The poster of the entire post was complaining about his bad luck. He revealed a lot of information in the post, such as his mother was his step-wife and his half-brother's mother was his original wife, and his half-brother had been at odds with him since childhood.
Moreover, his half-brother resigned after framing him, but his brainchild was now named after his half-brother and he could never get it back.
Although he censored his information, there were only so many researchers in the First Research Institute, and there was a pair of half-brothers, whose elder half-brother resigned a few months ago. Based on clues, the identities of the poster and the vicious half-brother mentioned in the post were quickly confirmed.
They were Marshal Ruan Ming’s first wife and two sons, Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang has a low-key personality, and he believes that there is nothing in his previous job that requires him to be promoted as an Internet celebrity. Therefore, Ruan Tang is unknown to most ordinary netizens.
But Ruan Xi was different. As a luck plunderer, he needed a lot of reputation and the love of others to maintain his halo. Therefore, he started to show off his life and work on major social networking sites a long time ago. With the identities of Marshal Ruan Ming's son, a researcher at the First Research Institute and a noble omega, he built himself an image of a high-profile omega.
He has attracted countless fans who yearn for his life and adore him.
His fans even respectfully call him Dr. Ruan, and he is a social media celebrity with a certain degree of fame.
After it was revealed that the poster might be Dr. Ruan, whom they respected, a group of Ruan Xi's fans were instantly furious.
People kept coming to Ruan Xixing's blog to ask about this matter: "Dr. Ruan, is this true? You posted that message, and your half-brother stole your research results, and he also falsely accused you of seducing his husband?"
"Fuck you! Our Dr. Ruan is living a peaceful life, yet someone is bullying him..."
"I thought the First Research Institute was a holy place for scientific researchers, but I didn't expect something like this to happen here? The world is really going downhill and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be."
"Dr. Ruan, was your experiment really stolen by someone else? This is too dark. Your brother is simply a cancer in the industry."
"Is it true? Dr. Ruan, is this really true?"
"I thought the First Research Institute was the most peaceful place, but they actually allow such a thing to happen by using power to coerce people."
"It's so disgusting. Is it the decline of morality or the corruption of human nature... I found out that the brother of Researcher Ruan, Ruan Tang, resigned from the First Research Institute three months ago. His current husband is the famous lunatic Duke Austin, who is notorious in the Imperial Star. Even after resigning, she still wanted to steal other people's research results and put her own name on them. Afterwards, she was not convinced and asked her husband to retaliate against them. It's really disgusting!"
"This Ruan Tang is indeed as vicious as her husband."
…
Although many people were indignant, there were still rational people who took a wait-and-see attitude at first: "Everyone calm down first, this matter has not been confirmed yet. Maybe the poster made it up, and it's not certain that it was Dr. Ruan Xi and his brother. Don't rush to scold, let's find out the truth first."
"+1 This Ruan Tang has already resigned, why is he still trying to steal the research results?"
"That's right, we shouldn't make any comments on things that we don't understand..."
But all of this changed after internet celebrity Ruan Xi posted a post.
The reason was simple. It was because Ruan Xi had posted a design drawing of the sword cannon he designed and other sketches of related parameter data, as well as a photo of notes related to the new mecha C902 plan. After censoring the confidential parts, he added the text: "You will never imagine that sometimes the person who hurts you the most will be the one closest to you."
It seems like he didn't say anything, just a blog post about his mood, but combined with various rumors and his accompanying pictures... it seems to have confirmed everything...
This was a trap that Ruan Xi had set for Ruan Tang a long time ago. This was also the fastest way he could think of to ruin Ruan Tang's reputation, plunder his luck and repair his own halo.
He had originally planned to use this trap to deal a fatal blow to Ruan Tang later, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
Now is the interstellar age, and what people pay most attention to is the protection of intellectual property rights and various patents. What they can least tolerate is things like plagiarism and stealing experimental results.
Because as social classes become increasingly differentiated, relying on knowledge and abilities to help oneself cross classes has become the only way out for the working class.
If scientific research successes and intellectual property rights can also be stolen, how can they see any hope and possibility for their future?
Everyone in the entire galaxy hates and pays great attention to things like plagiarism and stealing experimental successes.
Once such a thing is confirmed, in order to ensure the operation of the system and the authority of the imperial law, all those who have done such things will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will never be able to set foot in the industry again for the rest of their lives. Even if you are a noble with a high position and power, you will not be immune...
As soon as this incident happened, regardless of whether people knew Ruan Xi or not, they all added fuel to the fire and pushed the incident to the top of Xingbo's hot searches.
People soon found out from the information disclosure website of the First Research Institute that although Ruan Tang had already resigned, Ruan Tang's name was signed under the two major projects, the "Crocodile Tooth Sword Cannon" and the "C902 Mecha Improvement Plan", announcing the research plans for these two new weapons, so the credit for the experimental results was attributed to Ruan Tang.
Ruan Xi submitted his design manuscripts with the drawing time clearly indicated to the "Intellectual Property Arbitration Court", requesting the court to arbitrate the research results of these two things.
The incident was pushed to the top and caused an instant uproar.
Many indignant passers-by immediately started posting related topics such as #Support Dr. Ruan Xi in defending his rights##Relatives cannot steal research results##The First Research Institute should give Dr. Ruan Xi justice#, etc.
Many insiders who claimed to be Ruan Xi's friends also began to reveal various information on the Internet, such as Ruan Tang and Ruan Xi had never gotten along since childhood, Ruan Tang had always liked to rely on the fact that she was the original wife's child to abuse Ruan Xi and slander Ruan Xi's mother as a mistress to bully Ruan Xi, and when he was a researcher, he often caused trouble and targeted Ruan Xi again and again... and so on, a series of old-fashioned things that Ruan Xi's protectors have said so many times.
As for the matter about the research results, he had an influence on her. Before Ruan Tang resigned, she had a quarrel with Ruan Xi over these two research results. At that time, Ruan Tang felt justified and couldn't tell who stole whose research results. He only knew that Ruan Xi gave in in the end. At that time, they still thought that there was a real misunderstanding between the two people and their imaginations were similar by coincidence.
Now it seems that Ruan Tang relied on blood ties to put pressure on her family, causing Ruan Xi to give in.
During this time, Ruan Xi also had someone secretly wash away the fact that she tried to seduce Austin at the banquet but failed and was slapped in the face. In order to restore their reputation, the Shen family and Ruan Ming had already jointly pressured to destroy the video of that day. Except for the people who were present that day, no one knew what the truth was at that time. All they heard were rumors.
Ruan Xi was confident that he could clear himself of the matter, but because Austin was too crazy, he did not dare to offend him and make a fuss about it.
Therefore, he did not mention a word about it on his Star Blog, but he hired countless internet trolls to pretend to be friends and claim that they had seen what happened that day, how Ruan Tang and her husband, the notorious Duke Austin of Imperial Star, bullied the poor and helpless Ruan Xi.
Once someone who really knows the truth comes forward and says that Ruan Xi really seduced Austin that day and suffered the consequences, someone will come forward to defend herself and say that the other party is a troll who slandered Ruan Xi.
All the fans of Ruan Xi and indignant passers-by were furious with the mixed news and started to attack Ruan Tang crazily on the Internet.
"Oh my god, this is too vicious. How could Dr. Ruan Xi have such a brother? It's so terrible. How can there be such a vicious person in the world?"
"Dr. Ruan Xi is so miserable!"
"This Ruan Tang is so vicious. He has pushed the doctor to a desperate point, and he even wants to destroy the doctor's reputation. The doctor is living such a peaceful life, how could he have the heart to do that? He must be jealous, right?"
"Dr. Ruan seduced Ruan Tang's husband, the ugly duke who was so ugly and disabled that he could only wear a mask when going out. I just laughed. Dr. Ruan Xi was born well, was good-looking, and talented. How could she possibly be interested in an ugly and disabled lunatic? But Ruan Tang was really bold. She had such a good family background, but she even married such a person in order to climb up the social ladder. It can be seen that her own qualifications are not that good and can't be compared with Dr. Ruan Xi..."
"Brothers are so different, is it because they have the same father but different mothers? I heard that Ruan Tang's mother was born into a commoner family, but Dr. Ruan Xi's mother is a noble lady. They are indeed different..."
"That Ruan Tang must be very ugly, right? Otherwise, how could she be interested in such an ugly freak? These two ugly freaks are really a match made in heaven, don't let them out to harm others!"
Because it involved intellectual property rights and the nobles' use of their power to bully others, the matter became a big deal and at one point almost paralyzed Xingbo.
Everyone was clamoring for Ruan Tang to come out and respond to this matter.
The trend of insulting and supporting Ruan Xi is getting stronger and stronger.
Ruan Tang looked at the screen full of attacks against herself, and in her heart she admired Ruan Xi's good tactics.
The dispute between him and Ruan Xi over research results occurred half a year ago. At that time, Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang were in the same group and were both participants in the latest sword-body cannon modification and C902 design modification.
Ruan Tang was the first to come up with the idea and improvement of the sword-body cannon and c902, but before submitting the drawings, he accidentally lost them.
On the day when the drawings were submitted, Ruan Tang was surprised to find that the drawings he later redrawn were almost the same as Ruan Xi's, making it obvious that one of them borrowed from the other.
Moreover, Ruan Xi's drawings were two days earlier than the one he drew later, but Ruan Tang had reported the loss of the drawings earlier.
Therefore, it was difficult for Wen Run and the senior management of the research institute to determine who plagiarized whom. At that time, some people advised Ruan Tang to give in, but Ruan Tang had a clear conscience and naturally argued for his own hard work and refused to give in.
The two sides were arguing, but Ruan Xi gave in first.
However, even if Ruan Xi gave in, Ruan Xi was popular in the institute and everyone liked him. They believed that Ruan Tang was bullying him. Ruan Tang also had many difficulties in his work at the institute. People often pointed fingers at him and thought that he had stolen Ruan Xi's research results and forced him to do this.
Although Ruan Tang had a clear conscience, she was not comfortable in that environment. Ruan Ming was forcing her to get married at that time, so after finishing the things she was in charge of, Ruan Tang chose to resign without hesitation.
Ruan Tang originally thought that Ruan Xi's concession at that time was due to his guilty conscience, but he didn't expect that Ruan Xi was actually waiting for him here. It turned out to be a good plan.
However, he is no longer afraid of him and will not give in anymore.
Ruan Tang didn't even bother to tell anyone about this and just made a call: "Hello, is this Lawyer Zhang? Hello, I'm Ruan Tang... I have something to ask. I want to sue Ruan Xi and some other people for slander and defamation, and for damaging my and my husband's reputation."
"What's the situation here?"
…
After a detailed discussion with the lawyer, Ruan Tang called Duchess Elena again: "Hello, is this Duchess Elena? I'm Ruan Tang. Do you still have the surveillance video of Ruan Xi and Lord Austin at your house last time? I need to retrieve it now..."
"...No, no more, I deleted them all. Wasn't this matter handled then? Why do you want it now?" Mrs. Elena's voice was very embarrassed. Under pressure from Ruan Ming and the Shen family, she actually didn't want to hand the video to Ruan Tang.
When Ruan Tang heard his voice, she thought he might not have deleted it, and immediately said, "Really? Can't you help me find it? This is what the Duke wants."
"...Well, I'll look in the Recycle Bin and ask someone to restore the data. Maybe it's still there, but I can't guarantee it." Mrs. Elena was even more embarrassed. Under pressure from both sides, she weighed the pros and cons and finally felt that Auston was the one who was more difficult to offend and more terrifying.
Ruan Tang knew that she could probably get the video without any problems, so she quickly said, "Okay, thank you for your help. I'll be waiting for your good news. Just send the video to my personal terminal when the time comes."
This time, he would never give Ruan Xi the chance to step on him and throw dirty water on him again...
The one who teases first is the meanest. Since Ruan Xi is unwilling to let him go, don't blame him for being rude.
After dealing with all these things, Ruan Tang logged into her personal blog space, where she had only posted a few posts. Without any pictures, she directly posted a post: "The innocent will be cleared. For all the slander and defamation against me and my husband today, I will resort to legal means to resolve it."
It was telling Ruan Xi as well as everyone else.
Ruan Tang is not an internet celebrity, and he has never marketed himself. He is far less popular than Ruan Xi, and nothing actually got noticed when he posted his Star Blog.
Occasionally, a few of the close followers of Ruan Xi saw this and directly scolded him: "Haha, you are innocent, what do you mean? Do you have the nerve to say that you are innocent?"
"Dr. Ruan Xi has already applied for arbitration. The design sketch was produced at a clear time. If you are not convinced, bring out your evidence..."
"Plagiarism is plagiarism. Get lost if you steal other people's experimental results!"
…
Ruan Tang didn't care about these vicious and extreme words, she just wanted to use the weapon of law to defend herself.
At this time, Ruan Tang's former workplace, the First Research Institute, suddenly sent an official letter.
The content of the official letter was concise and powerful. It directly declared that Researcher Ruan Tang did not steal other people's experimental results while working in the institute. After unanimous appraisal by the top management of the institute, it was confirmed that the Sword Body Cannon and C902 experimental results were the personal hard work of Researcher Ruan Tang. Although Researcher Ruan Tang has resigned, the institute respects intellectual property protection and feels that it must speak out to protect Researcher Ruan Tang and the personal reputation of the institute at this time.
The information posted on the Internet by Researcher Ruan Xi about Researcher Ruan Tang's experimental results was stolen from him. This was confirmed to be false by the senior management of the institute and was an act of spreading rumors. After the "Intellectual Property Court Arbitration", the institute will study and decide on the accountability and punishment for Researcher Ruan Xi's false rumor-mongering behavior.
The First Research Institute firmly protects the intellectual property rights of every scientific researcher, and asks the general public not to spread rumors and go with the flow.
The announcement was also stamped with the official seals of the president of the First Research Institute and Chief Wen Run.
The moment Ruan Tang saw the official letter, he was stunned on the spot. His resignation from the First Research Institute was actually quite unpleasant. He never expected that the First Research Institute would issue an official letter on his behalf to target Ruan Xi at this time.
In particular, it is stamped with the official seal of Wen Run, one of Ruan Xi's flower-protecting messengers.
Ruan Tang was not the only one who was confused. Ruan Xi was in a state of panic. She called Wen Run and asked anxiously, "Wen Run, what's the matter with the official letter from the First Research Institute? What does it mean? Don't you trust me? How could you use an official seal like that? Did Auston force you to do that?"
"Have you also succumbed to the power of Bluebeard?" He felt that he had maintained a good relationship with the First Research Institute and Wen Run.
Therefore, when he was doing this, he never thought that the First Research Institute and Wen Run would drag him back at this time and stand up to speak in support of Ruan Tang at this time.
Ruan Xi thought that given his relationship with Wen Run, if Auston hadn't forced him, Wen Run would never do such a thing...
"Shouldn't you know what's going on, Researcher Ruan?" Wen Run felt extremely disgusted when he heard the voice and asked back in a cold voice.
In his previous life, he was blinded by his own paranoia and did not pay attention to the truth of the dispute between Ruan Tang and Ruan Xi. He was misled by Ruan Xi into thinking that Ruan Tang had really stolen and copied his design drawings.
Until he accidentally found Ruan Tang's lost drawings in the research institute. The drawings of the First Research Institute were all specially made. For the sake of military secrets, they could not be taken out of the research institute before the finished weapons were completed. Once they were taken out, an alarm would sound, and the time of completion of the drawings was clearly recorded on them, which could not be falsified.
He then realized that he and everyone else had misunderstood Ruan Tang.
But it was too late...
Thinking back to the previous life when Ruan Tang was slandered by Ruan Xi and her reputation was ruined, she was notorious and everyone wanted her to be punished, Wen Run felt regretful and heartbroken.
If he were to do it all over again, he would never give Ruan Xi the chance to hurt Ruan Tang again...
Therefore, the first thing he did when he came back was to find the blueprint, and he spent several consecutive nights repairing the surveillance data that was inexplicably damaged when Ruan Tang's blueprint disappeared.
The surveillance video told him that the person who stole Ruan Tang's drawings and hid them in that place was Ruan Xi.
Wen Run had just obtained all the evidence and had no time to make it public, but he did not expect that Ruan Xi would repeat the same trick so soon in this life, even much earlier than in the previous life.
Wen Run immediately took the evidence to the dean and many senior executives of the research institute and has been working on it until now.
In this life, he must return justice to Ruan Tang...
Ruan Xi panicked upon hearing this, feeling as if something had gone wrong. Her face turned pale and she asked in surprise, "...You, what do you mean?"
"Don't you know what I mean?" Wen Run paused and said coldly, "Who between you and Ruan Tang is the real plagiarist, and who is the real villain who filed the complaint first, don't you know?"
Ruan Xi didn't know what went wrong, and even her voice trembled: "Wen Run——"
"This time, I will let everyone see clearly who is the despicable plagiarist and who should be nailed to the pillar of shame and despised by everyone. Just enjoy it, Ruan Xi." Wen Run ignored Ruan Xi's struggle. He could not forgive Ruan Xi, just like he could not forgive himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give Ruan Xi a chance to beg for mercy. He just hung up the phone and put Ruan Xi on the blacklist...
As soon as the official letter from the First Research Institute came out, many of those who had been passionately cursing Ruan Tang as a plagiarist calmed down and took a wait-and-see attitude towards the incident.
Although there are a lot of rumors online, the First Research Institute still has a certain degree of credibility in people's minds...
Seeing that the First Research Institute was so confident and concluded that Ruan Tang did not steal Ruan Xi's research results, but instead it was Ruan Xi who was spreading rumors, they became unsure.
Even though there are still some trolls on the Internet who are shouting: "The Duchess of Austin has all the power in her hands and has used her power to suppress others, even a place like the First Research Institute has succumbed."
However, the voices of abuse against Ruan Tang were much smaller than before. Everyone was clamoring for the First Research Institute to provide clear evidence and conduct intellectual property protection arbitration as soon as possible.
