Chapter 88: Episode 8.2 Thank You Father

Since it was already late, Shen Yuan’s family decided to stay in the Bai Mansion for the night. Rong Suyin took the initiative to take Yanyan to sleep while the adults were talking about adult stuff.

Thankfully, the little cub didn’t make a fuss after Shen Yuan explained the situation. Yanyan was always a considerate boy. He just pouted his lips and said goodnight after giving both his parents and grandfather, Bai Weisheng, a kiss on their cheeks.

The adults who had issues talking late at night went to the Bai Mansion’s library, where they could discuss with secrecy.

"Yanyan has always behaved well. I wonder why our family’s Xiaolun is not like that," Wu Jin sighed.

"What are you talking about? I may not have known that boy for some time, but I could see that he was a good boy. Just on the naughty side, that is," Shen Yuan said casually, making Wu Jin stare at Shen Yuan, looking touched.

However, this pleasant feeling immediately vanished when Shen Yuan spoke once again.

"But here is my concern: what the "ef" are you doing here? I thought you were going home."

"Wow, this casual-bordering-to-disrespectful way of talking. Is really... Am I being despised now? I stayed behind because I thought something interesting would come up, and Chairman Mao and Uncle Bai said it was okay," Wu Jin replied.

Wu Jin and Bai Tingfeng had thrown away their initial confusion about Shen Yuan, telling them he was his uncle. They all internally agreed that it was just an expression. It’s a passerby joke that doesn’t need to be pondered deeply.

However, seeing that extremely "comfortable" way of the omega in addressing him, Wu Jin was urged to run through their family tree and check if there was a speck of blood relationship between him and Shen Yuan.

Or maybe he could snatch a hair strand and run a DNA test.

Wu Jin thought the latter was a good idea and nodded.

Shen Yuan flashed his sweetest smile. The faint light and the echoes of the footsteps made his beautiful smile look like it was straight out of a horror movie.

"Not really. I am responding fairly to you, given that you violated my personal space the second time we met."

"Wrong, that is the first time. It all happened on the same day, so it was the first time," Wu Jin responded, pressing down the goosebumps in his arms.

He treated the warnings he heard about Shen Yuan as something exaggerated, like an urban legend. But now, seeing that smile, he instantly knows that Shen Yuan is someone no one should offend.

"Regardless if it’s first or second, you gave me quite an impression, so suck it up," Shen Yuan crossed his arms and haughtily picked up speed to catch up with the two older alpha’s ahead of them. "Not just anyone could get close to me, hug me, and kiss me. You better note that if you want to work peacefully with me."

Unbeknownst to Shen Yuan, his last statement made Bai Tingfeng smile. It hit the alpha directly in his heart and ego.

"I hugged him in public and let it go. Does that mean that I am someone that Shen Yuan..." Bai Tingfeng trailed off in his mind, feeling proud and satisfied with himself for the first time in a long while.

"Hot damn, was your husband always that threatening, Tingfeng? How unfortunate of you..." Wu Jin whispered after Shen Yuan put distance between them.

Bai Tingfeng smirked, "I am happy being the most unfortunate alpha, Jin."

He tapped the towering admiral on the shoulders, "But I must say, you did a fairly good job back there."

"Good job? What did I do? Why is he like a lottery winner?" Wu Jin thought as he watched Bai Tingfeng go ahead, leaving him alone.

Once inside the study hall, everyone sat on the long rectangular wooden table made from the finest Amazon Rosewood. The entire room is covered with a barrier blocking any possibility of eavesdropping.

At the head of the table, the chairman of the Hunter Association is holding a brown envelope.

Chairman Mao let his eyes roam at the people sitting on both his sides, and he realized that everyone here was a powerful individual.

Well, damn. It turns out he accidentally made a meeting of S-Class awakeners incomplete version.

He took a deep breath and turned at the only omega in the room. He put on his serious face and said, "Shen Yuan, I know you might be wondering why I invited other people here when we are about to talk about your career in the Hunter Association. So, let me tell you that isn’t the only reason why I did it, I—

"Chairman Mao, with all due respect, I understand that you are simply using my dear husband, father-in-law, and this unknown sea urchin to pressure me into agreeing to your setup?" Shen Yuan reached out to touch the senior alpha’s hand reassuringly.

"Don’t worry, l absolutely understand. No hard feelings or whatever."

"Is that how scummy you view me as, Shen Yuan?" Mao Huanlong doesn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

Bai Weisheng laughed. "Seems like our Yuan thoroughly read your ways, Chairman Mao. You can’t take advantage of anyone in this room."

Bai Tingfeng and Wu Jin remained silent, but each had colorful reactions. The former has a proud smirk while looking at Shen Yuan. While the latter looked at the omega like he saw someone’s head split into two.

Even among S-Class awakeners, Chairman Mao is undoubtedly the most respected, given his age, power, position, and experience. Wu Jin may be tactless, but at least he knew how to shut up when in the presence of someone he should never offend, like Chairman Mao.

Shen Yuan’s balls are made of steel!

"Well, I must admit that I earned it," Chairman Mao said, remembering his impure intention when he forwarded the report to Shen Yuan back when he was still scouting him. "Anyway, I am here to inform you about the results of the investigation regarding the incidents caused by the Cardinals."

This time, everyone’s faces became serious. Chairman Mao gave out the papers with detailed reports.

"The Intelligence Department of our H.A. managed to milk the remaining "sane" prisoners that we caught thanks to the help of the Bai Family and the brilliant Shen Yuan."

Is it just me, or is this Mao Huanlong indeed shooting passive attacks at me? The celestial fox spirit thought.

"Majority of these prisoners are identified as a member of various underground syndicates that handles loan, prostitution, smuggling, drugs, and worst, assassination. Most of them deny their relationship with the Cardinals, but in the end, others croak under pressure," Chairman Mao shot a mischievous gaze at Shen Yuan.

"I wonder if you know who they are?"

"Was it Haichong? That S-Class bug?" Shen Yuan answered lethargically. Why ask him when it will be mentioned later on? Haichong is the only one he could remember because he still has unsettled business with that dipshit.

"He’s an S-Class summoner and no. He isn’t one of them. Despite being subjected to your weird fire, his will remained, and he never bent no matter what kind of interrogation he was subjected to," Chairman Mao corrected. His mood isn’t spoiled.

"I hope you remember the men you grilled with your flame and skewered with over a hundred needle injections all over their bodies. The ones you almost sent to the psychiatric hospital?"

"What?!" Wu Jin exclaimed.

Bai Tingfeng flinched a little. He knew about this matter and accepted it wholeheartedly, but his concern was his father.

"Oh, please. Don’t make it sound more gruesome than murder, Chairman Mao," Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at his father-in-law, smiling after Chairman Mao described what he did, which is totally uncalled for!

"It’s okay, Yuan. It’s refreshing to have someone like you in the family. I approve of you," Bai Weisheng said straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Father," Bai Tingfeng quickly responded before Shen Yuan could say thanks.

Shen Yuan threw a side-eye at Bai Tingfeng. "Feeling fulfilled?"

"Yes." Bai Tingfeng leaned forward and whispered.

"Anyway, since they have already suffered immense pain all thanks to Shen Yuan, it was easy for our Intelligence Department to make them spill what they know."

According to their testimonies, Cardinals are a multilevel and multifaceted organization. They are composed of many groups deeply rooted in legal and illegal industries. As a low-level member, they don’t know much about the others, and all they can provide is the groups and gangs they belong to. Which, in their cases, handles the shady business.

"So, this group remained undetected for a long time. And given that the international community is scouring their yard to eradicate these hidden terrorists, it is safe to assume that their roots have spread worldwide. That’s a big company to handle," Wu Jin commented.

"Indeed, that’s why the Cardinals are governed by seven figureheads that they call the Cardinals, and each of them has their archbishops and bishops who help them manage the groups under them. They call these groups under the rule of cardinals as factions."

"They sounded religious, right? I was also shocked when I heard their story. How audacious of them." Chairman Mao added.

However, the two couples are focused on something else.

"What is their goal in attacking Shen Yuan and Yanyan?"

"Then who is the damned cardinal who sent those small fries?"

Shen Yuan and Bai Tinfeng asked one after another.
