CH 185

Chapter 185: 

Although the statement was hurtful, it was also true. They would not be able to come up with results even if they studied this video a thousand times.

Although the video was in perfect sync with the actual situation, it was still difficult to extract useful data from it, nor would it help in finding out the truth.

Although there was no way to refute this statement, someone had a new idea: "Since we can’t get any results from this video, why don’t we just ask Lieutenant General Cheng? Or maybe we should invite Cheng Yi to the Ministry? "

Lieutenant General Cheng happened to be away from the military headquarters, so he did not attend the meeting. But they could contact him at any time.

As soon as this comment was made, someone immediately echoed it, "Yes, Cheng Yi is the eldest son of Lieutenant General Cheng, so he should know his situation very well. And I don’t think he would refuse if we contacted Cheng Yi through him. " 

"So you want to tell General Cheng that his eldest son has just experienced a great threat from the mother zerg due to a mistake by the military," General Zheng snorted again, "and then tell him that his eldest son destroyed the mother zerg with his own strength, and at the same time rescued the military’s rescue tesm. Then will you go ahead and congratulate him for this?"

All this is true, but it would be humiliating for the military to admit it.

And it wasn’t just a matter of face, either; it was a very serious matter that such an oversight had occurred.

Although the problem had now been solved, the follow-up investigation would be a top priority.

Someone took the initiative to suggest, "Now that the mother zerg has been eliminated, there is no need to worry about the aftermath. Should we start the investigation? Why don’t we leave the investigation to Lieutenant General Cheng and Lieutenant General Lu? I think we should have the results soon."

Someone immediately retorted, "I don’t have a problem with leaving this matter to Lieutenant General Cheng to investigate, but Lieutenant General Lu... forget it. Isn’t there one other thing that hasn’t been investigated? I want to know who leaked the information and let the participants of the competition know about the map in advance?" 

General Lu’s already black face suddenly became as black as the bottom of a pot. But he could only suppress his anger and could not make a fuss. After all, what the other party said was the truth.

He was only thankful that giving out the contents of the map was less serious than the issue of the zerg.

Although he was subjectively biased towards his son, he still had to express his stance. General Lu then said solemnly, "Don’t worry, I will pursue Lu Chen’s mistakes and give everyone an explanation."

No matter what the truth was, and whether General Lu, as a father, knew what his son had done or not, the others did not continue to hold on to the issue after his words.

They returned to the previous topic, and the vast majority of people had no objection to leaving the investigation to General Cheng.

Although the emergency situation had been dealt with, the military decided to contact Lieutenant General Cheng to make a statement, and Admiral Zheng personally made the call.

The communication was quickly connected in front of everyone, and Lieutenant General Lu’s solemn face appeared.

From the look on his face, everyone could already guess that he was aware of what was happening on the field.

But what should be said must still be said. General Zheng first explained the situation briefly, and then made a suggestion for the next investigation: "We all agreed that it is appropriate to leave this matter to you. I wonder what you think."

General Cheng pondered for a moment. Admiral Zheng was not in a hurry, thinking that the other side was deliberately trying to take over the investigation. After all, this matter involved his eldest son. Giving it to him for investigation was a kind of compensation, and it was impossible for the other side to refuse it.

However, before General Cheng could give his reply, he heard a strong and calm voice on the video: "Instead of leaving this matter to him, why don’t you leave it to me, Admiral Zheng?"

At the sound of this voice, Admiral Zheng’s eyes could not help but get alert, and his attitude immediately became a little more respectful: "I see that Old Marshal Cheng is also here. I didn’t notice you just now, I’m sorry for being rude. "

General Cheng looked at his father helplessly. He was sitting opposite him, so he adjusted the direction of the camera to focus on the latter.

Since his father had chosen to speak up at this time, it meant that he had something to say.

Although he was only talking on video, everyone in the conference room subconsciously straightened and sat in a more standard posture when old Marshal Cheng’s majestic face appeared on the video screen.

The aura of authority that seemed to be inherent caused everyone to subconsciously hold their breath, not daring to breathe out.

But then, several people drew in a breath of cold air, as if they had been frightened by something.

They were not so shocked by old Marshal Cheng’s presence as they were when they saw the way he looked now.

When Marshal Cheng left the army for health reasons, many people in the army had visited him more than once, out of courtesy or for some other purpose.

So many people knew that his health was deteriorating and that his condition was so bad that he was becoming much older and weaker.

But the situation seemed to be different from what they remembered. Compared to the last time they had seen him, old Marshal Cheng seemed to be in good spirits and full of energy, not at all like he was dying.

They searched their memories and felt that old Marshal Cheng looked even stronger than when he was still in the military.

They were shocked by this discovery, but at the same time, other thoughts quickly arose in their minds.

Old Marshal Cheng smiled brightly and looked at General Zheng in the video, "What do you think of my proposal? I don’t think it would be too much of a problem for me to investigate this matter, right? However, I have not been to the military for too long and I have too few people available to me, so I may need Admiral Zheng’s help. "

At these words, the expressions of all the people in the conference room changed. Was Old Marshal Cheng planning to return to the Ministry?

Admiral Zheng's gaze flickered slightly, and then he said with a forced smile, "With Marshal Cheng’s ability, it wouldn’t be too much to ask you to investigate this matter?"

"Don't say that," old Marshal Cheng said with a smile and a wave of his hand. His voice sounded casual but his attitude was firm. "I need to first do something after resting for such a long time. And this is suitable. "

These words turned everyone’s suspicions into facts.

Admiral Zheng’s expression changed, but he could only say with a forced smile in the end, "Since Old Marshal Cheng has said so, there is naturally no problem. I will have to trouble you with this matter. "

"Then the matter is settled. You are still in a meeting, right? I will not delay your precious time. " Old Marshal Cheng hung up the phone with these words.

Cheng Fu could not help but sigh, "Father, why are you so anxious?"

"They are the ones who are bullying people too much!" Grandpa Cheng’s easy going appearance changed and his face was full of coldness. " They have been fighting for so many years and I did not ask questions. But they have now lost their heads and involved unrelated people! I can’t just ignore it! "

Especially when the people involved are his grandson and his life-saving benefactor.

Grandpa Cheng’s attitude towards An Yan has always been very clear. It is one thing for him to be in love with his grandson, and Grandpa Cheng will love him as if he were a junior.

But he would never forget that this child had saved his life and helped him in many ways. It was a kindness he could never repay in his lifetime.

How could Grandpa Cheng bear it now that those people’s internal struggle has involved this child, and even nearly killed him? 

Although he had recovered, he had already left the military for many years and did not have the ambition to return.

But it seems he had to.

Although Cheng Fu felt that his father’s action was a little too strong and abrupt, he agreed with it in his heart. So, he just sighed and didn’t say anything more.

Although he was away from the military, his family was at home watching the competition live, so they got to know about the situation as soon as it happened.

Cheng Fu felt afraid just recalling what had just happened. He didn’t even dare think about how the family would have coped with this sudden turn of events if An Yan hadn’t saved his son’s life.

For those in the military, including the viewers of the livestream, although they did not know how Cheng Yi had done it, there was no doubt that he had saved everyone.

But Cheng Yi’s family knew better than anyone else that the situation had been turned around thanks to An Yan’s help.

So whether it was for their own son or for An Yan, who had saved their son’s life, the matter had to be investigated thoroughly.

While the Cheng family was gradually relaxing and making up their minds, the military was secretly agitated.

After the recent communication, everyone knew that the military would soon be in a state of flux!

The post of Marshal had been left vacant ever since the old Marshal Cheng left the military. Even though all the affairs of the military had been handed over to General Zheng, there had been no news of his promotion to Marshal.

It is self-evident what this means. Old

Marshal Cheng, who has been away from the military for many years, is coming back, and he looks even better than he did at the beginning.

In addition, his only son had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and was in charge of many important matters at the Ministry. When old Marshal Cheng returns, the situation in the Ministry of Military Affairs will change dramatically.

In contrast to the unsettled atmosphere at the Ministry of Military Affairs, there was a lot of joy on the Livestream.

Almost everyone closed their eyes in despair at the moment when the mother zerg attacked and they were forced to wait for the brutal truth that was to follow.

However, no one expected that a miracle would happen in the nick of time!

The mother zerg’s spiritual attack exploded, but it was easily defeated by an unknown, mysterious force.

The mysterious force not only protected the humans around them but also killed the mother zerg, eliminating the danger!

At that moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were silent for more than 10 seconds before they started to cheer.

Viewer 1: Oh my God! It’s a miracle that the mother zerg’s spiritual attack didn’t hurt the two bosses or any other humans!

Viewer 2: I’m not dreaming, am I? Come on, come on, someone pinch me! Tell me it’s not a dream!

Viewer 3: The two bosses are fine! That’s great! I’m so happy, wuuu…

Viewer 4: My heart is finally beating normally! I was not the one in danger, but I feel like I’m alive again!

Viewer 5: I’ve been crying from the start and I’m still crying. But I was crying in despair, and now I’m crying in joy. I’ve probably cried all the tears in my life today...

Viewer 6: I love you, Cheng Yi! You’re the best! 

Viewer 7: An Yan, there’s something I’ve never had the courage to tell you, but now I have to say it out loud! I’ve been secretly in love with you for a long, long time! Even if I get a challenge from Cheng Yi, I have to say it!

Viewer 8: Good job upstairs. I suggest you take the initiative to challenge boss Cheng Yi so that you can show your love for boss An Yan.

Viewer 7: That…… forget it. I was just talking. Boss Cheng Yi, please don’t take it seriously (~_~;)

.……

Gifts poured into the livestream as the viewers laughed and cheered.

A lot of gifts from fans would pour in anytime the two did something spectacular, and the same goes for the daily show of affection.

But the situation was much more intense and long-lasting this time. Not only did the emotional fans swipe gifts, but the passers-by watching the live stream also sent gifts to express their wishes to the two.

At one point, the gift-giving messages even exceeded the speed of everyone’s pop-ups. The screen was so full of gift effects that one might not even see a corner of the live screen if they didn’t turn off the notifications.
