Part 4
After doing all this, Ning Yunyi sent a message to Young Master Bai.
Letting him bring the Elias brothers over for lunch after noon.
Young Master Bai replied almost instantly, even adding a heart at the end.
Ning Yunyi shook his head with a smile. Just as he closed the wristband, Young Master Bai sent another one.
[Young Master Bai: Holy crap! Uncle, look at the explosive news on the Star Network!]
Ning Yunyi was puzzled, opened the Star Network, and at the same time, a message occupying almost half of the front page appeared before his eyes.
Ning Yunyi frowned and froze there, obviously not expecting this situation.
[Shocking! Marshal Zong suspected missing for days, feared related to severe injury in battle a year ago triggering spiritual rampage!]
Ning Yunyi’s movements were too strange. The big cat playing with the little meow cub not far away looked over in unison.
The two rushed over quickly.
The little meow cub couldn’t read, only looking at the displayed projection, not recognizing a single word.
The big cat beside him saw the explosive hot headline, its beast eyes narrowed into solemn vertical pupils.
Its severe injury unhealed triggering spiritual rampage was only known to high-level military officials. Leaking at this time, and so detailed, was probably a pre-warning from above for announcing its death later.
Was this confirming it had been missing for so long and couldn’t survive before exposing it?
Thinking of what Ning Zhanfeng said yesterday, the big cat looked at Ning Yunyi.
Ning Yunyi frowned at this headline, clicked in, and immediately revealed the poster’s shocked main post.
[Poster: Heavens, when I knew this news, I felt bad all over. How could it be? Isn’t Marshal Zong less than a hundred years old? How could he be gone at this time? His spiritual power is so strong, how could he be severely injured?]
The replies below were fast. Because it involved Marshal Zong, a high building was built quickly.
Doubts mixed with disbelief, some even thought the poster was deliberately using this as a gimmick to attract attention.
Soon clicked into the posting account ID, saw the certification and fell silent.
The poster was actually the editor-in-chief of Star Network Media.
This editor-in-chief’s level was very high, one of the earliest accounts.
He only posted a few posts, many years ago, each one absolutely true.
The voices that questioned before were all dumbfounded.
[How could it be like this? Seeing it was the Star Network editor-in-chief, the last remnant hope was gone. Heavens, that’s Marshal Zong!]
[The editor-in-chief only said suspected missing, didn’t say really… Don’t curse Marshal Zong like this.]
[The one in front doesn’t understand. This kind of news is usually hidden. Now suddenly exposed, and by the editor-in-chief personally, then nine out of ten… there is already definite news, just the body hasn’t been found, but likely the spiritual rampage is severe. Plus Marshal Zong’s spiritual power is unmatched in the entire interstellar, which also means existing healers simply can’t suppress it.]
[Doesn’t this mean danger and ability coexist?]
[But so young… Star people are supposed to live three hundred years.]
[Then isn’t the entire military high command going to be reshuffled?]
[Don’t mention the top, the First Star noble families are probably also going to reshuffle. That future heir of the Zong family, luck is too good. Originally probably had to wait a hundred years, who knew…]
Ning Yunyi read quickly, the frowned brows never loosened.
He wasn’t surprised by this Marshal Zong’s accident. In the book, he seemed to have had an accident around this time.
But as long as no news was heard, he still felt there was hope. Now the news came, reminding him of the plot in the book.
Zong Ling was going to inherit the Zong family head position earlier than in the book?
Why was he so unhappy?
Mu Jiayi was the culprit who killed the original body. In the book, the other party had a good reputation outside and was known as a loving couple with Zong Ling.
The big cat felt nothing after reading the news speculating it had self-destructed from spiritual rampage. It found Ning Yunyi’s mood very wrong, seeming to dislike this news very much.
It followed Ning Yunyi’s gaze and found he was looking at the replies speculating Zong Ling was about to inherit the Zong family head position in advance.
The big cat was puzzled. Did he have an opinion on Zong Ling?
Or was he regretting that once Marshal Zong had an accident, it meant their last chance to see Professor Ning was gone.
On the other side, in Mu Jiayi’s villa.
He sat in the living room dazed looking at the news just exploded on the Star Network. He sat there numb all over.
His mood was complicated, fingers clicking the wristband trembling.
Eyes staring straight ahead, the emotion was dazed at first, then unbelievable, until finally a burst of rejoicing burst out from the bottom of his eyes.
He admired Marshal Zong. After all, in the entire First Star, the other party’s family background and personal charm were unmatched by others.
Even Zong Ling, without Marshal Zong, who knew him as a young noble master not outstanding in all aspects.
When he had to get engaged to Zong Ling due to that accident, he was half regretful and half lost.
But looking at this news now, he felt a burst of rejoicing.
Rejoicing he didn’t really succeed with Marshal Zong, otherwise wouldn’t he become a widower now?
As for Zong Ling whom he looked down on before, he leaped to become the next family head.
Not an heir, but a proper Zong family head.
Once he married over, that would be the mistress of the Zong family, one of the three major noble families.
His status instantly climbed several levels.
Zong Ling rubbed his aching eyebrows and came down to see his head-down look, a flash of displeasure in his eyes. “What are you doing sitting here?”
Mu Jiayi swayed, looking up again with eyes full of panic and sadness. “Ah Ling, something happened.”
Zong Ling didn’t care, went downstairs, poured a glass of water, and gulped it down. Mu Jiayi walked behind him at this time, voice sorrowful, hugging him from behind unexpectedly.
Zong Ling choked on the water, incredulous. “Are you sick?”
Mu Jiayi’s next sentence made Zong Ling freeze on the spot. “Ah Ling, Marshal Zong he… might have had an accident.”
All of Zong Ling’s expressions disappeared at that moment. It took him a long time to find his voice. “What did you say?”
How could it be? How could Little Uncle suddenly have an accident?
He lowered his head to open the closed wristband, immediately popping up countless messages. At the same time, his father’s call came again.
Concise words: “Return to the Zong family immediately.”
Before he hung up, Zong Ling hurriedly asked, “Father, they say Little Uncle had an accident. Is it true?”
Zong Second Uncle’s voice was cold and indistinguishable. “It’s true. Come back to prepare to discuss succeeding the family head position.”
Not giving him an answer, hung up directly.
Zong Ling was completely dumbfounded. Th-This isn’t good, right? Little Uncle hasn’t been confirmed to have an accident yet. Why discuss this directly?
If Little Uncle comes back, will he think I coveted this position for a long time?
Mu Jiayi’s eyes lit up on the side, voice softer. “Ah Ling, need me to accompany you?”
