But after serving as a driver for Zhang Biao for several years post-discharge, he suddenly seemed to forget how to make decisions when facing danger and enemies.

However, after going through so many crises, Su Ming instantly regained the hardened psychological resilience he had honed in the army.

His psychological resilience was as strong as steel, his ruthless combat style and exceptional skills were forged through countless trials.

After hearing these words, Su Ming spoke indifferently, "This is nothing, but if you dare to ambush me again in the future, I definitely won't let it go as easily as I did today."

Zhang Biao felt the chilling coldness in Su Ming's words, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and awkwardly laughed:

"I really won't dare to ambush you anymore, good heavens, if Madame hadn't come out just now, would you have wanted me bedridden for the rest of my life?"

After hearing this, Su Ming ignored the latter, but directed his gaze to where Zhou Jingya was standing.

Earlier, he had only reacted instinctively with a counterattack when faced with a crisis.

In his time with the special forces, he constantly struggled in life-and-death situations.

That's why, when facing enemies, Su Ming always used deadly moves.

After all, on the battlefield, by any means necessary, you'd strike your enemy dead, only then can you have the chance to survive in the end.

How can you possibly hold back? As the saying goes, showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.

Li Yueming watched Su Ming, whose calm demeanor was like the breeze, with a handsome face now clouded with a stern expression.

A sudden surge of mixed emotions of fear, admiration, and veneration filled her heart.

She had not expected Su Ming could suppress Zhang Biao like this.

It should be known that Zhang Biao was a top fighter with Golden Fist Level proficiency and was adept in various fighting skills.

No one expected that such a skilled master could be brought down by Su Ming in just a few moves.

Even from Zhang Biao's expression, one could see his genuine admiration and a trace of subtle terror towards Su Ming.

Li Yueming grew increasingly curious about Su Ming, constantly evaluating him with her gaze while pondering in her mind.

What had this slightly slender, few-years-older-than-her handsome man experienced

to possess such superb skills and psychological resilience?

Subsequently, Su Ming entered Zhou Jingya's study.

"Take a seat," Zhou Jingya said with a slight smile, handing Su Ming a cup of tea.

She then merely small-talked with Su Ming a bit, but the admiration and regard in her gaze towards him grew ever more intense.

Actually, the reason she wanted Su Ming to come was to let Zhang Biao test out his skills.

The result, however, was beyond Zhou Jingya's expectations; she didn't expect Su Ming to have such formidable skills.

After this test, Zhou Jingya could rest assured in letting Su Ming handle some more important, far-reaching matters.

When Su Ming left Zhou Jingya's villa, it was already noon, and he immediately called Deng Zhigang.

He planned to have him drive, so they could go together to Wu Guizhen's hometown.

Deng Zhigang was very happy to act as Su Ming's driver.

After all, Su Ming got him a job at the Blue Moon Bar and temporarily let him drive a few million worth's black Bentley.

Moreover, Deng Zhigang was aware that Su Ming appeared on national news segments, even attending the funeral of a bigwig like Xu Chongzhi, which made his admiration and respect for Su Ming grow even more.

Deng Zhigang's loyalty to Su Ming has reached its peak; he would even face life-threatening situations for him without hesitation.

Once Deng Zhigang sat in the driver's seat of Li Guoqiang's black Rolls-Royce, the excitement and joy became evident on his face.

It's important to know, this used to be the vehicle of the wealthiest person in Longcheng, worth at least ten million and sometimes unavailable even if you had the money, obtainable only through connections.

What's more, the car's consecutive six digits on the license plate instantly elevated its status, making passersby stop to stare, their eyes filled with envy.

This greatly satisfied Deng Zhigang's vanity, considering he was just a guy in his early twenties.

Although Su Ming was roughly his age, after experiencing so much, the sharpness he once exuded was now subdued internally.

He could understand Deng Zhigang's mindset, recalling how he used to often take photos for social media to flaunt things.

Reflecting on this, Su Ming shook his head and turned his gaze toward the scenery outside the window.

Sitting in the back seat, he soon found himself gradually dozing off.

On the first and second nights, Deng Zhigang and Su Ming disembarked to casually find hotels to sleep for two nights.

By the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived at Wu Guizhen's hometown.

Her hometown was a small county, surrounded by mountains; although it was already past the Mid-Autumn Festival, it still felt somewhat stuffy.

Wu Guizhen's father, Wu Yaohua, was a high school teacher, and her mother, Li Sufen, was a factory worker.

Both were in their fifties, nearing retirement age.

Since it was the weekend, both the school and the factory were off, so they were at home.

"You silly girl, still waiting for that boyfriend of yours? Didn't he say he'd be here to pick you up within two days? It's already the third day, where is he? How could someone so much younger than you possibly want to be with you? Give up on him!"

In their seventh-floor apartment building, Wu Yaohua looked at the flustered Wu Guizhen standing there and sneered.

Triggered by his words, Wu Guizhen immediately retorted:

"Dad, it's not like that! He's not that kind of person! He said he'd come to get me, and he certainly won't break his promise. Maybe he got stuck in traffic..."

As Wu Guizhen spoke, her voice gradually weakened, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Then call him! Ask where he is. He can't possibly be stuck in traffic and not able to answer the phone, can he?"

Wu Yaohua seemed to see through it, sneering with sarcasm on his face.

Despite the strong faith Wu Guizhen had in Su Ming, she had unsuccessfully called him numerous times over the past two days.

His phone was either busy or switched off, leaving Wu Guizhen with no ground to argue against Wu Yaohua.

"I say, just marry Little Dong already. He's a government official, has a decent job, and looks good. He's not much older than you, and he doesn't even mind you're divorced, which is quite gracious. Why are you still hesitating?"

With insight into Wu Guizhen being unable to reach Su Ming, anger quickly rose within Wu Yaohua.

He immediately assumed Su Ming had deceived Wu Guizhen, snickering mockingly with every word.
