Ling Lan immediately asked Little Four to contact Ling Xiao. She told Ling Xiao what they had discovered.
Ling Xiao's originally gentle and smiling face gradually became cold and serious. He originally thought that the matter of the mineral vein was extremely troublesome, but he didn't expect that his daughter would find something even more troublesome. Compared to this matter, the so-called trouble of the mineral vein was not much of a trouble.
Ling Xiao looked at the cold expression on Ling Lan's face on the screen and took a deep breath. He was sure that his daughter had the ability to attract trouble. No matter where she went, even if she didn't look for trouble, trouble would still come knocking on her door.
He still needed to become stronger. If not, he wouldn't be able to handle these matters. Ling Xiao didn't want his daughter's image of a father who could hold up the sky for her to suddenly collapse.
"I'll still say the same thing. Leave Mairfa's matter to me. If you can, leave Mairfa now and go home." Ling Xiao believed that his daughter wouldn't be rash and wouldn't cause trouble. However, he was really afraid of his daughter's troublesome body. If those troubles came knocking on her door … it would be safer for her to go home.
Thinking about this, he glanced coldly at Li Lanfeng, who was wearing a mask beside his daughter. In the end, it was still this person who caused his daughter to get into trouble again. As expected, his instincts were right. This person was indeed 'dangerous'. He was really worried about him.
Ling Xiao's impression of Li Lanfeng dropped again. If it wasn't for the fact that he never interfered with his daughter's matters, he would have wanted to find a chance to teach this fellow a lesson. Ling Xiao confirmed once again that he really didn't like this brat called Li Lanfeng.
Ling Xiao's words made Ling Lan shake her head decisively. "Father, before the mecha tournament ends, I won't go back. However, I've already asked Lanfeng to give up on this mission. We won't interfere in this matter anymore. We'll wait for your orders. "
Ling Xiao understood Ling Lan's unspoken words. If trouble persisted, they would still take action.
Seeing the determination in Ling Lan's eyes, Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't refuse Ling Lan. This was because this was Ling Lan's belief. If it was stopped, Ling Lan's heart might be damaged. This would have a huge impact on Ling Lan's future growth.
"Then, be careful." Ling Xiao could only end the call with this sentence.
After his daughter's face disappeared from the screen, Ling Xiao still stared blankly at the virtual screen that had turned black. In the end, he sighed.
"Looks like I have to speed up." A hint of viciousness appeared in Ling Xiao's eyes. At first, he wanted to take things slowly, but the information that Ling Lan brought him time and time again made him understand that he couldn't continue to plan leisurely anymore.
He knew very well that Ling Lan didn't want to come back because she didn't want to affect his plans. Other than the things that he shouldn't know about Ling Lan's trip, he already knew everything that he should know. Once she returned, those people's gazes would once again focus on him and his' father '. The pressure on him would be even heavier than it was now. Some of his actions wouldn't be easy.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed. In these ten days, the mecha tournament had changed from the uneven standard at the beginning to gradually eliminating the normal ace operators. Other than a few mecha operators who were slightly luckier, those who remained were all peak ace operators, the aces of aces.
There was even a match where two ace operators went berserk. In the end, they actually didn't follow the rules of the tournament and directly attacked each other's vitals. In the end, one died and the other was heavily injured. This also caused the mecha tournament to become bloody.
However, this was what attracted many gamblers. The bets began to multiply. In the hearts of these gamblers, only participating in this kind of life and death gamble was exciting enough.
In a special resting room, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran sat facing each other on their respective beds. Compared to 10 days ago, their mental states weren't as good. They were even a little dispirited.
"The opponents are getting stronger and stronger," Mu Chaoran said calmly.
"Yes. With the departure of the normal ace operators, the ones left are all elites. Every match isn't easy." Tang Ningyu relaxed his fingers. In today's matches, the opponent was as cunning as a fox. He had been careless and fallen for their trap. If his hand speed hadn't already surpassed the ace operator level and he hadn't relied on his extreme hand speed to escape the opponent's sure-kill attack, he would have lost.
No, he might not have just lost. He might have even lost his life. That attack had been aimed at Tang Ningyu's vitals. If it had hit, even if he hadn't died, he would have been half-dead.
Tang Ningyu had luckily escaped the attack. However, he had also suffered great repercussions. That was, the nerves in his fingers had been injured. Now, just moving them would cause him unbearable pain.
There was still a tough battle tomorrow. He needed to get his fingers back to normal in one night's time. Otherwise, tomorrow would be very bad. Fortunately, although the opponent had restricted their movements and locked them in a special room so that they couldn't use their domain energy to escape, none of the things they had on them had been touched. These days, they had been relying on Long Xiang's top-grade recovery agent to survive.
However, there was always a time when the agent would run out. Tang Ningyu's eyes showed a hint of anxiety and confusion. They had already lost contact with Long Xiang for ten days. Logically speaking, Long Xiang should have sent someone to rescue them. However, why hadn't there been any news from Long Xiang yet?
Tang Ningyu knew very well about Long Xiang's hacker capabilities. If they really wanted to send a message, they would definitely have a way to let them know. The only possibility was that President Lin, who was covering for them, didn't tell Long Xiang about their disappearance at all. Therefore, Long Xiang didn't know that something had happened to them …
But was this possible? According to what the higher-ups who had assigned them to this mission said, President Lin was the most trustworthy person among all the people Long Xiang had worked with. If even the most trustworthy person betrayed Long Xiang …
Tang Ningyu's heart instantly turned cold. Mu Chaoran could also think of what he had thought. In fact, Mu Chaoran had thought of it earlier and further than Tang Ningyu.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Tang Ningyu understood Mu Chaoran's lowered hand gesture. This was a game he and Mu Chaoran had come up with when they were bored. He didn't expect it to come in handy here.
"But, we're surrounded by enemies. We don't have a chance." Tang Ningyu sat down and replied with hand gestures. However, he was talking about the life and death battle today. As usual, he was sharing his battle experience with Mu Chaoran.
"Did you see it today? The opponents they arranged for us were all very fierce. " Mu Chaoran was chatting with Tang Ningyu, but his hand gestures expressed his true feelings. "They already want to kill us. They just want us to die in the arena."
