Chapter 68 Beneath the Deep Sea Lies a Heart of Steel?
David's eyes lit up, while Kyle remained silent, but his straight back spoke volumes.
Only Su Man, after the initial shock, looked at Shen Fei with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Sir, there's something I think you need to know immediately."
David broke the silence by pointing to the holographic screen on the wall.
A video call request pops up on the screen, with the contact name Steve Smith.
Shen Fei answered the call.
Steve's face, which always wore a confident smile, appeared on the screen, but this time the smile was gone, and his expression was serious.
"Shen, the situation has changed a bit."
The lawyer got straight to the point, "I just received a call from the legal department of Poseidon Industries. They were very firm, claiming that the two thieves were third-party contractors working with them, and that their actions had nothing to do with Poseidon Industries."
"They also implied," Steve adjusted his glasses, "that if we tried to link this to their company, they would sue Great Saint Fishery for commercial defamation."
"Typical rogue logic."
David scoffed, "Outsource the dirty work, and cut ties immediately if anything goes wrong."
Shen Fei was not surprised; this was consistent with the operating style of the company described in the documents.
"Where is that tainted witness?"
Shen Fei asked.
Steve smiled.
"He was very cooperative. Under my persuasion and the lure of that overseas trust fund, he has signed all the documents and is willing to testify that Poseidon Industries was the mastermind. We have a complete chain of evidence."
"very good."
Shen Fei nodded, then turned to David, "What about what I asked you to look into?"
"Sir," David immediately pulled up another document, "Poseidon Industries has a complicated background. They not only cooperate with the military in the field of marine bioengineering, but also invest heavily in lobbying groups. Even several members of parliament in Newfoundland have unclear relationships with them."
He pointed to a point on the map:
"This is a research platform they have located 120 nautical miles southeast of St. John's, codenamed 'Prometheus.' Ostensibly for studying deep-sea minerals, our people discovered that the security level there is ridiculously high, and all supplies are handled by a company with military ties."
Just then, Zhang Xin, who had been standing to the side responsible for breeding and quality control, couldn't help but speak up, his brows furrowed:
"Boss, the abalone issue is manageable, since they're raised on the estate. But our scallops and sea cucumbers released into the open sea... if they target those too, we'll be helpless."
Shen Fei listened to all of this, but his expression remained unchanged.
He simply stood up slowly, walked to the huge French windows, and looked out at the black ocean illuminated by the moonlight.
"Steve," he said calmly to the screen, "proceed with the lawsuit as planned. Write Poseidon Industries' name clearly in the defendant's dock. If they want to sue, I'll fight them. I'll show everyone just how filthy this company's claws are."
He then turned to David:
"Have the S.H.I.E.L.D. risk team focus all their attention on that 'Prometheus' platform. I need to know how many people go in and out every day, what they transport, and what kind of waste they dump."
Finally, he looked at Kyle and Zhang Xin.
"Kyle, upgrade the seabed monitoring systems in all our fishing areas, especially the biological activity sensors. Zhang Xin, don't worry, in my waters, they can't take anything without my permission."
"They think the law and power are a shield. Well, I'll drag the battlefield into my territory."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Shen Fei's lips. "In the deep sea, I am the rule."
After the meeting ended, the group immediately went their separate ways.
Only Shen Fei and Su Man remained in the study.
Just as Su Man was about to speak, Shen Fei made a "shh" gesture to her.
He closed his eyes, his mental energy instantly sinking into his own bay, precisely locking onto several sneaky miniature underwater vehicles—the eyes left behind by Poseidon Industries.
The next second, as if receiving a command, several strong bluefin tuna in the deep sea rushed over and accurately crashed into the expensive equipment.
"nailed it."
Shen Fei opened his eyes and smiled slightly at Su Man, "I destroyed their toys worth millions, let's collect some interest first."
Su Man breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes lit up as she looked at him:
"you……"
"I am protecting my kingdom."
Shen Fei grasped her hand and briefly transmitted the scene he had just witnessed to her through his mental power. "Come on, I'll take you to meet an interesting person."
The next day, just as Shen Fei was planning to personally investigate that sea area, an unexpected person approached him.
It's Hannah Schmidt.
For the first time, the biologist voluntarily stepped out of her dormitory.
She was still wearing the same dark clothes, expressionless, holding a tablet computer in her hand, and walked straight into the restaurant.
"Mr. Shen."
Without even a "good morning," she simply handed him the tablet. "The cake that was delivered last night was very nice; this is a return gift."
Shen Fei raised an eyebrow and took the tablet.
The screen displays a complex material analysis report.
"This is my analysis of the residual seawater in the nets of the two thieves, as well as the tissue sections of the abalone."
Hannah said in a flat tone, "I discovered a trace amount of metallic contaminant, as well as a metabolite of a synthetic biological hormone."
She swiped the screen to bring up another document.
"I checked the database, and this unique contamination fingerprint has a 93% similarity to a patent technology applied for by Poseidon Industries five years ago regarding 'biological adaptive modification in extreme environments.' That patent was later shelved due to ethical issues."
Hannah looked at Shen Fei, a sharp glint flashing in her blue eyes behind her glasses.
"They're using your fish farm as a control group for their illegal experiments. They're testing how long unmodified, high-quality organisms can survive in the polluted environment they've created, and... what kind of deliciousness they'll produce."
After hearing her words, the restaurant fell into a deathly silence.
"I see."
Shen Fei put down the tablet, and the smile on his face disappeared.
The information provided by Hannah allowed him to see the true nature of Poseidon Industries. Now it seems that last night's counterattack was just the beginning.
He stood up and said to Kyle beside him:
"Prepare the 'Sea Terminator,' fill up the tank. We're setting sail."
Half an hour later, a black, streamlined speedboat sped out of the bay and headed southeast.
There were only Shen Fei and Kyle on the boat.
The speedboat stopped about ten nautical miles from the "Prometheus" platform.
From here, you can already see that huge platform in the distance using a telescope.
"Sir, we have entered the enemy's radar warning range."
Kyle put down his binoculars and whispered a reminder.
"It's okay."
Shen Fei leaned back in the driver's seat and closed his eyes.
His consciousness instantly sank into the deep sea, stretching towards the platform.
Just like last night, the closer we got to the platform, the thinner the signs of life became in the seawater.
The seabed was covered with a layer of gray-black silt, and there was no sign of life.
His senses traveled through the murky seawater and reached the base of the platform's massive support pillars.
He sensed that the support pillars were deeply embedded in the seabed rock, and he also sensed a pipe extending from the bottom of the platform, discharging an unknown liquid into the open sea.
But just as he was about to withdraw his senses, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Directly below the platform, about 500 meters below the seabed, a faint but very regular vibration could be felt.
That's not geological activity.
Shen Fei frowned, focused his mental energy into a single point, and pierced through the thick seabed rock layer.
The next second, his body jolted, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
At the edge of his perception, a massive metal structure appeared, buried deep beneath the rock strata.
Its structure is complex and precise, with countless thick pipes extending and intersecting within it.
At the core of this enormous metal construct, he sensed a faint heartbeat.
It was a cold, mechanical energy pulse that beat once every ten seconds or so.
Moreover, with each pulsation, a surge of energy flows through those channels in all directions. The energy has a peculiar quality, possessing both biological characteristics and the coldness of metal.
It was a... artificial iron core buried deep in the sea.
"Sir? What's wrong?"
Kyle noticed Shen Fei's unusual behavior.
Shen Fei's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Shen Fei gasped for breath, staring intently at the distant sea, his voice dry and hoarse.
"What...is that...?"
