Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Li Yingjie's dispirited appearance caused the hall to once again fall silent. In contrast to Wu Jiong's worry, Ling Lan's expression was indifferent. She only tapped the cup in her hand, as if thinking about something.
Not long after, Lin Zhong-qing, who had been tidying up in the kitchen, appeared once again. He walked up to Li Yingjie and placed a cup of iced water on the coffee table. Unlike before, Lin Zhong-qing seemed to have used a bit more force this time — the sound of the cup hitting the coffee table was very loud and piercing.
"You're laughing at me too, aren't you?" Li Yingjie was startled awake by the sound. He jerked his head up, glaring at Lin Zhong-qing with red eyes as he questioned him loudly and stubbornly.
Lin Zhong-qing held the tray in his hands, his expression indifferent as he bent down to take away the cup of hot coffee in front of Li Yingjie. He was not angry, only tossing out a sentence, "What's there to laugh at? Based on your past methods, I wouldn't be surprised if someone betrayed you. "
Lin Zhong-qing's words hit Li Yingjie where it hurt. His entire being burned with rage, the sadness and depression in his heart instantly disappeared. He pointed angrily at the cup of coffee in Lin Zhong-qing's hands and said, "Even if I used my methods to bully you in the past, you can't take my coffee away. Also, you actually gave me a cup of iced water on such a cold day. Are you using your position to avenge a personal grudge?"
Lin Zhong-qing's lips twitched at these words. He pointed at the cup of iced water and said coldly, "I think that this is the most suitable thing for you to use to calm yourself down. Isn't it just a traitor? Do you have to be so sad? You really aren't like the Li Yingjie who only knew how to bully and squeeze me dry. "
That said, he walked back into the kitchen with a straight face without even looking back. That attitude of his showed that he did not take the furious Li Yingjie seriously at all.
Li Yingjie was used to being arrogant. Even though the appearance of a traitor in his team was a huge blow to him, he had always suffered at the hands of Ling Lan since he was young. But overall, he had always had a smooth sailing life. He was doted on by his family and flattered by his team members. This had made him proud and arrogant. Now that he was being ridiculed by someone he used to look down on, he felt humiliated and couldn't take it anymore.
Thus, he actually ignored Wu Jiong and Ling Lan and impulsively followed Lin Zhong-qing's footsteps into the kitchen, wanting to fight it out with the other. This damned Lin Zhong-qing actually had no comradeship? Adding insult to injury … It was too, too, too, too f * cking despicable.
Wu Jiong stared in shock at Li Yingjie, who had just sunk into self-reproach and frustration, but was now energetically chasing Lin Zhong-qing into the kitchen and starting a fierce argument with him. He looked at Ling Lan, who was sitting on the main sofa, at a loss for what to do. He had just been thinking about how to console that brat.
Ling Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and put down the cup in her hand. She replied calmly, "Let's not bother about Li Yingjie's matter. I believe he knows where his problem lies." Otherwise, Li Yingjie would not have been so shocked in the beginning. He actually knew very well where his problem lay, but he just refused to admit it in his heart.
Wu Jiong also calmed down at this time and nodded. "That's true. I just don't know if this matter will affect tomorrow's big battle." Wu Jiong could not help but be a little worried.
"It's fine. The reason I didn't want to reveal the name list before the big battle was to avoid unnecessary trouble. Actually, even if Leiting knew, it wouldn't be a problem." The real killer move had never been on that name list. Ling Lan had just created a smokescreen to make Leiting really think that Lingtian's killer move was only the two people on the name list.
Hearing Ling Lan's words, Wu Jiong finally relaxed. Boss Lan either did not promise anything, or once he did, it meant that everything was within his control.
Wu Jiong and Ling Lan continued to discuss the things to take note of in tomorrow's battle. Suddenly, they found that Li Yingjie's originally loud and impassioned voice in the kitchen had actually disappeared. The two of them looked towards the kitchen in surprise and saw Li Yingjie holding a clean rag indignantly, fiercely wiping a cup in his hand. That force was as if that cup was his mortal enemy.
Wu Jiong felt that the cup looked very familiar. He reflexively looked at the coffee cup in his hand and knew what it was.
"Regiment Commander Wu, do you want more coffee?" Lin Zhong-qing noticed that Wu Jiong was looking at his cup, so he briskly picked up the coffee pot from the shelf and walked out to ask seriously.
"Oh, oh, okay, okay... er, that, just a little bit." Lin Zhong-qing's sudden appearance made Wu Jiong reply reflexively. He had just handed over the coffee cup in his hand when he found that he had not even taken two sips of coffee. The cup was now almost full. Thus, he added a little embarrassedly.
Lin Zhong-qing did not seem to notice Wu Jiong's awkwardness. He poured some coffee for Wu Jiong seriously and then walked back to the kitchen with the coffee pot...
"I've wiped it clean. Now, you can give me some coffee..." Li Yingjie saw that Lin Zhong-qing had returned and hurriedly raised the cup that he had wiped clean, indicating that Lin Zhong-qing could pour him some coffee.
Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him coldly and placed the coffee pot back on the shelf. He said coldly, "If you want to drink, pour it yourself!"
"Why? Wu Jiong is the regiment commander, and I am also the regiment commander. Why can you pour for him but not for me? "Li Yingjie was enraged again.
"You, who made a mistake, still have the right to ask others to pour you coffee?" Lin Zhong-qing threw down this sentence calmly and then ignored the red-faced Li Yingjie, whose hands were clenched into fists and who looked like he wanted to punch someone.
"Your logistics department head has finally gotten his revenge." Seeing this, Wu Jiong could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He also felt helpless for Li Yingjie's reckless behavior of going up to be abused.
Ling Lan raised her head to look at Wu Jiong and said calmly, "Zhong-qing, he is not taking revenge."
Wu Jiong was stunned. Ling Lan said with a half-smile, "Don't you feel that Li Yingjie has become the old Li Yingjie again? Arrogant, domineering, and somewhat unreasonable? "
Wu Jiong was enlightened. He looked deeply at Lin Zhong-qing, who had ignored Li Yingjie in the kitchen, and once again found that when it came to judging people, he really could not compare to Boss Lan. In his eyes, Lin Zhong-qing's actions were obviously mocking Li Yingjie, taking revenge on Li Yingjie for oppressing him in the past. However, after Boss Lan's reminder, he found that Lin Zhong-qing was just using reverse psychology to revive the defeated Li Yingjie who had lost his confidence and purpose.
Thinking about it, if Lin Zhong-qing was so narrow-minded, how could he be worthy of following Boss Lan until now? He still underestimated Lin Zhong-qing.
Disregarding Wu Jiong's feelings of defeat, Li Yingjie felt that he and Lin Zhong-qing were really arch-enemies in their past lives. Enemies in this life, there would never be a day of peace between them. He had almost exploded from being provoked by Lin Zhong-qing, but luckily, he remembered that he was on Boss Lan's territory. With great difficulty, he finally managed to control his anger and followed Wu Jiong out of Ling Lan's living quarters with an indignant expression.
Right now, Li Yingjie only thought that he absolutely could not let Lin Zhong-qing look down on him. He, Li Yingjie, was a naturally arrogant person. Hells, wasn't he just a traitor? He would let the other know that Li Yingjie, who had betrayed him, had no so-called future.
Thus, in the mecha battle with Leiting tomorrow, he must win. He must let the other know that if they wanted to make the Lingtian Mecha Clan disappear, if they wanted to see him, Li Yingjie, destitute and miserable, there was absolutely no way.
Li Yingjie, who had initially been oppressed to the point of suffocation by Thunder King Qiao Ting, was actually swept clean of the burden in his heart because of this betrayal and Lin Zhong-qing's provocation. Right now, Li Yingjie had once again become that fearless and arrogant person who thought he was number one in the world. Even someone as strong as Thunder King Qiao Ting could still make the current Li Yingjie fearlessly take a bite out of him.
The night passed uneventfully, and soon it was 1 pm. The military academy made the unprecedented decision to give the entire school a break, allowing all the students to watch the mecha battle between Lingtian and Leiting. The instructors of each class even gave them the task of writing down their thoughts on the battle...
The mecha battle between Lingtian and Leiting was a virtual battle, so the venue chosen was in Mecha World. However, this match was set by the mainframe to be an internal arena, only allowing those from the First Men's Military Academy login point to watch.
In Mecha World, both Leiting and Lingtian were ready. They were just waiting for the mainframe's notification to enter the map for the mecha battle.
To ensure fairness, the mecha battle map was randomly selected by the mainframe. Thus, neither mecha battle team knew which map they would enter for the battle. Compared to the Lingtian Mecha Clan, Leiting was clearly much more confident. After all, having gone through countless battles, they had a considerable understanding of the various maps in Mecha World. It could be said that if they entered the map right from the start, they would definitely have more experience than the Lingtian Mecha Clan in terms of how to deal with the situation.
In the resting room where the 12 members of the Lingtian Mecha Clan were fighting, when Ling Lan appeared in front of everyone operating that mecha modified by Chang Xinyuan, those who did not know were amazed. Just as Ling Lan and the others had expected, Wu Jiong, Li Yingjie, and the others all thought that Ling Lan's mecha was a special-class mecha. Wu Jiong, Li Yingjie, and the others were both envious and impressed that Ling Lan was the first to become a special-class mecha master of the Lingtian Mecha Clan. As expected, Boss Lan was the strongest among them.
As the Lingtian Mecha Clan had three special-class operators this time, Wu Jiong and the others felt much more at ease. Although Ling Lan had always emphasized that Lingtian might not lose in the battle with Leiting, they had still been uneasy. Now, they finally felt a little more confident.
The only one who was calm was Li Yingjie. Probably because he had been provoked too much by Lin Zhong-qing, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if he wanted to use his strength to prove that he, Li Yingjie, would not be defeated.
Very soon, everyone received a notification from the mainframe. Three minutes later, they would be automatically pulled into the battlefield by the mainframe.
Ling Lan swept a cold glance over the 11 people in the room and said, "When we enter later, if everyone is together, first form the pre-arranged columns and gather. If we split up, the first thing to do is to hide yourselves well. I will think of a way to contact you all. At that time, it is very likely that the three people closest to you will form a column and move together. You may not be very familiar with coordination and whatnot, so everyone needs to be mentally prepared. "
Ling Lan's reminder startled everyone, who immediately replied, "Understood, Boss Lan."
