C1 Return of the War God

The twilight was merging into darkness.

In a place within the extremely cold North Territory.

A black jeep sped along the white snowy road. At the back of the jeep, a young man in military uniform rubbed his slightly red eyes.

The man in the front row sighed and looked at the spectacular scene in the rearview mirror.

Behind the jeep, at the starting point of the snowy road, a group of soldiers in green military uniform stood in a neat row.

At the moment, they were all saluting towards the direction of the jeep with the most standard movements as they watched it depart.

"Respectfully sending off our war god!"

"Respectfully sending off our war god!"

…….

Suddenly, everyone cried out in unison, shaking the world with wave after wave of their voices.

When the driver heard this deafening shout, his eyes instantly became wet as he asked the young man in the back row, "Guard, are you really going to leave?"

The young man's real name was Lu Yuan. Five years ago, he enlisted into the North Territory Army which had the toughest conditions and the highest risk in China. In just five years, he had rendered outstanding merits.

At the age of twenty-seven, he had become the youngest guardian in the history of China, watching over the North Territory of the Nine Prefectures.

His reputation as an undefeatable war god in the North Territory made his enemies tremble in fear!

"With me, Lu Yuan, guarding here, who would dare to step into the city of North Territory?"

After Lu Yuan said this, he took out a picture of a man in white with a red background from the pocket of his uniform. It was a photo he took from his marriage certificate.

The photo was of him and a woman with extremely delicate facial features. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, her long hair draped smoothly over her shoulders. She had soulful eyes, a straight nose, full red lips, and white teeth. She was more beautiful than the so-called celebrities.

But in the photo, she had an indifferent expression.

"Su Lianyi, are you alright?" Lu Yuan stared at the girl in the photo and muttered.

His thoughts had already brought him to the past.

Five years ago, Su Lianyi, who had just graduated, single-handedly created the Tianzheng Group, becoming a beautiful CEO that everyone knew about.

Accident may happen any time. Right at the most critical time for the development of the Tianzheng Group, she was sabotaged by her rival who drugged her, causing her to have sex with her chauffeur.

And thelucky chauffeur happened to be Lu Yuan.

On the second day, news of the beautiful CEO of Tianzheng Group fooling around with the company driver appeared on the headlines of all the major news outlets in Yun Prefecture.

Instantly, everyone in Yun Prefecture avidly took up this seemingly inconceivable news as a topic for discussion after lunch.

Due to the public embarrassment, not only did the Tianzheng Group fail to raise funds, but the value of its shares had plunged overnight, incurring huge losses.

In order to minimize the impact of the scandal, the Su Family decided to have Lu Yuan marry into their family.

However, it was because of this matter that the Su Family had become the laughingstock of the other families and their formerly high status plummeted.

Not long after their marriage, Lu Yuan left without a word so that one day, he would be worthy of Su Lianyi.

For the past five years, her beautiful face had always appeared in his mind, becoming the driving force behind his rise to the peak of power and glory.

However, Lu Yuan's heart was filled with guilt whenever he thought of her.

…….

Three days later, at Yun Prefecture International Airport, a Boeing 737 slowly descended at the tarmac.

"Finally, I'm back!"

Lu Yuan walked down the flight of stairs and stepped into the grounds of Yun Prefecture. A rare smile appeared on his serious face.

"Wah!" "Mom, where are you?"

In the airport lobby, the sound of a little girl's crying caught Lu Yuan's attention. He didn't know why, but this strange sound made his heart tighten.

"Guard..."

Just as his companion, Lee Yao, was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lu Yuan, "Lee Yao, I am no longer in North Territory. This form of address is not allowed to appear again."

Looking at the solemn expression on Lu Yuan's face, Lee Yao was filled with confusion. He asked tentatively, "Mr Yuan?"

Seeing Lu Yuan's calm expression, he smiled and said, "Mr Yuan, I think that crying girl looks quite similar to you."

Lu Yuan glanced at the little girl when he heard that, but with that one glance, his gaze could no longer leave her. A strong sense of familiarity spread in Lu Yuan's heart.

Especially the little girl's crying, it made Lu Yuan's heart ache for some reason.

As if she had sensed something, the little girl suddenly stopped crying and looked up at Lu Yuan with tears in her eyes.

The two looked at each other, allowing Lu Yuan to see the girl's face even more clearly. That inexplicable feeling of intimacy became even stronger.

The little girl had an exquisite little face that seemed carved from jade. Her fair and flawless skin revealed faint traces of powder. Her big eyes were filled with tears that were about to burst out. She stared straight at Lu Yuan.

The little girl looked like she was only four or five years old. Even at that young age, she was already a beauty. When she grew up, she would definitely be a looker.

"Daddy!"

The little girl suddenly called out excitedly.

Before Lu Yuan could react, the little girl ran over happily and hugged his leg.

What's going on?

Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the ground and his mind went blank.

Lee Yao, who was by his side, was also shocked. He stuttered, "It can't be! Can she really be Mr Yuan's daughter?"

After a while, Lu Yuan slowly came back to his senses. He squatted down and looked straight at the girl's blinking big eyes and said as gently as he could, "Little girl, you got the wrong person. I'm not your dad."

"Boohoo..."

When the little girl heard Lu Yuan's words, she didn't let go. Instead, she hugged him even more tightly and started crying louder, "Daddy, are you going to leave me behind again?"

When the surrounding passengers saw this scene, they began to discuss among themselves.

Seeing the little loli crying again, Lu Yuan's heartache became even worse. He was not experienced enough to know how to comfort her.

As a dignified war god of North Territory, he never felt frightened even when facing millions of enemies. Yet now, in front of a four or five-year-old child, he didn't know what to do.

If his Snow Wolf teammates saw this, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

"Little girl, I'm really not your father!"

"Daddy doesn't want me anymore!"

Every time Lu Yuan tried to talk, the little girl cried even more.

After a long while…

Lu Yuan, who was sweating profusely, finally gave in and gently picked up the little girl.

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Lu Yuan. Her soft white arms hugged Lu Yuan's neck tightly, afraid that he would abandon her again.

"Mr Yuan, I also think that you look quite similar to this girl. It seems like she really thinks of you as her dad."

Lee Yao said with a smile, but he tactfully shut his mouth as he saw Lu Yuan look at him sharply.

Feeling helpless, Lu Yuan carried the little girl to the airport security.

The little girl was naturally protestingng and making a ruckus, but Lu Yuan reluctantly steeled himself and left with Lee Yao.

They were just about to leave when a long-haired woman wearing a black business suit hastily ran into the airport security area.

"Xiaoxiao!"

When she saw the little girl who was still struggling in the arms of the security staff, she immediately rushed up with tears streaming down her face and hugged the little girl tightly.

To her, the little girl was her life.

Five years ago, when she was newly married, she discovered that she was pregnant, but that man suddenly disappeared. She later found out from her mother that he took 500,000 from her father and left.

The continuous blows made her want to commit suicide, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered when thinking about the innocent life in her stomach.

In these five years, she had endured all sorts of humiliation. Even the company she had single-handedly set up was taken away by her family during her childbirth.

The pain she had gone through for the past five years was all thanks to that person.

She hated that person, that man who had left her without saying goodbye and disappeared for five years.

"Mom, Dad is back! I've finally seen Dad!"

The little girl looked at her mother with tears shining from her eyes. She said dejectedly, "But Daddy doesn't want me anymore!"

The little girl's words were like a hammer that struck at the long-haired woman's heart. Her entire body trembled and her eyes became dull.
