such an event occur again.Pan Liming stood on the rooftop, feeling a cold sweat break out as he thought of what just transpired. He never would have imagined that Wang Zheng would lay this trap; if th...Chapter 51: Little Han's Arranged Marriage

"Tell me, what happened" Li Minghao sat on the bedside with a voice even grimmer than his expression.

He had been there for quite some time, waiting until Huang Bo cried himself out before asking.

"Three men, one woman, two Caucasians. They were very powerful. I only got hit four times but my hands and feet were already shattered."

This revelation even stirred something within Li Minghao. To be able to crush bones and flesh with just a single punch was an ability he himself, who held himself in high regard, could not achieve!

When did such foreign experts come to the capital What is their purpose here Li Minghao's expression grew increasingly severe.

"Boss, that Chinese man asked me to pass on a message: ‘From now on, you won’t be the sole ruler of this underground world in the capital.’"

“Oh” A flash of coldness appeared in Li Minghao's eyes. After a long silence, he patted Huang Bo’s shoulder and said, "Huang Bo, rest assured that I’ll take care of your injuries. Don’t worry; you are my brother, and I promise to get back everything you lost from them."

"I, Li Minghao, have never gone back on my word."

Three days had passed, and Wang Zheng had searched through every book he could find but still couldn't determine the true cause of the poison affecting the Shangguan family. This made him rather anxious.

"Sigh, if only I could contact Old Man now. Truly don’t know where this old rascal has run off to." Wang Zheng closed a bound book and sighed.

Wang Zheng realized that Old Man had a deeper intention when he sent him to the Shangguan family as a bodyguard for Shangguan Shishi. Although Wang Zheng didn't understand what exactly Old Man's intentions were, he knew it must be related to something from the past.

Dragonscale was established by Old Man himself; everyone bore his mark deeply within them. The first generation of Dragonscale special forces almost suffered a total loss, either sacrificing their lives or falling into despair. Old Man must have been more heartbroken than anyone else. Although Wang Zheng hadn't seen Old Man since then, he knew that this old fox who wouldn’t die easily was surely brewing something much bigger.

Wang Zheng wasn't satisfied with Dragonscale, and the cunning old man felt even more unsatisfied.

But before Wang Zheng entered the capital city, Old Man had repeatedly warned him that if they didn't get in touch, Wang Zheng shouldn’t try to contact him. Wang Zheng believed his instructions without a doubt and never went against them.

"Old Man, what are you busy with now An old man who doesn't die is considered a thief; don't become such an unsavory character that you end up dying too soon," Wang Zheng sighed to the heavens, suddenly feeling lost.

Old Man was Wang Zheng's teacher and had been respectfully called "Toxic Doctor General" by China’s military in his generation. With Old Man's remarkable achievements back then, he should have held a position as a commander of one of several major military regions after the founding of the country, but Old Man showed no interest in such positions. He was solely dedicated to training special forces.

Because of this dedication, Old Man was respectfully called "Father of China's Special Forces" by China’s soldiers.

The greatest aspiration of Old Man’s life was to cultivate a super special force capable of intimidating international counterparts and instilling fear in other countries' special forces. Therefore, he poured all his efforts into the first generation Dragonscale unit. The dragon has its scales on its neck; if touched, it will surely become enraged. Old Man named this unit Dragonscale with high hopes. He wished for this force to be China's "protective scales," clearing away every obstacle necessary for the country.

Wang Zheng was Old Man’s last disciple and also the captain of the Dragonscale special forces unit. Although he wasn't the oldest in the group, no one questioned his authority. Together with Old Man, from selecting all members to formulating training and combat plans, Wang Zheng participated personally throughout. In Dragonscale, there were only two individuals who could make decisions without dispute: Old Man and Wang Zheng.

This level of authority was something even the other three top experts in Dragonscale didn't possess.

However, a force once invincible had fallen at the hands of their own people.

The past cannot be thought about, as it causes heartache.

There have been too many recent developments—starting with Sheng Fei being poisoned out of the blue and ending with上官家正falling into a mysterious coma; Wang Zheng has no idea what's going on. Today, he learned about Li Minghao’s situation, which made him realize that the situation in Beijing is becoming increasingly complex.

Currently, Sheng Fei and Han Xinye are staying at the villa on Tianshingshan Mountain. Wang Zheng checks on their daily lives and even inspects the face washes and moisturizers they use. Thankfully, after上官家正fell into a coma, the opposition has been inactive.

However, this passive defense is not in line with Wang's style; it frustrates him to no end.

On the other hand, Shangguan Shi Shi has shown great initiative. She inherited her father’s business acumen and quickly consolidated most of Juruo International’s resources. This commercial behemoth hasn't been affected by a leadership change. Moreover, with Wang Zheng watching closely, those unscrupulous directors haven’t dared to make any moves. Shi Shi has even taken over the shares of Mei Long Group that belong to her, making her the largest shareholder and decision-maker in China’s leading white-electronics company. Cheng Kangmei's life work seems destined to be handed over.

But Cheng Kangmei can do nothing about it; his fingers itch from time to time with a poison whose antidote is controlled by Wang Zheng. If he doesn't comply, there won't be any relief. However, as long as he behaves, Wang Zheng provides him the antidote monthly.

Cheng Kangmei would do anything for survival; Cheng Yuling was his biggest card, but now that even this ace has been dealt with by Wang Zheng without a fight, he dares not take any risks. Once fallen, redemption is hard to come by; Cheng Kangmei deeply regrets ever considering harming Shangguan Shi Shi because otherwise, Mei Long Group could have fought against Juruo International’s foray into white-electronics.

Cheng Kangmei feels wronged but has no solutions. He can only follow Shangguan Shi Shi's orders; he had planned to use his connections and channels to play some tricks, but found that although Shi Shi is inexperienced, she matches her father’s acumen in such matters. Cheng Kangmei tried every covert move, but they were all discovered by Shi Shi. Finally, Cheng Kangmei gave up on any schemes due to the importance of his life.

Shangguan Shi Shi was busy reorganizing Juruo International and spent most days in her office; Han Xinye tagged along like a shadow, so later, Shi Shi set up an office desk for him in her executive suite just for browsing e-commerce platforms and reading gossip.

Of course, Han Xinye cannot live carefree forever. She is now facing the same major issue as Wang Zheng.

"What I'm supposed to go home for an arranged marriage" Han Xinye jumped up upon receiving a call and shouted: "Han Desu, what are you thinking Did water or gutter oil get into your brain Your daughter is still so young."

Han Tuosu growled through the phone, saying, "Come back home; otherwise, I'll have your mother come and bring you back herself."

"My mom" Han Xinye shouted in anger: "Han Tuosu, Han Laohu! Do you think nobody knows that you're under your wife's control You act like a tough guy all day long outside, but why do you become such a pushover at home"

"How dare you speak to your father this way" Han Tuosu was clearly quite angry: "You must be back home by noon tomorrow. I've arranged a相親for you and you are not allowed to be late; otherwise, I'll have Li Jian send people to come and fetch you!"

"What should I do What should I do Old Han is losing it! Shi Shi, please give me some advice!"

Han Xinye ran next to Shangguang Shishi and shook her shoulders vigorously, his little face looking pitiful.

Shangguang Shishi lifted her head from a pile of documents and said with relish, "What's the rush What if it turns out to be your ideal match Maybe he'll be a handsome, well-built guy. Who knows, you two might hit it off right away!"

"I don't want some pretty boy; I'm not interested at all. I haven't had enough fun yet and definitely don't want to get married so early. Shi Shi, you're my best friend; you must give me some advice!"

Shangguang Shishi put away her smile as she frowned slightly, "You're barely over twenty years old. Why is your dad in such a hurry to marry you off"

Han Xinye was surprised by this turn of events, and even Shangguang Shishi found it puzzling. Han Tuosu's indulgence towards Han Xinye was well-known throughout the capital; he had never let her suffer any setbacks in life. If she were bullied outside, he would personally take people to beat up the culprit and demand an apology from their parents. Few in the upper echelons of society didn't know about his spoiling behavior, which only fueled Shangguang Shishi's suspicion.

"That's right, that's right! Old Han doesn't make sense at all; he even wanted me to stay by his side for life," said Han Xinye with a pitiful tone: "I don't want to get married and I definitely don't want to go on this blind date. Wait, isn't the blind date based on mutual consent If I say I'm not interested in him, won’t that suffice"ll have to give me some leeway," Wang Zheng said. "However, that little girl, Bella, won't go with you; she only likes Chinese men and isn't interested in someone as dark-skinned as you.""What's about...
