Chi Zhong looked at the man kneeling before him and kicked him hard.
"What nonsense are you shouting? Anything else can wait till after the ancestor-worship ritual."
Chi Zhong didn’t care what was happening now; the ritual could not be interrupted.
The man who was kicked away, unwilling to give up, charged back yelling, "Family Head—uuuuu—"
The man screaming for attention was muffled by a guard who dragged him aside.
The dragged man initially struggled violently, but no matter how hard he fought, he couldn’t break free from the guard’s grip and, in an instant, his heart turned cold, and he stopped struggling.
Either way, it was a death; early or late, it was all the sa.
If the Family Head was not worried, why should he be?
The man gave up, with the heartbroken resignation of utter despair.
If those things on the network were true, the Chi Family’s death wouldn’t be unjust; the evidence was so grisly it made his skin crawl. Had he really been helping such a family?
At this mont, Chi Zhong, insistent on completing the ancestor-worship ritual, totally ignored the situation on the Star Network.
After finishing the video recording, Nian Shutong was very interested in checking the Star Network; it seed Fu Yunhe had made his move right on ti.
At this very mont, a massive uproar engulfed the Star Network; everyone, irresistibly, received an airdropped email.
Regardless if you were watching a video, watching a movie, playing a ga, or browsing forum comnts, an email awkwardly landed right at the center of your screen, and no matter how you tried to cancel, it persisted.
So people even rebooted their computers, but when turned back on, it was still there tenaciously.
Such unmatched technical prowess was just for you to read an email, whether you wanted to open it or not.
Everyone had to open this email, and the evidence laid before them was convincing and irrefutable.
Stunned and dumbstruck.
Shocked and incredulous.
That was everyone’s first reaction, then convinced by the evidence that seed impossible to forge, how could this be?
Fury boiling, discontent fuming.
Teeth clenched, smoke billowing from the seven orifices.
That was everyone’s second reaction, how dare the Chi Family?
A comprehensive report showed that Chi Family, using the Interstellar First Detection Research Institute, had for over one hundred years defad one hundred and eighty-nine entities.
Among these one hundred eighty-nine were businesses, individuals, clans, and families.
Every one of them had contributed to interstellar cuisine, yet all of them, without exception, were slandered by the Chi Family; so were imprisoned, and others saw their families and lives destroyed.
Even those families who faced no consequences were subjected to the internet and neighbors’ prejudiced views and verbal abuses, leading a reclusive life far from others.
Yet, this was not even the most shocking revelation.
As people scrolled through the records, a list of missing individuals appeared before their eyes, with many finding familiar nas and photos.
Everyone had a bad feeling, their fingers trembling as they clicked to the next page, a complete loss of humanity, worse than beasts!
The scenes unfolding before everyone’s eyes stung.
Human experintation.
Live... human experintation.
"Ah—my child! Chi Family—"
"No—Chi Family to die!"
"Impossible! Impossible! My mother must still be alive, still alive."
Painful cries and blood-curdling screams resounded in various places, each piercing the heart.
Chi Family, how dare they?
Attached videos, photos, docunts, records of ti and location, all were logged clearly.
Who could forge such a thing?
This wasn’t sothing that could have been faked.
At that mont, all the Water Army hired by the Chi Family stopped working, as the deeds of the Chi Family had incited public fury.
Even among the Water Army, there was soone with ties to the missing person’s list. For a while, he felt as if his hands were bloodstained—the blood of his own kin.
How could this be? How could this be?
As everyone reviewed the information, the Royal Family took action.
Such irrefutable evidence gave the Crown Prince ample reason to move against the Chi Family.
Moreover, the situation at the First Detection Research Institute took the Crown Prince by surprise, as the human experintation particularly enraged him.
This was an interstellar line that the Chi Family should never have crossed.
The Royal Family dispatched an entire Legion, splitting it in two, half went to the First Detection Research Institute, the other half to the Chi Family.
Right when the Chi Family had just started their ancestral worship, the Legion had already surrounded the entire estate.
At the sa ti, the Interstellar First Detection Research Institute was also completely besieged, its people were controlled imdiately, and all inside materials were fully secured.
The Crown Prince’s exact words were, "Dig three feet into the ground if need be but find all the evidence."
Led by Xiong Da, the Legion dug deep into the First Detection Research Institute. No hidden compartnt could remain secure, as all docunts that Nian Shutong had failed to find were unearthed.
At this ti, video footage of both the Chi Family and the First Detection Research Institute surrounded by the Legion was uploaded to the Star Network.
A video nad "This is Ironclad Evidence" quickly soared to the top, rging with the prior sky-dropped email to unleash the power of an atomic bomb.
"How despicable!"
"Is this what they call the first family? I feel like grabbing a knife and going after them."
"My sister was on that list, we thought she just left in a huff and would co back, but who knew..."
"Live humans, how dare they!"
"The culprits must be severely punished; the Chi Family should not be spared."
"Not all mbers of the Chi Family knew about this, let’s not indiscriminately punish everyone."
"Has Holy Mother Church collapsed? How did they let you out?"
"Even if they didn’t know, they are part of the Chi Family, and have partaken in their bloody gains!"
"Exactly, they ate ’human blood buns’! They do not deserve to live!"
"If the Chi Family doesn’t perish, we cannot calm our resentnt."
"I never thought I’d see a vindication in my lifeti, I’m the only one left from one hundred and eighty-nine affected families."
"I’m sorry for your loss."
"From now on, I will never blindly trust them again. I feel like I was also a knife in the hands of the Chi Family."
"We all were."
The denunciations and curses against the Chi Family had fully erupted.
Every website, forum, and even unrelated topics were dominated by irate netizens.
Occasional voices of sympathy, those of the so-called "Holy Mothers," would have their accounts exposed and singled out for everyone to question their identity.
So people, seeking attention and advocating for the Chi Family to show their magnanimity, were imdiately fired upon discovery.
Such eye-catching and attention-seeking behavior was clearly insane.
Various voices, various dia sources reported on the Chi Family and Research Institute’s collusion, further demanding an authoritative response from the Royal Family.
The Royal Family had no option but to issue a proclamation: Investigation in progress.
Nian Shutong watched everything unfold, a sinister smile cracking his face. Wouldn’t it be better with a bit more commotion?
