Tang Kaiyuan slammed the car door, ignored the housekeeper's question, and ran straight into the old house in the rain.
Half of his chest was filled with anger, and the other half was guilty. Before leaving, he didn't even dare to look at Kuai Le's face. He made several phone calls along the way, but when they heard about this kind of thing, the gangs made excuses one by one.
In the end, he could only call Minister Qi of the Ministry of Public Security, who hesitated: "Why did this happen at this time... It's not that I don't want to help you, but that's Major General Lu Zhao. Besides, you know who his legal partner is. If that young master goes crazy and smashes the Ministry of Public Security--"
He didn't finish the rest of the words before he was hung up by Tang Kaiyuan.
The status of the Bai family in the empire has always been higher than that of the Tang family. Even if Bai Li is the only one left alive in this generation, there is no need to provoke the Bai family for a small reporter.
Tang Kaiyuan ran up the stairs and caught a glimpse of a few thin photo frames on the corridor wall.
He went to the Bai family's house once when he was young. He will never forget the row of photos of the head of the Bai family wearing military uniforms on the wall, the entire wall of merit, and the golden Carrie medals that filled the cabinets.
At that time, a thought came to his mind: with the same bloodline, why did Bai Li get all this?
Tang Kaiyuan came to his senses and put the previous thoughts behind him. Now he had to find a way to get Kuai Le out.
The door of the study was ajar, and there were faint voices. Tang Kaiyuan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly knocked on the door and pushed it open.
"Father, something has to happen..." Tang Kaiyuan's words were stuck in his throat, and after a few seconds he said, "What's the matter?"
Tang Xiao sat on the chair, panting, and the medicine in his hand fell to the ground. He was staring at Mrs. Tang who was squatting on the ground picking up medicine.
Hearing the movement, Tang Xiao raised his head, and the finger pointing at Mrs. Tang's nose froze in mid-air: "Who let you in? You came in without knocking?"
"I knocked," Tang Kaiyuan was a little embarrassed, "Maybe my voice was soft and I didn't hear it."
Mrs. Tang put a few pills back into the medicine bottle, raised her head and looked at him and smiled: "Did you get caught in the rain? Why don't you go and wipe it off."
The soft smile made Tang Kaiyuan feel more at ease: "Mother, what is this medicine...?"
"I ate it," Tang Xiao took over the conversation, adjusted his tone, and his expression was no longer as sly as before. "I'm old now. I had a few more drinks some time ago and I felt dizzy and had a headache. I just called my family doctor to prescribe some medicine." He paused, and before Tang Kaiyuan could continue to ask questions, he spoke, "I was dizzy just now and didn't hold the medicine bottle steady, so it spilled all over the floor. Your mother is helping to pick it up."
Tang Kaiyuan looked at Mrs. Tang, who half lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.
The atmosphere in the room was a little strange, and Tang Kaiyuan was actually a little afraid to ask further.
Fortunately, Tang Xiao spoke first: "What's the matter?"
"Ah, what is that," Tang Kaiyuan cleared his throat, "Father, I'm in some trouble..."
He recounted what happened in the afternoon, minus the details that made him feel embarrassed, and only talked about how Bai Li had someone take Kuai Le away from his car.
Mrs. Tang was more and more surprised, and when she heard that Kuai Le reached out to Lu Zhao's medical report, she almost lost her balance.
"That little reporter, right? I knew that none of those who chase after private affairs and report them every day are clean," Tang Xiao frowned and loosened his collar. "Don't worry about it. The situation is very serious now. He has hit the gun. Don't join in the fun."
"How can this be considered joining in the fun," Tang Kaiyuan said anxiously. "Father, that's my partner. I promised to help him!"
Tang Xiao was still a little dizzy and waved his hand impatiently: "No."
"Father!" Tang Kaiyuan was anxious and tried to grab Tang Xiao's hand. "Just this time! Lele is my partner!"
Tang Xiao's hand was held by Tang Kaiyuan and he actually felt a little pain. He was old, and his strength was not as good as his young and strong son. He tried to shake her off several times but failed. He could not help but feel angry and pushed Tang Kaiyuan away: "You don't need a partner!"
These words were like a sharp blade, smashing Mrs. Tang's heart.
She realized that Tang Xiao actually knew about her son's messy partner relationship. He knew it clearly, but did not object.
Mrs. Tang felt disgusted.
"I don't care if you make trouble elsewhere, but I said it's not allowed in this matter!" Tang Xiao roared, "What time is it now? You just got in touch with the young master of the Lin family and were about to keep a low profile, and you drag the Tang family into that O's mess?!"
Tang Kaiyuan staggered after being pushed. He had never seen Tang Xiao like this before, and looked at his father in astonishment.
"After all, he is someone I have feelings for," Tang Kaiyuan bit his lip, "and you just watched Bai Li send people around me to prison? He did it on purpose, he..."
"Shut up!" Tang Xiao's face flushed red, and he gasped like an angry bear, waving his fist and walking over, "You are useless, you have been oppressed by him since you were a child, and you still have the nerve to say it!" Mrs. Tang
came to her senses and rushed over to stop Tang Xiao.
"Don't," she whispered tremblingly, "Don't do that to the child."
Tang Xiao paused, turned around and shook off Mrs. Tang's hand.
The medicine bottle was knocked over again, and the pills rolled to Tang Kaiyuan's feet.
"Okay," Tang Xiao loosened his collar again, panting, "Don't play the role of a romantic saint in front of me. After a while, when things are stable, you can get that little reporter out again."
Tang Kaiyuan looked at the medicine bottle on the ground, and then looked at Mrs. Tang who was thrown away but didn't look surprised, and was speechless for a while.
"Besides, you may not miss him so much in a few days," Tang Xiao said lightly, "There are many omegas. When the Tang family gets up, you won't have time to think about this."
"Wait until the Tang family gets up" is a phrase that Tang Xiao always says. Tang Kaiyuan has lived in this phrase since he was a child, just like living in a dream woven for him by his father.
He always felt that this dream was real, and he always felt that he should stand at a higher position.
But since he returned to the main planet, he felt that he was getting further and further away from this dream.
And his father was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Tang Kaiyuan said "hmm" woodenly.
"Get ready, let's go to the Fuli Club together tonight," Tang Xiao recovered from his excitement and patted Tang Kaiyuan's shoulder to make up for it. "The young master will also come. He will give several speeches at the Military Academy at the end of the year. He will mention Mr. Lin Sheng's research institute and you as a driver."
This also means that Lin Sheng's research institute will gain popularity before the Imperial Research Institute's competition begins. This kind of mecha competition is not generally shown in front of the public because of its small audience, but the major military corps and military academies have always paid attention to it, and the Imperial Research Institute has always made the competition process public to these two parties.
After all, it is a field closely related to these two parties. The major military corps and military academies have often discussed and studied the competition in previous years, and the judges' judgment will inevitably be affected by the opinions of these two parties.
Tang Kaiyuan's expression eased a lot. He knew that he had surpassed Bai Li in this step.
"Do you know the consequences?" Tang Xiao snorted and laughed, "Go get ready first, I'll call you when the time comes."
Tang Kaiyuan did not refuse again, turned around and walked out of the room.
The moment he closed the study door, he heard a dull sound of a fist hitting his body.
He did not look back, and walked back to his room in a daze after closing the door.
An Lun was lying on the soft big bed in the room sending text messages. Seeing Tang Kaiyuan coming back, he hurriedly closed the virtual screen.
"What's the matter?" An Lun looked at Tang Kaiyuan's face, "What happened? Where's Kuai Le, didn't you say you would come back together in the evening?"
Tang Kaiyuan loosened two buttons of his shirt before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the ground in a daze.
"I'm asking you," An Lun came over and nudged him, "What's going on?"
Tang Kaiyuan's head was numb, and he stiffly repeated what happened in the afternoon.
"I can't stand it." An Lun responded in a coquettish voice, "What a mess the Star Network has been in, and you dare to come up with such an idea. I tell you, it's just that Bai Li and Lu Zhao are too lazy to pay attention. If they make a sound and expose this matter now, the saliva of netizens alone can drown Kuai Le! And you, just based on your relationship with him, the Tang family will also be implicated!"
Tang Kaiyuan said, "Do you want me to watch Le Le suffer?"
"He asked for it!" An Lun snorted. "I won't say anything else. Bai Li used this as an excuse to report it to the marshal, and all the senior military officials knew about it. Do you think your chances of joining the First Legion will be affected?"
These words were almost the same as what Bai Li said in the afternoon. Tang Kaiyuan didn't say anything, but his temples began to throb with pain.
Everyone was talking about Bai Li, and everyone was reminding him that he was not as good as Bai Li.
His father accused him of not being able to suppress Bai Li, and An Lun said so too. Even in the afternoon, Lu Zhao only had Bai Li in his eyes...
Tang Kaiyuan shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
An Lun was still chattering to himself. After talking for a long time without getting a response, he rubbed Tang Kaiyuan's back with his toes.
"Stop it." Tang Kaiyuan still sat there with his shoulders slumped. After a while, he said sullenly, "I just..." He
couldn't finish his words.
"What happened just now?" An Lun asked.
Tang Kaiyuan half-closed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "I feel like the relationship between my father and mother seems to be... I don't know, I can't say for sure."
"What's there to say about it?" An Lun turned over and didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it just that your father beat your mother?" This
remark made Tang Kaiyuan jump up like a thunderbolt.
"What did you say?" Tang Kaiyuan was shocked. "Impossible!"
"What's impossible? This is a common thing in our place. I thought there wouldn't be such a place on the main star." An Lun looked at him. "You really don't know? It doesn't seem like it. I thought you were pretending not to see it. After all, it was so obvious."
Tang Kaiyuan's mind was blank. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Who are you scolding?" An Lun was unhappy. "If you don't believe me, go and lift up your mother's clothes and take a look. I tell you, I've seen the eyes of omegas who are used to being beaten. I can tell what's going on at a glance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Kaiyuan grabbed the small pillow on the bed and smashed it on An Lun's face: "My father would not do such a thing! Do you know what kind of noble family the Tang family is? You can't compare to the nobles from a small place like you!"
Although the pillow didn't hurt, An Lun still screamed: "What are you crazy about! Don't say you don't feel anything, you just don't admit it!"
Tang Kaiyuan stood there, his hands and feet stiff.
Did he not admit it? Did he not feel anything at all?
The heavy door of the study room reappeared in his mind, and he found that even in his memory, he did not dare to push open the door.
"My parents are both from aristocratic families, and they are a model couple," Tang Kaiyuan said with a fist, "What do you know? They are the best couple in the aristocratic circle, and we are the most envied family!"
An Li looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed.
"I know," he said softly, "You don't mind your father beating your mother, you mind them depriving you of the bright spot that makes you envied."
Tang Kaiyuan's heart stopped for a second.
In this second, what flashed before his eyes was Bai Li's eyes at his birthday party.
When he held his father's left hand and his mother's right hand and walked past the table full of gifts, Bai Li looked at him with that look.
That look told Tang Kaiyuan that he had defeated Bai Li at this moment.
He has something that Bai Li will never have in his life - a complete and happy family.
The sense of satisfaction has made him bring this up countless times in front of Bai Li at school. Although Bai Li never expressed anything, he knew that Bai Li was suffering.
This realization once made Tang Kaiyuan tremble with excitement.
He did not push open the door, because he knew that if the truth behind the door was bloody, he would forever lose the key to completely suppress Bai Li.
He also had to accept a father who was not glorious and a mother stained with blood.
Tang Kaiyuan pushed away An Lun who came up to comfort him and rushed out of the bedroom almost like he was escaping.
He rushed to the door of the study room and stood in front of it, but his arms seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift them at all.
The door was opened from the inside, and Tang Xiao was stunned: "What are you doing standing here?" Tang
Kaiyuan looked at him and smelled the residual pheromone smell coming from the room.
"Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" Tang Xiao frowned, "Go and pack up quickly, be smart when you see the young master in the evening, don't waste the line that your father has set for you."
The line that his father has set for you.
Tang Kaiyuan vaguely realized that if it weren't for Tang Xiao, he might not have shortcuts in many things.
"Hurry up!" Tang Xiao urged again.
Tang Kaiyuan stood there for a few seconds, not hearing Mrs. Tang's voice. He closed his eyes, said "hmm", and slowly turned around.
He had his back to the door.
So the door didn't exist.
The hot oil was poured on the prepared chili powder, and a "sizzling" sound aroused a fragrance that went straight to the nose.
Bai Li sneezed at the smell, and the pot in his hand shook: "I haven't made this kind of seasoning for a long time. I forgot why I didn't make it, but now I remember it."
Lu Zhao was also a little shocked by the overbearing fragrance. Just as he was about to ask why he didn't make it, he heard the housekeeper robot scream.
"The indoor air pollution is serious!" The fat man screamed in a coquettish voice, "My enemy, you want to die!"
Then he started to circle around the room like crazy, bumping into Bai Li's uninjured leg, and reporting the pollution level to Lu Zhao all the time, screaming at the top of his voice. If it wasn't programmed to prevent it from leaving this room, it would probably have rushed out of the door and run away from home in the next second.
Lu Zhao coughed several times, not knowing whether he was frightened by the robot butler or stung by the smell.
Bai Li laughed and fell down, sneezing as he laughed.
"Can it," Lu Zhao said, covering his nose and choosing his words, "calm down for a while?"
"No," Bai Li said, "It will stop screaming when the smell in the house is almost gone, but it will continue to scold me for ten minutes."
Lu Zhao was convinced. The
house was in chaos with the smell of chili and sneezing, accompanied by the crazy robot butler, and the individual was shocked at this moment.
Lu Zhao coughed and took out his personal terminal to check: "Huo Cun replied."
Bai Li poured the seasoning on the vegetables: "Did you find out?"
"Yes," Lu Zhao enlarged the virtual screen so that Bai Li could see it, "I checked the communication information and found out that this person was the one who sent the message to Kuai Le."
There was a strange face on the virtual screen, and neither Bai Li nor Lu Zhao knew him.
Because of Lu Zhao and Bai Li's identities, as well as the pressure from the military, the police station handled the matter very efficiently.
After confirming that neither Bai Li nor Lu Zhao knew these two people, the police station used photos to compare the database and quickly found the information of this person. Judging from the files alone, this person did not seem to be someone who could reach out to Lu Zhao, but a piece of information about the company this person had worked for caught the attention of Huo Cun, who was still in the police station to follow up on the progress.
Not long after, Huo Cun sent a message about the company.
"Let's take a look," Bai Li smiled, "an acquaintance."
Lu Zhao quickly browsed the message and was stunned for a moment: "Gao's company?"
Then he recalled the brief conflict with the Gao family during the last physical examination.
He basically went for physical examinations alone, and had never seen any acquaintances. Few people knew about his post-war damage. The only time he was caught in the hospital was at the Gao family.
"No wonder the Gao family had that attitude on the cruise ship before," Bai Li put down his bowl and chopsticks and replied to a text message, "Tell the police about this. The police should be able to find evidence soon. Say hello to the lawyers on the Bai family's side, and get ready to deal with the Gao family as well."
As soon as the text message was sent, Bai Li's personal terminal vibrated again.
There were two words written in the sender column: Zhou Yue.
The content of the text message was very simple, and it also came with a survey report. Bai Li read it quickly and couldn't help but sneer.
Lu Zhao chewed half of the vegetables in his mouth and looked up at Bai Li.
"The gossip about the Imperial Research Institute that has been circulating before, about the selection tendency of the recruitment competition," Bai Li said, "Do you still remember it?"
Lu Zhao said "hmm".
"The source of the news has been almost found. I am also impressed by Zhou's speed, which is much faster than mine." Bai Li pushed the personal terminal to Lu Zhao to see.
In fact, Zhou Yue's idea was similar to Bai Li's. They both thought that this gossip was very strange. So he had already started the investigation before discussing cooperation with Bai Li. Now that the results are almost out, he sent a piece of intelligence to the new partner.
The report was too long, so Lu Zhao didn't read it carefully. However, the information on Zhou Yue's text message was short and clear, with only a few words: The source was found, and it was suspected to be Lin Sheng's work.
"He stretched his hand too far." Lu Zhao frowned, "I can report it to the higher-ups."
Bai Li closed the personal terminal and shook his head: "If you report it now, the Lin family will suppress it. The military still has to give face to the royal family. It's hard to make a statement if there is no evidence. Even if there is evidence, as long as it's not a big deal, they can find a way to cover it up and cover it up."
This kind of thing is the same no matter where it is and in which era.
As long as there are classes, power, and selfishness, this kind of thing will not stop.
Lu Zhao had a hard time swallowing. The cold dishes prepared by Bai Li were spicy and refreshing, but now they were a little bland in his mouth. He had a strong sense of powerlessness. This feeling was very subtle, making him realize that there were very few things he could do. It was also the first time that he felt disappointed with his lack of ability in this area.
"Eat," Bai Li picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to him, "Eat it quickly. I made this dish after Fatty Yuan scolded me."
Fatty Yuan actually stopped scolding him at this time, but the soft scream just now still remained in Lu Zhao's mind.
"What you picked up for me was all chili slices." Lu Zhao took a look.
Bai Li couldn't help laughing: "The green peppers aren't spicy."
Major General Lu was not picky either, he stuffed mouthfuls into his mouth, and asked after a while: "What are you going to do?"
Bai Li didn't answer him immediately, he just said: "I snatched Zhou's from Lin Sheng, you know that, right?" "
I know."
"There are not many peers in the field involved in Zhou's, and there are only a few famous ones in the empire." Bai Li drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and said as he ate the food, "People like Lin Sheng will not cooperate with small companies, and big companies have almost all negotiated cooperation partners. Without Zhou's, Lin Sheng will have to register for the competition at the end of the year. Time is so tight, he can choose few partners."
Lu Zhao paused and understood: "He will choose Gao's."
"He can only choose the Gao family," Bai Li curled his lips, "but the Gao family is now involved in the information trading business, and he still knows nothing. He probably feels happy at the moment, thinking that he can win the championship in the recruitment competition right away."
"You mean," Lu Zhao pondered for a while, "this matter will also affect Lin Sheng."
"The Gao family's matter is at most a disclosure of personal privacy. In the past, it could have been easily dealt with. Now it is at the center of the storm, and the military will definitely not let him off easy," Bai Li finished the last mouthful of porridge, "After the matter comes out, public opinion will definitely explode. The Gao family will suffer from the spit alone, and Lin Sheng, who has cooperated with the Gao family, will also have to bear the brunt of it."
There is no shortage of people who do good things in the world, and there is no shortage of people who stare at cracks and dig deep.
As long as you stand on the right side, it is easy to dig along. The partner's means are dirty. Do you know it, Lin Sheng? If you know, how to deal with it? It's fine if you can clear it, but the fear is that not only can you not clear it, but also the black material will be dug up.
People like Lin Sheng never lack dirt on others, they just lack the first shovel.
Knowing that Bai Li knew what was going on, Lu Zhao's mood eased a little and he said nothing.
Bai Li looked at him. Lu Zhao half-lowered his eyes and there was no unnecessary expression on his face.
Perhaps because the temporary mark between the two had not weakened yet, Bai Li felt that his mood did not rise because the problem was solved.
Until dinner was over and the dishes were cleared away, Bai Li felt that the subtle emotion continued to surround Lu Zhao.
He shook his hands in the sink and shouted to Lu Zhao who was picking drinks in the refrigerator: "Flowers."
Lu Zhao stood up, took two bottles of drinks and walked over, handing one to Bai Li.
"You're not very happy," Bai Li took a sip and looked at Lu Zhao, "tell me more about it?"
The tone was like he had discovered something new. Lu Zhao's brows relaxed and he untied the bottle cap: "Not really."
Not really unhappy.
"Come here," Bai Li pulled him to the clean table next to the sink, "Let Li Li hear what's bothering Major General brother."
Lu Zhao laughed.
After laughing, he didn't answer. He leaned on the edge of the table with his back to the table. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "I just found that there are really few things I can do to help you."
Bai Li was stunned.
"There's very little we can do," Lu Zhao turned his head to look at him, "because you and I are not the kind of people who can only walk down with the support of others."
This feeling is very subtle.
Lu Zhao and Bai Li are actually the same kind of people. Regardless of gender, they both have a strong desire to protect each other. But this desire to protect each other is quite powerless when they meet an equally strong opponent, because they know very well that the deepest damage to each other is not physical, but inner.
But this kind of damage is unhealable, the scar will only fade, not disappear.
And they can never intervene in the time when each other was scarred.
Bai Li almost understood what Lu Zhao meant when he said this. What happened in the past few days actually had some impact on Lu Zhao.
First, he watched the crisis faced by the institute, and then he was told that his application to the army was rejected. Lu Zhao realized that his original life rhythm was too simple. He was an eagle of the empire in his own field, but he couldn't get involved in the concrete field of Bai Li.
"Not everyone has to support each other to be considered as having deep feelings and helping each other." Bai Li put one hand on the edge of the table and thought for a while, "We don't have that kind of relationship where you support each other."
Lu Zhao looked at him.
"We hold hands," Bai Li said, "and we have to twist our wrists from time to time."
Although Bai Li was usually the one who was twisted.
Lu Zhao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it. He laughed: "Fuck." He said, "Hand in hand, going to the bathroom."
Bai Li remembered that this was a promise he made to Lu Zhao before attending the Tang's dinner. If he had to pee, he would go hand in hand with Lu Zhao.
"You remember all this." Bai Li laughed and hugged Lu Zhao. "Do you think you were depressed just now?"
Lu Zhao was hugged by him, thought for a while, and said frankly: "I don't know."
"You don't know this." Bai Li sighed.
"I don't know," Lu Zhao said, "I've never felt this way before."
Bai Li was speechless for a while, and then he exhaled after a long while.
He understood that he made Lu Zhao feel this way.
Just as Lu Zhao woke him up from his sleep and faced reality, he also pulled the Imperial Eagle down from the sky.
Lu Zhao's honesty made Bai Li's heart beat wildly. He hugged Lu Zhao and buried his face in his neck.
Before he could say a word to express his emotion, he heard Lu Zhao's "tsk".
"You rubbed me all over with oil." Lu Zhao said, "Why are you still wearing this?"
Bai Li's emotion was immediately swallowed back into his stomach. He looked down and saw that he was indeed wearing an apron when he was cooking. It was a half-length waistcoat. He felt like a chef.
"Fuck," Bai Li cursed, and both hands were on the edge of the table, squeezing Lu Zhao between his arms, "Can you let me keep my emotion for a minute longer? The atmosphere was pretty good just now."
Lu Zhao laughed.
"Help me untie it." Bai Li said.
Lu Zhao didn't understand: "What?"
"Waistband," Bai Li said lazily, "Will it not rub you with oil?"
He rested his chin on the crook of Lu Zhao's neck, without moving, letting Lu Zhao untie the waistband, but he didn't turn around.
Lu Zhao's lips moved, without saying a word, he stretched out his hands to wrap around Bai Li's waist, and used both hands to untie the belt tied at the back of Bai Li's waist.
The hands of the mecha were groping at his lower back. This cognition made Bai Li's nerves tense suddenly, he buried his face down, his lips pressed against Lu Zhao's skin, and felt the hands pulling the belt of the waistband a few times, but it didn't tear it apart, but instead pulled up a corner of the clothes at the back of the waist, and Lu Zhao's fingers touched Bai Li's skin.
"Go on," Bai Li said, "Aren't you going to help me?"
Lu Zhao's arms tightened around Bai Li's waist and pulled her into his arms.
"What kind of help?" Lu Zhao's voice was a little hoarse.
Bai Li said seriously, "Untie my waist."
Lu Zhao's leg rubbed the place where Bai Li was pressing against him, "What kind of help?"
The smell of pheromones in the air became thicker, and Bai Li realized that his shameless bottom line could be lowered even lower. He grabbed Lu Zhao's hand on his waist with his backhand and guided the hand in through the seam of his clothes.
"This kind of help," Bai Li said.
Hand in hand help.
At the end of the year, all kinds of miscellaneous things piled up together. When the heat of public opinion about the rectification of the news industry had not yet subsided, another bomb blew up the tolerance of the citizens of the empire.
Once the news of the leak of the medical records of soldiers by the staff of the military hospital was reported, it caused an uproar in public opinion. The wording of the report was very clever, hiding the identity of the soldiers and the specific condition of the soldiers, and only reporting on the point that the patients' personal information was bought and sold, which severely slapped the face of the first heir who had just made a sharp speech at the Military Academy that "we must absolutely put an end to things that smear the image of the soldiers."
As early as some time ago, when news about veterans and their families being treated unfairly came out, the anger of the citizens of the Empire had already been ignited. This report was like a pot of oil, directly thrown on the citizens' heads.
Medical records leaked! What kind of concept is this!
If even the military hospital cannot guarantee 100% respect for the privacy of military personnel, then where else can these soldiers be held accountable?
The public was outraged, and all major social platforms were full of criticism. The military hospital removed the digital leader overnight.
Another insider revealed the identity of the doctor who leaked the data and the identity of the reporter who bought the data. Internet users are the most powerful search engine. It didn't take long for them to dig up everything about Bancun and Kuai Le. It didn't matter that Bancun's social account was exposed, and the secondary account was found.
The comments made by the secondary account on the forum were exposed. The words were vicious and extreme. He had used the secondary account to curse his own patients on Starnet many times. Most of the patients in the military hospital are military personnel, so it is easy to imagine what kind of people Bancun insulted.
Also exposed were various bad deeds that Kuai Le had committed during his career, which were listed one by one by netizens, who called him a "standard negative example" and a "model of unscrupulous journalists". The company leaders where Kuai Le worked were overwhelmed and had to come forward to explain to the public and announced the dismissal of this employee on the spot.
The royal family once thought that the topic could be pushed to a new height as the popularity decreased. In the speech of the first heir at the Military Academy, the response to "how to view the media's wanton smearing of the image of soldiers" became empty talk, and the royal family's face was almost poked with a hole.
Within two days, students at the Military Academy posted the video of the speech on major forums.
This kind of speech was originally open to the public, but the location was set at the military academy, and the audience was mostly military or academy students. This was the first time that it attracted public attention.
Bai Li was sitting in the rest area of the research institute, browsing the news. He had just finished an afternoon of simulated human-machine confrontation and was feeling a little tired. When he heard the first heir mention the Imperial Research Institute mecha competition that was about to start registration, he almost laughed out loud.
Originally, this was just a competition with a smaller audience, but it became popular because of this speech.
What's even more interesting is that at the end of the speech, the first heir also expressed his views on mechas and his favorite models, and mentioned Lin Sheng's research institute.
Bai Li understood the meaning of this. He just wanted to win some attention from military academies and major military groups for Lin Sheng. He didn't expect that the negative news of information trading would be directly brought to the public.
When Bai Li heard the first heir say "This institute has excellent mecha developers and excellent mecha pilots", he wanted to see Tang Kaiyuan's expression for a moment.
He felt that if he took a look at him, he would be able to smile until next year.
"I'm laughing like crazy, okay?" Situ leaned on the sofa backrest and watched along. "I was shocked when I saw this segment yesterday. I should have been angry. What's the difference between this and canvassing for votes before the game? But when I think about being slapped in the face right after I finished this speech, I don't even bother to be angry."
"This can be considered to have attracted a wave of attention," Bai Li also laughed. "At least more people know about Lin Sheng's research institute now."
Situ sighed: "Fuck, what the hell is this? It's so magical."
Isn't it magical, Bai Li thought, is it still called a stallion story if it's not magical?
These media originally revolved around Tang Kaiyuan. In the original work, Tang Kaiyuan returned to the main planet and was mentioned in the speech of the first heir at the military academy. Although it was not because of the mecha recruitment competition, it also attracted a lot of attention.
Because of this popularity, Tang Kaiyuan became the focus of many people's attention, and the original Bai Li was also dug out and stepped on several times. The original Bai Li's several insults to Tang Kaiyuan in his youth were also brought up again, which prepared for the confrontation between the two brothers not long after, and also increased the pleasure brought by the original Bai Li being beaten in the later period.
Bai Li closed his eyes, not thinking about the original plot that still appeared in his mind from time to time, and turned to ask: "Hey, I remember you still have a lot of ordinary metal materials here, right?"
"Ah," the topic changed too quickly, Situ was still a little unresponsive, "Yes, yes, what for?"
Bai Li: "Give me some that you don't need."
It was almost the end of the year, and after Bai Li rejected countless plans, he felt that it would be more reliable to send Lu Zhao's first New Year's Eve gift through his own hands.
Situ set aside a small workshop for him, fully equipped, and before leaving, he glanced at the personal terminal that Bai Li had placed aside, and on the virtual screen was the reference diagram that Bai Li had found.
"Damn it," Situ's eyes widened, "Isn't this..."
On the screen was a retired mecha. This model had been discontinued, and the last batch had long been scrapped.
This was the first model that Lu Zhao had driven.
"Are you okay?" Bai Li turned around and glanced at him, "Can you go out if you have nothing to do? Tell your brother that the video of the speech at the Military Academy was posted well this time. Thank him for me."
Situ was pushed and was surprised: "What?! The video was posted by Si Dong?!"
"He didn't tell you?" Bai Li was also quite surprised, "He sent me the link right after he posted it, and asked me to take credit for it. I even gave him a red envelope of 5,000 star coins."
"No!" Situ was furious, "Is he my brother or your brother?!"
Bai Li couldn't stop laughing.
"What are you going to make?" Situ asked again, "Are you going to make this mecha model?"
"Make one about this size," Bai Li gestured a distance the length of his palm, "I'm making it for..." He laughed, "for Lu Zhao."
This is the first one, there will be a second and a third one in the future.
Lu Zhao has driven many types of mechas.
They will have many more years to live.
