Ou Haoxuan’s father heard Colonel Mu say that he was only going to find out which sniper made the shot. This was simply shirking his responsibility to them. His face was sunken as he watched his son being carried away on a stretcher, a white cloth covering his body.

  The person who killed him was already dead, so now he had no way to vent his anger.

  He couldn’t just whip the corpse, could he?

  Colonel Mu got into the SUV and rubbed his forehead. “Bring Mu Yeyao back to the old residence.”


  Colonel Mu headed there and beat his son half to death. Afterwards, he immediately sent him to the army, lest Mu Yeyao was attacked by public opinion.

  But this matter was too big. The Ou family heir had died and such news could not be suppressed. This was the era of the Internet. Make just a little wind and the Internet would be buzzing with activity.

  Min Haochu was punished and forced to copy the family rules a hundred times. His father walked into the room with a computer and placed it heavily in front of Min Haochu. “Look.”


  Min Haochu shuddered. The screen showed someone being carried away on a stretcher. Min Haochu had a bad premonition. His voice trembling, he asked, “Who died?”


  “The Ou family’s boy. You know who killed him,” Min Haochu’s father said. “Now rumors have sprung up saying that our corporation uses corpse oil. This matter can’t be suppressed.”


  “The immediate effect is that 10% of the sellers are no longer buying goods from the company,” Min Haochu’s father said. “Since you caused this mess, you will also be the one to fix it.”


  “The frightening thing isn’t how sinister and vicious people can be. What’s most frightening is the people who aren’t afraid of death. Maybe one day, someone who isn’t fearful of dying will walk into the company with bombs attached to them. Then we’re really done for.” Min Haochu’s father sneered, “It seems that your days have been too comfortable, that’s why you guys became so unbridled. This time, the corporation will definitely be hit hard.”


  “Dad.” Min Haochu’s face was pale. The image of his dead friend was right in front of him. This was a huge shock to him. If he had been the one who was taken hostage, then he would be dead right now.

  The matter about the rich families fermented and many videos circulated the Internet. The rich held eighty percent of the wealth and resources of society, while ordinary people were all at the bottom.

  There was no shortage of people who hated the rich, making this an almost tsunami-like event that shook the Internet.

  This was especially true as people sympathized with the weak. Two of the people involved in the incident were a pair of orphans and the younger brother even had an intellectual impairment.

  People gathered to crusade against the high and mighty. It was so refreshing. Not only were they fighting for justice, but they were also venting their indignation.

  Colonel Mu was reprimanded by his superiors, who directly said that Mu Yeyao lacked military integrity and a sense of responsibility.

  It was a casual sentence, but afterwards, Mu Yeyao’s political road wasn’t as smooth. The Mu family may have lost a generation with Mu Yeyao.

  The Mu family had no choice but to give up and train others instead. They couldn’t hang their hopes on Mu Yeyao anymore.

  The Mu family lost a promising child, the Ou family lost a child directly, and the Min family’s food sales directly dropped by forty percent.

  Forty percent was a lot of money.

  Even if the Min family had the authorities test their food, even if the food was qualified and the certificate was placed in front of the public, people wouldn’t trust them.

  Sometimes people just believed what they wanted to, and so repeated rumors became facts.

  Ning Shu stayed in the system space for a long time before she finally recovered. The feeling of her soul being torn was too painful. It really was unbearable.

  “It was a failure,” 2333 said with a sigh.

  Ning Shu spread her hands. “Failed.”


  “Your attitude was too strong. If you had shown weakness, there may have been a way to survive,” 2333 said.

  Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “What’s the use of showing weakness? I’d definitely be pressed into a sh*t bucket to eat a bellyful of sh*t. How about you try doing the task?”


  “Those people had no compassion at all. If they did, then the entrustor wouldn’t have suffered like that,” said Ning Shu.

  “They didn’t even think of me as an equal. Would you let a mouse go just because it wouldn’t stop squeaking at you?” Ning Shu said helplessly.
