The people who moved out of the Li family were useless, so Lin Ran, the stepmother, moved in people from outside.
One hundred thousand people lost their jobs because the Li family's company went bankrupt?
Li Ze fell silent. This matter was beyond his comprehension, and he subconsciously turned to look at He Xingjue.
“We don’t have that much cash on hand. If Madam Li wants 2 billion, why not take out a mortgage loan from the bank? The real estate on Zhuque Star is the most valuable, so the bank should be able to lend money soon,” He Xingjue said calmly. “Besides, if you really care about the livelihoods of those 100,000 people, why not change the ownership of the company? If you can’t manage it well, then let someone who can manage it take over.”
After saying that, He Xingjue ended the call without waiting for Li Zonghe and Lin Ran's reactions.
"Come and eat, or it'll get cold," He Xingjue called to Li Ze.
That evening, Li Ze and He Xingjue enjoyed fine food and wine at sea under the stars, while Li Zonghe posted an article on StarNet announcing his severance of ties with Li Ze.
In his article, Li Zonghe accused his eldest son of being heartless and ungrateful, disregarding family ties and sibling affection, and unworthy of being a son or an elder brother...
The article concludes by criticizing Li Ze for harming people, being ruthless, and committing heinous crimes. Therefore, after careful consideration, all members of the Li family unanimously decided to remove Li Ze's name from the family genealogy and cease to be a member of the Li family from this day forward.
Any news about Li Ze is trending, especially today during the day, when Li Ze donated one billion star coins and 50,000 energy crystals to the Guyu and Xiazhi star regions respectively.
Although the donation was made in the names of Li Ze and He Xingjue, everyone knew that He Xingjue was poor, so it was definitely Li Ze who contributed both money and goods.
Just as netizens were discussing Li Ze's extravagant spending, Li Zonghe suddenly issued a letter severing ties, causing quite a stir.
"Does anyone know what Li Zonghe is up to?"
"The article concludes by suggesting that readers who haven't read it carefully should read it again."
"He's afraid of getting implicated. Last time Li Ze 'died,' his father not only didn't help his son avenge his death, but he also forgave the murderer. You can imagine how bizarre this father is and how bad the relationship between father and son is! I feel sorry for my Ze."
"So what if he's removed from the family tree? Aze can be added to my family tree."
“Upstairs, Li Ze is from my family. My family can dedicate a separate page to his family tree.”
“I can write a separate book for him. From now on, I and my children will follow his lead.”
"Tsk tsk, did your ancestors know about this?"
......
Inside the room, He Xingjue frowned deeply as he looked at the comments, and typed seriously, "Li Ze is mine, and he should be added to my family tree."
Upon seeing He Xingjue suddenly appear, netizens burst into laughter.
"Commander He, have you asked Li Ze about this?"
"Commander He, do you regret not saving our Aze back then?"
"Commander He, we've got your wall in the ground. With all our shovels working together, we're sure your wall will fall. You'll be trembling in fear."
"Commander He, when will you divorce Li Ze? I have been in love with your wife for a long time."
"Commander He, I've done the math for you. You're not worthy. Letting go is the only way to be happy."
........
As He Xingjue read these comments, his temples throbbed, and a murderous aura surged within him.
"Li Ze is mine, and I won't divorce him!"
After typing a few bold characters, He Xingjue closed the comments section, deciding to ignore it.
Immediately afterwards, he uploaded a video recorded during Li Ze's communication with Li Zonghe today.
Originally intended as a precaution, it unexpectedly came in handy. He Xingjue couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Although everyone is on Li Ze's side now, it's hard to guarantee that no one will deliberately distort the facts and smear Li Ze.
Therefore, this video becomes especially important.
The video caused another uproar among netizens.
"So it was because of money that they fell out."
"No wonder Li Ze would rather donate it than give it to his father. If I had a father like that, I wouldn't give it to him either."
"No one is perfect. The only imperfection of such a wonderful person as Li Ze is that he has such a father."
"I was thinking that there must be a reason for suddenly cutting ties, but I didn't expect the reason to be this. Heh, I can only say, it was a good thing we broke off the relationship."
...
Li Ze was completely unaware of the excitement on the StarNet. Because he had drunk some alcohol and the cabin was swaying, his head was spinning. He fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.
He slept soundly until dawn. When he woke up, He Xingjue had already driven the yacht back to shore.
"Our trip will probably have to end prematurely," He Xingjue said in a heavy tone.
Li Ze asked, puzzled, "What happened?"
He Xingjue didn't just say that, but ordered, "Watch your personal terminal."
Li Ze went to check the quantum computer as instructed, and received inexplicable messages of concern and comfort from Zhou Yang, Lan Shuang, Chen Kaiyang, and others, as well as an invitation.
Li Ze clicked on the invitation and read it in two or three seconds: "A mecha competition among the top ten military academies?"
“Yes. It’s held every year, and it’s always a very grand and solemn event. They’ve been inviting me to be a judge for the past few years, but I’ve always been unavailable. I’m afraid I can’t avoid it this year. They said they’ve invited you too,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze hesitated for a moment, "Am I qualified to be a judge?"
After all, he had never been to school and had never received formal, systematic training in mecha piloting.
“If you can’t, there are few in the empire who can,” He Xingjue said quietly. “I’m afraid I’m no match for you now either.”
"No, in a simple mecha battle, without empowering the mecha, I can't beat you." He's only invincible because he has magic power and immense destructive power.
He Xingjue shook his head, disagreeing with his statement, "Being able to empower mechs is your skill. So, are you going?"
Li Ze nodded. In crowded places, the malevolent energy is usually stronger, especially in the arena, where a continuous stream of malevolent energy is generated.
Even if he doesn't become a judge, he'll still go.
This year's mech competition will be held on the planet Tanlang. It only takes a few hours to get there via the warp tunnel.
“We can use the jump portal, but we won’t go directly to Wolf Star. We’ll stop at each landing point along the way, explore the area, and try some local food. We have plenty of time,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze had no objections; he found it very pleasant to have everything arranged without having to think for himself.
So, what should have been a journey of a few hours turned into a trip where Li Ze and He Xingjue traveled and played along the way, finally arriving at Greedy Wolf Star the day before the Mecha Competition.
The largest hotel on the planet Tanlang was now filled with participating team members and instructors from various military academies.
When Li Ze and He Xingjue appeared together in the hotel lobby, the previously noisy lobby instantly fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at Li Ze and He Xingjue, their faces filled with surprise and excitement.
"Holy crap, why didn't anyone tell me these two were coming?!"
"It's not too late to know now. In this competition, you can only win, you can't lose. Whoever messes up at the crucial moment is fucking finished."
"Damn, this is making me so nervous."
