This alpha is physically and mentally strong [Interstellar]

Chapter 87

  If the second heir's statement only shocked the citizens of the empire, then the police department's subsequent response turned the shock into anger.

On the evening of the day when Lin Sheng was taken away by the police department, the senior officials in charge of the investigation finally accepted the reporter's interview.

Compared with the pre-match interference case, which happened not long ago, although the military rescue mission has passed for many years, it is more disgusting because it has been hidden at the bottom of the quagmire for too long.

Involving the royal family, the military and the nobles, facing the voices and pressure from all walks of life, the Police Department had to hold a simple press conference.

Captain Tong, who is the main force of the investigation, faced the camera with a tense face, holding a stack of manuscripts, and dictating the scene of the tragic mission back then.

"You mean to say that Bai Li and his deputy Jiang Hao, who were still major generals at the time, tried to point out the loopholes in the command," a reporter asked, "but the top commander at the time did not accept the suggestion, and the criminals took advantage of the loopholes in the end. Is this the mission failure that resulted in heavy casualties?"

Captain Tong sullenly said: "The specific details need to be investigated."

Neither affirming nor denying, this vague attitude caused the reporters present to discuss in a low voice.

"Then this should be a command error, and it will be held accountable in the empire," the reporter asked, "Mr. Lin Sheng was the supreme commander at the time, right?" "Yes." "Such a major accident

has

never It has not been mentioned, the parties have not been held accountable, and have not gone through a military court, is it because Mr. Lin Sheng came from the royal family?" Another reporter asked loudly, "This should be the biggest rescue accident in the past 20 years "

" Before the case is clarified, we will not make rash assertions and cause unnecessary speculation from the outside world." Captain Tong replied firmly.

This answer undoubtedly aroused the anger of the reporters: "Mr. Bai Li has been treated unfairly in the recent solicitation competition. Since the pre-match interference is linked to Mr. Lin Sheng, can it be considered that other interferences are also related to him? ? Is he deliberately targeting Mr. Bai Li, can it be seen as an act of retaliation? Is there any old grudge between Lin Sheng and Bai Li?"

Captain Tong on the virtual screen is obviously not good at dealing with this battle. Half of it was picked up by someone else.

Madam Tang looked at the book in her hand pretending not to care, but her attention was all on the interview.

In this Tang family's old house, she was the background board that was most easily overlooked, so Tang Xiao didn't notice her distraction.

Tang Xiao also had no time to take care of these.

Two or three hours have passed since the interview video being played, but the anger of people on Xingwang.com has not been subsided by nightfall.

From Lin Sheng's detention to the second heir's statement, to the police department's response, a series of non-stop news is like a barrel of gasoline, pouring on the ignited rationality of the citizens of the empire.

As the popularity continued to rise, the follow-up problems left over from the failed rescue mission were also sorted out and exposed. Broken families, parents who have lost their children, partners who can't get out of the haze, children who have lost their companions while growing up, the pride and struggle of being a military family... Human life is not just a few numbers, but a period that cannot be replaced whole life.

Those who survived the mission were also among the follow-up questions being discussed.

People were surprised to find that some of the insiders were either transferred to remote affiliated stars, or received some incomprehensible promotions. Most of those who got promoted did not stay on the main star in the end, and were transferred to affiliated stars one after another to develop.

Jiang Hao, the only one who stayed on the main star, has a strong family background, but it seems that he has no chance to go to the front line these years, and he is forced to deal with paper documents most of the time.

But Bai Li, who had already taken the position of major general back then, fell to the bottom overnight, his left leg was severely damaged, and he was forced to withdraw from the military.

Unlike others, Bai Li once became the center of the topic after quitting the military. It's just that his short years of experience in the military were deliberately covered up, emphasizing his status as a nobleman, his actions were magnified, his words were deliberately distorted, and the facts were covered up under the guidance of public opinion, even before he retired. The First World War was buried deep.

What is unacceptable is not just the dust on the medal, but that everyone present was once a handful of ashes on him.

This cognition makes people feel a little more guilty and guilty in their anger, but it is always difficult to blame themselves, so the media that have reported falsely over the years and Lin Sheng who tried to cover up the facts have become the biggest punching bag.

"To be honest, if Mr. Bai is still alive, Bai Li probably wouldn't be like this. Isn't he just bullying Mrs. Bai's downfall?

" If you do anything that is sorry to the empire or to the citizens, but you are treated like this, the media that consumes him is really irrelevant to Lin Sheng himself. Animals cannot be born into humans, but humans can become animals." For a while, Lin Sheng's scolding

and The calls for an answer from the royal family were like big waves, and each wave was loud and powerful.

When the citizens of the empire turned their guilt and self-blame into heavy blows, someone broke the news that a considerable part of the public opinion attacks on Bai Li in recent years were deliberately smeared, and bluntly said that Bai Li was stabbed in the back, and the person who splashed dirty water had a delicate relationship with him.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted attention.

People's anger and guilt have new outlets, and the paparazzi and those who want to gain popularity take the opportunity to dig deeper, and the cannon called "citizen anger" is directed at Tang.

The old grievances of the Tang family and the Bai family had been an open secret as early as when Mr. Bai was still alive. Bai Li and Tang Xiao had long since had trouble with each other. What kind of dealings have been made, plus the recent rumors and the video of the two tit-for-tat competitions, it can be seen that the two brothers are not friendly.

But after all, they are close blood relatives. If Tang really took advantage of Bai Li's weak period of retiring from the military to recuperate his wounds, it would be a genuine backstab.

Just one thorn made Bai Li planted for so many years.

At the same time, the video of the chaos on the main stage of the solicitation competition was released. Although the live broadcast was cut off in time, the audience at the scene could clearly see that Tang Kaiyuan attacked his opponent, and the pheromone went berserk for a while.

In connection with the previous incident about the backstage scandal in Division 1, people's dislike and suspicion of Tang Corps reached a peak.

Presumably Tang Xiao must have a splitting headache right now.

Mrs. Tang turned a page of the book in her hand, then she looked up at Tang Xiao who was using her personal terminal to make contact.

Anger and anxiety made Tang Xiao's face turn red, and his neck, which was raised like a fighting cock, seemed to be thicker. The collar of his shirt, which was always tightly buttoned according to the old-fashioned aristocratic habits, was now pulled loose, and the top button was unbuttoned. Tang Xiao gasped for breath.

Mrs. Tang could no longer remember what Tang Xiao looked like when she was young, but she recently discovered that even the current Tang Xiao, most of what remained in her memory was a dark shadow.

The shadow includes violence, selfishness, conceit, and extreme inferiority complex.

Contacted all the connections that could come in handy, but the result was not ideal. Tang Xiao came over dizzy, leaned on the back of the chair and shouted angrily: "Don't stand there! Aren't you related to Xiao, go Ask them if they can find a way to contact the people in the police department, I have to talk to Lin Sheng!"

Xiao Shi is a small nobleman, an old friend of Mrs. Tang when she was still living in the Bai family, and she was under Tang Xiao's control after marriage. He basically has no contact with the outside world, and was forced to cut off contact with these little nobles who Tang Xiao looked down upon.

Usually, he takes these little nobles seriously, but when employing people, he is confident. Mrs. Tang sneered in her heart, but her words were still gentle: "Okay, I will think of a way."

Tang Xiao's face did not ease because of this, he continued to scold the media, Bai's family, and others, and he would handle anything that didn't go his way. scold.

"Why don't you take a rest first, you haven't had a good rest since last night," Mrs. Tang advised him, and brought the medicine box in front of him, "Take some more medicine, it will take a while before Kaiyuan comes back." "He really

... ...not very capable, but it will cause me trouble." Tang Xiao muttered, grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the half-drunk wine and put it in his stomach.

Mrs. Tang helped him to bed, and the pheromone with her own mark O was somewhat soothing to A. Tang Xiao fell asleep in Mrs. Tang's pheromone not long after.

As usual, the personal terminal was thrown by the pillow. Mrs. Tang patted Tang Xiao, only to hear the sound of snoring. She bravely pushed it hard, and Tang Xiao dragged his bulky body and turned over.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took Tang Xiao's personal terminal, exited from the bedroom, hid in the study on the other side, and entered the password to open Tang Xiao's personal terminal.

This is the third time she has checked Tang Xiao's personal terminal this week. Tang Xiao has some brains and knows how to clean up part of the data. It is not easy for her to check.

The memory of her youth gradually became clear through the repeated references. She liked to tinker with these things a long time ago. She recovered part of the data with the help of her memory, and then transferred it to her personal terminal.

While waiting for the data to be transmitted, Mrs. Tang took deep breaths to calm her heartbeat. She touched Tang Xiao's medicine box.

"It's almost finished," she thought, "how many days have you been taking the medicine?" On the

third day of the competition, two of the four models will be eliminated.

The more the game goes to the end, the more powerful the mechs and the superb skills of the pilots will be. This year's solicitation competition gathers strong players, and even some of the mechas and pilots who lost the game are still being criticized on the mecha forum. commend.

But the most striking thing besides the final is probably the game this afternoon.

Bai's Research Institute and Shengshi Research Institute finally faced each other in a long game.

In addition to the game itself, after a night and a morning, the public opinion has already fermented to the point of being out of control, and it has also pushed the game to the forefront.

The citizens of the empire still had a good night's sleep, but those interested in digging up information and breaking the news couldn't sleep at all.

After waking up overnight, a real hammer had already been dropped on Tang's head.

Tang Xiao's transfer records and some of the text messages were exposed anonymously. Although they were just clues, after digging deeply, he quickly grasped the key points, confirming that Tang Corporation had business dealings with some tabloid paparazzi. Most of these paparazzi have been found to have used the following methods to guide public opinion and made false reports many times during the industry rectification some time ago.

With the outside world full of indignation and heated discussions, the match between Bai Li and Tang Kaiyuan is about to begin.

Bai Li also considered this in advance, and did not drive to the main arena alone with Lu Zhao. The military circle had already proposed to keep a certain distance from the public's view, and Lu Zhao's status was not suitable for such an occasion.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Li got off the car of Bai's Research Institute, he was taken aback by the number of reporters and onlookers in front of him.

"I'm going, there are so many people?" Situ followed and got out of the car, looked up and took two steps back to get back into the car.

He bumped into Yang Han who was behind him, but instead of shrinking, he was pushed out of the car.

Together with the researcher who was holding the equipment behind him, he rolled down with the garlic under his feet.

Pushed by his good brothers, Bai Li reeled and walked two steps forward to the center of the crowd before he could put on his helmet.

"Ah, what, let's wait until the game is over for the interview." Young Master Bai raised the helmet in his hand calmly, "We'll talk about it after we win." The

assistant who was squeezed into the back row came over now and sorted it out The train of thought was about to deal with the reporter, but unexpectedly found that the atmosphere was different from what it had imagined.

The reporters didn't come forward this time, nor did they swarm up excitedly like a few days ago to ask about their impressions of the game. They each kept a polite distance apart, leaving a passage for the Bai's Research Institute to go to the main arena.

Today, the number of reporters is much larger than before, but the atmosphere is exceptionally silent.

Bai Li was not used to it either, so after careful identification, apart from a few familiar faces since the competition started, there were also a few familiar ones.

The reporters who stayed on the side of the main arena basically worked for mecha-related publications, but now Baili saw a few reporters from other platforms who had dealt with before.

"Hold the helmet firmly. The material is not strong and it is easy to break." Situ instructed, and then said in a low voice, "Lin Sheng made a big fuss, and it is probably because of this." The two of them

thought It is also clear that not only the case of the year, but also the Tang Corporation's scandal.

Bai Li was a little dazed, the fate of life is really unpredictable, he once decided to live his life with colored eyes, never thought that there would be a day when salty fish would turn around.

The reporters did not ask questions eagerly, but nodded silently when they looked at Bai Li. Some onlookers were whispering, and someone called Bai Li's name a few times, but they didn't ask any further.

People from Bai's Research Institute passed through the crowd under flashing lights.

Someone nearby shouted: "Major General Bai."

The voice seemed familiar, and Bai Li glanced sideways.

"I haven't seen you for a few years," the person wearing the clothes with the name of the newspaper printed on them smiled and held out his hand to Bai Li, "I interviewed you before, do you still have any impression?" "It's you,"

Bai Li shook his hand with a smile He shook hands, "You were the only reporter who asked me in advance if I could do an interview, but I had something to do at the time, so I didn't accept it." "

My surname is Li," reporter Li said, "I work for Imperial Citizen Network."

Imperial Citizens Network, earlier also known as Imperial Citizens Society.

After the tragedy of the rescue mission that year, it was rare for a news platform to stand up and report positively. The relevant reports were also followed up by this Li reporter.

Bai Li was very impressed: "Why didn't you contact me later? I should have accepted it at the time." "After

that I..." Reporter Li paused and said slowly, "Because of some work matters, I was transferred to a subsidiary star. , only recently returned to the main star."

He didn't say it clearly, but Bai Li understood.

After the rescue mission happened that year, almost no one in the empire knew about it. Such a major accident fell into the water like a pebble, causing inconspicuous ripples and was quickly quelled.

This ripple is probably the reason why reporter Li was transferred.

The old people who knew a little bit about the inside story were transferred or retired, not to mention the young reporters who planned to follow up and report.

The world is like a spider web entangled by dense threads. On the surface of the plucked threads, it seems that there are only a few people in Baili, but there are not a few people affected by the shock.

"Hasn't it been a bad few years?" Bai Li didn't ask much, just smiled.

"No, I have learned a lot in the past few years." Reporter Li looked at him, pursed his lips, and his expression showed a little recognition and respect, "It is difficult to maintain the original intention after learning, but we still have to persevere." His voice was

not Large, but exceptionally clear because the surroundings are too quiet.

This is probably the most bookish literati speech Bai Li has heard this month. He couldn't help laughing out loud, and patted Reporter Li on the shoulder: "Come to interview me again after the competition is over?" Reporter Li smiled and nodded

: "I wish you all the best."

"I wish you success." A reporter beside him echoed.

"The game went well, Major General Bai!" shouted the onlookers holding up their personal terminals.

No one mentioned the matter that had tormented Bai Li for many years, and no one asked too much about things that were not related to the competition. The researchers of Bai's Research Institute followed closely behind Bai Li, and Situ patted Bai Li on the back: "Let's go, the time is almost up."

Amid the blessings of "Come on" and "Victory", Bai Li walked towards The back door of the main arena.

Jiang Hao and Lu Zhao had been waiting for a while, and seeing Bai Li approaching, Jiang Hao yelled, "Come on!"

Before Bai Li had time to say hello, he saw several people standing behind him stand up straight, facing each other. Bai Li saluted: "Major General!"

He was familiar with these faces.

In the rescue mission that year, all but two of the comrades in arms who acted together with Bai Li Jiang Hao were buried in the vast universe, and the few in front of them were either responsible for driving the warship or were members of the medical team back then.

They didn't meet each other afterwards, and they were transferred to different affiliated stars in a very short period of time, or retired early on the grounds that they were approaching age.

Bai Li hadn't seen these former comrades-in-arms again for many years, he was stunned for a few seconds before he recovered, and said with a smile: "I have to change my words, I have already retired from the army." "No," said the youngest one

, "It's always been Major General Bai."

For a short moment, Bai Li tightly squeezed the helmet in his hand.

People can hold back the sudden malice, but they are often helpless in the face of a moment of sadness.

"Come and see the game," the retired medical captain smiled, "Adjutant Jiang said you are sure to win, and have a big meal tonight."

"Have a big meal!"

"Good food!" Situ stretched his head and said, "One meal No way!"

Everyone laughed, Bai Li's palm hurt a little from being slapped by his old comrades in arms, and Jiang Hao bumped his shoulder against him.

"Beat that kid from the Tang family," Jiang Hao said, "let him know that the First Legion is not that easy to advance!" Bai Li said, "I'm good at

this, and beating people has always been my strong point."

A few old friends who came from affiliated stars all got the places to watch the game from their respective resident corps, and Jiang Hao found someone to get the qualifications for the veterans, and after saying hello, they all walked towards the ticket gate.

Lu Zhao has been standing in the back position, leaning on the suspension car, watching Bai Li and those people he is not familiar with high-five.

Reporters took pictures from afar without disturbing.

From the moment they realized it, Bai Li was finally just Bai Li, not the one who married Lu Zhao.

After everyone had said hello, Bai Li walked towards him, and his arms were raised before reaching him. Lu Zhao understood and accepted the hug.

"The time is too short, there is no time to introduce," Bai Li said, "You can get to know them after the competition."

Lu Zhao said "Yes".

The two were so tight that he could feel Bai Li's heartbeat. Quick, but powerful.

"You are very happy." Lu Zhao whispered, "They came to see you."

Bai Li rubbed his face against his shoulder, wiped away the moisture from his eyes, and whispered in Lu Zhao's ear: " It's like a fucking dream."

Bai Li's life is divided into two stages, and there are too few people who can participate in both stages.

Although Lu Zhao is unique, the time when he and Bai Li established a relationship is very late.

In those most glorious years of Baili, he regretted that he never participated.

And these old comrades-in-arms who were scattered to various affiliated stars, in their impression of Bai Li, is probably still the domineering Major General Bai.

"Okay, I'll go in," Bai Li let go of his hand, "Hua Hua, don't show your face too much in front of the reporters, and go to the auditorium with Jiang Hao later." Lu Zhao nodded, but did not let go of Bai

Li hands.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Li asked.

Over there, Situ had already yelled from a distance, indicating that it was getting late for Baili.

Lu Zhao's lips moved, and he didn't know what to say.

He realized a problem for the first time today. Compared with Jiang Hao Situ and even those former comrades-in-arms of Baili, he participated in Baili's life for a very short time.

"Lu Zhao?" Bai Li called out again.

"It's okay." Lu Zhao replied.

Then kissed Bai Li's cheek.

The reporters not far away have not dispersed yet, the crowds are holding their own personal terminals, and the shooting robots are running non-stop.

Bai Li stood where he was, the warm and soft touch on his cheeks made him feel as if he was soaked in warm water from head to toe, and muttered something in his mouth.

Lu Zhao didn't hear clearly.

"Come to the right side too!" Young Master Bai said loudly.

Don't need to think too much about Bai Li, there will definitely be a lot of noise on the Star Network tomorrow.

It is estimated that in the eyes of many straight A's, Lu Zhao's slightly forceful and ostentatious kiss is the evidence that Bai Li is soft.

But Young Master Bai himself didn't care. His face was full of spring breeze, and the wind was blowing under his feet. He walked vigorously and said to Situ, "Hey, did you see it just now?" Teacher

Si said with a wooden face, "No."

"Impossible," Bai Li said, "You should be able to see clearly from that angle, my left and right cheeks are—" Situ pushed

him, "You fucking!"

In the end, I couldn't breathe from laughing.

There was a sound of metal crashing on the main stage.

The researchers have fully turned on their equipment, giving each other high fives to encourage each other.

At the end of today, they will qualify for the final.

"Big meal," Situ clapped his hands with Bai Li, "one meal is not enough."

Bai Li put on his helmet and said, "Don't bully me." "

One meal is really not enough, there are so many old acquaintances waiting in the audience," Situ said with a smile Yao smiled and said, "Don't let them down."

The main arena is still full of stars today, and the auditorium is full, but there seems to be some subtle differences in the enthusiasm.

The virtual projections of white01 and LIN23 appeared on the main stage in turn. After another metal impact, the voice of the commentator sounded: "The second round of the four-in-two competition is about to start! Go to the stage of tomorrow's final! First of all, let us welcome the dark horse that has entered the heavy armor in this competition—Bai Li!" After punching with

Situ for the last time, Bai Li straightened his helmet and walked towards the main stage stepping on the starlight .

The helmet weakened some of the cheers from the outside world, but Bai Li could still hear countless people shouting his name.

More excited than before, they were waiting for Bai Li to step onto the stage and sit in the simulation cabin.

Bai Li knew that they were looking at Major General Bai.

Major General Bai, who had been walking alone in the darkness for many years, returned to the starlight of the empire.

"——and the driver of the LIN23 model, which is famous for its fierceness this year, Tang Kaiyuan!"

The news after a night and a morning of fermenting had an effect. When Tang Kaiyuan stepped onto the main stage, loud cheers could be heard The movement of booing.

He was not wearing a helmet, and Bai Li found that this man was full of energy, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be some dark circles under his eyes due to poor rest.

It was obvious that the body did not get enough rest, but the overall complexion was the opposite. Tang Kaiyuan looked a little contradictory.

"Bai Li." Tang Kaiyuan's lips moved.

Bai Li didn't go directly to the simulation cabin, he stood still, lifted the transparent mask part of the helmet, and looked at Tang Kaiyuan's face indifferently.

Tang Kaiyuan transferred the helmet to his left hand: "I said, see you on the field."

His right hand stretched out, wanting to shake hands before the game.

Bai Li didn't move, he supported the mask of his helmet and said calmly: "One more time with the machine, you will be completely useless."

In the noisy environment of the main arena, the sound receiver robot failed to accurately hear Bai Li's deliberately lowered voice.

But Tang Kaiyuan, who was face to face, understood the meaning of Bai Li's lips.

Just when these short words fell, Tang Kaiyuan was captured by a sense of panic.

Bai Li knew.

Bai Li knew it from beginning to end.

The most secretive secrets have been peeped for a long time, and the peepers are watching coldly, perhaps still gloating.

Tang Kaiyuan suddenly felt intense resentment amidst the extreme fear.

In the past few days, he has experienced a huge sense of gap, from the aristocratic young master Tang to the despicable person in the media, his father's crazy reprimand and accusation last night seem to still echo in his mind, and the harsh remarks and ridicule from the outside world are almost drive him crazy.

After a sleepless night, Tang Kaiyuan browsed the star network for several hours, from social platforms to forum news platforms, until the real hammer this morning, Tang Corporation became a stinking joke.

He had to turn off his personal terminal so that he didn't have to read all kinds of text messages sent by his former "friends".

Tang Kaiyuan didn't understand how things developed like this.

He always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

"What do you know?" The hatred in Tang Kaiyuan's eyes almost turned into substance, piercing Bai Li's chest, "You should have been cruel..." He didn't finish, only his

lips moved slightly, and only Bai Li lines that can be seen.

"I probably guessed what you're talking about recently." Bai Li put on the transparent mask and smiled, "Is that dream, I've had it before." It was as if a nerve had been broken

.

Tang Kaiyuan stared blankly at Bai Li, what do you mean?

"I've had nightmares since I was a child, but if it were you, it would be a sweet dream." Bai Li gave him a thumbs up, "It's time to wake up from our dreams, little bastard." The sound of metal impact sounded for the last time

, The drivers of both sides sit in the simulation cabin.

The competition between the brothers with different surnames is about to begin.
