That"s right. The position of the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan didn"t land in other people"s hands. Ling Lan was still the regiment commander.She was able to continue being the regiment commander because her father worked really hard to help her keep this position. Since Ling Lan didn"t want to leave the military, Ling Xiao would get what Ling Lan wanted even if he had to offend everyone in the military.
Plus, this position rightfully belonged to his daughter. Hence, when he fought for the position, he was very confident that he would give her what she wanted. His daughter risked her life to protect the people and the mecha clans, so how could he let other people take over what was rightfully hers?
However, Ling Xiao didn"t really win too. His actions caused the higher authorities to make the ultimate decision which ended in both sides having to suffer losses.
The higher authorities decided to remove 250 Ace Mecha Clan from the 23rd division. They wouldn"t be under Ling Xiao"s control anymore. As for which division they would go to, there was no confirmation yet.
Without General Ling Xiao protecting them, Ling Lan and her 250 Ace Mecha Clan would have an uncertain future. Someone with evil intentions could send them to a dangerous battlefield.
Thus, the battle for the 250 Ace Mecha Clan hadn"t ended yet. Ling Xiao was trying to let 250 Ace Mecha Clan get into a division under the First Marshal"s faction. If he had no other choice, he didn"t mind letting them into the 13th division.
Of course, the 13th division was his last trump card. He wouldn"t use it until the very last moment.
Before the military gave their order, 250 Ace Mecha Clan still belonged to the 23rd division. Once the order came, 250 Ace Mecha Clan would move to another division.
Only the higher authorities knew of this decision. This was why Zhou Yongnan"s old chief asked him to act within the next few days. Since they couldn"t get the entire big fish, they would split it up so no one would be able to get it whole.
But, they didn"t expect Ling Lan to come back so quickly. They also underestimated her capabilities. Her appearance ended their scheme before it could start.
Ling Lan walked into the cafeteria slowly. After walking pa.s.sed the mecha operators who were standing up straight, she came beside Li Lanfeng. Zhou Yongnan and the other people from his side were in front of her.
Li Lanfeng controlled his excitement and said in a low voice, "Regiment commander, you"re back."
With Ling Lan around, he didn"t feel empty anymore.
"Yes. What"s the matter?" Ling Lan asked in reply. She held her short whip in her right hand and pointed it at Zhou Yongnan.
Li Lanfeng smiled slightly. "New mecha operators!"
"They didn"t listen to your command?" Ling Lan appeared nonchalant. She looked as though she wanted to end this problem immediately.
Zhou Yongnan got agitated when he heard this. "Regiment commander, it"s not…"
Boom! Ling Lan waved her short whip. Zhou Yongnan flew out and slammed on the table at the side. He slid for a few meters before stopping.
He vomited a mouthful of blood. He looked at the cold regiment commander with fear. He didn"t expect this regiment commander to disregard the military rule and injure him before he could even say what he wanted to say.
Ling Lan glanced at him and said calmly, "I didn"t ask you."
Zhou Yongnan"s face turned pale. Although Ling Lan injured him, he didn"t break any military rules.
Ling Lan was a regiment commander and Li Lanfeng was a team leader. Although he was a regiment commander before he came to 250 Ace Mecha Clan, he was just a small little soldier now compared to the two people in front who were his superiors.
When his superiors were talking, soldiers like him didn"t have the right to express their opinion. If he opened his mouth, it was his mistake. Such a matter could be big or small depending on the officer. Most officers didn"t like making a ha.s.sle over such a small matter so they didn"t enforce the rule.
Hence, many soldiers forgot about this rule, even Zhou Yongnan forgot about it. However, with the help of Ling Lan"s reminder, he managed to recall his this rule clearly.
Ling Lan disregarded Zhou Yongnan after she said this. She turned to look at Li Lanfeng. "Continue!"
Li Lanfeng wasn"t as evil as Zhou Yongnan thought. He didn"t hide the truth. Instead, he told Ling Lan exactly what had happened and the cause of their gang fight.
"So they didn"t want to do it?" Ling Lan scanned the new mecha operators. The indifference in her eyes caused a chill up the spines of the mecha operators.
They recalled how Ling Lan attacked Zhou Yongnan. Everyone felt that they would be killed by this frightening regiment commander.
One of the lieutenant colonels couldn"t withstand the pressure anymore. He raised his hand and shouted, "I would like to leave the 250 Ace Mecha Clan."
This statement formed a domino effect in everyone. Many other mecha operators raised their hands and followed suit.
"I want to leave too."
"Me too."
"Me too!"
"I want to leave!"
These people had lost their confidence in front of this ruthless and powerful person whom they couldn"t defeat. If they continued staying here, they wouldn"t get what they wanted even if they scheme to the best of their abilities. In that case, why not leave. It was better than staying here and getting tortured.
Ling Lan looked at the new mecha operators coldly. She listened to them until the last person finished saying his request to leave.
The entire cafeteria turned silent. Everyone looked at Ling Lan as they waited for her reply.
Ling Lan smiled slowly. Then, she gave a burst of cold laughter.
She was mocking them.
The expressions of the new mecha operators changed drastically. When Li Lanfeng asked them to leave, they didn"t want to leave. Now, they couldn"t leave even if they wanted too.
"Since you came, there"s no need to leave." Ling Lan gave her final verdict. She was going to imprison these people in 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
The moment she finished speaking, she moved. The sounds of objects. .h.i.tting each other were heard. In a blink of an eye, all the new mecha operators fell on the ground. They were all vomiting blood.
"Regiment Commander Ling, aren"t you being a little overboard?" When Ling Lan appeared beside Li Lanfeng again, the leader from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee opened his mouth and said helplessly.
"I know that you don"t care about military rules but you can"t ignore us like that, right? How can you act right in front of us? Do you have to disregard us so blatantly?"
"Who are you?" The senior colonel went speechless when he heard Ling Lan"s reply.
Fortunately, Lin Zhong-qing quickly introduced him, and Ling Lan finally remembered who he was. It was the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee who always like to create problems out of nothing. "Oh, long time no see. What have you been busy with?"
"What have I been busy with? I"m busy with your affairs!" The senior colonel felt frustrated. Once again, he confirmed that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was his natural enemy. He would never come to 250 Ace Mecha Clan for any investigation ever again.
Senior Colonel Wen received another blow from Ling Lan so he left 250 Ace Mecha Clan decisively.
