Xu Shiming looked at the invitation card in his hand with a serious expression. This invitation card was a hot potato. No matter if he went or not, he would offend one party. He was in a dilemma.
"Old Xu, why don't you not go?" The vice-leader of the scouts team, Yang Zhenyong, frowned.
Xu Shiming took out a cigarette box from his pocket and slowly took out a cigarette. He lit it up and took a puff before saying, "Old Yang, tell me your reason." Whenever he was in a dilemma, he would smoke a cigarette and listen to the opinions of the people around him.
"A strong dragon can't defeat a local snake. Du Mingyi has been running Base 013 for 20 years. Even if Ling Lan has a strong background, she will not be able to defeat Du Mingyi just by looking at Song Yiqing." Yang Zhenyong gave his opinion.
Xu Shiming nodded. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He remembered the domineering Ling Lan during the welcoming ceremony. She was not someone a coward like Song Yiqing could compare to.
"Leader, Regiment Commander Cui from the Ai 'er Mecha Clan is here." The team member on duty suddenly contacted Xu Shiming.
Xu Shiming was surprised. 'Why is Cui Yunxuan here?' He immediately replied, "Regiment Commander Cui."
"Cui Yunxuan?" Yang Zhenyong was surprised too.
"Yes. If he is here personally, he must have something important to say." Xu Shiming knew that Cui Yunxuan would not visit him for no reason.
The moment Cui Yunxuan entered the leader's office of the scouts team, he saw Xu Shiming and Yang Zhenyong. He casually found a sofa and sat down. He went straight to the point. "Did you get the invitation card from the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Ling Lan?"
Xu Shiming frowned. "You asked all the way here?"
Cui Yunxuan waved his hand. "How is that possible? The moment I got the invitation card, I came here directly. My instincts told me that you must have gotten it. "
Xu Shiming smiled bitterly. "Your instincts are right. I did get it. I didn't expect you to get it too. I wonder how many regiment commanders and team leaders got this invitation card. "
"You felt it too?" Cui Yunxuan's expression turned serious.
"Of course, their intention is obvious. They are forcing us to take sides." Xu Shiming understood Regiment Commander Ling's intentions when he received the invitation. Although Du Mingyi managed to suppress the news of 250 Ace Mecha Clan snatching the supplies from the base, Xu Shiming, who was a powerful officer, knew about it. The Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Ling Lan, and the Commanding Officer of Base 013, Du Mingyi, had completely fallen out with each other. It was impossible for the other mecha clans in the base to take advantage of the situation.
"Are you going?" Cui Yunxuan asked.
"What about you?" Xu Shiming asked instead of answering.
"I'll follow you." Cui Yunxuan was very straightforward. He directly told Xu Shiming his purpose for coming. If Xu Shiming went, he would go. If Xu Shiming didn't go, he wouldn't go. After many years of working together on the battlefield, Cui Yunxuan trusted Xu Shiming's judgment.
"You're quite straightforward …" Xu Shiming took another puff of the cigarette and leaned against the back of the chair. He looked up at the empty ceiling and thought seriously. Soon, the cigarette burned to the end. Xu Shiming then fiercely extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
Cui Yunxuan and Yang Zhenyong's eyes lit up. This meant that Xu Shiming had made his decision.
"My decision is very risky. If we're not careful, our future might stop. We might even be defeated." Xu Shiming looked at Cui Yunxuan sternly. "Why don't you come with me?"
"Go ahead, I'll listen to you." Cui Yunxuan was a decisive person, and this was also the reason why Xu Shiming was on good terms with him.
"I'm going." Xu Shiming thought about it carefully and decided to take the risk. No matter if it was the first time they met, Ling Lan's domineering attitude or the ruthless methods she used on the Evil Wind Mecha Team, it all proved that Ling Lan was not a simple person.
Of course, the reason why Xu Shiming was willing to stand on Ling Lan's side was because he didn't like Du Mingyi's despicable methods. He would rather fight with the cold and heartless Ling Lan than fight with despicable people.
Yang Zhenyong heard this and shook his head. Actually, when he saw Xu Shiming hesitating after receiving the invitation, he knew that he would make this decision. However, no matter what decision Xu Shiming made, everyone in their mecha team would support him. It should be known that if it wasn't for Xu Shiming, they would have died in the hands of Du Mingyi, who didn't know anything but liked to give random orders.
Just like that, Xu Shiming and Cui Yunxuan accepted Ling Lan's invitation and came to the headquarters of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
The regiment commanders and team leaders who came to the invitation all thought that this invitation was to reach a consensus. For example, they wanted to punish Du Mingyi for neglecting his duties. However, they didn't expect that this invitation was just for a normal gathering. It was as though a new regiment commander was making friends with someone from the same base. They talked about some unimportant things and didn't mention the conflict between him and Du Mingyi at all. This made the regiment commanders who came to the gathering confused. In the end, they all went back in confusion.
"Team Leader Xu, why do you think that person invited us?" Cui Yunxuan was also puzzled. They had offended Du Mingyi in order to attend this gathering. However, Regiment Commander Ling didn't seem to have any intention of cooperating with them. This made Cui Yunxuan feel uneasy.
After Xu Shiming came back, he kept touching his chin and thinking about something. When he heard Cui Yunxuan's question, he smiled and said, "Smart people do things."
It was impossible for Du Mingyi to get hold of his weakness. However, he had already done what he wanted to do. At first, Xu Shiming was still worried. However, after meeting Ling Lan, he felt more confident.
Cui Yunxuan looked at Xu Shiming's expression and asked curiously, "Did you all come to an agreement when I wasn't paying attention?"
Xu Shiming smiled and said, "How is that possible?" In reality, there was no need for them to come to an agreement. When they accepted the invitation, they had already come to an agreement.
"Boss, why don't you ask them what they think of Du Mingyi?" After all the regiment commanders and team leaders left, the confused Luo Lang went straight to Boss's office and asked him the question in his mind.
Everyone in the meeting room pricked up their ears and waited for Boss's answer. In reality, they had been waiting in the office for a long time because they wanted to know why Boss didn't do anything in the end.
"There are only two types of people who accepted the invitation. One is those who have a problem with Du Mingyi. The other is those who were sent by Du Mingyi." Ling Lan said calmly, "As long as I can understand this, I will have achieved my goal. It doesn't matter if they say anything or not."
Luo Lang's eyes widened. He didn't understand what Ling Lan said at all. Could it be that his IQ wasn't even a fraction of Boss'?
Han Jijun sighed and said, "Smart people will know that this gathering is a form of alliance. As for those who don't understand, just let them be so they won't cause any trouble. "
Luo Lang said angrily, "Han Jijun, are you mocking my stupidity?" Would he cause any trouble?
The veins on the calm personality's forehead were about to explode.
"I'm sorry." Luo Lang's gaze was calm as he apologized to Han Jijun.
