Chapter 360: Military Court Compensation
Gu Junqing sensed a shift in the mood of Mei Chuanqi and the others, even feeling that they were hiding something from her. However, seeing that they were unwilling to say, she did not press further.
Song Wenwu deliberately stood in front of Lian Zeyang, turned his head to glance at Xiao Liuzi, and when he looked back, he met Lian Zeyang's fierce glare.
Song Wenwu gave him a slight smile, then walked out of the mansion gate with Wei Yijie and the others.
Wei Yijie put his arm around Song Wenwu's shoulder: "You're not really into that Xiao Liuzi, are you?"
Song Wenwu asked back: "What do you think?"
Wei Yijie raised an eyebrow: "I always felt he isn't your type, but you and Xiao Liuzi must have had something happen upstairs."
Song Wenwu chuckled lightly.
When he accompanied Xiao Liuzi upstairs to change clothes, he had only accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Liuzi's naked body. Afterwards, he pretended nothing happened and helped Xiao Liuzi button up his shirt. It was just that, yet he hadn't expected Xiao Liuzi to be so easily embarrassed, and it even caused others to let their imaginations run wild.
However, it also served to make Lian Zeyang wildly jealous.
Inside the mansion, Lian Zeyang hesitated for a long time before deciding to go upstairs to check on Xiao Liuzi.
Mei Chuanqi glanced at the figure going upstairs, curled his lips, and sat down beside Feng Jingteng.
Feng Jingteng pointed at the optical brain screen, smiling: "Now the entire Star Network is full of news about you; you're becoming quite a celebrity."
Mei Chuanqi glanced at the optical brain, and immediately, a news headline caught his eye: "Yang Changzheng's incident has been reported?"
"It was reported long ago." Feng Jingteng entered the news about Yang Changzheng: "In the comments below, some people say Yang Changzheng committed suicide to escape punishment, but most people say he was murdered, because why would someone bent on suicide specifically go to the suburbs to do it. I think by tomorrow, someone will come to investigate your great-uncle's matter."
Sure enough, early the next morning, someone from the Military Court Reception Department arrived at the Mei family residence, 'inviting' Mei Zhenqiu to the court for interrogation.
On the same day, the Military Court announced in military news the military penalties for He Jun, Xie Hao, and the others. Xie Hao and his group, because the circumstances of their false accusations against a comrade who had contributed to the planet had reached a very serious level, were not only expelled from the military but also sentenced to ten years in prison.
He Jun and the others, due to voluntarily admitting in court to framing Mei Chuanqi, had their sentences reduced by two years, but they were sent to serve time in the Black Prison.
As for Shi Xinghao, because the circumstances were relatively minor, he was sentenced to one year in prison, and likewise, he was also sent to serve his sentence in the Black Prison.
Just as Shi Xinghao was being taken away from the Mei family residence by the court personnel, Mei Chuanqi reminded him: "Going to the Black Prison, I can only guarantee that you'll come out alive, but I can't guarantee you won't be bullied."
Shi Xinghao smiled: "I know. After I get out of prison, you have to accept me into your squad."
He was very clear that after entering the Black Prison, if he wasn't bullied by others, it would actually make certain people target him and try by every means to take his life.
"Okay."
Mei Chuanqi watched Shi Xinghao get into the court's hover car, then leaned against Feng Jingteng: "I want to recruit the people from Z City into our unit."
Taking advantage of the current severe shortage of personnel in the unit, it was a good time to recruit a batch.
Feng Jingteng embraced him: "Thinking of training a squad of your own?"
"En."
"Then you need to be clear with them about the dangers of our unit's missions."
"I know."
Mei Chuanqi had some selfish motives for wanting to recruit people from Z City, but he would definitely consider their safety first. He could only recruit them if they volunteered, and moreover, they would need to pass strict assessments, because he had to be responsible for them.
"I'll go back to the room now and call Brother Xian and the others."
Just as Mei Chuanqi took two steps, Feng Jingteng's communicator rang. Seeing it was a call from his uncle, he raised an eyebrow, then answered the call: "Uncle."
Mei Chuanqi heard this, turned back to look at Feng Jingteng.
"I've been busy these past few days, and only found out today that Chuanqi's case was successfully overturned. Just tell Chuanqi congratulations for me." Gu Yuan said from the other end of the communicator.
Feng Jingteng's gaze darkened slightly: "I'll tell Chuanqi."
Such big news, only finding out now? How is that possible?
Gu Yuan asked: "Now that Chuanqi's case has been successfully overturned, aren't you planning a celebration for Chuanqi?"
"I called you yesterday, originally wanting to tell you about celebrating for Chuanqi, but I didn't expect your communicator to be off. So we didn't wait for you and celebrated the matter with a few close friends and relatives."
"I see." Gu Yuan sounded somewhat regretful, then smiled: "But that's okay. In a few days, when I'm free, I'll congratulate Chuanqi in person."
"Alright."
"Let's leave it at that then. I still have things to be busy with."
"En, contact you again when you're free."
Mei Chuanqi could tell from the conversation between Feng Jingteng and Gu Yuan that Feng Jingteng was being polite and distant with his uncle. He sighed, then went back to his room to call Yun Xian and the others.
Upon hearing that he could join the military, Yun Xian was of course very excited. However, after learning about the extreme danger of the military missions, and knowing that one could only officially become a soldier after reaching the field-grade officer level, he hesitated for a moment, then decided to think it over for a few days before giving a reply.
That same evening, because there was no evidence proving that Mei Zhenqiu had sent someone to kill Yang Changzheng, and Mei Zhenqiu repeatedly stated he didn't know Yang Changzheng was someone else who had undergone plastic surgery, Mei Zhenqiu was released.
However, from that day on, the Mei family became somewhat unsettled. Fights frequently broke out among the younger generation, leading to matters being brought before the elders.
This situation wasn't the worst of it. Most concerning was that some people in the military often disagreed and became quite unhappy, frequently requiring Mei Zhendong to step in and mediate.
Initially, no one thought much of it, but as time went on, people began to notice something amiss, and rumors spread that someone within the Mei family wanted to divide the family.
Moreover, it was unclear where reporters got the news about the Mei family potentially splitting up. They often camped out at the main gate of the Mei residence, ready to interview anyone they could catch.
Mei Chuanqi watched day after day as Mei Zhendong ran himself ragged trying to manage all the family problems. He genuinely wanted to help, but more than anything, he just wanted to get back to his unit. When it came to these exhausting family matters, he'd rather just wash his hands of them completely.
Unfortunately, he had to wait for the court's compensation notice. It wasn't until the fifteenth day after the trial that the compensation notice was delivered to him. At the same time, this compensation notice also had to be published on Star Network for everyone to see the fairness of the military court.
Back then, Mei Chuanqi was expelled from the military due to false accusations and was also sentenced to three years in prison.
However, because Feng Jingteng exchanged his military merits, Mei Chuanqi was able to be released two years early. This point had to be clearly explained to everyone before the correct compensation could be given.
Based on the number of years Mei Chuanqi was sentenced to and compensation for various losses, the Military Court first compensated him with 500,000 credit points and returned the military merits he had previously earned.
In other words, Mei Chuanqi, currently at the Major level, after receiving his rightful merits, was directly promoted to Colonel. Unfortunately, he was just a little short of merits to be promoted to Senior Colonel.
However, adding the merits Mei Chuanqi earned in the battle against the Zerg, he could immediately be promoted to the position of Major General. And very fortunately, on the Diluoya Planet, regardless of age, as long as one had the ability and the merits, one could advance.
After compensating Mei Chuanqi, it was Feng Jingteng's turn. Because Mei Chuanqi's early release was due to Feng Jingteng's contribution, the merits Feng Jingteng exchanged for Mei Chuanqi's early release needed to be returned.
Back then, Feng Jingteng originally had enough merits to be promoted to Major General. Because of Mei Chuanqi, he was immediately demoted from Major General to Senior Colonel, having a massive amount of merits deducted.
Now, with those merits returned to Feng Jingteng, he could be directly promoted to Lieutenant General.
Adding the merits from the battle on the Zerg planet, he would still be a little short of being promoted to General. He would need to continue earning merits in the future to reach that rank.
Seeing that it was Feng Jingteng who used a large number of merits to secure Mei Chuanqi's release, some people were moved, others envious. Everyone said that Mei Chuanqi finding such a loyal and devoted partner who treated him so well was a blessing earned in a previous life.
Seeing the comments about Feng Jingteng on Star Network, the smile never left Mei Chuanqi's face. He kissed the man who had always been by his side, again and again: "I always said my man is a good man."
Feng Jingteng smiled tenderly, enjoying his partner's kisses: "Now that the Military Court's compensation notice has been issued, it's time for us to return to the unit."
Mei Chuanqi nodded excitedly. Just as he was about to say something more, Mei Feichen called him to the study.
