w if you have any other text you'd like translated!Wu Lianyi muttered to herself, then packed up everything in the room and knocked on the door, calling for the Sun siblings."Sister Li, are we evacuat..."I can only say that the net of justice is wide and will eventually catch him. He will have to pay for his actions."

Ripples didn't feel a bit sorry. She could now understand why Wu Yishan had been so decisive in abandoning his original self back then. After all, he was a bastard who killed to ascend the throne. Therefore, as long as a bastard has the ability, he can inherit everything.

Unfortunately, things rarely go according to his expectations. Leo, the one holding him hostage, was the one who fell victim to the ripples. No one would have expected a pirate captain to bring an imperial general before a military tribunal.

The ripples sighed, "It's self-inflicted karma. It's just the wheel of fate turning!"

"Now it involves the hostile Yunyi star system. The military suspects Wu Yishan has connections with the Yunyi star system and needs to conduct further investigations, so he can't get out for the time being."

"We just don't want someone to drag you into this, so we wanted to let you know beforehand so you can be mentally prepared."

Du Zixian finally summed up.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, please rest assured, from the moment he gave up my guardianship for his illegitimate child, he has ceased to be my father. All that remains between us is blood relation, besides, I changed my surname a long time ago."

Perhaps my mother had long foreseen this day, so from childhood to adulthood, every star coin spent on me came from her own assets. Wu Yishan didn't even give his mother any star coins for raising his son. This is what I learned from her will after she passed away.

Ripples smiled and said, her face devoid of any sadness.

> “The time for sadness has passed, now he's just a stranger to me.”

It's good that you think that way, but I'm afraid...

"Grandfather, don't worry. The video of the purple mecha fighting space pirates that was circulating online recently I was the one piloting it. Haven't they been looking for the operator all this time Releasing this information now might be more advantageous for me."

As soon as the ripples finished speaking, General Du and Du Zixian immediately gave her a look. She turned her head and saw the old lady's unkind face.

"Okay! You guys are ganging up on me, saying that Lian Yi hid away and did nothing, just waiting for support!"

Ripples' face changed color, forgetting that this matter had always been kept secret from her grandmother. She immediately stepped forward and took hold of her grandmother's arm, starting to act coquettishly and begging for forgiveness. It was only with great difficulty that she appeased the old lady, and in the process, signed many unequal treaties before being let off.

However, the old madam still scolded General Du Lao and her eldest son, and that's how the matter was settled.

However, the ripples also reminded the two that this was a good opportunity to let the public see Ripples and Wu Yishan as separate entities, so as not to affect Ripples.

"Grandfather, uncle, I'll handle this myself. Please don't interfere. If those with ill intentions find out that you were the ones who leaked the information, they'll have another reason to attack me."

"Okay, you handle it yourself."

For these small matters, they trusted Ripples to handle them herself. Children need space to grow, and she did very well facing the pirate attack this time, exceeding their expectations by far.

The next day, at school, Ripples was surrounded by classmates who peppered her with questions about Wu Yishan. Ripples shared what she knew, but she kept silent about anything she hadn't confirmed or been told to reveal.

"While everyone else has sons who drag their fathers down, here you have a father dragging his son down."

Kate sighed.

"Squad Leader, don't just talk empty words, think about how to help Hongtu."

Anne frowned.

"What are you afraid of Now, Hongtu belongs to the Du family, not the Wu family."

Hill is now back to attending classes as usual, her mouth may still be running but she's already controlling her diet.

"But other people don't think that way. Legally, they have no relationship, but blood ties, after all, make them father and son."

Kate also agrees with Anne's statement.

Liàn Yī smiled, thanked the companions for their concern, and immediately said to David:

"David, I'll need your help again this time."

David's leg has recovered, and he is still taking classes in Class A. However, he has submitted an application to change his major, so it is likely that he will leave Class A next semester.

"Just tell me what you need me to do, Hongtu. I'm at your disposal."

"Regarding the purple mech pilot, that's my intel. You can feel free to share it with your brother, and he can spread the word."

David listened and was taken aback. He asked, puzzled:

"Before, you didn't want people to know. How come now"

“Before, I was afraid of trouble, after all, I am a student and didn’t want to be praised too much. Now, in order not to implicate my biological father, I can only release the news. At least this time I can catch the star thief, and I also have credit. I won't cover up my father because of our blood relationship.”

Ripple攤開雙手解釋道。

"Understood! I'll definitely make it seamless. Just happen to have a clip of you leaping out of the mech. That little punk didn't see it, I'll make sure he stumbles upon it."

David gave a thumbs-up gesture, confidently taking on the task.

Three days later, the empire's network was buzzing again. The operator of the purple mecha was exposed as a fourth-year student from the First Military Academy's Combat Department—a minor who had stunned netizens with his exceptional combat skills.

Another dig revealed that this handsome and aloof young boy actually had such a bumpy life experience. From being a dual-waste in the talent test to becoming a top genius, it's simply a story worthy of writing a novel.

And his true identity as Wu Yishan's biological son was also exposed. However, given what Wu Yishan had done, everyone believed that Lianli being taken away by the Du family and changing her surname was a natural consequence. Although they were father and son, they should be treated differently.

The online uproar left Wu Lian deeply worried. Although he still managed to maintain his academic standing, without the system and the advisors who used to help him, he felt lost. Now that his father was in trouble, he dared not go to school anymore, always fearing the strange looks from others.

He was so angry his teeth ached. Why could Wu Lianyi remain unaffected, even becoming a role model for young people He felt like a rat crossing the street, forced to hide. He hated Wu Lianyi, and he hated Wu Yishan. These people had destroyed his bright future.

But he didn't want to think about it, everything he had today was something he worked for himself.

Wu Yishan's trial lasted for a year, involving many people and events. In the end, Wu Yishan was convicted of treason. In the United Empire where the death penalty had been abolished, he would be sent to a remote mining star to spend the rest of his life there.

Before leaving, Wu Yishan proposed to meet with Lian Yi. Lian Yi firmly refused, feeling there was no need, as the two would not have any further interactions in the future.

Wu Yishan left Blue Star with regret, and the interest group headed by him was also arrested, fined, and transferred, completely disintegrated.

Six months later, the Unified Empire issued a statement, formally declaring war on the Yunyi Star System. The ensuing counter-offensive lasted for a full ten years.codile that was preparing to ambush him.The unique addition finally caught the enraged red bear's attention. His attack faltered for a moment, but he didn't pay attention to the crocodile approaching...
