The moment Ling Lan returned to her own room, her initially cold face became even colder. Although she knew that her father would not let her suffer, the uneasiness of this situation being out of her control still made her feel somewhat frustrated.
As expected, she couldn't control everything like her father, Ling Xiao. She paced back and forth in her living room. She thought for a while and decided to ask her father what was going on.
"Little Four, help me contact …" Ling Lan was just about to ask Little Four to contact Ling Xiao when she suddenly remembered that Ling Xiao didn't give her any information. Was it because it was inconvenient for him to contact her?
The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee were obviously sent by the military. He Xuyang's actions also proved that they didn't inform the headquarters of the 23rd division. They came to investigate on their own and caught them off guard.
In the military, there were many factions and conflicts. Ling Lan thought about how she tricked the 3rd division and Qiao Ting in Soldier City. Could it be that this matter was brewing and all the factions were secretly taking action for their own benefits? Then, this time, could it be that they were investigating her because of Ling Xiao?
Ling Lan instantly thought of many things. She was shocked. She knew that her father would definitely take this opportunity to do something. Could it be that her father's actions had attracted the attention of the opposing faction, so they wanted to investigate her father's background?
Coincidentally, 250 Ace Mecha Clan appeared at this time. It went from an abandoned mecha clan to one of the top ten mecha clans in the land clearing mission. It was indeed a good opportunity for people to make a fuss about it. It looked like she had to be careful not to reveal her relationship with her father. If not, even if she managed to become the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan with her merits, her father would still be criticized and his opponents would find a chance to attack her father. Perhaps, her father didn't contact her because of this.
Ling Lan had an epiphany. At this time, her relationship with her father must remain as the regiment commander. She was just a normal officer under her father. This way, her father wouldn't have any scruples and would be able to make a move when he needed to.
Ling Lan knew that the higher-ups in the military would know the truth. However, due to some agreement, they wouldn't expose her relationship with Ling Xiao. Her subordinates might know something too but they wouldn't dare to reveal it.
Thus, she had to be careful. She couldn't let the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee find out about her relationship with her father.
A cold expression appeared on Ling Lan's face. She guessed that the higher-ups of the military sent the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to investigate the 23rd division because they wanted to use the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to find out her relationship with her father. Of course, she didn't exclude the possibility of her father's reputation. It seemed like her father's reputation. The higher-ups were afraid of him.
However, if they wanted to catch Ling Lan off guard and make her panic and reveal her weakness … they really underestimated her.
Ling Lan confidently sat on the sofa in the living room. She smiled mockingly. So what if she contacted her father? If they had the guts, they could use it against her.
"Little Four, contact your mother. Be careful not to let anyone discover you." The god of the virtual world, Little Four, was counting on him now. Compared to Ling Xiao, Lan Luofeng's target was smaller.
"Understood, Boss." Little Four had an excited expression on his face. This was the only time he wouldn't feel sleepy and would be full of energy. Also, he could finally talk to his gentle mother.
Hmph, as expected by Boss, these bastards actually dared to monitor his mother's communicator. If they found out that it was me, Little Four, Little Four, how would I be able to show my face in front of Boss? If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the number one underling.
The narrow-minded Little Four bypassed the monitoring of those people. At the same time, he memorized their information. After this matter was over, he would go to each of them one by one and settle the score with them.
Lan Luofeng, who was sitting on the sofa in her official residence and scrolling through the information on her communicator, suddenly saw a string of small words appear on the screen. The content made her smile. She stood up gracefully and walked over to Ling Xiao, who was reading documents on the other side of the room. Then, she sat down next to him.
Ling Xiao looked up at Lan Luofeng in surprise. These past few days, Lan Luofeng had been giving him a hard time. He didn't expect her to take the initiative to lean over to him today. Could it be that she had forgiven him? It couldn't be helped. Ling Xiao knew that he had done many things that crossed Lan Luofeng's bottom line recently. Thus, he didn't dare to have any objections to Lan Luofeng's angry and cold treatment.
"Ling Xiao, I have something to talk to you about. Are you free?" She unintentionally revealed her communicator and waved it at Ling Xiao. The message on the screen made Ling Xiao smile.
"Madam's orders. I have to be free even if I'm not!" Ling Xiao held Lan Luofeng's hand, indicating that he had already protected the entire army commander's official residence. Absolutely no one could come close. As for the hacker problem … since his daughter said that she could handle it, then it wasn't his problem anymore.
Lan Luofeng glared at Ling Xiao. If her daughter hadn't sent a message asking for Ling Xiao, she wouldn't have been so nice to him. He actually agreed to let those bastards investigate her precious daughter. If she didn't make him sleep on the floor for a month, then her name wasn't Lan Luofeng.
Ling Xiao didn't know that his miserable days weren't over yet. He hugged Lan Luofeng gently and pressed the accept button on Lan Luofeng's communicator. A five to six year old kid jumped out, smiling like a porcelain doll. He was wearing a red shirt and looked very festive. Lan Luofeng liked him at first sight.
"Dad, Mom, how are you? Let me introduce myself. My name is Ling Little Four. I'll be your son from now on." Little Four smiled cutely, but his eyes were flickering. It was his first time meeting his parents. Would they like him?
Little Four, who had always been brimming with confidence, began to feel uneasy at this moment. He looked pitifully at Ling Xiao and Lan Luofeng. Ling Xiao didn't feel it, but Lan Luofeng was unbelievably adorable. If it weren't for the fact that Little Four was just a virtual image, Lan Luofeng would probably have pulled him into her arms and kissed him fiercely before stopping.
"So cute." Lan Luofeng held her face, and hearts appeared in her eyes. Indeed, women couldn't resist the charm of cute children.
"Where's Ling Lan?" Their handsome father, Ling Xiao, was still the most reliable. He wasn't charmed by Little Four and went straight to the main character of the incident.
"En, Boss is online. It's just that Little Four wants to say hi to Dad and Mom first." Little Four smiled innocently. That fawning look made Ling Xiao's forehead pop up with goosebumps. Where did his daughter find such a spineless little bastard? He actually dared to seduce his wife — Ling Xiao felt sour in his heart.
It had to be said that Little Four's cute image was divided into two classes in Ling Xiao and Lan Luofeng's opinion. Lan Luofeng liked him very much, but Ling Xiao felt that Little Four was too soft and cute. He didn't have the image a boy should have at all. His impression of him was definitely not good.
Little Four didn't know what Ling Xiao was thinking. Satisfied, he immediately moved away. On the virtual screen, Ling Lan's cold face appeared.
"Baby Lan." Before Ling Lan could say anything, Lan Luofeng already couldn't control her emotions. Her eyes were slightly red as she shouted. She was supposed to pamper her precious daughter, but because of her and Ling Xiao's mistake, she had to face the outside world alone. She could only watch as her daughter suffered, unable to do anything.
"Mom, I'm fine." Ling Lan could only comfort her mother first. But when Lan Luofeng wasn't paying attention, she shot a sharp glare at her father, blaming him for not comforting his wife well. Now she still had to face the tearful mother-in-law's mother.
Ling Xiao could only smile bitterly. Could he say that he didn't have any way to deal with Lan Luofeng? Wouldn't this affect his authority as a father too much?
Ling Lan was only condemning him. Did Ling Xiao think that he still had authority? Haha, Ling Lan already knew that her father couldn't do anything to her mother. If he could handle her mother, would he have been kicked out of the house for three months to be her bodyguard? Did he really think that as the commander of an army, he had nothing better to do?
Some things weren't said explicitly because Ling Lan wanted to save some face for her father, so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.
Poor Ling Xiao. He still didn't know that in front of his daughter, his image was long gone … He always thought that he pretended very well.
Lan Luofeng knew that now wasn't the time for romance. She tried hard to hold back her tears and said with a smile, "Baby Lan, your father is here. If you have any grievances, just tell your father." Then, she tugged at Ling Xiao to get him to speak.
Ling Xiao actually also wanted to be affectionate with his daughter, but he still coughed and pretended to be serious as he said, "Ask whatever you want."
Ling Xiao knew his daughter's personality. She definitely wouldn't ask for help. She definitely wanted to ask about something she didn't understand.
"Why are they investigating?" As expected, Ling Lan went straight to the heart of the matter. She would only be able to think of a way to deal with them if she knew what they were here for.
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Lan with a faint smile on his face. This made Ling Lan frown. Was her father trying to tell her that there was something wrong with her? What exactly was wrong with her? Ling Lan couldn't help but think about what she had done wrong.
"You didn't manage to subdue everyone in 250 Ace Mecha Clan in half a year. You didn't pass the test," Ling Xiao reminded her.
Ling Lan understood. "Did someone in my clan complain to the military?" This was the only reason why the military would send someone down and catch her father off guard.
"Do you have an idea?" Ling Xiao asked.
"There shouldn't be any problems with the people who went on the land clearing mission. The only people who are suspicious are those who stayed in the base." Ling Lan immediately deduced the suspects. This also explained why the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee of the military would investigate 250 Ace Mecha Clan. The person who reported to the military must be in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. If the people who went on the land clearing mission reported to the military, they would probably stay in Soldier City to be investigated instead of returning to their base.
