Special Forces: Rising from the Ashes of the Lone Wolf

Leaving aside the curiosity, speculation, and sentiments surrounding the central theme of "empty fingers."

Xu Mengyao and Lin Feng walked side by side.

Because he was wearing small leather shoes, he was one centimeter taller than Raymond Lam.

Standing at 182cm tall, her incredibly long legs are truly terrifying!

"You seem to be in a good mood. Have you resolved your parents' issues?"

Xu Mengyao nodded happily: "They are mercenary; they only care about money and connections."

"Once I gave them my bank card, all the problems were solved."

"Yes, they also told me to hold on tight and keep a close eye on you."

"To avoid being manipulated and then discarded when things get boring."

As she spoke, Xu Mengyao gave her a flirtatious look, "Just tell me, will you abandon me?"

"Haha, I could play with those legs of yours for a lifetime!"

The answer, though not a direct one, explained everything.

Xu Mengyao understood immediately and smiled happily.

"Then let's be together after the scars heal?"

Raymond Lam asked slyly, "Can't wait to be my woman?"

"Oh dear, how could you..."

“Alright, alright,” Lin Feng interrupted, “There’s no rush for a romantic wedding; we need to find a suitable time.”

"By the way, try to smile more often in the future."

"I don't like facing a cold face."

There's no problem with this; Xu Mengyao will adjust and change herself.

In the past, she maintained her aloofness and indifference to protect herself.

Now that she has a powerful backer, she no longer needs to keep herself frozen in the past.

Today, or rather last night.

She has reached an agreement with her parents.

With fewer family worries in the future, I can definitely live the life I desire.

Be a happy soldier, a loved woman, and a family-oriented military wife.

Of course, future families will be different from normal families.

However, I believe that men can treat everyone equally.

Now that I've made the choice, I absolutely won't regret it!

...................

The next morning, in the commercial city of Lu Province, at the Construction Bureau.

Xu Da clocked in for work on time.

Although it's still a staff office for 'clerks', the mindset is completely different now.

"Hey Lao Xu, what do you have to say about skipping work yesterday?"

"What the hell are you talking about? Does that mean I'll skip work?"

"Hey Lao Xu, did you eat gunpowder today?"

"Heh, I'm perfectly fine, get out of here!"

Arriving at his desk, Xu Da first brewed a cup of tea, then took out his special panda-themed tea and puffed away happily.

Just then, a woman in her late twenties, dressed in business attire, walked into the office.

He is not tall, about 165 cm.

She's not bad-looking, above average.

However, applying rouge and powder makes one appear very formal and glamorous.

Her name is Yan Ping, and she is the head of the Planning Section, at the level of a full section chief.

"Who is it that repeatedly emphasizes that smoking is not allowed in the office?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Previously, Xu Da was somewhat afraid of this young woman.

She was promoted smoothly because she accompanied the bureau chief on a business trip for a week.

The inside story here is obvious even to someone with their toes.

Now he's completely unfazed, even displaying an expression of disdain and contempt.

Undoubtedly, Yan Ping was furious. She quickly walked to Xu Da's desk and slammed her right hand on the table.

"Comrade Xu, this shows you have no respect for your superiors. Do you not want to advance in your career?"

Pshaw, stop with the bureaucratic airs. Do you think you can scare me?

Xu Da smoked a cigarette and grinned, "I've been doing this for over twenty years, and I'm still just a clerk."

"On the other hand, all you managed to climb onto was the bureau chief's bunk..."

"you shut up!"

To be honest, Yan Ping was genuinely angry, panting heavily.

Although that's how things are, I know it perfectly well.

However, in officialdom, many things cannot be done openly.

Once it's laid bare, it would definitely be considered a violation of the rules!

At that moment, the other colleagues remained silent, acting as if it were none of their business.

At this moment, Yan Ping glared fiercely, gritting her teeth.

At this moment, Xu Da showed no fear, but instead was full of fighting spirit.

"Comrade Lao Xu, you have been absent from work without cause and have not asked for leave."

"This violates the latest regulations for public officials. You will receive an internal warning."

"Given your disrespectful attitude towards leadership and lack of enthusiasm for your work."

"I will recommend to Director Dang Wei that you be approved for early retirement so you can go home and enjoy your retirement!"

In the past, Xu Da would have had no way to deal with this.

But now, he was just as afraid of the table, and the sound was deafening.

"You high-class bastard who rose to power by sleeping around, do you really think you can control everything?"

"Believe it or not, I'll risk everything and expose your dirty business to the city authorities?"

"Besides, you're the only one with powerful connections, don't I?"

As he spoke, Xu Da slammed the entire bag of specially supplied giant pandas onto the table.

Because of the force, it almost knocked the teacup over.

Xu Da, looking imposing, scanned and glared back at Yan Ping.

"You're blind! Do you even recognize what kind of cigarette this is?"

"Hmph, listen up, this is a special supply for those at the vice-ministerial level and above!"

Yes, the words "giant panda" are genuine; even if you haven't seen one, you've heard of it.

I was just wondering, where did the old man get this thing?

He seemed a little dazed upon seeing Yan Ping, and his eyes began to wander.

Xu Da was smug, and his pride was completely undisguised on his face.

"So what if I skipped work?"

"You dare to play dirty tricks, are you afraid of what people will say?"

"Let me tell you, these cigarettes were a gift from my parents' son-in-law, and we still have two whole cartons at home."

"Yes, his name is Lin Feng, deputy director of the First Office of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."

"Now try and touch me!"

　3.4 As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office instantly changed.

The colleagues who had been silent immediately gathered around.

"Tsk tsk, this is truly a special supply for giant pandas, the finest of all cigarettes in the world!"

"His father's status has risen with his daughter's; Brother Xu is truly amazing!"

"Mengyao is super beautiful. I've always thought she'd marry a high-ranking official!"
