Chapter 587: Chapter 267: Ancestral Land_2 Chapter 587: Chapter 267: Ancestral Land_2 Then, Yan Fei felt that there were numerous doubts surrounding Yang Qi's situation. How could someone who was practically unable to care for himself be sent abroad on an official assignment, let alone tasked with addressing others' questions? Although Yang Qi was aware of it, he might not be able to clearly express his own thoughts. In such a state, how could he resolve others' doubts? Moreover, Yang Qi's prowess was only known within the Research Institute, and others could not possibly be aware of his true strength. So how did the Americans come to understand Yang Qi's formidable scientific expertise and wish to keep him in the United States to serve them?

Another point was that Yan Fei did have a good relationship with Yang Qi, but they had been out of touch since graduating from university. Therefore, the Americans certainly wouldn't know the depth of Yan Fei and Yang Qi's friendship. How then did they think to use Yang Qi to lure Yan Fei and the Destroyer into their trap? Would Yan Fei really risk everything for a foolish classmate from years ago?

Previously, Yan Fei had focused his energy on rescuing Yang Qi, thinking more about how to save him and escape danger, without giving much thought to other aspects. However, after completing the rescue mission, Yan Fei discovered many details that had previously been overlooked, leading him to suspect the reasons behind the Yang Qi incident.

Once the news about Yang Qi being a KB molecule member spread domestically, the vast majority of the citizens, unaware of who Yang Qi was, naturally assumed he was indeed a KB molecule member. Since everyone despised KB molecule members, they started berating Yang Qi, thinking he had disgraced the country and insulted his own parents by association. Against this backdrop, some domestic media began interviewing Yang Qi's parents.

When facing the cameras, the elderly couple were overwhelmed with tears, unable to believe their son was a KB molecule member. What they really worried about was Yang Qi's safety, hoping that someone could do justice and clear Yang Qi of the false accusations, and bring him back safely. During the interview, they continuously spoke to the cameras about Yang Qi's intelligence and his accomplishments, to prove that he wasn't a KB molecule member. As for the external portrayal of Yang Qi as eccentric, it was simply because he devoted his energy to scientific research and wasn't good at socializing, which led others to view him as peculiar. Ultimately, the elderly couple condemned the Beijing Research Institute, accusing them of not distinguishing right from wrong, betraying loyalty, and kicking a man when he's down.

Meanwhile, in the United States, there were ongoing exhaustive reports about the escaped KB molecule member Yang Qi. Yet, there were still no tidbits of news about the extensive destruction and losses caused by Yan Fei in his Destroyer identity within the United States. It was unclear whether these stories were being suppressed, or if journalists had not yet managed to report on them.

Seeing the overwhelming news coverage on the Internet about Yang Qi's involvement in the KB Attack in the United States, witnessing the Americans on the Internet accusing him without restraint, and looking at the helplessness of Yang Qi's parents during media interviews, Yan Fei felt indignant. At that moment, he deeply understood the importance of discourse power. Without it, others could manipulate you at will; whatever came out of their mouths became the truth, the reality. Whether you were exalted to the skies or cast down into hell hinged on their whims. Yang Qi's plight was a perfect example of losing discourse power.

However, Yan Fei had no good solution for this and could only let the unfavorable commentary about Yang Qi flood the Internet. Then he logged onto the Dark Web using Fei Ping's account, eager to check on the status of the Bounty Task, only to discover that it had unexpectedly been accepted by seven individuals or groups.

No one besides Yan Fei's own incarnation as the Destroyer had ever taken up the Bounty Tasks he had previously issued, so he was completely unaccustomed to someone else accepting his task. Upon seeing who had accepted his task, he was first taken aback, then suddenly realized. These task takers clearly didn't know that the Yang Qi incident was actually orchestrated by the US Government. The moment they got involved, they would be facing the US Government. Attracted by the steep compensation of five hundred million US dollars, they must have thought it was an easy job, a simple case of wrongful accusation, and that all they needed to do was uncover the truth behind the case. Yet they hadn't considered that once they discovered the truth, they could potentially be targeted for elimination by the US Government globally.

While Yan Fei was scoffing at their overconfidence, the Auxiliary Brain noticed a video that had appeared on the Internet. On some of the largest video sites and forums in the United States, a video with a mysterious title emerged. The title of the video was: “Yang Qi, A KB Molecule Member's Confession.”

Upon seeing this title, Yan Fei felt curious, so he immediately opened the video, only to find that its content was a news segment about Yang Qi from the American BBC. The video focused on reports about Yang Qi's involvement in the KB Attack and interviews with the victims.

Initially, Yan Fei thought the video was just someone seeking fame by making a trending video to ride on the coattails of a hot issue. However, as the video from the front played out, the following segments began to provide a detailed analysis of the previously shown footage. The BBC's video was somewhat unclear, so many details were not easy to see. But the creator of this video used a brand new analytical technology to restore those blurry videos, turning them into high-definition footage.
