Chapter 27 Unfair Marriage Laws
The next morning, Zhai Wenxi sent someone to investigate the omega rabbit he had slept with for two nights.
Private investigator sent a message:
Mr. Zhai, the investigation found that he had close ties with Hansen of the Freedom Alliance.
Zhai Wenxi directly called the private detective and said, "Tell me in detail. Tell me everything you have found out."
Private Investigator: "Okay, although Hansen is the commander-in-chief of the Freedom Alliance, he has no real power. He has a team of experts behind him who control the development of the Freedom Alliance. In reality, Hansen is just a puppet."
Zhai Wenxi frowned: "What does this have to do with the rabbit?"
Private investigator: "He has been with Hansen all this time, almost eating and sleeping with him."
Zhai Wenxi: "Is Hansen supporting him?"
It's fucking disgusting, and Hansen is even more fucking disgusting.
Private Investigator: "Based on the analysis of the current investigation information, I think it is unlikely that they have this kind of relationship. There are now two possibilities that need further verification."
Private Investigator: “The first possibility is that the rabbit is following the instructions of the Freedom Alliance expert group.
We have found out that he was involved in a kidnapping case planned by the Freedom Alliance, but we are yet to confirm whether any casualties were caused."
Private Investigator: "The second possibility is that he was following instructions from his superiors and had been monitoring Hansen recently, and Hansen knew about this and condoned it."
Isn't he a student? Why would he work for the Freedom Alliance?
Besides, how could the Freedom Alliance possibly accept a student?
Internal personnel must undergo very strict assessment before they can enter.
After Zhai Wenxi hung up the phone, he always felt something was wrong.
As for why he spent a few days longer with the rabbit omega than an ordinary lover, and even took him to meet Qi Sheng after he flirted with her a few times.
It is related to an accidental experience of Zhai Wenxi.
Two months ago, Zhai Wenxi drove past a neighborhood where an animal rescue event was taking place.
There were many people gathered at that time and the scene was very lively.
The charity sale area displays some animal supplies, and passers-by can buy them at will.
All profits from the sales area will be donated to the animal rescue center after the event.
Zhai Wenxi casually bought a cat bowl and donated 10,000 yuan to the stall owner, showing his love while taking a walk.
When he looked up, he saw an omega with fair skin and casually tied hair running past him hurriedly.
Although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he still carried a fresh smell of grass as he ran past.
This pheromone, which Zhai Wenxi had never smelled before, made him fall in love instantly.
Zhai Wenxi's eyes followed the omega, and when he was about to catch up, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
"Hello, what's the name of the omega who just passed by?" Zhai Wenxi asked.
The staff was still immersed in Zhai Wenxi's generous donation and blurted out everything at once. "He's my classmate, Jingyue. What do you want to talk to him about? He's out moving some goods. You can wait until he comes back..."
Just then, Zhai Wenxi's cell phone rang, so he left in a hurry.
It was not until the next day that he remembered the omega named "Jingyue".
Jing Yue, with grassy pheromones and fair skin, is a student.
He searched for "Jingyue" that met the requirements among the resident information sent to him by Qi Sheng.
The only one who meets all the requirements is this omega bunny Jingyue.
Zhai Wenxi suddenly thought of the waiter who sent him to the police station yesterday, also named Jing Yue!!!
He immediately turned on his computer to look for the internal documents Qi Sheng had sent him.
He checked for a whole hour and couldn't find an omega that met the three conditions of "married, in his twenties, and pheromones with a grassy smell".
What's going on? Is this just a coincidence?
Zhai Wenxi wanted to investigate on his own, so he went to the western restaurant...
——
In Qi Feng’s private office at the headquarters of the Saar Federation Imperial Army.
There was only Qi Sheng.
Qi Feng poked at all the information about Qi Sheng’s marriage on the table, “Explain!”
"There's nothing to explain." Qi Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at the table, with an attitude that said, "Even if I'm wrong, I won't admit it."
Qi Feng was so angry that he swept the documents on the table to the ground, and the papers were scattered all over the floor.
He pointed at Qi Sheng in anger, his voice low and suppressed: "Qi Sheng! Do you know what you are doing? When I step down from this position, you are the heir to the Saar Federation Empire. Your marriage has never been your business alone!"
"Brother, you are old, but you still have children. When you are older, you will have grandchildren. I am too playful and don't want to be an heir."
Qi Feng was speechless for a while, and Bai Chuan reminded him in his ear every day.
He is your only brother. Don't forget your parents' dying instructions. You must teach him well.
At this time, Qi Sheng slowly bent down and picked up the documents one by one, his movements gentle but firm.
He raised his head and looked directly into Qi Feng's eyes: "I know what you want to say."
Qi Sheng laughed disdainfully, "It's nothing more than... a marriage of equal status, a marriage of convenience, and political leverage."
"But for me, marriage shouldn't be a transaction."
"trade?"
Qi Feng sneered, "Do you think the empire is maintained by love? Without a stable marriage and powerful allies, how can we consolidate our regime?
If you marry a mermaid, what can he bring to you? Can he help you govern the country? Or can he take bullets for you on the battlefield?
"I don't need him to take a bullet for me."
Qi Sheng's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable strength. "What I need is for him to be willing to spend every ordinary day with me. What I need is for him to look at me with only me in his eyes, not my identity."
Qi Feng slammed the table hard, shaking the teacup on the table, but he couldn't bear to hit Qi Sheng.
"Childish! How do you think you got your current position? If you don't have power, you won't even be able to protect him!"
"Then I will make myself stronger." Qi Sheng clenched the marriage certificate in his hand, "But my strength should not be based on sacrificing happiness."
Qi Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to persuade patiently:
"Qi Sheng, you've grown up and become an adult. You should consider the future of the entire federation, not your sentimental feelings. Do you understand?"
Qi Sheng protested, "You always say you're doing this for the country, for your duty, but have you ever thought about this: if you have to calculate the gains and losses even when loving someone, then what exactly is this country protecting?"
Qi Feng declared: "What we are protecting is order! It is the survival of millions of people!"
"But if even the purest emotions can be crushed by power, then what is the meaning of such an order?"
Qi Sheng's voice was soft, but like a sharp knife, it cut through the long-standing social contradictions.
About ten years ago, the Federal Empire promulgated the "New Marriage Law", which completely institutionalized marriage in the name of "optimizing the population structure".
1. Mandatory mate matching: All Omegas must register upon reaching adulthood and be divided into different levels according to their fertility.
High-level Alphas give priority to choosing high-quality mates, while low-level Omegas may be forced to match and become reproductive tools.
2. Birth Control: If an Omega fails to meet the birth quota before the specified age, he or she will face heavy fines or even deprivation of his or her citizenship.
All residents must pass a pheromone matching test before getting married. Couples with a pheromone matching score below 50% will be directly judged as "not meeting eugenic standards" and the marriage will be invalid.
Qi Feng's chest was heaving violently, and his hands, which had held power for years, were clenched until they turned white.
The teacup trembled and splashed a few drops of dark brown tea stains, which was very similar to the life that was tainted under this system.
Qi Feng was simply stating an objective fact. "But your pheromone compatibility test is only 0.1%, which means you are not suitable in any way. Your marriage is naturally invalid."
"If even a lifelong commitment requires genetic testing, then what's the difference between us and the numbered, paired mice in a lab?"
Qi Feng gritted his teeth, "So you committed perjury? You changed your pheromone matching result from 0.1% to 100%? You think you did nothing wrong?"
"What's the problem? The 0.1 point is 0 under the magnifying glass, so in certain circumstances, we have a 100% fit!"
Qi Feng held his forehead, feeling a sudden headache, "..."
His rebellious little brother started talking nonsense again.
He suddenly wasn't so angry anymore. He wanted to hear what nonsense Qi Sheng would say next.
Qi Feng raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure that the mermaid likes you? Is he willing to live here?
After all, he's not a terrestrial species. You're hurting him by keeping him. Do you understand what responsibility is?"
"Responsibility? Brother—our happiness shouldn't be measured by fertility rates!
I think:
The responsibility of a country is to allow every citizen to freely love what he or she loves.
A ruler's responsibility is to protect the weakest 0.1%, not to erase its existence."
"As for whether he is willing to stay..."
Qi Sheng took out a red scale with a pearly luster from his arms. He had been carrying it with him since the moment Yu Li gave it to him.
He handed it to Qi Feng to show him, but he didn't dare to hold it too close.
"A mermaid would only pluck the scales from her heart for the one she truly loves. The 0.1% between us is a resonance of souls that transcends species, and is far more precious than a 100% match as measured by a machine."
"Brother, you're the one who doesn't understand love. You and Brother Bo have been married for over ten years, and you don't even have a child. Do you really love each other?"
What a sudden change of tactics.
Qi Feng was speechless. He sat down tiredly and took a sip of tea.
At this time, the phone on the workbench rang and Qi Feng answered the call.
Qi Sheng took the opportunity to jog away.
As soon as he walked out of the room, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Qi Sheng's subordinate Tan Yuan hurried over to support him. "How was the talk, Major General? Did you finish your talk?"
"Didn't I say...are the residents so opposed to the Marriage Law? They've got so many complaints and suggestions..."
Tan Yuan explained in a low voice, "No one dares to tell the leader about this, and more and more people are opposing the marriage law recently. If you have time, go to the Freedom Alliance parade area and see for yourself, they are really getting more and more crazy."
"Then why are you still standing there? Go now."
This crappy Marriage Law is driving me crazy.
"Major General, however, you have a cultural exam this afternoon."
Qi Sheng: “…”
Tsk! How could I have forgotten about this?
