Li Nuo hurried to the Marshal's office and saw the meeting room of the Supreme Council of Congress on the screen.

The main seat at the back of the huge round table council hall was the emperor's throne. This time the emperor did not send his special envoy, so the throne remained empty.

The avatars of 20 key MPs have been cast in their respective positions.

Chizhou's figure represented the marshal and sat at the top of the round table.

Speaker Chris presided over the meeting, sitting to Chizhou's left. Mu Chuanyang, the head of the Mu family, was absent, but it was the eldest daughter of the Mu family who was present. The head of the Li family did come, but seemed a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, and Members of Parliament, this meeting is being convened by the current Member, His Excellency Mu Chuanyang, to discuss the removal of Councillor Li Minde from his position, the repossession of all ownership, use, and management rights of the 175 Li family territories involved, and the investigation of Li Chenghao's responsibility for the unauthorized deployment of troops and the massacre of civilians. According to Article 25 of Volume , Chapter of the Charter, this motion meets the requirements for parliamentary discussion. The meeting now begins."

Chris's secretary, the director of the Parliamentary Secretariat, read out the main agenda of the parliament.

For a moment, the conference hall fell silent. Although everyone had come prepared, it was quite unusual to bring up the issue of dividing up the Li family so openly in a formal meeting.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Marshal is well."

Mu Xingchen was dressed in her white Air Force uniform today, her long chestnut-brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail, exuding an imposing presence. She slowly stood up and saluted toward the Emperor and Chizhou. She then placed her hands on the table, fingers intertwined, and slowly sat down, her gaze fixed on Patriarch Li.

"Minister Li, according to Article 2230 of Chapter of the Imperial Territory Star Law, when a member of Congress commits serious negligence, he or she must be removed from office and the relevant personnel must be detained. Then, based on the specific circumstances of the case, the Imperial Ministry of Justice will preside over the trial and decide whether to impose relevant penalties or pursue criminal responsibility. Now that the case is clear and public opinion is boiling, as a senior member of Congress and a loyal subject of the Empire, you should know what to do for His Majesty the Emperor."

"Heh." Patriarch Li held the armrest, moved his body contemptuously, changed himself into a comfortable sitting position, and chuckled.

"Is Patriarch Mu in trouble? He himself proposed a meeting, and yet he invited a junior who only knows how to fight on the battlefield to attend. That's not convincing enough."

Mu Xingchen remained unmoved by Patriarch Li's disdain. Instead, he glanced around at the group of old foxes still watching and continued,

"My father is deeply saddened by Mother's death and deeply ashamed of his inability to properly care for the Duchess. He has been concentrating on investigating this matter. He is determined to find the murderer, bring justice to Mother, and give an explanation to His Majesty.

Not only that, our Mu family will also establish a foundation in my mother's name to develop female security products, hoping to contribute to the development of the empire. Of course, if you also have this wish, our Mu family welcomes and expresses gratitude."

The expressions of the people in and outside the conference room were very colorful.

Li Minde's face turned dark in an instant, and the anger between his brows could not be hidden.

After a rustling sound, Chizhou spoke.

"Captain Mu, I am here on behalf of the Marshal, and in his personal capacity, to support the foundation. The tentative plan is to use the income from one Fire Ink Star for 50 years, spread over three years. I hope the Mu family can persevere in this endeavor. I believe the Empire and its people will not forget your original intention."

Chizhou adjusted his glasses and looked at Mu Xingchen with a gentle expression.

Now, even those who didn't want to give the Mu family face couldn't escape. They had to follow this wave even if they didn't want to.

The scene was a bit lively for a while. Two hundred million yuan for one family, a piece of land for another, but it wasn't much. After all, everyone knew it was just to show the Li family their strength.

At this point, Li Minde no longer needed to pretend to be righteous and moral with these people and do things according to the rules.

"Chris, just because the Mu kid said the case was clear, does that mean it's clear? Li Chenghao was attacked at the scene, and Adjutant Wang took it upon himself to bomb civilians. He's responsible for poor command and lax leadership.

But how can one explain the fact that a rebel leader actually possessed the magnetic guide of the Liuyun Energy Cannon, which was eliminated by the Imperial Military Department in the Yunxie Galaxy just last year?

Was the gate to the Confidentiality Department of the Mu family's Ministry of Science and Technology demolished? Or was the Wang family embezzling funds from the Energy Processing Center? Or is there a traitor in the Sixth Army Corps, and can your Yuan family be held responsible?

All of you, stop hiding behind. If we're going to investigate, leave no one behind!"

Li Minde was furious and slammed the table. He threw something that was burnt black, but still vaguely visible, onto the round table.

The whole audience was in an uproar when these words were spoken!

This thing was like a bomb, bombing everyone. After a scan, each family obtained the relevant information.

Mu Xingchen obviously hadn't expected the Li family to be so capable. He sat up straight and looked at the object.

Immediately, the projections of all the participants went haywire: some were calling for their secretaries, some were asked to mute their microphones, some were getting up to use the restroom.

Several companies that were named were frightened on the spot and almost fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, the Ministry of Science and Technology's Confidentiality Department has always maintained the strictest security. Not only would the entire magnetic guide of the energy cannon be lost, but even a single quantum micro-block inside wouldn't be able to escape. Please grant Your Majesty's approval for a thorough investigation of this matter. We at the Confidentiality Department will never tolerate wanton slander!"

The Director of the Ministry of Science and Technology's Confidentiality Department was not eligible to attend this meeting, but he was Viscount Frank's nephew. If this were true, not only would the Ministry of Science and Technology be at risk, His Majesty could even sacrifice the Frank family to the gods!

The Energy Waste Treatment Center was the worst hit. Although the Wang family held a prestigious position, every family was eager to profit from it.

Frank dared to swear that he had nothing to do with it, but he didn't dare. He had really sold all kinds of scrap over the years.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Marshal, how could an obsolete product be so powerful? Could it be that Lieutenant Li's Whale-class weapon couldn't withstand a piece of junk? There must be something fishy going on! Could it be that Patriarch Li is using this to exonerate himself?"

Wang Duanchao is old, and he has been quietly operating in such a seemingly low-status but lucrative place for many years. How could he just surrender so easily?

The head of the Shen family, sitting next to him, was desperately trying to hide himself. Although he hadn't been mentioned earlier, his family held the lion's share of the responsibility for the Ministry of Ecology and Energy. If an investigation were to begin, he would be held jointly responsible.

At this moment, the head of the Shen family secretly glanced at Chizhou, and Chizhou happened to look at him with half-closed eyes.

No, he didn't know about these things. He definitely didn't send his niece there as a precaution. Absolutely not!

The head of the Shen family was shaking like a rattle in his head, but he sat there motionless, not even daring to twitch his eyes.

"The Sixth Legion's performance in several battles has indeed been poor."

Chizhou spoke without hesitation, tapping the table with his slender fingers.

He was the most relaxed person in the room. As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole place fell silent.
