Although Zhou An was young, his abilities were even greater than Zhou Xi's. Zhou An's abilities weren't just reflected in his much higher martial arts skills, but more importantly, he was experienced and not as impulsive as most young people.
To be honest, Wen Yulong had also "coveted" the position of deputy captain of the special operations team, but unfortunately the appearance of Zhou An shattered his dream. It would be strange if Wen Yulong liked Zhou An.
"Commander Wen, what am I doing here? I'll do whatever you do." Facing the furious Wen Yulong, Zhou Xi wore a faint smile. If it weren't for Wen Ziqing, Zhou Xi wouldn't even bother to look at Wen Yulong. Even if others didn't know, how could Zhou Xi not know about the little affair between Wen Yulong and Wu Xiuli?
As the saying goes, "A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix; a mouse's son will dig holes." For the first year or two after Zhou Xi learned Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were engaged, he was apprehensive, fearing Wen Ziqing would become as unreliable as Wen Yulong. After several years of observation, Zhou Xi finally let go of his wariness. He secretly congratulated himself: "Fortunately, Ziqing is nothing like his father. Otherwise, Zhou Xi would have wanted to persuade his young lady to break off the engagement."
"Zhou An, don't think your special position gives you free rein. You must understand that what you're doing now is enough to bring shame upon General Zhou." Wen Yulong righteously "taught" Zhou Xi a lesson. He was a little intimidated by Zhou Xi's special operations team. He'd heard that last month, during a training session at the Northeast Military Region, three members of the special operations team took down three thousand elite soldiers in five minutes. Such combat prowess was something Wen Yulong had never heard of before, and it made him even more wary of Zhou Xi.
"Tsk! Idiot. I really don't know if you're from the old Wen family. You don't have your father's intelligence at all." Zhou Xi really didn't know how to talk to Wen Yulong. In terms of closeness, Wen Yulong was second to none in Kyoto City. No one dared to claim first place.
Wen Yulong chose to cling to He Shumin, despite the Zhou and Zhao families being legitimate relatives. If it weren't for the considerations of General Zhou and Wen Yiran, Wen Yulong's life after the He family's downfall would have been far worse. And yet, this idiot still believes his smooth sailing in the Kyoto Military Region stems from his own strong personal charm. It's truly hilarious.
"Zhou An, did you hear that? The mission here belongs to our Kyoto Military District. Although your special operations team is powerful, you can't just extend your claws, right?" Wen Yulong saw that Zhou Xi ignored him, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Look, what is this?" Zhou Xi slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms and held it in front of Wen Yulong.
Wen Yulong straightened up after just a few words. This wasn't just any paper; it was a special dispatch order, handwritten by the highest-ranking official. It clearly stated that the Yunyun Garment Factory case was under the jurisdiction of the Special Action Team, and all other units and individuals were required to cooperate unconditionally. In the lower right corner of the special dispatch order, written in a flamboyant style, were the name of the current supreme leader.
"Well, did you see clearly? When it comes to showing off your power, no one can compare to you, Wen Yulong." Zhou Xi waited for Wen Yulong to finish reading it, then took back the warrant, which weighed heavily on him, folded it, and placed it back in his arms. Wen Yulong had just said he was "showing off his power," wasn't that just a way of calling him the general's "running dog"? Pah! You, Wen Yulong, want to be our general's "running dog," but you're not even capable of that!
Wen Yulong's face flushed with anger at Zhou Xi's rebuke. Honestly, the mission wasn't actually Wen Yulong's; he'd gotten it by force. Xu Zhiyuan took the powder he'd found at Zhao Yunxiang's factory back to the Public Security Bureau and immediately had it tested by their experts. Concluding it was drugs, Xu Zhiyuan reported the matter to his superiors.
After receiving Xu Zhiyuan's report, Minister Chen called Commander Yuan of the Kyoto Military Region and asked him to dispatch a team of soldiers to assist the police in securing the scene. After all, drug trafficking had been rampant in Kyoto recently, and Minister Chen was determined not to let go of the clues he had finally uncovered at the Yunyun Garment Factory.
Minister Chen never said that he suspected Zhao Yunxiang was a drug dealer. Minister Chen didn't know how many accomplices the drug dealer had, so to be on the safe side, he asked Commander Yuan for help.
Wen Yulong happened to be in Commander Yuan's office. When he heard Minister Chen's loud voice coming from the microphone in Commander Yuan's hand, he automatically led the matter to Zhao Yunxiang.
As soon as Commander Yuan put down the phone, Wen Yulong excitedly said that he would personally lead two teams of soldiers to carry out the mission. Commander Yuan just said: "You can lead the team, but you have to..."
Before Commander Yuan finished speaking, Wen Yulong had already excitedly run out of Commander Yuan's office, gathered his men and "charged" towards the Yunyun Garment Factory.
Commander Yuan was stunned. Aren't Wen Yulong and the Zhou family in-laws? Why did Wen Yulong look like he wasn't helping his mother-in-law clear her name, but rather seeking revenge?
The more Commander Yuan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he called General Zhou.
General Zhou was quite familiar with Wen Yulong. After learning about the engagement between his good-natured great-granddaughter and the Wen family's son, he had already thoroughly investigated the Wen family's affairs.
Fortunately, Commander Yuan called in time, so Zhou Xi was able to rush to Yunyun Garment Factory in such a short time, eliminating the possibility of Wen Yulong continuing to "do evil".
Wen Yulong certainly felt indescribable emotions about Zhou Xi's behavior.
Wen Yulong was really jealous of Zhou Zhixin.
Wen Yulong first heard of Zhou Zhixin's family at the Wen family home in Qingshan City. At the time, Zhou Zhixin was still a battalion-level officer, while Wen Yulong was already the deputy commander of the Southeast Military Region. Even when Wen Yulong visited home, he carried documents that needed urgent attention. And Zhou Zhixin? His family looked like country bumpkins, forgetting to take off their shoes when they entered their home, leaving muddy footprints on their floor.
Wen Yulong was naturally in no mood to entertain such in-laws. He used the excuse of having official business and hid in his study, not coming out to have dinner with Zhou Zhixin.
When Wen Yulong heard about Zhou Zhixin again, he was already General Zhou's grandson, leading a newly formed special forces corps in training. What was Wen Yulong thinking at the time? Wen Yulong remembered being skeptical of Zhou Zhixin's special forces. He always believed that the military was supposed to follow orders; how could it be divided into separate units? Zhou Zhixin's small, coordinated special forces unit was merely a publicity stunt.
