Star Rebirth: Kidnapping the Crazy Boss

Huo Zhiyuan felt a sting on his face from his gaze, but he had already decided to do it and would not change his mind just because of Huo Yan's look.

Looking at the situation at the scene, the Prime Minister touched his forehead which had become even balder, and felt great sympathy for Huo Yan in his heart.

This Huo Zhiyuan is really willing to do anything for his own benefit. He has been busy all his life and still can't see the situation clearly. Even with the current situation of the Huo family, he still only wants to overthrow Huo Yan. He is simply stupid.

But as the federal prime minister, he needs to balance the forces of all parties, and he cannot openly stand on Huo Yan's side.

"Huo Yan, since Marshal Huo and Admiral Ming have both accused you of deliberately releasing the star beasts on the Yonghen battlefield, which led to the tragic annihilation of an entire division of the First Army, then you should explain yourself in front of everyone."

When the Prime Minister said this, everyone present looked at Marshal Huo thoughtfully, and Huo Zhiyuan's face froze.

He was clearly asking in shock, but how come the Prime Minister accused him and Mingchang together?

Huo Yan curled his lips slightly, looked at the information transmitted from the computer, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

Seeing him moving slowly and confidently, Huo Zhiyuan felt a little uneasy. To be honest, he and Huo Yan had fought many times over the years. He had gone from being disdainful of this kid in the beginning to being a little afraid of him now.

This was a madman who was completely unaffected by worldly morals. He could tell from the fact that he killed Chu Yu's clone without hesitation.

So he also gave up the last thought of letting him return to the Huo family.

Someone who is out of control, cannot be used for one's own benefit, and may even seize every opportunity to put the Huo family to death, will only be a disaster if kept.

"Since Admiral Ming and Marshal Huo have jointly made the accusation, it is natural for me to respond to this matter.

But relying on just one witness doesn't prove anything. Who can guarantee that this person wasn't bribed by General Ming and Marshal Huo to slander me for personal gain?

Although the grandfather and grandson of the Huo family have been at odds for many years, this is the first time they have fallen out in public, and Huo Yan said this without any scruples.

Huo Zhiyuan: "Ah Yan, Chu Yi is your mother's nephew. The Chu family has always followed your lead. How could he be bribed to harm you?"

Huo Yan looked at Huo Zhiyuan and said, "Marshal, I think your mind has been clouded by personal grudges. If you still cannot attend the meeting with a fair and impartial attitude, I will ask the Prime Minister and the Parliament to ask you to withdraw from the meeting."

Mr. Prime Minister reached out and touched his forehead again, and began to sympathize with Huo Zhiyuan in his heart. Why did you provoke him for no reason? After so many years, he still couldn't learn to keep his tail between his legs.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful. It would be great if this guy was his child. He was brave and resourceful, and he would be a federal major general at such a young age. He might even make further progress in a few decades. But he was born into the Huo family and they didn't even want him.

Huo Zhiyuan finally calmed down after repeated attempts, but Mingchang immediately jumped out.

"Mr. Prime Minister, after capturing this man named Chu Yi on the Yonghen battlefield, we interrogated him overnight. He confessed to being instructed by Huo Yan to destroy the protective shield on the Yonghen battlefield and attract the star beasts. This is the video of his interrogation."

Soon, the interrogation video of Chu Yi appeared on the big screen in front of the conference room.

The young man in the video had his hands handcuffed and was sitting on a special chair. He looked straight ahead with a dejected expression. He did not appear to have been subjected to any punishment and was very conscious.

"I don't want to do this either, but I have to do it for Ah Yan. He has worked so hard to defend the Yonghen battlefield for so many years. Why do you, the people of the First Army, come and rob it? If you want to rob it, you should see if you have the ability to do it.

I will take responsibility for my own actions, so don't bother Ah Yan."

After saying this, the young man arrogantly spat in the front.

Although Chu Yi's words did not explicitly say that he was ordered by Huo Yan, it actually made no difference. His words expressed that Huo Yan was unwilling to leave the Yonghen battlefield, was dissatisfied with the First Army's practice of taking advantage of the situation, and had no regrets about the sacrifice of the First Army's soldiers.

Although everyone present had their own thoughts, most of them had fought on the Star Beast battlefield. They all knew how precious people with special abilities were and how difficult it was to train a team that could kill star beasts. However, the First Army had sacrificed nearly 30,000 people. This was a huge loss not only for the First Army, but also for the Federation.

But these people have no remorse at all, they deserve to die.

The man sitting in the third seat on the right slammed the table angrily and looked at Huo Yan with anger in his eyes, "Huo Yan, you must give everyone an explanation about this matter. Did you do it?"

This man is the general of the Second Legion, Wanjiang, a ninth-level psychic.

Huo Yan only supported his cheek with one finger, ignored Wan Jiang's questioning, and seemed a little uninterested.

"I've said before that if you want to convict me, Admiral Ming and Marshal Huo will have to produce more convincing evidence. Otherwise, based on just one person's testimony, I can still say that Admiral Ming, in order to clear himself of dereliction of duty, colluded with Marshal Huo, who was determined to kill me, and bribed this person to slander me."

"Bang! Huo Yan, you are talking nonsense."

Mingchang's face flushed. He didn't expect that Huo Yan would hit the nail on the head and directly point out his plan.

Huo Zhiyuan also looked pained, as if he was very heartbroken because of Huo Yan's misunderstanding, "Ah Yan, how could you think of me like this?"

Seeing the information transmitted from the computer again, Huo Yan was happy in his heart, but at the same time he was extremely disgusted with what was happening in front of him. He suddenly didn't want to stay here and get entangled with these people anymore.

With this time, he might as well go back and take Snowball out to play, and he can also watch someone's training under the guise of guidance.

Thinking of this, Huo Yan slowly sat up straight, and then the people at the scene noticed that the man who had been showing a lack of interest from the beginning suddenly changed his temperament.

A pair of eyes filled with ridicule swept across the people present, and then spoke:

"Admiral Ming, you may not know that for safety reasons, all our interactions with the First Army are recorded by satellite. Although the network was destroyed when the incident occurred, we saved these images before takeoff.

There are also monitoring devices installed in the control room of the protective shield in the Yonghen battlefield. Your people did not follow the instructions we handed over and raise the protective shield immediately after my legion left. Instead, they directly destroyed and dismantled the protective device.

Therefore, the current situation of your First Army is entirely caused by you.

If you had strictly followed the experience the Flame Army gained on the Eternal Scar battlefield, you wouldn't have sacrificed nearly 30,000 superpowered warriors. It was your arrogance that harmed so many people."

Ming Chang's eyes widened. "How is that possible? The Yonghen battlefield isn't covered by the star network, and the place was destroyed so thoroughly by the star beasts that there's no way any video footage could have been left."

(Add 2000 words to Chapter )

Seeing Mingchang's performance, everyone understood.

Huo Yan didn't give Ming Chang a chance to respond, but continued, "General Ming, the First Army's entry into the Yonghen battlefield was broadcast live on the Star Network. When the First Army was attacked by the Star Beasts, the people of the entire Federation were watching.

Huo Yan tapped the table with his fingers, making a crisp thud, as if it hit Mingchang directly in the heart.

First: “When the incident occurred, no senior general of the First Army was present at the scene, which was seriously inconsistent with the combat deployment regulations of the Yonghen battlefield.

Second: "On the Eternal Scar battlefield, soldiers with abilities below level five are strictly prohibited from approaching the border of the Star Beast battlefield without higher-level organization."

......

The First Army had violated battlefield regulations in more than one or two instances, and Huo Yan was in no mood to list them all.

He raised his hand and threw out the information prepared by Xiangnan. "As for all the evidence of the First Army's illegal operations, it's all here. Those present can check it out at their own discretion."

In addition, I have some good stuff here that I want to show to the Prime Minister and the Members of Parliament.

The next second, several chat screenshots and photos appeared on the large screen in the conference room. The man in the photos was Chu Yi, who had just appeared. In the picture, he was arm in arm with a young man, walking in and out together.

As soon as this photo came out, Huo Zhiyuan's face darkened again. Damn it, when did Chu Yi end up playing with Huo Qi, and so many photos of them were taken.

Everyone looked at the chat records again and found that they were indeed Chu Yi and Huo Qi.

Chu Yi: "Brother Qi, I don't want to go to the Yonghen battlefield. If I do this, I will die. Please find a way to save me."

Chu Yi: "Brother Qi, please go and talk to the master. I don't want to do this."

Huo Qi: "Why are you so cowardly? If there really wasn't someone suitable, I wouldn't let you go."

Chu Yi: "Brother Qi, please save me. If I do this, the military will hold me responsible. Even that madman Huo Yan won't let me live."

Huo Qi: "Tsk, I told you, everything has been arranged at home, nothing will really happen to you. Once Huo Yan is brought down, your good days are ahead."

Huo Zhiyuan's face became darker and darker. These people are more likely to cause trouble than to help!

After a moment of silence, the Prime Minister spoke first:

"Ahem, now it seems that the matter is very clear. Marshal Huo and General Ming, do you two have anything else to say?"

The Prime Minister changed his previous serious expression and looked at Mingchang and Huo Zhiyuan with a smile on his face.

Mingchang slumped in the chair, his face pale. On the day the incident happened, he knew that this trip was doomed. He had worked hard all his life and finally climbed to the position of general, but in the end he failed because of such a thing. How could he be willing to accept this?

At this moment, Huo Zhiyuan found him and said that he had a way to put the blame on Huo Yan.

He intuitively felt that it was impossible. After all, he knew very well in his heart that this incident was entirely caused by the negligence of the First Army.

But it was Huo Zhiyuan who came to him on his own initiative. He had heard a little about the affairs of Huo Zhiyuan and Huo Yan, the grandfather and grandson, over the years. He agreed to Huo Zhiyuan's proposal with a fluke mentality, but now it seems that he was just a villain in vain.

Who says it isn't true? If he directly admitted that it was his own arrogance and improper command that led to the failure, at least he could save some face. But now he has lost everything.

Seeing Mingchang had lost his fighting spirit, Huo Zhiyuan remained calm.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it seems that this matter is much more complicated than we thought. I just assumed it because Chu Yi's child is from Huo Yan's mother's family. I will give you and the parliament a satisfactory answer to this matter."

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, there are still many unresolved issues behind this matter. The most important thing right now is to select a new legion to deploy to the Eternal Scar battlefield and to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers of the First Army."

The person who spoke was none other than Old Man Lin. Originally, he was not supposed to accompany the Prime Minister to the meeting today, but Huo Zhiyuan informed him in advance. The two old fellows had wanted to cooperate with each other and take this opportunity to get rid of Huo Yan, but they didn't expect Huo Zhiyuan's people to be so useless. Not only did they fail to accomplish their task, but they also got caught with evidence.

But the marriage between Lin Xuanxuan and Huo Qi is already a foregone conclusion. Now the Lin family and the Huo family are tied to the same rope, and he must protect Huo Zhiyuan.

When Mr. Lin spoke, several members of parliament began to agree.

"Yes, Prime Minister..."

The matter had been almost resolved, and Huo Yan didn't want to sit here and waste time. He straightened his collar, stood up and looked at the Prime Minister, "Mr. Prime Minister, I feel a little unwell, I'm afraid I have to leave first."

"Major General Huo! This is a federal meeting. Are you sure you want to leave early?"

Before the Prime Minister spoke, a member of parliament behind Mr. Lin spoke first. There were also people present who were dissatisfied with Huo Yan's attitude, but they did not rush to speak out. Instead, they watched the development of the situation quietly.

The Prime Minister waved his hand and said, "Isn't it time for treatment? Major General Huo is a rare talent in the Federation. Please cooperate with the treatment and return to your post as soon as possible to serve the Federation."

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Huo Yan's image disappeared, leaving those who were about to propose temporarily abolishing Huo Yan's position as commander of the Flame Army staring blankly.

The Prime Minister, on the other hand, didn't care at all and signaled his secretary to move on to the next item.

Everyone now truly confirmed that the Prime Minister and Major General Huo seemed to have a close relationship.

Many people have begun to rethink in their hearts whether or not to go against Huo Yan.

Looking back now, Huo Yan's path to promotion seemed extremely difficult, but it was much easier than for most people.

Of course, his achievements are among the best in the Federation, and no one can dispute that.

Although there are not many outstanding young people like Huo Yan in the Federation, there are definitely some. However, no one can be like Huo Yan, who has reached the rank of major general at such a young age and established his own legion.

The Prime Minister must have been behind this, fanning the flames. Most people who figured this out regretted it in their hearts, regretting why they hadn't understood it before. If they had known that Huo Yan was the Prime Minister's man, how could they have openly made things difficult for Huo Yan? Maybe by establishing a good relationship with Huo Yan, their own children could also gain the Prime Minister's favor.
