Lian Chengyi and Pusden were both stunned by Mrs. Xi's words.

What do you mean...they can't do it?
Mrs. Xi sighed. She was physically exhausted and couldn't even speak properly.

"It's just some things... that only I can do."

"Okay, since you don't want to rest, go back and sort out Qi Lei's physical test report and seven mental and brain indicators."

Lian Chengyi smiled excitedly and nodded, not worried about being suddenly hit by a heavy workload at all. He turned around and went to the back to sort out materials happily.

Mrs. Xi:......

In fact, she still can't keep up with some people's thinking many times.

Pusden glanced appreciatively at Lian Chengyi, who loved his work.

Adults just need such outstanding and hard-working talents. The more such people, the better!
Later, Pusden exchanged some of his recent research and development results and the progress of "Gemini" with Mrs. Xi. The two parties reached a tacit understanding and did not mention Qi Lei, who had just brought the institute into chaos.

"Sir, maybe... you really should go and rest."

Pusden and Mrs. Sears have known each other for many years, and every slightest move by the other party can attract his attention.

It was obvious that the other party's behavior showed a fatigue that was not seen before.

Pusden frowned: "I heard that you haven't stepped out of the office door in the past few days. What on earth requires you to expend so much energy? In fact, many chores can be left to the people below to do it. Don't be too hard and nervous. …”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xi's eyebrows slightly arched, and she brushed the hair beside her ear:
"I'm glad that you care about me so much, my friend, but there are some things that you can't worry about. Can we stop this topic?"

Her voice was much softer, but it was unmistakable.

Pusden pursed his lips and nodded silently.

He understood that what Mrs. Xi meant when she said the words "my friend" was that her patience had reached its limit.

After the old man left, Mrs. Xi's eyes quickly returned to calmness.

She doesn't like to worry that much, and her previous words of "you can't do it" were also taken literally.

……

The soldier killed by Qi Lei was 24 years old and a student who had just graduated from the military academy.

For an ordinary family to be able to provide a military cadet, it can be said that it takes a lifetime of hard work.

When the couple first heard the bad news, they thought someone was playing a joke on them. It wasn't until repeated confirmations that they had to accept the fact.

The soldier who delivered the news watched helplessly as the smile on the gray-haired old man's face slowly disappeared and fell into a sluggish state, and then... his lips trembled and his eyes turned red, as if he was enduring great pain.

They actually forgot to cry.

It wasn't until the soldiers called him several times that he came to his senses and burst into tears.

The soldier couldn't help but have red eyes. The man who died was also his companion who lived with him day and night. Who can really be calm and calm?

"Uncle and aunt, our military department has awarded Comrade Li the Medal of Honor... and this is a consolation payment, please accept it!"

The soldier bowed and handed the medal of honor he was holding to the couple.

"Alin... was able to contribute to the people of Gaia and die on the battlefield against alien beasts... it was his honor. We will accept the Medal of Honor, but forget about the consolation money."

Finally, the oldest man stood up from behind. He had gray hair and a stooped back.

"dad!"

The couple was stunned, and saw the old man coming out of the house, and quickly helped him.

"I went to the battlefield when I was young, and I know that the battlefield is dangerous. I am very sad about Alin's death, but I am very happy that Alin died in an upright manner. My grandson is a hero..."

The old man's cloudy but still determined eyes silenced all the visiting soldiers.

The more Chicheng the other party is, and they firmly believe that Comrade Li died in the battle against the alien beast, the more sad and hesitant they are.Because as witnesses, they saw General Qi killing Comrade Li.

After saying the oath that didn't mean what they meant, several people left here as if they were running away.

"boom--"

A man couldn't bear it anymore and punched the wall next to him. The strength from years of military training made the wall rustle with dust.

"General Qi Lei killed someone, is this the end?"

he asked in a trembling voice.

When he recalled the elderly couple and the frail old man looking at him with such trust... he felt guilty.

The cruel reality made it difficult for him to speak.

"...I believe that the superiors will make a reasonable decision. General Qi is not without nothing. Everything needs to be investigated in detail."

The other soldier thought for a while and replied.

He has stayed in the army for a relatively long time, so he still has trust in the military headquarters of Caiya.

"Detailed investigation? Are you sure... I'm afraid it didn't end because of my identity!"

The soldiers who smashed the wall came from other star regions. In his opinion, General Qi Lei undoubtedly belonged to the privileged class. Coupled with the current handling method, it was difficult not to suspect that the military wanted to cover up.

"What are you talking about? This military department will not be such a bastard, and General Qi Lei also climbed up from the bottom, you——"

The other person retorted somewhat angrily.

"So what, don't you still dare not tell Comrade Li's parents the truth? If you go back and tell them the truth now, do you dare?!"

Everyone was silent, really not knowing how to refute this statement.

Is it fair and just to refute him?

Although General Qi was strict, he was always kind to his soldiers.

They wanted to retort like this, but the bloody reality was before them, leaving them speechless.

The best thing to do now is to keep silent and shut up.

Yan Zhou, who was in the dark, listened to the conversation between these people and raised his hands to cover his eyes in confusion.

It was noon at this time, and the sunlight was very dazzling, shining through the cracks into people's eyes with layers of halo.

She had just returned to her old home. She originally wanted to find Mrs. Xi, but she didn't want to get the news that she had been staying in the office for several days, so she had no choice but to leave it alone.

What on earth is that familiar and strange aura on Qi Lei's body?

Yan Zhou frowned.

The soldier who was killed by Qi Lei was a time bomb. There were countless witnesses on the battlefield, and there were many who were dissatisfied, such as the one just now.

No matter whether Qi Lei hurt his subordinates due to external reasons or internal reasons...from an objective point of view, he must be responsible for the dead soldier.

Because the runner-up army has always adhered to the concept of serving based on ability since the mother took office. On the battlefield, the superiors cannot decide the life or death of their subordinates at will.

According to Mrs. Xi's behavior, she would definitely not leave such a flammable hidden danger behind, but she just put it aside now.

I don't know what I'm busy with...

-

The swarm warning seemed like a fleeting threat, and the streets of Gaia soon fell back into festive festivities.
