Chapter 277 Paying the Price
"I can only say that the law is long and will not let anything slip through. He will have to pay the price for what he did."
Lianyi didn't feel any pity at all. She could now understand why Wu Yishan gave up his original body so easily. He himself was an illegitimate child who murdered people to get to the top, so as long as the illegitimate child was capable, he could inherit everything from him.
Unfortunately, things often don't develop as he expected. Leo, who had the leverage over him, was shot down by Ripple. No one would have thought that a pirate leader would cause a general of the empire to be brought to a military court.
Lianyi sighed: You will suffer the consequences if you do evil, and God will take retribution for what you have done!
"Now that the hostile Yunyi Galaxy is involved, the military suspects that Wu Yishan has contact with the Yunyi Galaxy and needs to conduct further investigation, so he can't get out for a while.
It's just that we're afraid that someone might implicate you in this matter, so we're informing you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
Du Zixian concluded.
“Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, don’t worry. From the moment he gave up my guardianship for his illegitimate child, he is no longer my father. The only relationship I have with him is blood, and I changed my last name a long time ago.
Perhaps my mother had anticipated this day would come, so from childhood to adulthood, every star coin she spent on me came from her assets. Wu Yishan never even gave her star coins to raise her son. I learned this from her will after she passed away."
Lianyi smiled and said, without a trace of sadness on her face.
"The time for grief has passed. Now he is just a stranger to me."
"It's good that you think so, but I'm just afraid."
"Grandfather, don't worry. In the video of the purple mecha fighting the pirates that circulated on the Internet some time ago, I was the one operating the purple mecha. Haven't they been looking for the operator? It may be more beneficial for me to release the news at this time."
As soon as Lian Yi finished speaking, General Du and Du Zixian immediately winked at her. When she turned around, she saw the old lady's unfriendly face.
"Great! You guys teamed up to fool me, saying that Lian Yi hid himself and did nothing but wait for support!"
Lianyi's face changed, and she forgot that she had kept this matter a secret from her grandmother. She immediately stepped forward and took her grandmother's arm, and began to act coquettishly and beg for forgiveness. She finally appeased the old lady and signed many unequal treaties. Only then was she let go.
However, the old lady still scolded General Du and her eldest son, and the matter was finally put to rest.
However, Lianyi's words also reminded the two that this was a good opportunity for the public to view Lianyi and Wu Yishan separately so as not to affect Lianyi.
"Grandfather, uncle, I will handle this matter myself. Please don't interfere. If someone with ulterior motives finds out that it was you who released the news, they will have another reason to attack me."
"Okay, you handle it yourself."
They were very confident that Lianyi could handle these small matters on his own. Children need space to grow. He did very well in the face of the pirate attack this time, far exceeding their expectations.
The next day, when he arrived at the classroom, Lian Yi was surrounded. Everyone asked him questions about Wu Yishan. Lian Yi only spoke about what he could, and did not mention anything else that had not been verified or made public.
"In other families, the sons are the ones who bring trouble to the fathers, but in your case, it's the father who brings trouble to the sons."
Kate sighed.
"Squad leader, stop making sarcastic remarks and think about how to help Hongtu."
Anne said with a frown.
"What are you afraid of? Hongtu's surname is Du now, not Wu."
Hill was now attending classes as usual, still talking non-stop, but he was controlling his diet.
"But others don't think so. Legally they are no longer related, but blood-related, they are still father and son."
Kate also agreed with Anne.
Lian Yi smiled, thanked her friends for their concern, and then said to David:
"David, I need your help again this time."
David's leg has recovered and he is still attending Class A, but he has submitted an application to change his major and will most likely leave Class A next semester.
"Whatever you need me to do, just tell me, Hongtu."
"You can tell your brother about the news that the operator of the purple mecha is me. He can spread the news."
After hearing this, David was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion:
"You didn't want everyone to know before, why now?"
"Before, I was afraid of trouble. After all, I am a student and don't want to be praised too much. Now, in order to avoid being implicated by my biological father, I have no choice but to spread the news. At least I have contributed to catching the space pirates this time. I will not protect my father just because of blood relationship."
Lianyi spread her hands and explained.
"Got it! I will make sure it's flawless. There happened to be a clip where you jumped out of the mecha, and that brat didn't see it. I will let him see it accidentally."
David made a gesture to indicate that there was no problem and took on the task.
Three days later, the Empire's network became lively again. The operator of the purple mecha was exposed and turned out to be a fourth-year student in the Combat Department of the First Military Academy. He was definitely a minor, but he impressed netizens with his superb combat skills.
Upon further investigation, I discovered that this handsome and cool young boy actually had such a rough life experience. He went from failing the aptitude test to becoming a top genius. This is enough to write a novel.
His identity as Wu Yishan's biological son was also revealed, but based on what Wu Yishan had done, everyone thought it was natural for Lianyi to be taken away by the Du family and have his surname changed. Although they are father and son, they should be treated differently.
The excitement on the Internet made Wu Lianbo very anxious. His current qualifications were barely maintained, but without the system and the people to help him with advice, and now his father was in trouble, he didn't even dare to go to school. People always looked at him strangely.
He was so angry that his teeth were itching. They were also father and son, so why was Wu Lianyi not affected and instead became a role model for young people? He was like a rat crossing the street and could only hide. He hated Wu Lianyi and Wu Yishan. These people ruined his bright future.
But he never thought that he had asked for what he had today.
The investigation of Wu Yishan lasted for a year, involving many people and things. In the end, Wu Yishan was convicted of treason. In the United Empire, which has abolished the death penalty, he will be sent to a remote mining planet and mine there for the rest of his life.
Before leaving, Wu Yishan asked to meet Lianyi, but Lianyi refused very straightforwardly. She felt it was unnecessary and that the two would have no more interactions in the future.
Wu Yishan left Blue Star with regret, and the interest group headed by him was arrested, fined, transferred, and completely disintegrated.
Half a year later, the United Empire issued a statement, officially declaring war on the Yunyi Galaxy, and the subsequent ten-year counterattack officially began.
