Bang!

In the dimly lit room, Qin Feng slowly snuffed out his cigarette.

Through the faint light, you could see that the ashtray before him was full of cigarette butts, and two empty packs lay on the floor. The entire room was shrouded in smoke, as if it were on fire.

One night, he smoked two whole boxes of cigarettes.

But before that, he had never smoked a cigarette.

To be precise, he hasn't smoked a cigarette since he became a national figure.

Because, for someone who needs to hide, smoke is deadly!

"Whew"

Qin Feng took a deep breath of the turbid air, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains. The morning light streamed through the glass into the room.

Blinded, a momentary lapse appeared on his resolute face.

Instantly, he slowly shifted his gaze, taking in this special forces base renowned as the most divine. A profound sense of reluctance welled up in his eyes.

A moment later, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air outside his window, then turned and walked to the bed, squatting down and gently picking up the neatly folded clothes.

This uniform is specialized for special forces operatives, with a sword embroidered on the patch.

Because of this badge, this special unit with no designation or known affiliation was called "Sword" by foreign countries.

It is the most divine existence in Chinese civilization.

None can compare!

But in Hua Xia, this squad is known as "Dragon's Fang," the most coveted sanctuary everyone yearns to join!

Qin Feng gently brushed along the folds of his clothing, moving very softly and slowly, as if he were brushing against himself.

Finally, his fingers landed on a golden medal, gleaming like electricity. He trembled slightly, then carefully picked it up, holding it in his palm as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

"Boom boom..."

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Feng, hearing the sound, gently placed the medal on his clothes and walked towards the door.

Click!

The door creaked open, and four people stood in the doorway, blocking Qin Feng's path. They looked anxious: "Team... Captain!"

What are you doing?

Qin Feng smiled, but the smile was somewhat strained.

"Are you really leaving?"

Four people, their eyes red with tears, all spoke at once.

“It wasn’t a departure, but a dismissal.” Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"Captain, we beg you, stay with us!"

"That's right, Mengzi has already left. You can't leave either!"

The two people at the front spoke in succession, then fell into a short silence.

The two words "Mengzi" touched their hearts, and at the same time made Qin Feng's son feel a sharp pain!

Meng Zi Chen Meng, once their brother, was a comrade-in-arms on the battlefield, someone you could trust with your life.

But now, Chen Meng has gone, leaving this world forever!

This happened just a few days ago, and Qin Feng being fired was directly related to this.

"My duty is to obey orders. The higher-ups have made their decision, and it cannot be changed." Qin Feng adjusted his collar and said in a deep voice.

"Captain, if you insist on leaving, we'll go with you…" The four of them looked determined to follow him to the end.

"Stop fooling around and get to training right now!"

Qin Feng interrupted the four people's conversation.

No response.

Four people stood before Qin Feng like a wall, refusing to budge.

"I haven't been officially dismissed yet, are you trying to disobey orders? Or have you all forgotten that I am still your captain?" Qin Feng glared at them and reprimanded loudly.

"Captain..."

Facing Qin Feng's scolding, the four of them felt a lump in their throats and their eyes welled up with tears.

As members of the Dragon Fang, they possess indomitable hearts and unwavering willpower. Even as their last drop of blood is shed, not a single tear will fall from their eyes.

But at this very moment, they couldn't help but shed tears.

"When did you all become such pussies? If I were still your captain, I'd have you all running drills!"

Qin Feng reprimanded again, his voice trembling slightly.

The four brothers didn't want him to leave, and he wouldn't want to leave this "home" either.

"Yes!"

This time, the four of them shouted in unison, then saluted, turned and ran away, their footsteps echoing through the dormitory in perfect rhythm.

As Qin Feng watched the four people leave, his eyes turned red. But soon, he regained his composure and quickly walked out of the dormitory.

"Salute!"

As Qin Feng's footsteps stepped out of the dormitory, a roar erupted outside.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

……

Sounds arose, including the previous four people, ten of the most outstanding individuals in Huaxia, bowing respectfully to Qin Feng.

They, along with Qin Feng and the deceased Chen Meng, formed the Dragon's Fang, a legendary force that struck fear into the hearts of those abroad.

"To fight alongside you is the greatest fortune of my life, and I look forward to a new Dragon's Fang emerging from your ranks!"

Whoosh!

Qin Feng spoke in a hoarse voice, slowly raising his right arm and making a standard salute, textbook perfect.

After that, he put down his arms and, amidst the reluctant gazes of the ten people, slowly walked towards the base gate.

"Master..."

Gazing at Qin Feng's departing figure, the only one among the ten people lightly bit their lip, a look of unspoken words on their face. Ultimately, they held back from speaking.

At the entrance of the base, a jeep had been waiting for a long time. A man sat in the back seat, watching Qin Feng slowly approach, his expression very complex.

His last name is Wang, his first name is Hu. He's the captain of this amazing team!

"Report, Qin Feng reporting!"

In Wang Hu's complex gaze, Qin Feng walked to the car and saluted to report.

"Get on the bus."

Wang Hu put away his complicated emotions and got straight to the point.

"Yes!"

Qin Feng responded loudly, then walked to the other side of the car and opened the door.

After doing all that, he couldn't help but cast a glance back at his comrades who were still standing at attention in front of the base. Then he got into the car.

As the automobile started, Qin Feng was about to place the robes and Dragon Tooth Badge in his hands.

However—

Before he could finish his words, Wang Hu interrupted directly: "You should tell your superiors yourself. Only they can decide your fate."

Clearly, he was well aware that anyone who spoke up to keep Qin Feng would face no opposition. Similarly, if that person insisted on expelling Qin Feng, no one would dare disagree!

The result is already decided, so why bother looking for him?

Qin Feng spoke in a low voice and did not retract the Dragon's Tooth Medal.

Wang Hu was silent.

“As the captain of the elite unit, Dragon Fang, under the command of General Weilijian, I crossed the national border unilaterally and engaged in combat within another nation. This act not only violates regulations but also international law, and could even potentially spark a war, making me a traitor to my country!” Qin Feng said in a low voice.

"If you were given another chance, would you still do it?" Wang Hu asked instinctively. After he spoke, he felt it was a pointless question.

"Repayment, those bastards killed Mengzi, I have to kill them!"

As if to confirm Wang Hu's judgment, Qin Feng responded coldly, and couldn't help but recall the scene from that day. The air was filled with a strong killing intent. He felt an urge to smash the heads of those mercenaries again.

"Such a narrow margin. If you were on our territory and wiped out those mercenaries, you wouldn't just be spared, but would be hailed as a hero for your service. What a pity…"

Wang Hu sighed, his voice laced with regret and a hint of disbelief—which organization had the audacity to attack Longya?

Despite using all available channels of information, the military has yet to uncover any details about that organization.

Wang Hu shook his head, no longer thinking about the question, but repeated to Qin Feng, "Are you really sure you won't go find him?"

I know him better than you and I'm more aware of some things.

Qin Feng's answer was evasive, hinting at something else.

"Alright..."

Wang Hu sighed again.

As the car started, Qin Feng looked at his "home" and his brothers through the rearview mirror, watching them gradually disappear. His heart was complex.

Will the captain be back?

Watching the car drive away, the ten members of the Dragon's Teeth couldn't help but silently ask themselves.

There is no answer.

But they knew, since Qin Feng had left the military camp, he would definitely eradicate the organization that orchestrated the massacre of the Dragon's Teeth from Earth!

……

"Chief, I have a request."

After the car drove a long way from the base, Qin Feng finally retracted his gaze and spoke again.

"You said."

Wang Hu was somewhat stunned, more so with a sense of doubt. He doubted what Qin Feng was requesting.

"Can you tell his family the truth about Mengzi's departure?" Qin Feng closed his eyes, turned his head to look at Wang Hu, and his expression was serious outside the table.

"No, that's the rule!"

Wang Hu shook his head resolutely. The Dragon's Tooth squad was the blade of Hua Xia, and the members inside not only had classified files, but once sacrificed, when the death notice was issued, the true circumstances would be concealed, replacing them with training-related deaths.

"I know this is the rule, but have you ever thought about how they defend the country and people with their lives, risking death? After they die, not only can they not be considered heroes, even their true cause of death has to be concealed. Isn't that too cruel?"

Qin Feng's mood was a bit agitated.

"It's certainly harsh, but rules are rules. Besides, you should know this is also a kind of protection for the families of our team members - we fight against criminals on the border line all year round, and get exposed to countless dangers. If something were to happen to us, it would be a nightmare for their families!"

Wang Hu said in a deep voice, then handed Qin Feng an envelope. “This is Chen Meng’s death notice and condolence money. The card code is six 1s. You are responsible for delivering it to Chen Meng’s family—this is your last mission!”

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, but still silently took the envelope.

"After completing this last task, what are you going to do?"

After the car arrived in the city, Wang Hu and Qin Feng got out together and couldn't help but ask.

"This task is not that easy to finish."

Qin Feng's words were startling.

"Uh..."

Wang Hu was stunned and puzzled.

Goodbye!

Qin Feng bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

This day.

He didn't tell Wang Hu that on the day Chen Meng died, although he had crossed the border line alone and killed twenty-eight mercenaries, some mercenaries still escaped.

He also didn't tell Wang Hu that Chen Meng always violated regulations when carrying out missions—carrying a photo of his sister in his arms.

But that day.

He couldn't find a photo on Chen Meng's profile, nor could he find one on the profiles of those deceased mercenaries.

……

Just that afternoon, the day Qin Feng was expelled, on the top floor of a private club in Beijing that all the spoiled young masters dreamed of getting into.

A young man in a business suit stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the towering skyscrapers and endless stream of traffic below, lost in thought.

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the glass, illuminating her peerless beauty and proud figure. She seemed to be draped in a golden veil, breathtakingly captivating.

"Bang...bang..."

A moment later, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room and pulled the young man back from his reverie.

"Come in."

The young man slowly spat out two words, without using the word "please." His originally placid eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Sister Xueyan, I heard Qin Feng was fired."

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the room, stopped three meters away from the younger man, and spoke.

"I never expected you to return in such a way..."

The young man cast his eyes toward the distant sky, answering nothing. His tone was complex, tinged with both mockery and melancholy.

"Snow Yan, are you still struggling with this?"

The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, the day he chose to leave, your fate was sealed - you were chosen to be someone's king, while he was just a nameless person who couldn't even possess a name."

He is also Wang.

The setting sun is dazzling.

The young man closed his eyes slightly, speaking softly as if in reply to the youth, yet also as if talking to himself.

But now he is nothing.

A young man with gold-rimmed glasses retorted, "To be blunt, without the Qin family's ring, he wouldn't even be qualified to carry your bag!"

"You underestimated him."

The young man shook his head slightly, then said with increasing conviction: "Once, he could rule the roost in the Beijing courtyard, daring to interrupt Yang Ce in public. Later, for the sake of a single dragon tooth, who would dare say he was incapable of anything?"

"It's not that he's incapable of doing anything, I just think he isn't good enough for you." The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses hesitated before speaking.

"At three years old, you can see the future; at seven years old, you can see the end. I, Li Xueyan, believe that the man I choose will never let me down."

The young man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, hands propping up the glass, gazing at the distant sky. He seemed to see the future, his voice firm and powerful. "Even if we assume the worst, even if he truly shamed the Qin family and made others look better, then I would consider myself pecked blind by an eagle!"
