That morning during military training, you were still First Grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And by the afternoon, you had already broken through to Second Grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, you even reached the top in the First Battle. Your strength is now plain for all to see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng was in extremely good spirits, and he naturally spoke more as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, everyone else at the table, including the people at the other tables, was completely dumbfounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the banquet had started, the chair beside Wang Longcheng had been tucked under the table the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Wang Longcheng had not offered it, no one had dared to sit there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he was actually pulling out the chair himself and telling a high school student to sit there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he even started chatting with him as though no one else existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly astonishing. Just who was this young man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Wang Longcheng’s last sentence let everyone know that this seemed to be the champion of this year’s Abyss First Battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that still did not make sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when had any Abyss First Battle champion ever received this kind of treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng was the deputy commander of the military district!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the champion of the Abyss First Battle got to meet a military district instructor and receive a few words of praise, that was already enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when could he sit beside the deputy commander and eat with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid their shock, one after another, they quickly sent messages to their aides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who moved fast enough figured out Li Mu’s identity in less than a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was that young master from the family whose S-rank talent had been stolen a few days ago, the one everyone had been talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still could not figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was the relationship between this young man and Wang Longcheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet Wang Longcheng gave no introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Longcheng was genuinely happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu had not helped him pinpoint those two ruined meridians, and allowed him to make the split-second decision to abandon them, he had no idea when he would have been able to break through to the Profound Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not even been sure whether he would be able to step into the Profound Rank at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts had proven that his gamble had been the right one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After abandoning those meridians, he had broken into the Profound Rank in a single attempt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as nothing unexpected happened to him, the rank of Lesser Tiger Marquis was basically already in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he advanced one step further, reaching the position of commander would be only a matter of time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For someone like you, it’s nothing more than childish play.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? At such a young age, how are you already this modest? Wasn’t your edge supposed to be pretty sharp, brat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng teased him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu were really some modest old-fashioned good guy, he would not have directly broken the instructor’s leg during military training!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, your Aunt Bai was still talking about you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Longcheng spoke, he shifted slightly and revealed the woman seated on his other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman looked to be around forty. She had short hair, striking beauty, and a heroic air between her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was none of the weariness that usually came with age. Instead, she gave off a sharp and capable impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she was looking at Li Mu with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw this woman, Li Mu’s heart jolted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also appeared in the news all the time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief Director of the Law Enforcement Division of Tieshou City’s Eastern Urban District, Bai Tiewei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed she should be Wang Longcheng’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many leaders from the law enforcement departments had shown up to offer congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after all this, the two of them were husband and wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was nicknamed “Iron-Hand Rose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a woman to command the violent apparatus of an entire district!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having only a deputy commander husband was useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without truly formidable strength and methods, there was absolutely no way she could suppress everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a high-martial world, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In officialdom here, strength and background came first, while ability and seniority had to be pushed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the major flaws of a high-martial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was also part of the sad reality behind why China was infested with so many parasites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person with overwhelming strength would not necessarily know how to govern. Whether they did good or evil depended entirely on their own likes and dislikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most people with deep backgrounds only knew how to line their own pockets. Being a useless seat-warmer was already the better case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who truly had talent, meanwhile, could not sit in positions where they had any say at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were simply too many people whose talents went unrecognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bai Tiewei continued from Wang Longcheng’s words with a smile, “Xiao Mu, Auntie still hasn’t properly thanked you for last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there’s nothing your mother needs you for, then come home with me first and sit for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words completely stunned Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first time meeting Bai Tiewei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was she talking about last time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she had even mentioned Li Mu’s mother, acting as though they were very familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden flash of understanding came to Li Mu, and he instantly grasped Bai Tiewei’s intention!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng and his wife were helping him!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the people seated here today were, in all likelihood, Bai Tiewei’s people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng’s real network lay within the Abyss-Suppressing Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might well have already held another celebratory banquet below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, in front of all these people, Wang Longcheng had pulled Li Mu to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bai Tiewei was speaking to him like an old acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This husband-and-wife pair was clearly trying to back Li Mu up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu was deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had probably also learned that he was currently in the middle of an intense conflict with the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why they were using Wang Longcheng’s banquet to lend Li Mu a hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll follow Aunt Bai’s arrangements in everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the many leaders around them all still looked cheerful and sociable on the surface, but in their hearts, stormy waves had already been stirred up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes drifted toward Li Mu from time to time, all of them guessing just how deep Li Mu’s relationship with Wang Longcheng and his wife really was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, they did not even have many chances to curry favor with Bai Tiewei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the people at the four outer tables, that went without saying. Some of them had barely even seen Wang Longcheng a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially someone like the minister of the Jixiang Road Law Enforcement Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only managed to squeeze into this banquet after expending an enormous amount of effort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei was his direct superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only ever seen her a handful of times during district-wide meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei was a true tiger-hearted woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had she ever been as gentle as she was today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every so often, across Wang Longcheng, she would lean over to whisper a few words to Li Mu and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing that scene, the minister of the Jixiang Road Law Enforcement Branch felt as though the world was spinning around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was about to leap out of his throat, and cold sweat drenched his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just half an hour earlier, he had received a call from the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had said they had gotten into a conflict with Li Mu and wanted him to help deal with Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had immediately arranged for people to handle the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected that Li Mu would be brought here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that he would be laughing and talking with his direct superior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know where Adjutant Zhang had picked Li Mu up from, nor did he know whether his subordinates had laid a hand on Li Mu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really had touched him, and Li Mu reported it in front of Bai Tiewei, then he would truly be finished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had kept his eyes on Bai Tiewei and Li Mu the whole time, and from beginning to end, Bai Tiewei had not once looked his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Li Mu had no intention of complaining in front of Bai Tiewei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one reason. It was not worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A favor was like a check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng did indeed owe Li Mu a huge favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trash like the minister of the Jixiang Road branch was still not worth Li Mu taking out that check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng and his wife were already publicly backing Li Mu in front of so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu then turned around and complained about some petty little branch minister, that would really be far too small-time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the banquet neared its end, the leaders left first. That was the rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng and Bai Tiewei stood up and symbolically raised a glass to everyone present, then left first with Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei’s secretary and Wang Longcheng’s deputy stayed behind to keep the others company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment those two left, the remaining leaders exchanged a few polite words and began to leave one after another as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order in which they left was also according to rank and position, perfectly orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel was already not far from the military family residential compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wang Longcheng and Bai Tiewei brought Li Mu back to the compound on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei also sincerely thanked Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew Wang Longcheng’s condition better than she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes at night, he coughed so much that he could not even sleep properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even when he managed not to cough, he still lay awake, tossing and turning in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his wife, she had suffered along with him and felt constant anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had never expected that Li Mu, just a student, would be able to remove Wang Longcheng’s greatest hidden danger and help him step into the Profound Rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after returning home, Bai Tiewei chatted with Li Mu for quite a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after that did she send someone to escort Li Mu away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after Li Mu had been sent off, an old man slowly walked down from the stairway on the second floor of the Wang residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura on this old man was far stronger than Wang Longcheng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just locking eyes with him made it feel as though a sharp sword were hanging above one’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the slightest malicious thought would be enough for that sword to pierce straight through a person!\u003C\u002Fp>",1935,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.454Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","82f4ea6b5beb1b751fe683f6736607b046a64c43e424ab480c3bb1bf78149f70","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-34","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-32",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
