By the ti we brought in the new batch of survivors, which ca out to about 200 hundred or so, it was already night. It was also at this ti 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 sothing to do with Zuoqiu Xinqing. As expected, I was imdiately bombarded by aunty Xinqing half-screaming at 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 excitent. That video you sent this afternoon exploded on the web like a nuke! Committee mber Lis ship has already sunk, and the other malefactors aboard his ship werent spared either I even heard that the committee mber got invited to have a friendly chat with so investigators. That dishonest rchant, Xue Guode apparently he put on so 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 to peruse. Ke, look, here are so of the comnts 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 comnts flying across the screen. If one did not turn off the comnts, nothing could be seen underneath at all. It just so happened that these comnts were what I was actually here for.
All I can say is that I deeply sympathise, and am greatly angered at the sa ti, by Zuoqiu Shanmings treatnt. Not only did they kill him, they even stuffed him in a food processor how do you expect to eat my minced at 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 at processor? What are you still raising such a stupid son for? To show off at New Years?
Thumbs up for the food processor.
Food processor 2.
10086!
Bring that evildoer to justice! Make sure to go through every scrap of his finances!
A mont of silence for our hero!
The comnts were mostly in support of the poor reporter, and even if there were comnters who were paid off by the committee mber, they were quickly drowned out by a wave of support.
And this wave of support wasnt going away till the man got his just desserts!
Li was one of the candidates for chairman. Im sure even the aliens have their eyes on this case. If mishandled, this might end up being the stick they were looking for to club the Federation.
If I was being honest right now, exposing that scoundrel Li right now probably wasnt a great idea, if the goal was avoid having the Federation look bad. After all, Southern Plains just had an actual zombie apocalypse, thats another stick as well.
Now, there was another scandal involving its most popular chairman candidate turning out to be an accomplice to murder, and arms trafficking
Regardless, this rogue committee mbers misbehavior was now a matter that affected the entire planet, and not just the council!
And while we were being honest, releasing this video was definitely detrintal to aunty Xinqing. On the surface, she was the upstanding whistleblower but those connected to Li Shengjin were all the elite of Gaia. Most would have so dirty dealings with the man, and his exposure would undoubtedly implicate them as well. Pull out the carrot, pull out the soil as well. These shady figures would have to protect Li Shengjin, at the very least, for their own self-preservation. Being the culprit for all this, aunty Xinqing was a pri target.
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 detrintal to the council as well. After all, if soone 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 so 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 to look out for good news in the future. A little puzzled, I closed the video feed and picked up my chopsticks. Yet the mont I did so, a notification from the general rudely interrupted .
I guess dinner will have to wait
The holographic display popped up once more, nearly blinding 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 . Thanks to that, he was even sillier than usual as he fumbled with an apology, nearly causing 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 so comfort, and take out an evildoer in the process, was to be celebrated.
His reason for contacting was simple: thanks to my exemplary performance, the military was making an exemption by granting the rank of Colonel, and a dal of bravery.
The rank was imdiate, but the dal was Well, they couldnt just mail it to now. In other words, I had to wait till later to receive the comndation and attend a ceremony.
