Deliberate Mark

d responded politely, “Good day, Your Excellency.”

“Okay, I understand.
From now on, this kid will be in charge of the transaction, right?”

“That’s right.” Lu Yan nodded his head.

Gu Ang raised his eyebrows, hearing the keyword of the transaction.
Old thing, finally the old man caught a break.

“I don’t have any problem, just tell this kid not to delay my goods.” The strong man who was called “Lord Li” sounded a bit dissatisfied.
“I thought you two old men had finally figured it out and were ready to fully join the Federation, but I didn’t expect it to be such a trivial matter.”

Lu Yan put down his stance and hurriedly smiled, “Your Excellency, don’t worry, this communication line has been kept absolutely secret.
Even if we’re caught, we can’t be traced here.
When the time comes, just change the communication system again.”

“It’s never fully safe.
The next time I contact you, I would like to be heard directly from the Federation.
Don’t call me every day to waste my time.”

Lu Yan laughed bitterly for a moment and didn’t respond to the other party’s words.
Trading was one thing, surrendering was another, he wasn’t so courageous to give up the current high position directly.

The strong man snorted in disgust, “No gumption, it’s interesting to talk to that perverted kid.
By the way, how come he didn’t come this time?”

Lu Yan stammered, “ChangBai… ChangBai, he…”

The strong man instantly comprehended and didn’t pursue the question.
He sighed deeply after a long time, “Alas, that boy helped me a lot.
He played a big role in the fact that your Lu family and our Federation can get together.”

Lu Yan smiled awkwardly, “Yes, yes, yes, I hope to continue to contact you in the future.”

The strong man didn’t say anything more and hung up the communication device decisively.
The screen flashed for a moment and turned into a dark background.

Inside the study, the three looked at each other, a little confused—

The Federation, the Northwest Military Region base camp inside.
The burly man who just ended the communication called for the adjutant, “The cooperation with the Imperial Lu family is fully terminated, withdraw all our people one after another.”

“M-my lord? Why suddenly make such a decision?” The adjutant seems to be a bit confused.

The strong man coldly snorted, his expression was somewhat regretful, “That perverted child who could help us resist Ling JunHan died, the Lu family no longer has the value of continued cooperation.”

The adjutant’s voice trembled, “But the Lu family is at least the top family in the Empire, if we can successfully instigate them to defect, the general can definitely take great credit.”

“What do you know? Without Lu ChangBai, even if the current Lu family at the helm really wanted to mutiny, they would have been snuffed out directly in the cradle.
Take our feathers back, the current Lu family is no longer worth the sacrifice.” The strong man regained his indifference and gave the order decisively.

“As instructed, Lord Marshal.” The adjutant bowed slightly and headed out.

“If you were born in the Federation, how good would it be?” The strong man sat in the military tent and let out another long sigh.
He looked into the distance, his brow full of frustration—

After Gu Ang said goodbye to the two old things, he didn’t leave immediately.
When the lights in the study went out, he went in through the window again sharply and felt his way to Lu Yan’s safe.
He took the universal magnetic lock of the XuanBird and opened the box easily.
The information was varied and contained a number of trading channel documents.

Gu Ang rolled up the information and hid it in his clothes.
Carefully again, he put the safe back to its original place.
If it was just documents, Lu Yan could say it was slanderous forgery.
But the private contact with the Federal top brass just now, mentioning the deal, was enough to hammer all chances of life for the Lu family.

Gu Ang withdrew from the study and squeezed the device in his hand.
It was the XuanBird’s special invisible retention device, which had recorded the contact image just now as it was.
It was late at night, but Gu Ang was too excited to hold back.

After laying a line for almost a month, he finally caught the big fish of the Lu family.
He called Ye Fei and asked Bai SiNing to meet Lin XiuYong, and the four of them met at Bai SiNing’s house.
Bai SiNing was arguing that he was hungry and took all the ingredients out of the house and casually prepared a small hot pot.

Ye Fei whispered and asked him, “Done?”

Gu Ang nodded, “Yeah.”

“What are you two working on? Is it important to call us out so late?” Bai SiNing threw the shrimp slider into the pot and looked at the two of them with a bewildered expression.

Gu Ang stared at the mandarin duck pot, “Why is there clear soup?”

“What’s wrong with you two? How come you said you broke up?” Lin XiuYong opened his mouth at the same time.

The three of them weren’t on the same channel, each saying their own thing.

Gu Ang looked helpless, looked at Lin XiuYong, “You’re not our CP fan, so why are you so concerned about our love life?”

Lin XiuYong rubbed his brow, sitting with a dark face, and flung out reasons one by one, “First, I am a member of your Luminous CP fan group, who are you to say I’m not your fan? Second, if you two break up in private, even if it’s true, now make a fuss, do you know that our Empire is about to face a major crisis in the future? Finally, once you guys broke up, my job became twice as difficult, it’s too hard to monitor you guys.
Lord Qi Cang won’t send me double the funds.”

It was reasonable and irrefutable.
Gu Ang opened his mouth and chose to eat with his head down.

Bai SiNing stuffed a pill into his mouth and spoke vaguely, “Ye, brother Ang, you two have just made up.
So many misunderstandings have been cleared up, so why the break up?”

Gu Ang glanced at Ye Fei, wondering where to start.
As he was lost in thought, he was kissed by Ye Fei at the corner of his mouth.
It was just a second, like being pecked by a bird’s beak.

The man wiped the corner of his mouth and spoke lightly, “Any more questions?”

“Fuck, you made up?” Bai SiNing was even more excited than the person in question, dancing and howling, “So what’s the hidden agenda?”

That day Gu Ang made a hint to him and nothing more, he couldn’t guess the truth and almost lost sleep at night.

Gu Ang asked again in a low voice, “Is it okay to talk now?”

“I’ve got everything, so I can tell you.” Ye Fei gave him a definite answer.

“All this is a play that we both put on jointly with the Ye and Qin families.” Gu Ang briefly explained the whole plan to the two after a little thought.
The plan was so complicated that it took ten minutes of talking back and forth before it could be finished.
His mouth was dry and he poured a large mouthful of water into his mouth before concluding, “So Lu ChangJing’s marriage contract is a fake, Ye Fei and I, we were never separated, it was all an act.”

Lin XiuYong applauded slowly and grimly, “Bullish.”

Bai SiNing froze for a long time, finally sorting out the twists and turns in between, excited with hindsight, “Awesome, brother Ang!!! This way, not only did you remove a cancer for the Empire, but you also created a perfect opportunity to avenge your mother.”

Lin XiuYong was speechless, “So you two made a big fuss for half a day just to collect information about the Lu family’s treason?”

Gu Ang suddenly reacted and his expression froze, “You don’t mean to say—”

“I’m trying to say that Lu ChangBai hitched a ride with Zerg before, and I provided a lot of help in it.
I have a whole set of information about their Lu family’s betrayal of the human race here.
It’s convenient for Lord Qi Cang to find an opportunity to pull out this poisonous tumor in advance in the future.”

Lin XiuYong rubbed his fingertips, “Of course, you have the video information, so you can hammer them to death.”

Gu Ang: “Why did you not say that earlier?”

Lin XiuYong didn’t have the good grace to spit, “You didn’t ask, ah, I also talked to you two openly and honestly once before in vain.
You guys are good, you just ignored me.”

The tone was resentful, his expression was helpless.
The deep grievance in his heart was visible.

Gu Ang held forehead, tentatively asking, “You mean to say that Lord Qi Cang actually already knows?”

“Do I still need to tell you? The future Lu family betrayed the human race, do you think Lord Qi Cang will let them go?” Lin XiuYong was completely speechless.

Gu Ang caught the keyword, Qi Cang knew about the future.

That he obviously, also traveled back.

Lin XiuYong was still rambling with complaints, “Can you two focus on becoming stronger and not engage in those things? It’s easier to tell me about this stuff.
Two admirals, count me as begging you, you’re now shouldering the future hopes of the Empire, don’t waste your energy on such places.”

He was so angry that he felt the confession bureau had eaten for nothing.
After talking for half a day, the two still didn’t fully trust him.
They didn’t include him in their plans earlier, even with the two families tossing for so long.
Now they were prancing out of the enemy camp, only to show off.

Lin XiuYong said again, “I’m a spy, not a bad guy, you guys should wake up.”

Gu Ang felt the sultry gaze and his expression was a little uncomfortable.
He pulled Ye Fei’s wrist and thought about how to find a remedy.
Indeed when making the plan before, he completely forgot about this person Lin XiuYong.
In the end, the thinking hasn’t been fully transformed, subconsciously still had a wariness of him.

Ye Fei squeezed his palm and spoke blandly, “It’s not for nothing, with this time, the Ye family cleared a lot of internal moths and purged the top and bottom.
This matter is a double whammy.”

Lin XiuYong nodded and applauded again, “Okay, you have a point, I can’t tell you off.”

Gu Ang propped up his chin, “Yes, how can it be considered a waste of time? Besides, I have to get the evidence of my father’s involvement in it.
And, my dad is getting married to Lu Yan soon, and Ye Fei and I are getting married next month, so if we’re a little slow, not only the Gu family, but also the Ye family will be involved.” He urged, “So, no more delay, the verdict has to be given in these two days.”

“Yes, yes, you all have reasons, I’m convinced.” Lin XiuYong raised his hands in surrender, “Give me the stuff, I’ll give it to Lord Qi Cang tonight, so that this can be wrapped up sooner.”

Gu Ang handed over the video recorder and the information, “It really must be done as soon as possible, it can’t be delayed.”

“Got it, nagging.” Lin XiuYong put his things away and leisurely sipped his soup.

Bai SiNing’s ears perked up like antennae, catching a bunch of key words in the conspiracy, “Wait, you’re getting married next month?”

“Yes, get your wedding money ready, thanks.” Gu Ang didn’t even raise his eyes, stuffing his mouth with beef.
It was a relief to have this mess finally resolved.

“Then we must prepare a big gift.” Bai SiNing stomped his feet in excitement, “Are you getting married before the baby is born?”

Lin XiuYong held his soup bowl and looked at the several people in confusion, “What baby?”

“Ah, let it slip.” Bai SiNing slapped himself and carefully glanced at Gu Ang.
He hung his head and begged pitifully, “Brother Ang, I was wrong.
I’ve been holding it in for many days and tried my best.”

Gu Ang’s face didn’t change, “It’s okay, Lin XiuYong is not an outsider either.”

Lin XiuYong snorted coldly, “You know now that I’m not an outsider? So whose baby is it?”

Gu Ang rubbed his stomach and spoke in a cloudy voice, “I’m pregnant, so we’ll do the wedding before the baby is born.”

Lin XiuYong: “…” He froze for a few seconds before he suppressed his surprise and opened his mouth, “I saw you looking up the information on white peach oolong in the library before, but I didn’t think you weren’t an Alpha.
How the fuck did you cross back as an Omega?”

This thing was too shocking, so he let out a rare curse, and almost broke his voice.

Bai SiNing spit out his tongue, “I also think it’s amazing that brother Ang is so powerful and he’s an Omega.”

Lin XiuYong shook his head, “I have to go back and check the experimental data.
Where exactly did it go wrong?”

Gu Ang cocked his head to look at him, “I want to know too, let me know after checking.”

“So, since the information is done, when do you two plan to tell everyone?” Bai SiNing, as a CP fan, was anxious to heck.

Gu Ang smiled faintly and looked down to squeeze his fingers into Ye Fei’s palm, intertwining their ten fingers.
He whispered, “Soon.” 

Bai SiNing wasn’t the only one who was anxious, Gu Ang himself was also anxious to clean his name.
For most of the month, he and Ye Fei had been suffocating.

The next morning, Gu Ang and Ye Fei appeared at the entrance of the school, hand in hand.
The two of them were walking hand in hand on the boulevard, just like the time they publicly announced their relationship, generously and flashily.
Gu Ang exhaled slightly, feeling that even the air became sweet.
It was a great feeling to be able to appear in front of everyone in a big way.

He certainly knew the effect of this action.
Rumors went through a thousand mouths, he didn’t even need to open his mouth, gossip immediately spread.
As soon as the two showed up, the gossip board of the forum blew up directly and completely, just like a missile blast.

The photos of the two holding hands were secretly taken and uploaded, and everyone’s jaws dropped.

[Fuck, can they make up if they’re both wearing green hats? What’s your experience?]

[I can’t understand this story, but the colorful flags are flying outside, and the red flags at home will not fall down?]

[But Ye Fei has made another pregnant, can Gu Ang accept him having children?]

[Gu Ang is engaged to someone, yet nobody talks about him.]

[Chlorophyll and Fluorescent Green can wash and sleep, and people don’t care whether they are cuckolds or not.]

[This is really a melon seed eating show this year, and I have already supported it!]

[Maybe because this is a rich family, it’s actually a fancy game!]

[I just want to say, doesn’t Lu ChangJing feel cuckolded?]

The online chat was happy, in person, everyone was still restrained.
Seeing two people enter the classroom, the atmosphere was quiet for a second, so silent that it was eerie.
A breeze swept by and Gu Ang actually smiled at them.
Everyone was silent, afraid of being beaten.

Gu Ang entered the classroom under the gaze of a crowd of eyes, and again through the shocked expressions of everyone, sat down in his seat and blandly attended the class.

Sitting back at the same table with Ye Fei again, they had all kinds of intimacy without avoiding suspicion.
Even if the gossip was even more, Gu Ang didn’t care.
His mood today was good, not having to hear those vicious little mouths.
Even in between classes, he had a whim, and kissed Ye Fei’s face.

In short, with how high-profile he was, his mood was clearly very good! 

Bai SiNing witnessed everything and gave a thumbs up towards them, “It’s worthy of being my pink CP, it’s awesome.”

Gu Ang shrugged his shoulders, “Be yourself, fearless.”

He received a message from Lin XiuYong in the morning that the evidence had been handed over and everything was a foregone conclusion.
So they didn’t need to play the bloody drama of breaking up.
Of course, all the love of the show should be made up.
Ye Fei looked at his impetuous little actions and felt funny, as if he had realized another side of Gu Ang.
He was happy and went along with his actions.

After a day of classes, Gu Ang was ready to go back to the dormitory with Ye Fei.
Before he reached the entrance of the school building, he was stopped by a woman with a microphone and a camera behind her.
Gu Ang looked at the logo on the microphone and raised his eyebrows gently.
He smiled faintly at the gasping woman and pulled Ye Fei’s hand tighter, “Don’t rush, take it easy first.”

The woman finished panting by pressing her chest and straightened her messy hair again, signaling for the camera to turn on next to her, “Hello, Ye Fei, Gu Ang, I’m a reporter from Emperor Star Hot News, I’m live now and have some interview questions for you.”

Gu Ang thought to himself, They’re doing a live broadcast to capture his annoyed look, right? I’m tired of seeing these routines.
He raised the corner of his mouth in a gangly manner, “Ask.”

“Before, various news articles mentioned that your father announced that you and Lu ChangJing have been engaged, so now that you and Ye Fei are holding hands, is there a suspicion of cheating?” The woman asked sharply, almost leaving no room for error.

Gu Ang tilted his head and asked naively, “Live is it?”

The woman choked for a moment, “Yes, the network is broadcasting at the same time, and there are already a lot of people online now.”

She took a half step back and looked at the two tall teenagers in front of her, afraid that the other side would start a fire.
The reporter’s expression became complicated, showing apprehension and anticipation.
If they really caught Gu Ang beating someone up, the number of broadcasts would definitely soar.

Gu Ang smiled and took Ye Fei two steps toward the camera, letting his face fill the entire live screen.
He cleared his throat, and the words he was about to say had been rehearsed in his mind countless times.
It was the result of many nights of careful consideration and fearlessness of the storm that followed, “The news is false, I have nothing to do with Gu Shen, and I have never been engaged to Lu ChangJing.
Also, the Omega that went with Ye Fei for a maternity checkup was me.”
