Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Adding Fuel to the Fire, One More Update
Nian Shutong, who had been keeping an eye on the dynamics of the Star Network, chose to release the video she had recorded of the Chi Family’s ancestral rites right after an event, adding fuel to the fire for the Chi Family.
Superstitions, when used as corroborative evidence, are most believed.
Because I needed it, I trusted it.
Nian Shutong sent the video to Fu Yunhe. Fu Yunhe dealt with it first, and right after finishing, he quickly contacted Nian Shutong.
“What are you doing?”
“Where are you?”
Fu Yunhe asked anxiously, to which Nian Shutong nonchalantly replied, “Just outside the Chi Family’s home, preparing to meet Xiong Da shortly.”
“Are you going to deliver the evidence?”
“Hehe… Xiao He, you truly understand me well. Yes, I must make the original evidence contribute as it should.”
Fu Yunhe on the other end knew it indeed had to be so and could only warn her further, “Be extra careful.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
The two hung up, each feeling as though a day had passed.
It had not even been a full day and night, but the Chi Family had been toppled from their pedestal and crushed into the mud.
It felt as though a millennium had passed in a single day, too surreal to be true.
From Nian Shutong temporarily working to getting the news about the Chi Family taking action, to the First Detection Research Institute being set on fire to find evidence, not even a full day had passed, yet so much had indeed happened.
By now, it was late at night.
But the heated discussions on the Star Network had just begun. Many people were even woken up in the middle of the night, turning to the Star Network as their sole source of information.
Countless media workers, self-media platforms, and individuals all took action.
Some rushed to the Chi Family, others to the Research Institute. Soldiers stationed every step of the way outside spoke volumes.
Meanwhile, the video forwarded by Fu Yunhe, uploaded by Nian Shutong, quickly gained attention amidst the fervor surrounding the Chi Family.
“Too much injustice will incur self-destruction. Even our ancestors can’t stand it any longer!”
“The actions of the Chi Family have disgusted their own ancestors.”
“They will surely face retribution.”
“I wish they suffer festering feet and sores all over their bodies, and meet a painful end.”
“I hope your wishes come true.”
The Chi Family’s fall truly exemplified the saying: “When the walls fall, everyone pushes.” Not to mention committing such atrocities against humanity.
Nian Shutong’s fire added a mystic hue to the sins of the Chi Family. For a moment, it seemed everyone no longer needed a royal decree to crucify the Chi Family on the pillar of death and shame.
It was now 12:30 AM. The Chi Family’s ancestral rites had already been disrupted, as Xiong Da, leading the Legion, entered the Chi Family grounds.
Upon seeing the Legion arrive, Chi Zhong glanced at the person who had just reported the news, his face ashen as he gave up struggling, knowing the Chi Family’s dominance was over.
Had it not been for irrefutable evidence, or an issue critical to interstellar interests, the Legion would not have appeared.
Xiong Da, clad in boots, marched over, each step stomping on Chi Zhong’s heart.
Today was a setup, a trap set by someone unknown.
Chi Zhong’s first suspect was the Royal Family.
In his view, only the Royal Family could act so covertly and powerfully, unnoticed by the Chi Family.
Xiong Da had already reached Chi Zhong, and said somewhat respectfully, “Chi Family Master, you are suspected in the matter concerning the Interstellar First Detection Research Institute. Please come with us.”
As soon as the words “Interstellar First Detection Research Institute” were spoken, Chi Zhong knew there was no point in resisting any longer.
Could Chi Zhong possibly be unaware of what was inside? He knew, and he knew even better that interstellar had zero tolerance for live experiments.
But he was past the point of no return, and indeed, stopping was far too difficult once he started.
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Chi Zhong, offering no resistance, followed Xiong Da, and some members of the Chi Family were also taken away.
Even though many people remained, they were all confined within the Chi Family estate, their Light Computers controlled, preventing contact with the outside world.
Everything was now waiting on the investigation results from the Royal Family.
The video of Chi Zhong and others being taken away by Xiong Da was uploaded to the Star Network, and the netizens applauded.
[The Royal Family acted so quickly this time!]
[It seems even faster than the news online.]
[I like it, decisive action, not letting the Chi Family get away with their crimes.]
[The Chi Family is finished, I applaud but still want to know if Little River Live is alright?]
[It must be fine, what’s that phrase, ‘When you’re upright, you fear no crooked shadows’?]
[That’s right, Little River Live stands tall, unafraid of any slander.]
[The certifications from the First Detection Research Institute were all fake, what else is there to trust?]
[Do we even need proofs? I really don’t get you all, if there was really something wrong with what Little River Live serves, people would have fallen ill long ago.]
[Indeed, the products from Little River Live’s store actually make me feel very healthy after eating them.]
[You’re not alone, my health isn’t great, but once I bought food from Little River Live, I ended up eating it all.]
[Me too, I can usually taste when there’s something off with other foods, but not once with Little River Live.]
The discussion about how comfortable people felt after eating food from Little River Live blew up, drawing many people together, growing larger and larger.
Fu Yunhe controlled the situation online.
At this moment, holding the upper hand, Little River Live would, from here on, be fearless.
Not only that, the Chi Family’s position as the first family of food on Blue Star would also be challenged.
Standing continuously outside the Chi Family gate, Nian Shutong, upon seeing Xiong Da, they exchanged glances.
Xiong Da was somewhat informed; he had received instructions from the Crown Prince before he arrived, saying that if he encountered Nian Shutong, he should accept what she had brought—it was important.
Xiong Da oversaw that the members of the Chi Family were aboard a Flying Device, then he himself stood at the door, walking towards the side of the Flying Device.
Nian Shutong understood to wait here without a word, merely handing Xiong Da a Space Button.
“I will pass this on to the Crown Prince,” Xiong Da, having secured the button, assured Nian Shutong with solemnity.
Nian Shutong just nodded her head and turned to leave; she still had much to do.
Xiong Da also knew it was a sensitive time and didn’t delay further; he turned and boarded the Flying Device.
The Chi Family premises were left guarded by a Legion unit, while Xiong Da personally led Chi Zhong and some important Chi Family members toward the Royal Police.
With the Flying Device departing, so did Nian Shutong, preparing to return to Blue Star to sell seeds.
She planned to completely release control of the seeds, allowing every interstellar person to grow them, a skill everyone would possess.
Not just any seeds, but all the varieties and seedlings she now held in her hands.
Go big or go home.
Nian Shutong bought a Starship ticket and embarked on her way back to Blue Star.
Meanwhile, Fu Yunhe, who constantly controlled the commentary, kept the lights in his apartment on all night long, evoking admiration among many followers: At this level, and still striving so hard!
Truly leaving no living space for others!
