Chapter 49 The Unlucky Brother 4: Gaa's Rampage
Qi Wang smiled and said, "That was me lying, deliberately making up lies to slander them."
After saying this, Qi Wang did not speak again, but continued to look down at the book in his hands.
Seeing him like this, Qin Zhen felt a headache coming on. She sighed, got up and walked to Qi Wang's side, then sat down next to him.
"Xiao Si, you are all my children. Your older brothers and sisters are all very good people. They joined the army incognito and did not rely on the family's power to make their way in the world. They have won many battles and their perspectives are very different. I think there may be some misunderstanding between you."
Qin Zhen never believed that her three children could do such a despicable thing.
After they joined the army, they became more and more mature. When they occasionally met, they talked to her and her husband in a very organized manner, and their words were not childish.
War is cruel. Although the Zerg do not have the high technology of humans, they are physically strong and have a strong reproductive capacity. The battle between the Scorpion Empire and the Zerg has never stopped.
No matter how naive and innocent a person is, once they have been on the battlefield and been tempered by war, they will be transformed and become a completely different person.
Qin Zhen felt that there might be some misunderstanding between Qi Wang and his brothers and sisters.
After all, he was just a B-level mental power user, an ordinary person. When facing an S-level mental power user, he might have other thoughts due to inferiority.
The deacons never said that the other three children bullied Qi Wang, nor did they instruct the deacons to bully anyone.
"Xiao Si, listen to me..."
Before Qin Zhen could say anything more, Qi Wang interrupted her.
"Mom, when you were telling me all this, you were already certain that the three of them wouldn't make a mistake. I misunderstood."
"It's true that I'm not talented, and it's also true that they bullied me. Or, Mom, can you give me a reason? Why would a B-level mental power user like me slander my older brothers and sisters?"
"Jealousy of them? Feeling unbalanced? Or simply wanting to smear them?"
Qi Wang's voice was calm, and he bluntly pointed out Qin Zhen's thoughts: "Their mental strength level is high, and they have been on the battlefield. They are heroes who protect their country. I am just an ordinary person. I have no ability and I am narrow-minded. They have no reason to target me because I am no threat to them. Mom, is that what you mean?"
Qi Wang's words were far too blunt, silencing Qin Zhen's thoughts. However, Qin Zhen had a good temper, and even though Qi Wang said that, she didn't get angry.
"So, can you tell me why they're targeting you? Are they bullying you?"
Qi Wang: "..."
He glanced at Qin Zhen but didn't say anything, continuing to look down at the book in his hands.
Qin Zhen waited for a long time, but seeing that Qi Wang still didn't speak, she couldn't help but call out again, "Xiao Si, why aren't you saying anything?"
Qi Wang reluctantly put down the book in his hand and looked up at his mother.
What am I supposed to say?
"Why do they bully me? Why are they targeting me? Don't you find it funny when you ask that question?"
"Is it because I did something wrong that they bully me? Could it be that they just don't like me? They think I'm just a B-level mental power user, a piece of trash, that my existence lowers the Qi family's prestige, and that I'm a disgrace to the entire Qi family, so they want to torture and humiliate me?"
"You should ask them, not me."
"The Qi family is so big, finding evidence shouldn't be difficult, right? Or are those stewards outsiders, servants who can be dealt with at will, so you can handle it impartially?"
“When it comes to my family, they are all god-level mental power users, so they can easily let go of my bullying and humiliation. And you still want to ask me why they bullied me.”
"Hehe, Mom, I think this is ridiculous."
Qin Zhen's attitude was already very clear. Although she didn't say it directly, from the moment she asked why they were bullying him, her heart was biased.
In the sibling relationship, the original owner was the absolute weaker party.
His mental strength was not high. Before he awakened, his mental strength was only B-level, while his three older brothers and sisters were either SS-level or S-level. Ask him why three god-level mental strength users bullied him, a B-level mental strength user, when he was a victim.
In such a severely unequal relationship, the victim has no choice whatsoever.
He must have done something wrong to be bullied.
This is something Qin Zhen didn't say aloud. Even if she didn't ask, subconsciously, that's what she was thinking.
"Mom, if you're willing to believe me and seek justice for me, that would be wonderful. If not, I won't force you. After all, in this family, I'm just a B-level mental power user, a complete waste. It's my own bad luck to be bullied by a god-level mental power user, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Qin Zhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Little Fourth, why do you say that..."
"Mom, you can go out now. I'm tired and I want to rest."
Seeing Qi Wang say this, Qin Zhen had no choice but to tell him to rest well before leaving Qi Wang's room.
As she watched the door close in front of her, Qin Zhen looked tired. She raised her hand to rub her temples and dragged her heavy steps to find Qi Nanping.
“Anan, the fourth brother said that apart from An Heiyu and the other deacons, the eldest, second and third brothers also participated in bullying him.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Nanping suddenly stood up: "What did you say?"
Seeing how agitated he was, Qin Zhen quickly spoke up to calm him down: "Don't worry, this matter hasn't been investigated yet. Perhaps Xiao Si has misunderstood, Boss..."
Qi Nanping was stunned, looking at Qin Zhen in astonishment: "What did you say? What did Xiao Si misunderstand? What does this have to do with Xiao Si?"
Qin Zhen was also stunned: "Isn't this a misunderstanding by Xiao Si? He..."
Qi Nanping interrupted her and said earnestly, "Azhen, Xiao Si won't misunderstand them. The eldest, second, and third brothers are all god-level mental power users. They are young and have made a name for themselves in the army. They are at the peak of their ambition and high spirits."
Qin Zhen: "...Isn't this a good thing?"
All three children are outstanding. Even without the help of their families, they can still stand firm in the army. They are so excellent, so why would they target Qi Wang?
It can't be that they're jealous that Qi Wang can rest peacefully at home, can it? That doesn't make sense.
Qi Nanping sighed and said helplessly, "Who says that bullying is only done out of jealousy? It can also be out of contempt, disdain, or a feeling that the other person is not on the same level as you."
"Haven't you seen enough of this kind of thing in the military?"
The people of the Scorpio Empire have already implicitly divided themselves into classes since the strength of their mental power was detected. Those with god-level mental power are high above and enjoy the best resources and training.
Because only those with god-level mental power can perfectly pilot mechs, and mechs are the most powerful weapons in the fight against the Zerg.
In the military, god-level mental power users are highly regarded. They are powerful and can often determine the outcome of a war. With the support of mechs, even a thousand-man squad composed of B-level mental power users cannot match the achievements of god-level mental power users.
"In the army, you've only ever heard of god-level mental power users bullying lower-level soldiers. When have lower-level soldiers ever bullied god-level mental power users?"
The two are not on the same level in terms of strength. Lower-level mental power users would not slander higher-level mental power users because the difference between them is too great. God-level mental power users are especially precious, and their dignity cannot be slandered.
If a low-level mental power user frames a god-level mental power user, the punishment will be either exiled to a frigid planet or killed on the spot by the god-level mental power user, while the low-level mental power user will not be punished in any way.
Even if it is eventually found that what the lower-level mental power users said is true, and that the god-level mental power users had humiliated them, the god-level mental power users who killed them will not be punished in any way.
Their deaths were in vain.
After all, in the entire Scorpion Empire, the number of god-level mental power users is rare, and they have a high status, so naturally they will not be treated the same as low-level mental power users.
"Xiao Si isn't stupid. If it's investigated and he makes baseless accusations against his own brother and sister, he could end up in jail. Besides, given his personality, do you really think he would frame his own brother and sister?"
Even if this matter gets out, no one will hear what a low-level mental power user like him says, since there are countless B-level mental power users in the entire empire.
In many people's minds, when a conflict arises between a person with advanced mental power and a person with low mental power, even if the person with advanced mental power is not at fault, they will not pay the price.
The voices of the weak will not be heard, and no one will care.
But that applies to the entire empire.
This is an internal family matter and won't be brought to the outside world. They can't view this from the perspective of high-level or low-level spiritual power users.
"Xiao Si wouldn't slander his older brother and sister, there's no need for it. Since he told us, it must be because he couldn't tolerate it anymore. As parents, we can't stand idly by."
Even if Qi Wang is just a low-level mental power user, he is their child, no different from Qi Wen, Qi Yu, and Qi Tang.
No matter how much those three children achieve or how many merits they make, these are all superficial.
If someone can even harm their own brother, then that's just too heartless.
"It's just bullying now, but what will happen if we don't stop it?"
"Although Xiao Si is only a B-level mental power user, his appearance is outstanding. If everything is based on profit and blood ties are ignored, they will do even more outrageous things in the future."
Qi Nanping spoke in a very serious tone, believing that this matter was no longer a trivial matter of his brothers and sisters joking or playing pranks.
Qin Zhen was persuaded by Qi Nanping: "What you said is right. It was indeed wrong of the boss and the others to do this. When I come back this time, I will ask them what happened."
Qi Nanping: "This is a very serious matter. We can't just ask questions; we need to make thorough preparations."
Qin Zhen nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Qi Wang witnessed the entire conversation between the couple. He then shut down his personal terminal, and the image on the virtual screen instantly disappeared.
They are not beyond redemption. Although they are a little biased, they are willing to correct their behavior when they realize things are going wrong.
That's already very good.
However, Qi Wang felt that they couldn't reach any conclusions with the three siblings of the Qi family.
