"What's wrong? Do you think the Admiral won't take my report into account?" Xiaobai put down her hand and asked Ke Yuan.

"Heh, do you know how many people report me to the Admiral's Guild every day?" Admiral Ke Yuan wiped his cheek, his pale face gradually regaining color. He sneered at Xiao Bai, his face full of mockery, and said, "Those reports you just mentioned are all empty and meaningless, without a single piece of actual evidence. If we follow your logic, wouldn't you be able to drag any admiral in the hall out and slap that label on them? If you really want to report me, why don't you produce some real evidence! Prove where I've formed cliques, when I've obstructed activities, and who I've coerced or bribed!"

“Of course I have evidence,” Xiaobai said.

"Then take it out." Ke Yuan looked up with absolute confidence, staring at Xiao Bai with a mocking expression.

Ke Yuan absolutely refused to believe that Xiao Bai could produce any evidence that could harm him.

Chapter 2845 Fate is Set

Ke Yuan is indeed an extremely cautious person.

As an admiral, he committed numerous misdeeds in his daily life.

But why is it that someone like this can still thrive right under the nose of the Admiral's Guild?

Is it possible that the Admiral's Guild cannot distinguish right from wrong?

of course not.

The answer is, of course, that Admiral Ke Yuan was perfectly aware of what "measures" and "caution" meant.

Some things you can do, some things you can't do; some things you have to be careful about when you do them; some things you have to clean up after you're done; some things you have to let people know about; some things you have to never let anyone know about...

It is precisely because Ke Yuan strictly adheres to this set of rules of conduct that he has been able to thrive in Chapter 8 and even within the circle of high-ranking admirals, building his own "network of connections."

Admiral Ke Yuan genuinely did not believe that Admiral Lu Lin could possess any evidence.

Admiral Ke Yuan even boldly guessed that Admiral Lu Lin in front of him didn't even know what he had done.

Admiral Ke Yuan stared at Xiao Bai with utter mockery, as if the memory of bowing his head to apologize to her just moments before had vanished in an instant.

Seeing Admiral Ke Yuan's arrogant behavior, Xiao Bai sighed softly.

"Admiral Ke Yuan... Now that things have come to this, I am truly grateful to you." Xiao Bai suddenly said something out of the blue.

"Why are you thanking me?" Ke Yuan asked.

"I thank you for going through so much time and so many setbacks, yet you're still determined to cause trouble for me and Nia." Xiaobai said earnestly to Ke Yuan, "I also thank you for standing up just now and slandering me and Nia in front of everyone... because if you hadn't kept doing this, perhaps I wouldn't have felt this incredibly satisfying when I reported you."

"...?" Ke Yuan frowned.

bluff?

Just as Ke Yuan was about to ask a question, a clear, unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out in the center of the hall.

"Hey everyone! Look at me! Over here! I have something to announce!!!"

The voice appeared out of nowhere, as if it came from the void, which startled all the admirals present.

The admirals instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

Below the high platform, behind the top ten admirals, suddenly appeared a girl ship girl wearing a black top hat, with short pink mushroom hair, delicate and cute features, and a bright and sunny expression.

The top ten admirals seemed startled by the sudden sound around them. The five admirals quickly moved aside, looking at the girl ship girl next to them with surprise.

"Huh? Wait a minute... who are you?" Ling looked at the pink-haired ship girl with a curious expression.

"How did you get here? When?" Lian asked, pointing to her lips with a suspicious look.

Nanxing, Duan Shuiliu, and even Admiral Haoding all stared at the pink-haired ship girl with expressions of complete bewilderment.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you! I've been here all along!" the pink ship girl laughed loudly.

"It's always been there..." everyone asked, puzzled.

Everyone present looked left and right, and could see the deep doubt in the eyes of those around them.

The high platform where the top ten admirals were located was so conspicuous. The admirals present had clearly been observing it the whole time, but they were quite certain that there had only been the top ten admirals on the platform from the very beginning. The only ship girl who had ever appeared on that platform was just Admiral Haoding's secretary ship, Elizabeth.

Under everyone's gaze, the pink-haired ship girl raised her arm, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Ah...it feels so good to be noticed."

"This is Jean Bart, one of my ship girls." Xiaobai stepped forward and addressed the top ten admirals on the stage.

"Oh? So this is Admiral Lu Lin's ship girl?" Admiral Haoding looked at Jean Bart in surprise.

“Yes, the evidence I mentioned earlier is on her,” Xiaobai said.

"evidence……"

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, everyone turned to look at Jeanbart.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jean Bart cleared her throat, then raised her hand and pulled out a neat notebook from her ship equipment space.

offstage.

The moment Ke Yuan saw the notebook, his previously sneer suddenly vanished. He stared wide-eyed at Jean Bart as if he were dumbfounded.

In an instant, a large amount of sweat poured out of Ke Yuan's body. Ke Yuan's face was pale, his lips were open, and his legs were trembling, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"This...this is impossible...this...this is..."

"Ahem, ahem, next, my performance will be a recitation of poetry!" Jean Bart opened his notebook on stage and loudly read aloud, word by word, to the audience. "The title of the recitation is—Admiral Ke Yuan's Secret Notebook!"

swish swish swish swish swish —

Below the stage, countless admirals turned their gazes toward Ke Yuan.

"Admiral Chen Jian, Chen Jian Garrison Commander, male, ranked 81st in the world!" Jean Bart opened his mouth and shouted out the first item, "QQ number 8865xxxx123, lottery number cx1345xxx3876, ID card..."

Below the stage, a burly admiral stared wide-eyed, then suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and trembled as if he had thought of something terrible.

"Chen Jian? Isn't Chen Jian you?"

"All the information here seems to be about you."

"Old Chen, how did you end up in Admiral Ke Yuan's notebook?"

The admiral looked around, and the others asked curiously.

The admiral named Chen Jian lowered his head and kept swallowing.

At that moment, on stage, Jean Bart recited his second sentence.

"Admiral Zhang Tianyi! Tianyi Garrison Commander, male, ranked 52nd in the world! QQ number 7654xxxx231, Yaoyaoluohao..."

"Admiral Li Sui! Li Sui Garrison Commander, male, ranked 239th in the world! Penguin ID..."

"Admiral Liu Rui! Liu Rui, garrison commander, female, ranked 192nd in the world..."

"Admiral Lin Fei! Lin Fei Garrison Commander, male, world ranking..."

"Admiral Cai Han..."

"..."

Jean Bart kept reading out the names of the admirals in the audience, including their world rankings and various identification documents.

Jean Bart read for nearly ten minutes, reciting information about dozens of admirals in one go.

During Jean Bart's reading of the script, several admirals in the audience frequently convulsed and looked around in panic.

"Strange... If this notebook belongs to Admiral Ke Yuan, why would he write so much information about other admirals in it?" The admirals who hadn't been named looked at the ones whose names had been called with a puzzled expression.

The admirals whose names were called all lowered their heads, their foreheads sweating with nervousness.

at last.

Jean Bart, who was reading the names on stage, seemed to have finished reading them. She paused slightly and continued turning the pages of her notebook.

"...That's all! A total of eighty-six admirals, eighty-one men and five women! All members were involved in assisting me in altering the first set of test questions for the research and construction machine during this eighth chapter of the Holy Construction Day!" Jean Bart read aloud. "This record, in addition to confirming the member details, also serves as a record of the latest developments in human relations and member information as the leader of this operation, providing leverage for forcing them to act in concert and further manipulating them in the future! Below is the daily report of the working group and a detailed list of expenses for copying paper..."

After Jean Bart said that.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence once again.

All the admirals who hadn't been called out looked at the admirals next to them who had been called out with shocked expressions, and then looked at Ke Yuan on the high platform.

At this moment, Ke Yuan's eyes were empty and his face was ashen.

"What...what did I just hear? These eighty-odd admirals...colluded with Admiral Ke Yuan to tamper with the content of the first set of scientific research exam questions??"

"Holy crap! I remember now, several of these eighty-odd people are the ones who copied the test questions from the sea for us for free and then distributed them to us!"

"Damn it, the first set of research questions they sent me was fake!!!"

"Damn it, I knew there were a few questions I just couldn't solve!"

"That Ke Yuan is a real bastard!"

"You eighty-odd bastards are also accomplices to the tyrant!!!"

"Damn it—even though I definitely won't get the research shipgirl, I hate being lied to the most!!!"

A violent surge of sound instantly erupted in the hall.

Each admiral glared angrily at the admiral next to them who had been named.

The admirals who were named trembled all over, their faces turning red amidst the frantic accusations from all around them. Some of them wished they could disappear into the ground.

Occasionally, a few admirals who were called out raised their heads, glaring at Ke Yuan with almost bloodshot, angry eyes, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

On the high platform, the top ten admirals all frowned and looked at Ke Yuan.

"This notebook, is it Ke Yuan's?" Duan Shuiliu turned to the side and asked Jean Bart.

“That’s right. All the words on this are handwritten by him. My admiral said that you can identify the owner by handwriting, right?” Jean Bart handed the notebook to Duan Shuiliu.

"..." Duan Shuiliu silently took the notebook, flipped through a few pages, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"Duan Duan, Duan Duan!" Ling approached Duan Shuiliu and asked curiously, "What else is written on this?"

"...It describes how Ke Yuan used his weakness to threaten some admirals of naval bases into cooperating with him, sending them to battle as substitutes to earn merits." Duan Shuiliu flipped through a few more pages. "Hmm...there's also the story of him obtaining merits and money from other naval bases, forcing other naval bases to kidnap ship girls from them to increase their combat power, and conspiring with admirals ranked higher in the world to suppress some lower-ranked admirals...all of these took place in Chapter Eight, and they seem to be the latest records."

"Huh? How long has Chapter 8 been going on? And they've already done so many bad things?" Ling said, covering her mouth.

"Why would he keep a diary if he did something bad?" Lian asked, puzzled.

“Who keeps a diary if they’re a decent person?” Ling said again.

“Bad guys always keep a diary. My admiral said it’s called a sense of accomplishment!” Jean Bart explained.

"Moreover, this notebook doesn't just look like a diary; it's also a handle that Admiral Ke Yuan uses to threaten other admirals," Admiral Hao Ding said. "It contains many records of his illegal dealings with other admirals. Perhaps it's because of these things that he can easily order those admiral friends around."

"..." Duan Shuiliu frowned and glanced at the notebook in her hand.

It's a full finger thick.

Duan Shuiliu put down her notebook, and when she looked at Ke Yuan again, her gaze was serious and cold.

It was as if I were looking at a dead person.

Chapter 2846 Identity Exposed

"Ke Yuan, did you write the contents of this notebook?" Duan Shuiliu gently raised the notebook in his hand and calmly asked Ke Yuan below the stage.

The sound of the flowing water was very calm.

An unusual calm.

It was so calm it was chilling.

It was as if it were a soliloquy of some kind of sentencing, devoid of any emotion.

The banquet hall, which was noisy and filled with insults just a moment ago, fell silent the instant Duan Shuiliu spoke, as if a mute button had been pressed. All the admirals in the hall lowered their heads and fell silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Silence fell.

Everyone present was well aware that if the contents of the notebook in Duan Shuiliu's hand were true, then the consequences awaiting Ke Yuan would be a terrible one.

Ke Yuan himself was certainly aware of this.

Therefore, the moment Duan Shuiliu asked the question, Ke Yuan quickly raised his pale face and stared wide-eyed at the top ten admirals.

"No! This isn't mine! I don't know anyone named here!" Ke Yuan shouted frantically. "This is a frame-up! This must be a frame-up! I urge the top ten admirals to see the truth!!!"

"So you mean you refuse to admit that the contents of this notebook were written by you?" Duan Shuiliu's expression remained unchanged. She simply lowered her hand holding the notebook and calmly said to Ke Yuan, "In that case, I will take this notebook to the Admiral's Guild and have their most professional handwriting expert examine the handwriting. At the same time, I will also search the notebook for dandruff, hair, and other DNA samples to find the true owner of this notebook."

"..." Ke Yuan's arms trembled.

"In addition," Duan Shuiliu raised his head and looked at the admirals below the stage, "the eighty-six admirals who were just mentioned in this notebook, please come with me to the Admirals' Guild for investigation after the banquet."

wow-

The admirals below the stage, especially the one whose name had just been called out, felt dizzy and weak-kneed when they saw Duan Shuiliu's calm face.
