Chapter 1: San Ye Loses His Temper

  In December, the Hulunbuir Prairie in northern China is already covered with a thick layer of silver frost. The biting north wind blows relentlessly from the sky, sending the snow on the ground swirling through the air. Even the nomadic herders who live on the prairie have long since driven their cattle and sheep into wooden enclosures. Now they sit inside their Mongolian yurts, gathered around the stove drinking hot milk tea and eating roasted mutton.

  In a certain military region, in the empty and clean training ground of a special task brigade, at this time of day, soldiers who had trained all day would have returned to their respective squads, enjoying the warmth emanating from the kang, while the rooms were filled with the unique aroma of brick tea. The soldiers would pick up their own teapots, scoop out a potful from the large cauldron, sit at the table and drink tea to drive away the chill on their bodies, waiting for the bugler to sound the dinner signal.

  But today, the warriors of the company did not hear the sound of dinner, but instead heard a series of mournful cries and two gunshots. Due to their location on the border, the soldiers who had received years of training did not know what was happening outside, but as special operations troops, they were extremely vigilant. They quickly armed themselves and rushed out of their barracks in combat formation, occupying positions with 54 folding assault rifles that only special forces could equip. When they saw that the people surrounding the training ground were all comrades from the company, they looked at each other with questioning eyes, wondering what had happened?

  On the special forces training ground, Wang Weiye stood in the center of the circle. His face was so gloomy and icy cold, with a strong killing aura emanating from his body. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his two eyes were like two sharp swords, calmly staring at the crowd surrounding him on the training ground.

  Outside the encirclement, about ten meters away, stood nineteen little brothers he had just gathered. They all held different objects in their hands, some were kitchen knives snatched from the kitchen, while most of them rushed into the warehouse used for cleaning and grabbed iron hoes and shovels that were stacked there. As long as Wang Weiye gave the order, these little brothers behind him would immediately rush into the crowd, swinging their tools to fight. Because all nineteen of them were fugitives who had been wandering in the underworld for many years. They could disobey their parents' words, and they could also disobey the organization's words, but none of them dared not listen to Wang Weiye's words. In the eyes of these vagrant fugitives, eight-year-old Wang Weiye was the supreme ruler of the three provinces in Northeast China. Moreover, they knew in their hearts that this underworld vagabond lord was a devil who could kill people without blinking an eye.

  On the empty ground around Wang Weiye's feet, not only were various instruments scattered all over the place, but more than 20 soldiers in olive green uniforms were lying on the ground. Some people just lay silently on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance, while most of those who lay on the ground let out painful moans from their mouths. The fact that these tough men could utter sounds of pain from their mouths makes it imaginable how severe their injuries were. And all these people were Wang Weiye's handiwork from just a few minutes ago. For those who wanted to harm him, he followed his usual principle in the underworld: if you can kill, don't show mercy; if you can maim, don't hold back.

  Now the soldiers standing around Wang Weiye, there are forty or fifty people. Every single one of them has a face full of indignation, and their eyes are filled with anger, if one of them had a gun in his hand now, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot the bastard still standing there into a sieve.

  Tonight's sudden event in the camp was really too sudden, and it left everyone in the special forces team with no mental preparation at all. Now they are not only filled with anger but also feel extremely humiliated and helpless. So many people, and all of them have been in the army for more than five years as special soldiers. They have received professional and cruel training, and each one is an elite in the army. But it was just a new recruit who had just joined the team for one day, and they still didn't know his name, who knocked down more than twenty of these elites. And that bastard is now standing there with not even a scratch on him, and he's looking at them with a mocking gaze.

  They now have some doubts in their minds, whether this winter training and summer training is just a useless facade. In the fight just now, they finally understood that there are strong people among the strong. Looking at the situation earlier, that bastard was still holding back, if it were on the battlefield, those comrades who are now lying on the ground would probably be corpses by now.

  Lian Chang Cao Xiong was drenched in cold sweat on this bitterly cold winter day, with the north wind howling. His undershirt was soaked through, and his forehead was covered in sweat that dripped down his face and onto his olive green military uniform. He looked at the soldiers still lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, and his heart was filled with rage. If he hadn't fired a warning shot just now to stop this barracks brawl, who knows what would have happened?

  Cao Xiong never thought in his dreams that such a serious injury incident would occur on the first day this new soldier arrived at the company. He is now deeply regretful, yesterday the regimental commander called him to tell him that all the people he sent over were nothing but thugs and hoodlums. But he didn't take it to heart, instead he secretly ridiculed the young regimental commander for making a big deal out of nothing. Cao Xiong thought to himself: What's the big deal about some city soldiers? Once they're in his hands, whether they're dragons or tigers, they'll have to obey him, and in just a few days, he'll turn them into docile kittens. Therefore, he didn't notify the company instructor in time, nor did he warn those rascals in the company.

  Because these new recruits arrived too late yesterday, they hadn't even had time to get familiar with these troublemakers and hoodlums when this huge thing happened. It seems that this year is an unlucky year for the military, and this national defense green uniform might be worn all the way to the end of the year. With such a big incident of injury in the military camp, it's impossible to cover it up no matter how hard they try.

  Cao Xiong Gang had just learned the name of the new recruit who beat people from the squad leader. He shouted loudly with great anger: "Wang Wei Ye, I'll be damned if you don't know what you're doing! This is a military camp, not your family's backyard. If those soldiers have any problems, I'll send you to the military court for trial and let you sit in prison for ten or eight years."

  If there is someone who knows Wang Weiye now, and suddenly sees his current appearance, I guarantee that no one will recognize him. The man who used to swear constantly and exude a ruffian demeanor has suddenly changed in temperament. And the people around him have already sensed an aura of dominance emanating from him, with a face full of strength, determination, and calmness.

  Wang Weiye heard Cao Lianchang's words. He opened his eyes to see Cao Xiong standing there. Last night, when Wang Weiye had just arrived at the company, he had already heard this person introduce himself as the company commander. But now that Wang Weiye listened to Cao Xiong's nonsense about sports cars, he couldn't help but feel a little amused in his heart. Wang Weiye shook his head from side to side, exercising his neck, and casually took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, and took a puff. He said nonchalantly: "F**k, don't try to fool me with your nonsense, I've seen plenty of idiots like you in Harbin, and they all ended up being torn apart by me and thrown into the Songhua River to feed the fish. I don't want to do anything to you. According to the rules of our circle, if these guys want to keep their clothes, they have to leave one hand behind. If they don't want to leave their clothes behind, they have to kneel in front of my brothers and kowtow three times. And then, they have to hand over their clothes obediently." As soon as Wang Weiye finished speaking, he didn't care about the people surrounding him, and with a sudden burst of strength, he crushed something under his foot, making a "crack" sound that echoed through the tense and silent camp. Immediately after, a blood-curdling scream pierced the quiet night sky.

  When Cao Xiong heard the mournful cry, his heart skipped a beat, and he hastily shouted loudly: "Stop!"

  But what everyone present did not expect was that Wang Weiye, under the circumstances where he could be shot at any time, still dared to brazenly crush someone's arm, which was simply too arrogant and didn't put them in his eyes at all.

  Cao Xiong was so angry that he almost fell over. He finally realized that the person in front of him was not a simple character in Harbin. Moreover, he could confirm that this bastard was absolutely a fugitive, a man who didn't fear death. Trying to reason with such a person was like playing music to a cow. Cao Xiong had completely lost patience and now hoped that the instructor would report everything to the military district commander, as well as the leaders of the division and regiment. He also hoped that someone from the military district would come to handle this matter. However, since there were no senior leaders present, he had no choice but to threaten Wang Weiye: "Wang Weiye, this is a military base, not some black society's mountain stronghold. Don't bring your thug tactics here. I've been in the army for many years and have arrested many thugs like you. I'm warning you, if you continue to resist, I can order my men to shoot you dead. I don't believe you're not afraid of death!"

  Haha……, Wang Weiye heard Cao Xiong's words and burst into loud laughter. After his laughter subsided, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, different from his usual expression. Those familiar with Wang Weiye knew that this was his angry face, indicating he was about to kill someone.

  Wang Weiye shouted at Cao Xiong: "I fuck your mother! You bunch of bastards are not even worth as much as a dog in my family. When my old man was serving in the army, you were still crawling around in your mother's cunt. Dare to challenge me? You think you can shoot me? Try it now, with that broken firecracker in your hand. I warn you, when you give the order to open fire, I guarantee that within one second, everyone here, including you, will die at my hands. Killing you is as easy as crushing a stinking bug."

  Wang Weiye is now getting angrier the more he talks, originally before he came to the troops, his old man repeatedly warned him to behave and be obedient. But Wang Weiye himself didn't expect that just after arriving at the company for a day, he would provoke someone into hitting him. Now Wang Weiye has become completely reckless, at this point he doesn't care about anything anymore, at most he'll just desert the army and go home to continue being a gang leader. Extremely angrily he said to Cao Xiong: "Damn your mother, my third uncle is in Harbin, the number of people he's killed or chopped up is more than the number of hairs on your mom's head. And this group of bastards, they don't know what kind of people make up this society, if they want to play tough with my third uncle, they're still a bit tender. Today I'll tell you who's the real boss around here."

  When Cao Xiong heard Wang Weiye's threatening words, the 36 million hairs on his body immediately stood up, and cold sweat began to ooze out of his body again. He finally understood that this bastard Wang Weiye was not only a high-ranking official's son but also a black-hearted person at home. These high-ranking officials' sons all relied on their family background and didn't take the law or human life seriously. Even if they killed someone, it would be settled with a mere slap on the wrist. What he didn't expect was that this thug, born into a high-ranking official's family, could be so ruthless and fearless. Cao Xiong had no way to deal with this kind of person; he didn't dare give the order to take him down. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, Platoon Leader Li Hui rushed over from the platoon headquarters.
