As a mother that had long grown used to the stubbornness of her daughter Jun ilin had also learned not to give in to silly tantrums and blackmail sches. So, she gave her daughter a heavy-handed stare.
"Eat your food." She ordered in a testy voice.
Mingzhu did not back down, she refused, tipping her small chin upwards.
Quiet enveloped the dining room, tension in the air was like a ga of chess where both players hovered over their next move, each calculating, each knowing that one wrong move could end it all. The stakes were high, and nobody dared to blink.
This tension had even extended among the relatives in the Jun/Chi family chat group who were watching the newest live episode of life with Jun ilin and General Mingzhu.
"Mo Mingzhu..." i i growled softly.
"You said I am not a Mo. My na is Jun Mingzhu. Jun Mingzhu wants to see her father or she won’t eat forever." Mingzhu replied.
"Oh..." i i scoffed, "Fine, don’t eat. I told you when you asked for him when we were doing howork that he is working. He will be ho soon."
"But I want to see him now." She whined. "I won’t eat, I won’t eat, Mingzhu won’t eat. Bad uncle went for work and he ca back with another child and said he would throw Mingzhu away. You are a liar, bring my good daddy." Mingzhu shouted and burst into tears.
i i pushed back the chair, stood up and quickly went to her daughter. She lifted her out of the chair and carried her out of the house with speed. Everyone chased after them wondering what it was that i i was going to do.
Would she lock Mingzhu out of the house!! Would they go and find Jingzhe? Would Mingzhu be getting a spanking?
They did not know what was going to happen. In confusion, they watched i i put Mingzhu in a car of and then they drove off.
"Where are they going?" Madam Feng asked.
Nobody knew so they shrugged.
"I better call Jingzhe." She murmured, turned and run back into the house.

Another family whose dinner was interrupted was the Tang family, specifically Tang Yue’s family. Just as four people settled at the table for their al, Imperial soldiers surrounded the entire apartnt block. Their weapons were in hand as they ordered people to leave or stay back.
So climbed up the stairs and others used the elevator to go up to the thirtieth floor where the Tang family used. Without knocking, they burst into the house and apprehended all the humans inside.
To avoid scaring the child Mo Hao, he was sprayed with a a gas that put him to sleep instantly and then he was carried outside.
The Tang family was already tense and scared. Seeing Mo Hao being carried off by soldiers frightened them even more.
"What are you doing? Give back my son right now." Tang Yue scread.
"You are scaring us, don’t you know that their is a pregnant woman in the house." Mrs. Tang yelled out nervously.
Jun Mingzhe entered the house sneering at the family. "We are here because of that pregnancy." He gestured at Chen Shanhe who had co along with the soldiers.
Chen Shanhe handed a docunt to Mrs. Tang. "Mrs. Tang, recent occurrences in a mber of the team that went for the space expedition have led us to your doorstep today. Mr. Mo Liang seems to have turned into a walking lightning conductor and there is suspicion that he is an alien parasite carrier.
Your daughter is the other person on the expedition that has been in close contact with him the most so it cannot be dismissed that she is not a possible a parasite carrier too. To reassure the citizens all over the world, we must taken her in and conduct so tests to ensure that her pregnancy is of the human species."
Tang Yue’s jaw dropped open. "What do you an? Are you trying to terminate my pregnancy?"
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "We would never do that."
"Unless it truly is an alien parasite." Jun Mingzhe felt the need to add with a smile on his face. "We would have no choice but to terminate. Of course, we have to wait for the features of whatever you are carrying to form properly so that we can confirm that it has human features. After that, we will probably wait for you give birth to it and we will put it under observation for at least a year."
Tang Yue covered her stomach, a look of horror ca over her face. "You are not allowed to co near and my baby. Don’t think that I don’t know you are doing this for revenge. Jun Mingzhe, did Jun ilin send you here to kill my child? What are you going to do with Hao? Give back my son."
"I am calling the police." Mrs. Tang threatened.
Mingzhe scoffed. "Woman, we are the police and army wrapped into one. Imperial soldiers protect the royal family and the empire. Do you think that we would be here without the stamp of approval of the emperor? No matter who you call, your daughter is going to be taken away today. You two will not be able to see other again until after she gives birth,"
"That is if she survives the birth." Chen Shanhe chid in. "Nobody truly knows how aliens are born after all. So people say they rip their hosts apart from the inside and climb out. I suggest that you hug your daughter, just in case."
"Take her." Mingzhe barked an order. "What hugging? Who will be responsible if this parasite is transferred through physical contact?"
Two imperial soldiers grabbed bot sides of Tang Yue’s shoulders and pulled her away from the protective side of Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang sat on the floor and she started crying loudly, hoping to draw the attention of her neighbors. "Aiyo, everyone co and see, Jun ilin has sent her brother here to kill my daughter."
Chen Shanhe sprayed the sleeping gas in her face and she passed out. He looked at her husband and the man backed away with his hands raised.
Tang Yue grabbed the left corner of Muyang’s coat. "Mingzhe, you can’t do this to . What will happen if I am locked away for a full year? My career, my life....you are going to ruin it all just because A Yang does not love your sister. How is it my fault? If she wanted his love, she should have tried harder. No...she should have seen it from the beginning that he was not interested in her and kept her hands off him."
"Let go." Mingzhe warned her.
Tang Yue held on to the coat even tighter. "Jun Mingzhe, how can you be so heartless? We grew up together. I am like your very own sister. You know that I am not carrying an alien parasite. How can you be so cruel."
"Sister." Mingzhe sneered. "I have only two sisters. I told you long ago not to call brother. No sister tries to pretend that she is drunk, undresses and climbs into the bed of a fifteen year old boy. I should have told my parents that very day and got rid of a cancer like you back then." He raised his voice at his n. "Take her."
Chen Shanhe sprayed her with the gas and she was carried out.
