"Whether the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan are qualified or not is not something that we are investigating. Please don't confuse us. Regiment Commander Ling, our team leader said it clearly just now. Your mecha operators accused you of using cruel methods to kill soldiers who disagreed with you. Regiment Commander Ling, please give us an explanation for this. " Seeing that things weren't going well, the lieutenant colonel's assistant hurriedly tried to save the situation, trying to change the topic back to something beneficial for them.
Ling Lan calmly raised her eyes to look at the other party and said unhurriedly, "I've said it very clearly just now. Who exactly did I kill? Where's the evidence? I hope you can provide it. "
The lieutenant colonel gritted his teeth and said, "You have no right to know some evidence."
"If that's the case, I can only suspect that you are trying to frame me." Ling Lan sneered. If the other party had evidence, it would be strange.
Ling Lan's words made the lieutenant colonel grit his teeth in anger. If they had concrete evidence in their hands, would they still be wasting their time here and beating around the bush?
Even though the lieutenant colonel had returned in defeat, his words had calmed the senior colonel down. He decided to use a different method of questioning. He tapped his right index finger lightly on the conference table, instantly attracting the attention of the two parties who were wrestling with each other. The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee calmed down when they saw their team leader regaining his confidence. On the other hand, Ling Lan and the other two people saw their team leader regaining his composure. They raised their guard and prepared themselves to deal with the opponent's attack.
The senior colonel was satisfied with the pressure he created. He stared at Ling Lan and said slowly, "Let's not talk about the previous question for now. However, there is one thing that I need you to think about. Why do you think your mecha operators accused you of something? "
When dealing with those cunning criminals who would never confess until the end of the road, it was definitely a mistake to use simple, direct, and violent methods to break their hearts and make them confess. He was fooled by his past experience. He thought that Ling Lan was easy to deal with because he was young and immature. He didn't think much about it and acted rashly from the start. That was why he encountered so many obstacles in his investigation. However, it was not too late for him to realize his mistake.
The senior colonel had already viewed the three of them as the most powerful opponents in his life, and his initial disregard for them had completely disappeared.
Ling Lan's eyes revealed a trace of caution. As expected, the investigation team leader sent by the military was not that simple. No matter how she answered this question, it was not suitable.
Ling Lan held a cup of tea and seemed to be seriously thinking about the reason. The senior colonel didn't disturb her and just waited quietly for Ling Lan.
"Senior Colonel, I have an idea about this, and I would like to discuss it with you." Li Lanfeng was very sensitive. He sensed that there might be a hidden trap behind this question, so he decisively interjected.
When the senior colonel saw Ling Lan looking at Li Lanfeng with an interested expression, he knew that it was impossible to wait for Ling Lan to answer. He cursed in his heart. He hated Li Lanfeng for interrupting him, but he had to pretend that he was all ears. He signaled for Li Lanfeng to continue.
Li Lanfeng smiled and ignored the piercing gazes of the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. He calmly said his idea, "Senior Colonel, you should know that the benefits of an ace mecha clan compared to a normal mecha clan is not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality. Needless to say, those people who were ordered to retire from the military will also receive better benefits. Any soldier with a brain would know which side to choose when it comes to their future benefits. Unfortunately, some people want to enjoy this kind of treatment, but they don't have the ability to do so. Our regiment commander is a fair and just person. He will not let these useless people off. "
At this point, Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan with a gaze full of crazed worship. If it weren't for Ling Lan's amazing ice cube face, which was able to withstand all the pressure, she would definitely have broken under Li Lanfeng's horrified gaze... hells, this was just too, too, too embarrassing.
Li Lanfeng's gaze and words almost made the senior colonel vomit blood. Regiment Commander Ling is fair and just? Those mecha operators are useless people? This was a huge lie, but Ling Lan was able to say it so easily. As expected, he was really good at it. He had underestimated these young people.
Li Lanfeng knew that he couldn't overdo it. He could feel that under Ling Lan's calm expression, there was a heart that wanted to beat someone up. He decisively retracted his gaze. Although he wanted to be Ling Lan's best friend and best partner, he never thought of becoming Ling Lan's personal punching bag. Currently, Li Lanfeng's morals were still very pure so he didn't have such thoughts of torturing himself.
Li Lanfeng retracted his gaze and sighed softly. He shook his head with pity and pity. "They know that they don't have the ability to stay in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Their unwillingness and greed made them go crazy. It's not hard to explain why they chose to frame our regiment commander." Li Lanfeng finally retaliated.
"Frame?" The senior colonel narrowed his eyes. It looked like the other party was prepared. As expected, they were hard to deal with. He had underestimated them.
"That's right, frame! Those useless people who don't have the ability but still want the benefits of being an ace mecha operator won't give up on the benefits that they already have. This is why they wanted to use this method to stop Regiment Commander Ling from transferring them out. "Li Lanfeng's smile had disappeared. His cold gaze and firm tone showed the anger in his heart. His sharp gaze swept across the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. It was like a sharp sword piercing into their hearts. Many people were forced to lower their heads. They didn't dare to look at him directly.
Li Lanfeng's right index finger knocked on the table as he spoke. "If the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee really believed their words and didn't investigate properly, then these useless people would achieve their goal. If Regiment Commander Ling was transferred out, the regiment commander who took over after him would turn a blind eye to them to prevent himself from becoming the second Regiment Commander Ling. Originally, only the strongest mecha operators had the right to enter an ace mecha clan and enjoy the benefits of being an ace mecha clan. However, in the end, these useless people took over their position. This is an insult to all ace mecha operators. It's also an insult to these useless people. We can't accept it. "
Li Lanfeng's sharp and angry words made some people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee who didn't know the truth feel angry towards him. They started to suspect the mecha operators who accused Ling Lan. Was this the truth? Only a few high-ranking officers who knew the background of 250 Ace Mecha Clan knew that Li Lanfeng was spouting nonsense.
However, they couldn't refute Li Lanfeng's words on the surface. If it was a normal ace mecha clan, there would be cases of people slandering them because of this. After so many years, they had dealt with many such cases.
Li Lanfeng's righteous words caused the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to start whispering among themselves. The senior colonel knew that this was bad. He immediately said righteously, "These mecha operators are all experienced soldiers. They will definitely not do something like this for their own benefits."
Li Lanfeng sneered when he heard this. "Those sinners in history weren't born sinners." Everyone understood what he meant.
The senior colonel almost fainted from anger. Li Lanfeng was doubting them. Ever since the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was established, no one had dared to doubt them. This was a slap in their face. Li Lanfeng's words were like a slap to their face.
The senior colonel glared at Li Lanfeng. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. Li Lanfeng wasn't afraid at all. He looked back at the senior colonel with a firm gaze.
He had to work under Ling Lan's terrifying aura every day. The pressure this senior colonel gave him was nothing. Li Lanfeng didn't feel any pressure at all.
The senior colonel saw Li Lanfeng's calm expression and felt a little discouraged. Where did these young people come from? Even the most experienced and cunning high-ranking officers wouldn't be able to remain so calm in front of them. They didn't fear any of their attacks at all. Instead, they retaliated with all their might. Did they really not do those things? Was that why they were so confident? For the first time, the senior colonel had doubts about his investigation.
The major couldn't hold it in anymore when he saw his team leader being speechless. He jumped up and shouted, "Are you saying that they are making false accusations? Do you have any evidence? "
Li Lanfeng looked at him in disdain. "Do you have any evidence?" They didn't have any evidence but they still dared to make false accusations in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Did they think that they were a bunch of newbies that they could do whatever they wanted to them?
After going around in circles, they came back to the original point. The senior colonel knew that the evidence was their weak point. He wanted to use his experience to beat around the bush and make the other party panic. However, from the looks of it, the other party was very calm. They knew what was best for them. After going around in circles, they still couldn't escape from this problem.
The major was annoyed by Li Lanfeng's question. He didn't even think before he said, "Since you said that they are angry because they were kicked out of their mecha clans because they didn't meet the requirements, then let us see how qualified those mecha operators are."
They were all mecha operators that were kicked out of their mecha clans. He didn't believe that the other mecha operators were all ace mecha operators. If they found out that the results of the mecha operators were the same or even worse than those who didn't meet the requirements, they could prove that the other party used some illegal methods. Even if they couldn't convict them of murder, they could still take them away.
As long as they brought the other party back to the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee, it would be up to them to decide how to convict them. Hatred appeared in the major's eyes. He must destroy this person.
Ling Lan almost laughed out loud when she heard the major's words. 'Isn't this the same as passing me a pillow when I'm sleepy? As expected, the scariest thing was not meeting a scary opponent but a stupid teammate. '
The senior colonel hesitated for a moment after hearing the major's words. He had thought of the same thing as the major, but he didn't dare to touch on the fact that the other party had entered the top 10 mecha clans during the land clearing mission. Otherwise, he would lose everything.
The senior colonel's expression changed. In the end, he decided to go all out. Honestly, he didn't believe that most of the mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan had regained their ace mecha operators' capabilities. Back then, these people had been jointly diagnosed by various authoritative military medical experts, and they had clearly been judged to be incurable … Could it be that in the hands of this new regiment commander, they would be rejuvenated?
If it was so simple, 250 Ace Mecha Clan wouldn't have existed. The senior colonel felt that he had a chance. Hence, he nodded slowly. "What my team member said makes sense. Since you said that those people aren't qualified, why don't you ask the qualified people in your team to compete with them? Let's see the difference between us."
Ling Lan touched the teacup in her hand. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Ling Lan's silence made the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee happy. As expected, this was her biggest weakness.
"What's wrong? Regiment Commander Ling doesn't trust your qualified mecha operators?" The senior colonel regained his smile.
Ling Lan thought for a moment. Then, she said, "It's not impossible. However, if we ask everyone to compete, it will take too much time. Also, it's not easy to arrange. Why don't we send a few representatives over?"
'You want to send a few qualified representatives over?' 'This is the truth. There are so many mecha operators who are useless. I'm sure I'll be lucky enough to find a few who can recover.' The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee seemed to have discovered the truth. Everyone's eyes lit up. The major's face turned red with excitement. He seemed to have seen a huge achievement descending upon him.
"Regiment Commander Ling is right." The senior colonel's smile got brighter. The tense atmosphere between the two sides didn't seem to exist at all.
The major was anxious and angry when he saw that his team leader was so easygoing.
At that moment, the senior colonel spoke before Ling Lan could say anything. "How about this? Let's pick a few qualified and unqualified mecha operators to compete with. We don't know the capabilities of these mecha operators. This way, we will be able to choose fairly. "
The senior colonel was obviously trying to checkmate Ling Lan. He smiled and looked at Ling Lan's expression. He wanted to see a hint of panic on her face. Unfortunately, Ling Lan's expression didn't change at all. The senior colonel was disappointed.
Ling Lan heard the senior colonel's words. How could she not know what he was thinking? Unfortunately, she wasn't afraid. The results of the mecha operators were real. Those who passed would be taken away by her. Those who didn't would stay in the base to continue training.
Since the senior colonel wanted to be slapped in the face, Ling Lan wouldn't stop him. She nodded coldly. "Okay."
Ling Lan agreed without any hesitation. This made the senior colonel feel uneasy. However, he quickly tossed the uneasiness aside. He still believed in his own judgement. Perhaps, Ling Lan was still trying her luck. Who knows?
