"Good luck." These were Lan Yuhe's last words.
Ruan Mingchu watched as Lan Yuhe bit open the poison sac in his mouth and saw dirty blood flowing from the corner of his mouth before slowly going out to call for help.
Seeing Ruan Mingchu's dazed expression, Mu Qianren thought he was frightened and quickly called Mu Yu over to comfort him.
When Mu Yu arrived, he saw Ruan Mingchu sitting on the steps of the stairs, staring blankly out the window.
After hesitating for a while, Mu Yu finally spoke: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Mingchu shook his head. He was thinking about how many people in the world, like Lan Yu, are discriminated against because of their gender.
Gender equality is something that has been advocated and strived for for thousands of years, but the results have been far too meager.
Ruan Mingchu asked Mu Yu, "Do you think Omega can go into business, politics, or the military?"
Without hesitation, Mu Yu replied, "It depends on personal willingness and ability."
Ruan Mingchu laughed: "Yes, it depends on individual willingness and ability."
Not gender.
In his lifetime, I hope he can lead this empire into an era of true equality for all.
After the local military headquarters reported that Nguyen Minh Thu and others had completed their mission, the team system on the official website of the General Military University had been updated.
The list of S-level teams, with the strongest team now awaiting further evaluation, signifies the birth of the sixth S-level team in the Comprehensive Military Academy.
This news was like a bomb thrown into a boiling pot of water, causing an uproar.
"How is that possible? A bunch of freshmen, I don't believe they could have done it independently without anyone's help."
"With Mu Yu's status, it would be very easy for him to get someone to help him cheat, right?"
"Not only Mu Yu, but Gong Zhushen or Hao Youyou could cheat if they wanted to, given their family backgrounds."
"I demand that the details of their mission be exposed, or I will not accept it!"
...
A group of envious people caused a huge uproar on the forum, even teaming up to send emails to the vice principal and other high-ranking officials.
Before the matter could be resolved, the six people, including Ruan Mingchu, received a notification on their terminals to attend a meeting in the school auditorium as soon as they got off the aircraft on the day they returned to school.
Almost all the students on campus were called over. No one knew what was going on, and they started discussing it amongst themselves as soon as they came in, chattering away like they were in a market.
Gong Zhushen was just about to have a chat with Mu Yu when he saw him and Ruan Mingchu walking hand in hand towards the back of the hall. He couldn't help but wonder, he had only missed them for two days, and their relationship had progressed so rapidly?
Interrupting someone's romance is not a good idea, so Gong Zhushen gave up the idea and went to chat with Hao Youyou instead.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu walked to the backstage of the auditorium and saw Vice Principal Li Bingcang smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, looking at them kindly.
How could he not be kind? He went out to do an assessment task and not only established an S-level team that hadn't appeared for several years, but also brought him back a third-class merit.
You should know that apart from major battles on the battlefield, you have to accumulate merits little by little to be awarded a certain level of merit. Many people can only accumulate a third-class merit after eight or ten years. Unlike them, they got a third-class merit as soon as they entered military school.
He has a bright future ahead of him. The fact that such a talented person emerged during his tenure as the head of the school is a testament to his achievements.
Li Bingcang waved to the two of them, and as they walked over, he said, "The military will be holding an award ceremony for you in a little while. Your uniforms are ready, so go and change into them."
I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, it's only been a few days. The discovery of the mithril mine has truly delighted the military leaders, and the third-class merit award was given exceptionally generously.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu nodded, thanked each other, and then took their formal attire to the next room to change.
The saying "clothes make the man" is not an exaggeration. Even a handsome person would still look handsome in a tattered burlap sack, but good-looking clothes can better accentuate a person's beauty.
They were all military-style dress uniforms that were form-fitting and cinched at the waist. With a belt cinching their waists, their broad shoulders and narrow waists were breathtaking, and with tall boots, their legs seemed to start right below their necks.
With extraordinary presence and breathtaking beauty.
Ruan Mingchu's dress was black, and Mu Yu's gift was white, a striking match. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had stumbled into a wedding.
When Li Bingcang, who was acting as the host, said on stage, "Please welcome our recipients of the Third-Class Merit Award, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, to the stage."
The entire audience was stunned and remained completely silent.
Because of that "Star-Studded Third-Class Merit," and because the two people who emerged were too dazzling.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu strode confidently and resolutely, their chests puffed out, as Vice Principal Li pinned the medals to their chests.
Li Bingcang offered some words of encouragement, and Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu also expressed their gratitude.
There was back-and-forth on stage, but the audience remained completely bewildered.
It wasn't until Gong Zhushen desperately led the applause that everyone else joined in with enthusiastic applause, as if they had come back to life.
After the awarding ceremony ended, while the students needed some quiet time to recover, Gong Zhushen angrily pounced on Mu Yu's back: "You actually carried me to earn merit!"
She was like a resentful wife in her boudoir, her husband cheating on her.
Mu Yu tore the person off him and sneered, "Did you give me a chance to call you? I don't know who it was, but I had only opened my mouth halfway when they were afraid I would speak and hurriedly dragged the person away."
Halfway through his sentence, Gong Zhushen started wiping his sweat. Good heavens, he was just trying to create an opportunity for the two of you! Who knew you two wouldn't go for a romantic stroll, but instead went to investigate a case!
"I was wrong, I was wrong," Gong Zhushen apologized hastily.
Mu Yu scoffed coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his words.
The team has been formed, and the next step is to recruit new members. The six veterans are busy with recruitment and catching up on missed classes, keeping them as busy as spinning tops every day.
They were busy, but the people on the forum were even busier.
All military medals awarded by the military will have detailed supporting documentation provided by the recipient demonstrating their merit, which will be available for others to view and download.
The same applies to the third-class merit certificates of Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu. A group of people who felt that the two could not have obtained the third-class merit on their own merit went to the military website to download the certificates and studied them day and night, trying to find evidence that the two had cheated.
In conclusion, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu are really awesome.
First, Mu Yu noticed something amiss in the mine and discovered the presence of the mithril. If it were them, they wouldn't have been able to detect the mithril at all, and that was the end of it.
Later, Ruan Minh Thu's keen perception led him to connect the secret gold with the disappearance case.
What's even more impressive is that they managed to extract information from people even military professionals couldn't get out of their mouths. Their S-level mental strength is simply too high. Why is it that, as human beings, their mental strength is barely even an A-level?!
The battle against two A-rank warriors and five B-rank warriors in the later battle base was so exhilarating, it was a complete stomp. While they were still struggling to graduate and hoping to be promoted to B-rank warriors, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu had already become top A-rank warriors in their freshman year.
What the hell is the point of going to military academy with this level of skill? Wouldn't it be better to just join the army and contribute to the country?
After seeing these supporting documents, most people were completely convinced.
The gap is too big; I don't even dare to criticize them anymore.
The resentful envious person no longer dared to cause trouble in public. Not only would they be attacked for saying something sarcastic, but they were also afraid that Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yuzhen would find them online and they would be killed with a punch.
The school was full of Alphas flirting with Ruan Mingchu and Omegas swooning over Mu Yu, which infuriated Ye Lele so much that she smashed the furnishings in her room.
He was already worried because Ruan Mingchu was alive and well while Yi Paohui and the others had disappeared. Now, he was so angry that he fainted and ended up in the hospital.
The first thing he did upon waking up was to curse at Ruan Mingchu's photo and continue plotting to kill her.
But he never got that chance.
"What are you doing?! This is a hospital! How dare you trespass! Security! Security! Where are all the security guards?!"
"Let me go! Let me go now! Or I'll kill you all!"
No matter how much Ye Lele cursed or threatened him, the men in black who suddenly barged into the ward remained unmoved and simply dragged him off the bed and took him away.
The passing doctors, nurses, and even patients and their families acted as if they didn't see Ye Lele or the man in black holding him. No matter how much Ye Lele cried for help, no one gave him a second glance.
The man in black frowned impatiently, then chopped Ye Lele unconscious with a chop to the neck, and the world finally fell silent.
When Ye Lele woke up, she found herself sitting in a chair with her hands and feet bound. Although her eyes were open, all she could see was darkness.
He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, and his mind raced as he tried to figure out who had brought him here.
Ye Lele believed that everything he did was very secretive, and none of the scumbags he taught a lesson came from prominent families, so it was impossible for them to find these men in black.
The immediate target is Ruan Mingchu, but Ruan Mingchu is an orphan without parents, unless Mu Yu stands up for him.
Mu Yu, what a Mu Yu, you're fucking blind!
Ye Lele was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
Before sending people to capture Ye Lele, Mu Yu showed Ruan Mingchu what his men had found out during their mission.
Ye Lele was extremely arrogant, relying on her family background and the fact that the people she bullied were all from ordinary families. She did things ruthlessly and almost without any attempt to cover them up, and everything was easily found out when investigated.
"Yi Paohui and his group got the trigger from Ye Lele. Ye Lele also took the initiative to approach him and asked him to..." Mu Yu didn't finish those words, his face already clouded with gloom.
Ruan Mingchu, who was almost "defiled," didn't feel anything. As an Alpha, even though he was short and thin now, he didn't feel that he had anything to do with being insulted.
Ruan Mingchu was more interested in how Ye Lele obtained the trigger: "Did his parents or other relatives help him get the trigger?"
The stimulant is banned and can only be obtained from the black market, and it's quite expensive. But judging from the fact that Yi Paohui and his group each have one, the stimulant seems to be cheaper than the nutrient solution.
Mu Yu shook his head: "His family doesn't even know about his many years of wrongdoing. Even his twin brother thinks he's just a bit arrogant and domineering like a spoiled young master."
That's strange," Ruan Mingchu pondered as he browsed the materials Mu Yu had brought.
First, here's a photo of Ye Lele when she was around ten years old. You could say she had regular features, but the difference between her current radiant appearance and her current look is quite significant.
"Has he had plastic surgery?" Ruan Mingchu asked.
Mu Yu shook his head again: "Look at these photos from different time periods. He gradually became the way he is now, and there is no record of any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures in between."
Ruan Mingchu looked through the photos one by one, and then at the tragedies committed by Ye Lele, his brow furrowing.
Initially, the victims were all Ye Lele's classmates, but later they became people who occasionally crossed paths or people she bumped into on the street. What they had in common was that they were all beautiful, all of them were subjected to various forms of violence by Ye Lele, and all of them eventually committed suicide.
Starting when Ye Lele was fifteen years old, there were about a dozen victims every year.
If it was simply jealousy, his appearance had already become comparable to that of the person Ye Lele had persecuted since she started persecuting the first one.
If it's simply a case of psychological abnormality, then Ye Lele's family all say that she was very kind when she was little.
It's less about venting anger and more about deliberately harming someone.
Suicide, suicide… Ruan Mingchu suddenly pointed at the documents and asked Mu Yu, “Did these people really commit suicide?”
Mu Yu asked, puzzled, "You mean they were killed?"
Ruan Mingchu shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "Don't you think it's a bit like what Feng Rong and his people did on Mine Star 188, where they tricked people on the verge of death into faking their deaths and then transported them away?"
First, the victim is psychologically harmed, and their family is made aware of the victim's depression. At this point, suicide becomes a reasonable explanation.
His family would only be heartbroken, perhaps even hating the abuser. But even if this were to come to light, regardless of whether Ye Lele had any powerful connections, the court wouldn't rule it as suicide.
After listening to the long explanation, Mu Yu's head was buzzing. He only got the gist of it: "If you suspect they didn't commit suicide, then send someone to check if the ashes are still there and if it's the person in question."
