"Xiaxia, are you awake? Quick, check the personal terminal!" Qiao You's excited voice came through.
The two exchanged a few words and then hung up. Su Xia then saw a trending topic on StarNet about Helian Tu.
"Hmph! Serves you right!"
Su Yinchen leaned closer and overheard this sentence. Thinking it was directed at him, she said, "Xiaxia, look at my face."
A very obvious red mark, although only the tip of the tail hit the face.
"Even after all this, you're still cursing me?"
Su Xia's cheeks flushed red, feeling somewhat embarrassed, since he had genuinely misunderstood Su Yinchen earlier.
“I…I didn’t insult you.” Su Xia automatically ignored the fact that he hit Su Yinchen’s face with his tail. “Look at the personal terminal, there’s news about Helian Tu.”
Su Yinchen sat behind Su Xia, maintaining this posture as they watched the quantum computer together.
"Tsk, this guy still needs to be taught a lesson!" Su Yinchen has disliked Helian Tu since she was a child.
Helian Tu is three years younger than Su Yinchen and Helian Jue. When they were little, the three of them often played together.
But this person has been wicked since childhood, and often harbors evil intentions to set traps for him and Helian Jue.
Gradually, the three of them stopped playing together and drifted further and further apart.
Su Xia was quite interested in the stories of the three of them when they were young. "How did Helian Tu set traps for you? Even His Highness, who is so smart, fell for it?"
Hehe, he has to remember this well. When he sees Youyou next time, he'll have to tell him all about it!
Su Xia had been giving Su Yinchen the cold shoulder for several days, and this was the first time she had given him a kind look. She didn't care about losing face and blurted everything out.
“At that time, we were eight years old and Helian Tu was five. After school, Helian Jue and I had long discovered that there was an orchard not far from the school. The guards who came to pick us up from school that day were a little late, so Helian Jue and I planned to sneak over and pick some fruit for our aunt.”
"I don't know what got into Helian Tu, but he insisted on going along. We didn't have much time to begin with, so we had no choice but to agree."
"Helian Tu also picked quite a few, and as a result, he went back and complained to His Majesty, saying that we stole the fruit and that we forced him to do it."
Mentioning this incident made Su Yinchen grit his teeth in anger, and he received a thorough beating. His aunt led the two of them to apologize to the orchard owner. "Helian Jue and I realized our mistake and decided to help out at the orchard during the harvest."
"We also got quite a lot of fruit."
This was just a small thing that happened when I was a child, but even back then I could tell that Helian Tu was no good.
Su Xia listened attentively and concluded, "Helian Tu is a big bad guy!"
"That's right, he's a big bad guy!"
Taking advantage of Su Xia's good mood, Su Yinchen hurriedly tried to boost her favorability: "Xia Xia, I suffered so much when I was little, didn't I?"
Su Xia nodded, "Yes! You and His Highness are good people!"
"Want some mushroom noodles for breakfast? I had someone specially buy them from Blue Water Star." Su Yinchen immediately followed up with a sweet talk. Xia Xia had eaten mushroom noodles a few times at the villa in Jade Water Bay before and seemed to like them quite a bit.
Su Xia did like mushroom noodles, but he remembered that Yunlai Manor didn't used to serve them. Hmm! Actually, Su Yinchen was quite nice to him...
"Thank you."
Su Yinchen felt completely relaxed and carried her little spirit pet to the restaurant!
Inside the study of Yushuiwan Villa.
"Your Highness, everything has been handled as instructed," Lin Zhong said, and then sent some of the collected information to Helian Jue via his personal terminal.
Helian Jue opened his personal terminal and looked at the message sent by Lin Zhong.
A few minutes later, I finished reviewing all the content.
"So Helian Tu really killed his spirit pet with his own hands, and then coveted my little fish, wanting to possess it for himself?" Helian Jue's voice was devoid of warmth.
Lin Zhong replied, "Yes! Mi Yang, who used to work at the Second Prince's residence, witnessed it with his own eyes."
"You can believe about 60-70% of what this person says."
"Yu Qin and this Mi Yang were classmates and majored in the same field, and their relationship was quite good when they were studying together."
After a moment's consideration, Helian Jue said, "Let's observe first. Ability isn't the most important thing, but loyalty is essential."
"Understood."
"Go down."
This time, Helian Tu's predicament was deliberately spread by someone at Helian Jue's behest.
We have to find something for them to do, otherwise they'll start picking fights when they're idle.
Helian Jue never thought much of Helian Tu. He was arrogant, easily angered, and thought himself clever. He could bring about his own demise without Helian Jue having to lift a finger.
But the Leiden family is a tough nut to crack, and even now, Helian Jue still doesn't understand what they are after.
"elder brother!"
"The big bad guy has responded!"
Qiao You's voice rang out, and Helian Jue snapped out of his daze, getting up to go find the precious fish.
"What did they say? Was it an apology and compensation?"
Qiao You looked down on it, "Hmm! They said that because the Snake King's spirit pet was sick, its ability to soothe it was not as good as before, causing its spiritual power to go berserk, and that the seven-year-old boy deliberately offended it, which led to this tragedy."
"We are willing to offer three million interstellar coins as compensation."
After reading the statement, Qiao You successfully decided to blow up Helian Tu.
Why do they spend money on everything, just to show off?
Not only Qiao You thinks so, but many StarNet users also feel the same way.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, truly lives up to your noble status as a member of the royal family. Offense? A seven-year-old boy offends you, and you beat him half to death?"
"Please remember, members of the royal family, that your rights are granted by the people."
"The Second Prince is a refined and elegant gentleman, not this kind of person. These past few times have been targeted at him; someone must be doing it on purpose!"
"Intentional? If he hadn't abused the spirit pet, would he have been exposed? Wasn't it him who beat the child half to death?"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"Ignoring the person who made the mistake, instead blaming the one who exposed it?"
"Hehe, compared to this, His Highness the Crown Prince's massacre of enemy prisoners of war is nothing compared to this one."
"So, His Highness the Crown Prince not only killed so many people! No, he tortured and killed so many people!"
"Your Highness, as a general of the empire, if you don't kill the enemy, are you waiting for the enemy to kill us?"
"We're discussing His Highness the Second Prince right now, let's not stray from the topic!"
...
Qiao You silently clicked the "downvote" button on the comment that was criticizing Helian Jue!
What's wrong with this person? He always drags his brother into this!
Seeing Qiao You's sullen face, Helian Jue stroked her hair and soothed her, "Baby, we're having fried dough sticks for breakfast today."
"Huh!?" Qiao You was overjoyed. He had only eaten it once before. His brother said that fried food was unhealthy and shouldn't be eaten too much!
"Brother is so good~" Qiao You rushed into his arms and started saying nice things to him.
Helian Jue picked up the little fish, helped it wash up, and ate breakfast!
A few days later, Helian Tu went silent, presumably after being warned again by the Leiden family. People near the villa were withdrawn, and during this time he claimed to be suffering from a mental injury and undergoing treatment.
