The Tang Family’s Seven Os Chapter 107 - TTFSO Chapter 107

Chapter 107 - TTFSO Chapter 107

The search for the spy is going according to plan but after a few days, nothing has been found. As the date for the attack on the Star Pirates drew nearer and nearer, there is still no progress. The folds between Song XiaoBai’s brows couldn’t help getting deeper and deeper and Tang Wu Yuan began to suspect, could they thought too much? Maybe there was no spy at all?
The days flew by and at the blink of an eye, tomorrow it was time to attack the Star Pirates. Except for a few people insiders, everyone else was ready for battle.
Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan were sitting in the office thinking about countermeasures when there was suddenly a knock on the office door.
Sheng Lian walked in and smiled slightly when he saw Tang Wu Yuan, “Yo, what a coincidence, Commander Tang is here too.”
Tang Wu Yuan hooked his lips, too lazy to be perfunctory, so he didn’t say anything.
Sheng Lian sat down on the seat next to Tang Wu Yuan and looked across at Song Xiao Bai who was sitting at his desk and said: “His Majesty has asked me to wish you a successful weekday expedition to eliminate the interstellar pirates.”
Song Xiao Bai’s brows knitted up, frowning at him, “His Majesty knows about this?”
“En.” Sheng Lian nodded and smiled, “I told His Majesty, you have fought heroically against the Star Pirates, you have worked hard and deserve to be rewarded, I have asked for a reward for you, His Majesty has said that I am to represent him and personally see you off tomorrow. His Majesty has also promised that he will reward everyone again when you have successfully triumphed.”
When Tang Wu Yuan looked at the smile on his face, he wanted to go up to him and beat him up.
He didn’t say anything when he should, but when he shouldn’t, he said it diligently, why did he come out and join the excitement at this time?
Song Xiao Bai wanted to catch the spy this time, in order to maintain confidentiality, there were very few people who knew the secret. If the spy was caught, he could tell the truth, and if not, he could find a reason to postpone the attack on the Star Pirates and then make other plans.
But now that the emperor knows about it and has sent Sheng Lian to represent him, it’s a bit of a dilemma. If Song Xiao Bai doesn’t attack the Star Pirates tomorrow, he will be deceiving the Emperor. Although the Empire emphasises democracy now, the Emperor’s power is not big and his hand can’t be inserted into the army, but he is still the Emperor of the Empire, and offence or deceit cannot be tolerated.
The corners of Sheng Lian’s mouth curved upwards and he asked with a low smile: “Why don’t you guys look too happy?”
Tang Wu Yuan glared at him, I’ll be happy if you let me kick you.
Song Xiao Bai’s black and white eyes stared at Sheng Lian, his voice not happy or angry, “How could it be? I will personally thank His Majesty when I have time.”
Tang Wu Yuan’s mouth also blossomed into a perfect smile as his voice said quietly: “We can’t be happy enough, we really have to thank you, Third Prince.”
Sheng Lian smiled, “There is no need to be so polite, I did what I should have done, all for the good of the Empire.”
Tang Wu Yuan looked at his hateful smiling face and couldn’t help but think, why does everyone look good when they smile, but only this Sheng Lian makes people want to hit him so much every time he smiles?
Sheng Lian felt Tang Wu Yuan’s gradually deepening gaze and felt a chill run through his body, he moved uncomfortably and asked: “What is Commander Tang looking at me for?”
“To see how beautiful you are.” Tang Wu Yuan replied without thinking, “As beautiful as a white lotus1So the lian in Shèng Lián’s (盛连) name is homonymous with the lian in white lotus (白莲花 bái lián huā).”
The smile on Sheng Lian’s face instantly disappeared and his eyes immediately sank, he knew that there were often people who laughed behind his back about his name being ‘prosperous white lotus2盛世白莲 (shèng shì bái lián): prosperous white lotus‘, but ever since he broke the leg of a person who called him ‘prosperous white lotus’ and put him in hospital, no one dared to say that about him, only this Tang Wu Yuan dared to provoke him in such a blatant manner, unfortunately he could not send Tang Wu Yuan to the hospital with a broken leg.
Sheng Lian sneered: “Commander Tang has a very special way of complimenting people.”
Tang Wu Yuan smiled, “So-so.”
Sheng Lian’s gaze was cold, his voice didn’t fluctuate, “I’m really embarrassed to say that I look beautiful in front of Commander Tang, Commander, you look are the one who is truly gorgeous.”
Sheng Lian looked at Tang Wu Yuan’s bright face, the corners of his mouth split into a nasty smile, “You look even more beautiful than Omegas, most suitable to be like an Omega, living honestly in the back of the house, serving men and relying on Alpha and Beta for a living…… ”
“You wait a minute.” Tang Wu Yuan interrupted him, his fingers not moving to turn on the recording mode of the Intelligent Brain, then said with a cold smile: “What did you just say? Say it again if you have the skill.”
Thinking he was angered by himself, Sheng Lian smiled even wider and said word for word: “I said you should be like Omega, don’t come out to work, wait honestly in the back of the house every day, depend on Alpha and Beta for a living, and your daily task is to serve men, pleasure men, and give birth to children for men with your legs wide open. ”
His words could be said to have carried a serious element of insult.
“Oh……” Tang Wu Yuan dragged his voice and smiled leisurely, his fingers sharply turned off the recording, not only is he not angry, be he leisurely looked at Sheng Lian, seemingly smiling.
Sheng Lian looked at Tang Wu Yuan’s face in which joy and anger could not be distinguished, and felt in his heart that Tang Wu Yuan is so angry that he could not speak, but because of his noble status, he did not dare to attack. So he thought, and the expression on his face couldn’t help but become more flamboyant, he looked at Tang Wu Yuan arrogantly, raising his chin haughtily.
Song Xiao Bai, who had been silent suddenly spoke, his voice deep and cold, every word seeming to carry a chill: “According to the Third Prince, Madam Zhen Wei must live in the Lan Palace every day, waiting to serve His Majesty?”
Tang Wu Yuan couldn’t hold back a giggle at his words, Madam Zhen Wei was Sheng Lian’s mother, but the Lan Palace was where the Imperial Emperor’s spouse lived, and naturally the person living there was the Empress in name only, not Sheng Lian’s mother, a mistress who didn’t even have a name.
Although the current emperor doted on Sheng Lian, the cabinet ministers and those in the imperial family did not agree with Sheng Lian’s status. The current empress was from a noble background and although her mother’s family had waned in power some years ago, Sheng Lian’s mother was still no match for her.
Sheng Lian has always wanted to write his name into the royal family tree for years but he has never had a chance. The existence of the Lan Palace was a reminder of his status and the biggest obstacle to his entry into the royal family tree.
Song Xiao Bai’s words could be said to have hit the nail on the head, instantly poking at Sheng Lian’s sore spot.
Sheng Lian’s face suddenly changed and he stood up, slapping the table in anger, his eyes seeming to burst into flames as he stared at Song Xiao Bai, but he was unable to say anything to refute it.
Song Xiao Bai didn’t blatantly scold him, but in reality he was accusing him until he had cuts and bruises all over his body.
Sheng Lian narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down. He stood up straight and looked at Tang Wu Yuan and then at Song Xiao Bai, then shook his collar, sneered and turned to go out, slamming the door behind him.
He had always known how to hold back, otherwise he wouldn’t have been recognised by the emperor as an illegitimate son and have the status he has today. The more a person is like him, the more difficult they are to deal with, like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows spitting red letters, spying on their enemies and looking for the right moment to bite them.
Tang Wu Yuan looked at the door that opened and closed again, turning back to Song Xiao Bai with a raised eyebrow, “Aren’t you afraid that he will retaliate against you?”
“As long as I’m in the military, he can’t do anything to me.”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded gently, this was true, because of Song Xiao Bai’s father’s relationship, as long as Song Xiao Bai did not kill, commit arson or betray the Empire, no one could indeed touch Song Xiao Bai.
Tang Wu Yuan lifted his chin at him, “Even if you speak up for me, I won’t be grateful to you.”
Song Xiao Bai laughed lightly: “Don’t flatter yourself, it’s not like I’m doing it for you, I’m just not used to seeing Sheng Lian insulting Omegas like that.”
Tang Wu Yuan snorted lightly, it’s best if Song Xiao Bai wasn’t venting on his behalf, he didn’t want to accept kindness from his nemesis.
He took out his Intelligent Brain and pressed it a few times.
“What are you doing?” Song Xiao Bai asked.
Tang Wu Yuan’s hands kept moving and without looking up, he said: “Sending the recording from earlier to my younger brother.”
“You recorded the audio?” Song Xiao Bai froze for a moment, then asked, “What are you sending it to your brother for?”
Tang Wu Yuan looked at the alert that had been sent, put away his Intelligent Brain, curled his lips into a faint smile, and looked up to Song Xiao Bai, “I once heard my brother say that his classmate is Sheng Lian’s older brother, Sheng Cen.”
Sheng Lian’s older brother, who was also the rightful heir to the Empire, the Empress’s own son, and even more so, Sheng Lian’s greatest enemy.
Now the Empire advocated ABO civil rights equality, especially for the Omegas who often marched in protest. Now that medical technology was so advanced that barrier patches and inhibitors were good enough to protect the Omegas normal life, the Omegas demanded that they could have the same equal job opportunities as the Alphas and Betas.
Sheng Lian, as a prince of the Empire, had just made remarks that were full of discrimination against the Omegas, completely treating them as tools for procreation without the slightest respect, and even full of insults. The Omega Association would not sit idly by and do nothing about this matter, especially when this evidence fell into the hands of Sheng Lian’s enemies.
By doing so, Tang Wu Yuan could be said to have vented for all the Omegas.
Song Xiao Bai understood and couldn’t help but smile a little. Like Tang Wu Yuan, he didn’t like this Third Prince. Obviously, compared to the Third Prince, the Empress’ son was more suitable for the position of heir to the Empire compared, so he didn’t ask more questions, he just said: “So you have a younger brother.”
Tang Wu Yuan just nodded a little, thinking that I don’t have one younger brother, but two, and I even still have four older brothers, but of course he naturally couldn’t say these things, especially not to his nemesis.
The Empire emphasises having fewer and better children, so there are very few families with seven children in the family. Back then the Tang family having seven sons had made the news, if people knew he had six brothers, they would be able to guess his identity almost instantly. Previously when Tang San Yuan’s identity was exposed, the reporters dug up all the identities of their brothers, luckily they did not find his information or his identity, it was considered a scare.
His mobile phone rang once, it was a reply from Tang Qi Yuan after receiving the recording: “I received it, Fifth Brother, it is very wrong to record such behaviour secretly, according to moral, rational and bottom line analysis……”
Tang Qi Yuan wrote a long paragraph about the dangers of secret recording, Tang Wu Yuan skimmed straight through and flipped to the end, “……But what the Third Prince said was too much, his mistakes is a bit bigger and should be punished, so I have forwarded the recording to Sheng Cen as you said, he asked me to thank on his behalf you, saying that he will thank you in person if he has the chance.”
Tang Wu Yuan hooked his lips and put away his Intelligent Brain with satisfaction. Sheng Lian’s matter can be ignored for the time being, he raised his head and asked Song Xiao Bai, “What about tomorrow’s roundup of Star Pirates? Should we really take the risk of attacking?”
Song Xiao Bai shook his head slightly as he propped his hand on his chin, “I haven’t thought of a way yet.”
Tang Wu Yuan looked down and thought about it, his fingers unconsciously poking at his soft face, poke by poke, like he was touching a soft, bouncy jelly.
Song Xiao Bai inadvertently looked up and saw his movements, suddenly feeling his fingers itch a little, he coughed lowly and withdrew his gaze.
Tang Wu Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.
Song Xiao Bai looked at him, “You’ve thought of a way?”
Tang Wu Yuan smiled and lightly raised his jaw, “I just think that when there is no solution, the simplest method is often the best to use.”1So the lian in Shèng Lián’s (盛连) name is homonymous with the lian in white lotus (白莲花 bái lián huā)2盛世白莲 (shèng shì bái lián): prosperous white lotus
