Chapter 1 Daughter's Letter
- Inside the solemn conference room at the headquarters of the Northern Army, a gathering of heroes takes place. The three great kings and seven great generals of the Northern Army have all assembled here. Everyone's gaze is filled with admiration as they look at the tall man standing before them.
- This man is Chen Ce, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, and he is known as the Lord of the Northern Dragon.
- At this moment, Chen Ce is in a meeting with his subordinates from the Northern Army when suddenly, his phone, placed on the table, starts ringing frantically.
- It's an unfamiliar phone number.
- Chen Ce furrows his brow slightly and picks up the phone to answer the call.
- A nervous man's voice comes from the phone, "Are you Chen Ce?"
- "Your wife owes our company one million yuan, and now your daughter is in our hands."
- "If you don't bring one million yuan to the New Street Mahjong Club before sunset, you will never see your daughter again."
- It's a debt collection call from a loan company!
- Chen Ce is surprised. How did a debt collection call end up reaching him? He doesn't have a wife or children!
- "Are you mistaken? I don't have a wife or children," Chen Ce says.
- The man on the phone sneers, "Hehe, don't play dumb with me. We obtained your phone number from your wife's contact list that we stole. Dare you say you don't know Song Yanran?"
- Song Yanran!
- Chen Ce couldn't help but recall. Five years ago, he was on a secret mission and accidentally fell victim to the enemy's aphrodisiac. After fighting his way out, he collapsed in an alley.
- In the end, he was saved by a kind-hearted female college student who happened to pass by.
- That kind-hearted woman was Song Yanran.
- After waking up, he hurriedly returned to the army to complete his mission, so he simply thanked Song Yanran and left his name and phone number before hastily leaving.
- Now, he finally understands. That night, under the influence of the aphrodisiac without his knowledge, he unknowingly hurt her!
- And, after that night, they actually had a daughter.
- Chen Ce, who is usually calm in the face of danger, is now holding the phone with slightly trembling hands.
- He suppresses his excitement and says in a deep voice, "You say my daughter is in your hands. What evidence do you have?"
- There came a faint curse from the other end of the phone: "You little bastard, if you don't want to die, beg your father to bring money to save you, otherwise we'll sell you to Africa as a child prostitute."
- Chen Ce's eyes suddenly turn cold!
- At this moment, a little girl's crying voice comes from the phone.
- "Daddy, you are the worst father in the world."
- "Qingqing hates you so much!"
- "Why haven't you come to find Qingqing and Mommy all these years?"
- "They hit Qingqing, and Qingqing is so scared..."
- The little girl's crying and questioning on the phone breaks Chen Ce's heart.
- How much suffering has his daughter, whom he has never met, endured in these years?
- He quickly promises in a gentle voice, "Qingqing, don't be afraid, don't cry, Daddy will come to save you right away."
- Before the daughter on the other end of the phone can respond, the phone is snatched away.
- From the phone, the voice of the same arrogant man comes again: "Hehe, kid, remember, if I don't see the money before sunset, you will never see your daughter again."
- A terrifying killing intent spreads invisibly from Chen Ce, and the temperature in the conference room seems to drop suddenly.
- Chen Ce's voice comes as if from the depths of hell: "I will come, but if anything happens to my daughter, you will all prepare to go to hell."
- The man on the phone doesn't take it seriously and sneers, "Hehe, a toad yawning, such arrogance."
- "You are the first one to dare to threaten us in Zhonghai."
- "I'll be waiting for you at the New Street Mahjong Club, don't disappoint me."
- After saying that, he hangs up the phone.
- Chen Ce's eyes turn icy, and a raging anger sweeps through the entire conference room.
- "Dianhu!"
- A burly and imposing security guard named Dianhu appears in front of Chen Ce, saluting loudly and saying, "I'm here, sir!"
- Chen Ce says indifferently, "Prepare a private jet, no, prepare the fastest fighter jet, I need to go to Zhonghai immediately."
- Dianhu shouts loudly, "Yes, sir!"
- Chen Ce steps on his black combat boots and leaves with his head held high.
- His voice echoes in everyone's ears, "I have to leave for personal matters. The affairs of the Northern Border Army will be temporarily managed by Lang. The rest of you, carry out your duties without error."
- Lang and the others reply in unison, "Yes, Marshal!"
- ...
- At that time, in Zhonghai City, inside the New Street Mahjong Club, several tough-looking thugs are gathered together, drinking and eating hot pot.
- Not far from them, there is a dog cage.
- Inside the cage is a little girl, about four years old!
- Although the little girl is dirty all over, the contours of her small melon seed face outline the prototype of a stunning beauty.
- She is Song Qingqing, who has been kidnapped by a loan company and brought here.
- She is cold, hungry, and scared, curled up in a corner.
- Her terrified eyes look at the fierce and evil-looking bad guys outside and say, "Release Qingqing quickly, or my dad won't let you off."
- "Qingqing's dad said he will definitely come to save her."
- The gangsters who are eating hot pot can't help but laugh when they hear this.
- The leader of the gangsters, Black Bull, grins at Song Qingqing and says, "Hehe, is that so? I can't wait to meet your dad, but unfortunately, he's nowhere to be found!"
- "If we wait until the sun sets and your family hasn't sent any money, then we'll just sell you to human traffickers."
- Song Qingqing's face turns pale when she hears this, and she trembles as she says, "Qingqing's dad will definitely come, he promised Qingqing..."
- One of the henchmen interrupts, "Boss, why waste your breath on this little girl?"
- "The boss has given us orders to make Song Yanran pay back the money tonight."
- "It's already late and we haven't seen Song Yanran pay back the money, I think we should hurry her up."
- Black Bull nods, "Alright, guys, take out your phones and record a video for me. Let's send a video to Song Yanran to let her know we're not playing around."
- The gangsters take out their phones and start recording Black Bull.
- Under the watchful gaze of his companions, Black Bull grinned and scooped up a spoonful of steaming hot soup from the bubbling pot. He then proceeded to pour it onto Song Qingqing, who was confined in a dog cage.
- The scalding soup splashed onto Song Qingqing's arm, causing her fair and delicate skin to immediately turn red and purple.
- "Ah-"
- Song Qingqing trembled uncontrollably, emitting a painful scream as tears welled up in her eyes, resembling a mistreated kitten.
- The heartless small-time gangsters burst into laughter.
- Black Bull exclaimed with excitement, "This is exactly what we wanted! Let's capture this pitiful expression of the little girl on camera, we'll send it to Song Yanran later."
- "Let's do it again!"
- "Focus on filming this girl's face, give her a close-up shot, hahaha..."
- As Black Bull prepared to pour the scalding soup on Song Qingqing once more.
- Boom!
- A loud bang reverberated through the air!
- The door of the mahjong hall was forcefully kicked to pieces by an unknown individual!
- Amidst the astonished gazes of Black Bull's gang and Song Qingqing, Chen Ce confidently strode in, accompanied by Dianhu.
