A few days later, several lesser-known news agencies on Starnet suddenly released several reports one after another.
The Truth About Star Thief Attacking Civilian Shuttle Ships and Causing Many Deaths! The murderer behind the scenes is a national idol? "
"Shock! In the past, the young master of the Xing family joined the Star Bandits after being kicked out of the house? "
"Reveal! The bloody road behind the new talented energy master! "
…
Relying on these sensational headlines, these tabloid newspapers with no technical content quickly caused a lot of reposts on the Internet.
"On July 18, 1522 in the star calendar, a civilian shuttle ship on the border of our country was robbed by star thieves. Lin Luo and Xing Mo, the former eldest son of the Xing family, who made out the purple and gold colored glass, were also on board the shuttle..."
This report is not only taken out of context, but also confounded black and white, patched together, and abruptly planted the cause of the star thief attacking the civilian shuttle on Lin Luo's head, claiming that it was because Lin Luo was carrying a priceless jadeite, which attracted a lot of attention. Here comes the coveted star thief.
If this one report is not enough to be believed, then the other two reports just provided evidence for it.
The second report directly released a surveillance screenshot. Although the screenshot was a bit blurry, Xing Mo's iconic handsome face could still be seen clearly, and he was obviously wearing the clothes of the star thief.
The fact that Xing Mo was kicked out from the Xing family is no secret among the upper class, but his cooperation with the Yin family's auction house is rarely known.
So the media took it for granted that Xing Mo's economy began to become tight after the accident happened in his mine, and then mentioned "Where did Xing Mo, who is penniless, get the money to gamble on stones?" Both inside and outside the words imply that Xing Mo must rely on being a star thief to rob, so that he can have the principal to buy stones.
As for the third report, it was even more exaggerated. It directly revealed the relationship between Lin Luo and Xing Mo. It was deduced that they were deliberately putting on a show for the purpose of cheating and making a realistic scene. Swallow that top-quality emerald alone.
The media also made an exclusive report, saying that the money Xing Mo and Lin Luo went to gamble on the stone market this time was actually borrowed, and that the two of them were in order to pay off their debts and monopolize the jadeite, so they attracted stars. Pirates, pretending that the jade was robbed, in fact, they have already colluded with the star robbers. Although it is different from the previous media's speculation, it is still the same goal by different routes. They both insist that Xing Mo and Lin Luo are in collusion with the star thief.
These reports seem to be as good as they said, one after another, the description is quite detailed, and they can also be used to support each other. Coupled with a few specious pictures, they seem to have a nose and eyes, which makes people feel guilty. muttered.
At first, everyone thought it was just a fabricated joke, but as some analysis gradually appeared in the comment area, and some "insiders" picked up the matter of Xing Mo's parents leaving the Xing family, the rumors exploded suddenly.
Good Patriarch, why did you suddenly retire? Did he know what his son had done, so he wanted to run away with his family before being convicted
Xing Mo seldom logged on to Starnet. When people couldn't find him, they swarmed into Lin Luo's personal social platform, clamoring for him to come out and give an explanation!
[Depend on! seriously? Lin Luo, come out and make it clear!]
[It can not be? There is no response for such a long time, could it be a guilty conscience?]
[roll roll roll! What a genius energy engineer! Just a bastard pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! Heart and liver are black!]
[If you don't dare to come out and respond, it means it's true!]
[Coward, come out if you have the ability!]
[This kind of person should be sentenced! Distribute Desolate Star!]
[Collude with the Star Thief of the Federation, this already constitutes a crime of treason, it is too cheap for them to distribute the Desolate Star, so they should pay for their lives!]
In the Xing family's mansion in Capital Star, Xing Shang was paying attention to the movement on the Star Net, and seeing that the netizens' emotions had been aroused, he couldn't help showing a malicious smile, "Haha, father, it's exactly as you said , Now that public opinion on the Internet has been mobilized, when do you think the family members of the victims will stand up?"
"Wait a little longer, let's see what's going on with Xing Mo and that Lin Luo." Xing Zhengyuan hooked the corner of his mouth and said.
"What if they are too guilty to respond?"
"At that time, we will add more flames. After the matter becomes serious, the military department will have to investigate the matter openly. As long as the case is filed, they will not be able to wash away the dirty water." Xing Zhengyuan He cast a sideways glance at Xing Shang and said, "Let Xue Ning keep an eye on the military headquarters and get the list of survivors as soon as possible."
The weight of the families of the victims is not enough. It is best for the survivors to come out and correct them in person. Even if they are full of mouths, they will not be able to wash away the charge of treason!
"Okay, father!" Xing Shang immediately sent a communication request to Xue Ning.
After the communication rang twice, it was connected, and Xue Ning's beautiful face appeared on the screen of the optical brain.
"What's the matter?" Xue Ning was obviously hiding in a corner of a corridor, looking around nervously, for fear that someone would find that she was talking to someone else.
"Xiao Ning, when will I get the list of survivors?"
"It's not easy for me to get that video clip. Now that the screenshots of the video have been leaked, the higher-ups have sent someone over. It's really inconvenient for me to do it now." Xue Ning said in a low voice, "You guys are too impatient, Why didn't you investigate first, and just poked it out so quickly?"
"What else do you need to investigate? You got the video from the military, can it still be fake?" Xing Shang sneered, "Just let everyone see what kind of guy my pious brother is!"
"But the shuttle ship exploded too badly, and the recording chip was seriously damaged. The video recovered from the chip is only a short segment, and the ins and outs are not clear. It's just taken out of context. What if..."
"What if? Do you think my elder brother is innocent? Let me tell you, Xue Ning, don't forget whose fiancee you are!" When the Xue family proposed marriage, Xing Mo was actually the first person they fell in love with. Xue Ning has been to Xing's house a few times, and always talks to Xing Mo. After Xing Shang awakened his mental powers and gradually gained certain power, Xue's family finally let Xue Ning get engaged to him. For Xing Shang, at that time, Xue Ning clearly knew that Xing Mo was a waste whose powers could not be upgraded, but he was still more optimistic about him.
Xue Ning's face suddenly became ugly when she heard this, she bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xing Shang realized that he had gone too far, and immediately changed his words, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ning, I'm just... just a little impulsive..."
Xue Ning pulled out an ugly smile, accepting his apology.
"My dad said that the public opinion is basically one-sided now. When the time is almost up, we will let the family members of the deceased come out to make a fuss. At that time, the military department will definitely open the investigation and file a case in order to give an explanation to the public. As long as there is a video as evidence, they definitely have no room to stand up."
"Um… "
"That's how it is, try to see if there is a chance to get a list of survivors! My dad said it would be better to have the testimony of survivors."
"knew."
Seeing Xue Ning's indifferent attitude, Xing Shang knew he was wrong, so he ended the call resentfully.
***********
In Xing Mo's and Lin Luo's home, Xing's father and Xing's mother couldn't sit still after seeing the comments on the Internet.
"Son, are we really not going to respond? Just let them slander you like this?" Xingmu couldn't bear the foul language on Xingwang.
At the beginning, there were still many rational fans who raised doubts on Lin Luo's personal social platform, but they were soon suppressed by the swarm of abuse, and now the comment area is so smoky that it is impossible to read it.
"Mom, don't worry about it, I know it well." Compared with the annoyed father and mother, Xing Mo and Lin Luo, the parties involved, were quite calm.
"But..." Mother Xing wanted to say something, but Father Xing dragged her away.
"Okay, okay, don't you understand our son? He said it's okay, so he's going to be okay." After seeing that Xing Mo was indeed confident rather than trying to be brave, Xing Fu dragged Xing Mu away.
After Xingfu and Xingmu left, Xing Mo connected to the communication with Yin Ye.
"How's the situation?" Xing Mo asked.
"As we expected, they didn't even check, they just bit the bait, they are really stupid." Yin Ye's voice was full of disdain.
"Hmph." Xing Mo snorted coldly, "It's time to let them stop. I didn't care about them in the past. It was for my father's sake. Now that my father has retired, I don't need to worry about anything anymore. face."
"Haha, you're absolutely right. Those people's hearts are so dark that they dare to pour any dirty water on you." Yin Ye said with a sneer, "I can't wait to see what's next. play."
The attack of the star thief on the civilian shuttle caused a great commotion. In addition to the dead and injured citizens of the empire who needed to be resettled and dealt with, there was also the background of the traitor who really colluded with the star thief—Ma Fatty. Further investigation, so the empire has been handling follow-up matters in a low-key manner.
However, it was unexpected that the Xing family took advantage of the loopholes. These people also have imagination. Based on such a few words of information, they guessed that Xing Mo and Lin Luo were traitors and wanted to pour dirty water on them. Might as well just give them some 'evidence'.
