After taking in the situation inside the compound, Wen Ziqing was inwardly amazed. This military compound, as expected of General Zhou's longtime residence, was incredibly heavily guarded. Wen Ziqing had handled numerous security missions for top leaders during their visits abroad in his previous life. Honestly, if the current weaponry wasn't as advanced as it is today, General Zhou's guards would be as formidable as the "Dragon Group" of later generations, specifically tasked with protecting top leaders.
Wen Ziqing was a master of disguise and concealment in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have always been known as the number one sniper. If it weren't for Wen Ziqing's sharp eyes, he really wouldn't have discovered that there were no less than ten masters lurking in the small courtyard of General Zhou's family.
Wen Ziqing could tell at a glance that the guards lurking in secret were rare masters. From the bulging muscles on their arms, it could be seen that these guards had strong explosive power, and their disguise was also very well done.
Hmm! There were two guards on the roof at eight o'clock. They blended in with the black tiles in the twilight. If it weren't for their eyes moving flexibly from time to time, they could easily be mistaken for being one of the roof tiles.
On the tree at twelve o'clock, there was a guard leaning against the trunk like a lizard. Except for the dagger on his waist that occasionally emitted a cold light under the moonlight, there was really no flaw that could be found.
At 16 o'clock, there was another guard lying at the corner of the wall, almost blending into the soil at the foot of the wall...
"Boss, 02 has been spotted. Do you want to ambush us in another location?"
"Boss, 03 has been targeted and has moved to the fourteen o'clock position."
"Boss, boss, 06 was discovered, and this kid is even baring his teeth at me."
······
Ouyang Xin, captain of the guards of General Zhou's family, was standing in the front yard, listening to the subtle breathing sounds in the earphone, trying to judge what new tricks these little bastards under his command had come up with today. Suddenly, a series of reports came from his earphone.
Ouyang Xin was shocked. Who was so amazing? How could he see through the disguises of his own men? Ouyang Xin had spent a great deal of time and energy training these guards. He had communicated with the other teams at least ten times, and not once had their disguises been seen through.
Remembering his own boasts, Ouyang Xin thought it was the Kyoto Guards who had come to his house to "kick" him. Never mind, he'd finally fallen into the gutter today, so let old man Ren Dahai have his moment!
After making up his mind, Ouyang Xin walked towards the gate of the military compound.
In the study, General Zhou was reading a newspaper.
"Report." Ouyang Xin called out after knocking on the door.
"Ouyang, come in!" General Zhou put down the newspaper in his hand and called out to the door. He picked up the reading glasses he had taken off the table to read the newspaper and put them on his nose. General Zhou was old and his eyes were a little presbyopic. When he read the newspaper, he had to take off his glasses to see the rice-sized words clearly.
"General, we have discovered a promising talent. Do you want to call him in for questioning?" After receiving a report from his subordinates, Ouyang Xin hurried out the door, only to see that the "master" his subordinates were talking about was actually Miss Zhou Yuanyuan's fiancé Wen Ziqing.
Ouyang Xin had met Wen Ziqing before. In his impression, Wen Ziqing was just a slightly mature young man. He did not expect that Wen Ziqing had such high military literacy that he could see through the disguises and hiding places of several secret guards at a glance, which made Ouyang Xin feel that he valued his talent.
Ouyang Xin had been with General Zhou all year long, so how could he not know that General Zhou had already kicked Wen Ziqing out of the running for "great-grandson-in-law" some time ago? Recently, General Zhou had been getting close to Cao Yunfei and Zhu Xiangyang, hoping to see if Cao Yizhi and Zhu Xiaoshan were worthy of his young lady, Zhou Yuanyuan.
Ouyang Xin likes young people who are talented and hardworking the most. Wen Ziqing inadvertently showed off his skills, which made Ouyang Xin want to help him.
"Oh? Even better than you, Ouyang?" General Zhou became interested. Ouyang Xin himself was very strong, and General Zhou had never heard Ouyang Xin praise someone like that.
"Yes, General, he's better than me." Although Ouyang Xin felt a little ashamed, he still spoke the truth. He didn't think he could see through the disguises of ten of his secret guards in a minute. With Ouyang Xin's ability, it would take at least ten minutes.
"Well, please invite him in!" General Zhou couldn't help but sit up straighter when he heard this. Ouyang Xin knew that this was a sign that General Zhou was interested in someone.
Ouyang Xin saluted General Zhou before turning around, walking to the door and opening it.
Outside the study, there stood a young man looking uneasy. It was Wen Ziqing.
"Go in!" Ouyang Xin said softly.
Looking at the majestic old man so close, China's "God of War", Wen Ziqing was very excited. Wen Ziqing felt that his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be jumping out of his mouth.
After being reminded by Ouyang Xin, Wen Ziqing took a deep breath and walked into General Zhou's study.
After Ouyang Xin and Wen Ziqing walked in, they quickly closed the door and stood guard outside.
"Wen... Ziqing?" When General Zhou saw Wen Ziqing, his aura couldn't help but rise. He stared at Wen Ziqing in front of him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to stare a hole in Wen Ziqing's body.
"Yes, General, I am Wen Ziqing." Wen Ziqing straightened up and saluted General Zhou with a standard military salute.
"Boy, you are so brave. Who told you to come to me, an old man?" General Zhou leaned forward slightly, his voice full of majesty.
By the time General Zhou recognized Zhou Zhixin, Zhao Qingshan had already arranged a marriage for Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing. Although General Zhou was unhappy that his well-behaved great-granddaughter had been branded a Wen family member at such a young age, he remained silent on the marriage for Zhao Qingshan's sake. Firstly, Zhao Qingshan had been Zhou Zhixin's father-in-law, supporting her throughout her humble years, and General Zhou couldn't dictate Zhao Qingshan's decision based on his personal preferences. Secondly, when Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were engaged, she was a mere country girl, while Wen Yiran was already a high-ranking official in Qingshan City. This marriage, from every perspective, seemed to indicate that the Wen family didn't mind Zhou Yuanyuan's upbringing. If General Zhou had opposed the marriage, wouldn't it have seemed like Zhou Zhixin had forgotten her family after rising to prominence?
"General, no one asked me to come here. I came here on my own. I... I like Yuanyuan and I don't want to be separated from her." Under the suppression of General Zhou's momentum, Wen Ziqing didn't know what happened, but he opened his mouth and spoke loudly to General Zhou what was in his heart.
