Chapter 10: Righteousness Extremity (1)
"Shen Ling." Shen Feng shouted.
"My son is here." A man in his early forties stood up from the lower seat and bowed respectfully.
"You're in charge of guarding the matter, what exactly happened that day, you tell me." Shen Feng's serious gaze swept over Shen Ling, his wise eyes showing no warmth of a father towards his son, only the majesty of a superior.
Shen Ling smiled wryly to himself. As Shen Feng's fourth son, aside from the late Shen Yu, he was the youngest among the second generation. Compared to Shen Yu, who excelled in both literature and martial arts, he seemed quite mediocre. Usually, he didn't receive much attention from Shen Feng either. This time, the incident in the dungeon happened within his area of responsibility.
"I reported to the master of the house that on that day, I went out for something and was not in the mansion. The three guards under my command were responsible for guarding the dungeon. When I returned to the mansion, they reported to me that someone had broken into the dungeon." Shen Ling secretly wiped away cold sweat. Breaking into the dungeon was no small mistake, but what was truly fatal was that on that day, the magical beast being held in the dungeon was a precious species that the entire Zhuque family had spent over a hundred elite lives to capture!
In fact, except for Shen Feng, only Shen Ling in the entire Zhu Que family knew what had happened in the dungeon that day. The reason why Shen Feng asked Shen Yan Xiao publicly today was not just a trivial matter of trespassing into the dungeon.
What really shocked Shen Feng was something that no one else in the Zhu Que family could have ever imagined.
"Is today's guardian present?" Shen Feng asked aloud.
Shen Feng's question made everyone in the main house stare blankly.
This is a settled matter, when Shen Yanxiao was found unconscious in the dungeon, it was already an ironclad fact. Logically speaking, Shen Feng only needed to issue a punishment order for Shen Yanxiao, but today Shen Feng actually put on an attitude of wanting to investigate the cause of that day's events. This matter is not quite right! Everyone secretly felt that Shen Yanxiao's mistake that day was probably not just trespassing in a forbidden area.
At this moment, Shen Jia-yi and Shen Jia-wei's faces turned pale. They did not expect Shen Feng to investigate the matter thoroughly. To be sure, on that day, they had already made excuses to transfer the three guards who were guarding the dungeon before deceiving Shen Yan-xiao into entering the dungeon, which gave that idiot an opportunity to enter the dungeon.
At this moment, Shen Feng actually wanted to interrogate the three guards. What if those three people revealed his sister and brother? With Grandfather's cleverness, he would probably guess that they were behind the scenes in no time.
Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei now want to cry, they didn't even dream that a small matter of trespassing would make Shen Feng pay so much attention. They originally planned to threaten Shen Yanshuo into keeping her mouth shut, then they could rest easy, but who would have thought Shen Feng would come up with this move.
At this moment, the two young men's faces had lost all their arrogance and pride, leaving only panic and confusion in their eyes.
The middle-aged man sitting in front of Shen Jia-yi and Shen Jia-wei, who was the father of these two siblings, Shen Yue, vaguely felt the unease of his own two children. He slightly furrowed his brow and didn't say much.
Three guards responsible for guarding the dungeon were quickly brought to the main house, where they knelt respectfully in front of Shen Feng, waiting for their master's inquiry.
