“That"s not the problem. Most importantly, how are we going to leave Planet General without Lingtian?” Li Lanfeng brought forward the cruel reality to their attention. They were stuck on Planet General without being able to board the commercial starships.
Even if they managed to get on a starship, they wouldn"t be able to hide their ident.i.ties using their disguise or their domain concepts. The mainframe would see through their disguise quickly. Using their domain concept was a good idea but now, the military had a device that was able to detect their domain concept energy. This path of retreat was crossed out.
“Wait,” Ling Lan replied calmly.
“Wait?” Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan in surprise. Being pa.s.sive wasn"t Ling Lan"s style. He always liked to seek opportunities.
“On the way to Planet General, I accidentally saw something interesting.” Ling Lan smiled when she saw Li Lanfeng"s astonished gaze. Normally, the smile would make Ling Lan"s aura warmer but Li Lanfeng felt that her smile seemed a little devilish.
His instinct told him that he shouldn"t ask Ling Lan what she was talking about. However, even though he didn"t ask, someone else would. The equally confused Luo Lang asked naturally, “What is it?”
Ling Lan lifted her right hand slowly and pointed at Li Lanfeng. The smile on her face got brighter. “Li Yinfei.”
“Ah!” Luo Lang turned to look at Li Lanfeng. He remembered the first time he saw Li Lanfeng"s real appearance. He was so dumbfounded he asked his boss if he brought Li Yinfei back to be his third wife.
Back then, his boss just replied to him with a forceful knock on his head. Fortunately, Li Lanfeng also had a good temper so he just smiled at him and didn"t get angry. Luo Lang felt that if someone thought he was a woman and even took him as someone"s wife, he might have beaten the person up badly.
So, from that moment onwards, Luo Lang had a really good impression of Li Lanfeng. He felt that Li Lanfeng was a very good person and was very forgiving.
This was Luo Lang"s own thoughts. If his comrades knew about this, they would snort, and snort, and continue snorting. Then, they would release a thesis of at least 5000 words about hypocrites. They would warn Luo Lang against judging a book by its cover and asked him to be aware of a wolf in sheep"s clothing. Li Lanfeng was a perfect example of such a person.
Li Lanfeng felt the corners of his lips twitching. As expected, Ling Lan"s smile was full of evil intentions. However, what Ling Lan hinted allowed Li Lanfeng to understand what she wanted to do.
“I remember that Li Yinfei is going to attend the ceremony celebrating the return of the soldiers.” Li Lanfeng didn"t like Li Yinfei but as a strategist, he mustn"t let go of any factor he could exploit.
“It"ll happen three days later.” Ling Lan stood up and walked to the window. Through the gaps of the curtains, she could see the pa.s.ser-bys walking outside. She continued calmly, “Now, we must think of a way to let her apply to leave Planet General as soon as possible after the ceremony ends.”
Li Lanfeng squinted his eyes as he contemplated. “Subst.i.tuting one for another.”
“Yes!” Li Yinfei had her own personal starship. After Ling Lan"s ident.i.ty was exposed, she came up with this idea. After all, there was a real Li Yinfei beside her. The military didn"t know this so this was their best chance to leave Planet General.
The two of them smiled at each other. They understood each other without the need for words. Only Luo Lang remained confused. They only spoke a few words and they were already starting to act? He felt that he was still in the dark.
Soon, the Lingtian Independent Army received a summon for a questioning from the military headquarters. Why didn"t they inform the military headquarters of Ling Lan and the other two people"s presence on Planet General?
The people who partic.i.p.ated in this matter answered with only one statement. They just state that they didn"t know their commander was here. Hence, they didn"t conceal his presence.
The headquarters pointed out that Ling Lan and the two other people were disguised as three JMCs from their army. The moment this was mentioned, the representative from Lingtian flipped the script and lashed out at the representative from the headquarters.
The representative from Lingtian said that they had already received the report from their logistics department. They already knew that three JMCs were missing so they informed their soldiers, who were shopping outside, to look for them. However, there was no news after a few days worth of searching. They were already preparing to report this matter to the headquarters to seek their help in finding the three JMCs.
Han Jijyun changed his pa.s.sive style of doing things and directly reprimanded the headquarters. Did their JMCs get in danger because the security on Planet General wasn"t tight enough? Once this question was asked, everyone in Lingtian turned furious at the same time. All of them demanded an answer from the headquarters within 24 hours. If not, the Lingtian Independent Army wouldn"t let them off so easily.
The people from Lingtian denied the accusation and insisted that the three JMCs were real. In the past, Little Four created some fake soldier ident.i.ties in Lingtian so that Ling Lan was able to do some dirty work with them. Hence, the mainframe was unable to detect any loopholes in the system. It couldn"t find any evidence to prove that the three JMCs were fake or problematic so the headquarters couldn"t do anything about Lingtian"s accusations. They knew that there was something wrong with the Lingtian Independent Army but they couldn"t force them to answer their questions when their backs were against the wall.
This was because Lingtian wasn"t a normal independent army. It was the independent army of Ling Xiao"s only son, Ling Lan. The death of Ling Xiao and the disappearance of Ling Lan caused everyone to place their attention on the Lingtian Independent Army. If the military forced the Lingtian Independent Army, Lingtian just needed to appear wronged and the public would misunderstand the military, thinking that they were trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the things that belonged to Ling Xiao and Ling Lan while they were gone.
The military indeed had this intention but they couldn"t be too obvious with it. If not, they would cause public discontent. They might even lose their positions if Lingtian and the public worked together to push the matter.
In the end, the people from the military headquarters left Lingtian dishearteningly. This matter was pushed aside but the surveillance over Lingtian got even tighter. They believed that Ling Lan and her group were hiding on Planet General. At the same time, they kept a close watch of all the starships at the s.p.a.ceport to prevent Ling Lan from having any chances of leaving.
At this moment, Han Xuya ran over anxiously. She shouted at Qi Long and the other people, “This is bad. Little White is missing.”
“How did it go missing?” Qi Long jumped up from his seat and asked loudly.
“Luo Chao and I were talking about Boss. We said that Boss most likely won"t return to Lingtian. Then Little White jumped up and ran away.” Han Xuya felt frustrated. “I misspoke in front of it. I forgot that Little White understands human language.”
Luo Chao was a step slower than Han Xuya. She ran in too.
