Chapter 140 The Power from the Bottom

Have you heard about Marshal Chu?

"I've vaguely heard rumors that he's not in good health and has fallen into a coma."

"Think about it carefully, think about it deeply. Let me give you a hint: recently, the Ministry of State Security has been very active, and many people have been summoned for questioning."

Upon hearing this news, the other attendees at the reunion widened their eyes, exchanged glances, and then dropped the topic.

Melina gripped the wine glass tightly, then quickly relaxed her hand.

Her mentor across from her smiled and said, "Congratulations, Melina. Your performance in the Sea Star incident was very responsible. The Third Star Ring Government has decided to transfer you to the Education Bureau to serve as the Director of the Admissions Office."

Moving from the fourth star ring to the third star ring is considered a promotion.

Melina wore an impeccable smile: "Thanks to the teachers' support, without your efforts, I would have had a hard time advancing to the next level."

"Haha, we're all from the Political Science Department, we're on the same side, we should help each other out."

Melina pretended not to care and asked, "What's this about Marshal Chu they're talking about?"

The teacher glanced at Melina with a half-smile, then lowered her voice: "Lin Xiaohe poisoned Marshal Chu, and the Security Department is investigating the organization behind it. I remember Weasley joined a new party?"

He said meaningfully, "Young people always have their own ideas, but while they can have fun, they still need to consider the future and prospects when making important decisions."

Melina raised her glass: "You're right."

The Second Star Ring Political College Alumni Reunion didn't end until late at night.

Melina leaned against the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the neon lights outside.

Should we tell Weasley about this?

Melina closed her eyes with a headache, her mind filled with images of the singer Hai, and she felt as if two little people were fighting inside her.

One person said, "Melina, you've finally climbed to the third star ring, and so many eyes are watching you. Are you really going to give up your political career for Lin Xiaohe?"

Another voice says, "Do you still remember your original aspirations when you entered politics? Are you going to remain silent in the face of injustice?"

Melina slammed her fist on the glass window in frustration.

A figure appeared on the glass, its eyes seemingly containing two flames, filled with resentment.

Melina looked at her reflection in the windowpane, paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

She dialed Weasley's number.

Weasley had dark circles under his eyes, but his voice was cheerful, full of energy and enthusiasm: "Mom, our Starwright Party has become the second ruling party on Wasteland! We have half of the seats in the Wasteland Parliament."

He excitedly spoke of his plans for the wasteland planet: "The taxes on farmers on the wasteland planet are too high. Our Xinghe Party proposes the 'Graded Agricultural Tax Reduction Act,' which reduces or exempts corresponding agricultural taxes based on land grade. The lower the land grade, the more taxes will be reduced."

"Currently, we have secured the support of several members of parliament. This plan should pass with a two-thirds majority vote in next month's parliamentary session."

Weasley's eyes seemed to hold a galaxy; you could see him shining even through the screen.

"Mom, back then, the Party Leader's family went into debt of tens of thousands of dollars to go to school. If it weren't for the special admission by the Central Military Academy, the Party Leader's family would probably have gone bankrupt. Therefore, our Xinghe Party has decided to donate 50 million Xing coins to establish the Xinghe Education Fund to help poor students go to school."

Weasley's lips curled up in a happy smile.

He feels more accomplished than piloting a mecha, being able to do something practical and help those in need.

"Mom, what do you think of our performance? Haha, I'm very confident that under the leadership of the party leader, our Xinghe Party will become the third largest ruling party sooner or later!"

Melina looked intently at Weasley, her voice tinged with sorrow, and said, "Weasley, I have some bad news to tell you." Weasley's smile froze on his face, and his expression gradually became serious.

Melina: "Lin Xiaohe is suspected of poisoning Marshal Chu and is currently under investigation by the Ministry of State Security. I have inside information that she will most likely be convicted of treason."

Melina's voice was calm but tinged with coldness: "Anyone who gets targeted by the Security Department never ends well. She is the leader of the Xinghe Party, and if she falls, the Xinghe Party will definitely be implicated."

"Weasley, you have two choices: leave the Star Harvest Party or disband the Star Harvest Party."

Weasley's smile faded, and he said firmly, "No, there is a third option."

"Ok?"

"Rescue the party leader and get justice for her! I absolutely refuse to believe that the party leader would betray the Federation and murder Marshal Chu!"

Melina stared at the video that had been disconnected, and after a moment of stunned silence, she chuckled softly.

As expected, Weasley will choose a path that, though difficult, is one he can be true to.

Melina took a deep breath, rubbed her hands together, and got to work again!

……

After hanging up the phone, Weasley hurriedly notified the members of the Star Harvest Party.

The naive young master, who had just joined the Xinghe Party, rushed to his father: "Dad, Lin Xiaohe has been bullied again! She is Captain Lin from our Sixth Star Ring. Bullying her is bullying our Sixth Star Ring military!"

Yao Siyuan finally got a few days off and was just about to spend some quality time with his wife when his unlucky son interrupted him.

"Lin Xiaohe is a student at the Central Military Academy, and Cassian will protect her."

The naive young master jumped up and down in a panic: "What are you protecting? It's the security department causing her trouble!"

The Ministry of State Security?!

Yao Siyuan jumped up and made several phone calls. He vaguely learned that Lin Xiaohe had poisoned Marshal Chu and had been detained by the Ministry of State Security.

But who would believe that?!
Marshal Chu values ​​Lin Xiaohe so much; she's the only student in the Agricultural Department. Even if Lin Xiaohe's mental strength is only 1, Marshal Chu's connections alone are enough to guarantee her a lifetime of wealth and honor.

Why would Lin Xiaohe poison Marshal Chu? It makes no sense at all!

Yao Siyuan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed deeply.

The naive and innocent young master asked anxiously, "Dad, what should we do?"

Yao Siyuan couldn't resist taking out the e-cigarette he had painstakingly hidden and taking a deep drag: "The power of the Ministry of Security is beyond your imagination. We, the Sixth Star Ring, are completely powerless in front of them."

The Federation can abandon the entire Fourth Star Ring because of an unknown attack. The Sixth Star Ring is neglected and ignored; the Security Department treats them like dirt, dismissing them without a second thought.

Thinking about how the federal government and Congress had been putting increasing pressure on the military over the years, to the point where the two sides were almost at the point of breaking off relations, Yao Siyuan gritted his teeth and called Song Wen, the commander of the Fourth Star Ring Military Region.

The two whispered to each other for a long time, until late at night.
On the other hand, the Xinghe Party also launched a media offensive.

Thanks to their heavy investment in Lin Xiaohe and the party's ample funding, they quickly stirred up a wave of public opinion in the fourth, fifth, and sixth star rings.

[Ordinary hero Lin Xiaohe is framed and mysteriously disappears]

How difficult is it to break through class barriers? Is it due to a lack of ability, or are these gaps artificially created?

[Shocking! Who is blatantly trampling on the law, fairness, and justice?]
