Their son was so outstanding.
Why would the Ministry of Command dismiss Lao Liu from his post?
Didn't they say...
This time, Lao Liu's so-called academic exchange meeting was actually a mission?
And they said the mission was fully completed.
Wasn't all of this Lao Liu's credit?
Not only did the Ministry of Command not reward Lao Liu, but they actually dismissed him?
Even people from the Ministry of Command shouldn't be unreasonable!
Could it be...
That Lao Liu's direct superior wanted to monopolize the credit, so he deliberately dismissed Lao Liu?
Yes! That must be it!
But the people from the Ministry of Command simply ignored her unreasonable behavior.
Coupled with their upright demeanor.
It made ordinary citizens both fear and tremble.
The Ministry of Command only left one sentence—
"Ask your own good son!"
With that, they tossed Ming Chu Yan at the doorstep.
And sped away.
The Ming family villa was located in a wealthy villa district.
It was only this year that the Ming Corporation had a breakthrough development, and Father Ming felt that he had already entered high society, so he naturally had to live in a villa that suited his status.
He acquired this villa at a high auction price.
In the wealthy district, all passersby were either rich or noble.
Coupled with the Ming family's usual ostentatious display.
With such a grand spectacle.
It naturally fell into the eyes of those nearby.
In just half an hour.
Videos of Ming Chu Yan being escorted back by Ministry of Command personnel, leaving in a furious manner, spread throughout the entire upper-class circle.
The news that Ming Chu Yan had committed a crime also spread throughout the upper-class circle.
The Ming Corporation's stock price plummeted.
The Ming family completely became a laughingstock.
Then, they questioned Ming Chu Yan.
Ming Chu Yan said that details of the mission from the Ministry of Command could not be disclosed.
But he saw Ming Zheng's figure in the Deputy Commander's office.
Deputy Commander?
Wasn't that the leader who had just escorted Ming Chu Yan back?
He was already close to sixty years old.
How could Ming Zheng do it?
Just to whisper in the Deputy Commander's ear and make trouble for Lao Liu?
A perfectly good captain of the Security Department's C Team!
The honor that could make their Ming family ancestors proud, the opportunity for the Ming Corporation to rise again.
It was gone just like that?
And they had become a laughingstock?
How could Father and Mother Ming endure this?
They immediately rushed to "Biyun Xianju" to cause trouble.
But because of the previous disturbance.
The property management of "Biyun Xianju" already recognized them and blocked them directly.
Even when they brought up their identity as the chairman of the Ming Corporation, it had no effect.
After a few days.
The security guard, out of impatience, directly stated that Ming Zheng had not returned for several days.
Mother Ming's first thought was—
That little slut really got into the Deputy Commander's good graces? Actually letting the Deputy Commander let her stay at the Ministry of Command for so many days?
Perhaps...
He intended to marry Ming Zheng as his second wife?
If that were the case...
Ming Zheng was their daughter, so they would be the Deputy Commander's in-laws!
Thus, Mother Ming became even more eager.
Finally, today, taking advantage of the fact that the new security guards didn't know them, they successfully entered with Ming Zheng and their household registration book.
Originally, they had rehearsed this countless times in their minds.
Upon seeing Ming Zheng, they tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor, warm her with familial affection, and transform her back into the timid, obedient, and humble Ming Zheng she was when she first came to the Ming family.
This way, they could use Ming Zheng.
To successfully control the Ministry of Command.
However, they had underestimated the resentment they had accumulated towards Ming Zheng during this time.
After all, in their opinion.
The Ming family had become like this all because of Ming Zheng!
The Ming Corporation's stock had plummeted because of Ming Zheng.
Of the Ming family's six sons, except for the fourth son who had not yet returned to the country, all of them had been largely ruined by Ming Zheng.
And when Ming Zheng saw them, she showed no signs of guilt. She remained dismissive and arrogant, showing them no respect.
Father Ming immediately couldn't hold back and exploded.
"Fabrication?"
Ming Zheng chuckled lightly, a hint of mockery appearing in her dark pupils.
She looked at Father and Mother Ming as if they were two imbeciles.
"I'm truly curious, what exactly did that waste, Ming Chu Yan, tell you."
He even used the word "fabrication."
"What do you think the Ministry of Command is? Can a captain of the Security Department be dismissed with just the words 'fabrication'?" Ming Zheng's mockery intensified.
"I'll condescend to enlighten you—"
"Those dismissed by the Ministry of Command either have moral failings or poor character. Which do you think... Ming Chu Yan would be dismissed for?"
Father and Mother Ming's faces immediately sank.
Lao Liu was their most proud child.
A child they had nurtured themselves!
His character, his conduct, they knew best!
If there were any problems, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Ministry of Command in the first place!
Clearly, Ming Zheng had done despicable things behind the scenes, and now she was finding all sorts of excuses to shirk responsibility?
The one with truly deficient morals and poor character was this wild girl who was raised without a father or mother, wasn't it?
Ming Zheng could tell what Father and Mother Ming were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
She felt nothing.
It had always been like this.
No matter what happened in the Ming family.
They would blame her.
She was like a scapegoat.
Wherever there was a pot, she would carry it.
The key point was that Father and Mother Ming considered it natural.
They didn't even consider that many pots were simply beyond her capacity to carry.
Ming Zheng raised her eyelids slightly, and her gaze swept past something, a hint of mocking playfulness flashing in her eyes: "Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, I can find the reason for Ming Chu Yan's dismissal at the Ministry of Command and publish it for everyone to see."
As soon as she finished speaking.
A tall figure rushed out from the shadows with a "whoosh."
It was Ming Chu Yan, his face ashen and his expression sinister and eerie.
He panted heavily, his gaze towards Ming Zheng filled with hatred: "Haven't you tormented me enough?!"
"Didn't Chairman Ming and Madam Ming Chairman want to know the reason for your dismissal and not believe it? Since that's the case, of course, I have to satisfy their curiosity, don't I?"
Ming Zheng looked at Ming Chu Yan before her.
They hadn't seen each other for only a week.
Ming Chu Yan looked much more haggard.
He had completely lost his usual aloof, top-student demeanor.
"What do you think the Ministry of Command is? A place you can go to whenever you want, find whatever you want?" Ming Chu Yan also firmly believed that Ming Zheng was a jinx, a disaster star.
It was precisely because of Ming Zheng's appearance.
That their Ming family had fallen to this state.
Originally, after the cruise mission, he was about to be promoted!
But because of that woman named "Mo Zheng."
Not only did he fail to complete the mission.
He was also reprimanded by the Deputy Commander and dismissed without even a chance to explain!
He was unwilling.
He still wanted to beg the Deputy Commander for mercy.
But at the Deputy Commander's door, he saw Ming Zheng, her hair still wet and water dripping from her face, as she brazenly walked into the Deputy Commander's office...
