While Zhuang Li was immersed in the gentle and lingering kiss, Zhu Jianrui held a knife and dismembered a puppy that was less than two months old into pieces. Thick blood splashed all over his body and dyed his gloomy eyes red.
When he finally found the sub-chip from a mass of minced meat, he laughed nervously, and his breathing was like the wind coming from the gap in hell, which was shocking.
The servant who was hiding outside the door and spying turned pale with fright. He quietly found Gong Xuanqi and reported the young master’s strange behavior.
Gong Xuanqi, who was originally considerate and caring towards his nephew, said coldly this time: “Don’t worry about him.”
This was the Gong family’s principle of dealing with things. When it was valuable, they could treat you as a close relative. When it became useless, they didn’t care whether you lived or died.
The servant walked away sternly.
Gong Xuanlin couldn’t let go of his son. He knocked on his door and comforted him: “Your uncle doesn’t blame you. Come out quickly and don’t bore yourself. You are just a child. You don’t have to worry about the election.”
After a long time, Zhu Jianrui walked out of the door and asked in a dry voice: “Uncle, don’t you need my help?” He was soaked all over, his clothes and pants were clinging to his body, and he felt very uncomfortable when he looked at them. The face was still white, but his pupils were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his body was filled with coldness. At first glance, he looked like a sinister evil ghost.
Gong Xuanlin was so frightened that he took a step back and said in surprise: “Why did you take a shower without taking off your clothes? And you even took a cold shower?”
“I felt uncomfortable and wanted to calm myself down.” Zhu Jianrui lowered his head, showing his vulnerable side in front of his biological father for the first time.
Gong Xuanlin only had such a son, so he couldn’t completely ignore him, so he comforted him: “Don’t feel bad. You will study hard in learning computer skills from now on. You don’t have to worry about my uncle’s affairs. You are still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future. Zhuang Li’s over thirty, how long can he live? You don’t have to be afraid of him, your uncle has plenty of ways to deal with him.”
Zhu Jianrui nodded and said quietly: “Dad, I understand. I’m sleepy and want to sleep.”
“Go, take a hot bath before going to sleep.” Gong Xuanlin waved his hand and left. He didn’t even think about entering his son’s room, taking a look, then holding his shoulders and having a long conversation, erasing the anxiety and fear in his heart.
If his concern for his son were to be measured in exact numerical terms, it would probably be as little as a fingernail. Otherwise, he would find that his son’s bathroom had become a pool of blood, with white bones, broken flesh, and red blood everywhere. The scene was like hell.
Gong Xuanlin paid some cheap attention to his son, but turned around to actively help his eldest brother with suggestions. He explored Le Zhengming’s privacy and weaknesses through various channels, and finally received a memory card sent by express delivery from an unknown paparazzi the next morning. A video of more than ten seconds was saved in the card.
The paparazzi squatted on the top of the mountain opposite the hotel where Le Zhengming was staying. Using a high-power camera, they captured him and Zhuang Li kissing on the balcony from a distance of several hundred meters.
The two hugged each other tightly and kissed each other.
Le Zhengming was such a cold-blooded person, but he showed an infatuated expression during the kiss and held Zhuang Li’s cheek with both hands to prevent the other party from moving away first. Zhuang Li was breathless from his kiss. After the kiss, he lay on his shoulder to rest and bit his sexy Adam’s apple.
Le Zhengming slowly stroked Zhuang Li’s curly and fluffy hair, his face full of satisfaction and love.
An orange halo enveloped them, and the atmosphere was as intense as a fire. If there were no personal grudges and just looking at it from ordinary people’s perspective, this picture would be quite beautiful.
The video ended with the two looking at each other affectionately, and Gong Xuanlin became uncontrollably excited.
For conservative Chinese people, the word “homosexual” represented pathology, heterogeneity, and the disgust and rejection of the vast majority of people. Although the younger generation had changed their views, the older generation could not accept this abnormal relationship at all.
In other words, once this video was made public, the presidential candidate Le Zhengming would immediately become infamous. Zhuang Li, who caused his fiasco, would also bear all the responsibilities. He would be retaliated against by the reformists and also cast aside by the general public.
No matter how much power he had on the Internet, in reality, he would live like a street rat.
Gong Xuanlin took the memory card and hurried to the study.
“Scan it several times.” Gong Xuanqi showed no trace of joy on his face but was more cautious. He was frightened by Zhuang Li.
The newly appointed network security officer immediately began to scan the memory card. After a few minutes, he shook his head and said: “No viruses or Trojans were found.”
“Is the video real?”
“I’ll check it out.”
After a few more minutes, the network security officer said with certainty: “It’s true, there are no traces of editing or PS.”
“Brother, when will we send the video out?” Gong Xuanlin asked eagerly.
“Let me think about it.” Gong Xuanqi pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: “Next Monday, Le Zhengming and I will hold a debate on national television, which will also be broadcast live. There is a link where we need to ask each other’s questions related to governance policy, and then give the answer. I can play the video in this session and ask what the relationship between Le Zhengming and Zhuang Li is.”
Gong Xuanqi was a smart man. After his character setting of a humble gentleman was exposed by Zhuang Li, he immediately began to create a tough and upright character setting.
Continuing to pretend to be moderate would only make voters more inclined to Le Zhengming. Everyone was a hypocrite, so let’s act out the truth. If this was the case, then Gong Xuanqi would give them the truth.
The security officer nodded and said: “This is a good time. In front of the national audience, Le Zhengming should not be able to find an excuse to cover up. And Zhuang Li will also be at the live broadcast. I’ll ask the director to give him a close-up to see his reaction.”
“Okay, let’s do it. During this time, you carefully observe Le Zhengming and Zhuang Li to see if there is any ambiguity between them.” Gong Xuanqi looked at Gong Xuanlin and ordered: “Let the paparazzi continue to stare at them. It’s better to get more evidence.”
Before Monday arrived, the paparazzi had been lurking on the mountain opposite the hotel. High-powered cameras were always aimed at the windows of the two of them, but no ambiguous scenes were captured. Thinking back to that night, Le Zhengming’s speech was a great success, and they were so happy that they indulged for a while.
Outside, Zhuang Li and Le Zhengming always kept a safe distance. Only when they looked at each other, they couldn’t help but smile at each other, showing a little bit of intimacy.
The newly appointed security officer edited several videos of Le Zhengming participating in public events, pointed at the two people who were far away from the crowd but looking at each other, and said firmly: “There must be an affair between them, and the look of love cannot be deceived.”
Gong Xuanqi, who was very good at observing words and expressions, finally put aside his last doubt.
The video was real and the personal relationship was real, so it could be used.
He never thought that this might be Le Zhengming’s conspiracy, because no one would be stupid enough to personally deliver such a fatal piece of information to the enemy. Wasn’t that seeking death?
“Keep the video safe and don’t let Zhuang Li find out. His hacking skills are very powerful.” Gong Xuanqi warned with anxiety.
“I understand.” The security officer said cautiously: “I have asked clearly. After the video was taken, the paparazzi took out the memory card and sent it to the second young master by courier. The second young master inserted the memory card into a computer that was not connected to the Internet. After watching the video, I found that the process was safe. Later, the computer I used to detect the video was not connected to the Internet, and a thick steel plate was installed in the study to isolate the signal amplifier from scanning. No matter how powerful Zhuang Li is, he could not possibly hack into our equipment.”
The security measures had been tightened to this extent, so Gong Xuanqi felt a little more at ease.
“Put the memory card in the safe and never take it out until the day of the debate.” He reminded again.
Gong Xuanqi, who never looked down upon anyone, learned a painful lesson – in the era of the Internet of Everything, don’t offend anyone who is a top-notch hacker. They have many ways to kill you without anyone noticing.
The security officer agreed more cautiously.
Monday arrived quickly, and Gong Xuanqi and Le Zhengming stood face to face on the stage, began to ask each other questions, doubted each other, and gave reasonable answers.
Compared with the gentle and handsome Gong Xuanqi, Le Zhengming was colder, harder and more distant. He also had a majestic aura, which was not very obvious before, but had become more and more powerful recently. He completely fit people’s imagination of the four words “leader of a great power”.
As a result, the poll data of both parties began to wax and wane at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was Gong Xuanqi who declined, and it was Le Zhengming who rose.
With five minutes left in the debate, Gong Xuanqi suddenly said: “General Le Zhengming, I would like to ask you to explain what is the relationship between you and your security officer? You are both men. Isn’t this interaction too intimate?”
He turned to look at the big screen behind him.
Le Zhengming also looked at the big screen, his expression darkening slightly.
The audience in the audience immediately realized the amount of information contained in this sentence. What does it mean to interact too closely? What do you mean you are all men? Is Gong Xuanqi hinting that General Le Zhengming and Mr. Zhuang are in a relationship?
This kind of thing was not uncommon abroad. After all, gay marriage had been legalized in many places abroad. But in China, this was very outrageous, and some people would even describe it as immoral.
The originally quiet venue suddenly burst into noise. The dozen or so senior dignitaries sitting in the front row showed expressions of surprise and even disgust. Obviously, old-school people like them would never accept a gay as the president.
Once they became disgusted with Le Zhengming and abandoned him for this reason, then this campaign could end early.
The director immediately cut a close-up shot to Zhuang Li’s face. His narrow eyes widened slightly, as if he was surprised, and then he shrugged to his colleagues sitting on both sides, indicating that he didn’t know anything.
Gong Xuanlin, who was sitting at the round table opposite, saw his innocent expression and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
But he soon stopped laughing.
Gong Xuanqi, who turned to look back at the big screen, also froze in place.
The disgusting kissing video that was supposed to be played at the right time had turned into a huge yellow face, taking up more than 20 square meters of LED screen, with eyes bent into obscene arcs, like black beans. His eyes flickered left and right, as if he was scanning the audience under the stage, and he grinned from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ears, with a sarcastic expression vividly displayed.
Gong Xuanqi, who was confident of winning: “…”
Gong Xuanlin, who was waiting for Zhuang Li to make a fool of himself: “…”
Knowing this would happen 7480: “…”
There were no surprises. Today was another day where the protagonist group was ravaged.
