worried.

Wang Zheng looked at Cheng Yuling who clearly read a hint of disdain from his boss's eyes.

"How many years have you been away from your unit Where’s that ruthless determination you once had when executing people with your gun" Wang Zheng’s lips curled slightly in derision: "You’ve become timid as a mouse. Do you really think you’re still worthy of being called a wolf-tooth soldier now"

Cheng Yuling was once put on a military court for killing a hostage during an operation. Later, with the help of his comrades, he escaped and went to the Golden Triangle, where he formed a small team and started working as a mercenary.

"That hostage indeed deserved to be killed back then, but I couldn't explain it clearly," Cheng Yuling lifted his head and looked at Wang Zheng with some shame. Indeed, compared to him in the past, he had lost much of his ruthlessness.

Life is full of unexpected events and不得已 (unavoidable situations). If not for the incident of killing a hostage, Cheng Yuling might now be training a team in Wolf Teeth or have transferred to a unit and lived a stable life. And if it weren't for those old monsters and that battle, Wang Zheng might still be creating legends with his brothers from Golden Skin. However, events unfolded as they did, transforming their lives dramatically. Regardless of this, life continues; the path you choose determines your fate.

Wang Zheng never gave up on Golden Skin or his seemingly unattainable dream.

The night slowly approached, bringing cooler breezes to replace the day's oppressive heat and noise in the Golden Triangle. The familiar scent reminded Wang Zheng of past times; fragrances lingered amidst the grass though without the thick odors of blood and gunpowder. Sheng Fei noticed Wang Zheng being silent and did not speak either. Patting Wang Zheng’s shoulder, he then went to rest.

The next morning, sleeping Sheng Fei heard engine sounds outside his window. Through the window, he saw a yellow Hummer parked there with some of Cheng Yuling's men loading supplies onto it.

"You thought of everything—I even have mosquito repellent prepared," Wang Zheng was clearly satisfied with Cheng Yuling’s arrangements.

"That's because you're taking a beautiful lady. If you were going alone, I wouldn’t even prepare sleeping bags for you." Cheng Yuling carefully adjusted his tone while speaking to Wang Zheng. Both being special forces soldiers, he respected everyone in Golden Skin despite having offended Wang Zheng before; they had no deep grudges between them. Although now working under Wang Zheng, he didn't want to create a distance.

"Don’t just stare—pack up and let's eat before we leave!" Wang Zheng said with a teasing smile at Sheng Fei. Realizing she was in her thin nightwear with messy hair, Sheng Fei hurriedly closed the window.

The breakfast was plentiful; Cheng Yuling had arranged local specialties from the Golden Triangle area. Only after belching contentedly did Wang Zheng reluctantly put down his chopsticks.

Sheng Fei naturally sat in the Hummer's front passenger seat. The terrain of the Golden Triangle was complex and even dangerous, but the road to that battlefield could be called "perilous": narrow and steep with sections lacking roads, requiring off-road driving through bushes. Sheng Fei often felt they would roll down the narrow mountain path; looking at Wang Zheng, focused on driving as if nothing were amiss, she couldn't help calming her nerves.

A man who is dedicated is quite charming.

"Afraid" Wang Zheng remained focused and did not turn his head.

"Cut it out—of course I'm not afraid."

"Then why are you staring at me so intently Taken a fancy to me" Turning around, he teased her with a smile.

Sheng Fei's cheeks flushed as she was caught in the act.

"Go to hell. To be honest, I am a bit worried—I've never seen such conditions before," Sheng Fei spoke candidly.

"This is just the beginning. Old Sheng's daughter won't be frightened by a little danger, right"

"No!" Actually, Sheng Fei wasn’t really afraid. With Wang Zheng around, she felt very reassured, almost like when she was with her father as a child.

"When I went out with Old Sheng before, at first he would drive and I'd sit in the passenger seat. He was always focused and wouldn't talk to me even if I did. Later on, he said that in such dangerous places and situations, one must be responsible for his brotherhood and can’t afford any carelessness. Afterward, he let me drive while he sat in the passenger seat and talked about you incessantly as I drove. He'd start from when you were born until you entered high school—how you cried on your first day at kindergarten, how many times you got top grades in elementary school, how you received love letters during junior high... Thinking back, it felt like I watched you grow up."

As Wang Zheng spoke, Sheng Fei was flooded with memories of her father. She couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face. Since starting this journey, she had been suppressing years of pent-up emotions, but hearing Wang Zheng talk about Old Sheng and seeing places where he used to fight made it hard for Sheng Fei to hold back her tears every time, but now she just wanted to cry freely.

However, before the tears in Sheng Fei’s eyes could spill over, Wang Zheng spoke a sentence that completely ruined the atmosphere: "I’ve watched you grow up, so it's not too much for me if you call me uncle."

"Alright, Uncle." Sheng Fei was somewhat at a loss with this shameless person next to her.

As they chatted and drove on, two hours passed before either of them realized it. By then, Sheng Fei was quite tired and dozed off.

Wang Zheng watched the sleeping Sheng Fei with a tender gaze in his eyes. He shook himself awake and stared intently ahead.

Sleep now; the road ahead is even more dangerous. It's better you don't see it.

...

When Sheng Fei woke up, they were passing through a small village where barefoot children in nothing but their undershirts laughed and chased after them. "Should we stop here for a bit" The rough mountain road made Sheng Fei long to get out and move around.

"Let's wait a while longer. Our car is quite conspicuous; it’s unclear whose turf this is, so let’s rest in an uninhabited area." With Sheng Fei on board, Wang Zheng was much more cautious than usual. Although he knew his strength could deter the amateur armed groups of the Golden Triangle, for Sheng Fei's safety, discretion was better.

"Have some water," Sheng Fei handed over a bottle of mineral water she had opened to Wang Zheng. Cheng Yuling had thought very thoroughly; there were drinking water, food, sleeping bags, survival tools for the wilderness, even an emergency kit—clearly thinking of Sheng Fei.

Of course, at Wang Zheng's insistence, the car was packed with all kinds of weapons, from Desert Eagles to Barretts and even a rocket launcher—the vehicle could be considered a mobile arsenal.

Half an hour later, the Hummer stopped under a large tree. Sheng Fei couldn’t wait to unbuckle her seatbelt and jump out; she was so used to working in an office that her body couldn't bear such long periods of shaking.

This spot was halfway up a mountain. Looking down below, winding roads could be seen which truly fit the description of "mountain road eighteen curves." Glancing down made one’s eyes spin.

"After we cross this mountain, it'll take another three or four hours to get there," Wang Zheng said after taking a sip of water.

"Don't worry, I can keep going." Sheng Fei also took a sip of water.

After resuming their journey, Sheng Fei soon fell asleep. When Wang Zheng's sudden braking woke her up, the sky was already getting dark.

"We're here"

"Yes, you really can sleep! You've been out for four whole hours."

"Is this little hill" Sheng Fei didn't respond to Wang Zheng's words but asked urgently.

"Right, it’s the small hill right in front of you. An unremarkable little hill, and then expanding ten square kilometers around here — this is where Dragon Scale's final battle took place."

The little hill before her was only a few hundred meters high; there seemed to be no difference from the many hills they had passed by earlier. It was lush with trees and covered in shrubs, yet it was also the place where her father and his comrades lost their lives. Sheng Fei felt heavy-hearted.

"Come on, I’ll take you up the hill." Wang Zheng interrupted Sheng Fei's thoughts.

The beginning of the path up the hill was relatively flat; only the sound of footsteps on the grass could be heard as Sheng Fei followed Wang Zheng.

"From now on, be careful. Follow me closely because there are still many landmines ahead. They were laid wherever we went back then, and now even I can't distinguish them."

Without further ado, Wang Zheng grabbed Sheng Fei's hand. Although they both wore gloves, Sheng Fei’s heart raced as she could feel the warmth of Wang Zheng's hands through the layers of gloves.

The cold in her hands was replaced with a sense of warmth in her heart.

Wang Zheng carefully observed their surroundings and cautiously moved forward. Sheng Fei, equally cautious, followed behind him. The lush and tenacious vegetation in the forest several times pricked through her pants, causing pain to her legs; Wang Zheng stopped and took out two rolls of bandages from his backpack, swiftly wrapping them around Sheng Fei's calves before continuing on.

This man seemed capable of everything.

The sky darkened more as the day wore on. Suddenly, Wang Zheng stopped in front of a tree with bullet holes; this reminded him vividly of that battle. Just like today’s gradually darkening sky, it was when the battle began.

PS: The year-end is upon us, and I’ve been extremely busy recently to the point where I feel like throwing up blood. Thanks for my wife's and everyone else's support; after vomiting three liters of blood, I'll keep going.long It had already been three hours; did he really last that longAware of his young master's temper, one of them out of concern wanted to go in and see what was happening but was stopped by another:...
