The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 156 Xia Youyou is So Lucky, She’s Actually Still Alive

"And are you sure you want to force the old lady to relinquish her power in person?"

They all knew very well that the core issue of the old lady’s dissatisfaction with Lin Fu, her lack of approval, and her desire to have Fu Xing seek a marriage alliance with her maternal family, was all about control.

The old lady tightly clenched onto the Duchess’s power without letting go.

Because she couldn’t influence her son’s decisions, she didn’t hesitate to return to her fief and adopt a policy of indefinite delay.

"What do you think?" Instead of answering, Fu Xing asked back coldly.

Horace’s scalp tingled with dread, and he started to sweat profusely, "Your relationship with the old lady is already very tense. If you fight with the old lady over power, I’m afraid..."

"I’m afraid I’ll end up with a reputation for being cruel, disloyal, and unfilial?" Fu Xing scoffed with a snort.

"Not necessarily that."

Horace wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It’s just a thorny issue, that’s all. Ever since the Duke passed away, the old lady seemed to have lost her support and grew even more desperate for power. It’s a sign of insecurity. Maybe the Commander could have a good talk with the old lady."

"No need."

Fu Xing rejected the suggestion without hesitation.

"Commander, Lin Fu is in trouble." frёewebηovel.cѳm

The dialogue window of Chief of Staff Bernard popped up directly. This was the fleet’s wartime communication occupation. There was no need to connect; it would pop up directly in an emergency situation.

Within the entire Eighth Fleet, besides Fu Xing, only Horace, Monger, and Bernard were aware of Lin Fu’s identity.

"What happened?"

Fu Xing’s expression changed slightly, and even he didn’t notice the tension in his voice.

"Damn it, kill her immediately."

The Imperial Guards didn’t expect Lin Fu to suddenly take action, nor did they anticipate her killing Lady Nora. This was practically suicidal. It was like stomping several times on the face of their Royal Guard, and it was not simply an offense against the Royal Family anymore.

The commanding captain issued his furious order after regaining his senses.

"Damn!"

Joter had held back from letting Mervin and his people get involved precisely because he didn’t want to escalate the situation, but he hadn’t anticipated Lin Fu would be so conflict-prone, recklessly bold to the extreme.

Now not only had the situation escalated, but it had also become uncontrollable.

So, his reaction was the quickest; he immediately deployed his energy shield in front of Lin Fu. Before he could steady himself, the ion beams had already swept over them.

Fortunately, they were blocked by the energy shield.

But Lin Fu’s own reaction wasn’t slow either; her movement technique was unpredictable as she grabbed the neck of a middle-aged lady-in-waiting, dragging her in front of her as a shield, and she even had time to kick the soldier who had just clamped down on her, forcing her to kneel.

The soldier tumbled over, blocking the firing angle of the ion gun.

So, if Joter’s reaction had been a step slower, the person shot would not have been the soldier in battle armor, but the middle-aged lady-in-waiting.

Everyone was stunned by her lightning-fast actions and the hair-raising precision of her maneuvers.

The captain who had ordered the assassination broke out in a cold sweat. Not only did he not blame Joter, but he also cast him a grateful glance.

No one expected that a military academy freshman could act and think so ruthlessly.

Not only was she prepared in advance, but she also took a hostage to use as a scapegoat.

With such maneuvers... one could believe that she was a Star Thief Boss.

The students from the First Military Command College and the Royal Starship Academy looked at Lin Fu with a newfound wariness, no longer daring to underestimate her in the slightest.

Let alone provoke her on account of their status.

Among the crowd, Tang Xuefei watched with eyes full of terror as Lady Nora’s eyes stared lifelessly; a wave of fear washed over her.

Some even felt that Xia Youyou was incredibly lucky to have lost only a toe.
