From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!

Chapter 479: Chapter 233: The Third Person (Part 2)

As one of the direct heirs of the Qian Family, Qian Chen was born into a prestigious family, with outstanding and impressive talents. Among his peers, his abilities swept through the entire Galan Academy. He seemed like heaven’s favored child, possessing every advantage! Many people thought so, and he believed it too... until that event, which could be described as despairing, occurred. Before that, Qian Chen was the pride of the Qian Family and a rising star in everyone’s eyes.

Qian Chen’s gaze became distant, as if he had returned to those spirited years.

People held great expectations for Qian Chen, and he didn’t let down his family’s nurturing. After graduating from the Galan Academy, he began to join the military in the Galaxy, starting as the lowest-ranked soldier and steadily yet boldly advancing, breaking through like a hot knife through butter.

The military situation in the Galaxy was quite different compared to other star systems; the rank advancement was slower and more challenging than in places like Xilena.

Because the Galaxy is close to the center of the Human Alliance, the adjacent star systems are like family, with nearly no friction with foreign races.

No wars, few military achievements, so naturally, the advancement of ranks would be slow. Moreover, the Qian Family, to which Qian Chen belonged, was not purely a military family but had entered the military through politics, naturally facing resistance from several other families within the military.

Even so, Qian Chen’s promotion in the Galaxy remained swift, and neither rival families nor political enemies could completely suppress him. They used every trick conceivable, and although Qian Chen occasionally fell for them, he eventually turned every peril into safety.

However, Qian Chen never imagined that his seemingly bright future was fraught with hurdles and thorns, death traps lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to fall into them unawares, meeting a violent end! In the end, Qian Chen stumbled, stumbled at the hands of the Qian Family!

"In my father’s generation, there were three brothers and two sisters in total. My father, being the eldest son, was the most qualified one to inherit the family legacy. However... my second uncle was ambitious, making significant moves in the political arena, pulling strings and forming cliques everywhere, with considerable influence. The third uncle was obsessed with painting, spending all his time with art supplies, seemingly the least ambitious person..."

When Qian Chen mentioned the third uncle, Su Jiameng could hear the sound of gritted teeth.

Because the one currently in charge of the Qian Family was Qian Chen’s third uncle, a man with the graceful aura of an artist. Qian Chen’s third uncle, being born late, was similar in age to Qian Chen, and the two grew up together as a pair of "inseparable uncle and nephew".

Qian Chen could never have expected that the one hiding in the deepest shadows, like a viper waiting for the opportune moment, was not the ambitious second uncle, but the third uncle he had never suspected! He didn’t even know when his third uncle developed his ambition!

"That day was meant to be my wedding with Tong’er... she and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. Even though it wasn’t love, it was still possible for us to be partners for life." Qian Chen slightly closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, and said, "Of course, by that time, I had already obtained the rank of Lieutenant General, and grandfather planned to bypass my father and directly pass the title of Family Head to me..."

From the beginning, Old Sir Qian never intended to consider his three sons: the eldest son was too honest and conservative, the second son was too ambitious and prone to rebellion, and the third son was always engaged in art and couldn’t be entrusted with great responsibilities! None of his sons were suitable, but the grandchildren were all talented, and Qian Chen was the heir Old Sir Qian had set his eyes on long ago, and this grandson did not disappoint his expectations...

"Mr. Qian... seemed to have suddenly suffered a heart attack and passed away on the wedding day..." Su Jiameng frowned, thinking about the findings of her investigation. Heart attacks weren’t immediately fatal diseases even during the Earth Era, not to mention in the Future Interstellar! Though Mr. Qian belonged to the grandfather’s generation, in this era, he was still considered robust.

"Yes, grandfather died so suddenly, so suddenly that he didn’t have the chance to express his last wishes." Qian Chen continued, "The wedding turned into the day of mourning for grandfather’s death, and naturally, it couldn’t proceed. However, the second uncle suddenly challenged my father, accusing him of having ulterior motives and murdering grandfather because grandfather hadn’t left his last will, the rightful heir should be my father, being the eldest son..."

"My father, with his pride, naturally couldn’t tolerate such slander. The second uncle somehow produced evidence, accusing my father of being the murderer who killed grandfather to seize the ultimate inheritance of the Qian Family, even threatening to arrest my father and bring him to justice!"
