"It's not important where the reporter got the news from. What's important is whether the public meeting we originally planned to hold in three days can still be held."
Another grumpy red-haired elder threw the laptop on the table. "Why open it? How can we open it? I'm afraid all the reporters from the entire galaxy are already on the starship heading here. What will we say if they ask us about it?"
Do these people still take our House of Representatives seriously? Such a big thing as the female's disappearance, and no one told us."
The elder with the best temper among the three patiently watched the interview from beginning to end, and took a general look at the debate among interstellar netizens before putting down his laptop and speaking.
"The most important thing now is not to discuss this, but to think about how we will face the media at the public meeting in three days. If we cancel the meeting, I'm afraid those netizens will start to speculate on conspiracy theories."
......
After Jiang Wan returned home in the evening, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep directly and knew nothing about what happened on the Internet. It was not until she got up the next day that she heard the news from Xiaopang. At this moment, she was sitting at the dining table, eating the breakfast prepared by Xiaopang for her while surfing the Internet on her laptop.
"Wanwan, have this. It's delicious. This is a new dish I developed based on the burrito I taught you before. The Marshal's wife ate it and praised my cooking."
Xiaopang hadn't seen Jiang Wan for a long time. After Jiang Wan got up in the morning, Xiaopang, who had been holding back his tears for a long time, hugged her and cried for a long time, expressing his longing for her. He also took Jiang Wan to the yard to see the fruit trees that were growing well under his careful care.
Even the flowers she bought from Huaxing, Xiaopang planted them near the swing, creating a very beautiful shape, which surprised Jiang Wan.
Yu Rou sat aside, watching the lively little fat boy constantly picking up dishes and passing soup to Jiang Wan. She enviously said, "Wan Wan, your little fat boy is so considerate. How did you train him? Teach me, and I'll teach our robot butler a lesson. Ours is so rigid and boring. How come they're all robot butlers, but there's such a big difference?"
Jiang Wan then turned his gaze away from the computer and glanced at the cheerful Fatty next to him. He asked in confusion, "Aren't all robot butlers like this? Fatty has always been like this. I haven't trained him."
Yu Rou became even more envious after hearing this: "That's probably because Xiao Yi was lucky when they bought it. He got a lively robot butler, while Bai Li was so stinky that he bought an old-fashioned butler who keeps nagging me to do this and that. I'm almost annoyed to death."
Seeing Jiang Wan was still reading the interview about Yin Yi on StarNet, Yu Rou shifted her attention. "Why are you reading this just now? This news broke last night. Bai Li and Xiao Yi were summoned by the military early this morning. They said there was something important going on and they needed to cooperate with the investigation."
"Summoned by the military? Didn't they go to work on their own?"
"No, someone from the military came early this morning with a serious expression. They said the military marshal had summoned them for questioning. I was a little worried, so after they left, I called my father to inquire about the situation. He said it was just a simple inquiry about the little princess of the Mifa Empire. It's okay, and told me not to worry. By the way, I just told you about it."
"I think this is not a simple question. Marshal Bai Zhuo is afraid that you will worry, so he didn't tell you the truth."
Jiang Wan frowned in thought, "Besides, strictly speaking, we are also victims implicated in this kidnapping incident. If they want to interrogate us, shouldn't we also go?"
Yu Rou waved her hand. "Hey, Wanwan, have you forgotten that we are female? No matter what happens, we don't need to accept any interrogation. Besides, Bai Li and Xiao Yi are both generals. Their father is at the military headquarters. They will be fine."
"Even if today's interrogation goes smoothly, I'm afraid those netizens online won't let Yin Yi go."
"Is it because of what Xiaoyi said to the reporters last night?"
Seeing that Jiang Wan had been reading netizens' comments and her expression became uglier the more she read, Yu Rou advised, "Wan Wan, why don't you stop reading? Some people online say some pretty harsh things.
Actually, I think what Xiaoyi said is not wrong. Those people say that they are doing this for our own good and want to protect us. However, all females must hold a husband-selection meeting when they reach adulthood, choose a partner from a group of unfamiliar orcs, and then give birth to cubs. Isn't this treating us females as reproductive tools?
The same goes for traveling. When we travel on the Imperial Star, we have people following us, like we're being monitored. Most importantly, those monitors are bossing us around, telling us we can't go here or see that. This has caused many females to prefer staying home rather than going out."
Hearing the deep dissatisfaction in Yu Rou's tone, Jiang Wan asked, "Are you saying that females don't go out because they don't want to be watched, not because they are timid and don't like to go out?"
"Yeah, those people say that females are delicate. Bah, females are not delicate at all. Look at that Meiya, she's either strolling around here or playing there every day, and she gets angry and curses at people at the slightest provocation, and sometimes even hits people."
"Doesn't she feel uncomfortable being watched?"
Yu Rou rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "She wouldn't do that. She just wants as many people around her as possible. She dresses herself up beautifully all day and goes to crowded places to play. The more people watch her, the happier she is. If anyone dares to point fingers at her, she'll just curse them out. Sometimes she'll even take a picture and post it online, asking netizens to curse her too. The worst time, she even drove an orc to suicide. Luckily, his family found him in time and saved him."
"She also cyberbullies others? Isn't there any punishment?"
Jiang Wan was shocked. Why was there cyberbullying everywhere?
"No, her father suppressed the matter. Not many people knew about it. I just heard it by accident."
Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then waved his hand. After Yu Rou came closer, he spoke softly, "I have an idea that can help Yin Yi fight back against the online condemnation while also allowing females to have more freedom in the future. It just requires some female help. Do you have any other females you're good with? Could you invite them out for a meeting? I'd love to talk to them."
