Chapter 829: Who exactly is 439?

Shen Xin didn’t know about Shen Xi’s plans, so she was always strongly opposed to him being with Fang Mengyao, especially after coming to the Beishi Base. Shen Xi went to work with Zhao Qiankun and entered the research institute, spending almost all his time inside and rarely coming out. Without him, Fang Mengyao became more and more unruly, dressing up flamboyantly and flirting with men all day long.

Although Shen Xin did not like Fang Mengyao, she always considered her as Shen Xi’s woman. Fang Mengyao’s actions clearly showed she was not taking Shen Xi seriously and wanted to make a fool of him. How could she tolerate that? Moreover, Fang Mengyao had the audacity to compete with her for Qiu Yiming!

However, she was ultimately no match for Fang Mengyao. Even though she was displeased, all she could do was keep it to herself. Now, having finally seen Shen Xi, she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to report Fang Mengyao’s behavior, so that Shen Xi would know what a shameless woman she truly was!

As Shen Xi listened, his expression grew increasingly grim. This woman, did she think he was dead? How dare she do such things behind his back! Even though his relationship with Fang Mengyao was one of convenience, he would never allow Fang Mengyao to trample on his dignity as a man!

Shen Xi held onto Shen Xin’s shoulders and interrupted her endless chatter with a somber face, saying, "Xinxin, you don’t need to say more, I already know. I know how to handle this situation, don’t worry, your brother won’t suffer any loss."

Shen Xin, pleased at his words, quickly flattered him, "Brother, I knew you were the best! I’m telling you, this Fang Mengyao is really no good; you must teach her a good lesson this time and let her know your power. Besides, you’re always in the research institute and can’t watch her; imagine how carefree she must be out there. What if she does something to wrong you and you’re kept in the dark?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi’s face turned even darker. He gave Shen Xin a steady look, and she, intending to continue speaking, was frightened by his gloomy gaze and reluctantly fell silent, not daring to say more.

Shen Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After sending Shen Xin home, he had the two Third-level Superpower Users guard the door and then asked Shen Xin, "Xinxin, did anything happen today while you were outside? Did you see any strange people?"

"Huh?" Shen Xin was momentarily stunned, curious, "Brother, weren’t you always in the research institute? How do you know so much? I really did see three strange people today. Could there be something off about them?"

Shen Xi originally wanted to ask her about another Spiritual Superpower User, to see if she remembered anything, but unexpectedly, Shen Xin mentioned the incident on the commercial street. He asked, "What about these three strange people?"

When the commotion on the commercial street happened, Shen Xin had been watching from the sidelines, so when Shen Xi asked, she vividly recounted the event with embellishments. Hearing this, Shen Xi grew suspicious. He surmised, as Qin Xiran did, that an ordinary Second-level Superpower User couldn’t easily provoke Qin Xiran and Qu Qianlin. Since someone dared to act so arrogantly, they were likely under orders from someone, and the whole situation was a setup!

After pondering for a moment, Shen Xi sensed something was amiss and asked Shen Xin, "Are you sure that the woman who acted was a speed superpower user?"

Shen Xin nodded quickly, "Absolutely! She was incredibly fast; I couldn’t see her clearly, she disappeared in a blink. Even though Qin Xiran is a Third-level Fire Ability User, he was knocked out before he could react, that woman must be a speed superpower user, no doubt about it!"

Shen Xi nodded and continued to ask, "What about the other two? Do you know what kind of superpower users they were?"

Shen Xin recalled seeing the two of them, tall and handsome, but unfortunately, they looked too ordinary, so much so that she didn’t even want a second glance. She said with frustration, "Those two didn’t make a move, so it’s hard to say what kind of superpower users they were, but they looked strong. I’d guess they might be from the Enhancement System."

Since she hadn’t seen them in action with her own eyes, Shen Xin’s tone was somewhat unsure.

All along, Shen Xi felt those three were highly suspicious, but the one who attacked Shen Xin was clearly a high-level Spiritual-type superpower user, and the woman who acted was a Second-level speed superpower user, which dismissed suspicion of those two. Therefore, the Spiritual Superpower User could possibly be among the remaining two.
