Chapter 186 Admiral Beta is the romantic male partner (2)
"According to intelligence, it was just an ordinary Zerg invasion, but when we were fighting that day, I saw a Zerg general. If they hadn't retreated suddenly, we would have suffered heavy losses this time."
Lin Shen narrated the story calmly, and the three of them fell silent.
Ren Ling tugged at Lin Shen's clothes and asked worriedly, "Is it difficult to deal with?"
Lin Shen rolled his eyes at him.
In fact, Crown Prince Ren Ling just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Shen, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over.
The old emperor glanced at his son and muttered to himself: "This is my son, this is my son..." He was already accustomed to Ren Ling's character.
Ever since he went to the military academy and met Lin Shen, he has been like a pug, sticking around others. Even if they ignore him, he is still happy.
At this time, Qiao Jili tapped his fingers on the table twice, glanced between Lin Shen and Ren Ling, and suddenly asked, "Is there a traitor?"
Although his voice was low, it instantly made the atmosphere tense.
Lin Shen raised his eyes to look at Qiao Jili, and their eyes met in the air.
Lin Shen did not look away, but answered directly: "I'm afraid it's not a traitor. Commander Qiao, do you still remember the battle many years ago?"
As soon as Lin Shen finished speaking, everyone fell silent and the atmosphere became depressing.
Everyone present remembered the battle many years ago, when Lin Shen was still in military school and had not yet become a general.
The admiral at that time was a female Alpha named Chu Qingqian. She had very strong strength and leadership ability, had never been defeated, and was the head of the Chu family.
The Chu family is a noble family of the Federation and has been extremely noble throughout the generations.
Ever since the Chu couple died in the battle against the Zerg, Chu Qingqian became the head of the family and inherited the honorable position of the Chu family.
She entered the military academy and became a general, but a shocking incident occurred during a battle three years ago.
Chu Qingqian, who was normal on weekdays, suddenly grew wings and his eyes turned into vertical pupils, which are obvious characteristics of the Zerg.
However, Chu Qingqian is a member of the Chu family who grew up in the Federation. How could he suddenly become a member of the Zerg?
Chu Qingqian's abnormal behavior made it impossible for the soldiers to react in time. Countless people were killed and wounded in that battle, and Chu Qingqian disappeared without a trace.
The Chu family was implicated in this incident, but fortunately, His Majesty was merciful, and Chu Qingqian's only brother was not punished.
The emperor has investigated this matter again and again. There is naturally no problem with the Chu family. This can only mean that the Zerg have the ability to control or parasitize human bodies. After all, they are insects, right? So the possibility of parasitism is the greatest.
This was a big event, and after that, the emperor ordered a major purge of the army and discovered several people with strange behavior.
Some are just ordinary soldiers, and some are cronies of high-ranking officials, but fortunately, the Zerg have low IQs, so it is still a little difficult for them to disguise themselves as humans.
But the current situation tells them that the Zerg have evolved, their IQ has improved, and they can pass the military inspection.
Qiao Jili was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said the name: "Chu Qingqian!" There was a hint of unbelievable grief in his voice.
Lin Shen nodded, confirming Qiao Jili's guess.
Ren Lin and his old father looked at each other, both of their eyes were filled with seriousness and deep thought.
This topic obviously touches on a sensitive and complicated past.
Lin Shen suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "Is there anyone else in the Chu family?" There was a hint of inquiry in his tone.
The old emperor nodded and replied, "Chu Qingqian has a younger brother named Chu Xu, who has just entered the military academy."
When mentioning Chu Xu, the old emperor sighed deeply.
He has always had his eyes on the Chu family. Chu Qingqian's father grew up with him and they had a very good relationship. He later died on the battlefield.
At that time, Chu Xu was still young, and Chu Qingqian took on the role of a father, which he valued very much. But when this kind of thing happened later, he didn't know what to do.
He naturally believed in Chu Qingqian, who was a good child, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only protect Chu Xu to the best of his ability.
Lin Shen also nodded. He recalled a scene he saw when he went to the military academy yesterday. A group of Alphas were competing. Among them, the ability of a young man left a good impression on him. That person was called Chu Xu.
Ren Ling looked at Lin Shen, as if he wanted to say something. He said, "Why, you suspect Chu..."
However, before Ren Ling could finish, Lin Shen turned around to stop him and said firmly, "No, don't talk nonsense."
Ren Ling immediately shut up, looked at Lin Shen obediently, and said no more.
Qiao Jili looked away, as if thinking about something, and then he asked, "Do you want to ask Chu Qingqian's brother?"
His voice was flat, but Ren Ling could sense his jealousy towards her. Hehe, how could she not be jealous to death of him?
Lin Shen and Qiao Jili looked at each other tacitly. There was no need for much words between the two of them, as they could understand each other's intentions.
Ren Ling frowned, glanced at the two of them, jealousy in his eyes almost overflowing.
What were they thinking? How could they be so in sync? This feeling made him a little irritated.
He muttered softly, "It's so annoying." Although his voice was small, it revealed his dissatisfaction.
The old emperor looked away, his face expressionless, but he could sense our Majesty's speechlessness.
I can only tell myself again and again that this is my own son and I cannot hit him.
Lin Shen sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"I'm going to find Chu Xu tomorrow. I want to ask about his sister's situation."
These words seemed to open a door to the past, allowing everyone present to sense the coming storm.
Qiao Jili nodded when he heard this. His eyes were firm and he said calmly, "I'll go too."
There was no hesitation in his decision, and it was obvious that he cared about the matter as much as he did.
Ren Ling originally wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Qiao Jili. He glared at Qiao Jili with dissatisfaction.
But he soon turned to Lin Shen with a smile and said, "Then I'll go too."
His expression changed so quickly that the old emperor couldn't help but sigh that his son's mood was so changeable that he was even more moody than himself.
The old emperor looked at his troublesome son, stroked his beard gently, and reminded him: "Ling'er, didn't your mother ask you to accompany her tomorrow?"
There was a hint of silence in his tone.
Ren Ling frowned, obviously unhappy with his father's reminder, but he still insisted on his decision.
"Please help me tell my mother that I have something important to do."
There was an unquestionable firmness in his tone, as if this matter was more important than accompanying his mother.
The old emperor was so angry that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted. He cursed in his heart: You stupid son, your mind is full of Lin Shen.
Despite this, the old emperor finally nodded helplessly and no longer cared about Ren Ling's decision.
Seeing this, Lin Shen also nodded to show his agreement. He said, "See you tomorrow then."
Qiao Jili and Ren Ling also nodded, indicating that they understood.
Afterwards, Lin Shen and Qiao Jili said goodbye to the old emperor, who just waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Lin Shen said goodbye to Ren Ling and Qiao Jili who had always wanted to see him off, and returned home.
