Chapter 146: The Sickly and Descendant Vice Admiral vs. the Destitute Noble’s Daughter (StarCraft) (
Jiang Zheng walked over and took Eli's arm, like a perfect match.
"Admiral Oberon?" Jiang Zheng called out again, and only then did the stunned Oberon come to his senses.
Oberon looked at this scene in disbelief, "You are not with that person..." He pointed anxiously at the place where Egg was just now, but found that there was no one there.
Jiang Zheng also looked in the direction Oberon pointed and smiled, "Admiral Oberon, are you talking about Egg?"
Seeing Jiang Zheng bring it up, Oberon's expression became even more incredible.
What happened to this woman?
She even dared to speak out openly about her tryst with another man.
"You were having a secret meeting with someone behind Eli's back! And you even dared to say it out loud. You are so shameless!" Oberon looked as if he couldn't bear to look at Jiang Zheng, as if seeing Jiang Zheng was like seeing something dirty.
"A tryst?" Jiang Zheng asked suspiciously, then smiled. "I don't agree with what Admiral Oberon said. I wonder what the admiral saw that he accused me of a tryst in public?"
The medical building was a busy place, and Oberon deliberately wanted to make things bigger to embarrass Eli, so quite a few people had gathered here.
"Eli and I saw you and that guy sitting there, kissing and being so intimate! What else is there to say!" Oberon and Eli were in a clever position. From here, one would indeed have the illusion that Jiang Zheng and Egg were intimate.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Zheng could say anything, Eli's cold eyes looked at Oberon coldly. The familiar feeling of oppression seemed to bring Oberon back to the time when he was always crushed overnight.
This thought came to his mind, but was ruthlessly dismissed by Oberon.
Now he is the admiral! Eli is just a waste, their status is already very different, what is there for him to be afraid of!
"Eli, what do you mean by that look? Is this your attitude towards your superior?" Oberon used his military rank to suppress Eli, and Eli could not say anything. After all, they both belonged to the same military with a strict hierarchy, and as a lieutenant general, he could not make any judgment based on the admiral's words.
But this did not prevent him from protecting Jiang Zheng.
"Admiral, just chatting doesn't mean anything!" This was the most Eli could say under the strict military discipline.
"What's there to not explain? You and I saw it, didn't we?" Oberon seemed very eager to pin Jiang Zheng to death on the pillar of shame for having a tryst with a wild man. As long as this was successful, he would be able to humiliate Eli even more wantonly, humiliating the man who once suppressed him.
"Elai, I know that you just had your engagement broken off, so you must be feeling very proud right now. That's why I have to deal with this shameless woman for you, so that you can save your face. I'm thinking about you, so don't be ungrateful!"
Oberon put on airs and kept saying that he was thinking about Eli's face, but every word he said was exposing Eli's shortcomings. First, he brought up the fact that Jiang Chao had regretted the engagement at the wedding, and then he wanted to prove in public that Eli's newlywed wife had gone out to meet someone else, so as to take this opportunity to completely humiliate Eli.
He pretends to be kind-hearted, but his words and actions are extremely disgusting.
Eli's expression remained unchanged, as if Oberon's harsh words to him could not dampen the young lieutenant general's spirit.
He wanted to say something else, but Jiang Zheng held his hand.
He looked down and found Jiang Zheng was also looking at him. She gave him a soothing look and said, "Don't worry, just look at me."
Eli is restricted by the military and cannot openly conflict with Oberon, but Jiang Zheng is not like that.
"Admiral Oberon, I'll say the same thing again. Since you've accused me of having a secret meeting with someone, then please produce evidence so that everyone around me can be a witness." Jiang Zheng was too lazy to prove herself, and she didn't want to involve Egg and cause more trouble. "As an admiral, you must speak with reason and evidence, otherwise people won't be convinced."
"Since you said I was having a tryst, then tell me what the Admiral saw?" Jiang Zheng looked calm and fearless. "For example, what intimate actions did Egg and I take?"
In an instant, not only Jiang Zheng, but all the people watching the excitement turned to look at Oberon, waiting for his answer.
Oberon had an unpleasant look on his face, not knowing why a mere woman could be so difficult to deal with. An ordinary person would have run away in shame and anger if faced with such a thing. This was just the right opportunity for him to confirm the matter in front of everyone, but Jiang Zheng insisted on digging deeper into it, which was really annoying.
But the other party brought up his rank of general, and if he didn't speak up, his prestige would be in jeopardy.
"Admiral, may I ask... did you see me and Egg doing anything intimate?" Jiang Zheng wanted to let Oberon go, and before he could speak, she added, "Such as physical contact or something like that."
"I saw it. You and the person opposite you had your arms linked together!" Oberon said with a confident look.
Jiang Zheng smiled and continued to ask without refutation: "Oh, so what did the Admiral hear what I said to Egg?"
"It is just some sweet words of love, of course," Oberon continued.
But in fact he heard nothing, but he was not afraid of being exposed, because Jiang Zheng and the man were sitting in a sparsely populated corner.
No one else would hear what they said, and no one who knew the truth would expose Oberon's lies.
Jiang Zheng nodded and continued to ask, "Be more specific, what is it? Since Admiral Oberon has heard these sweet words, he must have heard the specific content. It is better to tell everyone so that no one will think that Admiral Oberon wants to convict an innocent person with a single word."
There were already some curious people whispering among the people around.
[Yeah, what kind of sweet talk is that? You can't convict someone with just one sentence, right? ]
[Admiral Oberon has such a high rank, he shouldn't embarrass the wife of a subordinate, right? ]
[Who knows? I heard that Admiral Oberon slandered one of his father's concubines when he was very young, which eventually led to the concubine being driven out. Later, it was discovered that it was the Admiral who was making up stories.]
With the advanced interstellar technology, many things can no longer be kept secret, and with just one word from someone, everything Oberon did as a child was dug up, and things are getting worse.
Oberon was anxious to maintain his prestige as an admiral, so he said without thinking, "What else could it be! You just told that man that you despised Eli because he couldn't have children and was a waste, so you were lonely and fell in love with him at first sight!"
Oberon spoke with such confidence that it seemed as if he had been sitting under the table and listening to the whole thing.
Jiang Zheng's relaxed expression suddenly turned cold, and the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared without a trace. "It seems that the admiral... is really good at lying!"
