CH 96.2

The family members of the victims alone wouldn’t be enough. It was best for the survivors to come out and make statements in person. Even if they were gagged later, Lin Luo and Xing Mo wouldn’t be able to clear away the stain from being charged of treason!

“Yes, father!” Xing Shang immediately sent a communication request to Xue Ning.

After a few beeps, the communication was connected, and Xue Ning’s beautiful face appeared in the picture on the light brain.

“What’s the matter?” Xue Ning was obviously hiding in a corner of an aisle, looking around with a slightly nervous expression for fear that someone would find out that she was talking with someone else.

“Xiao Ning, when will I get the list of survivors?”

“It already wasn’t easy for me to get that video clip for you. Now that the screenshots of the video are going around, someone was sent over about it. It’s really inconvenient for me to do that right now.” Xue Ning lowered her voice, “You guys were too impatient. Why didn’t you investigate it first instead of just stabbing out so quickly?”

“What else needed to be investigated? After all, you got the video from the military department. Could it be fake?” Xing Shang smiled coldly, “Just let everyone see what kind of creature my sanctimonious elder cousin is!”

“It’s just that the shuttle ship exploded so violently, and the recording chip was seriously damaged. The video recovered from the chip was only a short section of it. I don’t know all of the ins and outs of what really happened, so if it was out of context, just in case…”

“What do you mean ‘if’? Do you think my elder cousin is innocent? Xue Ning, let me tell you, don’t forget whose fiancée you are!” When the Xue family originally proposed marriage, they actually looked for Xing Mo at first. Xue Ning had been to the Xing family several times and always asked Xing Mo to talk to her. After Xing Shang awakened his mental powers and gradually gained power, the Xue family made Xue Ning get engaged to him. At that time, Xing Shang felt that Xue Ning knew that Xing Mo was a waste that couldn’t be upgraded, so he was still relatively optimistic about his engagement.

Xue Ning’s expression suddenly became difficult to look at when she heard that, and she bit her lower lip and stopped talking.

As soon as the words came out, Xing Shang realized that he was going too far, and immediately changed his words, “I’m sorry, Xiao Ning, I was just… just a little impulsive…”

Xue Ning put on a somewhat ugly smile and accepted his apology.

“My dad said that the public’s opinion is basically one-sided now. When the time comes, all we need to do is let the families of the deceased come out to make a big deal of things. At that time, in order to give the public an explanation, the military department will definitely need to investigate the situation and file a case openly. As long as there is this video as evidence, they absolutely won’t have a leg to stand on.”

“Ok……”

“Let’s do this; you go try to see if you have a chance to get the list of survivors! My dad said it would be better to have the survivors’ testimonies.”

“Got it.”

Seeing that Xue Ning’s attitude was cold and Xing Shang knew he was wrong, he ended the call angrily.

*********

At the home of Xing Mo and Lin Luo, Xing Mo’s parents couldn’t sit still after seeing the comments on StarNet.

“Son, are we really not responding? We just sit around and let them slander you like this?” Xing Mo’s mother couldn’t bear the foul language on StarNet.

At first, under Lin Luo’s social media platform, there were still many sane fans who questioned things, but soon they were suppressed by the rush of abuse. The comment area had since become so filthy that it was impossible to read it.

“Mom, just leave it alone. I know what I’m doing.” Compared with his riled up parents, Xing Mo and Lin Luo, who were the parties involved, were quite calm.

“But…” Xing Mo’s mother wanted to say something, but was dragged off by her husband.

“Okay, okay, don’t you understand our son? He said it’s okay, so he must be okay.” After seeing that Xing Mo was indeed being confident rather than brave, Xing Mo’s father took his wife and left.

After Xing Mo’s parents both left, he patched through a communication with Yin Ye.

“How is the situation?” Xing Mo asked.

“As expected, they didn’t even check it; they just bit the hook directly. It’s really stupid.” Yin Ye’s voice was full of disdain.

“Humph.” Xing Mo snorted coldly. “It’s time to have them stopped for good. I didn’t care about them in the past for my dad’s sake. Now that my dad has retired, I don’t need to care about his reputation being tied to it as patriarch anymore.”

“Haha, you’re absolutely right. Those people’s hearts are so dark that they would dare to pour any sort of dirty water on you.” Yin Ye said with a sneer, “I can’t wait to see the next good show.”

The incident of interstellar pirates attacking a civilian shuttle ship caused a huge sensation. In addition to the dead and injured imperial citizens who needed to be settled and dealt with, there was also the background check on the traitor who really colluded with the interstellar pirates- Fatty Ma. Since further investigation was needed, the Empire had been handling the follow-up quietly.

However, they didn’t expect that the Xing family would take advantage of a leak. They felt that these people were really imaginative. Based on such few words of news, they guessed that Xing Mo and Lin Luo were traitors and wanted to pour dirty water on them. In that case, it would be better to just give them some ‘evidence’.
