Chapter 754: An Uproar on the Web

By the time we brought in the new batch of survivors, which came out to about 200 hundred or so, it was already night. It was also at this time that I got a notification on my electronic AI about another video call from aunty Xinqing -I had just taken my first bite of dinner too

Even without answering, I could already tell that this call would have something to do with Zuoqiu Xinqing. As expected, I was immediately bombarded by aunty Xinqing half-screaming at me through the holographic display once it turned on.

Ke! Big news! The whole Gaia is ablaze right now! Her hands flailed about in a display of unfettered excitement. That video you sent me this afternoon exploded on the web like a nuke! Committee Member Lis ship has already sunk, and the other malefactors aboard his ship werent spared either I even heard that the committee member got invited to have a friendly chat with some investigators. That dishonest merchant, Xue Guode apparently he put on some weight to avoid being recognised, but too bad for him, even an insignificant person like him got tracked down by the investigators

Aunty Xinqing continued on like a machine gun, finally pulling out a couple of screenshots for me to peruse. Ke, look, here are some of the comments from watching Zuoqiu Shanming getting beaten up I knew it would blow up, but not this much!

The picture showed an entire hornets nest worth of comments flying across the screen. If one did not turn off the comments, nothing could be seen underneath at all. It just so happened that these comments were what I was actually here for.

All I can say is that I deeply sympathise, and am greatly angered at the same time, by Zuoqiu Shanmings treatment. Not only did they kill him, they even stuffed him in a food processor how do you expect me to eat my minced meat buns in the future?!

You cant un-see that! Geez!

How cruel, why wont these bad people just die!?

I feel that reporter was asking for it. This clearly wasnt his fight, and yet he had to stick his nose into it. Well, look at him now: dead.

Ah, that person who said Zuoqiu Shanming deserved it was my son. Im sorry for letting him out of his cage by accident. I should have chained his legs to prevent him from biting others.

Oh, hes your son? Well, why dont you stuff him into a meat processor? What are you still raising such a stupid son for? To show off at New Years?

Had it not been for the video blowing up so spectacularly, Li Shengjin would have actually gotten away with it. Unfortunately for him, we acted quickly by just releasing the video to the web.

However, this act could also be seen as detrimental to the council as well. After all, if someone as prominent as Li Shengjin was involved in murder and arms trafficking, how dirty would the entire Federation have to be?

But that wasnt a question we had to worry about. Our actions werent completely a negative either. At the very least, there were some higher-ups in the army who expressed their gratitude to us. Li Shengjins trafficking was a threat against their very well-being after all.

With their help, aunty Xinqing was probably going to be fine.

Before ending the video call, aunty Xinqing left behind a mysterious note, telling me to look out for good news in the future. A little puzzled, I closed the video feed and picked up my chopsticks. Yet the moment I did so, a notification from the general rudely interrupted me.

I guess dinner will have to wait

The holographic display popped up once more, nearly blinding me with a flash from the generals sparkly bald head. As always, he had on that silly grin.

Because of that whole fiasco with the weapons factory, my impression of him couldnt be any worse. He himself knew that his little slip up ended up being unpleasant for me. Thanks to that, he was even sillier than usual as he fumbled with an apology, nearly causing me to chortle in the process.

By that point, I couldnt bring myself to be angry. I wasnt even that angry to begin with, seeing as he was the reason I stumbled into Zuoqiu Shanming. The fact that we managed to give the poor reporter some comfort, and take out an evildoer in the process, was to be celebrated.

His reason for contacting me was simple: thanks to my exemplary performance, the military was making an exemption by granting me the rank of Colonel, and a medal of bravery.

The rank was immediate, but the medal was Well, they couldnt just mail it to me now. In other words, I had to wait till later to receive the commendation and attend a ceremony.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
