1370 Going Side by Side!
All in all, the difference in treatment allowed these male underlings to understand that they were just random spurts of mud on the ground in Ling Lan’s eyes. Their two little sisters however, were viewed as precious treasures in Boss’s eyes.
With that in mind, the fact that Boss would be willing to send their precious little sisters onto the front-lines boggled Han Jijyun’s mind.
“Although Boss has protected Luo Chao and Han Jijyun very well in the past, have you not noticed the path Boss has arranged for them?” asked Qi Long.
The moment Qi Long said that, a lightbulb lit up in Han Jijyun’s mind as he immediately figured out why Boss had a sudden change of treatment towards their two little sisters.
“So Boss has been developing Luo Chao and Xuya from the very beginning,” said Han Jijyun.
“It’s just that the method he used to develop them is different than ours.” Qi Long slowly stood up from his seat. When the bright gleam of the eastern sun shone upon his face, he looked as though he was an ancient sage who was gleaming into the insight of the universe. “Forceful and conservative. Both very good methods.”
“Men are more suited to be trained with the forceful method. If I was told to train in the same way as Luo Chao and Xuya, I would definitely die from boredom.” Han Jijyun thought for a moment, and understood why there was such vast difference in treatment.
“This is what Boss decided early on,” Qi Long said calmly. “From the very beginning, Boss never planned to pamper Luo Chao and Xuya into weaklings who needed our protection. He wanted them to fight with us side by side.”
“I only submitted to Boss because he would never give up on any of us. He would shatter every perception of us and build us up to the top with him, this includes the supposedly ‘weak’ women.” Qi Long clenched his fists. At that moment, he discovered that compared to Boss, they were too inferior in every possible way.
While they were running in the front, their minds were filled with thoughts about Boss and their brothers, which one of them was thinking of the two little sisters who were lagging behind them?
Only Boss remembered that there were still two silhouettes running behind them. Those two wanted to catch up to them, but they didn’t know how to do that. In the end, they became saddened by that fact. It was Boss in the end who held their little sisters’ hands and helped them catch up step by step.
“Aren’t we all the same?” Han Jijyun walked beside Qi Long and stood shoulder to shoulder. “Sometimes I think we’re lucky to have such worthy Boss to put our trust in.”
Qi Long nodded. Right as he was about to say something, he saw two uninvited guests rus.h.i.+ng right past the guards, who tried to stop them, and got into his office.
“…Do you think Lingtian is part of the Flying Dragon Special Forces that you can come and go as you please?” Qi Long had a stern look on his face. When they were putting all their effort into preparing the supplies Boss needed, these two suddenly barged in here. This was definitely not a good sign.
“Tell us. Where are you going with all those supplies?” Mu Chaoran plopped down on the sofa with his leg propped up and got straight to the point.
“Hmph!” Qi Long suddenly had the urge to punch someone in the face. “Why are you still here?”
Mu Chaoran opened his hand and said, “Well, it can’t be helped. That one word you gave us didn’t give much information, so we can only monitor you to acquire more useful information.”
“Are you not afraid that we won’t have any information?” Qi Long was a bit annoyed.
“How’s that possible? You’re the brother-in-arms Lieutenant General Ling trusts the most. He would definitely contact you. It’s just a matter of how long it would take,” Mu Chaoran said confidently.
“In reality, everyone knows this. If it wasn’t for the Flying Dragon Special Forces, do you actually think your little operation here could deceive the surveillance of the military headquarters’ special ops team?” said Tang Ningyu, who sat on the side with an expressionless face, coldly.
In order to protect that person, they used all of their efforts and connections to lead those surveying around Lingtian’s base away. Of course, the main reason they could do that was because they had the chief’s full support in whatever they did. Otherwise, just the two of them, wouldn’t be able to deal with that many people.
“Alright, what do you want to know?” Qi Long walked to the front of Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu before sitting down forcefully on the seat opposite of them.
“Does Lieutenant General Ling need these supplies?” Tang Ningyu’s eyes looked straight at Qi Long. He wanted an answer to the question.
“That’s right,” Qi Long didn’t beat around the bush and instantly admitted to it.
Han Jijyun slightly raised his eyebrows. Although he didn’t know why Qi Long was so straightforward, he was still very trusting in Qi Long. He knew Qi Long definitely had some reasons for his decision, so he just stood on the side and watched on.
“We want to go where the supplies go.” Mu Chaoran leaned his body forward and placed one hand on the coffee table in front of them while he stared at Qi Long right into his eyes. His eyes were filled with an unwillingness to be rejected.
Hearing that, Qi Long just crossed his arms as he smiled cheekily.
“Don’t worry. The order we received is to protect, not anything else.” Tang Ningyu also leaned forward with a serious look on his face.
“I believe that, but after I let you go, you will lose everything you have by going there. You won’t have your name, your ident.i.ty, and there is a chance you might not come back in this lifetime. Are you sure you want to go?” asked Qi Long while laughing.
“When we took up this mission, we were already no longer part of the Flying Dragon Special Forces,” Mu Chaoran said in a serious tone.
The sudden statement shocked Qi Long. It was as though the chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces had predicted something like this would happen. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such arrangements beforehand.
“Alright, after two hours, the supplies will be fully loaded and the stars.h.i.+p will officially depart.” Qi Long didn’t deliberately try to make it difficult for Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, and just allowed them to go.
“That’s great.” Mu Chaoran excitedly clapped his hands. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, “Why did you let us go this easily? I thought you would ask us to promise something before allowing us to go.”
“Promise what?” Qi Long raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Such as making us promise to obey Lieutenant General Ling’s orders or to not do anything that could endanger Lieutenant General Ling,” said Mu Chaoran.
“Heh heh!” laughed Qi Long. “You actually think you can threaten Boss with your meagre strength? Plus, after getting to Boss and you still dare to defy him, then I can only say you’ve done living life.”
Qi Long’s words incited anger in Tang Ningyu. As a proud member of the Flying Dragon Special Forces, Tang Ningyu had a type of pride that Qi Long didn’t have. It was clear that Qi Long was looking down on them. That was why he let go so easily. It was because Qi Long was sure they definitely couldn’t be a threat to Ling Lan.
“Don’t be angry. I’m only speaking the truth. Despite how outstanding you are, compared to Boss, the difference is between night and day,” Qi Long said indifferently.
Right as Tang Ningyu was about to stand up and refute what Qi Long said, Mu Chaoran held him down. He smiled, but his eyes had a hint of coldness. He spoke to Qi Long, “I know Lieutenant General Ling is a one in a million prodigy from the heavens, so those words can perhaps only be said by Lieutenant General Ling. You on the other hand aren’t qualified…”
