Chapter 247 Zhao Xun

Fu Sheng smiled slyly, "Heh heh, Young Master! I've already thoroughly investigated this. The Tang family of Lecheng has submitted the profiles of the two individuals to the special forces recruitment office. They should already be with Master by now. So, as long as you can confirm with Master and have a little chat with him, this matter will be as good as done!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei's face lit up with joy.

"Haha, naturally. Since he's already walked into the trap, it saves me the trouble of setting one up. Now, if I just have a good talk with my father and help him fulfill his wish to enlist, it'll be a piece of cake! Haha..."

Zhao Wei also burst into laughter, looking at Zhao Wei with a meaningful gaze.

"Besides that, Young Master! This is also a golden opportunity for you."

"Oh? How so?"

Fu Sheng clicked his tongue and replied playfully, "Haven't you recently taken a liking to a girl?"

At this question, the image of Luo Jiaying immediately flashed in Zhao Wei's mind. He couldn't help but blush, a sheepish smile on his face.

"You found that out too. Heh heh... she's Han Lang's girlfriend, named Luo Jiaying. And, I must say, Fu Sheng, I feel this is true love!"

Seeing his young master display such an attitude, Fu Sheng knew he wasn't exaggerating, and replied.

"Therefore! Getting Han Lang into the special forces is even more imperative! If he can die on the battlefield, it would be a win-win for us; even if he returns alive, things will have changed, and wouldn't you have already won the lady's heart?"

Hearing the words "won the lady's heart," Zhao Wei's heart skipped a beat, but he still asked with a hint of confusion.

"I understand the risk of death in the special forces, but this 'winning the lady's heart'... how do you mean?"

Fu Sheng became a little impatient.

"Oh, Young Master! You're truly blinded by love right now. It's not always easy to get into or out of the special forces, is it? Once you enlist, there's a rule of at least three years of service, you know that! Three years, isn't three years enough for you to win over a girl?"

Zhao Wei suddenly understood and repeatedly gave Fu Sheng a thumbs-up.

"Yes, yes, yes, I completely forgot about that. Three years, heh heh, with my status as the eldest young master of the Zhao family, three years is definitely enough time for me to sneak into Han Lang's rear base! By then, even if he returns, it'll be too late to turn things around! Haha..."

Seeing Zhao Wei so pleased, Fu Sheng was also exceptionally gratified. He quickly said to Zhao Wei again.

"In that case, Young Master, what are you waiting for? Why don't you go talk to Master right now!"

Zhao Wei pondered for a moment and nodded firmly.

"Alright, I'll go now!"

Old Master Zhao Xun of the Zhao family was one of the judges for the special forces recruitment in Xingcheng every year. At the same time, as the head of the Zhao family, he had to collect and sort all the submitted lists before the recruitment interviews.

At this moment, he sat at his desk, looking at the three stacks of lists before him, particularly the three resumes in the middle, and fell into deep thought.

Just then, Zhao Wei walked in, looking a bit disheveled.

"Dad!"

Zhao Xun looked up, saw Zhao Wei, and beckoned him over, "Wei'er, you've come at just the right time. I'm currently troubled by the special forces recruitment matter!"

Zhao Wei asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhao Xun explained, "Look, the special forces recruitment in Xingcheng has always been divided between our Zhao family and the Tang family. But this time, three extra applications have appeared for some reason. I don't know their backgrounds, so I wanted you to help me analyze them. When it comes to the interview, how should our Zhao family make its decision?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei didn't hesitate. He immediately leaned forward and took the three resumes Zhao Xun handed him.

The moment his eyes fell upon them, his eyes trembled with excitement!

The resumes clearly stated the names Han Lang, Han Kang, and Ma Long at the top, along with their passport photos.

He quickly said to Zhao Xun, "Dad! I know these three. They are from the newly rising Han family in Lecheng!"

Zhao Xun asked doubtfully, "The Han family? The same Han family that disrupted our Lecheng plan?"

"Yes!"

After receiving confirmation, Zhao Xun's displeasure was evident.

"In that case, our Zhao family absolutely cannot agree to their recruitment applications!"

Zhao Wei was shocked by this statement and quickly intervened, "No, no, Dad. I hope you can approve their enlistment applications. Send them into the special forces smoothly."

Zhao Xun asked, perplexed, "Why is that? Do you have any connections with them? But they disrupted our Lecheng plan, which we've been working on for years. The other elders of the family shouldn't agree to this, should they?"

Zhao Wei countered, "It's just one or two people. You can decide this yourself, and the elders won't hold you accountable, right?"

Zhao Xun frowned slightly, "I am the patriarch, and naturally, I have the right to make these decisions. But this is against the rules. Even if the elders don't hold me accountable, I still need to provide an explanation to them!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly said.

"Absolutely not! This matter really cannot be explained in detail to the elders! My reason for wanting you to let them pass is primarily for personal reasons, so it cannot be made public!"

Zhao Xun became anxious, "Then explain it to me in detail! You must tell me the full reason!"

Seeing this, Zhao Wei quickly narrated his and Fu Sheng's intentions to retaliate against Han Lang and his group.

After hearing everything, Zhao Xun fell into deep contemplation.

"The Han family disrupted our Zhao family's plan. If we don't teach them a lesson, it will indeed affect our Zhao family's status in the cultivation world. However, your method carries too much risk. Once they join the special forces, we will no longer be able to control them! While there's a possibility they might die on the battlefield, there's also a chance they could become dragons entering the sea, which would only fuel their growth!"

Zhao Wei nodded, "That's true! But haven't we just experienced the incident involving people with special abilities? If we make any unsavory moves at this time, and the Tang family catches wind of it, we'll be ruined! The special forces excuse not only holds water on the surface but also earns us a reputation for valuing talent. Moreover..."

As Zhao Wei said this, his expression became somewhat awkward.

This greatly worried Zhao Xun, who impatiently asked, "Moreover what? Speak up!"

Zhao Wei seemed a bit embarrassed, stammering for a moment before finally saying.

"It's like this, Dad. I've recently taken a liking to a girl. But as fate would have it, she's precisely that Han Lang's girlfriend! I want to poach her. If Han Lang can be sent to serve in the special forces, he won't be back for at least three years. By then... hehe."

Zhao Wei thought his reason was sufficient, but to his surprise, he was met with a stern reprimand from Zhao Xun.

"Nonsense! As the eldest son of my Zhao family, how can you disregard the family's interests for a woman? This won't do, absolutely not!"

Hearing Zhao Xun's refusal, Zhao Wei pleaded again.

"Dad! This is true love for me. I fell for that girl at first sight, I'm not joking! Besides, this kind of maneuver, it doesn't really affect the family's interests that much, does it!"
