CH 14

Chapter 14 - He’s a bird in a cage, and Xie Ruheng is a phoenix that soars for nine days.

The lawyer's letter signed by the gold medal law firm and their ace lawyers was standardized, clear, well-organized and full of deterrence. If you looked at it from a timid and fearful person’s point of view, most of them would be intimidated.

But who is Qin Jun? If he was afraid of things, he would’ve been frightened by what he has already committed, how could he not be domineering here?

Qin Jun snorted and looked at the words that were nothing more than “You insulted Young Master Tang, if you don't bow your head and admit your mistakes and apologize, we will sue you.” The legal consequences were very serious, but what about the evidence?

Where is the evidence for him insulting Tang Bai?

Last night, he found someone to destroy the video content on the monitor that wasn’t favorable to him. No matter how much Tang Bai tossed, he would only find a few witnesses.

There’s no way to take him down with mere witnesses.

Qin Jun’s eyes were full of cold sarcasm. He was too lazy to play some house games with a weakly chirping little omega like Tang Bai and exited off the message. Qin Jun squinted his eyes and continued to think about what to do about Xie Ruheng.

Cleaning the toilet is just an appetizer. This outcast damaged his majestic self and must use his life to atone for his sins.

*

Tang Bai was using his coquetry skills to ask Grandpa Tang to send a group of “cleaning teams” to take care of the cleaning work of the Federal Military Academy this semester.

These “cleaning teams” were not cleaners engaged in low-level manual labor, but the “scavenger” series robot team of the Weapons Research Institute!

There are two reasons for such a response. One is that even if the ordinary cleaning team enters, they will be distracted by Qin Jun and instruct Xie Ruheng to work.

Second, Tang Bai didn’t want Xie Ruheng to remain passive.

Because of the butterfly effect, the plotline has deviated a bit from the original. In the original book, Qin Jun and Xie Ruheng met in etiquette class. This time they formed Quantum during the military training stage. Tang Bai was worried that Qin Jun would do some small actions that Xie Ruheng didn’t have to deal with in the book.

As long as there’s the protection of the “Sweeper” series of robots, Xie Ruheng's safety factor will be different.

If Qin Jun dared to hurt Xie Ruheng at school, Tang Bai would dare to blow up Qin Jun.

“Blow up” in the literal sense.

Thinking of this, his amber eyes were like some kind of cold and expensive jewelry.

The method of suicide protection for the robot was developed by Tang Bai inadvertently tampering with the program. Even Grandpa Tang didn't know that his seemingly weak and unable to take care of himself baby grandson would do such a thing.

In fact, Tang Bai has been following the rules for so many years, he stayed quiet and is a well-behaved little omega in his grandfather's mind, suppressing his interest and talent in mecha manufacturing, and persuading himself to accept the fate of being nurtured by an alpha for a lifetime.

After so many years of self-persuasion, Tang Bai almost gave up struggling.

Although he could accept such a fate, Tang Bai didn’t allow Xie Ruheng to suffer all this.

He is a bird in a cage, and Xie Ruheng is a phoenix that soars for nine days. Before he met Xie Ruheng, he never knew that the glow of burning life was so dazzling.

That dazzling appearance is the existence he’s willing to follow with everything.

Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. Xie Ruheng's safety is Tang Bai's minefield, and he’ll explode as soon as he steps on it.

Looking at his baby grandson's unhappy look, Grandpa Tang sighed helplessly.

“Oh, you, you, you know that the old men from the Mechanical Department of the Federal Military Academy were crying tears in front of me. Didn't I promise to lend them the “Sweeper”?” Grandpa Tang said, “I really took it.” He said with a “You can't help it” expression, grabbed his beard and said: “One month, you can only lend it out for one month, one more day won’t work!”

Tang Bai blinked his eyes, solemnly pressed his chest with his small hands, put on a poem recitation posture, and said affectionately: “God, I am so happy! Because I have the best grandpa in the world~”

A rainbow fart uses three tones, and the sound is so sweet that it seems to be wrapped in sticky honey. When Tang Bai wants to please others, he subconsciously uses this babble tone, this time it included a cute expression, it could be said that it was very hard.

Not everyone likes a beautiful little omega to act like a baby online, but Grandpa Tang ate this scene very well. His expression changed from “I can't do anything with you” to “Oh, I can't do it”.

Grandpa Tang stroked his beard that was all over his face and said: “Okay, just use your sweet mouth, let's talk, what else do you want from me, this bad old man?”

With Grandpa Tang's understanding of his precious grandson, he knew that one thing alone couldn't make Tang Bai act so hard.

Sure enough, Tang Bai, the little actor, suddenly felt aggrieved. He rubbed his eyes, and his fingertips slipped through the thick eyelashes, leaving a red mark on the end of his eyes, and his eyes were red, just like he was crying.

After brewing his emotions, Tang Bai sent Qin Jun's words of scolding him recorded by the lawyer to Grandpa Tang, and he himself sat beside his grandpa without saying a word, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The chubby Grandpa Tang looked at the text on the light brain, but he didn't notice it for a while, and he almost pulled out his beard with increased force in his hand.

——“Stray”

——“Used omega”

The face that always smiled and looked very talkative, after the kind expression faded, his whole body was like a Tang sword out of its sheath, even if others didn't know his identity, no one would think that this was an ordinary old man.

“Only written records, no surveillance video?” Grandpa Tang asked slowly.

Tang Bai hurriedly made a small report: “I suspect that Qin Jun erased the surveillance video that was unfavorable to him!”

The surveillance content destroyed by Qin Jun may be tricky for ordinary people to find, but the entire Federal Military Academy's surveillance system was purchased from the Federal Arms Research Institute. As the head of the research institute, if Grandpa Tang wanted to restore surveillance video it would be a piece of cake.

Grandpa Tang took out a pair of reading glasses and turned on his light brain. His chubby fingers were flying flexibly on the keyboard. Tang Bai leaned forward with bright eyes and watched Grandpa Tang's operation process.

Grandpa Tang never evaded Tang Bai when he did these things, maybe because he felt that Tang Bai couldn't understand even if he saw it, or it was a habit left by his childhood.

Before the age of six, when Tang Bai had not yet differentiated, his grandfather would always teach Tang Bai a lot of knowledge about mechanics, and Tang Bai was able to get through it one point at a time, which made Grandpa Tang very comfortable.

Grandpa Tang’s son, Tang Bai’s father didn’t have the talent for making weapons. Instead, he developed a business mind. Although his father’s company grew bigger and bigger, the Tang family was not short on money. What Grandpa Tang wanted was someone who could inherit his legacy.

Grandpa Tang likes Tang Bai very much.

When Tang Bai was in his first year of school, he held his mecha model and didn't let go. Tang Bai's toys were all made by Grandpa Tang himself when he was a child. The super-scaled version of the interstellar battleship was Tang Bai's childhood transportation tool.

There are 673 operation keys on the normal-sized battleship, and the reduced version of the battleship also has 300 operation keys. Even if a normal adult spends a month memorizing the position of the keyboard and the corresponding function of each keyboard, he still controls the battleship immaturely. He has to be in a hurry at times, and the rate of overturning on the road is extremely high.

But four-year-old Tang Bai spent a day before he became a novice driver and went on the road safely.

He drove the small battleship to go shopping with his grandfather. When he went there, Grandpa Tang taught him knowledge about mechanics. When he came back, Tang Bai could recite it with a hearty voice.

However, when Tang Bai differentiated into an omega, Grandpa Tang never taught Tang Bai to do this again, and he sealed all the toys that were not suitable for omega and they were slowly covered in dust.

“Recovered.” Grandpa Tang's voice separated Tang Bai's thoughts from the memory. He looked at Grandpa's light brain and found that there were two videos stored in it.

To Tang Bai's puzzled gaze, Grandpa Tang seemed to see the person who always liked to ask questions, why the mechanical bearing couldn’t be in the shape of a love heart, and why the Star Warship couldn’t be sprayed with pink milk dumplings.

He thought he had an alpha grandson, but God made a joke on him.

For so many years, he gave up teaching Tang Bai and was overly pampering, but ah...

This omega also needs to be taught.

We must also learn to arm ourselves and protect ourselves so that even if one day he (GPT) is gone, his Tangtang will not be bullied.

Although he can’t teach his omega grandson to build machinery, he can teach Tang Bai other things.

Grandpa Tang's slightly muddy eyes became very gentle. He gently touched Tang Bai's head with his warm hands. “I found that Qin Jun deleted more than one surveillance video. In another video, he raped/violently bit an omega.”

“Tangtang, Grandpa gave you these two videos, do you know what to do next?”

Federal Military Academy, Office of Political Education.

“Teacher Zhao, didn't the matter between Qin Jun and Xie Ruheng get resolved yesterday? Why do you want to call Qin Jun over again today.” A teacher spoke.

“An omega from the college next door sent me something today with a video record of Qin Jun insulting the omega.” The alpha, known as Teacher Zhao, called out the restored surveillance record.

In the video, Qin Jun’s scolding was so clear that many teachers in the office couldn't help but frown.

“Student Qin Jun slandered an innocent omega student, and his words were extreme, his words were meant to inflict the omega, and had a bad influence.” Teacher Zhao calmly said.

“Hey, Mr. Zhao, you’re wrong to say that. I think Qin Jun didn't say the name of the omega from beginning to end. Did the omega student who reported the matter set it up?”

Teacher Wang shook his head and continued: "Some omegas are not in their right mind. Qin Jun is targeting those omegas who don’t cherish themselves. I hope those omegas understand shame and learn to reflect on themselves. I think Qin Jun’s use of words is a bit extreme, but he has no harmful intentions."

“Oh, is it?” Teacher Zhao calmly said, “But Xie Ruheng, Qiu Yan, and Gu Tunan can all testify that what Qin Jun denigrated was an innocent omega.”

“Does Mr. Wang know who the supposed unscrupulous and uncaring-for-life omega is?”

“He is the little son of the Tang family, Director Tang's favorite grandson, classmate Tang Bait.”

Teacher Wang suffocated on his breath, his face turned ugly in an instant, he smirked, “Teacher Zhao, don't spit on people, I never said that Young Master Tang is that kind of omega, I was just analyzing Qin Jun's thoughts at the time.”

Teacher Zhao nodded and clicked on the next video. “Then Teacher Wang can explain what Qin Jun in this video was thinking at the time? Is he saving the omega?”

It was a coded and edited video with only the beginning and the end, but everyone present knew what was happening at a glance.

Teacher Wang's expression changed slightly. Verbally insulting an omega and strongly/violently violating an omega is completely different in nature.

And to make matters worse, it wasn’t a powerless omega who exploded this incident, but the little Tang son, who was the favorite of the Tang family.

If he knew that Qin Jun provoked Tang Bai, even if the Qin family gave him more money, he wouldn’t be able to defend Qin Jun.

Qin Jun’s knock on the door broke the solemn atmosphere. As soon as he opened the door, he felt a completely different atmosphere from last night. Almost all the teachers present looked at him displeasedly, and Mr. Wang, who helped him handle the surveillance video avoided his sight.

The teachers in the Federal Military Academy are at least A-level alphas. The oppression of several A-level adult alphas together was far from what Qin Jun could bear. He took it with a careless expression and hesitated: “Mr. Zhao, what do you want me to do? Do I need to do something for you?”

Teacher Zhao cast out a discontented look with a cold face.

A screenshot of a processed video was floating in the air, and Qin Jun opened his eyes in disbelief. He obviously had the surveillance video completely destroyed. How could anyone find it out?!

“Student Qin, if you have listened carefully to the general course of law, then you should know Article 3 of the 《Federal Omega Rights Protection Act》: Those who use violence, oppression or other means to rape omegas shall be punished for more than ten years in imprisonment, life imprisonment or the death sentence.”

“In the death penalty for rape, hanging is retained. It’s said that when death row prisoners see the execution process of hanging their heads on the execution ground, those who were still alive got scared to death.”

The bruise on his neck was faintly painful as if an invisible rope was restricting his neck, making Qin Jun's eyes black and almost unable to stand firm.

T/N: I really underestimated Tang Bai in the beginning of the story, I thought that he was just a confident person who was aware of his shortcomings and his privilege. He really had it tough when it came to accepting his true self and his interests and decided to give up on them. I’m really glad that Tang Bai is able to take a step in accepting himself with the help of Xie Ruheng. When I was reading this at the beginning I was thinking to myself that this bastard Qin Jun should get some jail time or get the death penalty, whaddya know….

Outcast damaged his majestic self - ok so in the translation “outcast” is translated as outcast and pariah, which is a member of a low caste in southern India. I didn’t want to translate it as something that seems offensive so I went with outcast. But in this part, Qin Jun referred to himself as “majesty” which, as you can see, just further explains how sick-in-the-head this guy is.

GPT - abbreviation for Grandpa Tang.

Denigrated - criticize unfairly; disparage.
