"I've always wanted to know. When you were doing missions back then, did you ever meet a beautiful young man who was like the white moonlight?" Mu Chaoran hesitated for a while and finally asked the question that had been buried deep in his heart.
Ling Lan raised her head and looked at Mu Chaoran. She frowned slightly. She didn't expect that after so long, Mu Chaoran still hadn't let go of this matter.
"No!" Ling Lan replied calmly. This was Mu Chaoran's own matter. Ling Lan didn't think that she had the obligation to help him resolve his inner demons.
Mu Chaoran's eyes darkened. As expected, everything was just his wishful thinking.
Tang Ningyu's eyes darkened too. Compared to Mu Chaoran's disbelief, Tang Ningyu had already accepted this fact. Although he was disappointed, it wasn't as heavy a blow as Mu Chaoran's.
"Colonels, I also hope that you can answer a question of mine." Ling Lan thought for a while and asked.
Tang Ningyu instantly perked up when he heard that. A hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes. He didn't know what this Young Master Ling was going to ask them.
"I want to know, when will the report meeting be held?" Ling Lan didn't care about the vigilance in Tang Ningyu's eyes and went straight to the point.
"Although we're from Long Xiang, we don't know what the higher-ups in the military have decided." Tang Ningyu narrowed his eyes.
Ling Lan's lips curled up slightly. She glanced at Tang Ningyu coldly, then turned to look at Mu Chaoran and said calmly, "Colonel Mu, I don't want to hear lies."
Mu Chaoran was woken up by their conversation. He smiled devilishly and replied, "Major General Ling, you think too highly of me."
"Long Xiang's new generation of leaders, if you don't even know such a small thing, I'm going to suspect that you guys are Long Xiang's shields?" Ling Lan looked at Mu Chaoran with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"I remember that the time of the report meeting was clearly written on the assignment order, right?" Tang Ningyu, who looked a little embarrassed, replied reluctantly.
"I think the new notice should be coming soon." Ling Lan suddenly said something that had nothing to do with their conversation.
These words made Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's expressions change. They realized that today was really not a good time to visit.
The living room suddenly fell into silence. The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran felt very uncomfortable. The two of them looked at each other and said goodbye.
At this moment, Ling Lan's communicator suddenly vibrated. Ling Lan glanced at the two of them with a smile that wasn't a smile. Then, she accepted the call.
The virtual screen suddenly lit up. A beautiful virtual female soldier appeared. She smiled elegantly and said a new order from the military headquarters. The report meeting that was supposed to be held two hours later was delayed due to an emergency. The exact time would be notified later. Finally, she said 'Have a good time on Planet General' and disappeared.
Ling Lan raised her head and said calmly, "Did the two of you hear that clearly?"
Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran had an awkward expression on their face. They didn't expect Major General Ling to see through their little trick.
"We really don't know …" Tang Ningyu still didn't want to violate the military rules and reveal the secret decision made by the military headquarters.
"Three days later!" At this moment, Mu Chaoran suddenly said.
"Chaoran!" Tang Ningyu shouted in shock.
Mu Chaoran gestured for Tang Ningyu to calm down. Then, he stared at Ling Lan and said, "The report meeting is supposed to be held three days later. Within these three days, all the factions will be making their moves. Major General Ling, you guys should be more careful."
Ling Lan nodded. "Thank you!" Then, she picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip.
Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran saw this and instantly heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them stood up and saluted at the same time. Then, they bid farewell and left.
The two of them walked to the main hall of the reception center. Tang Ningyu then pulled Mu Chaoran and asked in a low voice, "Chaoran, why did you reveal this information?"
"Major General Ling isn't an enemy," Mu Chaoran replied softly.
"But if the higher-ups find out, you'll be in trouble," Tang Ningyu said worriedly.
As the leader of the new generation, Tang Ningyu knew very well that the higher-ups were extraordinarily strict with him and Mu Chaoran. There was no room for any mistakes. Once they were discovered, Mu Chaoran would lose everything that he had worked so hard to achieve.
This kind of pressure was unprecedentedly strong. If one's willpower was slightly weaker, they would definitely break down.
In order to relieve this kind of pressure, he and Mu Chaoran each chose a path. There was no such thing as good or bad. It was just that the results were different because of the way they chose. Thus, he became a cold and expressionless person. Meanwhile, Mu Chaoran became a person with a charming smile …
Perhaps it was because of this that Pei Shaoyun, who had a warm and innocent smile and was like the most beautiful existence in the world, was deeply ingrained in their hearts. That was why they cherished him so much. That was why they were so heartbroken after losing him.
They simply wanted to have the warmth and innocence that they had never had before. They wanted to have a person that they could open their hearts to and love. But such a small wish, the heartless God was still unwilling to satisfy them and cruelly took it back.
"So what if it's tragic?" Mu Chaoran said nonchalantly. "At the end of the day, Major General Ling is our savior on Planet Azure. Just treat it as paying back the debt."
"But there are many ways to pay back a debt. If you do this, you'll be sent on a suicide mission by the boss." Tang Ningyu frowned. If he had known this would happen, he would have said it himself. During this period of time, he had already felt that the boss was dissatisfied with some of Mu Chaoran's actions.
"If that's really the case, you should throw a banquet and send me on my way." Mu Chaoran smiled wickedly. He didn't care about the suicide mission at all.
"Chaoran!" Seeing Mu Chaoran's nonchalant expression, Tang Ningyu instantly shouted angrily in a low voice.
Mu Chaoran's smile slowly disappeared. After three seconds of silence, he said softly, "Little Brother Shaoyun disappeared on Planet Azure … just treat it as if he was the one who told the news." Mu Chaoran didn't know why, but he always felt that if he did this, his Little Brother Shaoyun would be happy. He would smile so brightly that there would be no more darkness in the world …
"You … sigh …" Seeing Mu Chaoran like this, Tang Ningyu could only sigh helplessly.
"Let's go. I'm afraid we'll be taught a lesson when we get back." How could Mu Chaoran not know that his boss's attitude towards him was changing? However, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't go against his heart and do certain things. Perhaps, just like what Tang Ningyu said, one day, he would completely anger their boss. Then, he would go on a mission with no return.
"Tell him it was my idea when we get back," Tang Ningyu reminded him seriously.
Their boss was more lenient towards him. If he took on this responsibility, there wouldn't be any serious consequences.
Mu Chaoran's eyes flashed with gratitude. The corner of his lips curled up slightly. He said wickedly, "Of course. Do you think I'll take the initiative to be punished?"
The two of them quickly sat in their hovercar and quickly rushed towards Long Xiang's base on Planet General.
