Chapter 3: Mansion

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu had just left the principal's office when the phone rang. Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at the blank caller ID display. He answered the phone and put it to his ear, smiling: "Hello, Instructor." A bright and cheerful voice came from the other end of the line, saying: "When did you learn to be clairvoyant, knowing it was me as soon as you picked up?" Tai Shu Zheng Yu smiled: "Needless to say, this is all thanks to your good teaching, Instructor."

  "Are you getting used to life outside?" the instructor said. Tai Shu Zheng Yu walked and said, "It's okay, I signed up today, haha." "Was the sign-up smooth? Was there any problem? If there was a problem, let that person tell me, I'll help you fix it." The instructor was very concerned about Tai Shu Zheng Yu and said so.

  Uncle Zheng Yu was moved in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Yes, everything is going smoothly. If it weren't for the documents you gave me, Teacher, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth." The teacher smiled and said: "You're underestimating yourself too much. With your identity, even without those things, getting into school isn't a difficult task. Remember, when you're outside, whatever happens, don't hesitate to do what you need to do. I'll take care of any big troubles that come up, don't let yourself be bullied, got it?"

  "Uh, I see, thank you, sir." Tai Shu Zheng Yu replied. For all these years, it was always the instructor who took care of Tai Shu Zheng Yu, although sometimes he was very strict, but Tai Shu Zheng Yu never complained about the instructor. If not for the instructor's strictness, he would probably have become a pile of white bones by now and wouldn't be where he is today.

  The instructor said: "Alright, that's enough, we still have training later, I'll hang up first, call me if you need anything." Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at his phone with a hint of a smile on his face. The instructor was still as swift and decisive as ever, hanging up the call without hesitation.

  On the other end of the phone, a man wearing light gray training clothes put down the phone in his hand. He leaned on the table, lost in thought. "I didn't know our instructor had such a gentle side, it's moving me to tears." A playful voice rang out. The instructor turned his head and saw a sturdy young man walking in with his sleeves rolled up. The instructor kicked him with one foot and cursed, "Li Yu, you little scoundrel, are you itching for a fight, daring to mock the instructor!"

  Li Yu seemed to be used to the instructor's movements, and with a slight push of his feet, he did a backflip and landed cleanly on the ground, dodging the instructor's kick. Li Yu chuckled and raised his hands, saying: "Reporting to the instructor, I don't dare, even if you give me ten guts, I wouldn't dare tease the instructor." The instructor's teasing words became teasing in Li Yu's mouth. The instructor gave Li Yu a displeased look.

  Although the two had a superior and subordinate relationship, they were like brothers in everyday life, with no taboos. It was only during missions and training that there was a distinction between superiors and subordinates, and at that time, no one dared to speak so boldly. That's why Li Yu dared to speak to the instructor like this.

  The instructor pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, tossed one to Li Yu, and then lit one himself. He took a deep drag, his eyes filled with a hint of melancholy, and asked Li Yu, "Do you think Fei Ying will come back?" Although they were in a lifelong profession, except for death, they could never quit, but at a certain age or with great merit, warriors could still apply for internal retirement. Internal retirement meant becoming an idle personnel, not participating in any tasks, but still being part of their unit.

  The Flying Eagle in the instructor's mouth is actually Tai Shu Zheng Yu, who, although not meeting the age requirement for internal retirement, has made enough contributions to apply for it now. The instructors all know about that incident and its great impact on Tai Shu Zheng Yu, so they fear that he will lose heart and apply for internal retirement, at which point even if the instructor is unwilling, he can only approve it.

  The tasks that Ye Tianyi has been executing in the past few years are enough to make him a senior colonel in an ordinary army, and he still has plenty of room for advancement. As a special forces operative, the tasks he executes are not ordinary tasks, but rather life-or-death missions that are extremely difficult to complete, which is why they are entrusted to people like him.

  "I don't know, but I believe Fei Ying will come to his senses. I believe Ah Hu won't blame him even from the afterlife. If Fei Ying hadn't fired that shot, the consequences would have been catastrophic. The entire city would have been destroyed by TNT, thousands of kilograms of it. Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine."

  However, the entire city was saved, but Ah Hu was sacrificed, and it was Fei Ying who killed him with his own hands, killing his own brother. The instructor sighed deeply and said: "Fei Ying has been living with Ah Hu since childhood, growing up together, although not biological brothers, they are better than biological brothers. Such a thing happened, whoever's heart would not be at ease, so when Fei Ying applied for leave, I approved it, also hoping that he can come back soon, walk out of the shadow, and Blade needs his leadership!

  Li Yu nodded silently, Flying Eagle's skills had always been recognized as the strongest in the Knife Edge Troop and was also the designated successor. In any aspect, Flying Eagle far surpassed them, which was something that everyone admired. Genius was the word to describe Flying Eagle.

  "Ah, Captain, the National Security Bureau just called us and asked if we could get Flying Eagle to help them out when they encounter difficult situations." Li Yu suddenly remembered this matter and said it to the captain. The captain listened to Li Yu's words and burst out laughing, waving his hand and saying: "I have no opinion on this matter, mainly it depends on whether they can persuade Flying Eagle, if he is not willing, nobody can force him, you know how to tell National Security Bureau?"

  As for Captain Li's agreement, Yu also wasn't very surprised. Although the two departments weren't part of the same system, high-ranking officials were all from the Blade Troop, so they could be considered to have some connection. Yu's mind was also very agile, and he guessed as he spoke: "Captain, is this perhaps..."

  The instructor looked at Li Yu's dazed expression, smiled with satisfaction, nodded his head and praised: "You're right, a knife that doesn't get honed will rust. If Flying Eagle doesn't receive any missions for three years, and there are no more training sessions, their skills will inevitably decline." Li Yu had a hint of a smile on his face as he said: "Then instructor, I'll go make that call over there. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear about this matter."

  The instructor nodded and said, "Let's gather everyone later and start training." "Yes, instructor!" Li Yu's face turned serious, his feet together, and he gave the instructor a standard military salute, responding loudly.

  After Uncle Zheng Yu finished the phone call with the instructor, he returned to his own apartment. This apartment, Uncle Zheng Yu had never been here before, and for the past year, he had been traveling and hadn't lived here yet. Uncle Zheng Yu only knew that he had a house at Deep Blue University, but as for whether it was big or small, and what it looked like, Uncle Zheng Yu had no idea.

  This apartment is only about 300-400 meters away from the University of Deep Blue, and it won't take much time to go to class. Ta Shu Zhengyu didn't expect his house to be so big, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, air conditioning, LCD TV, computer, refrigerator, and all kinds of furniture. Ta Shu Zhengyu couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw his own house, thinking that his room would be at most a single room, but it was so luxurious.

  Tai Shu Zhengyu put down his luggage and sat on the sofa, thinking for a moment before dialing a phone number. The phone number Tai Shu Zhengyu dialed was different from ordinary phone numbers, it was a 16-digit number. "Hello, this is operator No. 1, what can I do for you?" A pleasant female voice came over the phone.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu was apparently very familiar with it, and immediately said: "Help me transfer 0307, password..." "Okay, verification passed, please wait." Although it was a formulaic language, it still made people feel not bad. Tai Shu Zheng Yu heard the phone ring a few times before answering it.

  "Hey, who is it? I'm in the middle of training, speak up!" A loud yell came through as soon as the phone was picked up. Uncle Tai was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter and said, "Coach, it's me, Zheng Yu." The voice on the other end of the line softened, and the coach chuckled, "Oh, it's you little brat, what's up?"

  "It's about the house I'm living in." Taisho Tada said concisely, these things were all handled by the instructor. As soon as Taisho Tada spoke, the instructor understood what it was about. The instructor said: "Oh, so that's what it is, nothing wrong with the house?" Taisho Tada smiled wryly and said: "Nothing, everything is fine, just a bit too luxurious?" This was somewhat different from the life Taisho Tada was used to, if he didn't ask clearly, he would always feel uncomfortable.

  "Haha, you can rest assured, all these things are yours. The money for buying a house, decorating it, and furniture is all yours. I've spent your bonuses from all these years on this, so just enjoy it well. By the way, I also gave you a small car as a gift, it should arrive in two days, isn't that generous enough?" The instructor burst out laughing, clearly not spending his own money, feeling very pleased.

  Uncle Zheng Yu was speechless, it turned out that the money spent was his own. Uncle Zheng Yu smiled helplessly: "Officer, you are really generous, using my money to buy me a house and even sending me a car, I guess the car was also bought with my money?" Uncle Zheng Yu didn't know how much money he had either, every time he went on a mission, there would be a substantial bonus, but he never cared about it, all of which were kept by the officer for him.

  "Haha, never mind, I still have to go train those kids. By the way, I transferred 500,000 yuan into your account, that's enough for you to spend in the next few years. Nothing else, I'm hanging up." The instructor quickly hung up the phone and looked at the phone on the desk, muttering: "You little brat is really stingy, keeping so much money without spending it, still trying to take advantage of me."

  Tai Shu Zhengyu put down the phone and looked around the house, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Everything he had now was his own, bought with his own money. Tai Shu Zhengyu knew that Officer Zhang didn't have much money either. Most of the prize money from their missions went to charity, except for a small portion used for living expenses. Although the military budget was substantial, with 50 million yuan allocated each year, most of it went towards equipment costs, leaving little remaining. The cost of maintaining the elite equipment was also high, with each piece being extremely expensive.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu quickly tidied up the house, and the room that was originally slightly dusty looked much cleaner after being cleaned. Tai Shu Zheng Yu went online to check his account, and there were exactly 500,000 yuan.

  Then Tai Shu Zhengyu took out the things in the suitcase, and all the clothes were put into the wardrobe. Looking at the tall wardrobe, there were only two or three sets of clothes inside. Tai Shu Zhengyu shook his head, with a hint of bitter smile on his face. It's too luxurious. I estimate that my three pieces of clothing are not as expensive as this wardrobe.

  Then, Tai Shu Zheng Yu took out a finely crafted safe from the inner layer of the box. The safe was square in shape and had a bright black color. It was no more than ten centimeters high. Tai Shu Zheng Yu skillfully opened the safe, inside which lay a handgun, two magazines, and a common Nepalese military knife.

  These things have been with Tai Shu Zheng Yu all the time, and when he officially entered the Knife Edge, they followed him. This time, the instructor also handed these things over to Tai Shu Zheng Yu. The instructor was very at ease with Tai Shu Zheng Yu, if he wanted to do something illegal, even without these things, with his skills, he could still cause shocking destruction. Moreover, with Tai Shu Zheng Yu's identity, carrying a gun was also justified.

  Uncle Zheng Yu's palm was rubbing against this handgun, which was a large-caliber handgun and the first one Uncle Zheng Yu had modified. This handgun was originally a Desert Eagle, but after Uncle Zheng Yu's modification, its power remained unchanged, but the gun body turned black, and the recoil was much less than before.

  Uncle Zheng Yu quickly disassembled the gun, and in an instant, the handgun turned into parts. A glint of light flashed in Uncle Zheng Yu's eyes, his fingers moved swiftly, like a spirit, and within four seconds, a complete handgun appeared in Uncle Zheng Yu's hand, with a series of actions including loading the clip, releasing the safety catch, and aiming. Uncle Zheng Yu let out a sigh, put away the gun, and stored it in a password-locked box.
