Liu Furong gave a bitter smile at Aunt Liu who still seemed confused. He told her the truth about him impersonating as Liu Zhongguo.Ling Lan tapped the handle of her chair with her fingers. Liu Furong finished what he wanted to say and waited agitatedly for his final judgement.
Ling Lan turned and looked at Aunt Liu who seemed shocked by what Liu Furong said. She said gently, "Aunt Liu, what do you think?" The one who was fooled was Aunt Liu. She needed to listen to her opinion on the matter too.
Aunt Liu looked at Liu Furong with a complicated expression. She never expected him to be a fake Liu Zhongguo. The real Liu Zhongguo had died long ago. She thought back about the hardship she had suffered and didn"t know what to do too.
Hence, when she heard Ling Lan"s voice, she looked at her pleadingly. Ling Lan"s gentle gaze calmed her heart.
"How could I just my hardships go to waste?" Aunt Liu cried and smiled at the same time. "Regiment commander, I"ll listen to you."
She couldn"t bear to hate this man but she didn"t want to forgive him so easily too. Since she couldn"t do anything to him, it"s better for her to pa.s.s him to the young man who could control everything.
Ling Lan stood up when she heard this. She looked at Liu Furong coldly and slowly held her hands together. Her knuckles cracked. Liu Furong felt his heart pounding when he heard those sounds.
"Is he going to die?" He suddenly missed the other team leaders. If they were here, they would definitely plead for him and ask their regiment commander to punish him lightly.
Bang! Ling Lan pressed Liu Furong on the ground with her palm.
"Leader Liu, I hate lies. Yet, you lied to such a good lady…" Ling Lan"s cold voice appeared beside Liu Furong"s ears. It sounded like a voice from h.e.l.l. Ling Lan was really angry.
"I"m sorry, regiment commander." Liu Furong bore with the pain from the huge pressure and forced the words out of his mouth.
Bang! Ling Lan used her force of presence to slam Liu Furong onto the ground again. "You shouldn"t apologize to me."
"Cough!" Liu Furong coughed out a mouthful of blood. The force of presence of a domain realm master was not something a Qi-Jin master like him could bear with.
Liu Furong looked up into Aunt Liu"s eyes and spoke with much effort. "I"m sorry, Ah Yun. I lied to you. Please forgive me."
Little Aihua cried when she saw her father being beaten by Brother Jiang Hui until he vomited blood. She wanted to ask her Brother Jiang Hui to let her father off, but before she could plead Ling Lan, Aunt Liu hugged her.
Aunt Liu had tears in her eyes. Her heart ached when she saw Liu Furong injured but she knew that Ling Lan punished him for her sake. How could she waste his effort because of her soft-heartedness? She was not an innocent girl who didn"t know what was happening anymore.
Ling Lan looked at Aunt Liu in admiration. No wonder she was able to raise two good and righteous children all alone. This woman had her own opinions and morals. Her heart wouldn"t waver just because of a few words. It was just like how she didn"t interfere with her punishment after she decided to let Ling Lan handle it.
Ling Lan started to admire this lady even more. No wonder Little Aijun and Little Aihua were so obedient and thoughtful.
However, the greater her admiration for Aunt Liu, the greater her rage towards Liu Furong. The bandages on her wrist suddenly loosen apart and tied Liu Furong up.
"Aunt Liu, don"t worry. I"ll give you an answer." Ling Lan disappeared from the room along with Liu Furong.
w.a.n.g Baozhuang turned to Aunt Liu and asked with a pale face, "Is this fine?" He was really scared by Ling Lan"s dominating aura and vicious methods. He didn"t dare to say anything in her presence. After she left, he felt the pressure on his body disappearing.
"What"s wrong with it?" Aunt Liu replied calmly. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d would not bully them only if he knew how painful the consequences would be.
From Liu Furong"s statement, Aunt Liu knew Liu Furong was not Liu Zhongguo. He was not someone who had nothing. He had the capabilities and the merits of a high achieving soldier. He was a perfect man in every aspect. If he didn"t come to Planet Muyang to protect w.a.n.g Qi, she wouldn"t have the chance to marry him.
When she was young, she dreamt about meeting her prince charming. However, now, Aunt Liu recognize the reality of her situation. Without a matching status and ident.i.ty, she wouldn"t be able to protect her marriage and her children. She needed to find someone whom the man was afraid of as her backing. Without a doubt, Ling Lan was the best option for that role.
After becoming a mother, Aunt Liu didn"t have fantasies of a young girl anymore. Instead, she became more decisive and knew what was best for her and her children.
w.a.n.g Baozhuang suddenly understood what she meant. He gasped. In the past, Liu Furong chose to marry Aunt Liu because she was gentle, virtuous and obedient. Well, she was indeed gentle and virtuous but she wasn"t an obedient lady anymore. When she was angry, she was even fiercer than all those dominating ladies out there.
w.a.n.g Baozhuang silently groaned for Liu Furong. He could almost see how Liu Furong would obey his wife in the future. Fortunately, he was smart in the past, so he didn"t find a wife. Hence, he didn"t need to suffer like him.
As Ling Lan stepped into the first secret room, the scent of blood wafted into her face. She walked inside and saw Yi Hao"s corpse on the ground with blood splattered all over the ground.
She frowned in disdain. She flicked her finger and the entire room turned into ice. She flicked her finger again and all the ice turned into dust, making the room look as if nothing had happened in there.
"Leader Liu, you have only one chance. You decided on your own life or death." Ling Lan moved her arm and the bandages unwrapped itself from Liu Furong"s body. Liu Furong was then thrown into the middle of the room.
Liu Furong landed on the ground firmly. He wiped the drip of blood on the corner of his mouth. He didn"t understand what Ling Lan meant.
"Your enemy has complete control of the entire 3rd Division. Even if it"s not the Third Marshal, it must be someone beside him who holds real power." Ling Lan raised her right hand and the bandage rolled back on her wrist. "You are currently not strong enough to resist against such a person. In front of him, you can only die. What happened today is an instance of that. If I didn"t come here coincidentally, you would be dead."
Liu Furong nodded. His regiment commander was right.
"I don"t want to watch you die…" Killing intent appeared in Ling Lan"s eyes. "I don"t allow my men to die in the hands of other people. If that has to happen, I rather kill you myself."
"You have been at the optimal peak of Qi-Jin for more than ten years now. If you can"t find an opportunity to break through now, you"ll die. I"ll take care of Aunt Liu and your children for you if that happens." Ling Lan calmly told Liu Furong that she would take care of his family after he died.
After she finished speaking, an intense blood aura exuded out from Ling Lan"s body. This blood aura was almost black in color. Ever since Ling Lan came back from the battlefield, her devil blood aura reached new heights.
This frightening devil blood aura caused Liu Furong to take three steps back. He could clearly feel that his regiment commander wanted to kill him. He wasn"t lying.
