Ever since the harsh training started, a short whip was always in Ling Lan’s hand. These short whips were prepared by Luo Chao and Han Xuya. Ling Lan liked the feeling of holding them so she would play around with them even when there was no need to use them.
Suddenly, a flash of white light landed on her right shoulder. Little White looked at everyone with its cute puppy eyes, warming the cold aura around Ling Lan a little. Just a little.
Ling Lan scanned the crowd with her intense gaze. The soldiers from the base felt as though an ice knife was cutting into their flesh. Those that were weaker had to take a step back before they could withstand the intimidating aura.
When she noticed that all the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan were standing near the entrance of the canteen, she frowned. “What happened?”
Li Lanfeng had been watching the show the entire time so he hurried forward and told Ling Lan what had happened in the canteen when she had not arrived yet.
Ling Lan nodded slightly. After Li Lanfeng finished recounting, she waved her silver short whip and knocked it on her left palm. She said coldly, “In that case, Qi Long and Li Yingjie will be responsible for this matter.”
Qi Long and Li Yingjie’s expressions froze. Their Boss wanted them to solve their own problems, but... Song Yiqing was not an easy person to deal with.
However, the two of them quickly forgot about Song Yiqing. They believed that if they really couldn’t handle him, their Boss would definitely not leave them to the wolves, so there was no need to be afraid!
Du Mingyi was shocked when he saw how respectful Qi Long was towards his regiment commander. He got even more vigilant. He wondered who this regiment commander was. How was he able to have a prince of the Federation like Qi Long bow down to him?
Du Mingyi gathered his thoughts and smiled. “Regiment Commander Ling, you are finally here. Please have a seat.”
Although his actual rank was higher than Ling Lan, a regiment commander of an ace mecha clan had the same status as him in the army. He didn’t know Ling Lan’s background so to be on the safe side, he chose to be polite first.
Ling Lan handed her short whip to Li Lanfeng, and Little White obediently jumped onto Li Lanfeng’s shoulder. Ling Lan tilted her body and stretched her hand out in front of her body.
Du Mingyi smiled and walked into the cafeteria with Ling Lan side to side. When they started to walk away from the entrance, the logisticians of the base cleared up the broken tables and set up new tables. Soon, no signs of a fight could be seen in the canteen. The atmosphere was harmonious again. It was as though nothing had happened.
Lin Zhong-qing saw this and nodded his head secretly. ‘The logisticians at this base are quite efficient.’
“What are you looking at?” Li Yingjie suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him indifferently and walked away without replying.
“Hey, why are you ignoring me?” Li Yingjie asked in a sad tone.
Lin Zhong-qing looked back at him and saw a Li Yingjie who was like a puppy that didn’t manage to get praised by its master.
Lin Zhong-qing’s heart turned soft. He replied, “You did a good job of being arrogant.”
Li Yingjie immediately smiled brightly in response to his praise. His aura also turned radiant and lively.
Lin Zhong-qing was so moved by that smile that he started to doubt himself. ‘When Li Yingjie forced me to enter his team in the past, was it really because he wanted to humiliate me? Or did Li Yingjie just want a friend?’
Lin Zhong-qing smiled. ‘It doesn’t matter now does it, Aren’t I under Boss now?’ He never regretted his decision. Lin Zhong-qing looked at the firm back of Ling Lan. Ling Lan was someone strong and well-respected. He believed that if he followed Boss Lan, he would stand at the top one day.
Li Shiyu was speechless when he saw Li Yingjie’s stupid smile. He felt that Li Yingjie was embarrassing the Li family. He nudged Li Lanfeng with his elbow and pointed at their stupid little brother.
Li Lanfeng smiled when he saw this. He mouthed two words to Li Shiyu, “Fatal Attraction.”
The people from the Li family always had this strange ability. It was proven throughout all their generations but no one understood why it happened. The descendants of the Li family would always find a good buddy that would go through thick and thin with him. From the looks of it, Li Yingjie had luckily found his buddy. They hoped that the two of them would be able to become good friends that would help each other through life-or-death.
Li Lanfeng knew that since Li Shiyu wouldn’t take over the Li family as the family head, Li Yingjie was the best candidate for the family head. However, once he becomes the family head, he would be exposed to all kinds of deception and plots, preventing him from being able to lead a simple life anymore. If he was able to get Lin Zhong-qing as his best buddy, he would be able to cross through those kinds of problems without too much of a concern.
Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan. ‘I found my best buddy too, right? I am really lucky.’
Li Shiyu looked at Li Yingjie and then looked back at his eldest cousin brother who was staring at their regiment commander. He turned envious. ‘They had all found their best buddies. What about me?’ Li Shiyu looked around at all the familiar faces. Yet, none of them gave him that feeling. Li Shiyu suddenly clicked his tongue then laughed at his greed. Not everyone in the Li family was able to find their best buddy. His father was an instance of someone who didn’t. Maybe he inherited his father’s fate.
Han Jijyun slowly moved towards Qi Long. Qi Long had a bitter expression on his face and said, “Jijyun, help me think of a way out.” Luckily, he had someone to rely on.
“What do you think?” Han Jijyun glared at him. ‘You have already provoked the person. What else can you do?’
“Do I have to evade that bastard the next time I see him?” Qi Long was frustrated. That was not his style.
“Did you forget what our Boss said? 250 Ace Mecha Clan was going to the top. It will not be a small fry.” Han Jijyun reminded his good friend. He felt that there was an underlying meaning behind the order of the arrival of the teams.
“Do you mean...” Qi Long’s eyes lit up.
Han Jijyun mouthed, “Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.” Song Yiqing was the chicken. He believed that Li Lanfeng understood this too. That was probably why he stopped Luo Lang, Xie Yi, Zhao Jun, and the rest of the team leaders that wanted to stop Qi Long just now. He allowed the commotion to become bigger and even used Li Yingjie to expose Qi Long’s identity.
This was done to create a hype around Qi Long. It would lay the foundation for him to subdue Song Yiqing in the future. It had to be said that every single step they made had been calculated by their Boss. Han Jijyun had to think carefully about his Boss’s intentions in case he understood it wrongly and created trouble for his Boss.
