Du Mingyi immediately remembered who this person was when he saw the military doctor attire. “The head of the medical department of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Major Li s.h.i.+yu.”
Li s.h.i.+yu raised both of his hands and clapped slowly. He smiled. “As expected of the commanding officer of our base. The details of everyone in the base is at the tip of your fingers.”
“What is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Ling Lan trying to do?” Du Mingyi gritted his teeth and asked.
Li s.h.i.+yu laughed when he heard this. “Senior Colonel Du, look at the situation now. Are you still trying to act dumb?”
Du Mingyi remained silent. He wanted the other party to admit it personally.
Li s.h.i.+yu suddenly cupped his hands behind his ears and leaned towards the door, listening attentively to the noise outside. When he heard that the noise outside had died down, he smiled gently. “It looks like your guards are down.”
The second he finished speaking, more than 50 members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan appeared at the various windows of the building. There were two people standing outside of each window and all of them had beam guns in their hands. They were aiming it at the people inside. Obviously, the entire command center was surrounded. Little Four knew exactly how many windows there were in the command center so Ling Lan gave Li s.h.i.+yu just the right amount of people.
“Senior Colonel Du, do you still not understand?” Li s.h.i.+yu mocked him.
“He will never be able to control the base! Never!” Du Mingyi couldn’t maintain his calm demeanor as a commanding officer. He started shouting furiously at Li s.h.i.+yu.
“Really?” Li s.h.i.+yu looked at Du Mingyi with a gaze filled with contempt. ‘Why does a wimp like him have the guts to scheme against their regiment commander? He is looking for death.’
“Without me, the mainframe will not listen to anyone. There is no way he can control the base.” Du Mingyi would never let them know that something had happened to the mainframe.
“Oh, really?” The contempt in Li s.h.i.+yu’s voice got more p.r.o.nounced. He snapped his fingers and the mainframe that had remained quiet all these while suddenly activated.
Du Mingyi’s expression quickly changed. He finally knew who was behind the mainframe failing. He stuttered in disbelief, “This is im, im, impossible.”
Although the mainframe of a base was a grade lower than the mainframe of the Federation it still couldn’t be easily hacked, even an ace hacker would need around four hours of continuous hacking to break its firewall. Plus, the hackers at his base were not weak too. Once someone hacked into their mainframe, they would immediately notice it and the defense mechanism of the mainframe would be heightened. With the help of the hackers from the base, it was impossible to hack into the mainframe within a short period of time. ‘Is Ling Lan a virtual G.o.d?’
“h.e.l.lo, I’m 013. What is your command?” The mainframe spoke after it got activated. Its voice was gentle and mechanical just like the other mainframes. However, the voice sounded a little like a child.
Li s.h.i.+yu was surprised. He didn’t expect the voice of Base 013’s mainframe to be like this.
Little Four, who controlled the mainframe of the base, was extremely arrogant. ‘How could that stupid system 013 have such a perfect voice like me?’ That’s right, it wasn’t 013 who spoke just now, it was Little Four mimicking 013’s voice. Why did Little Four do this? Well, the reason was simple. The handsome Little Four didn’t want to be a wallflower anymore. He wanted in on the action now. Hence, he decided to pretend to be 013 for a while.
“Base 013 will be taken over by the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Lieutenant Colonel Ling Lan, from now on. Please remember this,” Li s.h.i.+yu gave the mainframe an order.
“Noted. The commanding officer of the base will be Boss Ling Lan from this moment onwards!” Little Four controlled his excitement as he pretended to be an emotionless mainframe. He accepted Li s.h.i.+yu’s command without any hesitation.
Li s.h.i.+yu was speechless as there seemed to be a problem with the mainframe. He said Lieutenant Colonel Ling Lan just now, not Boss Ling Lan. Did they damage the mainframe when they hacked it just now?
However, he was the only one who noticed this mistake in Little Four’s act. Everyone else was too flabbergasted by 013’s reply, they didn’t listen to its content carefully.
While Li s.h.i.+yu was talking to Little Four, Du Mingyi send a few commands to the mainframe while Li s.h.i.+yu was not paying attention to him.
“Boss, Du Mingyi is doing something sneaky.” Little Four was playing as a subst.i.tute of 013 but he continued to watch over Du Mingyi. When he saw his sneaky actions, he quickly reported it back to Ling Lan who stayed back at the camp of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. She was currently drinking hot tea, waiting for the good news.
Actually, Li s.h.i.+yu talked to 013 and let down his guard against Du Mingyi on purpose. It was to allow Du Mingyi to do his sneaky actions. They needed to uproot all of Du Mingyi’s power, no seeds must be left behind. These people were not a threat to Ling Lan but since she decided to do it, she would not give Du Mingyi any chances to ever show his face in the military again.
Little Four copied Du Mingyi’s messages and sent it to his boss. Ling Lan looked through it and smiled. Du Mingyi was a narrow-minded person but he was decisive. At such a crucial time, he lured Song Yiqing with a bait that was very difficult to reject. ‘Will Song Yiqing take the bait?’
As for the other people Du Mingyi asked for help, they were all within Ling Lan’s expectation.
After Du Mingyi sent his messages, his expression relaxed a little. As long as the guards arrived, Li s.h.i.+yu and his men would not be a threat.
The moment Du Mingyi relaxed, Li s.h.i.+yu turned and smiled at him. “Senior Colonel Du, are you done calling your reinforcements?”
Du Mingyi’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t know that Li s.h.i.+yu had seen through his cheap trick but yet, he didn’t stop him. ‘Is it blind faith on Ling Lan or does he have other plans?’
“You are looking for the guards at 001 camp, right? You must be from the Du family.” Li s.h.i.+yu calmly exposed one of Du Mingyi’s helpers.
“Du family? What nonsense is this? Regiment Commander Du just happens to have the same surname as me,” Du Mingyi replied with an indifferent face.
“The rank-3 elite family of planet Luxing. Am I right? I know that you are a direct descendant of the Du family but you were entrusted to a commoner with the surname ‘Du’.” Li s.h.i.+yu directly exposed the secret Du Mingyi was hiding for his entire life.
When Du Mingyi offended Ling Lan, Ling Lan’s no. 1 sidekick, Little Four, was extremely angry at him. Thus to vent his anger, he went to dig up all of Du Mingyi’s history.
The Du family hid everything so perfectly, an ace hacker might not be able to notice any loopholes. However, they were facing the literal virtual G.o.d, Little Four. The only things that Little Four couldn’t find are the things he didn’t want to find.
