Chapter 1460: When the Dog is Bitten


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


“Wh… What… What is this?! What happened?!” There were cracks running down the length of all 10 doors, and the combat s.p.a.ce jets behind them were nowhere to be seen.


This unimaginable scenario had everyone completely horrified.


This was a bombsh.e.l.l to the Lu Family. They all looked like they had their living daylights knocked out of them.”


“Wh… Where did all the combat s.p.a.ce jets go? My G.o.d… If they’re missing, our Family is done for…”


“That’s strange! There was no one here when we came! Who could have done this?”


“But none of these surveillance cameras caught anything! Could it be a ghost?”


“There’s not a single lead. Where do even begin to search?”


The Lu Family members were sh.e.l.l-shocked. All color drained form their faces, and a flurry of cold s.h.i.+vers seized their hearts!


These interstellar combat weapons and equipment were of extreme importance to the Temple. With 10 combat s.p.a.ce jets gone, the Lu Family was not going to be able to get away from this!


Worse still, these combat s.p.a.ce jets were incredibly costly. If the Lu Family were unable to hide this, they would never be able to reimburse this ma.s.sive loss even if they sold everything they had!


If the Northern Wilderness Temple looked into this matter, the Lu Family would be buried beneath the waves!


“Chen Zhufeng! It must be that Chen Zhufeng!” Lu Mingjun suddenly shouted. His face twisted into a scowl. He longed to grab Chen Xiaobei by the neck and strangle him to death.


Clearly, in Lu Mingjun’s eyes, of everybody on the entire mothers.h.i.+p, Chen Xiaobei was the only one who dared do such a thing.


The others would not dare do something like this even if they could.


Lu Mingjun’s guess was, undoubtedly, accurate. This was all Chen Xiaobei’s doing.


But Lu Mingjun did not have any evidence.


“Master.” One of the core Family members stammered. “We have been watching Chen Zhufeng’s room, but he has not come out so far!”


“What? How is that possible?!” Lu Mingjun’s eyes were so wide, the corners of his eyes were beginning to crack, unable to accept the fact.


Even if he cracked his head, he could not think of anyone else to suspect other than Chen Xiaobei.


“Go to his room now! Find out whether he’s in the room or not!” Lu Mingjun barked.


“Yes!”


A Lu Family member immediately took action.


At the same time, Chen Xiaobei had returned to his room, de-spelled the Prosperous Monkey Fur, and was already resting on his bed.


The core family member called almost immediately. “Master! Chen Zhufeng is in his room! He’s never left!”


“How is that possible? That’s not possible!” Lu Mingjun felt himself begin to crack.


He could not imagine, as to who, apart from Chen Xiaobei, would dare do such a thing?


The mothers.h.i.+p had been flying for some time. No outsiders could have infiltrated the s.p.a.cecraft midway in flight.


There was no one in Northern Wilderness Starfield who did not know that the interstellar combat weapons and equipment were the Temple’s untouchable babies. Whoever touched them would be sentenced to death for sure!


Only a foreigner; an outlaw like Chen Xioabei would dare do such a thing!


But the problem was, there was not a single piece of evidence that could prove that it was Chen Xiaobei who did it.


Lu Mingjun began to waver. “Nephew Zhu!”


Lu Mingjun’s eyes landed on Zhu Dachang.


“Yes, uncle Lu?” Zhu Dachang swallowed, sensing that something bad was about to happen.


“Come with me!” Lu Mingjun gritted his teeth like a tiger ready to pounce.


When he and Zhu Dachang arrived at the mothers.h.i.+p’s bridge, he said, “You told me that Chen Zhufeng has already accepted you, right?”


“Yes.”


Zhu Dachang swallowed nervously.


No one knew this but Zhu Dachang could confirm that the missing s.p.a.ce jets were Chen Xiaobei’s doing!


Zhu Dachang was worried that Lu Mingjun may not let Chen Xiaobei off the hook, and might find out the truth.


“Good. Now that he’s accepted you, I want to hear how you plan to take care of this matter?” Lu Mingjun asked.


“Take care of it?” Zhu Dachang looked worried. “How am I supposed to do that if we don’t have any evidence??


“Are you trying to play dumb?” Lu Mingjun gave him a look that could freeze h.e.l.l over. “Shouldn’t you take a peek into his Spiritual Instrument’s storage?”


Zhu Dachang gulped. “Yes, we should check everyone’s storage”


Zhu Dachang was not confident at all.


All 10 of the combat s.p.a.ce jets were definitely in Chen Xiaobei’s Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring. Once they frisked Chen Xiaobei, the truth would be exposed.


Stealing 10 combat s.p.a.ce jets was an executable crime in Northern Wilderness Starfield!


Even Ximen Dingjun would not be able to protect Chen Xiaobei!


Zhu Dachang could feel his stomach do a somersault when he thought of this. He was devastated.


Under Lu Mingjun’s pressure, Zhu Dachang dared not deny him. All he could do now was to quickly contact Chen Xiaobei.


But what was the point of doing that?


So that Chen Xiaobei could hide all 10 combat s.p.a.ce jets under the bed?


“Mm, it looks like you can be trusted!” Lu Minjun nodded. “Go tell all of the Lu core family members to lead search teams, and check every pa.s.senger’s Spiritual Instrument’s storage!”


If Zhu Dachang had said no, Lu Mingjun would have grown suspicious.


When Zhu Dachang agreed to do a search, it was proof that he was not on Chen XIiaobei’s side, and would increase Lu Mingjun’s trust towards Zhu Dachang.


After that, a strict search began.


Chen Xiaobei was, naturally, the first person to be searched.


And Lu Mingjun himself showed up at the scene.


“Hey kid! The alarm went off just now. Why did you stay in your room? Do you know what happened?” Lu Mingjun asked.


“I don’t want to know!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I don’t like b.u.t.ting into other people’s problems. Also, you see me as your enemy. I was afraid that if I left my room, you would have tried to accuse me of something I didn’t do!”


“Hmph! Let me tell you, that 10 combat s.p.a.ce jets were stolen just now, and you are our biggest suspect!” Lu Mingjun shouted.


“Is your brain missing a piece? I didn’t even step out the door. Why am I the suspect?” Chen Xiaobei did not even try to hide the sound of contempt in his voice.


“Whether or not you should be suspected depends on what I find in your storage! You just need to hand over your storage ring, and let me check it!”


“You don’t even have any evidence, why should I allow you to search me?”


“Your refusal to hand it over means that you have something to hide! As commander of this mothers.h.i.+p, I have the jurisdiction to use force against you!”


“Fine! I’ll let you check!” Chen Xiaobei said. “I’ll just pretend that I’ve been bitten by a dog!”
