Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 288 Shen Yue: Could it be that the old man from the family is trying to harm me?

"Sister Yehui, let me see you off a little further."

"No need, you've already brought it to the door."

When Feng Zaixing and Yuanen Zhentian noticed Yuanen Yehui's return, a woman in military uniform who looked to be in her early twenties walked up to them.

"Is that Shen Xing?" Feng Zaixing recognized the woman in military uniform and frowned slightly.

Shen Xing is a direct descendant of the Shen family. He is in his early twenties and has the cultivation level of a Soul King. His talent is not just average, but rather that of an ordinary genius.

It is not commensurate with his status as a direct descendant of the Shen family.

Seeing that Feng Zaixing looked strange, Yuan Enzhentian worried that he might have misunderstood Yuan Enyehui, so he quickly said, "Since Yehui came here, she has often been invited to social events, many of which involve serious matters, and it is not easy to refuse them all: Shen Xing has met with Yehui quite a lot."

Feng Zaixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "Is the Shen family trying to curry favor with me, or are they trying to sabotage me?"

Yuan Enzhen said, "They certainly wouldn't dare to undermine you; they're just trying to befriend you."

"Whatever, Shen Xing doesn't seem to have much of a brain anyway, given his silly appearance."

Feng Zaixing shook his head slightly. He believed in open strategies and, more importantly, in the supremacy of strength. In terms of true strength, the Shen family could not compete with him at present.

The reason for not using drastic measures to forcefully take it down is that such a method would have significant side effects: it would be best to find genuine evidence first.

Feng Zaixing didn't know if he and some idiots in the Northern Navy Corps were on the same wavelength, but whatever their reasons for moving the arms reserves, it was a positive reason for him to strike hard against the Shen family.

"Xiaoye, we can't stay in this lousy Northern Navy Corps for now. Let's investigate how much corruption is going on inside."

When Yuan Enhui returned to his residence, he was surprised to find that his teacher had come from afar and that his words struck a chord with him.

"Does the teacher also think there's something wrong with the North Sea Fleet's equipment?"

Yuan Enhui smiled, but a cold mist rose in her bright eyes.

"It's not just a feeling, it's a certainty. It's as clear as day."

Feng Zaixing, his face contorted with resentment, told Yuan Enyehui about some evidence he had found in the armory, and the latter's expression quickly turned extremely ugly.

As a veteran who experienced the Star Luo War, she knew all too well the power of a large number of fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs.

-

Hundreds of fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells were stolen from one armory. Where in the Jeonbuk Naval Fleet's many arms storage facilities could there be a problem?

It's impossible to think about it too much!

Yuan Enzhentian loathed these reckless bastards and said angrily, "Your teacher traveled a long way to secretly come here for you, but he unexpectedly discovered the chaos here. He doesn't have a suitable reason to step in and clean things up directly, so you have to make the first move."

Yuan Enhui was overjoyed upon hearing the first half of the sentence, but became furious upon hearing the second half. Seeing his teacher's resolute expression, he patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely teach these bastards a lesson!"

Feng Zaixing nodded and said, "Don't say you did it on purpose. Just say that your officers accidentally discovered the problem while inspecting the armory, reported it to you, and after investigation, the result was the same. Then quickly confront the person in charge, make a move to alert them, and see how they react."

"I'm very curious about just how powerful these people have become. Shen Yue knows about it but doesn't do anything about it, which is damnably complicit; if she doesn't know, it just shows how incompetent she is as the commander of the North Sea Navy."

"By the way, you've been in the Northern Navy for a while now, you must have some trustworthy people under you, right? This matter requires absolute trust."

Yuan Enhui replied, "There is some influence, but the Shen family has a lot of prestige in the Northern Navy, and my position in the Northern Navy is actually a bit awkward—they might not dare to fight me."

"If we absolutely have to start from below, I'm afraid we'll have to send Xinglan with some people."

"Ye Xinglan—Very well, this sword has been hidden for many years, it's time to unsheathe it."

Feng Zaixing pictured Ye Xinglan's determined and resolute face in his mind and nodded slightly. There was no doubt that this stubborn kid was persistent.

Having settled the troublesome matter of the Northern Navy Legion, Feng Zaixing turned to inquire about Yuan Enhui's recent cultivation, discussed the arrangements for dealing with the Demon Dimension, and finally recounted his recent gains, all with a cheerful smile.

"I have wanted to settle accounts with those demons for a long time, and I am fully prepared mentally. Please rest assured, Master!"

Yuan Enhui's tone was firm as iron, and his face showed deep hatred and resentment.

After revealing her family's tragic past, she always felt a distance from the Titan family. Over the years, she gradually came to understand them, but her hatred for the Demon Realm only grew stronger. Her rapid increase in soul power was undoubtedly influenced by their influence.

Feng Zaixing nodded slightly, took out a drop of blazing, malevolent blood light, and instructed, "This is my own essence blood that I extracted on the way here; its surface is a deep, evil soul power, while its interior is a concentrated essence of my purest divine origin. Take it with you; it will protect your consciousness from being controlled, just in case."

"Teacher—" Yuan Enhui's heartstrings tightened, her pearly teeth pursed her lips, and her beautiful eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.

"This time, I'll use you as bait, so I naturally need a foolproof plan. Otherwise, wouldn't I become like Long Yeyue or Cai Yue'er from Shrek Academy?"

Feng Zaixing smiled and said, "Take it. If you have any questions about your cultivation recently, feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer them. As your teacher, I should play a role."

Yuan Enhui nodded gently, her gratitude beyond words. She felt that although this teacher was usually strict, he was never ambiguous about important matters, and it would be hard to find another like him in the world.

Yuan Enzhentian watched the scene of master and disciple getting along with a smile, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He remembered that his granddaughter was two years older than the teacher, and this incident caused quite a stir—

Two days later.

Yuan Enhui slammed a lawsuit on Shen Yue's desk, the commander of the Northern Navy, startling Shen Yue.

Shen Yue composed herself and smiled at the rising star of the Northern Navy Legion, who had recently made it into the top four of the Star Battle Network individual competition, asking, "What's wrong, our future lord? What made you so angry?"

Yuan Enhui's face was cold, and his voice was stiff as he said, "My subordinates told me that they found some problems with the weapons in the armory, and that they didn't match the accounts; I went with them to investigate, and sure enough, there was a problem!"

"Commander, there is probably no more serious problem in the army than this. I think the Northern Navy Legion must catch the big rats and villains as quickly as possible."

Shen Yue was shocked and almost jumped up from her seat, exclaiming, "Are you sure our legion has something like this?"

She lowered her gaze, her eyes lingering on several points in Yuan Enhui's complaint. The more she looked, the faster her heart beat and the paler her face became.

Intuition told her that although Yuan Enhui was suppressed by the rules in the Northern Navy and was very unhappy about it, she would not do anything wrong in this matter.

It's unlikely that she's the one crying wolf, since she has no connections in the Northern Navy. Despite being a newly arrived major general, she was assigned to the military headquarters as a staff officer. As the saying goes, "A staff officer without a superior position is like a fart that makes no sound."

Dressed in a simple yet powerful outfit, Ye Xinglan, wearing a colonel's uniform, said coldly, "I went to one of the armories to check and retrieved the surveillance footage. The footage from the last three days didn't show any problems there. The footage from before that was intermittently taken down for various reasons."

Yuan Enhui said, "Commander, these rats are very bold and pose a great threat; I think the Northern Navy Legion must conduct a comprehensive self-examination, and the first thing to do is to remove the manager in charge of the armory—"

"Calm down first, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."

Shen Yue knew that the woman in front of her was a former FBI agent and an expert in this area, so she couldn't let her lead her way.

After all—she genuinely didn't know who was involved behind this. If Yuanen Yehui were to uncover something more, it would be very difficult to clean up the mess.

Intuition told him that although some of the old folks in the family had lived for a long time, with their barren minds and greedy nature, they might very well do something stupid like being the mastermind behind the scenes and reselling arms.

I may be implicated by them right now, but I still have to keep the impact of this matter under control.

Because no matter what, making this matter public would be a blow to her prestige as the legion commander and to the prestige of the Shen family.

Yuan Enye said with a serious expression, "Commander, I would like to know your contingency plan for handling this matter. I, Yuan Enye, am not very talented, but I have participated in the investigation of similar incidents before, and perhaps I can offer some suggestions."

Shen Yue's lips twitched; those words were practically a threat.

If I don't handle the case impartially, you'll bring up the FBI and the big shot behind you to pressure me, right?

No matter how powerful that person is, he is in the Blood God Legion, not in the Eight Great Legions. Our Northern Navy Legion is far away and high up. How could he possibly reach here?

But some persuasion was still necessary. Shen Yue tried her best to calm down the two menacing ladies, and the other major general staff officers in the conference room also spoke up to smooth things over.

After seeing Yuan Enhui and Ye Xinglan off, Shen Yue's face turned extremely cold. She slammed her hands on the table with a loud bang, gritting her teeth as she said, "Investigate! Get the internal surveillance footage and find out which bastards are trying to harm me! Those old fogies are always talking about family interests and making us younger generation sacrifice ourselves. I hope they're not the ones who did this to cut off their own escape route!"

That damned bastard actually let her cover for them, it's absolutely despicable!
