Wang Zheng lay on the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on the窗外. To protect Li Yiran from being affected by the bomb's shockwave, he had sustained injuries that were countless and couldn't lie down to sleep anymore; he could only maintain this prone position.

At this moment, someone entered the room.

Without having to look up, Wang Zheng knew who it was. He could usually distinguish people by their walking rhythm and footsteps, an instinctive reaction at this point.

The Deputy Commander of the Central Military District, Han Tuosu.

"Commander Han, have you come to visit me" Wang Zheng lifted his head and said, "Looking at my current state, don't you think I deserve some kind of compensation At least twice as much in disability benefits"

Han Tuosu had originally intended to check on Wang Zheng's injuries but was instantly irritated by the young man demanding money right off the bat. He said without good humor, "No disability benefits for you, I'll grant you a First-Class Merit instead."

"A First-Class Merit Commander Han, do I care about a First-Class Merit This kind of empty honor is as worthless to me as clouds... Wait!" As he spoke, Wang Zheng seemed to have thought of something and disregarding the pain in his back, sat up. "You said you're going to grant me a First-Class Merit"

Han Tuosu nodded.

"Then what identity am I supposed to accept this First-Class Merit under" Wang Zheng's eyes were already narrowed.

"What do you think" With a hint of amusement, Han Tuosu asked.

"Dragon Scale Special Forces" Wang Zheng seemed hesitant as he asked試探性地問道，儘管他幾乎猜到了答案。

"That's right," Han Tuosu smiled and said, "You're usually as sharp as a razor, but today you've become so slow-witted that I can hardly believe it."

Wang Zheng didn't respond; instead, he mulled over the implications of those words.

If Wang Zheng were to accept this First-Class Merit Award in his capacity as a member of the Dragon Scale unit, it would無疑表明如今的政府願意承認龍鱗部隊的存在。雖然他們未必願意公開這支隊伍，但這至少說明瞭他們的態度；或許這就是一號首長想要傳達的資訊。

Does this mean that the First Secretary is finally ready to wield the knife of reform against that colossal entity that has long dominated China's business and political spheres

Suddenly, Wang Zheng remembered something that made his heart involuntarily tremble.

After returning from America, when analyzing the situation with Zhang Mingqi, the latter had already suggested that Su Tianran’s trip to the US to meet with various investment banks was for fundraising purposes.

Zhang Mingqi believed that despite losing Zhongding Gas, the Su family still generated astronomical figures annually. They wouldn't be in such dire straits under Wang Zheng's pressure unless there were internal issues or external strong pressures on them—pressures stronger and more ruthless than anything they could have imagined.

Back then, Wang Zheng and Zhang Mingqi both independently concluded that someone must be doing the same thing as them but even more covertly and viciously.

Now it seems like the mystery has been solved.

And this answer is so exhilarating.

Seeing Wang Zheng's expression, a satisfied smile flickered across Han Tuosu’s lips: "Excited"

Wang Zheng shook his head: "Not bad. Just okay."

"I don't have much to get excited about either. Even if those senior figures are involved, it won't be something that can be accomplished overnight. Of course, the speed will be quite a bit faster."

Thinking of the Su family and Endless Mu Yichen made Wang Zheng's eyes flash with cold light.

"The whole world has seen Mu Yichen’s actions. Although there is overwhelming evidence, due to the Su Family's massive influence, it involves too many aspects, so the government can't completely act freely either. This is like an earthquake; all comments about Su Fuhua online have been blocked, which clearly shows that they are restrained."

"The Number One Leader needs to consider the bigger picture and indeed cannot make sweeping changes, as doing so would cause chaos," Han Tuosu said.

“So he wants me to be his sharp tool then” Wang Zheng smiled with squinted eyes.

This smile made Han Tuosu, standing opposite him, uncertain about Wang Zheng’s true intentions.

"I don't know if that's what he means," Han Tuosu said in a deep voice. He was quite uncomfortable being looked at like this by a junior; there wasn’t much to be done about it since no one could match Wang Zheng when it came to playing tricks and using tactics.

“I agreed,” Wang Zheng didn't wait for Han Tuosu to give the answer he wanted but spoke up immediately.

"You agreed so readily" Han Tuosu was somewhat incredulous. Wang Zheng usually demanded conditions like a vulture plucking out feathers, how could he agree without demanding anything

“Of course, there must be some conditions,” Wang Zheng winked at Han Tuosu.

This gesture made Han Tuosu’s heart sink as he smiled bitterly and said, "You really are a fox; you can't hide anything from you. Go ahead and say it."

“Have him come personally to see me. I want a private chat with him,” Wang Zheng said with a smile.

Han Tuosu felt a chill in his heart. As expected, the boy had not changed at all; he was still as stubborn as ever. To put it bluntly, he was like a plaster that would stick to one and be hard to remove without causing damage.

"I can't make this decision on my own. I'll have to report back," Han Tuosu said after some thought.

“Of course, hahaha,” Wang Zheng laughed in a rather mean way.

“Now that you are a national hero and there's no one more famous than you in the whole of China, I'm worried your appearance in public might cause chaos. So after you recover, try to stay out of the spotlight,” Han Tuosu advised.

Wang Zheng replied slyly, “Uncle Han, are you not afraid of chaos but rather worried that I’ll do something impulsive and damage my reputation as a national hero”

Han Tuosu didn't respond. Without a doubt, Wang Zheng had hit the nail on the head again; what an oddball!

“Right, there's one more thing,” Han Tuosu gave Wang Zheng a meaningful look before speaking: “Little Night was dead set on coming to see you, but considering your recovery period, I stopped her. She must be furious with me now.”

"Uh, okay, when I'm better, I'll go see her." Thinking about the trouble Little Night would cause upon arrival, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache.

“Hmm, she's almost enrolled at National University of Defense Technology and insists you accompany her to register or else she won’t attend. You decide,” Han Tuosu said helplessly; he had no way of dealing with this troublemaker of his daughter.

"Sure thing, I'll go with her when the time comes."

“When I came up from downstairs, a little girl was stopped by the guards. She wanted to see you,” Han Tuosu turned around just as he was about to leave and said something that reminded him of something.
