to be a lowly concubine.So she only showed favor to my son, hoping he would help her escape her misery. The four young masters were rejected by the beauty and naturally felt resentful. Therefore, on...Wu Lianbo returned to his own private room and began communicating with the system:

"System, can you check if that piece of trash is dead"

No, he is still alive.

"That's great! His good luck belongs to me now, his future is mine."

Wu Lianbo muttered to himself.

"As long as you complete the tasks I assign to you, all of this can be achieved."

The system immediately encouraged.

"I know."

In the United Empire Center, Wu Yishan's brows were tightly furrowed as he listened to his subordinates' investigation results.

"General, the mansion's defense system automatically deactivated the moment the attack arrived. The weapons used to attack the General's Mansion were city defense beam cannons. Although there was only one, this beam cannon was double-barreled, clearly designed to completely destroy the mansion."

"Who activated the beam cannon"

“The attack command has been erased. After the incident, the mech squad immediately shut down the laser cannon and contacted the military's weapons engineers to dismantle the laser cannon and sever its connection to the defense grid, ensuring that such a situation wouldn't occur again while preserving as much data as possible.”

Military network maintenance personnel are checking system data, and the results are not yet available. Due to this beam cannon's defection, military headquarters believes it was an attack attempt by a hostile star system, so a special investigation team has been formed to conduct a thorough check of all defensive weapons for any suspicious data implants.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"

"General, there is one more thing."

The clerk hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell the general.

"Just spit it out! What are you stammering about"

Wu Yishan rubbed his temples and said.

The Matrimonial Court sent a notice, stating that Young Master Lian insists on waiting until he becomes an adult and independent before you can begin your second marriage.

The clerk finished speaking and immediately looked at the general's expression.

Although the general's affair and illegitimate child were kept under wraps, everyone who mattered knew about it. After all, the general's child with Du Yisheng was a weakling, incapable of inheriting the general's position. Therefore, bringing back the legitimate son with good qualifications was inevitable.

And Lian Yi's decision effectively postponed the child's return to the Wu family by fourteen years, which precisely coincides with the golden period for foundational development during childhood.

If an illegitimate child is not acknowledged, they will not receive any privileges and may even be discriminated against. Even if a general favors them privately, they will not receive too many good resources. This is the United Empire's limitation and indirect punishment for the party who commits adultery.

For General Wu, the situation is special at present. He urgently needs a successor with excellent qualifications. A biological son born now would take too long, and he cannot guarantee the child's abilities. On the other hand, this illegitimate son who has already grown up and possesses outstanding talent is the best choice.

Unfortunately, Lian Yi wouldn't stand for it and made this decision.

"I'll handle it, you go out first!"

Wu Yishan dismissed the clerk, then his face darkened. He felt that Lian Yi had been spoiled by Du Yi, being a wastrel and not knowing his place. He was actually causing trouble! Wu Yishan felt a bit angry and dialed Lian Yi's video call.

Unfortunately, Ian had already blocked Wu Yishan's video calls. When the other party made a third call, he directly transferred it to General Du Lao.

The moment the video call connected, Wu Yishan was about to vent his anger. Seeing General Du's face, he immediately extinguished it, stood up and bowed, then asked:

"General Du, why hasn't Lian Yi answered the video call"

"The child is sleeping in the sleep pod, you've been video calling non-stop. Smartbrain thought you had something important to attend to, so it directly transferred the call to me. Is there something you need from Lian Yi"

General Du was always imposing in his silence, and at this moment he calmly asked.

""

This is a tough one for Wu Yishan to answer. How could he tell the old general that he should marry another woman and bring his illegitimate son back into the Wu family Wouldn't that be slapping Du's family in the face

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lao Du, the old general, spoke first:

"Are you asking why Lian Yi stopped you from marrying the new bride and prevented that talented illegitimate child from returning home"

Wu Yishan, how impatient are you Lian Yi only said he wanted three years to get things ready, but you're unwilling to wait, eager to take the child home.

You're not considering your own son's feelings, and you also need to think about the face of our Du family! My daughter is still cold in her grave, and you're eager to take the illegitimate child home. This is slapping me in the face publicly."

Wu Yishan immediately bowed his head and apologized upon hearing this.

"General Du, I didn't mean it that way, and I discussed this with Lian Yi, he didn't object."

"His lack of opposition doesn't mean consent. His application to the marriage court is the best proof."

General Du said coldly.

This time Wu Yishan had no way to refute.

"Moving mountains, I understand your eagerness, but your approach hurt the child's feelings. He said you abandoned him and that he doesn't want to stay in that house because he feels like he's in your way. That's why he asked me to pick him up."

After all, you're father and son. Your relationship is so strained now. How will you face him in the future How does he view you

"It was my oversight."

Wu Yishan clenched his fists, but still made a concession.

"I don't want you to hate the child, and I don't want you to think that I, an old man, am meddling. Lianyi is also my grandson, and he has half of the Du family's blood in him. I persuaded Lianyi for half a day today, and he finally agreed."

As long as you are willing to transfer his custody to me and follow the requirements mentioned in our previous communication, I can bring Lian Bo to your side right now. He will also withdraw that application. Three years later, you can marry Xue Wenjing again.

After going around in circles, General Du opportunely put forward a condition.

This was indeed beyond Wu Yishan's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it was obvious that this was meant to distance Wu Lianyi from him. He felt a bit reluctant in his heart, but based on practical considerations, this was the best choice.

Besides, Lian Yi has a weak physique. Even if he went to the Du family, he wouldn't receive much attention. At most, he would have his basic needs met. When he grows up, the other party will surely recognize him as their son. As for Lian Bao, he needs to be brought back as soon as possible. Thinking this way, Wu Yishan finally nodded.

"I understand. I'll do as General Du said. I don't want the child to have a grudge in his heart. When some time has passed and his mood has calmed down, I'll visit him again."

He hung up the video call after speaking.

General Du seemed to have expected the other party's agreement beforehand. He directly called for the steward and instructed him to follow up on this matter, emphasizing the importance of obtaining guardianship as soon as possible. This way, Lian Yi could start enhancing his physique immediately.

Three days later, Lianyi's guardian was updated. The moment Ripple received the notification from the AI brain, she smiled contentedly. This was the first step in cutting off contact with Lianbo.

The benefits of the interstellar era are too obvious. You can do everything without leaving home. As long as he intends to avoid it, Lian Bo cannot get close to him, especially General Du's mansion. This is not a place where anyone who wants to enter can enter. Wu Lianbo must have been put on the blacklist.

"Little Master, all the instruments you need have arrived. How would you like them arranged"I am unable to return to the Hou Mansion. Please understand, Mother.”Ripples feigned sadness and said."Oh, tell me about your luck! How did you end up marrying such a short-lived man"Madam Hou sighed....
