What does it mean to say “Ouyang Mingtang is yours”? That’s a very ambiguous statement!
Yun Ming glanced at the old marshal and corrected him, “Mr. Zhuang, you can deal with Ouyang Mingtang however you want; the military will not intervene.”
Zhuang Li waved his hand and said, “No, I need you to help me investigate the case of when I was bitten by a dog. I suspect that all of this was a conspiracy orchestrated by Ouyang Mingtang.”
Yun Ming had been suffering from endocrine disorders and had been recuperating on a vacation planet, so he had not learned about the case in detail.
Upon hearing Zhuang Li’s words, his expression immediately became serious.
“I’ll send people to investigate immediately. If there’s evidence that he deliberately set a trap to harm you, I’ll make him pay a heavy price!” Yun Ming’s tone was very calm, but in fact, he was suppressing a fierce rage inside.
“Thank you, but I prefer to do it myself.” Zhuang Li pointed to the door and said, “I’ll be very busy tonight, everyone can leave now. By the way, your military should be holding Zerg spies disguised as humans, right? Please put this virus into their food, and then deliberately let them go at an opportune moment. I want to see how well the virus spreads.”
Zhuang Li took out an ordinary capsule.
Yun Ming quickly reached out and held the capsule in his hands, promising, “We will handle this as soon as possible.”
“Goodbye then, everyone. Please excuse me for not seeing you off.” Zhuang Li took off his white coat, stood under the disinfection sprayer for a while, and then walked towards his private elevator.
His attitude toward this group of veteran figures was quite ordinary, even nonchalant.
His arrogance and pride were exactly as rumored, and his inherent madness far exceeded what the news media reported.
Before this, the bigwigs all had a negative impression of Zhuang Li; after this, however, they loved his arrogance. Without such a temperament, he wouldn’t have been able to devise a plan to exterminate the Zerg.
It was no exaggeration to say that Zhuang Li’s mind was the empire’s most valuable asset, and he deserved the best of everything in the world.
Which genius doesn’t have a temper? What’s wrong with pursuing someone you like relentlessly? Doesn’t he deserve it? Ouyang Mingtang looked down on him and even plotted against him; that’s because Ouyang Mingtang was blind to his worth.
“Mr. Zhuang, please rest well. We’ll be leaving now.” The old marshal followed closely behind Zhuang Li and personally escorted him into the elevator.
Yu Guangzhong followed behind, and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Mr. Zhuang, may I take a look at your syringe?”
“You can take it if you like. The fungus in the syringe poses no threat to humans,” Zhuang Li waved his hand dismissively.
“Thank you, thank you!” Yu Guangzhong said repeatedly, overjoyed.
Standing behind the two, Yun Ming hesitated, but remained silent. He didn’t dare ask for their contact information in front of these big shots.
Zhuang Li had long seen through his thoughts, but he didn’t take the initiative to close the distance between them. This time, he wanted to fully enjoy the pleasure of being pursued. He wanted to see what his blockhead lover would do if he didn’t make a move.
….
After everyone left, Zhuang Li turned on his smart device and projected a light screen, discovering that his social media accounts had indeed been unbanned. The person in charge of the social media platform even personally sent him an email apologizing, using words of utmost humility and fear.
This was the benefit that power and status brought.
Zhuang Li simply smiled at this, logged into his account, and was about to send the video he had filmed that evening when he found a private message from a popular blogger named Zeng Qianxi, who encouraged him: “Please don’t pay attention to what others say. I think you did nothing wrong; you just met a terrible person.”
Zhuang Li was extremely surprised, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then became interested in this Zeng Qianxi.
He entered the other party’s account and was even more surprised to find that Zeng Qianxi was actually the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion
However, in the martial empire, his appearance was somewhat effeminate, and his fighting style tended to be conservative, so he wasn’t as popular as Ouyang Mingtang. Even so, he still had a large following and was one of the empire’s most prominent figures.
After entering Zeng Qianxi’s homepage, Zhuang Li discovered that he had also posted a video in support of him.
In the video, he looked directly at the camera and said seriously, “I just came back from the battlefield, so I don’t know what happened between Mr. Zhuang and Commander Ouyang. But I believe that Mr. Zhuang is the one who suffered the most in this whole incident, without a doubt.”
“I’ve discovered that the vast majority of people harbor this absurd belief— that being born an omega is a sin. Omegas represent desire, jealousy, greed, and weakness; it’s the root of all evil. Omegas are hateful because they drive those around them mad. So I want to ask every alpha: if the omegas hadn’t given birth to you, where would you be now?”
“Mr. Zhuang is suffering from physical pain. Please stop now and don’t hurt his feelings anymore.” Then in the video, Zeng Qianxi took off his military cap and bowed deeply.
His flawless, exquisite face was frozen on the screen, and his sincere eyes left a deep impression on Zhuang Li.
He was the only person to date to stand up and support Zhuang Li.
“I like this guy,” Zhuang Li said, pointing to the screen.
7480: “Do you really like him?”
“How could it be fake?” Zhuang Li raised an eyebrow.
7480 whispered a reminder: “Everyone you liked before has died.”
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, “Zeng Qianxi wouldn’t. I really like him, and if I have the chance, I’d like to be friends with him.”
7480 was somewhat envious of Zeng Qianxi. People who were liked by its host either go to hell or to heaven. For the former, refer to Teng Xuan and others; for the latter, refer to the God who lived off his lover.
Zhuang Li replied to Zeng Qianxi’s private message, sincerely thanking him, and then posted Ouyang Mingtang’s video to his social media account with a sensational title: “Shocking! This kind of thing actually happened between a human and a dog!”
Netizens immediately clicked on the video to watch, and were shocked. They originally thought Zhuang Li and the black dog were the main characters in the video, but unexpectedly, they saw Ouyang Mingtang’s face after watching it.
He bit the black dog by the scruff of its neck, doing crazy things. Even more unbelievable, a group of his friends were also present, vying to ravage the dog.
The scene was extremely crazy, incredibly explosive, and utterly disgusting!
Netizens’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and they screamed in terror, while their fingers automatically saved, forwarded, and liked the post.
Holy crap! Ouyang Mingtang, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a pervert who likes to have sex with dogs! No wonder he could resist the temptation of a top-tier omega!
This industry is truly chaotic! The higher the status, the dirtier the dealings. In that light, Zhuang Li’s liking for alphas is actually quite normal and clean!
The video went viral online, and in just a few minutes, Ouyang Mingtang’s reputation was completely ruined. Those who had criticized Zhuang Li quickly disappeared, replaced by voices of sympathy for him.
The mere thought that the alpha he loved repeatedly rejected him not for any normal reason, but because of his perverted sexual fetishes almost made netizens vomit.
Several of Ouyang Mingtang’s friends were also implicated and ended up in disgrace.
All of this was part of Zhuang Li’s plan.
In ancient Earth mythology, the great hero Hercules used this violent method to help King Augeas clean his filthy cowshed. The mountains of cow dung couldn’t be swept away with a shovel; the only solution was to unleash a flood that destroyed everything.
This explosive video was like a sudden flood to Ouyang Mingtang, instantly destroying everything he had painstakingly built up over the years.
However, for Zhuang Li, the flood washed away all the filth from his body.
This was also why he had never argued or debated with anyone online since the incident occurred.
Why use your mouth when you can solve a problem with your brain?
Ouyang Mingtang stared at the video with bloodshot eyes, his tone furious: “What are you doing? Didn’t you say you were going to bring Zhuang Li back? Where is he? Why are his social media accounts unlocked again?”
The adjutant said bitterly on the other end of the phone, “Deputy Commander, I have already asked the Commander for a long leave. Please delegate this matter to someone else.”
“Why did you ask for leave out of the blue? Where is Zhuang Li? Have you found any evidence?” Ouyang Mingtang asked anxiously, only to find that the call had been disconnected. When he tried to call back, the system indicated that the other party’s AI had been shut down.
“Damn it!” Ouyang Mingtang smashed the desk lamp next to him, then contacted the head of the Internet Management Bureau, ordering him to immediately ban Zhuang Li’s account and delete the videos from the entire network.
“Sorry, we don’t have the authority to ban Mr. Zhuang’s account,” the person in charge said patiently.
“I’m giving you the authority!” Ouyang Mingtang said through gritted teeth.
After a moment of silence, the person in charge politely replied, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ouyang doesn’t have that authority either.”
“I am the deputy commander of the Fifth Army Corps, why don’t I have the authority?” Ouyang Mingtang reminded the other party word by word.
“No, you’re not anymore.” The person in charge seemed to have lost patience and hung up the phone.
Ouyang Mingtang’s heart pounded. After exiting the call system, he opened the social network and discovered that the military had issued a notice to the entire empire. The notice was handwritten and drafted by Yun Ming. The signature section below displayed the handwritten signatures of ten military elders and was stamped with the official seals of the military and the Supreme Court.
Its authority and legal validity were beyond question.
Unless there were extremely special circumstances, military announcements were usually in electronic format; handwritten copies had never appeared.
The handwritten announcement, which collected the signatures of ten elders, was something that had never been heard of or seen before.
It was the most prestigious proclamation ever issued by the Empire, and its full text was as follows: [Effective immediately, our company has removed Ouyang Mingtang from all his posts and strip him of his military status. He is no longer a soldier of the Empire, and all his honors will be returned to the nation, the army, and the people.]
The two simple sentences did not explain the background, but only gave the final result.
Based on that obscene video, it was not hard for the public to guess why the military made this decision.
Ouyang Mingtang, who was just one step away from the pinnacle of power, suddenly fell from grace. From this moment on, he was nothing. He came from humble beginnings and had achieved his current position entirely through his own hard work, yet in just one night, he lost everything.
He slumped onto the sofa, his dizzy head shaking uncontrollably, creating a very real feeling of falling.
This turn of events happened so quickly! He had no idea how it had occurred. He desperately tried to call his subordinates and friends, but they all refused to communicate with him.
Without power and status, who would still recognize Ouyang Mingtang?
He wanted to call Chen Jingliu, but hesitated to answer the call despite looking at the number on the screen.
He was now completely disgraced and had even lost the courage to pursue love.
….
Meanwhile, Zhuang Li was on the phone with his private lawyer: “Prepare the materials, I’m going to sue Ouyang Mingtang. I got that dog an A-grade ID card, no one can harm it without cause and get away with it.”
The lawyer hesitated for a long time before quickly saying, “Okay, I’ll prepare the lawsuit materials right away.”
According to the Imperial Pet Protection Law, pets with an A-level identity tag were considered to be legal citizens, because their owners paid high taxes for them every year to purchase their privileges to enter high-end venues such as restaurants, hotels, airships, and banquet halls.
Pets with an A-level identification tag could even inherit their owner’s property.
When such animals were harmed, their owners had the right to sue the perpetrator. If convicted, the perpetrator could face six to eight months in prison and a large sum of money in damages.
The lawyer, who finally understood the purpose of those adoption documents, exclaimed sincerely, “Mr. Zhuang, you are very capable. It is my honor to serve you.”
This statement could also be interpreted in reverse— to be an enemy of Zhuang Li was a misfortune.
Who would have thought that he had already devised a counterattack strategy before the first trial was even over, and that it would be so fast, ruthless, and accurate, almost striking Ouyang Mingtang’s vitals with a single blow.
