Chapter 144 Very Lucky
Hsieh Hsing-chen's suicide note successfully divided the public into two factions, leading to a heated argument.
If it weren't for his amendments to the laws regarding minors, I would have been beaten to death at school long ago. I'm actually very grateful to him.
[His support for preferential housing policies for senior citizens finally allowed my parents to own their first home, so I can't bring myself to complain.]
[College graduates also receive employment subsidies. We know he made a mistake, but he's truly a good official.]
To be honest, it was clearly Zhao Quan's fault from the beginning. Why did he kidnap someone else's child? He must have done a lot of other despicable things. Please investigate this thoroughly.
[This is ridiculous. They use other people's children for experiments just because their own child got into trouble? They should be dragged out and shot!]
Exactly, how do we account for the deaths of so many people from the plague? We can only say that the good deeds don't outweigh the bad; murderers must pay with their lives.
[But Zhao Quan didn't arrest the children at first; he was elected in the first term based on the vote. Zhao Quan was a higher-ranking official; without political struggle, he would have died quietly. This was a path of no return, one that ordinary people like us wouldn't understand.]
........
After his injuries had healed somewhat, Xie Xingchen went to the police station in person and submitted the documents.
"Part of this is false testimony from Yun Qing, but it is actually Xie Hengzhi's evidence. Yun Qing only participated in children's experiments. Although the methods were cruel, they did not involve murder."
"The laboratory explosion that caused casualties, and the subsequent blood plague that killed many people, were all caused by Xie Hengzhi. I have recordings as evidence."
Xie Xingchen also submitted the conversation he had with Xie Hengzhi during their argument at the ancestral hall.
"Okay, we will conduct a joint investigation with the procuratorate. Thank you very much for your cooperation."
"If that's the case, will Yun Qing... get a lighter sentence?" Xie Xingchen asked in a low voice. "I'm not trying to exonerate him, but I feel that if it's life imprisonment, that would be better. At least if he's alive, there's a possibility of a reduced sentence."
"The court will give its final opinion after all the evidence has been submitted for investigation, and it is not possible to know at this time."
"I understand, thank you."
Xie Xingchen came out of the police station, where Lin Yao was waiting for him at the door. It was already August, and the sunlight was dazzling, but he still felt uneasy.
"Where to now?"
"Boyan's Laboratory".
After Xie Xingchen was discharged from the hospital, Lin Yao could no longer hide it from him and had to confess the truth: "Actually, I've been there since July. I also went there during the time I was waiting for you to come back."
What are you going there for?
"Using himself as a test subject to develop an antidote for the blood plague, Boyan has already produced two versions and is still optimizing them." Lin Yao explained, watching his face gradually darken. "It doesn't hurt much."
Xie Xingchen got into the car expressionlessly: "Why didn't either of you consult with me?"
"Your injuries are severe; you need to rest." Lin Yao observed his expression. "Are you angry?"
"Haven't you suffered enough as a child? You're sending yourself back as a test subject. What are you thinking?" Xie Xingchen suppressed his anger. "Are you worried that Xie Hengzhi will start the blood plague again?"
Lin Yao hummed in agreement: "If it's small-scale like the one on the desolate planet before, it should be controllable."
Xie Xingchen didn't say a word, but simply reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yao tried to block him from seeing, but was afraid that his wound would reopen after it had just healed, so he didn't dare to resist too much. In the end, he grabbed his clothes and ripped off his upper body.
My taut lower abdomen is covered with countless needle marks, all recently left, and still bears some bruises.
“I haven’t taken your clothes off lately, and this is what you do.” Xie Xingchen pressed lightly with his fingertips. “Do you think I have a good temper?”
Lin Yao shuddered slightly and replied stiffly, "No."
The other party didn't get angry, but just hovered around those pinholes. However, he felt a very strong sense of oppression, and Xie Xingchen was very angry.
"You..." His throat was dry, "Want to have sex in the car?"
Xie Xingchen laughed in exasperation: "Lin Yao, is this all you can do to coax people now?"
He has a very fiery temper.
"It really doesn't hurt, it feels the same as when I get a suppressant injection," Lin Yao explained with difficulty. "And Bo Yan is also very skilled, he's very gentle, and he won't draw my blood unless absolutely necessary."
Xie Xingchen lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice, "I don't really want to hear you praise another Alpha at a time like this."
Lin Yao: ".........."
Okay, this is also a minefield.
He reached out and grabbed the other man's unruly hand, saying softly, "At least it's a precaution, which is a good thing. Anyway, it's already done, so you..."
Just then, a huge explosion suddenly came from somewhere. The two of them looked up and saw thick smoke rising from the police station.
Both of their communicators sounded an alarm at the same time. Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his clothes back on: "There's a mission."
Xie Xingchen glanced at him indifferently and answered the call.
"The New District Police Station has been bombed. Alliance Commander Xie Hengzhi has directly bombed the airspace above the police station with his warship. Personnel from nearby military districts, please regroup and proceed. Attention, attention, repeating..."
The two of them were right at the door; they arrived at the scene in a flash.
Xie Xingchen squinted at that direction: "The news is really fast. He just gave us the evidence and then immediately bombed the police station. He's really gone completely mad."
"Lin Yao, Xie Xingchen, are already on site, waiting for Dark Star and Sun Star teams to assemble." Lin Yao replied in the communicator before looking ahead, "A prison break?"
"The police station won't release him." Xie Xingchen looked down at the progress of his team members. "Even if he's a suspect, they won't release him just because of threats. That's unreasonable."
Lin Yao suddenly realized: "So, he wants to exchange hostages."
"Z1 Military District, soldiers suddenly attack each other, requesting support."
"N7 Military District, soldiers suddenly attack each other, requesting support."
"T3 Military Region, soldiers suddenly attack each other, requesting support."
...
A real-time report came through the communicator: placing just one Plague Patient in each military region would be enough to cause chaos.
It was only at this moment that they both realized the meaning of their conversation at the hospital that day.
Xie Hengzhi said he would stop at nothing and hoped they would bear the consequences. He just didn't expect it would drag an entire alliance down with them.
From the warship suspended in the air, Xie Hengzhi's order came: "Bring Yun Qing out."
"Lin Yao, can we snipe directly?" the command came through the communicator.
“It’s difficult. He’s on a warship. Even if we shoot, it’s hard to penetrate his defenses unless we engage in direct combat with warships.” Lin Yao and Xie Xingchen went up to the high platform to observe the terrain. “Besides, there are now blood plague patients in various military regions. We don’t know how many he has deployed.”
"Yun Qing can't give it to you. He broke the law and should be tried by the Alliance." The police station refused to release him.
"Then I'll have no choice but to take it by force." Xie Hengzhi piloted the warship closer, his voice indifferent. "By the way, the blood plague has spread to residential areas. In less than half a day, the entire alliance will be a river of blood. How about it, want to take a gamble?"
Meanwhile, pedestrians nearby began to become agitated, and a strange odor spread rapidly through the air.
As a former test subject, Lin Yao's neck instantly flushed a bright red, and his fingers pressed against his pulse, which was pounding wildly.
“Call Boyan.” He loosened two buttons, picked up the sniper rifle his team member had given him, and tried to aim. “Have him send the antidote he’s developed to various locations.”
"We have the medicine, but we can't distribute it to different places in a short time," Cheng Boyan replied. "Small-scale outbreaks of blood diseases can be controlled, but outbreaks are spreading everywhere, and we can't save them."
Xie Xingchen stared at the warship in the distance and muttered to himself, "How did he do that?"
Lin Yao met his gaze for a second, and then they both suddenly had their answer: "Pink bird."
Back then, large numbers of pink birds were transported from the laboratory to various places. Only in this way could they be controlled quickly and effectively.
"But we can't control it," Lin Yao muttered to himself. "We've already developed an antidote, are we just going to watch them kill each other?"
"Can I give it a try?" Xie Dai appeared out of nowhere and landed on Lin Yao's shoulder.
For the past few years, his wings have been dyed deep black, and I had forgotten his original color. But today, they were washed clean, and his pink wings looked beautiful in the sunlight.
"Even if you break your wings, you won't have enough time to deliver the antidote in half a day. Don't bother meddling." Lin Yao pulled him off his shoulder and placed him on the back of his hand.
"Do you remember that we Pink Birds all have a recall mode?"
Xie Dai was unusually serious, standing properly. "If you format me, I will have the authority to give the last command. I can recall all the pink birds and have them fly to various places with the antidote. It will be quick, half a day will be more than enough. We are interplanetary pets."
"How do I format it?" Lin Yao asked, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"Didn't you guess it?" Xie Dai raised his wing and poked his heart. "You're so smart, you must have guessed it."
"Thank you, no."
Lin Yao's palms were burning hot, because the alluring drug in the air made him feel like he was about to boil, but the suggestion made his hands and feet feel cold.
Xie Xingchen was frozen in place: "No, Xie Dai, you can't even think about such a thing."
"Sacrifice me for the happiness of the whole league, sounds pretty cool, right?"
Xie Dai flapped his wings and flew into the air. "When the time comes, can you build me a huge statue? Just put it in front of the police station, it'll be so cool!"
Lin Yao shook his head, vehemently refusing: "No."
They stood on a high sniping platform, looking down at the pedestrians on the street below, countless people already thrown into chaos by the allure of the drug.
Xie Dai leaned over, grabbed Xie Xingchen's and Xie Xingchen's hands, and gently rubbed them together: "You two, you have to stay together."
Then it flew into the air and made a big heart shape with its pink wings.
"Master, please unbind and put the pet into suicide mode."
"I'm so lucky to have you all with me. Thank you, I love you all."
