Ling Lan smiled as she looked at him. She didn"t deny it nor admit it. This ambiguous expression made Yi Hao doubtful of his guess. He didn"t know if his guess was right.Just as Yi Hao was contemplating about the ident.i.ty of Ling Lan, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He immediately leaped back. Prime Minister Lu did the same thing. The two of them then attacked the air in front of them simultaneously.
Bang! Due to their attack, the air in front of them exploded. Ice shards flew everywhere and scattered throughout the secret room.
"Ah!" Aunt Liu pointed to the people around her and screamed.
w.a.n.g Baozhuang quickly realized that those people who were pointing their guns at Ling Lan had become ice statues. No wonder they didn"t continue shooting at them.
"Pretty good reaction time," Ling Lan stood up slowly.
This simple action caused Yi Hao and Prime Minister Lu to take a step back in fear. They prepared their stance to welcome a fight, but Ling Lan still put them under a lot of pressure.
Ling Lan flicked her fingers and the ice statues turned into dust after cracking apart. Yi Hao and Prime Minister Lu were in despair, as they faced the reality that they were going to die today.
Ling Lan turned her head to look at Liu Furong. His face was red. He looked awkward.
"Leader Liu, do I need to greet you personally?" Ling Lan asked calmly.
Liu Furong stood up straight instinctively when he heard this voice. He saluted and said, "Regiment commander."
Aunt Liu covered her mouth in astonishment. She didn"t expect the young man who stayed at her house and whom she treated as her nephew to be the regiment commander that her husband admired.
w.a.n.g Baozhuang stared blankly at Ling Lan with a gaped mouth. He knew Liu Furong very well. Ever since w.a.n.g Junan died, Liu Furong never acknowledged any regiment commander even though he went into so many different mecha clans. But, based on his actions and expression just now, he was genuinely convinced by this young man in front of him.
Little Aihua looked at Ling Lan with stars in her eyes. In order for her invincible father to respect a person, he must be the most powerful person in the world.
Only w.a.n.g Qi was confused. His gaze jumped around as he looked at the people around him.
When Yi Hao heard Liu Furong"s salutation, he knew his guess was right. He glanced at Prime Minister Lu. Their eyes met and they rushed towards the door simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Two loud noises were heard. Yi Hao and Prime Minister Lu slammed back down to the ground.
This time however, Ling Lan didn"t do anything. She just blocked the entrance with an ice wall silently when she entered the room. The two people trying to escape didn"t even notice the transparent wall. By the time they saw it, it was already too late. They were knocked back into the room.
Ling Lan walked to Prime Minister Lu and placed her forefinger on his forehead. Prime Minister Lu started trembling in fear as he gave a look of despair. He thought that Ling Lan was about to kill him.
A cold aura was felt on his forehead. It was a frightening feeling. Prime Minister Lu closed his eyes and waited for his death. However, the ice cold finger suddenly left his forehead.
"You should know what to do and what not to do." Ling Lan wasn"t planning to kill a prime minister. The military would take notice if a prime minister from a planet suddenly disappeared or died. Ling Lan was able to clear the traces she left behind but she didn"t want to cause too much trouble to the people of this planet.
Prime Minister Lu understood that his life was spared. He nodded his head furiously to express that he knew what to do. He didn"t know why Ling Lan was bold enough to spare him but he wasn"t stupid to ask for the reason why.
"As for you…" Ling Lan looked at Yi Hao who was feeling hopeful. She called, "Leader Liu."
"Yes, regiment commander!" Liu Furong maintained his position of attention. He didn"t dare to move a single inch.
"Solve your own problem." Ling Lan didn"t want to interfere with Liu Furong"s personal affairs.
"Yes, regiment commander!" Liu Furong looked at her gratefully. It was time to end the grudges between him and Yi Hao.
"Is there another room?" Ling Lan asked Prime Minister Lu.
Prime Minister Lu nodded hurriedly. Ling Lan brought Aunt Liu, w.a.n.g Baozhuang, w.a.n.g Qi, and Liu Aihua to another room. She left this room for Liu Furong and Yi Hao.
After some time, Liu Furong walked out of the room with blood all over his body. A man who had a pale face and was shivering furiously stood outside the entrance.
"Prime Minister Lu?" Liu Furong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Prime Minister Lu was drenched in sweat. He looked at Liu Furong and opened his mouth. He forced his words out of his throat. "What kind of person is Regiment Commander Ling?"
"Didn"t you see it just now?" Liu Furong sneered. "Don"t think about resisting against him. He"ll let you understand what a living h.e.l.l is like."
Prime Minister Lu gave a bitter smile. He did try to run away just now when he was waiting for Liu Furong based on Ling Lan"s order. However, the moment this thought appeared in his head, his head started hurting tremendously. Something seemed to be swallowing his spiritual power. He finally understood where that sense of danger came from. No wonder Ling Lan wasn"t afraid that he would betray them.
Even if Ling Lan didn"t explain it to him explicitly, he knew that if he revealed anything about Ling Lan, that thing would swallow his entire mindscape.
How frightening!
Liu Furong followed Prime Minister Lu and came to another secret room. Inside the room, Little Aihua, w.a.n.g Qi, Aunt Liu, and w.a.n.g Baozhuang were sitting down and having some tea, only Ling Lan had her eyes closed on the side. She seemed to be resting.
When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes. She looked at Prime Minister Lu knowingly. That intent gaze made Prime Minister Lu lower his head in shame.
Ling Lan shifted her gaze to Liu Furong. She asked calmly, "Have you resolved it?"
"Yes," Liu Furong replied in grat.i.tude. "Thank you, regiment commander." Without him, he wouldn"t have the chance to end his grudge with Yi Hao. He might not even be able to save the people he wanted to protect as well as his family.
"Well then, Leader Liu, how are you going to explain this?" Ling Lan looked at Aunt Liu. She just wanted to know how Leader Liu was able to chase Aunt Liu. She would never admit that she wanted to hear some gossips.
Liu Furong"s heart pumped faster when he saw Ling Lan"s stern face. He had violated the military rule. His regiment commander definitely wouldn"t let him off.
