Zhao Gengpeng, Zhao is a big surname, and the two characters of Gengpeng are extremely majestic whether combined or separated. However, this person has a handsome face that makes many women feel inferior. In his family, there are many female members, which is a typical case of yin sheng yang shuai (a Chinese idiom describing a family with more females than males). He grew up in a family dominated by women and was spoiled by his parents, who didn't know how to love him more, only knew how to love him even more. Despite being raised like a girl or being treated as a girl by his elders, he never acquired any feminine traits. From a young age, he liked fighting and used his fists to teach the children in the compound some lessons that would still be useful when they grew up.

  He had gone through a lot of hardships and learned Wing Chun from a master who never left the mountains for over a decade. He wouldn't say he was perfect, but even without further training in the army, he could easily take down five or six fools who dared to call him a weakling. After joining the army, he became a sharp knife soldier. During an exchange exercise with a unit from the Nanjing Military Region, he successfully knocked down a tough guy from the Nanjing Military Region on the stage, becoming famous overnight and earning the nickname "Bear".

  He was doing well in the Shanghai Garrison, with a solid foundation and deep red family ties. An old man from the Nanjing Military Region with several rows of medals took notice of him and promised to take him to Beijing to see the world in a year or two. This young man with capital had been living a smooth life for over 20 years, never suffering a major setback. But being beaten down in front of his gang at the Henglong Plaza bar made Zhao Kunpeng feel that he had lost not only the prestige accumulated over 20 years but also shattered the self-doubt hidden deep within him.

  Looks like a woman, so I have to act more manly than men who look very masculine, this is self-deception, and it's also a distorted form of self-esteem, all stemming from inferiority.

  When the two-meter-tall giant stood in front of him, seeing Wu Huang being knocked flying by Chen Fugui's thick and powerful tackle, Zhao Kunpeng knew he had completely lost. This made him feel like a total wimp, his body humiliated by this giant. The shame would be etched in his heart forever, unless one day he could trample Chen Fugui underfoot and vent his anger.

  But the wealth and honor are gone, and after spending a lot of money and connections, Zhao Kunkun only found Chen Ergou, a small-time character who usually couldn't enter his life and circle, hiding in Ah Mei's restaurant. It was this kind of small fry that capsized his boat and made him fall into the gutter, making people remember to hate him. Wu Huang was born to be an official or politician, he could swallow his pride and take a step back, putting the greater good into action, but Zhao Kunkun couldn't do it. He thought to himself that he just wanted to spend his whole life in the army, not seeking to rise through the ranks or become a general, just wanting to live comfortably.

  The power of the gun, the old generation has been talking about it for a lifetime. Zhao Kunpeng thinks it's reasonable that every man has a gun under his crotch, which is not surprising. Now he has two guns, and the second one is used to trample people. He didn't say goodbye to any acquaintances, nor did he reveal anything to Tan Jia's stunning beauty, who was more breathtaking than her chest. He didn't even tell Wu Huang, with whom he had been calling brother since childhood, that he wanted to avenge Chen Erdou.

  Defeat your enemy thoroughly and don't give them any chance of a comeback.

  This was something that Zhao Kunpeng's grandfather would occasionally say at the dinner table, and this old man who had already retired to a secondary role during a certain period of time was almost beaten to death by several old opponents, but later turned around and beat them back until they were forced to move abroad with their families. Zhao Kunpeng was the old man's most beloved grandson, so he heard these words the most, which is why Zhao Kunpeng had always been a ruthless person, ruthless enough that many of Shanghai's first-line young masters and spoiled sons didn't dare provoke him.

  Zhao Ganpeng arrived at the Nanjing Military Region Affiliated Hospital, one of China's seven major military regions. Each region has its own strengths and secrets, with the Nanjing Military Region being in charge of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Jiangxi, Anhui, and Fujian provinces. The region is not poor due to its control over the wealthy areas of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, as well as its coastal location, which allows it to profit from oil. Although it's not the capital city, its proximity to Taiwan also ensures a significant military budget allocation. The young generation that comes out of this region is relatively down-to-earth compared to other regions, with fewer going into politics but more going into business. However, there are still those who are cunning and ambitious, like Zhao Ganpeng, who is currently standing beside Wu Huang's hospital bed. The young woman he sees talking to Wu Huang is a typical example of the Nanjing clique - talented and outstanding. Although Wu Huang has a broad vision and ambition, his family background is limited to northern Jiangsu. Zhao Ganpeng also has a clear understanding of his own situation - after his father retired, the Zhao family in Shanghai became relatively insignificant. He relied on his own efforts to earn respect for this generation of young relatives. The Tang family, however, is different. They have consistently shown no signs of decline along the southeastern coast and have avoided the awkward situation of a lack of successors. This generation has a tendency to surpass their predecessors, as seen in Tang Xin, who has taken an unconventional path. She is not a party member but a key figure in the China Democratic League. Her ambitions go beyond becoming a future central committee member, although the specifics are not for outsiders to know. In short, the Tang family has expanded its influence from politics and business to culture, with Zhao Ganpeng's father commenting after meeting Tang Xin: "The Tang family is indeed a large tree."

  Wu Huang lay in bed, looking better, no longer as weak as he was for the first one or two weeks. Seeing Zhao Kunpeng, he smiled and said: "Xiongzi, Xiaohao has gone abroad to study according to his family's wishes. He told me to remind you that Xiangxin sister must chat with you on MSN every day."

  Zhao Gupeng said with disdain, "That stinky bug should have left the country long ago. I still have to get Aunt Dou to give her only a little money every month, so she won't think that eating a few meals in the cafeteria is experiencing the hardships of the common people."

  "Xiao Dou is still young, don't impose your ideas on her, everything needs a process. Being spoiled in a greenhouse is not good, but it's also not right to rush her growth."

  She smiled and said that she wasn't wearing a cheongsam today, but a very orthodox professional attire. However, even the most orthodox outfit couldn't help but bring a touch of coolness on a summer day, making the eyes of the male cattle in front of her shine brightly and drool three feet long. The two men in front of her were both considered young and outstanding, Wu Huang didn't get along with oily-tongued people, while Zhao Kunpeng looked down on traditional high-ranking officials or second-generation rich kids who were stiff and rigid. Their social circles weren't very big, and perhaps combined they wouldn't even be half as large as hers. This was Tan Xin's strength - today she could chat with these two men, and maybe this afternoon she could play golf with some second-generation rich kid and their elders, while tonight she would go drink tea and play chess with a retired but still influential old man.

  Zhao Ganpeng didn't refute, he secretly admired Tan Xin, this was a well-known fact to everyone on the street. He didn't break through this layer of paper, and Tan Xin also didn't deliberately avoid him. Both were intelligent people, the former knew he couldn't conquer the latter, and the latter also knew that if this matter was exposed, their friendship might not be able to continue.

  Zhao Gengpeng and Tan Xinqi got up to leave, Wu Huan said a meaningful sentence: "Xiongzi, this matter, if you can let go, then let go, if not, wait and see. Our lives are not worth more than others, we all crawled out of our mother's womb."

  Tan Xin accompanied Zhao Kunpeng out of the hospital, and with her keen mind, she naturally noticed the changes in Xiongzi over this period. It was a qualitative change after quantitative accumulation ignited the fuse line, but not all the butterflies that broke out of their cocoons were colorful. Maybe they were even uglier maggots. Whether it was a butterfly or a maggot, Tan Xin didn't care. Her relationship with Xiongzi was good, but not to the point where she would worry about life and death. She was just an onlooker, and as far as she was concerned, maggots were better suited for survival.

  Shanghai has a very interesting saying that butterflies no matter how beautiful they are, can't fly over the ocean, and the best outcome is to be made into specimens.

  This interesting guy who has given many topics to the big and small circles in Shanghai is called Fang Yiming, Fang Shao. Everyone in Shanghai likes to call him that, but Tan Xin finds it ridiculous. Names like Fang Shao, Yang Shao, Wu Shao, etc., make her feel goosebumps all over, but she can't deny that this Fang Shao who has made Xiongzi look at him with new eyes is indeed a clever and charismatic person with great eloquence and presence.

  For some reason, she thought of that man with a slight hunchback again, like a fierce Tibetan mastiff bursting into the great city of Shanghai.

  Tan Xin glanced at Zhao Junpeng's back and looked forward to the fight between this Shanghai black dog and the Northeastern mountain dog.
