Chapter 2956 - 2957: Shifting Calamity Eastward

Chapter 2956: Chapter 2957: Shifting Calamity Eastward

Wei Qingfeng’s face turned pale.

He was well aware of this second young lady’s temperament, knowing she always did what she said.

If his answer today could not satisfy her, she could really take him to test the weapon’s power.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to briefly introduce this second young lady.

Her name is Yang Mufeng, which sounds like a man’s name.

Her character also matches this name, being extremely resolute and decisive.

But within the Firearms Society, no one dared to provoke her. This is not only because her brother is one of the founders of the Firearms Society but also because Yang Mufeng is in charge of the crucial supply of weapons and ammunition for the entire society.

In other words, without Yang Mufeng’s approval, you can’t even get a bullet.

Let alone go out on a mission.

Yet, no one dares to complain.

Because aside from managing the supply of weapons and ammunition, Yang Mufeng has a more important task, which is developing new weapons.

The importance of this task for the Firearms Society, which relies on mechanical weapons to establish its success, goes without saying.

And after ascending to this position, Yang Mufeng did not disappoint others’ expectations, accomplishing remarkable achievements in just a few years.

The mecha on Meng Yi and the drone swarm for Ying Gu were actually her creations.

Moreover, she has made notable contributions not only in mechanical weapons but also in biotechnology.

She is especially adept at gene tuning, thus producing affordable and high-quality cloned warriors.

The sniper team borrowed by Wei Qingfeng was indeed her proud creation.

Who would have expected that after a mission, the experimental subjects painstakingly made were all destroyed?

Yang Mufeng couldn’t help but feel angry.

So she sat in the chair, her eyes coldly fixed on Wei Qingfeng opposite, waiting for the moment when he could not respond.

Just then, Wei Qingfeng made up his mind, slowly exhaled a breath.

"Second young lady, to be honest, the sniper team you lent me has been completely annihilated!"

Yang Mufeng slightly raised an eyebrow.

She was not surprised by the result at all since they were products of gene engineering, with chips embedded at birth, so she knew it as soon as they were eliminated.

Seeing Yang Mufeng not speaking, Wei Qingfeng knew she was waiting for his explanation, so he smiled bitterly and continued.

"But second young lady, I assure you, this is not the outcome I wanted. It all stems from an unexpected interference!"

"Oh? Unexpected interference? What kind of interference?" Yang Mufeng finally spoke.

Wei Qingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as the second young lady spoke, it meant there was still room for maneuver.

The fear was her not saying a word.

"Precisely, unexpected interference. Initially, when I borrowed the sniper team from you, it was just to be prepared, since under normal circumstances, the young master of the Wu Family couldn’t even get past Meng Yi!"

"But unexpectedly, as we were nearing success, a passing young expert disrupted the entire plan!"

"A young expert?" Yang Mufeng suddenly showed interest.

"Yes!"

"Explain in detail!"

Wei Qingfeng dared not be negligent, hurriedly recounting the entire incident in full detail.

After listening, Yang Mufeng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Even the fog of war did not hinder him?"

"Correct! The opponent annihilated all adversaries with overwhelming superiority, and I even suspect he knows that those who died by his hand were expendable. Hence, he did not pursue Meng Yi and others; otherwise, I reckon even they wouldn’t have made it back!"

Yang Mufeng abruptly stood up, "I understand. The conditions promised when you borrowed those weapons are now quadrupled; then, deliver them to me!"

Wei Qingfeng rejoiced, knowing this meant Yang Mufeng was letting him off, promptly nodded, "Rest assured, second young lady, I guarantee delivery!"

Yang Mufeng turned and left.

After she left, Meng Yi, Ying Gu, and Chen Shichun hurriedly rushed into the room.

"Boss, how did it go?" Meng Yi asked with concern.

Wei Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "It’s nothing, just some extra expense, but I’ve finally appeased the second young lady!"

Upon hearing these words, Meng Yi and Ying Gu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Being Wei Qingfeng’s subordinates, they shared his fate—prosper together, suffer together.

Taking private jobs this time had indeed touched Firearms Society’s taboo, plus the mission failed, making the situation more indescribable.

Fortunately, the second young lady was temporarily pacified; otherwise, things would truly be beyond redemption.

While Meng Yi and Ying Gu were secretly relieved, Chen Shichun suddenly remembered something.

"But the mission has already failed, and sooner or later the truth will come to light. When it does, we will ultimately face punishment!"

Wei Qingfeng chuckled, "Relax, the concern you have I’ve long foreseen, but I assure you, the situation won’t be as dire as you think!"

"Because the second young lady has intervened!"

"You mean..." Chen Shichun was slightly startled.

"That’s right!" Wei Qingfeng smiled cunningly.

"I realized just now while recounting the incident that the second young lady was very intrigued by the young expert, so I deliberately embellished the story to provoke her emotions!"

"You all know she is highly competitive, and now that someone younger and stronger than her has emerged, she would surely be unable to contain herself and go after him!"

"By then, although we can’t fully dodge our blame, having the second young lady as a shield will significantly reduce our culpability!"

Meng Yi suddenly understood, extending his thumb in admiration, "Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

Even Ying Gu was all smiles, believing the matter was settled.

Only a trace of worry flickered in Chen Shichun’s heart.

It seemed flawless, but what if... the second young lady also failed?

Wouldn’t that make the situation even more uncontrollable?

But seeing Wei Qingfeng’s satisfied expression, Chen Shichun suppressed her concerns.

Such circumstances likely wouldn’t occur, right!

After all, the second young lady was incredibly powerful and had countless peculiar weapons at her disposal. Even if she couldn’t win, she should at least be able to retreat safely!

Only Chen Shichun herself did not realize how unconfident her thought was.

Contrary to her, Yang Mufeng was full of confidence.

After leaving the conference room, she immediately departed the fortress, heading towards the Wu Family.

Along the way, Yang Mufeng’s heart burned with excitement.

Someone managed to disregard the weapons she developed, passed three checkpoints unscathed; this greatly piqued Yang Mufeng’s interest.

Compared to these, the loss of some experimental subjects was insignificant.
