Ren Bingfei's tiny mouth formed an 'O' in surprise; this was the first time she had seen someone so freakishly strong.

All the big men had fallen, and Cao Zifeng was also staring in astonishment. Then, he felt a great force under his wheelchair, and his view kept rising, realizing that he was being lifted up by Yang Zhantian.

"You… what do you want to do? I am the third son of the Cao Family."

Before his words fell, the wheelchair was violently thrown out, crashing against the wall and shattering to pieces, with Cao Zifeng spitting out blood profusely, limp on the ground like a dead dog.

Yang Zhantian dusted off his hands, as if he had done something very ordinary, walked over to Lin Hai, and nodded at him.

Lin Hai smiled and nodded back in response.

With a snap, the iron chains on him were broken by Yang Zhantian, and Lin Hai was free.

"Thanks a lot, Brother Yang," Lin Hai said with gratitude.

Yang Zhantian also replied with a smile, "It was Grandpa Tao and Ghost Master who called me. I happened to be on a mission with the Viper squad, so I rushed over. Brother Lin, are you alright?"

He was so polite because, on the phone, Old Mr. Tao's tone was very serious, requesting Yang Zhantian to rescue Lin Hai at all costs, ensuring that he would suffer no grievances or injuries. Moreover, just after hanging up, Ghost Master immediately called.

The consecutive calls from two big shots made Yang Zhantian take it seriously. At the same time, he was curious to meet Lin Hai and see what kind of person he was that could make two such respected Chiefs care so much.

"It's fine, thanks to you for arriving in time, Brother Yang."

While responding with a smile, Lin Hai helped Ren Bingfei up.

The few officers following Yang Zhantian, carrying the rank of two bars with three stars on their shoulders and slightly older in age, finally ran in.

Seeing the big men lying on the ground in pain and moaning, along with the unconscious and miserable Cao Zifeng, they all gasped in shock, their expressions troubled.

"Brother Yang, you are putting us in a difficult position," the middle-aged officer hesitated, then said.

Yang Zhantian glanced at Lin Hai and said to the middle-aged officer, "I'll take responsibility for this."

"This…" The three middle-aged officers still had a troubled look; after all, Yang Zhantian's strength was something they did not dare to offend, but the Cao Family's power was so great they didn't dare to offend either. Caught in between, they felt to be in an impossible situation, troubled on both sides.

Lin Hai smiled, took out his phone, dialed Old Mr. Tao's number, and handed it to the middle-aged officer, signaling him with his eyes to take the call.

Actually, deep down the middle-aged officer was a bit resentful towards Lin Hai – if not for this kid causing trouble, why put themselves through such difficulty that could result in losing their positions.

Picking up the phone, the middle-aged military officer was puzzled and about to voice some complaints when he heard a weathered voice from the other end: "This is Old Tao, former commander of the F Military District. May I ask if you are a leader of the Viper unit?"

Upon hearing this, the officer was stunned. Then the sweat on his forehead started pouring down and his heart felt like it was beating wildly without stop.

The former commander of the F Military District? Old Tao? To him, this was a figure to look up to.

Although Old Tao is now semi-retired, he is a veteran revolutionary who came through the anti-Japanese war. In the military, he is nothing short of a legend, with many Kings of Soldiers from various military districts having been personally groomed by him. Even the big bosses currently in the Military Department are his die-hard loyalists.

It could be said that while Old Tao might no longer be in the military, his legend still lingers there. It was by his own volition that he gave up staying on in the military, to provide room for the younger generation to move up. Just this magnanimity alone earned him the deep admiration and respect of countless passionate soldiers.

"Ah, Old Chief, hello! I am the Regimental Commander of the Viper unit. Ah, you can just call me Wu, it's not inconvenient, really not at all. Oh, Lin Hai is your... friend? Oh, I see, understood, Wu got it. Yes, Old Chief, rest assured, Wu will certainly handle things fairly and justly. Ah? Don't worry, Old Chief, Lin Hai is safe and sound, there will be absolutely nothing amiss, I guarantee it with my life. Oh-oh, goodbye for now, Old Chief, take care of your health."

As the busy tone beeped through the phone, the officer nodded and bowed repeatedly towards the handset, demonstrating utmost respect as if the person on the other end was standing right in front of him.

Looking at the officer's expression and demeanor, the other two companions showed extremely puzzled looks.

Ren Bingfei was also full of confusion and shock. That was Regimental Commander Wu, a senior military officer in her eyes, treating someone on a phone call with such respect. Who on earth was on the phone? Old Chief? Which Old Chief?

A series of speculations made Ren Bingfei extremely curious about Lin Hai. She felt that she could no longer see clearly who exactly Lin Hai was. From the beginning, when this guy seemed sleazy, to later showing an air of fearlessness, which impressed her deep down, to now, revealing connections that finally made her take a new view of Lin Hai.

"Who dares to touch my Brother Lin?"

With a spirited cry, a beautiful figure leapt out—it was none other than Xia Chuqing.

Yang Zhantian squinted his eyes slightly. He didn't expect a young woman to be so powerful; it was quite rare indeed.

"Heh, Chuqing, I'm alright now," Lin Hai said with a grin, feeling even more touched. It's only in times of trouble that one realizes who truly cares for them.

The three officers glanced at Xia Chuqing, and once again looked at Lin Hai with astonishment. They didn't expect this unassuming Lin Hai to have a connection with Miss Xia.

Being the highest leadership of the Viper unit, they also discreetly knew of Xia Chuqing's true identity—she was the biological daughter of Master Xia, the Vice Chief of the Inner Palace. Let alone the small Viper unit, even in Yanjing, she's someone that none of the second-generation playboys dare to offend but must instead flatter cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai was acquainted with the young princess of the Xia Family. Who exactly was this young man?

Seeing the three leaders of the Viper unit, Xia Chuqing didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "Uncles, I have already notified my father, and he should soon contact you. I hope you won't make things difficult for Brother Lin; he is truly a good person."

The faces of the three officers showed an embarrassed expression, their minds filled with even more astonishment. This matter had actually prompted action from Master Xia, the Vice Chief of the Inner Palace. Just who is Lin Hai?

Lin Hai, seeing the officers' confusion, quickly said: "Leaders, I'm just an ordinary person with a few more friends. I hope we can handle this matter with discretion. What do you think?"

"Oh, Brother Lin, rest assured, naturally, discretion is also our unit's way of doing things, hehe," Regimental Commander Wu replied with a laugh. At this point, he wouldn't dare to complain about Lin Hai. Not only could he not complain, but he should also be thankful that Lin Hai had connections with the top brass. This was a good thing.
