Chapter 68 Blame

He saw a detonator fuse burning on the ground, the sparks spitting out like poisonous snakes, rapidly approaching the detonator. Lin Feng's pupils dilated instantly, and he cried out in his heart: "Oh no!"

It was too late to extinguish the fuse, so Lin Feng didn't hesitate at all, instantly unleashing all his Qi. He rushed towards Qu Jing, shouting, "Be careful!" At the same time, he grabbed Qu Jing and used all his strength to fly out.

Just as they flew out of the house, a deafening explosion erupted. The entire house shook violently, and then, with a loud boom, it was shattered into pieces. A raging fire instantly erupted, illuminating half the sky. The detonators placed inside exploded, and the materials inside also burned in the fire, emitting a pungent smell and billowing smoke.

Lin Feng and Qu Jing fell heavily to the ground. Lin Feng felt his vision go black and his head buzz. He struggled to open his eyes and vaguely saw Xu Tian rushing towards him like crazy, shouting his name: "Lin Feng! Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng tried to respond, but his throat seemed blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound. His vision grew increasingly blurry, and his head felt heavier. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he slowly closed his eyes and passed out.

In his coma, Lin Feng seemed to be in a dark world. The man in black appeared in front of him again, and his laughter echoed in his ears like a ghost. Lin Feng tried desperately to catch him, but he couldn't reach him. He could only watch the man in black walk away in the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng slowly woke up and found himself lying on a clean bed, surrounded by familiar faces. Xu Tian looked at him with concern, his eyes filled with worry and joy.

"You finally woke up, Lin Feng. We were so worried." There was a hint of excitement in Xu Tian's voice.

Lin Feng struggled to sit up, but the pain all over his body made him gasp. He frowned and looked at Xu Tian and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

Xu Tian replied: "It's been a day and a night. You should rest well and don't move around."

Lin Feng nodded, then fell into deep thought. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find the man in black and avenge this incident.

He was still hurting from the injury he sustained in yesterday's explosion. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his mind.

"Lin Feng, the marshal sent someone to invite you." Xu Tian's voice came from the door with a hint of worry.

Lin Feng's heart sank. He knew what this meant. Two mistakes, especially the second one, which destroyed the entire studio and caused a fire. It would be strange if the marshal wasn't furious. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

"I understand, Xu Tian. Don't worry, I will face it." Lin Feng said, got up from the bed and began to tidy up his clothes.

Xu Tian looked at Lin Feng, his eyes full of concern: "Lin Feng, do you really want to go? The Marshal might punish you severely."

Lin Feng smiled and patted Xu Tian on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will be fine. I made a mistake, so I should take responsibility."

Lin Feng arrived at the hall of the Marshal's Mansion. Everyone looked at him seriously. His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Kneel down!" General Li Hua shouted loudly.

Lin Feng did not resist. He knew that his position in the Marshal's Mansion was low, so he could only obey orders. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and waited for the Marshal's judgment.

The Grand Marshal sat at the head of the table, his face gloomy and silent. Li Hua stood aside, constantly blaming Lin Feng for his mistakes.

"Lin Feng, do you know how big a mistake you made? You made two mistakes, not only losing a large amount of supplies, but also almost killing yourself and other craftsmen. Your behavior is simply an insult to the Marshal's Mansion!" Li Hua's voice was full of anger.

Lin Feng lowered his head, not daring to look Li Hua in the eye. He knew he was wrong, so he didn't argue, but just silently endured Li Hua's scolding.

"General Li, I know I was wrong. I am willing to accept any punishment." Lin Feng said in a low voice.

"Hmph, do you think an apology will help? Do you know how much trouble this explosion caused? The entire studio is gone, and a huge fire broke out. If it hadn't been put out in time, the consequences would have been disastrous." Li Hua became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.

Lin Feng's heart tightened. He had not expected that this explosion would cause such serious consequences. He began to regret his carelessness and began to worry about his own fate.

"General Li, I would like to ask, how many detonators are there in the studio?" the Grand Marshal suddenly asked.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Twenty."

"Twenty?" Li Hua's eyes lit up. "So many detonators, they can actually blow up the entire studio. This power is too great."

The Grand Marshal nodded and said, "This also indirectly proves the power of detonators. If we can use this weapon on the battlefield, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the enemy."

Li Hua listened and quickly agreed, "The Marshal is right. Lin Feng, although you made a mistake this time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. You must make good use of this opportunity to improve the manufacturing process of the detonator and make it our secret weapon."

Lin Feng was delighted. He had not expected the Grand Marshal to think so highly of him. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Marshal. I will definitely work hard to improve the manufacturing process of the detonator to make it safer and more reliable."

"However, Marshal, I think this matter is a bit strange." Li Hua suddenly frowned and said, "How could twenty detonators suddenly explode? I suspect someone deliberately framed Lin Feng and wanted to stop him from making detonators."

Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this. He also began to wonder if he was being framed. If that was the case, then the person who framed him must be a spy from the enemy country.

"General Li, do you have any evidence?" asked the Grand Marshal.

Li Hua shook his head and said, "There's no evidence yet. But I'll send someone to investigate. Until the investigation is complete, we must strengthen the management of the warehouse and strictly prohibit anyone from sabotaging it."

The Grand Marshal nodded and said, "You are right. We cannot let the enemy's conspiracy succeed. Lin Feng, you must also be careful and don't give the enemy any chance to take advantage of you."

"Lin Feng, although you made a mistake this time, considering your past merits, I have decided to give you a lighter punishment," the Grand Marshal said. "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. I want you to accept the punishment of thirty lashes as a warning."
