84: Chapter 84 Peach Leaves, One Yuan Per Time

When Jiang Chen was piloting the pearl river 888 back to the country...

The Pearl River Media Station also received a news article.

The content was from a frontline reporter with the Dragon Cry aircraft carrier battle group.

She compiled the pirate incidents encountered, the strange tales and interesting stories, and the firsthand observations from the Dragon Cry battle group's journey into a news report and sent it to the Pearl River Media Station.

Among them was one piece of news regarding the pearl river 888 receiving commendations twice.

However, it did not mention the specific hull number, only stating that a certain vessel in the formation had received two commendations, which had been reported to the Ministry of Oceans.

"One First-Class Merit."

"One Special-Class Merit."

"Which warship is this, so fierce, bagging so many military merits in one go?"

The editor at Pearl River Media was stunned.

If this article hadn't come from the Dragon Cry aircraft carrier battle group, he would have thought it was content from some popular novel.

Under normal circumstances!

For a warship to earn a First-Class Merit, it would need to take out at least several dozen pirates.

As for a Special-Class Merit!

That would be a medium-sized pirate group, at least fifty people.

In recent years, there haven't been many incidents of warships earning merits, mainly because no pirates dared to provoke them.

Who would have thought.

Now, someone actually dared to provoke them.

Amazed, the editor worked on the news article for a while and then posted it on the relevant official account.

[Congratulations to a certain warship of our nation's aircraft carrier battle group for earning one First-Class Merit and one Special-Class Merit during this voyage for escort duty!]

As soon as this news was released...

Netizens across major media platforms immediately erupted.

[Holy crap, what's going on, suddenly so many military merits?]

[First-Class Merit, Special-Class Merit... their ancestral graves must be smoking! This is absolutely something to bring honor to their ancestors!]

[Indeed! Many First-Class Merits typically involve significant danger.]

[I've heard that most Special-Class Merits are awarded posthumously. Those who survive to receive one... are practically divine.]

[These merits can only mean they took out a huge number of pirates.]

[True! For an aircraft carrier battle group to earn such major merits on a voyage, it's highly likely they wiped out some pirate den.]

[But wait, that doesn't make sense either. Destroyers and cruisers have such strong defensive capabilities. What pirate wouldn't steer clear and dare to engage them head-on?]

[Didn't the aircraft carrier battle group recently include a small fishing boat? Could it be that because it was so small, pirates targeted it?]

[Pfft! Hahaha, are you suggesting the cruisers couldn't find pirates, so they specifically brought a small fishing boat to lure them?]

[So that's it! Now I finally understand why a small fishing boat could join the battle group formation—it was to attract pirates!]

[Haha, 66666, that small fishing boat is awesome!]

[Maybe it even has shipborne missiles on board.]

[Damn, installing missiles on a small fishing boat? I'm done with you old sixes.]

[Hahahahahaha!]

Netizens let their imaginations run wild, making all sorts of connections.

...

When this news spread...

Yang Wei's beautiful secretary, Sun Meizi, forwarded this news to Yang Wei.

[Young Master Yang, the one that followed the aircraft carrier out of port last time really seemed to be a small fishing boat.]

[And its combat capability was quite strong. Looking at this news, I strongly suspect the vessel that earned these merits is that small fishing boat.]

"Damn it! Why can a small fishing boat also have a place in an aircraft carrier formation!"

"You hurry up and investigate this for me. Give me an answer by tomorrow night."

Yang Wei replied after seeing the message.

The beautiful secretary Sun Meizi replied: "Okay, Young Master Yang. I'm going to sleep now. I'll investigate tomorrow and will definitely reply to you by night."

Yang Wei lay on his large bed. Wearing a bathrobe, he glanced at Sun Meizi's avatar—dressed in professional office lady attire, wearing glasses, with a graceful figure. She was his former university classmate. At the company, she was known for being aloof and elegant, but in front of him, she could be ordered around at will.

Looking at Sun Meizi's avatar, he habitually replied.

[Don't sleep yet. Send me a pic of your X and tender X before you sleep.]

After clicking send...

He simply tossed his phone aside.

And went to take a shower.

Planning to come back and admire Sun Meizi's charm after bathing.

But he completely failed to notice that he had misread the chat and had actually sent this sentence to his university classmate group chat.

At this moment, Sun Meizi was chatting about skincare with university classmates in the group while also conversing with Yang Wei.

Suddenly seeing Yang Wei's sentence in the university group, she was so startled she jolted.

"Holy crap, how did you send that to the university classmate group?!!!"

Terrified, she hurriedly called Yang Wei!

But!

He had already gone to take a shower.

The call simply couldn't get through.

Staring at that sentence in the group chat, she began to feel dizzy.

"This has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me."

She silently prayed in her heart that no one had seen it.

However!

A few seconds after that sentence appeared...

There was just a moment of silence.

After everyone was momentarily stunned, they were all waiting for Yang Wei to recall the message.

If he recalled it, everyone could pretend nothing had happened.

However.

Yang Wei had gone to shower. A full minute passed, and he hadn't recalled it.

Thus.

The university classmate group chat began to explode.

The male class monitor was the first to send a question mark: [What's going on, Young Master Yang? Was your account hacked?]

The male study committee member sent a facepalm emoji: [I just had eye surgery. What are you all talking about? I didn't see anything.]

The male sports committee member looked shy: [Shy jpg!]

The female arts committee member sent a peach emoji: [Is it possible Young Master Yang meant to say 'peach and tender leaf'?]

The middle-aged homeroom teacher sent a smiling emoji: [Young people, take care of your health.]

The math class representative said with a straight face: [Given two Xs, solve this one-variable, one-time equation.]

Jiang Chen: [Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!]

[Pfft! Haha, what a godly one-variable, one-time equation!]

By the time Yang Wei realized what had happened...

It was already fifteen minutes later.

Yang Wei, looking at the nearly exploding messages on his phone, was also dumbfounded.

When he finally found the source of all this evil, he staggered, almost falling over.

But he was no ordinary person.

He quickly composed himself.

He hurriedly forced himself to reply calmly.

[Sorry, classmates. My account was hacked. I just had a friend from the Longan Department help me recover it.]

Seeing Yang Wei finally reply, Sun Meizi...

Immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to reply: [So that's what happened! Good that you got your account back!]

[Yes, yes, as long as the account is safe, after all, it's linked to many bank cards!]

[These account hackers nowadays are really unethical. Thankfully, Young Master Yang has the capability to recover it promptly.]

Many classmates chimed in agreement.

The matter in the university group chat was thus suppressed.

But someone, no one knows who, posted screenshots of this online.

Instantly, the internet erupted with another wave of uproarious laughter.

[Hacked? Are you insulting my Nanshan Pizza Hut ( Note: Pizza Hut is Pizza Hut, but here likely refers to Tencent's legal team, jokingly called 'Nanshan Pizza Hut' for their high win rate in Nanshan District court)?]

[Within a few minutes, first contacted the Longan Department, then contacted Pizza Hut? Such great power! Investigate what this guy does! Who gave him this authority!]

[Exactly! The Longan Department isn't somewhere you can just find someone whenever you want!]

[@Longan Department @Nanshan Pizza Hut, request a thorough investigation!]
