The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Chapter 540 Shocking Conspiracy

Feng Mengduo suddenly came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and quickly operated on the light screen, but the screen showed nothing unusual.

"There's no problem here. Is the line connection disconnected?" she said with sweat on her forehead.

Feng Mengduo's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and the familiar feeling of blood rushing to her eardrums came over her again. She had to hold on to the mental control collar around her neck and take deep breaths to calm her surging anger.

Atlas said irritably, "Son, go find Jon and ask him to send someone to repair the connection."

Yin Yanhan didn't say anything and didn't move.

Atlas turned around and was about to urge him, but was stared at by Yin Yanhan's eyes as deep as a pool. That look made his heart skip a beat.

It felt like being stared at by some large ferocious beast in the mountains.

This son is so scheming, he's really unlikable!

Before he exploded, Yin Yanhan finally nodded, turned around and walked out of the small lounge.

On the podium, although Feng Jingyi paused in surprise for only three seconds, it was enough for everyone present to realize that something was wrong.

The atmosphere in the room was a little agitated. Even though no one was whispering yet, it was a very bad sign, indicating that the speaker was losing control of the situation.

Feng Jingyi was used to attending such occasions. He keenly sensed something was wrong and quickly adjusted his mindset. He cleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice, "The death of Commander Yang is a great loss to our army and country, but such a loss should not have happened."

"At first, like everyone else, I believed the investigation report issued by the Military Intelligence Department headed by He Shifeng, until he met with his staff in a private setting."

"At that time, He Shifeng had already taken over the post of the highest commander of the military. When talking about Commander Yang's misfortune, he said this: Commander Yang's death is regrettable, but it also provides the possibility of adjusting the command power."

"This sentence was later passed to my ears by chance, and I was shocked to find that this beloved four-star general, the successor that Commander Yang valued most during his lifetime, could have such a cold-blooded and ruthless side."

"Or maybe this is his true self."

"He Shifeng's duplicity made me doubt the investigation report given by the Military Intelligence Department. In order to give Commander Yang justice, I secretly restarted the investigation into the cause of Commander Yang's death."

"It was this investigation that not only revealed the truth about Commander Yang's murder, but also exposed the shocking conspiracy of He Shifeng, Wen Guangyu, and the intricate interest groups behind them involving the military, politics, business, and academia. It also brought me personal disaster."

Feng Jingyi paused again and looked around the audience.

He looked calm and composed, but in fact sweat had soaked the shirt under his suit.

If the projection of the light curtain is not repaired, the persuasiveness of his subsequent accusations will be greatly reduced. Whether he can turn the tide depends on this one move. Why would the well-debugged equipment suddenly malfunction? Is it possible that even God is no longer helping him?

Yin Yanhan strode into the conference room on the second floor.

Ai Wanxin saw him coming and asked curiously, "Brother Han, why are you here?"

"The line connection is down," he said briefly.

Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Atlas is really good at ordering people around. He recovered immediately."

Then he said to Jon, who was holding a smaller version of the light screen, "Connect him, but don't show Commander Yang's part."

Xue Muqing opened his bloodshot eyes and cast a complicated gaze on Ai Wanxin's profile.

Just now when Wen Guangyu's video progress bar was about to reach the bottom, a preview of the next video appeared on the right side of the control screen.

Jon, who had been paying attention to the control screen, quickly showed it to Ai Wanxin. Without any hesitation, she asked Jon to cut off the connection between the control room and the light curtain.

Even though Ai Wanxin deliberately blocked Xue Muqing's sight, they were standing very close, and Xue Muqing still saw the video at a glance.

At that moment, Xue Muqing's mind went blank, and half of his soul seemed to have flown away from his incomplete body, coldly examining the most indelible fragments of his memory.

There were many moments in his life when he felt that human evil surpassed that of any other creature in the world.

When he was a child, his classmates called him a monster because of his heterochromia, when he asked the teacher for help but was pushed away with disgust, when he was blocked by the thugs from the upper grades and threatened to dig out his eyes, when he was successfully admitted to the Naval Academy with the recommendation of the principal, but was isolated by his classmates and they made things difficult for him during training.

Later, when he served in the navy and participated in the anti-terrorism operations in the Black Moon Peninsula, he stopped the local army from carrying out ethnic cleansing against the indigenous people in the Barren Island, and he eliminated pirates and cracked down on transnational human trafficking crimes in Plague Port.

He has seen too many inhumane thugs killing their own kind, too many dirty souls who would sell out anything to achieve their goals, and he knows how thrilling and bloody the struggle for power is.

Xue Muqing knew that since Ai Wanxin had made Feng Jingyi issue a declaration of exile, she must have made complete preparations. She could just do nothing and let them perform. The bloodier and more shocking the evidence was, the greater the backlash would be when their lies were exposed.

What he didn't expect was that Ai Wanxin would risk being exposed and choose to cut off the video connection in order to protect Yang Chongzhang's body from being seen by all those eyes.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why the sentinels followed her.

Jon reconnected the line between the control room and the light curtain, and Wen Guangyu, who had been frozen on the giant light curtain for a long time, finally disappeared.

The screen went dark for a moment, and when it lit up again, a face with deep contours, bright eyes, and a firm and calm gaze appeared in front of everyone.

Caesar, who had been sitting idly, suddenly sat up straight. He looked up and down at the face on the screen that was hard to look away from, and thought with his hands covering his chest: Isn't this me, the king of the Silver Empire and other territories and dependencies, the defender of the state religion, the queen that Caesar VI has never met?

"who is this?"

"She's so young, whose daughter is she?"

“Why put her picture?”

There was quite a commotion in the conference hall. Feng Jingyi saw Ai Wanxin's face on the giant screen through the reflection of the glass of the second-floor conference room and knew that the equipment had finally been repaired.

He suppressed his deep hatred, raised his voice, and suppressed the discussion of the crowd. He continued, "All of this should be blamed on the interest group behind He Shifeng and Wen Guangyu. They carried out the brutal murder of Commander Yang and committed a heinous crime. However, they wanted to deceive the world with lies and deception, and put all the sins she committed on me."

"To satisfy her extremely inflated power ambitions, she has created countless tragedies in mainland my country and even around the world, trampling on fairness and freedom, the rule of law and constitutionalism in modern society, attempting to use the collapse of the apocalyptic order to realize her brutal dictatorship and bring all the benefits of the world to herself alone. She is a national pest - Ai Wanxin!"
