CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: SON, YOUR VEST FELL OFF 2

Ye Shen, utterly captivated by Wang Erya’s personal charm, was already talking up the competition to the point of downplaying his own team’s chances.

"Besides, I think with that little cheetah Wang Erya around, the outcome of tomorrow’s match between our Atlantis Team and the Mu Continent Team seems a bit uncertain."

Mo Yinhe was not too concerned about the outcome of the competition. Scouting for talent was what Mo Yinhe desired most.

"I’ll go watch tomorrow’s final. If he’s truly skilled, I’ll poach him for focused training."

Ye Shen snapped his fingers. "Brother, once you see him, you’ll definitely be impressed. I guarantee it! Wang Erya is absolutely the one with the most potential among all the players who’ve emerged this year. It’s just his name... I really don’t know what his parents were thinking—it’s such a casually chosen name."

So, Mo Yinhe went to watch the competition the next morning. Si Mingjing, having nothing else to do, went along with him. Ye Shen and Ye Siyuan were also there. The four of them sat in the VIP seats, watching the ultimate showdown between the Atlantis Team and the Mu Continent Team.

After the members of both representative teams took the stage, Ye Shen pointed to a man in the Mu Continent Team. He had an ordinary-looking, square face and small eyes. "Brother, that’s him, Wang Erya," Ye Shen said. "Don’t be fooled by his short stature—he’s only one meter sixty—but when he pilots a spaceship, he is absolutely the most ferocious little cheetah."

Mo Yinhe cast a casual glance. He really does look too ordinary. Standing among his teammates, he doesn’t stand out at all.

Once the competition began, the members of each team entered their respective simulation cabins. Each team consisted of five members, and each member entered an individual simulation cabin. Once inside the cabins with the doors closed, the audience could no longer see what was happening within. They could only follow the status of the piloted spaceships via the large screens at the competition venue.

Because Ye Shen had spoken so highly of Wang Erya, Mo Yinhe paid extra attention to him, wanting to see his expertise. Others couldn’t see inside the simulation cabins, but Mo Yinhe possessed Clairvoyant Eyes, which allowed him to see through the simulation cabins and observe every move Wang Erya made inside.

The competition was about to start. Each team member entering the simulation cabins was busy making adjustments and preparations, and Wang Erya was no exception. After entering the spaceship simulation cabin, Wang Erya started the system and began his adjustments. Then, he entered a string of remote control codes into the main computer of the simulation cabin. Once the code was entered and successfully matched, the simulation cabin for his spaceship was now under remote control.

Mo Yinhe saw everything clearly. His admiring gaze instantly turned sharp and cold. Someone is cheating in an international competition?

Mo Yinhe scoffed, "HEH..."

Ye Shen, sitting next to Mo Yinhe, asked, "Brother, what are you scoffing at?"

"Nothing."

Mo Yinhe didn’t make a scene; he was a hunter with great patience. Someone dared to cheat right under his nose! This is getting interesting.

Mo Yinhe leaned over to Si Mingjing and whispered something in her ear.

Si Mingjing was slightly startled. Then, her dark pupils turned a radiant golden color. Si Mingjing also activated her Clairvoyant Eyes, wondering if what Mo Yinhe had said was true.

Unexpectedly, once the competition began, she indeed saw Wang Erya sitting in the simulation cabin, doing nothing. However, the control interface of the console in front of him was being remotely operated.

Si Mingjing, surprised and disdainful, whispered, "Cheating in a competition? Should we expose it?"

After pondering for a moment, Mo Yinhe said, "You stay here and keep an eye on him. I’ll go find out who’s controlling it remotely."

Si Mingjing nodded. This cheating is disgraceful! It must be investigated!

Mo Yinhe remained calm and composed. He stood up and left the VIP seats.

Ye Shen asked, "Brother, where are you going? Aren’t you watching anymore? Don’t you think Wang Erya’s skills are good?"

"Just going to the restroom." Mo Yinhe casually made up an excuse.

Ye Shen sounded disappointed. "SIGH, why go to the restroom now? At a time like this, even if you really have to go, you should hold it in!"

Mo Yinhe ignored Ye Shen and walked straight out.

After leaving the competition venue and reaching the exit, Mo Yinhe gestured. Fengjue approached and said, "Your Excellency."

Mo Yinhe whispered a few instructions to Fengjue. Fengjue nodded and immediately went to take care of it.

In less than five minutes, Fengjue returned to report. "Your Excellency, I’ve found it. This is the IP address for the remote control; it’s located within this very competition building."

Mo Yinhe was very interested in the person remotely controlling Wang Erya’s spaceship simulation cabin, as their technical skills were indeed impressive.

With long strides, he commanded, "Lead the way!"

He wanted to go in person to unearth this talent! The cheating was real, but so was the skill! Only, this skill didn’t belong to Wang Erya; it belonged to someone else.

Fengjue bowed his head and led the way with several guards. Following the IP address, they located a lounge. Several guards were also stationed at the entrance to the lounge. Those guards tensed up, their expressions turning solemn and vigilant as they saw Mo Yinhe’s group approach.

Fengjue recognized the insignia on the other guards’ uniforms. "Your Excellency," he reported, "those are Crown Prince Lisao’s guards."

Hmph, Si Lisao certainly has some nerve, Mo Yinhe thought with contempt. To resort to such despicable tactics, hiring a substitute pilot just to win the competition... It’s truly shocking.

Mo Yinhe walked straight up to the entrance of the lounge. Two guards blocked his way.

Mo Yinhe shot them a sidelong glare. "Out of the way!"

"Crown Prince Yinhe, our Crown Prince is resting inside. If you have business with him, please wait until I’ve announced you..."

Before the guard could finish, Fengjue and two of his men engaged them. While the guards were entangled, Mo Yinhe strode forward and kicked open the lounge door.

"Si Lisao, you’ve got some nerve!"

Mo Yinhe strode in across the carpet, his voice cold as he called out. However, Si Lisao was nowhere to be seen in the room. Mo Yinhe stood in the lounge, his aura sharp and chilling, his eyes narrowed as he stared at a spaceship simulation cabin in the room.

He strode over and yanked open the door of the simulation cabin. He knew someone was in there piloting remotely, and he’d even come hoping to scout talent, but...

He had never, ever imagined that the one remotely competing inside would be a child!

Mo Yinhe’s towering figure stood before the child. The boy, however, was completely oblivious. He wore headphones and goggles, entirely immersed in the competition, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with his teammates. One moment he was attacking an enemy team, the next he was rapidly traversing interstellar space—his maneuvers were as fierce as a tiger’s!

This child was none other than Gu Shurong, the boy Mo Yinhe himself had kidnapped just two days prior!

Mo Yinhe could never have imagined that the ’ferocious little cheetah’ was actually a five-year-old child!

Look at other people’s children, and then think of his own little brat! Mo Yinhe suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, overcome with the fierce urge to go back immediately and give his son a thrashing!

At that moment, Gu Shurong, the chubby little boy, finally sensed someone nearby. He turned his head and saw Mo Yinhe’s chilling presence. Gu Shurong was so frightened his little backside clenched, and he yelped, his face draining of color, "OH, MAMA! I-I messed up!"

The little boy was so terrified he completely forgot he was still in the middle of the competition! He scrambled to get away.

Just as the spaceship he was piloting was about to crash into an asteroid, Mo Yinhe snatched the little boy up as if he were a chick and plopped him back into the pilot’s seat.

His voice was cold and deep. "Enough with the ’mama’! Continue!"
