Chapter 62: Deceiving All of Humanity with a Live Broadcast from Above—The Audience is the Actor…

Chu Feng woke up from a nightmare with a start, opened his eyes abruptly, and sat up in bed, drenched in sweat.

His pupils trembled, clearly still unable to shake off the dream; his hands trembled slightly as he gripped the blanket tightly in front of him.

He found his throat incredibly dry, swallowed hard, reached for his phone, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment when he saw the time on it.

Ignoring the beads of sweat streaming down his forehead, Chu Feng jumped out of bed and rushed toward his superior's office.

On the way, he saw that familiar face, who was also looking uneasy. The moment their eyes met, they both realized that the other might have also foreseen something.

Leader: "...Come with me."

She led Chu Feng into a nearby conference room and got straight to the point: "What did you see?"

Chu Feng's voice was hoarse: "With the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain, the Si family of three became the target of public criticism."

"Madam Si died from the shock, and Si Zhongyuan and Si Qi were kidnapped by foreign forces."

"We tried to save them, but were blocked by various forces. Then a month passed, and countless spaceships arrived on Earth."

His eyes were bloodshot: "The protagonist of the Sky Curtain is all the Earthlings from the very beginning. After the arrival of the alien spaceship, it kept replaying what we did to the Si family in the sky, showing the ferocious and twisted side of the Earthlings."

The scene was so bloody and cruel that Chu Feng didn't dare to look up at it, both out of resentment and shame.

"The visitors from the Cosmic Alliance watched the replay and told us the truth. They said they had actually been watching the live stream from the beginning, and when they boarded the spaceship to try to save us Earthlings, they witnessed the entire process of us Earthlings harming our fellow humans. They said we are an evil and ugly race that disgusts all civilizations."

"So they took the Si family of three away, sealed off outer space on Earth, destroyed our energy resources, and trapped us here for life, never giving us a chance to contact the outside world."

"At that time, many people were shouting, pleading, and shifting blame to each other. Some even cursed the Si family of three..."

Chu Feng took a deep breath, unable to continue reciting the foul language from his memory: "Humanity is trapped in a cage, regretting day after day the opportunities that were once within reach. Knowing the limits after the blockade, knowing they missed the almost eternal lifespan and the technologically advanced and wonderful new era promised by the Heavenly Curtain, many people lost the motivation to continue striving, their spirits became extreme, society became chaotic, and many countries started wars..."

Perhaps, as the visitors from the Cosmic Alliance said, the Earthlings are a race that delights in starting battles, and whose civilization is entirely built on a history of war. Even though the alien Mu Zi had only a few contacts with the Earthlings from beginning to end, and only set up a celestial screen and exchanged a few words, humanity was still able to go to such extremes and commit so many inhumane acts, exposing its ugliest and most shameless side to the entire universe.

Who would willingly accept such a race into their own family? Even Chu Feng himself felt that such a profit-driven person who recklessly trampled on moral boundaries was beyond redemption, and he found it disgusting to even look at them.

In this incident, Ye Kingdom was already the most "kind" one. Even so, the troops sent out to provide support still encountered many obstacles.

The common people couldn't understand the government's actions, thinking it was foolish. They were risking public condemnation for three unnecessary scoundrels, even offending aliens, and missing out on many life-extending, novel, and precious technologies.

Everyone is protesting and cursing the authorities for being insane, saying that they are disregarding the wishes of ordinary people for the sake of the wealthy and powerful elite (the Si family), and that the soldiers who sacrificed themselves to save their compatriots are deserving of death as lackeys.

There was also much debate within the government about this, with many people opposing the rescue operation. Even though they knew that the Si family members were mostly innocent, they felt that the entire country was behind them and that they had a responsibility to over a billion people.

Thousands of soldiers have already sacrificed their lives to save three people, and the country has faced military threats from numerous nations and relentless condemnation from its own people. Risking offending aliens, missing out on advanced technology, and falling far behind other countries in every aspect, they embarked on this supposedly righteous rescue operation—were those three lives really that important?

When an old general who had made great contributions slammed his fist on the table and angrily said, "Then I'll take my life to be buried with that family of three, to atone for their sins in the afterlife, and to serve them like an ox or a horse, is that enough?!"

"I'd be willing to be torn to pieces in their place, and those soldiers were willing to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield to rescue their comrades. But why can everyone else die, but they can't?!"

"To run a country, there must be people with kind hearts and people with cold-blooded rationality! I am willing to be the bad guy, and I am willing to bear the infamy of selfishness!"

"I will not allow you to send any more people to rescue! That's an order!"

Similar voices have never ceased. Of course, there are those who covet benefits and use righteousness to oppress others, but there are also those who, though compassionate and deeply guilty towards the Si family, still insist on letting them die.

Very few people are as single-minded as Chu Feng and his leader; everyone knows that the probability of this operation succeeding is extremely low. Even if the Si family father and son are rescued, they won't live for more than a few years, and this action will even hinder the development of the entire country, becoming a target for attack by the world.

They simply couldn't swallow their anger and couldn't accept the outcome where justice had to bow to self-interest.

This time, three innocent civilians were sacrificed on a high platform to appease the "gods." But what about next time? Who will be next? Which city? Which country? Which group of people?

Human destiny should be fought for by humanity itself. Cutting-edge technologies will eventually be developed over time. Why choose to succumb to depravity for the sake of convenience?

Rather than saying that Chu Feng and his companions risked their lives to save their three compatriots, it would be more accurate to say that they were sacrificing themselves for their inner convictions, dying for the light within their souls.

The leader in front of Chu Feng, who was listening to Chu Feng's story, was one of the members of the Cosmic Alliance who, unable to face such a ridiculous ending, chose to commit suicide after leaving.

Like her, the old general also fell into depression, as did many high-ranking officials who thought they had made the right choice by being ruthless, but ended up dragging down the people of the whole country.

Everyone was overwhelmed by their inner sense of morality and unable to face their own ugly selves.

This, in turn, sent Mu Zi a large amount of negative energy that it thoroughly enjoyed, nourishing its body.

Looking at the pale face of the leader opposite him, Chu Feng asked, "Why would we dream about these things?"

The leader looked dejected. He found a chair and slowly sat down. His usually straight back was now bent as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on him.

She said wearily, "Perhaps... the Si family father and son who left Earth did something with alien power."

After the arrival of the Cosmic Alliance, the Earthlings witnessed many magical, fantastical races that seemed to exist only in legends.

They raised their hands and teleported the three members of the Si family, who were far away on the other side of Earth, to their front. With a single glance, they restored the person covered in large patches of white bones to their original state, extracted the memories (or soul) and body tissues from Si's mother's mind, and revived her in another healthy body that she had been raised in.

This has gone beyond the realm of "technology" and is more accurately described as divine magic.

At that time, almost every race that came off the spaceship went up to comfort the three victims, showing an extremely friendly attitude—so friendly that it was something that Earthlings could not understand.

So, it's not unbelievable that, at the request of the Si family, Chu Feng and others (who had helped them) could dream of the future ahead of time.

"Perhaps they want us to protect their family and prevent them from suffering such a fate... Or perhaps they want to thank us for our actions and hope that we can also board those spaceships..." The leader was too ashamed to say that the Si family wanted to change Earth's fate, to prove their "kindness" in front of the entire universe, and to avoid being imprisoned and sealed.

They're lucky they don't hate humanity to death.

"I'll lead a team to protect them right now—" Chu Feng paused, then changed his words, "I'll escort them to the base."

The leader sighed, nodded, and said, "We must protect them."

Before the outside world gets too emotional and starts calling for violence against the Si family, let's bring them back and take good care of them.

The leader stood up: "I'll go call a meeting with senior management."

This time, she was determined to tell the whole story and make everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.

Having already made the wrong choice once, we cannot repeat the same mistake.

...

After organizing the team to board the vehicle, Chu Feng recalled some details, picked up the communicator and said to his teammates, "Notify the public opinion department to temporarily suppress the video released by the Si family."

A teammate asked in confusion, "What video?"

Chu Feng: "They posted a clarification video on the company's account."

In the dream, Chu Feng learned a lot of information in order to rescue the Si family father and son, including the things the father and son did to clear their name of the slander.

Even if every word spoken by Si's family members and Si Zhongyuan's relatives in the video was true, these "so-called clarifications," compared to the large amount of false evidence Mu Zi had prepared beforehand, only fueled the anger of the deceived netizens.

They suspected that the Si family might have ganged up to slander Mu Zi in the past, driving her step by step to her doom.

Therefore, not only did the Si family become the target of public criticism, but many classmates and colleagues who stood up for the Si family also suffered a lot of cyberbullying and even offline attacks.

Judging by the timing, public opinion should have already escalated and begun to turn against the Si family. It would be better for the authorities to step in and stop it as soon as possible.

To everyone's surprise, the teammate still asked in confusion, "I didn't see any video."

"..." Chu Feng paused: "Didn't the Si family invite any friends to help clarify the situation?"

"No, they haven't responded at all."

Chu Feng's expression changed slightly. He took out his phone and searched for the Si family's company account, only to find that there were indeed no new updates.

"Contact them, but don't release any information. Wait for us to get there."

"Yes," the teammate replied quickly after putting down the communicator.

Chu Feng held his phone, his expression unreadable.

The sudden turn of events was beyond his expectations. Could it be that the Si family also foresaw the future in their dreams and experienced everything?

And their attitude toward Earth, and their attitude toward humans who gloated and wished for their deaths...

Chu Feng opened the live stream and saw that there were still hundreds of millions of people online in real time, discussing the black screen of the live stream with great enthusiasm.

"So Si Zhongyuan really did kill Mu Zi, right?"

"Definitely. Intimate photos and recordings of the two of them have surfaced online. How could it be fake?"

"Heh, Si Zhongyuan's friend is still saying the recording is fake, how disgusting."

"The whole world is watching this now. It's true that good news doesn't travel far in our Ye country, but bad news travels fast."

"The whole world? It's a disgrace that's been utterly shameful, down to another planet!"

"If you ask me, Si Zhongyuan is stupid. He gave up such a powerful alien and insisted on finding a rich and beautiful mistress. Can what that rich and beautiful woman gives be better than an alien? He's really short-sighted."

"Exactly. Even if we take a step back and say that Mu Zi is infatuated with Si Zhongyuan, it wouldn't be a problem if Si Zhongyuan found someone at home and someone else secretly outside, right? He insisted on marrying a rich and beautiful woman he had only known for a short time, which drove Mu Zi, who had been with him for so many years, to the brink of despair, forcing her to commit suicide and return to an alien planet."

"This treasure bowl practically fell into your arms, and you still insist on throwing it back? What an idiot!"

"If it weren't for that piece of trash Si Zhongyuan, if it were any other person with a conscience, our Earth wouldn't be like this now, and we would have already achieved technological advancement."

"Yes, after reading Mu Zi's love diary, I feel that she is quite innocent and has no guile at all. If you ask Mu Zi for help, she will most likely agree."

"I had seen TV dramas before about princesses who were stranded in the common world and were deceived by scumbags. I never expected that reality would be even more magical than TV."

"You're rich and powerful, having an affair with a wealthy heiress, and looking down on me, a 'commoner'? Well, I'll change my identity and reappear, making you regret it so much that you'll kneel down and beg me to spare your lives!"

"Hahahaha, yes, that's the taste, I'm already enjoying it."

"It is said that after the sky appeared, the Si father and son looked extremely grim and ran home without looking back."

"I think they're afraid of getting beaten up."

"Otherwise what? If you dare to do such a thing, you should bear the corresponding consequences. Being beaten is too lenient."

"That was a living person!"

"Si Zhongyuan should atone with his death."

"I hope Mu Zi won't hold a grudge against us because of Si Zhongyuan. We haven't done anything."

"Yes, my values ​​are still quite normal."

"With such conclusive evidence of Si Zhongyuan's infidelity, why hasn't the authorities arrested and sentenced him yet?"

"Cheating during a relationship isn't illegal, even though it's morally wrong."

"But he did indeed collude with those around him to bully Mu Zi, driving her to despair and commit suicide, right? Can't they arrest him for that?"

"Yes, Mu Zi left behind so many videos and recordings, many of which show that those people mentally abused her. This is more than enough evidence, isn't it?"

"Forget about evidence, all I want right now is to get the life-extending potion that Mu Zi mentioned, and live for a few hundred more years! I'll just throw Si Zhongyuan and his whole family into outer space to fend for themselves, why bother with all that?"

"Yes! That device that can manipulate the weather and predict natural disasters is really tempting..."

"And holography too!"

The live stream chat was filled with comments, and the viewers were chatting excitedly. Chu Feng's heart sank.

He was worried that the Si family members who had "returned from the dead" would see such content, which would make their already strained relationship even more irreparable.

Worried about any ill intentions, Mu Zi was now broadcasting live from Earth's side to the StarNet live stream, giving the new cosmic civilizations, who were making their first contact with Earth, an extremely negative impression of humanity.

And his prediction was clearly correct.

Mu Zi has been doing this ever since she opened the canopy.

The Dark Star people, who are considered cosmic vermin, attract the attention of major civilizations whenever they make a move.

Upon entering the Dark Star livestream room and realizing what Mu Zi was doing through the translator, they were extremely worried that this inferior civilization, which was being targeted by Dark Star, might encounter some misfortune.

Fortunately, this time Dark Star didn't put on any kind of gladiatorial arena, elimination-style survival trials, or give some heroes superpowers to save the world, only to tell the world that superpowers are the real culprits that caused the world's destruction, and then tell the natives to kill the heroes to avenge their deaths... It simply played a celestial screen and said a few seemingly plausible but actually provocative words.

Compared to other planets where the impact is often catastrophic, the situation of losing half the population at the outset is much better.

As for why they were so certain that what the Dark Starman said was provocation—that's because the speaker was a Dark Starman, a habitual liar who feeds on the suffering of intelligent beings, and enjoys creating conflict and killing to plunge the kind-hearted into an abyss of no return.

How could such a guy be infatuated, and how could he possibly have a true heart?

It's an obvious scam. If the people of this planet were to take a little effort to understand the situation, they wouldn't be misled by the Dark Star people's one-sided rhetoric.

Almost all civilizations are so certain of this.

This was absolutely the most childish "scam" they had ever seen Dark Star do.

This mentality persisted until the Earth's live broadcast room appeared, and various civilizations saw the comments made by the Earth's natives after they saw the sky.

Their hearts, which had initially been at ease, gradually tightened—

Wow! It's an alien! How cool!

"This woman is pretty, but unfortunately she's love-struck."

"Why didn't you come to me back then? I earn four thousand a month and I dote on my wife. After you have a child, you can take my whole family to outer space to enjoy life."

"So alien technology is so much more advanced than ours. Miss, could you take a clearer picture of the books in the library so I can record them? This is my chance to get rich."

There was only excitement and curiosity, with very little discussion about who was right and who was wrong, or whether the aliens were lying.

If the intelligent life on this planet generally enjoys gossip and doesn't care about the truth, that would be one thing, after all, different races have different ways of thinking. But when the local aliens followed the name "Mu Zi" to investigate what Mu Zi had done "before her death" and discovered that Mu Zi had "indeed" been deceived by a scumbag and committed suicide for love, they all began to speak out in defense of Mu Zi and denounce the Si family.

The various civilizations of the universe are beginning to bewilder them: "So, Earth is a race living in a virtual world? The truth is being determined entirely based on information from the internet?"

"No, they are carbon-based life forms, using living cells as carriers, making sounds by colliding chunks of flesh, and living entirely in the real world."

"Then why did they see a few videos and become so certain that what Mu Zi said was true? Only Mu Zi's actual actions can serve as evidence; the video recordings are very likely fabricated."

"Don't worry, I saw comments from the victim's friends and family in the live stream, saying that the Dark Star people are lying."

"Phew, that's good. Now the natives won't believe Dark Star's lies anymore."

"..."

"?"

"Why."

"Compared to their real-life compatriots, do they believe more the few fabricated videos left behind by the Dark Star people?"

"Perhaps they can't tell the video is fake and think it's real; their technology hasn't reached that level yet."

"Even if they believe the video is real, the real world cannot be altered just because of a few videos. There is plenty of evidence to prove that the video is fake, and those people have also come forward to emphasize that the video is a forgery."

"Perhaps the native inhabitants of this world generally have low IQs and cannot think of this level."

"No, they did. I saw several Indigenous people say that aliens have enough technology to create fake videos."

"...Then why?"

The various civilizations found it utterly incomprehensible that the Earthlings were thinking. The Dark Star conspiracy, which they thought could be easily cracked, was carried out on Earth with remarkable ease.

There is even a trend that it is getting worse.

"My God, they actually publicly encouraged the victims to have extramarital affairs, and even said they would throw the victims into outer space to die in order to obtain alien technology!"

"Are these really their compatriots?"

"That's terrifying."

"I can't even tell which side is the dark star."

“If it were an unintelligent beast doing this, it would be one thing, but they already possess civilization, and their intelligence is even sufficient to explore interstellar space.”

"Do we want to have contact with this kind of race in the future? I'm starting to feel scared."

"Let's not get into conspiracy theories. Every civilization in the universe is precious. We can't fall into the trap set by Dark Star. Perhaps this is a race full of intelligence. Knowing that their technology is inferior to that of Dark Star, they collectively created the illusion that they had been tricked to deceive the Dark Star people."

"I hope so too, but this Dark Starman lived on Earth for a period of time, so it should know the Dark Starman's level of intelligence, which is why it used such a trick to deceive them..."

"You're right."

“I’m afraid we’ll encounter a second Dark Star… Their comments are making me uneasy.”

“Honey, maybe you should leave the live stream and seek comfort from your family and friends.”

"Yes, let's leave here first and find a comfortable place to rest for a while. We'll take care of things here."

The focus of attention from various civilizations in the live stream shifted slightly for a moment due to the earlier comments, until the alien who felt mentally disturbed said he would leave, at which point everyone was relieved and continued to pay attention to this newly emerged civilization.

Unfortunately, what happened next made them feel more and more disappointed. The mindset of this new civilization was incompatible with theirs, who lived in the universe. Their words were like mental pollution, making many races feel uncomfortable.

No one from Earth went to the place in the real world where Mu Zi once lived to ask the people there whether what Mu Zi said was true or false. Even though Mu Zi lived there for more than 30 years and had contact with several thousand classmates, with so many witnesses, public opinion still overwhelmingly believed Mu Zi's one-sided account.

In particular, the comments from the Earth's native inhabitants during the live stream made no attempt to conceal their intention to curry favor with the aliens and offer sacrifices to the priest's family. Many mocked Si Zhongyuan as a fool.

This infuriated the major civilizations, who had chosen a path of peaceful and friendly development for billions of years under the threat of the Dark Star and had never experienced such an absurd situation.

But the streamer Mu Zi was still watching them with a smile, saying provocatively, "Since you dislike Earthlings so much, then don't go and save them~".

Of course they had to go and save them!

We must never again allow new civilizations to become breeding grounds for dark stars, causing countless intelligent lives to perish tragically.

As they had done countless times before, they suppressed their anger and stayed in the live stream, trying to pinpoint Earth's exact location in the universe through the live stream from Earth's side.

There's always a shot that can capture some clues about the starry sky.

Who knows, maybe the next second some alien will suddenly start a discussion about the universe, revealing part of their location.

Despite their desire to save the Earthlings, they grew angrier the more they read their comments.

The Earthlings actually suggested causing trouble for the victim, demanding that the victim come forward, admit their mistakes, and apologize to the Dark Star people!

Instead of seeking the truth from the people and places where Mu Zi lived, they traveled thousands of miles to the victims' homes, pointed cameras at their bedroom curtains, shouted at other people's homes, and threw garbage and filth into their homes!

This left many civilizations dumbfounded; the actions of the Earthlings truly exceeded their wildest imaginations.

If things continue as they are, they will witness, just like in the original timeline, the aliens breaking into the house, running up to Mrs. Si to humiliate and accuse her, and excitedly filming the "spectacular" scene of the victim gradually losing her life.

You'll also see the Si family father and son being kidnapped and taken to international waters, with the right to use the knife used to execute the Si family father and son being subjected to slow slicing auctioned live online. Each cut is sold for an astronomical price, and the auctioneer excitedly expresses his willingness to personally go to the scene to carry it out.

The entire internet cheered and applauded, creating a scene resembling purgatory.

Those were all things witnessed by these alien civilizations, and even by Chu Feng and others.

In the future, this will even be replayed again and again by the celestial curtain, ironically, when various civilizations in the universe arrive at Earth.

So at this moment, when the self-media outlets were eager to try, they began to physically ram the gate and attempt to climb over the railings to enter the villa.

The alien civilizations shouted "No!" in a panic, and one by one they had to leave the live broadcast room to prevent their negative emotions from providing nourishment for the dark star. Chu Feng led his team to the scene in time. The vehicles with their distinctive dark green paint brought many busybodies to their senses, and they subconsciously held up their phones and backed away.

The arrival of the authorities sparked a new wave of excitement online, with many people excitedly expressing that someone was finally coming to arrest these scoundrels. Various sensational terms such as "death penalty," "public sentencing," and "beheading" have been written and are just waiting to be released.

But the official attitude surprised everyone.

After getting out of the car, Chu Feng and the others, holding riot shields, walked directly towards the hundreds of onlookers and shouted, "Back off! No trespassing! What are you doing!"

Unlicensed "journalists": This, this isn't right, is it?

Someone shouted, "We just want to interview the person involved!"

"Yes, we have the right to know the truth!"

"Did they really kill people? They clearly caused someone's death, yet they're profiting from it and living in such nice houses. How can they live with themselves?"

"We just want justice!"

Officials completely ignored the group's claims, emphasizing that the area, including the surrounding mountains and forests, was land purchased by the Si family, and that they were illegally trespassing and illegally gathering.

Independent media outlets began to express their anger: "You're just protecting the rich!"

"How much money did the Si family spend to bribe you?"

"Family members (fans), come and see! This is the attitude of our Ye Kingdom! I am truly ashamed!"

A drone flew back from the villa's window, attempting to film Chu Feng and his accomplices up close, but Chu Feng shot it down with a pistol. The gunshot silenced everyone present for a second, as they stared in horror at the man with his arm raised high.

Chu Feng demanded sternly, "Do I have to repeat myself? Illegal gathering and trespassing on private property—this is the second warning! The third time, you'll be arrested immediately!"

Many people looked indignant and angrily said, "You're covering for someone!"

"We have the right to stand here, so why are you telling us to leave?"

"Go ahead and shoot us if you dare! There are so many cameras filming!"

Everyone talks a big game, but not a single one of them actually dares to break through the riot shields and come to provoke us.

Chu Feng coldly looked at the group of people, ordered his men to guard the door, and went in to meet the Si family of three.

Mrs. Si sat on the living room sofa, protected by her husband and children.

She had a congenital heart disease, and doctors advised her not to be exposed to any stress. As a result, she was pampered by her family and friends from a young age and had a very gentle personality. She did a lot of charity work, but unexpectedly, she suffered such a tragedy in middle age.

She couldn't help but want to know what was happening outside and wanted to do something, but her father, Si Qi, took her phone away beforehand and gently comforted her.

But the expressions on the faces of the housekeepers and servants, and the occasional glances they gave her, still made her realize many things.

Moreover, the sky screen will soon open on time as predicted last night, and she, hiding in the house, will still be able to hear and see it, watching the one-sided live broadcast from the sky, unable to convey any rebuttal.

When the officials entered the villa, Madam Si turned pale and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"

She held her husband and son's hands tightly, instinctively trying to pull them behind her: "Those are all slanders. You'll know once you investigate."

Si Zhongyuan looked at Chu Feng warily. Having experienced so many false accusations since childhood, it was hard for him not to think the worst.

The allure of alien technology is simply too great. It forces confessions, tortures people so they can't even speak out... Humans have countless ways to coerce another person.

His wife was frail and his children were young. Even for their sake, Si Zhongyuan was prepared to confess his crimes and stand up to take responsibility.

Si Qi, the youngest among them, remained silent, simply watching Chu Feng. This caused the man who had been secretly observing the Si family of three to feel a slight unease, and he subconsciously focused more attention on Si Qi.

The couple immediately shielded Si Qi behind them, glaring at him angrily.

Chu Feng: "..." He really didn't come here to be the villain.

Chu Feng softened his expression, walked over, bowed, and went straight to the point, saying what the Si family cared about most: "The authorities know that you have been wronged."

Si’s mother and Si’s father: “…”

Chu Feng: "I've come here to escort you to a safe place and prevent anyone from harming you."

Mrs. Si, being simple-minded, breathed a sigh of relief and asked expectantly, "Really?"

"You mean you've uncovered the truth of what happened back then and have obtained evidence?" Mr. Si remained skeptical, asking for more details in a serious tone: "If that's the case, why not release it?"

Who knows if Chu Feng was just saying nice things to lure them away so that he could easily manipulate them after they fell into his hands?

Chu Feng: "Our investigation at Mu Zi's home revealed a large amount of your DNA (semen) traces."

Mrs. Si's face turned pale, while Mr. Si, protecting his wife, was furious and on the verge of exploding: "Am I crazy?! I've never even had contact with her!!"

Chu Feng: "Yes, the other evidence we have investigated proves that you have never had any contact with her in recent years."

Si's father frowned.

“But the DNA does match yours,” Chu Feng said. “We haven’t released this information, but we can’t keep it a secret any longer.”

There are too many hurdles in the investigation process that could lead to intelligence leaks. Not everyone firmly believes in Si Zhongyuan and is willing to change the test results and suppress everything for him.

People will hear about this sooner or later.

As Si Zhongyuan said, revealing the truth that contradicts public perception immediately will only make people think that the government is supporting the rich.

These days, there are many people who don't believe court verdicts, ignore the victims' situations, and don't bother to look at witnesses or physical evidence. They just use their own assumptions to speculate about everything and firmly stand on the side of the perpetrator. For example, when a domestic abuser who beats his wife to death makes the news, many people will say that the wife must have cheated on him, causing him to commit the crime, thus smearing the deceased and whitewashing the murderer.

Moreover, many people don't actually care who's right or wrong; they simply want longevity potions and holographic technology, and they'll insist on labeling even white people as black. These are the main forces controlling public opinion. Because they're intelligent, they know how to incite and manipulate those who believe everything they hear to achieve their goals.

Therefore, there is little need to explain or not; it will only complicate matters and ignite greater conflict. It is more important to remain silent and protect people.

Father Si frowned, fearing he was sending himself into the lion's den and finding it difficult to make a decision. Si Qi advised, "Let's leave here first."

Mrs. Si: "Yes, those people outside are too fierce."

Father Si rubbed his face dejectedly and said with self-reproach, "It's my fault for dragging you all down with me."

Mrs. Si: "Don't say that. You didn't do anything wrong."

This is your loved one. How can you criticize your partner because of the mistakes of outsiders and become the knife that hurts them the most?

"The truth will eventually come out, won't it?" Madam Si looked at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng nodded solemnly: "It definitely will."

He discovered that neither Si's parents seemed to have awakened memories or dreamed about the future.

So, could the reason for the change (the lack of a clarification video) be Si Qi?

Si Qi looked at him with a blank expression, and Chu Feng was momentarily at a loss.

This is not the expression one would have after being subjected to a thousand cuts.

He and his subordinates carefully escorted the three away. The crowd outside, noticing the commotion, immediately stirred, shouting and cursing.

Si's father held his wife and kept comforting her.

Mrs. Si's eyes were red-rimmed as she kept saying, "They've gone too far! How could they do this? You clearly didn't..."

The group quickly got into the car.

The vehicle started quickly, and the crowd chased after it, holding up their phones and even using drones to pursue the military vehicle.

This behavior has violated the law, and several more gunshots rang out as several overly arrogant individuals were arrested.

The deafening clamor in the live stream finally subsided when a few individuals were pinned to the ground and handcuffed. Even those who recklessly pontificate online know the power of the law.

The official announcement that followed served as a warning to many who were trying to incite trouble. Those public accounts that were spreading rumors about the arrest of Si's family members stopped trying to capitalize on the situation and quietly deleted the posts that almost trended on social media.

The situation seemed to be improving, and the alien civilization cheered: "Wow, it turns out that the Earthlings are still quite rational. I almost thought we were going to die when I saw what happened just now."

"Yes, yes, thankfully they were protected. When I saw the victim's family of three crying, I also shed tears."

"Who can argue with that? Indeed, there is still more light in this world."
