Phantom: As the name suggests, there seems to be something and there is nothing. All members have no names to the outside world, only code names. It is not subordinate to any military region or any branch of the armed forces, and is directly responsible to the highest level of the General Staff Department.

Other Special Forces members have iconic tattoos or other special markings, but the Phantom members have nothing. If they die because of their mission, no one will know that they are military personnel. Nor will they be awarded the title of martyr.

When there are no tasks, they work and live like ordinary people. Only when their direct contact contacts contact them in a special way will they revert back to the identity represented by their own code name to perform various special tasks.

These special missions may not all be fights and kills, but they must be top-secret missions at the national level. There is even a considerable task of being directly accountable to the highest levels of the state.

Four years later, Xiao Tian, who was less than 19 years old, retired due to injury. All internal files and written information also show that he did leave the army.

In the nearly 15 years since then, Xiao Tian has used his identity as a businessman to establish his own Yuntian business empire, and on the other hand, he has gone from being the leader of an action group of Phantoms when he retired on the surface, to taking over the entire Phantom, and then to becoming the head of the newly formed Dragon Shadow Warband.

Phantom and Dragon Shadow are two teams with different natures, but whether it is Phantom or Dragon Shadow, they are currently top-secret existences.

The old man put away the majesty on his face, patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder, and looked at him with love in his eyes.

"Xiao Tian, do you know what the plan is for you? Although you are only a major general now, the power you actually hold in your hands has long exceeded that of many officers with higher ranks than you. As long as there are no major accidents, in the future, it is not impossible for you to reach Uncle Cheng's current position. ”

Uncle Cheng's position is the only supreme existence in the army. Such hints are not unclear.

Xiao Tian looked at Uncle Cheng in front of him, whose hair was already a little gray. For so many years, Uncle Cheng has been personally following his growth.

Xiao Tian had seen Uncle Cheng take out two photo albums from the safe cabinet in his study. One is a photo of Uncle Cheng and his comrades-in-arms when he was young, and the other is a photo of him from childhood to adulthood.

In the first album, Xiao Tian saw a photo of his father and Uncle Cheng. Many things about his father, he listened to Uncle Cheng tell him.

Although he saw that there was actually a third album in the vault when he opened it, he didn't ask about the contents of the other album.

"Uncle Cheng, thank you for your high hopes and cultivation for Xiaotian. But if this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, I might as well die as a life! What future can I talk about?" Xiao Tian's resoluteness was not shaken by Uncle Cheng's appeasement.

Uncle Cheng took Xiao Tian's shoulders and slowly walked back to the sofa chair and sat down.

"I understand your anger at the uncertainty of your lover's life and death and the wrongs you have suffered. As far as I know, Ouyang Zhenjun's affairs have already been grasped above. It's just that out of consideration for the overall situation, he has not been moved for the time being. ”

Xiao Tian's brows furrowed tightly. With Uncle Cheng's position, it is self-evident who the "above" in his mouth is.

"Then for the sake of the overall situation, will the top not move him?"

Uncle Cheng continued to reassure: "Xiaotian, don't be impatient! If you want to move Ouyang Zhenjun, you need evidence, you need enough ironclad evidence, and in addition, you need time." ”

"I've brought the evidence, and now I can hand it over to you. Caiyue's accident is because of these ironclad evidence of Ouyang Zhenjun's crimes and violations of discipline. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Tian took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Cheng. As for timing, Xiao Tian's principle has always been that when he can't create an opportunity, he will passively wait.

Uncle Cheng didn't take the USB flash drive, but gently patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder.

"Give this plate to the top with your own hands. You've been hiding in the detention center for months, and you're quite unhappy. Although there is a reason for the incident, you can't escape this matter and you have to give an explanation. Again, in a few days, the two sessions will be held. You'll put it on in advance and wait until the meeting is over, okay?"

Xiao Tian understood what Uncle Cheng meant, and immediately put away the excitement on his face.

"Uncle Cheng, I understand! I will focus on the overall situation!"

Uncle Cheng nodded, a smile on his face.

"Five years ago, when you took over the Dragon Shadow Clan, Uncle Cheng deliberately made your identity as an active soldier public. It's just that the above doesn't want the dragon shadow to be exposed too early, and in a short period of time, there is no one more suitable to be the leader of the phantom than you. So, you can only keep this dual identity all the time.

This time, because of his personal interests, Ouyang Zhenjun actually openly issued a notice on TV to assist you in the investigation, and your true identity may not be easy to hide anymore. There is already anger in this matter.

However, sooner or later, your identity will have to be explained to the whole army. So, it's a bad thing and a good thing that this matter has developed to this point!"

Xiao Tian didn't have much objection to this.

Although he has been the chairman of Yuntian for more than ten years, he has never forgotten that his true identity is an active soldier and a general of the republic!

Therefore, he has been making meticulous and thoughtful preparations for his sacrifice or withdrawal at any time.

That's why he took this step of Ai Caiyue with great difficulty.

"Well, I understand. The current Yuntian, even without me as the chairman, will not have much of a problem. ”

Uncle Cheng nodded with satisfaction again.

"It's okay for you to come over now, and you yourself will report Ouyang Zhenjun's problem to the top in person, which may make the investigation progress of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection much faster. But don't be in a hurry, and don't be presumptuous, because it's not just your personal business!"

Xiao Tian nodded: "Uncle Cheng, I understand!"

The smile on Uncle Cheng's face was even bigger.

"In the near future, you should stay with me for the time being. We two young and old, maybe we haven't had a good chat for a long time. Yingzi has been arguing for me to help her find you to sit at home. This time, she finally got her wish. ”

After talking about business, Xiao Tian's face also relaxed: "Sister Yingzi has graduated from the military academy, right?"

"I graduated in the second half of last year. This girl is now older, and it really gives me a headache. I don't know which man will dare to marry her in the future?"

When Uncle Cheng said this, a sad expression appeared on his face. He was really worried, because when he mentioned this topic, he remembered a conversation with his daughter the day before his daughter entered the military school a few years ago.

"Yingzi, when you enter the military academy, you are not allowed to be naughty, you are not allowed to come under my banner, you are not allowed to fall in love, and you are not allowed to ......"

The little ancestor gnawed on the apple in his mouth, with an indifferent face, "When did I get naughty, when did I come here under your banner?"

Make Lao Tzu's decision to lay out the facts, so that the small one has no way to quibble

"In the second grade of primary school, he dared to put snakes in his classmates' schoolbags and give them medicine. When he was in junior high school, he dared to pour 10,000 years of glue on the teacher's chair and let the teacher fall in public and chew. When I was in high school, I was even more daring, and I actually took a group of classmates to the Academic Affairs Office to find school leadership theories. Isn't this all something you've done?"

The little ancestor chewed on the red apple and nodded.

"Yes, I did it, but it all happened for a reason. That classmate bullied other classmates because he had a background at home. The teacher was wrong and refused to admit his mistake, and retaliated against the students. The Academic Affairs Office is even more excessive, in order to curry favor with the superiors, let female students participate in so-called social activities. Something happened to the students, and they also passed the blame away. Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

Mrs. Cheng saw that Lao Tzu was speechless by her daughter, so she began to play a round.

"Yingzi, there is one thing your father said correctly, early love is absolutely not allowed, do you hear?"

The little ancestor agreed very happily to this.

"Please rest assured that the chief and the chief's wife will not fall in love! Except for Brother Xiao Tian, other men will not be able to enter my eyes at all. ”

That was the first time Uncle Cheng knew about his daughter's unacceptable relationship.

Seeing Uncle Cheng's sad face, Xiao Tian couldn't help but smile.

His handsome sister, who was definitely a weird tomboy with elves, would definitely be a golden match with her if he were ten years younger.

"Uncle Cheng, it's really unnecessary for you to worry about this. If Yingzi's sister is elsewhere, it may be really difficult to find a boyfriend. But now that she's in the army, isn't that good guy up to her pick?"

Uncle Cheng shook his head helplessly. If Xiao Tian knew that his daughter's crush was him, it is estimated that he would not dare to be as relaxed as he is now.

He didn't continue to dwell on this headache for him, stood up, and put his arm around Xiao Tian's shoulder again like a son.

"Let's go, we're done talking, it's time for you to go see grandpa. He thinks you think you can't do anything. Grandpa won't miss me for a few days without seeing me, but if he doesn't hear your name for a day, he will feel uncomfortable. I've had you all the photos go through, and he's going to take a magnifying glass and look at them one by one when he's fine. I can't hide your business from him. In the past few months, Grandpa has really worried about your business. ”

Hearing Uncle Cheng mention his grandfather, Xiao Tian was also slightly excited, "Is grandpa well?"

Uncle Cheng's expression was a little gloomy.

Xiao Tian saw Uncle Cheng like this, and his face was a little gloomy. Centenarians, no matter how good their health is, what can they do?

An old man and a young man walked out of the study side by side, went downstairs, and walked to the door of a warm pavilion in the south.

The area of this warm pavilion is not large, and the layout is very simple. Against the wall was a small bed, on which lay an emaciated old man with wrinkles and age spots on his face.

Uncle Cheng walked to the bed and said loudly, "Father, Xiaotian has come to see you!"

Hearing the word "Xiaotian", the old man was obviously a little excited, and opened his eyes to search.

Xiao Tian hurriedly walked to the bed and squatted down so that the old man could see him up close.

In the past few years, grandpa has aged faster and faster. The last time I saw my grandfather, my grandfather was still red-faced, and he could still walk a few steps on crutches. The voice is also loud and powerful. This time, Grandpa could only see him in bed. It seems that this time, grandpa has really consumed a lot of attention for his business.
