Wife is safe, cute baby makes trouble in the world of special forces.

Outside the Wolf Fang Tribunal, a military off-road vehicle sat quietly, its engine still running, its deep rumble like a lurking beast, a stark contrast to the extremely oppressive atmosphere inside.

A bull's head and a horse's face sat side by side in the front row.

The anger on their faces had not diminished at all; their brows were furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly, and the flames in their eyes were almost bursting out.

"Damn it! That old stubborn Fang Tangjing is completely blind!"

Niu Tou slammed his fist on the steering wheel, causing the horn to emit a short, piercing blast.

"Director Wen showed him the surveillance footage, clearly showing Lei Zhan arbitrarily changing the raid plan and sending Yan Wang as an undercover agent, just like Chen Haonan did, which led to his death. And he still dares to say 'the evidence is questionable'? I think he's been blinded by the factionalism of the Wolf Fang gang and can't even distinguish right from wrong!"

Horse Face held his phone, his knuckles bulging, his tone as deep as a piece of iron that had been heated red-hot and then quenched with ice.

“It’s not that he’s blind, it’s that he’s pretending to be ignorant. Lei Zhan is He Zhijun’s prized student, he’s one of the Wolf Fang’s ‘own people,’ he has a whole cabinet full of medals, and he’s a veteran, so he’s reluctant to touch them.”

"You can't bear to take the blame, so you'll use a child as a scapegoat?"

Niu Tou interrupted him, his tone full of indignation.

"Chen Haonan is only nine years old, with no background or connections, yet he led the Big Black Commando Team to become the national champion with his own skills, stealing the limelight from the veteran commando teams. They see this kid as a thorn in their side, and the death of the King of Hell is just an excuse to take advantage of the situation!"

Horse Face nodded slowly, his eyes full of helplessness.

“You and I both know that the Wolf Fang circle is only so big, and the conservatives make up the majority. They can’t tolerate outsiders, let alone a young upstart taking their jobs. Chen Haonan’s Demon Pill Base has taken away their training resources, and the Big Black Commando has repeatedly overwhelmed the veteran troops. They’ve wanted to suppress this kid for a long time.”

"Suppress him?"

Bull Head chuckled, his eyes instantly filled with heartache.

"They're not trying to suppress a child, they're trying to destroy the future of Yan's special forces! How many exceptionally talented soldiers have we seen since we came out of the Fifth Army? Someone like Chen Haonan, who understands three-dimensional tactics at the age of nine, is more skilled at defusing bombs with his bare hands than dismantling building blocks, and leads his team to victory with zero casualties, is one in a hundred years!"

"You and I know best."

Horse Face's tone carried a hint of lingering fear and regret.

"Many people reach his level by the age of twenty, enduring countless life-or-death challenges in jungle survival, extreme combat, and intelligence reconnaissance. This kid's tactical thinking is innate; he can find the optimal solution on the ever-changing battlefield, and his ability to lead troops far surpasses that of all other commanders of his generation."

"In the last National Special Forces Competition, your Bull Demon Squad was utterly defeated by the Big Black Commando Team. If you nurture a talent like him properly, he will definitely become the king of soldiers in the future and will be able to support the Yan Kingdom's special forces!"

"But these conservatives in the Wolf Fang faction only care about their own little corner of the world!"

Niu Tou became increasingly angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently and his breathing becoming heavy.

"Just because Chen Haonan's Demon Pill Base stole their training resources, and just because the Big Black Commando Team overshadowed the veteran Wolf Fang troops, they took advantage of Yama's death to make trouble, disbanding the base and imprisoning his brothers, determined to uproot this promising talent!"

Horse Face took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his eyes became incredibly determined.

"We can't let them succeed. Now that we've come out of the courtroom, we don't intend to stand idly by. Even if it means offending Commander He and Minister Li, we have to protect this child."

Bull Head was filled with anxiety.

He knew He Zhijun too well. This man was extremely competitive and fiercely protective of his own. In his eyes, Chen Haonan's current actions were a blatant challenge to the authority of the Wolf Fang, and he would never let it go.

"We need to think of something practical, like contacting our old comrades from Wolf Fang and asking them to slow down and not actually kill us!" Niu Tou said urgently, as this was the safest solution he could think of at the moment.

Horse Face shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"It's no use. Commander He is most likely blinded by rage right now. The people around him are all old men from the Wolf Fang Clan, and no one dares to disobey him."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice from inside the Wolf Fang interrupted their conversation.

Then a familiar young voice, hoarse and resolute, pierced their hearts like a red-hot dagger—it was Chen Haonan!

"Men of Wolf Fang! Listen up!"

Both the bull-headed and horse-faced men were startled at the same time. They looked at each other and saw shock and panic in each other's eyes.

Niu Tou subconsciously sat up straight, his hands clenching involuntarily. A sense of foreboding washed over him.

Chen Haonan's voice instantly became clear, each word filled with anger and a desperate determination.

"I don't want to be dragged back and judged like a criminal after I leave! Today, I'm making this clear—I never believed that the King of Hell died by my hand!"

"You Wolf Fang troops just think that I, a mere youth, have stolen your resources and overshadowed you veteran troops, so you're using Yama's death as an excuse to make trouble!"

"Don't you have any idea how many merits I've made?"

Chen Haonan's voice suddenly rose, filled with the stubbornness and anger unique to young people.

"As a result, you just treat me like an immature child, thinking I can't cause any trouble, and that all my achievements are just luck! You treat me perfunctorily, suppress me, divert the training materials of the Demon Pill Base to the veteran assault team, disband my team, lock my brothers in solitary confinement and give them a cold shoulder, and now you even block my way to go to the capital to seek justice, is that right?"

Bull Head's clenched fist trembled slightly, his nails almost digging into his palm.

His eyes were full of heartache, and he murmured to himself.

"This child has truly been driven to desperation..."

Niu Tou felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if something was tearing at it.

After meeting Chen Haonan at the National Special Forces Summit, he knew better than anyone that this kid never complained and always silently bore any grievances.

The fact that he can say these words now means he must have suffered a tremendous injustice.

Horse Face's expression also turned serious, his brows furrowed even more, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"He's too stubborn and inflexible. Once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it. He's capable of anything once he feels he has no way out—the Wolf Fang gang has driven him to the brink."

Horse Face was filled with worry.

He knew Chen Haonan's temperament; he seemed stubborn, but in reality, he was pure at heart. All he did was seek justice, but the conservatives of Wolf Fang gave him no chance and forced him into a corner.

Chen Haonan's voice continued, each word striking their hearts like a heavy hammer.

"I just want real fairness! Not your handout of 'let bygones be bygones,' not your perfunctory offer of letting me go back to school! I want the truth! I want Lei Zhan to take responsibility for his command errors and stand up to admit his mistakes; I want Fang Tangjing to apologize for his favoritism and corruption and withdraw the false accusations against me; I want you conservatives to stop using 'children' as an excuse to suppress truly capable people!"

"Whether you think I've betrayed you or turned to the dark side, I am who I am, Chen Haonan!"

His voice carried an undeniable resolve, like a piece of hard steel.

I will not compromise with any faction, nor fear any conservative forces! I, Chen Haonan, act with integrity and uprightness; I accept credit for my achievements and admit my mistakes, but I will absolutely not take the blame for others! Absolutely not!

"I am a soldier! My duty is to defend the country and safeguard peace, not to guard your Langya Mountain, not to protect your vested interests, and not to watch you officials protect each other and ruin the honor of soldiers!"

"not good!"

Bull Head slapped his thigh suddenly, his eyes filled with panic, and his voice changed.

"This kid's going to do something big! Judging from his tone, he really has no intention of turning back! He definitely has weapons; if the Wolf Fang guys dare to come at him head-on, he'll fight to the death!"

Bull Head panicked.

He knew Chen Haonan's temper all too well; once pushed to the brink, he was capable of anything, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Haonan's voice continued to emanate, carrying a desperate, all-or-nothing intensity.

"If Minister Li gets killed in the bombing, he deserves it!"

"As the Minister of the Army, he blindly followed you in framing and slandering others, never investigating or seeking the truth, only listening to your side of the story, and using military law as a tool to suppress dissent. Such a Minister of the Army deserves to die!"

"Oh no! He still has a bomb. What if he detonates it?!"

Horse Face's voice trembled as he grabbed Bull Head's arm.

"This kid is really going to fight to the death! With Minister Li in his hands, Wolf Fang will definitely go crazy and start shooting recklessly. Both of them will be finished!"

Horse Face was filled with worry.

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if a nine-year-old child actually detonated a bomb.

Chen Haonan will die, Minister Li will die, and Chen Haonan's reputation will plummet.

All of this could have been avoided.

The bull's heart skipped a beat.

He could clearly feel his heart racing, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Niu Tou dared not think too much, nor could he. His only thought now was to get to the scene as soon as possible and stop Chen Haonan from doing something foolish.

"Damn it!"

With a roar, Bullhead gripped the steering wheel tightly, slammed on the accelerator, and the military off-road vehicle sped off, its tires screeching against the ground.

"Quick! To the helipad! We have to get there immediately! Every minute we're late increases the danger to this child!"

Niu Tou's eyes were filled with urgency. He pressed his foot hard on the accelerator, wishing he could fly to the scene immediately. He couldn't let anything happen to Chen Haonan, absolutely not!

The car sped along, the scenery outside the window rushing past, but Niu Tou's mind was in complete turmoil.

As he drove, he prayed silently, praying that Chen Haonan could calm down and that they could get to the scene before the tragedy occurred.

Horse Face sat in the passenger seat, looking worried.

He was extremely worried, fearing that Chen Haonan would choose to give up and cause a lose-lose situation.

Horse Face looked at Bull Head's profile as he focused on driving, noticing the urgency and worry in Bull Head's eyes, and felt a pang of unease in his heart.

It's too late to say anything now. The only thing we can do is get to the scene as soon as possible and do our best to save Chen Haonan.

Just then, the bull suddenly turned its head to look at the horse, its eyes filled with urgency.

"Right, quick, notify the Fifth Unit to intervene; things have probably gotten out of hand."
