AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 36

The entire post was the poster lamenting his bad luck. He revealed a lot of information in the post, such as his mother being a concubine while his half-brother’s mother was the first wife, and that he and his half-brother had never gotten along since childhood.

Also, after his half-brother framed him, he resigned, but his hard work was then labeled with his half-brother’s name and could never be retrieved.

Although he blurred out the information, there weren’t many researchers in the First Research Institute. There were half-brothers, and one of the half-brothers had resigned a few months ago. Based on the clues, people quickly confirmed the identities of the poster and the vicious half-brother in the post.

It was Ruan Ming Marshal’s two sons from his first wife and current wife – Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang was low-key, and he didn’t think his previous job required him to become an internet celebrity. Therefore, most ordinary netizens had never heard of Ruan Tang.

But Ruan Xi was different. As a luck plunderer, he needed a lot of prestige and admiration from others to maintain his halo. Therefore, he had started posting about his life and work on major social networking sites very early on, creating a high-profile Omega image for himself with Ruan Ming Marshal’s son, First Research Institute researcher, and noble Omega status.

He gained countless fans who yearned for his life and liked him.

His fans even respected him as Dr. Ruan, a social media influencer with a certain degree of popularity.

After it was revealed that the poster might be their respected Dr. Ruan, a group of fans who supported Ruan Xi instantly exploded.

People kept running to Ruan Xi’s Xingbo to ask and care about this matter: “Is it true, Dr. Ruan? Did you post that post? Not only did your half-brother steal your research results, but he also framed you for seducing his husband?”

“I can’t believe it! Someone is bullying our Dr. Ruan who is living such a peaceful life…”

“I thought the First Research Institute was a sacred place for scientific researchers, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen? The world is getting worse and worse.”

“Dr. Ruan, did someone really steal your experimental success? This is too dark, your brother is simply a professional tumor.”

“Is it true? Dr. Ruan, is there really such a thing?”

“I thought the First Research Institute was the cleanest place, but it actually allows bullying and this kind of thing to happen.”

“It’s disgusting, is it a decline in morality or a corruption of human nature… I found out that Ruan Tang, the brother of Researcher Ruan, resigned from the First Research Institute three months ago, and now his husband is the famous mad Duke Auston, who is notorious in Imperial Star. He resigned but still wants to steal other people’s research results and put his name on it, and then he is not satisfied and lets his husband attack and retaliate, disgusting!”

“This Ruan Tang is indeed in the same league with his husband and is so vicious.”

……

Although many people were indignant, at first there were still rational people who took a wait-and-see attitude: “Everyone, calm down first, this matter has not been confirmed yet? Maybe the poster made it up, and it may not be Dr. Ruan Xi and his brother, don’t rush to scold, let’s find out the truth first.”

“+1, Ruan Tang has resigned, what is the point of stealing research results?”

“That’s right, we shouldn’t comment on things we don’t know…”

But all of this was completely different after the internet celebrity Ruan Xi posted a Xingbo.

The reason was that Ruan Xi posted a design drawing of the sword cannon he designed and other related parameter data sketches, as well as a group photo of notes related to the new mecha c902 plan. After blurring the confidential parts, he wrote: “You can never imagine that sometimes the person who hurts you the most is your closest person.”

It seemed like he didn’t say anything, just a blog post about his mood, but combined with various rumors and his pictures… it seemed to confirm everything…

This was a trap that Ruan Xi had already set for Ruan Tang. This was also the fastest way he could think of to discredit Ruan Tang and plunder luck from him to repair his halo.

He originally planned to use this trap to give Ruan Tang a fatal blow in the future, but now he couldn’t wait any longer.

Now is the Interstellar Age, and people value the protection of intellectual property rights and various patents the most. They cannot tolerate plagiarism and theft of experimental results.

Because as social classes become more and more distinct, relying on knowledge and ability to help yourself cross classes is the only way out for the common people.

If scientific research success and intellectual property rights can also be stolen, where can they see a little bit of hope and possibility for their future?

Everyone in the entire interstellar hates plagiarism and theft of experimental success and pays close attention to it.

Once such a thing is confirmed, in order to ensure the operation of the system and the authority of the Imperial law, all those who have done such a thing will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will never be able to set foot in the industry for the rest of their lives. Even if you are a noble with high status and power, you cannot be spared…

As soon as this happened, whether they knew Ruan Xi or not, they all pushed the incident to the top of Xingbo’s hot search list.

People quickly found out from the information disclosure website of the First Research Institute that although Ruan Tang had resigned, the names of Ruan Tang were signed under the two major projects of ‘Alligator Tooth Sword Cannon’ and ‘c902 Mecha Improvement Plan’, declaring that the credit for the experimental results of these two new weapons research plans belonged to Ruan Tang.

And as Ruan Xi submitted his design manuscript, which clearly stated the drawing time, to the ‘Intellectual Property Arbitration Court’, requesting the court to arbitrate the research results of these two things.

The incident was pushed to its peak and instantly exploded.

Many indignant passers-by immediately started trending topics such as #Support Dr. Ruan Xi’s Rights Protection# #Relatives Cannot Steal Research Results# #First Research Institute Return Dr. Ruan Xi Justice# and so on.

And many insiders who claimed to be Ruan Xi’s friends also started various revelations on the internet, such as Ruan Tang and Ruan Xi not getting along since childhood, Ruan Tang always relying on being born to the first wife to scold Ruan Xi and slander Ruan Xi’s mother as a mistress who bullied Ruan Xi, and often causing trouble in the researcher and targeting Ruan Xi time and time again… and so on, a series of Ruan Xi’s flower protectors said the same old things.

As well as the fact that he had an influence on the research results, Ruan Tang had already had a fight with Ruan Xi over these two research results when Ruan Tang had not resigned. At that time, Ruan Tang was confident and didn’t show that either of them had stolen the other’s research results. They only knew that Ruan Xi gave in in the end. At that time, they thought that there was a misunderstanding between the two, and the brain holes were similar by coincidence.

Now it seems that Ruan Tang relied on his blood relationship to put pressure on his family to make Ruan Xi give in.

During the period, Ruan Xi also secretly washed away the matter of failing to seduce Auston at the banquet and being slapped in the face. The Shen family and Ruan Ming had already jointly put pressure to destroy the video of that day in order to save their reputation. Except for the people who were present that day, no one else knew the truth of what happened at that time. What they heard was nothing more than rumors.

Ruan Xi was confident that he could wash it clean, but because Auston was too crazy, he didn’t dare to offend him and bring this matter out to make a fuss.

Therefore, he didn’t mention a word about it on his Xingbo, but he hired countless water armies to pretend to be friends and claim that they saw what happened that day, and saw how Ruan Tang and his husband, Duke Auston, who was notorious in the Imperial Star, bullied the poor and helpless Ruan Xi that day.

Once a real insider came forward and said that Ruan Xi really seduced Auston that day and suffered the consequences, someone would come forward to whitewash and say that the other party was a water army slandering Ruan Xi.

Various news mixed together, all of Ruan Xi’s fans and indignant passers-by were in an uproar, and they frantically attacked Ruan Tang on the internet.

“Oh my God, it’s too vicious. How could Dr. Ruan Xi have such a brother, it’s terrible, how can there be such a vicious person in the world.”

“Dr. Ruan Xi is so miserable!”

“This Ruan Tang is so vicious, he has pushed Dr. Ruan to the point of desperation, and he still wants to destroy Dr. Ruan’s reputation. Dr. Ruan is so peaceful, how can he bear it? He must be jealous, right?”

“Dr. Ruan seduced Ruan Tang’s husband, the ugly and disabled duke who only dares to wear a mask to go out, I’m laughing. Dr. Ruan Xi has a good background, is good-looking, and has talent, how could he like an ugly and disabled madman, but Ruan Tang is really willing to go all out. He has such a good background, but he married such a person in order to climb up. It can be seen that his own qualifications are not good and he can’t compare with Dr. Ruan Xi…”

“The difference between brothers is so big, is it because they are half-brothers? I heard that Ruan Tang’s mother is just a commoner, but Dr. Ruan Xi’s mother is a noble lady, it’s really different, tsk tsk…”

“That Ruan Tang must be very ugly, right? Otherwise, how could he like an ugly monster? These two ugly monsters are a match made in heaven, don’t let them out to harm others!”

Because it involved intellectual property rights and nobles bullying others, the matter became very big, and it almost paralyzed Xingbo.

Everyone was clamoring for Ruan Tang to come out and respond to this matter.

The trend of scolding and supporting Ruan Xi was getting bigger and bigger.

Looking at the bombardment of himself on the screen, Ruan Tang sighed in his heart that Ruan Xi had good means.

The dispute between him and Ruan Xi over the research results happened half a year ago. At that time, Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang were in the same team, and they were both participants in the latest sword cannon modification and c902 design modification.

Ruan Tang came up with the ideas and suggestions for the sword cannon and c902 first, but before submitting the drawings, Ruan Tang accidentally lost the drawings.

On the day of submitting the drawings, Ruan Tang was surprised to find that the drawings he redrew later were very similar to Ruan Xi’s, and it was obvious at a glance that one of them had borrowed from the other.

And Ruan Xi’s drawings were two days earlier than his redrawn drawings, but Ruan Tang had reported the loss of his previous drawings.

Therefore, Wen Run and the senior management of the research institute could not determine who copied whom. At that time, someone advised Ruan Tang to give in, but at that time, Ruan Tang was innocent of his own hard work and naturally argued and refused to give in.

The two sides argued endlessly, but Ruan Xi gave in first.

However, even if Ruan Xi gave in, Ruan Xi had a good relationship with people in the research institute, and everyone liked him. They believed that Ruan Tang bullied him. Ruan Tang’s work in the research institute was also not smooth. People often pointed fingers at him, thinking that he stole Ruan Xi’s research results and forced him to this point.

Although Ruan Tang was innocent, he didn’t feel comfortable in that environment. At that time, Ruan Ming was forcing him to marry, so after finishing the things he was responsible for, Ruan Tang chose to resign without hesitation.

Ruan Tang thought that Ruan Xi’s concession at that time was because he felt guilty, but he didn’t expect Ruan Xi to be waiting for him here. It was really a good plan.

However, now he was no longer afraid of him and would not give in again.

Ruan Tang didn’t even have the urge to tell others about this and complain. He just dialed a communication: “Hello, is this Lawyer Zhang? Hello, I am Ruan Tang… I have something here, I want to sue Ruan Xi and some people for defamation and rumors, damaging the reputation of me and my husband.”

“What is the situation on your side?”

……

After talking with the lawyer in detail, Ruan Tang called Elena, Duchess: “Hello, is this Duchess Elena? I am Ruan Tang, do you still have the surveillance video of Ruan Xi and Duke Auston at your house last time? I need to retrieve it now…”

“…No, it’s gone, I deleted it all. Wasn’t this matter resolved at that time? What do you want that thing for now?” Duchess Elena’s voice was very embarrassed. Under the pressure of Ruan Ming and the Shen family, he actually didn’t want to give the video to Ruan Tang.

When Ruan Tang heard his voice, he felt that he might not have deleted it, and immediately said: “Really? Can you think of a way to find it again? The Duke wants it.”

“…This, I’ll look in the recycle bin again, and ask someone to restore the data, maybe there will be some, but I can’t guarantee it.” Duchess Elena was even more embarrassed. She weighed the pressure from both sides and finally felt that Auston was more unbearable to offend and more terrifying.

Ruan Tang knew that he could probably get the video smoothly, and quickly said: “Okay, then please trouble you, I will wait for your good news here. Just send the video to my personal terminal at that time.”

This time, he would never give Ruan Xi a chance to step on his head and splash dirty water on him again…

He who strikes first is mean. Since Ruan Xi refuses to let him go, then don’t blame him for being rude.

After dealing with this series of things, Ruan Tang then logged into his personal Xingbo space, which had never posted much content. Without any pictures, he just posted a Xingbo: “The clear are clear, I will use legal weapons to solve all the slanders and defamations about me and my husband today.”

It was to tell Ruan Xi, and also to tell everyone.

Ruan Tang was not an internet celebrity, and had never marketed himself. His popularity was far inferior to Ruan Xi. In fact, there was nothing to discover when his Xingbo was posted.

Occasionally, a few people who saw it were also hardcore fans of Ruan Xi, and they directly sprayed him: “Hehe, you are clear, what is clear? How can someone like you have the face to say that you are clear?”

“Dr. Ruan Xi has already applied for arbitration, and the time when the design sketch was made is clear. If you are not convinced, take out your evidence…”

“Plagiarism is plagiarism, get out, you dog who steals other people’s experimental results!”

……

Ruan Tang didn’t care about these vicious and extreme words, and just wanted to pick up the weapon of law to defend himself.

At this moment, Ruan Tang’s former work unit, the First Research Institute, suddenly issued an official letter.

The content of the official letter was concise and powerful. It directly announced that Researcher Ruan Tang did not steal other people’s experimental results during his work in the institute. After unanimous appraisal by the senior management of the institute, it was determined that the experimental results of the sword cannon and c902 were all the personal hard work of Researcher Ruan Tang. Although Researcher Ruan Tang has resigned, the research institute respects the protection of intellectual property rights and feels that it must speak out at this time to maintain Researcher Ruan Tang and also maintain the personal reputation of the research institute.

And the information released by Researcher Ruan Xi on the internet that Researcher Ruan Tang’s experimental results were stolen from him was determined to be false by a group of senior executives of the research institute and was a rumor. After the ‘Intellectual Property Court Arbitration’, the research institute will study and decide on the accountability and punishment for Researcher Ruan Xi’s false rumor behavior.

The First Research Institute firmly protects the intellectual property rights of every scientific researcher, and also asks the general public not to spread rumors and help spread rumors.

The announcement was also stamped with the official seals of the Dean and Chief Wen Run of the First Research Institute.

Ruan Tang was stunned when he saw the official letter. He actually had a very unpleasant departure from the First Research Institute. He never expected that the First Research Institute would issue an official letter at this time to speak out against Ruan Xi for him.

Especially, it was also stamped with the official seal of Wen Run, one of Ruan Xi’s flower protectors.

And the one who was stunned was not only Ruan Tang. Ruan Xi was not well at all, and immediately dialed a communication to Wen Run, anxiously saying: “Wen Run, what is going on with the official letter from the First Research Institute? What does this mean, don’t you believe me? How could you stamp such an official seal, did Auston force you to do it, right?”

“Have you also succumbed to the power of that Bluebeard?” He felt that he had maintained a good relationship with Wen Run in the First Research Institute.

Therefore, when doing this, he never thought that the First Research Institute and Wen Run would drag him back at this time and stand up to support Ruan Tang at this time.

Ruan Xi thought that based on the relationship between him and Wen Run, unless Auston forced him, Wen Run would never do such a thing…

“Don’t you know what’s going on in your heart? Researcher Ruan.” When Wen Run heard this voice, he felt extremely disgusting, and asked coldly.

In the previous life, he was blinded by his own paranoia and never paid attention to the truth of the dispute between Ruan Tang and Ruan Xi. He was misled by Ruan Xi and thought that Ruan Tang really stole and plagiarized his design drawings.

It wasn’t until he accidentally found Ruan Tang’s lost drawings in the research institute. The drawings of the First Research Institute were specially made. For military secrets, they could not be taken out of the research institute before the weapon was completed. Once they were taken out, an alarm would sound, and the completion time of the drawings was clearly recorded on them and could not be faked.

He realized that he and everyone had misunderstood Ruan Tang.

But it was too late…

Thinking back to the scene in the previous life where Ruan Tang was slandered by Ruan Xi and his reputation was ruined, Wen Run felt regretful and heartbroken.

Coming again, he would never give Ruan Xi a chance to hurt Ruan Tang again…

Therefore, the first thing he did when he came back was to find these drawings, and repaired the surveillance data that was inexplicably damaged when Ruan Tang’s drawings disappeared that year for several nights.

The surveillance told him that the person who stole Ruan Tang’s drawings and hid Ruan Tang’s drawings in that place was Ruan Xi.

Wen Run took all the evidence and went to the dean and many senior executives of the research institute until now.

In this life, he must return this justice to Ruan Tang…

When Ruan Xi heard this, he panicked immediately, feeling that something had gone wrong, his face was pale, and he asked in surprise: “…You, what do you mean?”

“Don’t you know what I mean?” Wen Run said coldly, word by word: “Who is the real plagiarist between you and Ruan Tang, who is the real wicked person who sues first, don’t you know?”

Ruan Xi didn’t know what went wrong, and his voice trembled: “Wen Run–”

“This time, I will let everyone see clearly who is the despicable plagiarist, who should be nailed to the pillar of shame and be spurned. Enjoy it, Ruan Xi.” Wen Run didn’t care about Ruan Xi’s struggle at all. He couldn’t forgive Ruan Xi, just like he couldn’t forgive himself.

After saying that, he didn’t give Ruan Xi a chance to beg for mercy, and directly hung up the communication and dragged Ruan Xi into the blacklist…

As soon as the official letter from the First Research Institute came out, many people who were passionately scolding Ruan Tang as a plagiarist calmed down and took a wait-and-see attitude towards this incident.

Although there were a lot of rumors on the internet, the First Research Institute still had a certain credibility in people’s minds…

Seeing that the First Research Institute was so certain that Ruan Tang did not steal Ruan Xi’s research results, but Ruan Xi was spreading rumors, they were not sure.

Even if there were still some internet trolls clamoring: “Duke Auston’s wife is covering the sky with one hand, bullying others, and even a place like the First Research Institute has succumbed.”

But the momentum of scolding Ruan Tang was much smaller than before. Everyone was clamoring for the First Research Institute to give a clear evidence and speed up the intellectual property protection arbitration.
