Chapter 2083: The Federation's Suspicions (Please Subscribe)_1

Hearing this, Xu Sheng glanced at them and said, "Oh? You realized something was wrong so quickly, but I'm afraid it's already too late!"

The amount of Life Force and Destruction Force within this man's body was minuscule, just a few threads; retrieving them wouldn't take much time at all...

"Stop right there! Who the hell are you and why did you break into the Federation Laboratory!"

"Stop asking why. This guy's goal is definitely the Life Force and Destruction Force. We can't let him succeed!"

"Quick, hit the alarm and call the guards immediately!"

As soon as those words were spoken, one of the researchers immediately hit the alarm button...

In an instant, the entire laboratory flashed with red light and emitted a piercing alarm sound...

"Buzzzzzzz~~"

In just a matter of seconds, hundreds of Federation members guarding outside the laboratory poured in, sealing every exit tight!

The leader of the squad said with a grave expression, "What's going on?!"

The researchers all looked towards Xu Sheng, who was still standing aside, "That guy is not one of our Federation members. He's planning to steal the Life Force and Destruction Force. Hurry, capture him!"

On hearing this, the squad leader commanded in a stern voice, "This man has trespassed in the Federation's restricted area and attempted to steal secrets. Capture him!!"

After his command, the rest of the Federation members released their Martial Souls and Battle Armor, charging at Xu Sheng, clearly intending to take him alive...

"Sorry, I've already taken the two forces, so I won't be playing with you guys anymore!"

He exuded a terrifying pressure from within his body, sweeping it directly towards everyone around him...

All the Federation members who got close were sent flying backward from the shock...

Those in the back, however, clenched their teeth and resisted, struggling even to keep their eyes open amidst the fierce winds...

However, when the pressure dissipated and everyone regained their senses, Xu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

The squad leader clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall, cursing loudly, "Damn it! Surrounded by so many people, we still let that guy escape!"

The other Federation members were also indignant, "The intruder's strength is at least of the Super Douluo Level, just the pressure alone made us immobile!"

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated; we cannot let go of even the slightest clue!"

"That's right, and that Elder from the Sea God's Pavilion who recently arrived at our Federation might be responsible for this! Don't let him off either!"

"This is the first time someone has boldly infiltrated our Federation and remained undetected, there must be a traitor!"

One of the researchers hurried to the side of the unconscious man, releasing his Soul Power to sense the situation inside the latter's body...

After a short while, he said with a cold expression, "Damn, the Life Force and Destruction Force within him have already been extracted!"

This meant that the Federation's "secret weapon" project was declared a failure!

...

Not long after Xu Sheng returned to his room, there was a hurried knocking at the door...

"Knock knock knock!"

He opened the door lazily and looked at the several Federation members outside, asking in confusion, "What's the matter?"

One of the members said gravely, "Your Excellency, just now, an intruder of Super Douluo caliber appeared in our Federation laboratory!"

"So, we wanted to ask if you have left your room!"

Yet his gaze scrutinized Xu Sheng's face, as if looking for something...

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng calmly responded, "What? Does the Federation suspect that I, an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, am behind this?"

The former's heart tightened, and he hurriedly retorted, "Of course not. You're a respected Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion. We're just following protocol, please don't misunderstand!"

Indeed, an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, even without showing any emotion, still evoked a feeling of awe in others!

Xu Sheng then explained, "I have been staying in my room this whole time without leaving!"

With a sidelong glance, the man threw an inquiring look at the Federation members guarding this place...

He immediately received their affirmation...

Then, filled with apologies, he said to Xu Sheng, "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Excellency. We will leave now and not disturb your rest!"

Since this man had not left his room, it seemed that the intruder must be someone else!

After all, an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion would surely not commit such a despicable act!

With that thought, he led the people behind him away, even withdrawing the guards who were monitoring Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng looked down at the two forces he had conjured in his hands and said indifferently, "Although I am sorry, these two forces should not fall into the hands of humans."

...

The next day!

Tang Ziran pushed open the door to the room and stepped inside...

Tang Wulin, who was meditating cross-legged on the bed, instantly opened his eyes and, upon recognizing the visitor, exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, what brings you here?"

Tang Ziran sat down beside him and sighed, "Of course, I came to see you. Langyue's death, it's all because I was too useless!"

Tang Wulin shook his head. "Dad, it's not your fault. Those Spirit Pagoda members and the evil Soul Master are to blame!"

Tang Ziran reached out to ruffle his hair and said with a bitter smile, "But being able to see you alive again is already more than enough for me."

The corners of Tang Wulin's eyes turned slightly red. "Dad..."

His mother's death must have hurt his father more than himself.

To love someone deeply yet fail to offer the most basic protection...

After choking up for a moment, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said, "Actually... I have a question I want to ask you."

Tang Ziran didn't refuse. "Ask me, as long as it's something I know."

Tang Wulin looked straight into his eyes and said word by word, "Dad, am I your and mom's biological son?"

Tang Ziran said in astonishment, "Wulin, why... would you ask such a question?"

No one else should have known that Tang Wulin was not his and Langyue's biological son!

Tang Wulin didn't respond, just kept looking at him...

Tang Ziran, faced with his sincere gaze, found it difficult to keep hiding the truth...

"Wulin, although I don't know where you got your information, you are indeed not Langyue's and my biological son,"

"However, to us, you are no different from a biological son!"

A flicker passed through Tang Wulin's eyes as he thought to himself, "As expected... It seems what the Sea God Tang San said was true—I am indeed his child!"

Seeing the other fall silent, Tang Ziran hesitated for a moment, "Wulin, does this matter bother you?"

Tang Wulin suddenly smiled a little, "No... I don't mind; on the contrary, I am grateful that you and mom didn't abandon me!"

They had been together so many years without having any children of their own, no doubt considering his feelings!

With such parents, what was there for him to mind?

He paused, then continued, "Dad, tell me about what happened after you left home..."
