Chapter 2389 - 2392: The Beautiful Assassin Trembles Within but Pretends to Be Calm

Seeing Yu Wenzi's astonished eyes and the helplessness almost bordering on despair on her exquisite face, Shen Qiang's smile grew even brighter.

"Yu Wenzi, your expression doesn't look quite right."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Yu Wenzi snapped back to reality instantly and couldn't help but feign shock as she spoke with a dry and trembling voice: "It's nothing, I'm just... stunned by the beauty of the Dragon Palace."

In response, Shen Qiang smiled, his eyes bending into crescents, while Jinli Qianning was particularly delighted and excitedly walked over, pulling Yu Wenzi along and said: "Do you like it here? I'll take you for a proper tour later, maybe you'll have a burst of inspiration and write even more wonderful music."

Yu Wenzi was startled, then gave a dry chuckle, saying: "Sure, sure."

Meanwhile, as they communicated, Shen Qiang's phone suddenly rang.

Just a glance and Shen Qiang immediately frowned, then said: "Qian Ning, take Ye Guyun and Yu Wenzi out for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ning gave an enchanting smile, agreed, and took Yu Wenzi and Ye Guyun out of the main hall.

Once they left, Shen Qiang directly accepted the invitation to the phone conference, then immediately saw on his phone screen, a conference room.

The faces of many military personnel dressed in Dragon Group senior officer uniforms were solemn, the atmosphere heavy enough that just one look at Shen Qiang made him tense up involuntarily.

Not only that.

What surprised Shen Qiang even more was that the Dragon Group War God was sitting in the main seat in the conference room.

"Hello, Teacher!" Shen Qiang had to show the necessary respect.

The Dragon Group War God frowned and said: "No need for formalities, this phone conference is very important, you should just listen in."

"Alright," Shen Qiang replied.

Immediately, through the screen, Shen Qiang clearly saw a Colonel, who looked about forty, stand up and continue speaking with particular solemnity: "Inside that box are the core components of the Particle Cannon prototype, moreover, all related schematics and data are in that box."

"The seawater erosion will destroy them," a Major General interjected.

The Colonel took a deep breath and said: "Apologies, General, the inner box containing the core components and schematic data, the box used is not only waterproof and vacuum-sealed but also impact resistant, with the highest bulletproof rating, even if it falls into the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea, it will definitely not be damaged at all."

"Is there any other way?" a Vice Admiral asked coldly.

The Colonel said in a deep voice: "We've tried everything, the submarine couldn't approach to search, our Dragon Group members were already warned by the Sea Demons in that maritime area when they got close, in the deep sea, we cannot compete with them because if they destroy our people's oxygen masks, our people have no choice but death."

Another Vice Admiral with a square face said deeply: "Talk to those Sea Demons."

"They refused," the Colonel said.

A Vice Admiral snorted angrily and said: "With so many people in the Sea Border Department, so much budget, how can such issues not be handled?"

The Colonel said in a deep voice: "General, please calm down, in fact, we've tried our best, it's far from Huaxia's sea border, it's the high seas, moreover, we have reason to believe that the sinking of that ship is directly related to those Great Sea Demons."

Another Vice Admiral narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said deeply: "The Sea Demons hijack ships and goods for wealth, pay them to redeem the items."

"We tried," the Colonel said, "they refuse to admit their involvement with the sunken ship incident because once they admit it, they'll be hunted down by righteous cultivators."

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room fell into silence.

"Shen Qiang, share your thoughts," the Dragon Group War God, who was hosting the meeting, said calmly.

Shen Qiang laughed upon hearing this.

"Then just give up. Although I don't know how valuable that thing is, I know that relevant units must have retained related data and information, probably not just one backup, so even if we don't find it, there won't be any loss."

Upon hearing these words, many officers in the conference room frowned and looked at Shen Qiang with disdain on their faces.

This situation didn't surprise Shen Qiang.

If they really wanted to give up, the Dragon Group wouldn't be so serious.

But knowing something is one thing, doing something is another.

Now, the Dragon Group War God wants to hear Shen Qiang's opinion, so Shen Qiang will speak honestly.

After all, Shen Qiang is young, but not foolish!

Shen Qiang isn't afraid of difficulties, and he has the awareness to shed blood for the country and the people, but Shen Qiang's actions must have proper justification!

Now that these officers are discussing this matter, if Shen Qiang bravely volunteers to solve it and succeeds, others will think he loves to show off. If problems arise, taunting voices will be overwhelming, saying Shen Qiang overestimated himself lightly, and if things go wrong, a big black pot will be firmly placed on Shen Qiang's head.

So Shen Qiang definitely won't act rashly like a foolish boy, rushing in without proper consideration.

Shen Qiang's response seemed to satisfy the Dragon Group War God greatly.

"Indeed, there are backups, not just one as you said, but that box contains the core components of the prototype and related schematics and data. Once certain forces obtain it, they can quickly replicate it, leading to temporary conflicts, so what you should be considering is not whether to give up, but if there's a way to get that box back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang glanced at the Sea Demon King sitting quietly under the Dragon Throne and Uncle Gui, and said: "I'm not very familiar with the situation there, but I know that the Great Sea Demon stationed there is Ying Xiu, one of the five Demon Kings under the Dragon Emperor. He has many strong generals under him, and the success rate of a direct assault is at most fifty percent."

Seeing the officers present showing a provocative look, Shen Qiang coldly added: "If they've already realized the value of that box, then the success probability for a direct assault is zero."

'

Instantly, everyone's expressions turned even more serious.

The Dragon Group War God hesitated for a moment and said: "What if it's to destroy that box?"

Shen Qiang replied: "The success rate is about the same, the key depends on whether the opponent realizes the importance of that box. If they recognize that the contents are very important, imagining getting it back without paying any price is unrealistic fantasy."

Upon hearing this, the conference room on the other end of the phone fell into silence.

'

After a long time, the Dragon Group War God sighed and said: "Now the situation is clear to everyone, the core components and schematics of the Particle Cannon absolutely cannot be exposed, because not everyone loves peace like Huaxia. Once that box falls into the hands of those with ulterior motives, there will be inevitable devastation, so now, everyone should express their stance."
