Siheyuan: The Veteran Can't Hide His Hidden Strength

Chen Zheng, deputy company commander of a reconnaissance company, moves into a courtyard compound. Everyone expects Silly Zhu to bully him.

Silly Zhu and his buddies block the doorway, only for him to fall flat on his face. Everyone thinks he just slipped.

Jia Zhangshi steals grain and tries to frame someone else. Chen Zheng glances at the footprints and says, "You stepped in with your left foot first. You've got a guilty conscience."

No one knows that this third-grade bench fitter was once at the peak of the Ming Jin stage.

Even fewer know that his file says "pending investigation," and that Liu Qing from the factory's security department salutes whenever she sees him.

Chen Zheng coughs up blood. "I took a bullet to the right lung. I can only fight for forty seconds."

Liu Qing takes a step back. "What can you do in forty seconds?"

"Kill you."
