Chapter 444 Public DNA Testing
Aaron had never imagined that taking control of his own destiny would be such a wonderful thing.
Therefore, he respected Tan Chi even more.
Tan Chi put down the honey water in his hand, raised his dark eyes, and calmly glanced at the seemingly insane Laneta in the distance. He gently shook his head, "No need, let him make a scene. The stage is set, how can a clown be absent? Let's go and see the show!"
As Tan Chi spoke, he gently took the hand of Letekar beside him and headed toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
Eli, still worried, followed Tan Chi, who had stood up. "Tan Chi, I'll go with you."
Tan Chi grunted in agreement, and then the insects headed towards the banquet hall entrance.
Laneta, who had been throwing a tantrum at the gate, saw that all the insects that were supposed to come had arrived, so he immediately changed direction and walked directly towards Tan Chi.
"Your Highness! You must do justice for me! I've searched so hard for my little insect cub, but I never imagined... I never imagined that the Smith family had secretly hidden it away! They've kidnapped a cub!"
As soon as he uttered those words, the surrounding insects started chattering away.
[Is this female insect offspring from the Lanetta family? Isn't she a female insect from the Smith family who was lost to the world?]
Who knows? But the news of the missing Larnetta family's insectoid offspring has been circulating throughout the StarNet...
Judging from his expression, could it really be true?
[That can't be right. If the Smith family knew this bug was from the Lanetta family, why would they announce it so publicly?]
Who knows?
...
"Your Highness, I beg you to order them to return my family's Letekar to me!" Lanetta said again, seeing that Tan Chi had not spoken.
Tan Chi coldly watched Ranetta's tearful performance, his clear voice piercing the entire hall, "Lord Ranetta, you say your female insect larvae are missing. When did they disappear?"
Lanetta was taken aback, not expecting Tan Chi to ask this first. He stammered, "Just... just in the last few days!"
"Are you sure?" Tan Chi's voice was skeptical. "The day my brother and I went to your house, you told us personally that Letekar had gone out to play and didn't know when he would be back. You said we would have to wait for him to come back before you could give us an answer."
Lanetta nodded immediately. "Yes, yes, Letecar disappeared the day you arrived!"
He breathed a sigh of relief as he finished speaking, and was about to denounce the Smith family for their heartlessness when he heard Tan Chi speak again.
"Since you say that Letekar disappeared that day, did you send any insects out to look for him? Or did you report it? You care about Letekar so much, you must have thought of that first, right?"
Tan Chi's words sounded casual, but they didn't sit well with Lanetta.
If he admits that Letekel disappeared that day, then his failure to send out insects to search for him or report his disappearance would greatly damage his image as a loving father.
But if he says he didn't disappear that day, then the time of Lutcal's disappearance and the time of the Smith family's "Lutcal" appearance don't match up at all.
But after thinking it over, Lanetta decided to tell the truth, "I'm sorry, Lord Tanchi, perhaps I've misremembered..."
Tan Chi chuckled lightly. "You're mistaken? I remember you only reported it a week later, claiming the insect cub was missing. According to you, Kotekar should have been lost just the day before yesterday, right?"
Lanetta hadn't expected Tan Chi to be so aggressive, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Almost, that's about right! Anyway, he disappeared a few days after Your Highness left..."
Tan Chi snorted coldly, "How ridiculous. As far as I know, your Lanetta family's little female insect has never shown her face in public, has she? The Smith family just recognized this little female insect, and you dare to openly slander the empire's nobles in front of so many nobles and live broadcast cameras? Lord Lanetta, who gave you the guts?"
"You're talking nonsense! That's my insect offspring! Letekar is my female!" Laneta was completely enraged by Tan Chi's attitude.
Lutcal belongs to him, not the Smith family!
The family that can establish connections with the royal family is the Lanetta family, not any other family!
Lanetta glared angrily at Letecar behind Tan Chi and roared hysterically, "I can do a DNA test! A test in public! To convince you all!"
He originally intended not to embarrass the royal family during the live broadcast.
But they went too far, actually trying to kick him, the real father, out. Well then, don't blame him for flipping the table!
Lanetta looked at Tan Chi with a smug look, thinking about how Tan Chi would be at a loss and beg him not to do a DNA test in public, and he would feel extremely happy.
Unexpectedly, Tan Chi blurted out, "Okay, we can start now in front of everyone."
"If you don't... what? You agree?"
Lanetta could hardly believe his ears. He even looked at Tan Chi in disbelief and asked again, "Are you sure?"
Tan Chi nodded dismissively, "Otherwise what? Wasn't this your idea? I not only want to test it, but I also want to draw blood on the spot in front of all the guests, and live on the StarNet! Let the whole empire see the results!"
Eli's heart leaped into his throat. He nervously grabbed Tan Chi's small hand and asked urgently in a voice only the two insects could hear, "A-Chi! Are you sure...?"
This insect is indeed Lanetta's biological offspring; even a hundred blood tests would confirm it.
He didn't understand why his brother would support Lanetta getting a blood test.
Could it be that he was planning to tamper with the blood test?
Right now, all the bugs on the entire StarNet are watching the live stream, so trying to tamper with it is simply a pipe dream.
Tan Chi gently patted his brother's hand, his tone resolute, "Don't worry, if Letekar is a traitor to the Smith family, then he definitely is."
Seeing that Tan Chi was so determined, Eli naturally chose to let him do it.
Although he didn't know what he was doing, he trusted him.
Soon, the royal medical officer stepped forward with a portable DNA rapid testing device.
Under countless eyes and flashing cameras, the medical officer drew small amounts of blood from the arms of Lanetta and Letecar respectively.
The faint humming sound emitted by the instrument during operation was particularly clear in the quiet hall.
A few minutes later, the test results were projected onto the screen—[Genetic match: 0.01%, no kinship].
"No! This can't be! The instrument is broken! You guys are the ones who sabotaged it!"
Lanetta stared at the glaring number and immediately let out a scream of disbelief.
How could Leterkael not be his biological son?
How is that possible?!
Could it be that some insect betrayed him?!
He suddenly raised his head, glaring at Letekar with venomous eyes, and raised his arm as if to rush over and beat him, yelling, "You little bastard!"
