The Favored Son of Heaven

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

At a small police station in Shenyang that was located in the downtown area, where there was good security, everyone only ever played games at their desks and waited for their time to get off work.

The area had always been pleasant and relaxed. But today, it was filled with repressed air, all because of the young man sitting on the bench, a colonel!

The police car that was used to arrest people had yet to stop in the yard. The bureau chief had rushed into the yard at a speed that was never seen before after he received a call from the military headquarters. He picked up this colonel that was arrested due to hitting someone in the street personally.

Almost all the police officers stared blankly at the most powerful bureau chief of the branch. With a treatment more careful than one given to his own father, this colonel that was arrested under the command of the deputy bureau chief was invited into the station.

From the bureau chief’s office, it didn’t take long before the others heard loud quarreling between the usually amiable bureau chief and the deputy bureau chief that was always full of vigor.

The crowd only heard vaguely regarding something about General Zhao, the Du Family, something about General Li, something about General Cao and similar certain designations.

General, general, and still general……

The two policemen who arrested Qin Fen felt nervous as their hearts started beating fast. Generals! These two bureau chiefs of the branch kept on talking about generals, and they jumped from one general to another.

If the police ranks were converted using pins, these two first-level superintendents and the chief of the first-level superintendent would only be ranked as colonel and major respectively.

The two police officers sneaked a glimpse of Qin Fen whom they arrested. This young master had a colonel pin! If the pin was changed to the police rank, then he would be at the level of a bureau chief!

It was only then did the two little police officers realize that the matter was not as simple as how the Deputy Bureau Chief had secretly told them. Look at this young master that was arrested. He had never shown a nervous and worried expression throughout his capture. His lips showed a self-deprecating smile occasionally.

Even with his self-deprecating smile, he was still so calm! Exactly! He was calm, too calm!

Qin Fen was calm, but the Internet was already chaotic.

“Young Colonel Hit Someone until Crippled on the Street”

“The Coolest Young Colonel! Younger than Nineteen Years Old!”

“Colonel younger than Nineteen Years Old? Were there any Shady Deals Behind it?”

“Colonel Hits a Woman after Hitting a Man”

“Colonel Holding a Weapon, Committing Crime on the Street”

“A Colonel was Jealous in a Love Affair and Crippled Others on the street”

One hot and eye-catching post after another spread all over the internet rapidly under the control of people with intentions.

Big headlines, clear photos, and the “miserable” victim caused immediate anger of the netizens.

Almost all the forums from major websites were discussing this matter quickly. They were condemning the Colonel who had hit someone on the street.

Li Mingzheng sat behind the computer and looked at the posts that requested justice with a sinister smile on his face, “In this world, the people that have the most conscience, the highest sense of justice and the most hot-blooded, are the netizens. Of course, their conscience, justice and hot-blooded can be used when there is a suitable method.”

The two old eyes of Old Lady Diao had become a small slit as she laughed. This move was indeed unexpectedly ruthless. It would be difficult even for the Snake King Du Hen for him to protect Qin Fen.

And if he insisted to protect? Even if Old Lady Diao thought using her knees, she knew that Du Hen’s military career was almost over. The East Asia Snake King couldn’t fight against the netizens that had already outbroken.

The two police officers sighed and shook their heads. They didn’t even know who the powerful figure behind this young master was. This matter did not seem easy to solve.

The powerful figures in the military headquarters had stopped the meeting temporarily. Qin Fen had only made a call to General Zhao’s portable phone and left a message.

But Squad leader

Zhao Huzi’s adjutant received the call and walked immediately into the conference room after.

Almost at the same time, the adjutant of the Snake King also walked into the conference room.

With the appearance of the two adjutants, the meeting stopped temporarily. The phones through different channels rang at the same time like a wave, one after another, in the bureau chief’s office that was usually quiet and peaceful.

“Interesting.” The Snake King touched his chin with one hand and stared at the major forums with great interest. The post appeared like waves, “Li Mingzheng seems to have made some progress.”

Du Yu stood silently beside. As his son, he knew his father best. When he laughed, it was the time where he would be the most dangerous.

“Using people’s resentment to suppress Qin Fen?” Du Hen shook his head, “These articles were well written. They seemed to attack Qin Fen on the surface. But from time to time they would ask who gave the colonel pin to this young man that was under nineteen years old. They were constantly guiding the public opinion to launch a stronger offense.”

“This must be a joint-operation of Li Mingzheng and the Cao family?” Du Yu added slightly, “Otherwise, with him as a State of Korea general, it is not easy to make so many things in Shenyang happen in such a short time. It seems that this Li Mingzheng is really hard to deal with……”

“Hard to deal with…” Du Hen sneered in disdain, “Xiaoyu, do you remember the duty of a soldier?”

Du Yu was surprised. The duty of a soldier was also said to be the family teaching of the Du family. They could forget what their surname was, but they could never forget their family teaching.

“The duty of a soldier is to protect the lives and property of the people!”

Du Hen nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, we soldiers exist to protect the lives and property of the people. This Li Mingzheng has now forgotten the duty of a soldier. He even used the people to attack the army. What’s so scary about a hidden rat? If he robs the power straightforwardly, I will admire him for having a backbone. But now?”

Du Hen sneered in disdain and shook his fingers a few times, “Go, investigate thoroughly about the people who wrote the posts and took these pictures, I believe they will know each other. Tonight, go and talk to them alone. Let them repost another post about the truth. If someone has a strong ‘sense of justice’, just kill them.”

Du Yu nodded silently and left the room. He had been beside the Snake King for a long time, some things didn’t need to be spoken too thoroughly.

Du Yu believed, that in many people’s minds, the Snake King’s action was somewhat sneaky. But he knew that this was only his father’s first step to muddle the waters. As long as the water was muddled, then everything would be easier to handle.

As for killing? Du Yu understood that these people who dared to frame a recruit hero were not counted as common folks. They could only be enemies!

To their enemies, any counterattack made by the Du family would never be tender.

“I don’t know, what happened in Australia?” Du Yu remembered a few special veterans from the recruit camp. His cold lips had a touch of warmth.

Gale Riley swore, “This Old Lady Diao wanted Qin Fen dead!” He smashed the computer desk hard. The sturdy desktop had a hole immediately after one punch, “Old Hao, What should I do?”

“What to do?” Phoenix retorted, “The Cao family made the first step, they should be prepared to be attacked back! How dare they use this kind of sinister trick on my little uncle!”

“I agree.” Gun King blew his sniper equipment that had been modified. It could penetrate jungle rangers with an effective range of five kilometers, “Might as well, let’s just kill them.”

“So that Qin Fen can come out? Even if he comes out later, would he feel good seeing that the person he should have killed personally killed by you?” Squad Leader Hao stared at the screen and said slowly, “What’s the hurry? Qin Fen is our disciple, and we naturally want to protect him. We just contacted the Snake King not long ago. Why are you afraid that Qin Fen will suffer?”

“But…” Boor pointed to the automatic scrolling never-ending posts on the computer screen, “Look at this…”

“Oh…” Squad Leader Hao sighed and looked up at his old friends, “Can you believe it? Qin Fen is sitting in the police station with his reassuring presence. He had no anxiety at all. You all are not even comparable to him. Are you shameful or not…”

Dang dang dang…

The slow and powerful sounds of knocking on the door interrupted the speech of Squad Leader Hao. Several instructors looked at each other being somewhat curious. Everyone was already here. Who is it this time?

Ge zhi…

The somewhat old door was pushed open slowly, the instructors were stupefied when they saw the person who walked into the room.

Zhang Xiangyang, a recruit that was from the same class as Qin Fen in the recruit camp. He had a gentle aura with a special self-confidence, but his quality as a soldier was not outstanding.

Now, everyone in the room realized that the usually obedient, recruit-looking Zhang Xiangyang no longer existed. His face was full of confidence and calmness.

“Hello, instructors.” Zhang Xiangyang didn’t greet them with the military salute, but nodded his head gently, “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Xiangyang. I joined the army this time not to serve the federation, but rather, I was here to observe someone closely. Occasionally I would give him some help. At necessary moments, I will appear in front of all of you to convey someone’s messages.”

“Someone?” Squad Leader Hao raised his chin, “Who? What does he want to let us know this time?”

“First of all, I want to talk about the person who sent me. He said that everyone knows him.” Zhang Xiangyang smiled and scanned everyone in the room, “Qin Zhan.”

These two simple words suddenly changed the atmosphere in the room!

Gun King forgot to continue polishing his precious gun for a while. The gold-rimmed spectacles on Boor’s nose beam also slipped. The knife in the butcher’s hand slipped from his palm and stabbed the bed.

Squad Leader Hao raised his thumb naturally. I already knew that this fellow Qin Zhan would never leave his brother alone. He had already arranged a spy beside Qin Fen. Now I’m just wondering if there are other spies around Qin Fen.

If Qin Fen was here to listen, he would understand how Zhang Xiangyang had such strong calculation skills. He even knew about the secret black market websites. In addition, the reasons why he would tell Qin Fen valuable information and why he even took the initiative to take care of Dragon Hall of Sky Battle Net.

Phoenix was the first to jump out of his seat. He reached out to grab Zhang Xiangyang’s collar and asked, “Where is Qin Zhan?”

“This…” Zhang Xiangyang shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know.”

“Phoenix, what’s the hurry?” Squad Leader Hao touched his chin again and again, “You took the initiative to reveal your identity to us. You can’t be doing it just for fun or out of boredom right? Is it because Qin Fen is so popular on the internet now? Then you can tell Qin Zhan that as Qin Fen’s instructors, we will take care of his safety. Let him be busy with his own business.”

“It’s not like this.” Zhang Xiangyang rearranged his collar that had been messed up by Phoenix, “I am here to inform you that Bro Zhan’s thought was that you do not need to care about this matter. A young eagle that’s always protected by the adult eagle will never be able to become an eagle that can soar in the sky. A teacher sometimes needs to kick the student off the cliff. When the student is able to climb up, then he can move further. If he can’t, then forget about it.”

The room was quiet once again. The look of the Squad Leader Hao was getting even more gloomy.

“Instructors, I have already conveyed Bro Zhan’s thought.” Zhang Xiangyang nodded gently, “I shall leave now…”

“This Qin Zhan!”

The quiet atmosphere in the room was broken by Squad Leader Hao. He kicked the small table in front of him and his body stood up straight like a nail. “He thinks I care who he is! He thinks he is extraordinary, being Qin Fen’s older brother? So he can arrange everything for Qin Fen? Kid, let me tell you now! Go back and tell Qin Zhan. Qin Fen is not only his disciple, but also mine! He is cold-hearted, but I am not! Get lost! Get lost immediately!”

Zhang Xiangyang looked blankly at Squad Leader Hao. This Squad Leader that was usually nice could be so frightening when he got angry.

The room after Zhang Xiangyang left returned to the quiet atmosphere.

Squad Leader Hao’s fingers tapped constantly on the armrests of the chair. There were many ways to train Qin Fen. It would be fine to throw him into a battlefield where he may die at any time, it would just mean that he did not reach a high level yet if he died. But they must not leave him alone at this point in time.

Qin Fen was not only involved in a simple matter now. The upper headquarters were also struggling. He could be torn into pieces if they did not handle even one matter well. Qin Fen had no power to fight back when he was facing such political power. He was too weak in this aspect!

Everyone was silent. They waited and waited for Snake King’s phone call. Since the Snake King and Zhao Huzi agreed to deal with it, then the most important thing to do now was to wait and not to take action.

“Bro Zhan… that’s how it went…” It became silent after Zhang Xiangyang’s finished his sentence. He stretched and walked to the living quarters. The rest of the matter was out of his control. It’s better that he took good care of Dragon Hall of the Sky Battle Net.

“Hey, Hao Ren. I am aware of what you are considering. However, Qin Fen’s rate of growth is somewhat unordinary. Perhaps you all did not notice. He may not look strong, but it is just a temporary matter. His potential had been developed these days. Even I can’t seem to understand that boy… it shouldn’t be a bad choice to suppress him…”

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a man stood quietly on the surface of the sea. Suddenly, a huge water column rushed into the sky. It was a water column sprayed by a blue whale.

If a person looked down from a high altitude, he or she would be surprised to find that this man was not standing on the water. He was standing on the back of a huge blue whale!

A man and a whale! What a spirit to move on the big sea!
