Chapter 1 The Fall Of The Wind And Clouds, The Return Of The War God

• In the northern region of September, the sky was filled with snowflakes like knives.
• Shen Lian stood in front of the jeep, with a crowd of people behind him, dressed in military uniforms and serious expressions, like steel nails stuck in the snow, extending as far as the eye could see.
• "Shen Lian, hand over the commander's seal!"
• He wiped the golden commander's seal with his hand and respectfully placed it on his military uniform.
• Snap.
• Before the words could even fall, everyone clenched their fists, their fingertips pointing straight at their foreheads.
• "The men of the northern region await the glorious return of the War God!"
• "Send off the War God!"
• ...
• As the jeep slowly drove away, the crowd shouted in unison, sounding like countless tigers roaring fiercely.
• Shen Lian.
• After seven years of service, he had defended against external enemies thousands of times, single-handedly fought against the eighteen kings of the northern region, and suppressed the eight major leaders of the border to the point where they didn't even dare to lift their heads.
• At the young age of twenty-nine, he was appointed as the War God of Xuanyuan, personally holding the commander's seal. The ruler of the country even raised his thumb and called him the "backbone of the nation" and the number one in the northern region!
• However.
• Such a legendary military god suddenly applied for retirement a few days ago. Although the news was sealed, it still spread among the provinces, causing panic among the people.
• After all, a hero and general like him would cause an earthquake wherever he went!
• "Ye Qi, go to Zhonghai!"
• Shen Lian carefully took out a faded wedding photo from his pocket in the car...
• After a heavy snowfall last night, the city of Zhonghai, which was entering winter, was a bit cold.
• At a street corner on Tianyi Road, a jeep slowly stopped.
• A man got out of the car, wearing a black windbreaker and stepping on a pair of leather military boots. He stood quietly in the snow, motionless.
• This person was Shen Lian, and Ye Qi followed suit and got out of the car.
• "Commander Shen, we have thoroughly investigated it. The woman you mentioned, Liu Ruoxing, was once the daughter of the Liu family in Zhonghai. At the age of eighteen, she established the Qingcheng Group, ranking first among the top ten young enterprises in Zhonghai!"
• "Yes."
• Shen Lian responded with a blank expression and walked forward.
• "However, seven years ago, she was framed and it was rumored that she had a one-night stand with a security guard at a certain hotel, causing a huge uproar in the city. The market value of the Qingcheng Group and the Liu family's enterprise evaporated overnight by billions. In order to minimize the impact, the Liu family had no choice but to let the security guard become their son-in-law, but..."
• Ye Qi frowned.
• "On the night before the wedding, it was exposed that this security guard had raped Liao Ruqing's younger sister-in-law. This incident caused a sensation, and everyone said that the Liao family had invited trouble into their home."
• "Speaking of which, Liao Ruqing is also a pitiful person. On that day, she waited at the wedding venue for a whole day. When she heard the news of the security guard's arrest and imprisonment, she almost fainted and had to be carried to the hospital."
• As the story reached this point, Shen Lian's brows furrowed, and his nails dug deep into his flesh.
• Drip, drip.
• Drops of blood stained the pure white snowflakes, shining brightly.
• "Continue."
• Night Seven trembled, as Shen Lian's voice turned as cold as ice.
• "After the wedding, Liao Ruqing fell seriously ill, and it was later discovered that she was pregnant..."
• Pregnant!?
• Boom.
• Shen Lian's head heated up and exploded instantly.
• He stepped on the snow, causing the snowflakes to scatter, and cracks appeared on the ground.
• Shen Lian's face was filled with shock, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, followed by a suffocating sense of guilt overwhelming him.
• "Shen Shuai!"
• Night Seven quickly supported Shen Lian, but he waved his hand and asked, "What happened next?"
• "The news of Liao Ruqing's pregnancy spread, and the Liao family's reputation was completely ruined. In a fit of anger, the Liao patriarch expelled Liao Ruqing from the family."
• Thud.
• As Night Seven uttered the last four words, Shen Lian's hand was resting on the wooden door, and instantly, the snow-covered door became scorching hot.
