Chapter 182 The Storm is Coming

The match between Qingjun and Longyuan came to an end. Although almost all the league spectators in the empire were full of regret and reluctance about Longyuan's ending, things had come to this point, and the final finals was a showdown between Moye and Qingjun.

After a good rest, Gu Tingzhi came to the Yuheng Military Base. He was originally going to participate in the actual mecha training, but he was brought to meet someone who was completely unexpected.

The principal of Longyuan, Shen Shouli's grandfather, Shen Ruoshui, General Shen.

He is in his sixties and has a very health-conscious hobby. When he has nothing to do, he likes to plant flowers. He also likes to call himself an old man, but when you see his appearance for the first time, you will just think that he is a handsome man in his 30s or 40s.

Shen Shouli's light brown eyes were taken from General Shen.

But after watching for two more seconds, the murderous aura on Shen Ruoshui's body began to seep out, startling everyone standing in front of him. When they were swept by his gaze, it was as if a sharp dagger had scraped across their skin.

Gu Tingzhi had only seen this renowned principal at Longyuan's opening ceremony. He seldom showed up in Longyuan often, but every student in Longyuan was proud to be a disciple of General Shen.

"Principal..." Gu Tingzhi was unusually nervous and subconsciously wanted to apologize and reflect on what he had done wrong in the infected area, Saitu.

Admiral Shen waved his hand, interrupting his reflection.

"Needless to say, you did the right thing." On the way from the capital star to Yuheng, he happened to watch the duel between Qingjun and Longyuan.

Judging from the standards of a mature commander, Gu Tingzhi's approach was not perfect, and could even be said to be a bit impulsive.

But in Shen Ruoshui's eyes, these imperfections and impulsiveness are normal.

After all, Gu Tingzhi is just a student. In the relatively 150-year life of an interstellar person, what he has experienced at the age of eighteen is really too little. Although he can be confirmed as an adult physically, he is still far from it psychologically.

At the same age, Shen Ruoshui himself was the same, upright, passionate, and unwilling to see any of his companions suffer. In his eyes, these were not shortcomings, but the necessary path to growth.

Gu Tingzhi felt relieved. After the game, when he had fully rested, he also saw some debates about himself on the forum.

Many netizens felt sorry for him, and many people also believed that Gu Tingzhi’s personality was really not suitable for being a commander, because in this game, Gu Tingzhi lost not to Jia Xianglan, but to his own moral bottom line.

In the past, when Gu Tingzhi saw these remarks, his heart would always sound the alarm, and he would begin to seriously reflect on his actions and think about how to correct his mistakes in the future. But this time, he was able to read it calmly and did not regret his actions at all.

Gu Tingzhi vaguely felt that he seemed to have grown up.

However, when facing Principal Shen Ruoshui, after all, he lost the game, so he subconsciously thought that General Shen was here to call him to account, and he wanted to deny himself right from the start.

As a result, General Shen actually said that he was right.

"As long as you don't have any psychological problems, it's fine." Shen Ruoshui heard last time that Lieutenant General Jia Deli personally went to the scene to comfort the girls of Cimei. He thought that as the principal of Longyuan, he naturally had to care about the students of Longyuan.

Because of this incident, as soon as I arrived at the Yuheng Military Base, I heard that Gu Tingzhi had arrived and I called him over directly.

Unfortunately, General Shen was not very good at comforting others. He said a few dry words of encouragement, and Gu Tingzhi left with a confused look on his face.

He returned to the mecha training ground of Yuheng Military Base, and was just lowering his head to think about whether General Shen had a hidden meaning in his words, when he turned around and saw Shen Shouli.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Shouli gave him a puzzled look in return.

To be honest, General Shen has a cheerful personality, which is quite different from Shen Shouli.

Facing Gu Tingzhi's lingering gaze, Shen Shouli hesitated for a moment and patted Gu Tingzhi's shoulder: "Don't worry, we will win the finals."

After saying this, he left, wiping his hands with a handkerchief as he walked.

He was worrying too much. This sudden, dry concern was exactly the same as General Shen's.

The second person General Shen called was his grandson.

When Shen Shouli walked in, their eyes met, and for a moment the air was filled with gunpowder.

"Did you dig up my Pure White Language?" Admiral Shen spoke first. He was heartbroken when he recalled that when he went to the garden before, he saw that the place where the beautiful white rose had grown had turned into a hole. How could he, Shen Ruoshui, have such a grandson?

“Yes.” Shen Shouli admitted his mistake quickly, but in an arrogant manner, “I planted it in my room.”

"How dare you say that! Taking something without asking is stealing, you know that?" Admiral Shen slammed the table. If anyone else had seen this, they would have knelt down and confessed their guilt on the spot.

Shen Shouli was used to it.

"But," General Shen changed the subject, "if you had given it to Xu Lingqu earlier, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

Shen Shouli paused: “How do you know?”

"The whole world will know about this." Admiral Shen complained, "Have you ever seen the video of your own league games? Do you know how worthless you are in the league?"

The first few matches were okay, but in the match between Moye and Dolanston, anyone could see that Shen Shouli liked Xu Lingqu.

“Xu Lingqu doesn’t know.” Shen Shouli was confused.

General Shen: ...

"It's normal that she doesn't know."

Shen Ruoshui saw all of Xu Lingqu's performance, and he was ready to directly ask the military to snatch her away after she joined the military.

The birth of the idea of ​​robbing people had nothing to do with his unlucky grandson Shen Shouli, but was entirely due to the ability displayed by this little girl.

Admiral Shen had a premonition that perhaps the record of the youngest admiral in the empire would be broken by her, and by then Shen Shouli would be completely marrying above his station.

It is very normal for someone as capable as Xu Lingqu to be insensitive to emotions, and it is completely fine that she doesn't know.

The problem is his unlucky grandson. He dug up his pure white words but he didn't even make a move to express his feelings. It's outrageous!

Shen Shouli also knew that it was his fault, so he humbly accepted his grandfather's blame and changed the subject with an attitude of not intending to repent: "Why did you come to Yuheng Star all this time?"

"Watch your game." Shen Ruoshui stretched, "and catch up with others."

"Is there anyone here who can reminisce with you?" Shen Shouli knew in his heart that if General Shen just came to watch his game, he would not come in person. He had more important things to do.

Shen Ruoshui sneered: "Of course there is, but I will definitely not tell you unless you return the Pure White Language to me or give it away."

Shen Shouli turned and left: “It just so happens that I don’t want to pry into the secrets of the empire.”

Admiral Shen looked at Shen Shouli's behavior of running away to avoid the topic with disdain, but this was completely within his expectations.

He had originally come to seek justice for his Pure White Language. He knew Shen Shouli too well. This brat had always been like nothing could get into his heart.

It was the first time that General Shen saw him wanting to carefully protect a relationship.

After his unlucky grandson left, the man in black and red uniform came to the office of the highest commander of the Yuheng Military Base again.

The man was called Gu Ying, Ares, a first-level patrol officer, and Peregrine Falcon followed behind him. They both bowed to Admiral Shen.

"Thank you for coming here." Gu Ying bowed solemnly again to thank General Shen.

Admiral Shen waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, I should do this."

He sighed and looked at the obsidian table in front of him.

According to Ares's intelligence, it was at this location, two months ago, that Xu Chengbi, who was once his old subordinate, used an addictive substance made from blue crow fruit.

The evidence of treason was irrefutable. Shen Ruoshui went to the palace, and His Majesty Andrew personally presented him with the evidence of Xu Chengbi's crimes.

Shen Ruoshui's feelings were still very complicated.

When Xu Chengbi was working under him, he could feel that although this person was a little clever, he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits and was very impetuous.

Shen Ruoshui had once given him serious guidance, hoping that he would use his little cleverness in the right way. At that time, Xu Chengbi had sincerely thanked him, and with tears in his eyes, he told Shen Ruoshui that Shen Ruoshui was his only teacher in this life.

During the years of collusion with the Federation, he still pretended to be decent. Even after being promoted to general, he still had great respect and admiration for Shen Ruoshui.

That's why Shen Ruoshui asked Shen Shouli to go to the Xu family at that time. Everyone thought that the two families had a good relationship.

His Majesty Andrew originally planned for Lieutenant General Jiadeli, Lieutenant General Victoria and General Wan to join forces to capture Xu Chengbi on Yuheng Star. General Shen volunteered and used the excuse of watching Shen Shouli's competition, but in fact he came to personally end his former subordinates.

With him here, the plan will be much more stable than before. Gu Ying, who is responsible for closing the net on Yuheng Star, is naturally very happy.

To uproot an imperial general, too many people are involved. Ares worked non-stop for a month to check out the list of suspicious people. When he turned them into paper lists and piled them up, the list was taller than a person.

Moreover, Xu Chengbi seemed to be wary of the actions of the Capital Star and became much more cautious in many things, which made it more difficult for Ares to collect evidence.

Fortunately, General Xu firmly believed that his adopted daughter Xu Lingqu had become addicted to drugs, and as Xu Lingqu showed one supernova-like performance after another, he could no longer hold back.

Xu Chengbi had already planned his next trip two days ago to watch the league's mecha arena. The day after the mecha arena was the first day that Xu Lingqu's addiction began to take hold in his eyes.

He wanted to personally tame his adopted daughter, a genius who had emerged out of nowhere and was unruly.

As for Chen Ruoshui, he has to personally clean up the mess by dealing with his old subordinates who have beastly hearts in human form.
