Mrs. Xu stunned the audience by snorting, not just once but three tis. She let out a symphony of snorts that made the room erupt into laughter while Mr. Xu hid his face behind a pillow.
"You seem to have sothing to say, Mrs. Xu. Do you care to share it with the audience?" Rize asked.
Mrs. Xu stifled her laughter and she said, "The fire happened when qualified students were competing at an Olympiad. Mo Liang that dumb beetle had no business there in the first place. Who knows what he was up to?" She folded her lips in a thin line.
She was not a stupid as she ca off most tis, she knew what to say and what not to say to avoid being sued.
"Err...to avoid legal complications I will not expand on Mrs. Xu’s words or speculate on them." Rize comnted. "Lets get back to Tang Yue, Mrs. Xu, you said that you found a letter from her to Mo Liang in the belongings of your son when you were cleaning them out two days ago."
Mrs. Xu nodded and she presented the letter. Its contents appeared on the screen for everyone to read. As for those that could not read, they could switch on the screens on the backs of the chairs directly in front of them. Those small screens were connected to the large one so they could see up close what was on the big screen.

Forever yours, the future doctor Tang Yue/Mrs. Mo.
The letter disappeared from the screen. So people stretched, others coughed and they waited for Rize or Mrs. Xu to say sothing first.
"Like I said, triangle." Rize sighed. "From our investigations, this letter was written when Tang Yue was fifteen, Mo Liang and Jun ilin were seventeen. Now, while i i and Mo Liang were not dating, he had expressed interest in her. In fact, he had gone on to tell all his friends that there was sothing going on between the two. It was well known that they were spending a lot of ti together."
Turning to Mrs. Xu, Rize asked, "Why did your son have this letter in his possession?"
"They were not his possessions to be specific." Mr. Xu managed to beat his wife to it and he responded quickly. "Before they all went to space, Mo Liang left so personal items at our house, things he probably wanted to hide from his wife. Caleb just added them to the rest of his belongings. We only found that letter recently."
"They were having an affair, Mo Liang and Tang Yue were having an affair long before they went to space." Mrs. Xu interrupted and bellowed out an accusation with so much zeal. She looked at the caras and said fervently, "Mo Liang is like a snake oil salesman, he obviously used Jun ilin to climb the social ladder and saved his true love for Tang Yue. I have seen this in many dramas. Don’t you all watch dramas? I can recomnd a few with such plots for you."
She successfully riled up the audience, not because of the dramas, which was not a lie as everyone in that audience and empire at large had seen at least one such drama. So people had watched ten, twenty, fifty such dramas. They differed in actors, costus, ti period and other details but the story line was often the sa.
What got people riled up was the idea that the wealthy socialite had been taken for a ride. She had been used. Others were shocked that their heroic space pilot was such a scumbag.
Mrs. Xu was not finished, she pointed at the screen and shouted with excitent, "Bring back that letter, show the people that letter."
Rize nodded and the letter was shown again.
"Look at the na of their first son. Tang Yue said the child should be nad Mo Hao. Don’t any of you recognize the na?" she looked at the audience. "The national space baby you all adore so much is nad Mo Hao." Mrs. Xu continuously punched the chair in outrage. "For three weeks now, I have been receiving non stop phone calls and ssages from old friends and relatives comforting for the loss of my son.
It would have been enough if they stopped there but they went beyond and added that even if my son was dead, at least he had left behind a son. What son? What son?" She repeated the question twice for emphasis and leaped up. "That wench, she didn’t want the public to know what evil she had done so she has deliberately been hiding the na of that evil spawn and calling it my son’s child. The boy even knows who his real father is. He calls Mo Liang daddy, he doesn’t even know my son’s na."
Mrs. Xu sat down on the floor and started slapping her thighs while wailing loudly. "What did my son do to deserve such a fate? Not only did his wife cheat on him but she convinced him to go to space were he died and then before his body could turn cold, she got pregnant for another man, his best friend and brother. It is evil...beyond evil."
Mrs. Xu continued to wail while Mr. Xu tried to urge her to control herself and sit in the chair again. As for the outraged audience, they wanted to beat up the cheaters imdiately.
