Chapter 281: Big Brother, I Think You Like Her
1. Our department has received several complaint letters from concerned citizens.
2. Our department investigated the contents of these letters, confirmed the allegations were true, and subsequently arrested the suspects.
3. Effective immediately, our department will hand over all suspects to the Supreme Procuratorate of the Federation to stand trial. All verdicts will be made public and delivered impartially.
Following the press conference, they released multiple pieces of evidence.
This included, but was not limited to: screenshots of the suspects’ chats in their discussion group, illegal audio recordings, authenticated testimonies from victims whose identities were redacted, records of Jiang Tianming hiring Mercenaries, and finally—the complaint letter that Jiang Qiuqiu had submitted countless times, yet never received a response to.
Under the watchful lenses of high-definition camera bots, Qiudao stood as the very image of justice. Changbei sat to his side, silent, his expression just as solemn—a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.
"We will continue to monitor this case. In conjunction with the United Learning Center, the Mercenary Management Office, and the Supreme Court, we will ensure this matter is handled with impartiality."
"The Federation Military Department will always serve the people of the Federation. Starting today, we will be opening a special complaint mailbox for the Military Department. The banner of justice will never fall."
The hall erupted in thunderous applause.
The Military Department moved with swift and decisive force. Immediately after the press conference, they hauled the group off to the Supreme Procuratorate and announced that the entire trial would be publicly monitored.
The final outcome of the matter was essentially a foregone conclusion. These young masters, who so despised those from Low-level Stars, would spend the next twenty, perhaps even fifty or sixty years, toiling away in the sunless mines of a Low-level Star.
None of this mattered to Mo Si anymore.
The most important thing for him right now was for Jiang Qiuqiu to recover her spiritual power.
He hurried over to Starry Sky Wander. By now, he was a full day late for their appointment.
He had sent a message to Mo Chengyu in advance. When he arrived at Mrs. Ai’er’s house, it was still early morning.
Jiang Qiuqiu was currently undergoing spiritual power restoration in a treatment chamber, so Mo Si met up with Mo Chengyu.
"You’re finally back." Mo Chengyu sighed in relief. "If you hadn’t shown up, Director Zhang would’ve had my head."
"Sorry I’m late," Mo Si said, looking at her. "I was taking care of some things."
"I saw." Mo Chengyu looked at her brother, a flicker of concern in her eyes. "Brother... was it because Qiuqiu was hurt? Is that why you flew into a rage and took them all down in one fell swoop?"
"...What are you thinking?"
Mo Si pressed his temples. "I’ve told you to watch fewer movies when you’re supposed to be doing research."
"This has been in the works for a long time. It wasn’t for any single person, but to deal with a particular group."
"Oh." That sounded reasonable enough. "But why now? You could have done this at any time, sooner or later. Why did it have to be these past two days?"
"Don’t you think the timing is a little too coincidental?"
Mo Si met his sister’s inquisitive gaze and grunted in acknowledgment. "Yes, Qiuqiu was part of the reason. But not in the way you’re thinking."
"And how would you know what I’m thinking?"
"Your expression gave you away."
"...Tch."
"Why are you so talkative all of a sudden?"
"Sigh, I don’t know how to put this." Mo Chengyu felt like she was watching this all from a strange, detached perspective. "Brother, I’m being completely serious now. I’m not joking—"
"Mm-hm." Mo Si glanced at her. "Go on."
"I think you’re different when it comes to Qiuqiu," Mo Chengyu said, her tone firm and decisive. "I think you like her."
Mo Si replied, "And you say you’re not joking?"
