Chapter 1324 A New World
“Even with that, you still can"t prove that the energy came from Li Yinfei"s group. Miss Li had all the relevant doc.u.ments required to leave the port. There was also no problem detected when she pa.s.sed through the customs. I can"t attack a ship just because you suspect it without any evidence. The owner of this ship is the dream lover of all soldiers, Miss Li Yinfei. I can"t anyhow attack it,” the senior officer of the ground service team replied indifferently.
“However, she refused to stop when we requested her to. There"s obviously something amiss.” The senior colonel was indignant.
“Maybe Miss Li lost control of the ship or she just wanted to have a thrill ride.” The senior officer shrugged and continued, “We can"t prove that she was in the wrong so we must consider all possibilities.”
“You"re making excuses for her.” The senior colonel pointed at the senior officer furiously. He didn"t expect the senior officer of the ground service team to speak up for Li Yinfei so openly.
“First, prove that your detector didn"t make a mistake. Prove that the domain concept energy you detected really came from Miss Li"s group. If not… I"ll report your groundless accusations to the military.” This senior officer of the ground service team was the person in charge of the safety of Planet General. As someone who managed to climb to this position, he wasn"t a simple person. Thus, he didn"t flinch due to the senior colonel"s criticism.
The unyielding att.i.tude of the other party woke the senior colonel up. He flicked his sleeve and said, “I"ll report to the military too. You should think about how you will explain your actions.”
“You don"t have to worry about that. I followed the regulations perfectly. I have nothing to be afraid of.” The senior officer sneered. The other party had connections but he had his own connections too. He wasn"t afraid of them.
In the end, they ended on a sour note. The battle of justice between the two teams lasted for a long time. In the end, both parties were punished equally.
As for the Li family, they received the news Li Lanfeng sent to them from the virtual world so they hid Li Yinfei. They would think of a way to release Li Yinfei after everything calmed down or find a way to fetch ‘Li Yinfei" back from Planet General.
In the main house of the Li family, the family head, Li Hongji, who was the grandfather of the three brothers from the Li family, waved his hand indifferently when he heard the report of what happened on Planet General. He allowed his men to carry on with their plans.
This was the main study room of the Li family household. It was filled with books of all subjects from all eras. The Li family could proudly say that, besides the national library, no other place had as many books as them. You could not see the end of the ma.s.sive number of bookcases and books at one glance.
Only members of the main Li family were able to enter the main study room. This was because the genealogical tree of the Li family was hidden there. There were more than a million books on the genealogical tree of the Li family. Of course, ever since the mainframe was invented, everything was recorded in the mainframe. However, the Li family still left a written record of it. This habit lasted until today.
There was only one person in the huge study room so it was extremely quiet.
In actual fact, besides Li Hongji, none of the people from his generation or the younger generations liked this place. They felt that this place was lifeless.
Li Hongji sat on a sofa beside a bookcase silently for a few minutes. Suddenly, he laughed. It was a gut-wrenching laugh.
“Li Mulan, Li Mulan. As expected of the inheritor I have high hopes of. You schemed against the Li family outrightly so that I have to clean up the spilled milk for you.” Li Hongji smiled lightly. “Unfortunately, you"re still too young. Your schemes are too simple. There"s no standard to them. I"m really disappointed. The Supreme Commander Fate… it looks like I expected too much.”
Li Hongji closed his eyes and when he opened them after a while, his gaze turned sharp. “I"ll give you one more chance. I hope that after you escape with Ling Lan, you"ll grow smarter.”
Suddenly, malicious intent appeared on his face. He gave a look of contempt. But, soon, the look disappeared. Li Hongji returned back into the calm and composed family head of the Li family.
After leaving Planet General, Ling Lan and her comrades pa.s.sed through many abandoned wormholes (In the past, Little Four liked to find wormholes that had been abandoned for more than a thousand years. He would record all the wormholes on a map. It was a hobby of his in the past but now, it helped Ling Lan and her comrades to escape). They managed to evade the tracking from the Federation and left the planetary sector of the Federation at the least expected moment, entering the public planetary sector.
Then they went to the s.p.a.ce station where the 7th Bugle Call was undergoing maintenance. The trip took around one month.
Tian Fang, who was waiting agitatedly for their return, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them safe and sound. Ling Lan and her comrades returned the cruise ship to Captain Old Lin and his crew.
After Ling Lan left Planet General, Elder Brother Kun, Old Lin, and the other people slowly regained their consciousness. Of course, there was nothing they could do too. The cruise ship was controlled by Ling Lan. They could only cooperate with her obediently.
When Ling Lan returned the cruise ship to them, Old Lin and his crew were stunned by the kind gesture. However, they felt that it was understandable too.
This was because they saw the 7th Bugle Call. The 7th Bugle Call had changed its looks completely. The characteristic of the Destruction Devil couldn"t be seen but under the meticulous transformation by the commander of the s.p.a.ce station, it looked extremely beautiful. A single glance was enough to know that this was a powerful starship.
There were numerous holes around its body. They were all covered up but at a close distance, the holes could still be seen faintly. When Elder Brother Kun and Old Lin thought about the cannons hidden within all these holes, they felt a chill down their spine. One round of firing was enough to turn their cruise ship into a ball of fireworks.
And that was just the side missiles. If the side missiles were already so powerful, the main cannons must be even stronger. Based on the size of the starship, there were at least 50 main cannons. The main cannons were hidden very well so they couldn"t gauge the number.
The price of these weapons was enough to buy at least three of their cruise ships. The equipment inside and the number of crew must be ten times, or even more than a hundred times as numerous compared to them.
Someone with such an impressive starship wouldn"t care about their shabby cruise ship.
Under Elder Brother Kun and Old Lin"s reluctant gaze, the 7th Bugle Call took off. It flew towards a new world none of them had been to before.
It was a place filled with powerful people fighting for power. It was a messy place that had no peace. It was a place filled with dangers.
However, likewise, it was a place full of opportunities.
Lawless Lands, here we come.
