Chapter 267 Slipping Away

Although Lin Weidong had said everything he could.

The family enshriners still felt that Lin Weidong must have a hidden hand!

So, after Lin Weidong announced the next tasks for the observation group.

Quite a few family enshriners proposed that they be allowed to see the case files for this mission.

"Old Lin, it's not that we're making excuses, but knowing that the Shadow Organization members are nearby, we can't rest assured."

"As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Since we are all in the new recruit training base, we also have the right to know about the Shadow Organization, don't we?"

A family enshrine stood up and said.

Lin Weidong narrowed his eyes, his pupils revealing an unfathomable blackness.

Every time the Dragon Team went on a mission, they would record the details of the mission and compile them into case files.

Case files had always been confidential to the Dragon Team.

And these family enshriners requesting to see the case files was equivalent to breaking the rules of the Dragon Team!

Anyone with a normal mind would absolutely not agree.

But what Lin Weidong had to consider at this moment was not just the rules of the Dragon Team.

But also the emotions of these families.

Whether it was to investigate the Shadow Organization next, or to condemn them afterward.

It required the unity of these top-tier families.

If Lin Weidong refused outright now, he would indeed uphold the rules, but it was highly likely that it would lead to a disintegration of morale!

Just as Lin Weidong was thinking about how to refuse.

A light laugh came from the seats.

Everyone's gaze immediately shifted with the laugh.

Only to see.

Zhou Yu was sitting in his seat, observing everyone with a leisurely air.

"Divine Doctor Zhou, what do you mean by that?" Enshriner Zhang raised his eyes, gritted his teeth, and glared at Zhou Yu with hatred.

What did he mean by laughing at this moment?

Looking down on them?

Another family enshrine immediately chimed in, "Yes, at such a serious moment, you can still laugh. Are you in collusion with members of the Shadow Organization!"

Listening to their conversation, Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

He immediately said, "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just simply looking down on everyone present with utter contempt."

"As for being accused of cooperating with the Shadow Organization, I can't bear that title!"

The enshriners from various families did not expect Zhou Yu to speak with such arrogance.

He was openly expressing his disdain for them.

One by one, they were so angry that they almost gnashed their teeth, glaring at him hatefully.

He was merely a prison guard, with no status, no background.

He had some strength, what right did he have to look down on them?

"What we proposed are normal demands. If you disagree, just say so, why insult people?" Enshriner Zhang's face turned red, and he glared at Zhou Yu in embarrassment and rage.

Zhou Yu stood up directly.

He put away his smile, and the oppressive aura all over his body suddenly erupted!

Instantly, these family enshriners felt as if this young man in front of them was like Mount Tai, making them unable to resist!

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, looking everyone up and down with a fierce gaze, and slowly said, "It was you who insulted the Dragon Team first!"

"What kind of existence and status the Dragon Team has, everyone present knows it clearly."

"Yet you actually wish to, by leveraging the matter of the Shadow Organization, break the rules of the Dragon Team to view the case files."

"Those who know understand that you lack a sense of security and want to obtain more information. Those who don't know might think you are trying to destroy certain evidence through this opportunity!"

It must be known that the Dragon Team's case files not only recorded the matter of the Shadow Organization.

But also countless other matters!

Including the dark secrets of these top-tier families, and so on.

It was possible that these enshriners were aiming to destroy their families' dark secrets by using the matter of the Shadow Organization.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, indeed, two family enshriners turned pale, their eyes darting around.

It was clear that Zhou Yu had hit the nail on the head!

"Don't spout nonsense!" Enshriner Zhang remained consistently stable, slamming his pen onto the table and quickly standing up, shouting loudly.

Zhou Yu, however, smiled and stepped forward: "I'm spouting nonsense? Then you already know the latest news, why do you still want to see the case files?"

"Could it be that Enshriner Zhang is the informant?"

Enshriner Zhang was rendered speechless by Zhou Yu's successive arguments, his old face turning red, and he was so angry that he was about to spew smoke.

But he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal!

So, Enshriner Zhang suddenly looked at Lin Weidong.

Since he couldn't win, he would seek help!

"Old Lin, I agreed to sit in the conference room out of consideration for the Dragon Team. Who is this Zhou Yu, with unknown origins, why is he here?"

Enshriner Zhang said it very seriously, as if he genuinely suspected Zhou Yu's identity.

Lin Weidong almost laughed out loud in his heart.

He thought to himself that he hadn't invited the wrong person.

It was a good thing he had brought Zhou Yu, otherwise, it would have been difficult to refuse when those family enshriners proposed to see the Dragon Team's case files earlier.

Now, Zhou Yu had directly refused.

And exposed some people's hidden motives!

Lin Weidong was too grateful to Zhou Yu to punish him as Enshriner Zhang wished.

But he still had to maintain appearances.

Lin Weidong coughed twice as if feigning formality, and then said, "Enshriner Zhang, your statement is incorrect. Zhou Yu is the disciple of an old friend of mine, and his origins are very clear."

"Moreover, Zhou Yu has not been down the mountain for long. Even if he wanted to cooperate with the Shadow Organization, the timing would not be right."

How could Enshriner Zhang not know that since Zhou Yu could sit here, he was not someone of unknown origin as he claimed?

But he just couldn't swallow his pride and wanted to punish Zhou Yu.

Unexpectedly, Lin Weidong did not side with him.

Enshriner Zhang was so angry that he dared not speak, he could only glare at Zhou Yu hatefully, snorted forcefully, and sat back down.

Seeing him extremely angry, Zhou Yu smiled at Enshriner Zhang to ease the atmosphere.

Little did he know.

This smile, in Enshriner Zhang's eyes, became a provocation!

Enshriner Zhang was almost about to explode with rage!

"Alright, the meeting is adjourned for today. Don't forget two things: First, identify the family crests on the ledger. Report any clues immediately."

"Second, hand over the security of the new recruit training base to the Dragon Team members to ensure the safety of the new recruits."

Lin Weidong coughed lightly, halting Enshriner Zhang's glare.

After announcing the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone then dispersed.

Zhou Yu yawned, about to go back and catch up on sleep.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped outside the conference room threshold, Lin Weidong's voice came from behind him.

"Zhou Yu, wait."

Hearing this voice, Zhou Yu knew that Lin Weidong must want to rope him into more work.

With one foot already outside, what better time to run than now?

Therefore, Zhou Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his speed increased. He took three steps and two steps, rushing directly towards his room!

Lin Weidong did not expect Zhou Yu to be so fast, and could only stare at his retreating back in astonishment!
