Chapter 49 Xiao Baiyu’s Concern

“Okay, since we are good buddies, you don’t need to explain it to me. I can understand. After all, he is your future son-in-law, and I will not ask more about it. However, you have always refused to tell me who trapped Dragon Teeth. Can you tell me now?”

Shen Moru failed to hide his jealousy in his words. At that time, the three of them were bound together like brothers and risked their lives to fight together on the battlefield. They could trust each other with their lives.

However, Dragon Teeth and Dragon Horn had arranged the marriage between their kids in advance, which made him extremely jealous and angry for a long time.

Xiao Baiyu ignored his jealousy and said with a serious tone, “I have been trying to find out the truth, but the opponent did everything rigorously. Every time I found a key clue, people related to it were killed immediately. I suspect it is related to the Zhao family in Yanjing.”

“You mean the Zhao family which are my my in-laws?” Shen Moru was shocked and asked in disbelief.

“Your in-laws? Your family and the Zhao family have united in marriage?” Xiao Baiyu asked in astonishment.

Shen Moru said with anxiety, “You know, I have seldom been engaged in my family affairs. Soon after Mu Qing was born, when my father and the master of the Zhao family were drinking, they secretly arranged the marriage between Mu Qing and Zilong. Afterwards, because of Mu Qing’s poor health, we have never mentioned it again, so the news has always been blocked. The Zhao family is also waiting. Once Mu Qing gets better, they will definitely bring it up again. Moreover, Zilong and Mu Qing have been friends since their childhood. Even if Mu Qing has been in poor health, he has never intended to leave and often makes time to visit her. Nevertheless, if Zhao Tianya is really the one who framed Dragon Teeth, I will never agree on this marriage.”

Xiao Baiyu also knew that the marriage between two big families was related to the interests of the whole family. Even though Shen Moru had a right to speak in the Shen Family, the big issue like marriage was not what he could decide. Everything depended on the willingness of his father. As an outsider, Xiao Baiyu shouldn’t say anything more, so he could only sigh and comfort Shen Moru.

“It’s just a suspicion with no conclusive evidence. Anyway, Muqing is only 22 years old. There is no hurry for her to get married, so we still have time. I will check it out. You can hold it off as far as possible. At the very least, even if the Zhao Family is behind this, it may be the private action of Zhao Tianya, the current master of the Zhao Family, and the Zhao family may not be involved in it. I’ve heard of Zhao Zilong, the son of Zhao Tianya. He’s handsome, refined and cultured. The most rare thing is that he is tremendously capable and considerate and kind to men of talent without being profligate like other young men from wealthy families. He acts quite like Lord Mengchang who had recruited several thousands of counsellors. Thus, he is known as ‘Little Mengchang’ and ‘First Childe in Yanjing’. What’s more, he is the first heir who has been cultivated by the Zhao Family. He is qualified to be our Mu Qing’s husband.”

However, Shen Moru shook his head slightly and said resolutely, “I don’t care about what Zhao Zilongis like. If Zhao Tianya is the instigator, he was not the master of the Zhao family twenty years ago, and must be incapable of influencing the senior leaders of the military at that time. Thus, the Zhao family must have offered assistance behind such a large conspiracy. Even if I should take risks of being expelled from the Shen family, I will never agree on the marriage with the Zhao family.”

“Oh, it’s too early to talk about this now. Just wait and see. Zhao Zilong…”

Xiao Baiyu wanted to say something, but stopped talking. If he didn’t know the marriage between the Shen Family and the Zhao Family, he could still treat it in an ordinary manner. But now he thought that he had to tell Shen Moru.

“What’s the matter with Zhao Zilong?” Shen Moru said resolutely, but at the mention of Zhao Zilong who was his prospective son-in-law, he was still very entangled.

Zhao Zilong was unfettered, handsome, refined, decent, charismatic with no scandal, and seemed to be God’s favored one with all the advantages of men. Shen Moru really appreciated this young man a lot.

He was actually very satisfied to have such an outstanding son-in-law. This was why he had never opposed the marriage with the Zhao Family.

“Zhao Zilong has joined the Dragon Soul six months ago, and has performed very well. What’s more, he is also preparing to compete for the title Dragon Teeth.”

There was slight anxiety in Xiao Baiyu’s tone. The Zhao Family had left no good impression on him.

However, Zhao Zilong was really an exception. His innate affinity made him charismatic. After getting along with him for a few days, anyone’s mind would be captured by him.

In just half a year, he successfully captured the minds of those arrogant soldiers of the Dragon Soul, and became the leader of the new generation as well as the most powerful contender for the title Dragon Teeth.

The title Dragon Triangle was the spiritual pillar as well as the soul of the Dragon Soul Special Forces. Although Xiao Baiyu still led the Dragon Soul now, he had already given up the title Dragon Horn.

To join the new Dragon Triangle, one needed to win in the domestic army competition and get the entry ticket to the international special forces competition. Only after winning the first place in the international special forces competition, he would be qualified to compete for a place in the Dragon Triangle.

The title Dragon Teeth had been vacant for more than 20 years. It was the most special one in the Dragon Triangle and the most difficult one to get.

This title had nearly rigorous standards for strength, tactical strategy, speed, agility, intelligence, reaction speed, blasting, sniping, assault, close combat, dangerous intuition, offensive power and others.

After all, different from Dragon Scale who was good at defending and Dragon Horn who was good at strategy, it was the sharpest knife of the dragon soul, as well as the strongest combat power of the dragon soul. It was an invincible iconic title.

Ten years ago, Wind Shadow was the most promising soldier to win the title ‘Dragon Teeth’, but unfortunately he finally failed to get it due to insufficient offensive power. He was so frustrated that he retired and worked as a personal guard of Dragon Scale.

It was what Xiao Baiyu worried about. Zhao Zilong had amazing affinity and cohesiveness. Besides, from the intensity of his usual training, Xiao Baiyu could tell that he was very close to the standard of the new “Dragon Teeth”.

If it were someone else, Xiao Baiyu would be very happy. After all, it was a good thing that new talents came forth, and they could develop the Dragon Soul and be qualified successors of the Dragon Soul.

However, Zhao Zilong was from the Zhao family which was the biggest suspect of framing the previous Dragon Teeth. It made him have to think more.

Was it the Zhao Family sought to seize the mastership of the Dragon Soul or Zhao Zilong purely wanted to challenge himself?

How could someone experienced like Shen Moru fail to understand what Xiao Baiyu meant. Shen Moru sighed with flagging interest and said, “We just need to have a clear conscience when dealing with something. Besides, it’s unnecessary to get the younger generation involved in the old generation’s old scores. ”

Xiao Baiyu was silent for a moment and sighed, “Let it be so!”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Baiyu couldn’t be calm for a long time. He actually hoped that Shen Moru could take his side and find ways to stop the Zhao family from expanding their forces.

After all, what happened at that time had thoroughly discredited the Zhao Family, which made the Zhao Family irreconcilable with Dragon Teeth.

As brothers of Dragon Teeth, they should have unconditionally supported Dragon Teeth. However, as the younger generation of big families, they had to consider the interests of their families.

Big families were intertwined with a complicated relationship. No one was willing to see the dominance of only one big family.

The Zhao family was ambitious, and Zhao Tianya, the master of the Zhao family, was also very capable. He lured medium and small families with interests and united them to resist other big families.

Driven by interests, many families had taken the Zhao family’s side, which enabled the Zhao family’s forces to expand wildly. In this way, the Zhao Family had a slight tendency to become the first family in Yanjing.

They had made great achievements in both political and business circles. If they seized the mastership of the military, it would completely fill up the only shortcoming of the Zhao family. At that time, the Zhao family would be able to completely suppress other big families and become the head of all big families with an absolute voice in resource integration and distribution, which would definitely not be a good thing for other big families.

Shen Moru had made a big mistake on an impulse, and was almost sent to the military court. With the full support of the Shen Family in social intercourse, he was transferred out of the Dragon Soul for punishment. After a few years of depression, he made a comeback, and lived a slightly better life in recent years after making a number of contributions.

Now he obviously had lost his previous sharpness and talents, and did not want to meddle in the business.

Of course, it must have something to do with Zhao Zilong’s innate affinity and his identity of Shen Moru’s future son-in-law.

Xiao Baiyu could understand him, but also had a desolated feeling of fighting in isolation.

Standing in front of the window of the command room with his hands behind his back and watching Zhao Zilong gently smiling and surrounded by others in the training field, he felt sick as if he ate a fly.

He drew the curtain in anger, and then frowned, lit up a cigarette and took a toke. In the rising smoke, he swore in anger, “Fuck!”

Zhao Zilong, who was enjoying the flattery of the Dragon Soul warriors, looked at the window with the closed curtain, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

There was another person who also felt uncomfortable like Xiao Baiyu. He was the young captain Ye Zhiqiu who had told the dragon soul warriors about the history of the Dragon Soul in Ninghai.

Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Chunan had been the leading figures of the younger generation of the Dragon Soul. After Xiao Chuan’s disappearance, Ye Zhiqiu stood out and became the focus of attention and the best young man, not one of the best.

However, Zhao Zilong showed up six months ago. In less than three months after that, most of Ye Zhiqiu’s loyal supporters had betrayed him and started to revolve around Zhao Zilong.

Zhao Zilong was very generous with a friendly smile, and could always touch the softest place in people’s heart when talking to them.

He showed the utmost concern for warriors who were sick or had domestic difficulties and brought warmth to them like a spring breeze. They unwittingly developed goodwill for him, thus to trust and worship him.

Although Ye Zhiqiu felt that he was so hypocritical and what he did was courting others’ favor. Nevertheless, Ye Zhiqiu also had to admit that he was indeed a person with a great deal of charm and trick.

What made Ye Zhiqiu feel depressed was that this hypocritical guy not only had fascinating charm, but also showed his superhuman talent in military training.

As a returnee from the United States after studying there, he acted like a natural armyman. He achieved excellent results in military training subjects such as shooting, mobile sniping, blasting, driving, reconnaissance, weight-bearing cross-country running, field rescue, fighting, military topography, computer military simulation and so on. He was not inferior to Ye Zhiqiu who was the young king of soldiers at all, and even had a tendency to surpass Ye Zhiqiu in some subjects.

After joining the Dragon Soth for so many years, he was suppressed by a recruit within half a year. It made Ye Zhiqiu, who was arrogant, feel very hurt and frustrated.

He could tell that the Chief did not like Zhao Zilong. As the direct pupil cultivated by Xiao Baiyu, he did not want to disappoint Xiao Baiyu.

Thus, he could only turn grief into the driving force and carry out overload training, so as to break through his limits and suppress Zhao Zilong’s arrogance by fulfilling himself in the competition.

Zhao Zilong cordially talked to the warriors while from the corner of his eye paying attention to Ye Zhiqiu, who was desperately training. He watched his current biggest competitor, with a trace of imperceptible scorn across his eyes.

Since his childhood, he had been God’s favored one. From primary school to studying in the United States, he had always been a well-deserved schoolmaster. At the age of 23, he returned after obtaining a master’s degree, and then he emerged in the business world.

In just a little over a year, he had almost doubled the net output value of the Zhao Family. He was praised as an outstanding person by the previous master of the Zhao Family, and directly identified as the next heir to the Zhao family. Wherever he went, he was the focus of attention.
