Chapter 196 The Pearl Covered in Dust
In fact, Ye Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore. She had been enduring it since Ji Li left until now. If Ye Manwen was angry because of jealousy, then Ye Qingqing was almost crazy because her dignity and power were damaged.
She knew what her sister was planning, but she didn't care. Ji Li was indeed very eye-catching, but what was more attractive than Ji Li was the power and status behind him.
Among his peers, no one is more valuable than him.
She was confident that if Ji Li didn't even like her, he would not like anyone else.
Ye Qingqing was with Ji Li because she wanted to raise her power and status to a higher level. It wasn't just a simple love affair, she didn't care about that!
But now he was slapping himself in the face because of a loser, a gay man from a ruined family who rejected him time and time again.
How could she accept this?
Now it is even more hateful. He actually insulted the military rank that she was proud of and had fought for many times. It is simply unforgivable.
Ye Qingqing thought about this and said angrily, "Really? If General Ji really thinks so, then I have to ask you. In what way is your partner, who isn't even a military member, superior to a Class B commander?"
Ji Li seemed to be well prepared, a smile appeared on his handsome face:
"Thank you all for coming all the way to attend this exchange meeting. Let me introduce you to the other protagonist of this exchange meeting, Yan Qi. He is my partner and also a participant in the escape capsule incident. He was the one who operated the vehicle while I was injured and unconscious. I hope you can give him your guidance."
After saying that, he squeezed Yan Qi's wrist soothingly.
Ji Li didn't tell the whole truth because Yan Qi was still too young, and telling him everything wouldn't be a good thing. He knew Yan Qi wouldn't think much of it even if he didn't tell him, but he thought it was important.
Ji Li wants the person he likes to shine within a safe range, rather than being covered in dust.
Yan Qi, the first person at the center of the storm to respond, was still a bit shocked to hear this. But she quickly understood the beauty's intention. Not only did many people in the command circle believe in speaking with strength, but even in ordinary groups, those who were too weak were easily looked down upon.
Today's incident has become so big and spread so widely that the balance in everyone's mind will still tilt towards the Ye royal family.
Yan Qi turned off the screen, put away the electronic board, smiled slightly, and greeted the people around him openly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Qi, very happy to meet you all."
This made the commanders who were originally watching the show quietly unable to hold their breath. They all came from far away, with a desire for technology and a pursuit of ideals.
Everyone present had carefully watched the escape videotape. The entire process was flawless and could be described as perfect.
If it weren't for his exceptional talent, this group of techies wouldn't have flocked to him. Inquiring glances and whispers echoed one after another, some even expressing a sense of cherishing his talent.
The first-year cadets participated in such a dangerous journey and successfully completed the handover mission.
It may not be onerous, but with this kind of mindset and level of completion, how can it not be considered talent? Even a screw has a qualitative difference between being on a toilet wall and on a spaceship.
"No wonder General Ji chose him. It's different when partners have gone through life and death together. He's so talented, so what if he's a little behind now because of his age?"
"That's right, level isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is cooperation and trust. In a dangerous place like the Exotic Beast Zone, even if the two people's levels are matched, they can't escape if they keep arguing."
"I'm a graduate of White Lion Academy. I was just about to say that this junior, though young, is top of his class!"
"First at White Lion Academy? That's incredible! It seems he didn't necessarily steal the deduction plan. With such talent and a life-and-death partner like General Ji, why would he steal?"
Galeazzo changed his sitting position on the second floor, lowered his eyes and thought, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Ye Qingqing listened to their increasingly outrageous remarks. How could that loser be compared to himself? He could no longer hold back and suddenly sneered:
"Heh, Ji Li, what exactly are you and your partner fighting against? Not only did your partner steal the Class A deduction plan and deny it, but now you want him to claim part of your credit to prove that he has the ability and didn't need to steal. Is this interesting?"
"Impersonation?!"
These two words swept through all the spectators around like a strong wind. The news was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm. The feeling of cherishing talent just now quickly faded from the commander's face.
Yes, there is a possibility of fraud.
After all, there is no evidence for what happened in the escape capsule, just like this incident.
Can’t you just say whatever you want?
If Ji Li wanted to clear Yan Qi's suspicion, then changing the plan would be too abominable.
The most hated thing in the conducting circle is plagiarism!
From the initial appreciation for talent to the current suspicion, it took only a moment. Some commanders even had a hint of disgust in their eyes.
With Ye Yuan's support and without Ye Manwen's obstruction, Ye Qingqing completely revealed himself and said to Yan Qi in an arrogant tone:
"Since Admiral Ji said you participated and completed the mission successfully, let me ask you something. How did you get started with the escape capsule so quickly when you didn't even have a rank? You have to know that's something only those of us at Rank B and above can access, and even the most basic familiarity takes a day. So, how did you complete the mission during those two days and one night of escape?"
Ye Qingqing's point of view seemed to have enlightened them, and there was another uproar.
"Your Highness Ye is right. I hadn't even thought of this!"
"That's right! I haven't even used the escape capsule many times myself, so I actually believed that a first-year student could use it so easily. I'm crazy."
Almost all the commanders on the scene leaned towards Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing got their support and seemed to be calmer. He said to Yan Qi with a smile:
"Young man, if you don't have any evidence, then leave immediately. Everyone is being so polite to you because you're relatively young. I know you've always had a bad reputation in school, but I didn't expect you to be so corrupt in the army. This isn't the place for you. I advise you to go back to where you came from, otherwise you'll end up losing face."
When Ji Li heard these words, his expression darkened completely, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. The evidence of the escape capsule had been prepared long ago, so how could he tolerate others pointing fingers at Yan Qi?
