Chapter 478 Xiao 5 goes home 29
A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, and he immediately conveyed the order.
Ten minutes later, the Interstellar Media Alliance's push exploded on the Star Network like thunder.
Admiral Azure defeated the pirates
Evidence from Zhou's Zerg Experiments
The hero who disappeared for a year returns
The three topics topped the trending searches at the speed of light, and the server was instantly overwhelmed by billions of messages.
The comment section of Star Network was in an uproar.
Some people posted satellite images of the destruction of the pirate lair, while others interpreted the Zhou family's test report word for word.
Many more people shed tears at the photo of Wei Lan in the battleship's command cabin: "I knew the Admiral wouldn't die!" "It's been a year, and we finally waited for you to come back!"
The details of the Zerg experiments aroused public outrage, the tearful accusations of the residents of the garbage planet became popular, and the topic of "the Zhou family should get out of the interstellar parliament" quickly fermented.
Inside the army's highest command center, several elders stared at the messages on the encrypted communicator with serious expressions.
"He is still alive." The Chief of General Staff slammed Wei Lan's battle report on the table.
"Hiding the warship and striking with precision, this guy is hiding deep enough."
Warfare Minister Lu Chen, standing nearby, pulled up the Star Network data, his brow furrowed. "Public support has skyrocketed to 92% instantly. The Zhou family is in chaos."
At this moment, Lu Chen's private communication showed that someone was requesting a call.
He gestured to everyone, turned around and went to a private room to answer the call.
The caller was Zhou Mingyuan. "Captain, Wei Lan fabricated evidence to slander the Zhou family! He colluded with pirates, faked his own death, and is now trying to overthrow the military!"
Zhou Mingyuan's voice was tearful, and he tried to gain sympathy with his final struggle.
Zhou Mingyuan's words made Lu Chen laugh out loud.
He casually tapped on his smart computer, and a surveillance video played between the light and shadow of the two people.
Zhou Mingyuan in the picture is instructing his men to move the annihilation bomb. The cruelty on his face is completely different from his crying at the moment.
"It's no use saying that now. The Chief of General Staff has ordered the military police to arrest all members of the Zhou family and await trial by military court."
Lu Chen's voice was cold and resolute. "Do you think your words can defeat this solid evidence?"
Zhou Mingyuan's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled: "Lu Chen, you can't do this to me! Our two families are old friends! My father once saved your father's life!"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he was about to cut off the communication: "For your father's sake, I have said all I want to say. I have repaid the Zhou family's kindness this time.
You should think about where you can take the Zhou family to escape to.
Believe me, you have no chance of winning against Wei Lan."
He looked at Zhou Mingyuan's desperate expression on the screen without being moved at all.
The current situation is not the time to care about family friendships and favors. Lu Chen only hopes that the Zhou family’s crimes will not implicate him.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen returned to the command room and reported to the Chief of General Staff: "The Zhou family is completely panicked. Zhou Mingyuan even tried to talk about our old relationship, but I refused."
The Chief of General Staff nodded, a trace of regret in his eyes: "The Zhou family has fallen into this situation today, it is all their own fault.
Pass the order on to strengthen surveillance of Zhou family members and never let them escape legal punishment."
Everyone present heard their conversation, and Lu Chen had no intention of hiding it from others.
The command room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of breathing. Several elders looked at each other in silence, with complicated expressions on their faces.
"Bringing up old ties at this time is such a joke." Lieutenant General Zhao, who was in charge of intelligence, sighed, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table.
"When Mr. Zhou was alive, the Zhou family was so prosperous. How could they have raised such a heartless and insane descendant?"
He was related to the Zhou family. Old man Zhou had taught him how to shoot. But when he mentioned the Zhou family now, he was filled with regret.
Logistics Director Li, Lao, took a sip of his teacup. The soft clink of the cup lid broke the silence. "We've been working together for decades. Honestly, who doesn't have some rapport with each other?"
When he was young, he worked at a border logistics station. When supplies were in short supply, Zhou Mingyuan's father personally escorted a truck to deliver life-saving medical equipment.
"Don't underestimate the Zhou family's business acumen. During the first Zerg invasion, their freight fleet risked being devoured and delivered supplies to the front lines for three months. They made a significant contribution to interstellar space."
Mr. Li put down his teacup, his tone becoming grave: "Friendship is friendship, but the bottom line cannot be broken.
Using living people for Zerg experiments and using innocent civilians as vessels for mutation is something that is intolerable, and no one can protect them.
If Mr. Zhou knew about this, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave."
The Chief of General Staff put down the documents in his hand and glanced at everyone present. "It's good that everyone understands. We wear this military uniform to protect the peace of the entire galaxy, not the power of any one party."
Wei Lan has endured this for a year just for this day. We can’t let him down, and we can’t let the people down.”
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing the Chief of General Staff's words.
No matter how delicate the situation was before, or how many private dealings they had with the Zhou family, everyone now knew which side they should stand on.
Lieutenant General Zhao stopped sighing. Elder Li frowned. Even the Director of the Equipment Department, who had been silent until then, spoke in a deep voice, "The Chief of the General Staff is right. Military law is as strong as a mountain, and public opinion is as high as heaven. We cannot be vague."
Now that Wei Lan has laid everything out in the open, with overwhelming evidence, they can only stand on the side of justice.
A large amount of support and accusations are still rolling in on the Star Network. The people's eyes are very clear. Anyone who dares to favor the Zhou family at this time is tantamount to digging his own grave.
Lu Chen added, "The military police have sealed off all of the Zhou family's properties and residences, and the account books and communication records are being counted overnight.
I just received news that the Star Network Supervision Department has also frozen all their accounts, making it impossible for them to escape."
The lights in the command room reflected the solemn faces of several elders, and the main star outside the window was brightly lit.
They all knew that this trial was not only an explanation to Wei Lan and the people, but also an explanation to the bottom line of justice in the entire galaxy.
The Chief of General Staff looked at Lu Chen and said, "Have the military police started the live broadcast? If not, notify them and start the live broadcast now.
The entire process was fair, just and open!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful. "Let the people of the entire galaxy see our military's determination to handle this matter, and see the extent of the sins committed by the Zhou family."
Lu Chen immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll go notify the military police to start the live broadcast."
He turned and walked to the communication console and gave instructions quickly.
Not long after, live footage of the military police performing a mission at the Zhou family mansion appeared on Star Internet. The camera clearly recorded the entire process of the military police searching, sealing evidence, and controlling Zhou family members.
