The Impossible Sequel to Genshin Impact

Chapter 205 Settlement of Accounts

After hearing what Li Chen said, Colonel Dickel's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a subtle doubt flashed across his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Are you sure, Li Chen? You know, there may be omissions in this bill, or it may not have been updated in time."

At this moment, Ye Xingchen, who had been standing aside and listening to their conversation quietly, suddenly broke the silence and said slowly: "Everyone, I wonder if there is a possibility that the other party obtained this new weapon through other channels? After all, in such a complex and changeable situation, we must not easily rule out this possibility." Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and her tone was gentle but firm. Although it seemed calm, every word seemed to carry a heavy weight and hit the hearts of everyone present, like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly causing ripples and bringing everyone a new direction and angle of thinking.

After hearing what Ye Xingchen said, Colonel Dickel was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, agreeing: "Well, Ye Xingchen is right, it is indeed possible. In this case..." He paused for a moment, turned his gaze to Ye Xingchen, and then ordered, "Ye Xingchen, then this matter will be left to you to investigate. You must check carefully to see if there are other channels to obtain new weapons such as YG-83. Remember, don't miss any clues!"

After receiving the order, Ye Xingchen saluted Colonel Dickel without hesitation with a standard military salute. His movements were clean and neat, then he quickly turned around and left the room, leaving behind only a resolute and upright back.

However, Li Chen's face was still full of doubts and confusion, his brows were tightly twisted into a "川" shape, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Colonel, if it is true as Ye Xingchen said, this new weapon was obtained from other channels, then why didn't the other party clearly indicate the source on the bill, and even didn't inform us? Isn't there some unknown secret hidden in this?"

Facing the question raised by Li Chen, Colonel Dickel also frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he raised his head and answered solemnly: "For now, everything is just speculation, and it is difficult to jump to conclusions. But as you worry, this matter is indeed strange and confusing. But the more so, the more we must remain calm and vigilant and find out the truth as soon as possible."

Ye Ying stood aside, frowning slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly said, "Colonel, in my opinion, we might as well start with the investigation of those forces that have had close contact with the Fourth Military Region recently. Maybe we can find some clues and uncover the truth of the matter."

After hearing this, Colonel Dickel turned his gaze to Ye Ying and nodded in agreement: "Well, your idea is good. Then, let you and Li Chen handle this matter. Remember, you must investigate carefully and don't miss any details."

After receiving the order, Ye Ying and Li Chen did not delay at all and immediately started the investigation. They worked tirelessly to run between various forces, visited relevant personnel one by one, and carefully checked various transaction records. Everywhere they went, they asked about the relevant situation in detail, trying to piece together the clues behind the incident.

At this critical moment, Colonel Dickel's majestic voice sounded again, and he issued a new order: "As for Ye Xingchen and Lin Yue, you two are responsible for carefully calculating the accounts of the Perfect Fourth Military Region." As soon as the words fell, it caused an uproar like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.

Lin Yue's beautiful big eyes were wide open, as if her eyeballs were about to fall out, and her mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a whole egg in. Her originally delicate face was now filled with astonishment and fear.

At this moment, she suddenly let out a sharp and piercing scream, so loud that it seemed to pierce the sky. "What? I have never been to school!" This cry was like thunder from the ground, exploding in the air. Before she finished speaking, she took action with lightning speed, like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on.

Her slender hands tightly grasped the heavy, cold TN-98 heavy machine gun. Its weight was almost unbearable for ordinary people, but in her hands it was like a light stick, and she wielded it vigorously. Then, she turned around suddenly, with a clean and neat movement without any drag. In an instant, she rushed out like an arrow from a bow with an indomitable momentum.

In just a blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a cloud of dust flying in the air that took a long time to dissipate.

You know, Lin Yue grew up struggling to survive in the forgotten Fourth District of Yuhui City. In such a harsh environment full of poverty, violence and chaos, even basic survival has become an unattainable luxury, so how can she receive a formal and good education? For a task like accounting that requires a certain amount of knowledge to complete, it is like climbing a towering mountain for her, which is simply a foolish dream.

At the same time, Ye Xingchen, who was standing nearby, also hurriedly shouted, "Oh no, no, I'm bad at math!" However, everyone present knew clearly that this was just an excuse she made up. After all, as a child who grew up in the seventh human base on Naramy Star, how could she not have learned even the most basic arithmetic? However, facing the difficult task in front of her, she subconsciously wanted to escape.

As Ye Xingchen was talking, she carefully peeked at Colonel Dickel's expression. However, what made her a little frustrated was that Colonel Dickel was like a sculpture, expressionless and unmoved, his cold eyes still staring straight at her, as if he could see through all her thoughts.

"Ye Xingchen, stop making excuses! I know very well that your academic performance has always been excellent." Colonel Dickel's voice came out coldly, leaving no room for negotiation. Hearing this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but bite his lips tightly, secretly complaining in his heart.

At this tense moment, suddenly, a thin boy slowly walked out from a corner of the room. He lowered his head, and his steps seemed a little hesitant and timid. He seemed to have gathered up the courage to speak: "Colonel, please allow me to help them calculate these accounts. I am not bad at math, and... and I have always respected Sister Ye Xingchen." This sudden request immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone turned their heads and looked at this usually unknown boy curiously. No one thought that at such a critical moment, he would bravely stand up to help Ye Xingchen out.
