1366 Is it a Bad Thing or a Good Thing?
Zilong smiled politely. "I wouldn't dare."
"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore." Mu Chaoran felt that Zilong was being perfunctory so he stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, "I'm here because I hope Major General Qi can provide me with some clues."
Zilong's expression became serious too. "Please tell me."
"Where did Lieutenant General Ling go?" Mu Chaoran went straight to the point.
Zilong raised his eyebrows. "Ever since Lieutenant General Ling went missing on the Twilight Battlefield, there hasn't been any news about him. Hasn't the military been looking for him? I want to know where he is too. "
Tang Ningyu, who was sitting on the other side, said, "You can only fool outsiders. In reality, everyone knows that the person who brought Lieutenant General Ling to Planet General was you, Major General Qi."
Zilong smiled honestly. "Senior Colonel Tang, you're being unreasonable. Let's not talk about whether Lieutenant General Ling went to Planet General or not. Even if he did, I still think that Lieutenant General Ling entered Planet General through your connections. After all, Senior Colonel Mu just said that you and Lieutenant General Ling went through thick and thin together. You're brothers."
On the surface, Qi Long looked like an honest person, but in reality, he was the third most cunning person in Lingtian.
Boss was the most cunning one. (Ling Lan felt wronged. Actually, I'm not cunning at all.)
On the other hand, Li Lanfeng, who hid a knife behind his smile, looked very gentle on the surface but in reality, he was the cunning type. Every word he said could be a trap. You might not even know when you've fallen into his trap. Zilong was the most wary of him. Unless he had no other choice, he would never challenge him. However, other than these two people, even Han Jijun, who was good at scheming, was pure and honest. He wasn't as cunning as Zilong. He was also an anomaly.
This ranking was publicly acknowledged by everyone in Lingtian. Otherwise, why would they work together to promote Zilong to the top? That was because everyone thought that besides Boss and Li Lanfeng, only Zilong could carry the burden of the Lingtian Independent Army.
Zilong's words made Tang Ningyu choke. For a moment, he did not know how to answer.
"Major General Qi, let's stop probing. This time, we have no ill intentions towards Lieutenant General Ling. We received orders from the chief to follow Lieutenant General Ling and protect him closely." Mu Chaoran didn't want to waste time here, so he directly told them the purpose of their visit.
"Chief? General Ren of Long Xiang? "Zilong asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's him." Mu Chaoran nodded.
Zilong remembered that he was able to become the commander of the Lingtian Independent Army mainly because of him. Although he didn't know if Zilong did it on purpose or not, he couldn't forget this favor.
"I don't know," Zilong said slowly.
He didn't lie to them. He really didn't know where Boss was. When they left, Boss only said that he was going outside to build a faction that belonged only to him. Then, he would come back and settle the score with the higher-ups of the military headquarters for General Ling Xiao.
The scope of this' outside 'was too big. At the same time, Zilong didn't want to think too much about it. The safest way to keep a secret was to not know this secret. Zilong understood this very well. That was why he didn't ask at the beginning. He knew that if he asked, Boss would definitely tell him the answer.
This was his intuition. This was the trust between brothers. However, the more this was the case, the more Zilong didn't want to know. He didn't want Boss to be in danger of being exposed. He didn't want to be exposed even if it was him.
"Lieutenant General Ling didn't leave any messages?" Mu Chaoran looked anxious.
"Outside." Zilong thought for a moment and said these two words.
He knew these two words. As for whether they could find it or not, it would all depend on their own abilities.
Why did Zilong choose to say it? It was because his innate talent, Animal Instinct, was telling him that it would be better if he said it.
Besides Boss, Zilong trusted his innate talent the most. This was because Boss said that this was his strongest ability. Although it didn't make much sense, the information his innate talent gave him was the most suitable and correct.
Zilong remembered this in his heart. Thus, when his innate talent gave him a hint, he decisively executed it.
"Outside?" Mu Chaoran's eyes lit up. Where exactly was the 'outside' that Ling Lan mentioned? However, he was certain that it was definitely not within the country.
"I can only rely on you guys for the rest. I can't help you," Zilong said calmly.
"Understood. Thank you for your trust, Major General Qi." Although Mu Chaoran was curious about Zilong's cooperation, there was a new hope now. Mu Chaoran didn't want to waste any more time with Zilong, so he said goodbye to Tang Ningyu and left.
After they left, the moving door of the lounge next to them opened silently.
Han Jijun walked out from inside and frowned. "Are they safe?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing," Zilong replied with a smile.
"Oh? Your innate talent? "Han Jijun knew Zilong the best. When he heard what Zilong said, he understood something.
"Yes. I also feel that something big is about to happen. It seems to be related to those two people." Zilong was confused. The information given by Animal Instinct was too vague. He only knew that it wasn't a bad thing. Maybe, maybe, it was a good thing?
"What time can you roughly estimate?" Han Jijun asked. If Zilong said that something big was going to happen, then something big was definitely going to happen. No matter if it was good or bad, he had to be fully prepared.
Zilong touched his forehead and carefully sensed for a while. "It should be within three days."
Three days passed in a flash. In the meeting room of Lingtian's headquarters, Zilong was discussing the logistics with Lin Zhong-qing, Luo Chao, Han Xuya, Li Jinghong, and He Chaoyang.
Suddenly, he raised his head. With a flash of light, he disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already at the door. An iron fist with a sonic boom struck towards the empty door.
"Boom!" A dull sound of collision was heard. A black figure appeared out of thin air and blocked Zilong's iron fist with his hands.
However, when the two of them collided with each other, a huge dent appeared on the metal door.
When Zilong saw that person, he was overjoyed. He retracted his iron fist and shouted excitedly, "Luo Lang."
Luo Lang? The familiar name made everyone look at the man in black excitedly. As expected, it was the face that they couldn't be more familiar with. They didn't see it every day but they missed it so much. It was Luo Chao's older brother, Luo Lang.
"Why are you back? Where's Boss? "Zilong rushed forward and grabbed Luo Lang's shoulder. He shouted excitedly.
"Boss didn't come back," Luo Lang said calmly.
"He didn't come back?" Zilong put down his hands in disappointment. "Then why didn't you stay by Boss's side to protect him?"
