So, when Mu Mingcheng was eighteen years old, he secretly applied to the military academy without informing his family.

By the time the family found out, the matter had already become a foregone conclusion.

Xu Baishan originally thought to himself, how long could the boy persist in such a strict place as military academy, especially as a wealthy son who has never suffered in life?

Unexpectedly, for the whole year, he did not receive a single phone call from Mu Mingcheng complaining about his hards.h.i.+p.

Another year in military academy, he received news that Mu Mingcheng was elected to be part of the special forces.

When Mu Mingcheng went to military academy, he never revealed his ident.i.ty. Every bit of merit was earned by himself.

He won more and more awards, making the upper echelons of the army noticed him, and soon, they discovered that he was Xu Baishan's grandson.

There are rumours in the circle that Xu Baishan was training him as his heir, and in the future, the Xu family's influence in the army will definitely be handed over to this boy.

When the rumours reached Xu Baishan, he was dissatisfied. While he really favored Mu Mingcheng, his grandson, his surname is 'Mu', not 'Xu'. No matter how much he liked him, he couldn't inherit Xu's family influence.

Xu Baishan initially wanted to suppress this piece of news, but had no idea where Xu Chenghui and his brother somehow received such information. Suddenly, the Xu brothers tried several times harder than usual, afraid that other people may compare them with this cousin who had a different surname.

Xu Baishan looked at the situation and quietly changed his plans. He would use Mu Mingcheng to motivate the descendants of Xu family; perhaps it would help stimulate two promising grandsons of his to reach their potential. Knowing Mu Mingcheng's abilities, he would not easily have an accident, so Xu Baishan occasionally sat on the sidelines, observing Xu Chenghui's black-handed behavior towards Mu Mingcheng.

Until that time, four years ago, Mu Mingcheng's life was endangered.

After that, Mu Mingcheng reported that he had been injured and wished to retire before going back to inherit the Mu family's business…

He did not regret using Mu Mingcheng to hone his descendants, but he regretted that the man he had always valued, Xu Chenghui, was a hopeless straw bag. [T/N: Straw bag aka a good-for-nothing]
