Chapter 37 Healing the Imperial General 9
Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Xingjian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Xing Jian's recent job is to write some entertainment news and guide public opinion on the Internet. The work he usually receives is just some gossip about entertainment stars, or some science popularization and education.
This time, the content actually required him to guide public opinion about Xing Zhanye and label Xing Zhanye as bloodthirsty and brutal.
Xing Jian's bony hands hovered over the voice input interface and pressed it, saying, "I will not write false information about General Xing. I do not accept this assignment."
As soon as the message was sent, Xingjian received a reply. The other party offered to pay five times the market price.
Xingjian sent another message: "I won't do it no matter how much money you offer."
Then he skillfully blocked and deleted the whole thing.
After the other party sent the message again, he received a red exclamation mark. He looked at the red exclamation mark on the phone, said "Damn it", and then slammed the phone on the side of the bed.
Wasn't the guy opposite a victim of the Dawn Experimental Base back then? Why would he still protect Xing Zhanye?
The Dawn Experimental Base incident that year was blamed on the royal family's poor management, causing many people's distrust of the royal family to reach its peak. It was Xing Zhanye's consecutive victories that barely saved the royal family some face.
This small gesture of goodwill cannot win the forgiveness of the victims of the Dawn Experiment Base. In recent years, there have been anti-Xing Zhanye activities under the banner of the victims of the Dawn Experiment Base.
Opposing the royal family is a capital crime, but Xing Zhanye, the royal lackey who opposes the royal family, will not be punished at all. Many parades are doing anti-royal things under the guise of opposing Xing Zhanye, and this has become increasingly popular in recent years.
This is also one of the reasons why the Alliance Experimental Base treats Star Sword with special care. Star Sword was the one who suffered the most damage from the Dawn Experimental Base, but it has never participated in any such activities.
Although he was receiving relief funds from the Alliance Experimental Base, which was founded by Xing Zhanye, he organized countless activities against Xing Zhanye. The Alliance Experimental Base's attitude towards other victims has never been good.
Xing Jian calmed down and sighed. Xing Zhanye had just returned from the battlefield, but those who enjoyed the peace he brought were saying bad things about him. This made Xing Jian unhappy no matter what.
Upon arriving this time, Xing Zhanye told He Jianshan not to reveal any information, and after getting off the warship, he headed straight for the palace.
Xing Zhanye's military boots clattered across the gilded floor tiles, their footsteps echoing throughout the palace. He Jianshan followed closely behind, electronic documents in hand. Suddenly, Xing Zhanye stopped in his tracks. In the shadow of the palace corridor pillars, the eldest prince, Helian Shu, was fiddling with his newly acquired antique watch. The watch strap shone with a calculating coldness in the morning light.
"General Xing, how are you these days? Please rest well when you return to the imperial capital. You've been away from home for many years. If there's anything you need, please let me know."
Xing Zhanye glanced at Helian Shu, who was looking fawning. For a moment, he didn't even want to pretend to be nice to this person anymore. After searching for eight whole years, Xing Zhanye suddenly felt very tired.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I've just experienced interstellar travel and I'd like to go back to my residence and rest for a while." Xing Zhanye's face was expressionless as he stared blankly at the guy in front of him.
Helian Shu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Xing Zhanye's unhappy voice. He didn't know how he had offended the person in front of him. Could it be that his message asking Xing Zhanye to come back quickly was misunderstood by him?
Helian Shu wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but when he looked up, he found that Xing Zhanye had already walked away. He could only sigh as he watched the man's figure getting smaller and smaller.
Xing Zhanye left the palace feeling exhausted both physically and mentally. The air in the hovercraft was filled with the minty scent of a nerve-soothing agent. Xing Zhanye untied his bow tie and, after a moment, asked, "Any clues?"
He Jianshan was a little confused by this sudden question, but then he thought again, "Sorry, General, there is still no news."
After hearing He Jianshan's reply, Xing Zhanye looked at the speeding cars outside the window without saying a word. It was an expected answer, a reality that Xing Zhanye didn't want to hear but had to accept.
Silence fell once again in the car. He Jianshan turned around, handed the intelligent computer to Xing Zhanye, and said, "General, the Alliance Experimental Base is holding a sympathy event tomorrow regarding the former Dawn Experimental Base. I hope you can attend."
Dawn Experimental Base?
Xing Zhanye had always known that the victims of the Dawn Experimental Base hated him immensely, and that the many marches and demonstrations they organized were all against his atrocities.
The people in the entire empire who least want to see me are probably the victims of the Dawn Experimental Base. Why would they ask me to participate in any consolation activities?
Seeing Xing Zhanye's confusion, He Jianshan explained, "There's been an excessive amount of negative online chatter about you lately, and the royal family is also somewhat dissatisfied, so they organized this visit. Don't worry, the victims present this time didn't participate in any demonstrations."
"No." Xing Zhanye said firmly. He didn't care about the public opinions on Star Network at all. They were just some troublemakers who wanted to pick on the royal family. He just turned a blind eye to them.
"But the Legion is also somewhat dissatisfied this time..." He Jianshan seemed to be hesitant to speak. "The Legion is very disappointed. They are the ones who are protecting the empire under the cosmic rays, but their generals are being discussed like this on the Starnet."
Xing Zhanye reached out and took the intelligent computer without saying anything else, but He Jianshan knew that the matter was settled.
Xingjian fumbled to pick up the vibrating communicator and was a little surprised to find that it was a call from the Alliance Experimental Base. After all, he had just met the staff of the experimental base a month ago.
"Mr. Xingjian, considering your special situation, you can choose to interrupt the condolence meeting at any time." He was a little surprised and hesitant when he heard the request from the experimental base.
The Imperial Legion wanted to hold a sympathy event with the victims of the Dawn Experimental Base. Xing Jian thought about the negative public opinions about Xing Zhanye and the Legion on the Star Network in recent days and felt a little hesitant.
Nowadays, Xing Jian rarely leaves the house unless there is something important, but since it must be about the Legion and Xing Zhanye's reputation, Xing Jian must go and it would be best if he could establish good relationships with them.
"I only have one request. Can this condolence event be conducted without live media? I don't really like appearing in front of so many people." Xing Jian raised his request to the staff opposite him.
Xingjian thought he would be rejected, but he heard an affirmative response from the other party, which surprised Xingjian.
"Of course, Mr. Xingjian, it's an honor for us that you are willing to come to our condolence event."
The staff member's words made Xing Jian feel a little embarrassed. He blushed slightly and said, "This is what I should do. After all, I have received so much care from the experimental base."
