Chapter 399 - 197: The Returning Hero? (Part 2)
The internet is now flooded with news of Yun Shaojiang’s return, and Princess Fusu has long been forgotten. Changxi, who has always assisted Su Jiameng in her endeavors, couldn’t possibly be unaware of this situation. It is precisely because of this knowledge that she feels a headache coming on...
The nine individuals who infiltrated the upper echelons of the Alliance have gradually surfaced. Although their real identities are still unknown, there are some experimental records from back then. By slowly investigating along this line, they can eventually follow the clues and catch them!
Among them, the clearest clue is the experimental subject numbered "019370".
Through a joint investigation by the forces left behind by Su Jiameng, Changxi, and Gu Ningzhi, several extracted clues vaguely point to the same person, the returning hero with a certain level of prestige today—Yun Shaojiang, Yun Cuixi!
A young lieutenant general much older than Li You, even though their military ranks are the same, Yun Cuixi is far more famous than Li You. Yun Cuixi, with a slightly delicate appearance, always has a gentle smile like the breeze of March, handling people and matters comprehensively, being gentle and strong without losing masculinity, and rose to power from the grassroots level, while Li You?
In comparison, Li You is not actually inferior. It’s just that over the years, he has been advancing further down the path of an expressionless persona, being impartial in his dealings often offends those with narrow minds. Although upright, he is not as accepted as those who can maneuver adeptly.
Moreover, Yun Cuixi acts in a high-profile manner, wanting nothing more than to clearly highlight all his achievements, whereas Li You quietly does his own thing, seldom seeking credit, with a pitifully low media exposure rate.
Many military media outlets want to interview Li You, hoping he can share the mental journey along the way, establishing a positive public image for the Military Department and achieving promotional effects. What was the result? Li You directly dismissed all media with a single sentence, "We soldiers are not actors, swaying around in front of the public all day is disgraceful! With such time, it is better to practice steadfastly and serve the Alliance more."
On the other hand, Yun Cuixi, who was promoted to lieutenant general around the same time as Li You, is much easier to talk to. He is a very agreeable person, never refusing when the military media wants an interview. Regardless of who he is facing or what the topic is, he can always lighten the atmosphere.
When others ask why, he says, "Since it’s for military department publicity, it’s naturally beneficial to the department. Being an alliance soldier, it is an unshirkable duty, and it’s nothing troublesome. Why can’t we spare a little time for this? At worst, sleep a few hours less at night, do not delay training or make the media look too embarrassed. No matter how you slice it, convenience to others is also convenience to oneself."
The difference in conduct between the two is stark, and anyone would feel that Li You is too unsympathetic, while Yun Cuixi’s gentleness as a contrasting figure makes him incredibly likeable. Therefore... although Li You is a lieutenant general, he is virtually invisible.
To the public, Yun Cuixi’s image is gentle, handsome, yet strong, a perfect man, a typical representation of a dream lover. Men envy him but can’t surpass him, women desire him but need to check how many rivals they have... It can be said, within the Xilena Military Department, Yun Cuixi’s popularity rivals that of several Admirals... Moreover, some predict that Yun Cuixi will definitely become an Admiral within fifty years!
Su Jiameng scoffs at this conclusion! It’s just hype; becoming an Admiral isn’t something that can be achieved so easily!
The Yun Cuixi known to the outside world is completely different from the one Su Jiameng has uncovered; at least the Yun Cuixi she sees is off track.
Gentle? Indeed very gentle, capable of showing the gentlest smile in the world while doing the most disgusting things. Strong? Indeed very strong, his body may already be modified beyond the human category and could establish a species in the universe. Handsome? For this conclusion, she can only chuckle; probably those who said this have never seen what Yun Cuixi looked like as an experimental subject!
Yun Cuixi’s body is, after all, different from ordinary humans. At certain times, it reveals some abnormal traits, which are impossible to conceal.
Therefore, Yun Cuixi’s background was altered to that of a son of a human man and an alien race woman, an orphan who lost his parents early, grew up in an orphanage, and then was adopted, achieving success as he grew older, entering the military department to start a life that can be described as illustrious...
