156: When you're out and about, your image is something you create for yourself!

Inside the luxurious villa, several figures moved back and forth.

They all had baskets on their backs, held iron arm grabbers, and bent over to pick up scraps.

The camera recorded... — — [A massive scrap-picking team is gradually taking shape!]

— — [Brother Su never expected from the start that picking up scraps would set a trend!]

— — [Hahaha... Guys, look quickly, that fatty is truly generous!]

— — [Chang Wei is so cute... I really want to hug it tight and kiss it until it cries!]

— — [Cruel woman... please spare Chang Wei, it's still small... how about kissing me instead?]

Hundreds of millions of fans and netizens in the livestream room were greatly entertained.

Right now.

The years are peaceful... stable and secure... at the headquarters of "the strongest challenger" program.

The chairman, shareholders, and directors—whether they cried or laughed, it was all because of Su Yun.

They sat obediently in their chairs, without any pretense of being bosses or tycoons.

What they displayed was the sincerity and diligence expected of laborers... and devout believers.

Watching the livestream, every inch of their skin, every cell... was straining.

Straining to pray, straining to bless Su Yun... The chairman broke the silence: "Don't worry, everyone, I heard that the official protection is very strict!"

The shareholders: ... They looked at each other, none daring to speak... If they had heard this before, someone might have believed it, but now, no one was taking it to heart.

"Sigh... The luckiest thing I've done in my life was becoming a shareholder in our company."

"Of course, the most regrettable thing I've done in my life was also becoming a shareholder in our company."

"I used to love making money, but now... I just want to live safely and securely..."

"Su Yun, this guest, is too good at causing trouble. I can feel that our company is being closely monitored by the police!"

"Don't even mention it... I don't dare go home. People in my hometown all think I'm a criminal!"

"Although the Longhai City Police Bureau police did not pursue accountability... Su Yun did, in fact, poison and incapacitate the Police Officers of an entire Police Bureau..."

The shareholders loved reviewing the past.

They, who once dominated the stock market and business world, tossing millions of funds without batting an eye.

Now truly realized: what true terror means!

It wasn't the kind that was direct or shocking... rather, it was like aged wine—the more you savored it, the more terrifying it became...

There's a saying: Western horror relies on visual and sensory fear... while Huaxia-style horror is true soul terror... a shiver that cannot be recalled.

Hearing this, the director, sitting among the crowd, mediated and comforted: "Everyone, relax, if something happens, we're all in this together!"

"Right now... isn't Brother Su Yun quite peaceful? Look at this serious attitude!"

At the same time... the elite sniper team secretly established by the military and police forces.

Dozens of people were fully ambushed, covering the villa area.

Any disturbance from all directions could easily be captured by the sniper team...

Er Niu sighed with emotion: "It's a good thing that woman didn't directly cause a conflict just now, otherwise, we would have had a real headache."

During the mission, anyone who poses a threat to Old Comrade He can be executed immediately by firing squad!

Hearing this, the first sniper, codenamed "Falcon," laughed and said: "Brother Niu, don't worry, we are the strongest!"

"When two rivals meet, the brave one wins..."

A slogan naturally slipped out.

The Deputy Group Leader chuckled, hiding under the shade of a tree: "Speaking of which... Su Yun isn't as dangerous as the rumors claim, is he?"

"I've eaten poisonous mushroom hotpot before... I've also seen a lot of related stories online..."

"For example: An elderly woman picked poisonous mushrooms from the mountain and took them home to eat. The first time they weren't fully cooked, and her husband passed away. When she got home, she felt it was a waste to throw them away, so she stir-fried them. The second time, her son and daughter-in-law were taken away for emergency treatment. When she returned, the woman was scared, so she cooked the mushrooms thoroughly, chopped them up, and fed them to her neighbor's chickens. Then the neighbor held a village feast... and after that... the entire village was poisoned and taken away for emergency treatment, earning the elderly woman the title 'Poison Destroyer'!"

Everyone: ... They had seen news reports; there were indeed many similar rumors of food poisoning.

The Deputy Group Leader continued: "So, I believe that Su Yun's previous incidents might have been exaggerated or blustered!"

"Everyone shouldn't be so tense... relax... don't overly deify Su Yun..."

The Deputy Leader said this because he worried that everyone was too nervous and would be affected by their emotions.

Everyone thought: For soldiers, obedience to orders is their sacred duty...

Group Leader Old Gong chimed in and reminded: "The Deputy Group Leader is right. Everyone should be able to observe this through their sniper scopes now, correct?"

"Su Yun is a normal person; he also has two arms and two legs, nothing special..."

"Don't be influenced by rumors..."

For a sniper, the most important thing is their state of mind...

The villa's backyard.

Su Yun and He Zhendong accompanied each other, tirelessly using the iron arm grabber to pick up scraps.

Occasionally, He Zhendong rubbed his lower back, sighing with emotion: "Oh dear, I'm getting old, my stamina can't keep up!"

"Young Comrade Su Yun, thank you for being willing to take me along to pick up scraps. Hmm... the harvest is quite large!"

In this half hour, he had already filled more than half a basket.

Among the contents were quite a few pieces of scrap iron and steel...

Experiencing scrap picking for the first time left He Zhendong deeply moved.

Su Yun grinned and laughed: "Elder He, for your age, your stamina is already excellent."

"Oh, right, Elder He... what did you mainly do when you were feeding pigs in the Military Region?"

During his days at the Steel Regiment Military District, he really hadn't visited the logistics department much.

If Regiment Commander Hu and the others hadn't mentioned it, Su Yun truly wouldn't have known that the logistics department had a pig-feeding area.

Hearing this, He Zhendong held his lower back, smiled, and explained: "It wasn't much..."

"It was just preparing feed, feeding pigs, and raising pigs every day..."

"Nothing special."

"Young Comrade Su Yun, compared to feeding pigs, I am actually very curious about... your abilities..."

He was referring to Su Yun's achievements and performance in all aspects.

For He Zhendong, the way Su Yun accidentally found those corpses and found things normal people couldn't understand was categorized as a dark kind of "luck."

Since he could become the Commander of the Southern Theater Command, he saw problems very clearly.

Deep down, the only thing he couldn't figure out was: Su Yun's skill, which was enough to crush even the King of Soldiers!

Whether it was cross-country running, obstacle training... or even various combat competitions...

A scrap picker, an amateur kid... could repeatedly break Military Region records!?

This was baffling... one must know that those record-holding events in the Military Region were established by veterans and the King of Soldiers after many years of hard work.

A young man who had never been exposed to it, who had never touched it... even if his physical fitness was excellent...

"Could it be that Young Comrade Su Yun was formerly a soldier!?"

He Zhendong's eyes narrowed slightly.

In private, he had accessed Su Yun's personal file... it was very ordinary, belonging to the category of a nameless bystander.

But... precisely because of this, the more incomprehensible he was, the more curious people became!

Just like some men pursuing women: the more unattainable she is, the more they want her!

Hearing this, Su Yun's lips twitched.

He knew it: he could fool the little foxes, but not the old fox...

Although Elder He claimed to feed pigs in the logistics department, there was always a feeling that something wasn't quite right!

Unable to figure it out, Su Yun simply replied with a wry smile: "Elder He, please stop making wild guesses!"

"I'll tell you the truth, none of the things you guessed are true!"

"Really?"

He Zhendong had genuinely wondered: Was Su Yun's personal file processed? Did he... participate in an assassin organization abroad before? Or perhaps, another foreign army!?

Regarding this... Su Yun could only smile and explain: "Elder He, if you insist on getting to the bottom of this..."

"Then this kid will tell you: actually, I come from a famous lineage, but my master forbids me from revealing his information!"

He Zhendong: ... He paused, then nodded, considering it believable.

The world is vast, and Huaxia has thousands of years of history... it's perfectly normal to have reclusive experts!

— — [My dear subjects, why are you all silent?]

— — [I always feel... Brother Su is a big swindler!]

— — [Brother Su spoke, but it feels like he said nothing at all!]

— — [Oh, I get it! From now on, when people ask where my girlfriend is, I'll say... the Saintess of Saintess Peak is my girlfriend!]

— — [When you're out and about, the image you project is up to you!]

Phew... Seeing that Elder He stopped pressing the matter, Su Yun heavily sighed in relief.

The iron arm grabber in his hand operated rapidly.

Grab, toss... into the basket!

The entire sequence of movements was fluid and practiced to a heartbreaking degree...
