Chapter 3113: After Divorce, Forced into 44 Rounds of Male Competition with My Ex-Husband

~8 min read 1,544 words

Jin Chen half-leaned in Chenshu's embrace, picking up a palm-sized protective case from the desk; inside the transparent case wall was a dark red star core.

He flicked the edge of the case with his fingertip, making the star core roll a little half-circle on the bottom, "The second surprise."

"We have grasped some truths about Rust Bone Star. After that energy leak accident years ago, this planet was abandoned rather than controlling the alien spread; while the previous imperial leadership's decision errors played a part, the main reason was that some politicians had taken over Rust Bone Star's mining area and did not want to take responsibility for the accident, so they blocked the external routes, leaving it to fend for itself."

After he finished speaking, the livestream fell silent for a few seconds.

Jin Chen stopped speaking, others also seemed to be waiting for something; only the occasional clink of utensils could be heard in the restaurant.

At the same time, in the office building on Main Star, Keluofute shifted from rage to panic.

He couldn't believe... Chenshu had actually subdued Rust Bone Star in just three days, a planet that even the Imperial Regular Army could not handle, abandoned for over a hundred years. Even more unbelievable, Jin Chen, in front of the whole Stellar Net, exposed that scandal buried for over a hundred years. If the Imperial Family found out about this... damn it.

The livestream again transmitted Jin Chen's voice; this time he named names: "Mr. Keluofute, I'll give you another half a star hour to deal with the public opinion about Chenshu."

Less than ten minutes after those words, Keluofute received a summons from the Imperial Family.

——

Mai Lun shot up from his chair, eyes red-rimmed, "Jin Chen! You... ah!"

Chenshu pressed Mai Lun's shoulder with one hand, forcing him back into the chair; a punch followed, instantly robbing Mai Lun of his ability to speak, hunched and curled up in the chair, gasping heavily.

"You dare move him?" Chenshu's voice was low, almost without inflection.

Jin Chen patted Chenshu's arm, signaling him to relax, then his tone quickly brightened: "All right, Mai Lun, there's another surprise later. Of course, the third surprise is also for you."

He smiled at the camera; that smile looked especially handsome in the light, yet also especially inscrutable.

:???? I'm starting to get scared, what's going on?

: Every time Jin Chen smiles like that, nothing good happens…

: What is the third surprise? I dare not watch, yet I really want to.

: Jin Chen, remember you're still a game designer! Don't become some pervert killer!

Jin Chen lifted his tea cup, using the rim to block his overly raised lip corner.

After losing the system's protection, everything Chi Mu had done could no longer be hidden; 999 collected all evidence without omission, from communication records to transfer flows, from anonymous account IP addresses to deleted chat logs—everything was there.

He opened his optical brain, projecting the screen onto the livestream; page after page of evidence unfolded before the camera.

Jin Chen cleared his throat and began to chant.

"While Chi Mu was conducting important research on Yun Wu, he deliberately leaked his experimental plan to rivals, spreading rumors of the experiment's danger, nearly causing Yun Wu's ruin and disgrace."

Yun Wu lowered his head, fingers clenched together under the table.

"He defrauded the Steve family's funds, shamelessly transferring thirteen large sums of star coins, the destination unknown."

Steve clicked his tongue, leaned back against the chair, and averted his gaze, unable to bear looking directly.

"The medical accident involving Yan Xu was Chi Mu's doing; afterwards he approached Yan Xu under the pretense of consolation, currying favor, while simultaneously seducing Mai Lun." Jin Chen flipped to the next page, "Oh dear."

He shook his head: "Mai Lun, you should still remember when he proactively came to you to discuss cooperation, right? That night he had just left Yan Xu's office, tsk, you guys talk about it."

Yan Xu: "……"

Mai Lun: "……"

Jin Chen continued flipping forward.

And what shocked the Stellar Net audience most was that Chenshu's capture in the Grey Domain was actually due to Chi Mu leaking his battle location and route in advance, selling his whereabouts to the Grey Domain.

Tracing back further, it was Jin Chen's aircraft collision accident; the time, place, and flight path all matched the information Chi Mu provided to a certain anonymous account.

One after another, piece by piece, the evidence was solid and indisputable.

The comments went from shock to anger, from anger to questioning Chi Mu's humanity, then to near-silent grief and indignation.

Those who had once defended Chi Mu's fans now didn't know what to say; they could defend the wronged, but could not acquit the proven criminal.

Chenshu continually held Jin Chen's fingers tight, his expression inscrutable; his face looked calm, even aloof, as if the long-suppressed grievance had finally been cleared, bringing relief, yet also like the stolen time that could never be recovered, bringing regret.

The comments beheld his expression, feeling a great sorrow; clearly his life should have been such happiness, but because of Chi Mu's appearance, it was ruined into this.

Mai Lun was completely dumbfounded.

He slumped in his chair, blankly watching those evidence pages flip over; his worldview was completely overturned in just a few minutes.

Jin Chen kindly looked at Mai Lun, poured him a cup of green vegetable juice, pushed it forward, and said, "Guess why your father, Mr. Keluofute, trusts Chi Mu so much, placing his hope in him for the cooperation to pull Chenshu down?"

Mai Lun's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he realized something.

Jin Chen leaned against the chair back, Chenshu's hand still not released, he naturally tilted his head onto Chenshu's shoulder, his tone lazy, sighing.

"A father and son sharing a wife is also a fine thing."

Chenshu let out a light laugh beside him.

Mai Lun let out a grunt, his whole body stiff, nearly unable to catch his breath.

: Ahhhhh! Killing intent!

: Father and son sharing a wife… Damn, Keluofute and Chi Mu are also involved??

: No wonder Keluofute worked so hard to take down Chenshu; turns out it was to avenge his lover (laugh).

: This melon is too big, I can't stomach it… Let's discuss how many people Chi Mu has slept with over the years.

Yun Wu and Steve, long free from suffering, exchanged a glance; Steve patted his own chest, then patted Yun Wu's chest, "Phew, phew, we escaped disaster."

After settling the Chi Mu matter, Jin Chen's mood clearly improved a lot.

He leaned against Chenshu, sipping tea that had grown somewhat cool while scrolling through Stellar Net discussions about the incident.

The Imperial Family obviously did not want Chenshu to alienate the military; a general capable of subduing Rust Bone Star and mastering exotic creature taming technology was worth far more than the politicians whose scandals had been unearthed.

Even without half a star hour, the Imperial Family swiftly issued a statement: declaring Chenshu need not be dismissed, immediately reinstating his rank as General of the Third Military Department, his actions during the Rust Bone Star period being an on-the-spot decision, fully compliant. Keluofute was stripped of all political offices, half of his family assets confiscated and given to Chenshu, the other half seized by the state, and Keluofute himself together with his immediate family were immediately exiled to Trash Star.

Jin Chen was the first to see the Imperial Family's announcement posted on Stellar Net, tossed the terminal onto the table, and turned his head to look at Chenshu.

"Uncle Chenshu, are you happy?"

Chenshu lightly touched Jin Chen's earlobe, "Happy. Xiao Chen, I now have a request."

He, under the full Stellar Net livestream camera, said those words: "Let's remarry when we go back, okay?"

Bullet comments:???

: Wait a sec?! What are you guys coming back to do?

: I thought you two were just old lovers……

: Remarry! Remarry! Remarry!

: I said their interaction isn't an ordinary relationship! You still don't believe me!

Jin Chen drew out his tone with an "ah," then slightly narrowed his eyes, as if reluctantly indulging, "Alright, I agree."

A near‑gentle smile appeared in Chenshu's eyes, and he gripped Jin Chen's hand tighter, fingers interlaced, as if he would never let go.

Jin Chen waved at the live‑stream sphere, "All the surprises are done; the new game "Endless Killing Space" launches next month—welcome to try it."

Having said that, he reached out and shut off the live‑stream sphere; the whole motion was smooth and fluid, giving the bullet comments no chance to keep asking.

The screen fell into darkness, but the discussion heat on the Star Net did not diminish at all; instead, because of the final remarriage declaration, it climbed to a new peak once again.

Yan Xu stood up, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Where is Chi Mu now?"

Jin Chen glanced at him, tone casual, "Don't worry. Too many people hate him; even if someone wanted to slash him, it's not your turn yet."

He tilted his head, giving a meaningful smile, "But you can look forward to the new game launching next month."
