Tang Long watched as Su Wen was about to leave, and after a moment of deep thought, he said, "Su Wen, Hu Yiming is a life-and-death comrade of both your father and me. He is a generous and loyal person. If it were a small matter, I wouldn't want you to trouble him. But this time, it's necessary for him to get involved, and you will also have a connection with him. Before you go, Uncle Tang has two things to tell you. First, don't drink with Hu Yiming, absolutely not. Second, don't stay in the military. No matter what benefits he offers you, don't stay in the military."
Su Wen nodded, "Uncle Tang, rest assured. First, I don't like drinking, and second, my ideal is not in the military. This time, I'm just going to thank Uncle Hu for his kindness. I'll be back in a couple of days."
Only then did Tang Long feel relieved, "Alright, let's go!"
Su Wen boarded the helicopter, and the twelve members of the Flying Sky Team also got on.
...
"Instructor, how much is the thing you just gave us worth?"
"Instructor, the commander said you will be our instructor, but you look so frail. What can you teach us?"
"Instructor, when all those guns were pointed at you, were you afraid? Oh, and Instructor, I was the one who shot off Chu Qing's hat. Do you think my shot was cool?"
Su Wen listened to their questions and made a gesture for them to be quiet, "You have too many questions. Let me introduce myself first. Then, I will allow each of you to ask one question, remember, only one."
"Then I'll go first. I am Zhou Fei, the captain of the Flying Sky Special Team, from Nanhu, joined the army at eighteen, now twenty-six, unmarried. My question is: Instructor, how much is the gift you gave us worth?"
Su Wen nodded and thought for a moment, "Zhou Fei, you seem to be the greediest. I'll tell you, the coins I gave you are known as Kaiyuan Tongbao. However, there are many types of Kaiyuan Tongbao, with prices ranging from a few dozen to tens of thousands. The one you have, called the Kaiyuan Tongbao Lishu Xiaoping Jinzhi, is worth between fifty thousand and one hundred thousand, and it's a relatively rare ancient coin."
"Fifty thousand to one hundred thousand?" Zhou Fei's mouth opened wide, "It's valuable, too valuable!"
The other eleven were also very excited.
"Who's next?" Su Wen continued.
"Instructor, I'll go. My name is Xia Wuchang, the deputy captain of the Flying Sky Team, from Beijiang, joined the army at fourteen, now twenty-three, unmarried. My question is: Instructor, when all those guns were pointed at you, were you really not afraid?"
"Not really. To be honest, it wasn't easy for Chu Qing to kill me. If he had really ordered the shooting, I would have immediately grabbed Uncle Tang as a hostage. If he dared to kill a bureau chief, I believe no one could protect him."
Xia Wuchang was stunned, "Instructor, if he really did shoot, wouldn't you have killed Bureau Chief Tang?"
Su Wen shook his head, "I was sure he wouldn't dare."
"Alright, it's my turn. My name is Yu Xiaohong, a marksman. I've been in the army for only three years, now twenty-one, unmarried. My question is: Instructor, are you the commander's nephew?"
"From our surnames, you can see that I am not the commander's nephew. To put it simply, my father and your commander are life-and-death brothers, and so is Bureau Chief Tang. They are all my uncles. In the future, when you have children, I believe they will all have eleven uncles."
The twelve members of the Flying Sky Team looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
But Zhou Fei muttered, "There should be twelve. Since the instructor is so rich, my son should also recognize this uncle."
The others nodded in agreement.
Su Wen smiled, "Alright, when you have children, I, as your uncle, will give each of you a big red envelope."
Everyone laughed and praised him.
The twelve continued to take turns asking questions, making the journey less boring.
...
Jiangning.
Lin Linyun was very awkward; he found that the target had disappeared.
The task deadline was only one month. If Su Wen didn't return in a month, would he have to go to the military to assassinate Su Wen? That would be too crazy.
But that wasn't the main issue.
He had been tracking Su Wen for two days and didn't feel that Su Wen was a ruthless person; instead, he seemed like a good person. If he killed Su Wen rashly, and the website confirmed that Su Wen was a good person during the task review, he might not get any commission.
Lin Linyun felt like he was in a difficult position, something Li Sanxie hadn't anticipated.
In front of the Jubaizhai.
Lin Linyun felt that to gather more information, he needed to infiltrate Jubaizhai.
He still hadn't given up on the task.
...
Inside the capital.
Sun Guang, Sun Jian's father, had a grim expression.
Unlike Sun Jian, who was a second-generation, Sun Guang was a true old revolutionary fighter.
"Father, what's wrong?" Sun Jian was puzzled.
Everything happened very suddenly.
Sun Guang was also very heartbroken by his grandson's death.
He had tacitly approved of everything Sun Jian did.
But yesterday, he received the news that Chu Qing's attempt to capture Su Wen had failed, and today he received another bad piece of news.
It was a warning from a person named Long Yun.
The surname Long has a special significance in China.
The Long family is an extremely mysterious and terrifying clan. Long Yun is a member of the Long family, and the Sun family cannot be compared to the Long family.
"Long Yun came and warned me not to use state power against Su Wen." Sun Guang's face was pale, clearly angry.
"Long Yun, a warning?" Sun Jian was shocked.
"Exactly." Sun Guang's eyes were very frightening, "He said that if Yue was really killed by Su Wen, then Yue deserved it. If not, then we are asking for death. He told me that if we dare to use state power against Su Wen, he will dare to kill all seventeen members of our Sun family in one night."
"What, he actually said that!!!" Sun Jian roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"Don't be impulsive." Sun Guang shouted, "Do you know who Long Yun is? If he dares to say that, he can do it. There are many families in the capital, but the Long family is unpredictable and very powerful. Do you know the Wang family from back then?"
"The traitor family?"
"Exactly. That family used foreign forces to try to dominate China. But in the end, the Long family killed all the direct members of the Wang family in one night. Only then did people know that there was a mysterious Long family in China." Sun Guang shuddered at the memory.
The Wang family was more than ten times stronger than the Sun family.
The Wang family had support from foreign forces, but what did the Sun family have?
"Father, are we just going to let this go? Is Yue's death in vain?" Sun Jian was very unwilling.
"Without using state power, can't we use other means? There are still assassins, mercenaries, and many desperate people in the world. Long Yun only said not to use state power. If Su Wen is killed by other means, it has nothing to do with us." Sun Guang said calmly.
"Father, will this work?" Sun Jian was a bit confused.
"Since Long Yun said that, he must have guessed what we would do. If I'm not mistaken, this is his bottom line. Without using state power, our conflict with Su Wen is a personal matter. In ancient times, people said that personal grudges should be settled personally. Long Yun probably means this."
Sun Guang's eyes sparkled with shrewdness.
"Then I'll go and handle it now. Should I have a direct showdown with Su Wen?" Sun Jian was eager.
"Idiot!" Sun Guang scolded, "First, investigate Su Wen thoroughly. And now is not the best time to act. Long Yun just warned us. If we kill Su Wen now, it would make him lose face. Wait a few months, then choose the right moment and strike with certainty."
Sun Jian felt ashamed, "Father, I was rash."
Sun Guang looked at the sky outside and said softly, "It's not easy to build a family. Be careful, very careful. Jian, you've been in the capital for a few days. Tomorrow, go back to the Landa Military District. That's the foundation of our Sun family."
"I understand, Father!" Sun Jian replied.
The room fell silent.
Su Wen, who was unaware of all this, had already arrived in a large mountain.
