Ling Xiao's application for a public debate shocked the entire military. Although some people wanted to stop him, this was Ling Xiao's right. The military remained silent on Ling Xiao's matter but it didn't mean that they agreed to hold Ling Xiao accountable. Under such circumstances, Ling Xiao's application was approved quickly. Hence, a public debate was held in the Federation.
Just like what Li Lanfeng had predicted, the citizens of the Federation had different feelings towards Ling Xiao. Other than some people who were jealous of Ling Xiao, most of the citizens couldn't accept the fact that Ling Xiao was being held accountable by the law enforcement.
The debate was held as scheduled. The entire Federation's attention was on this debate. All the citizens of the Federation logged into the virtual world if they were free. They wanted to personally witness and participate in this debate.
During the debate, the law enforcement department condemned Ling Xiao's actions at the start of the debate. Then, they revealed that the mecha operator who made the citizens of the Federation excited and respected him, who piloted Ling Xiao's god-class mecha and gave Planet Haijiao hope, was actually Ling Xiao's son. The law enforcement department used this as evidence to prove that Ling Xiao secretly moved his god-class mecha to Planet Haijiao for his own selfish reasons. He wanted to protect his son and use the country's national treasure for his own personal use.
He Xuyang was the one who was in charge of arguing. He led a group of strategists and argued with the results. They wanted to hold Ling Xiao accountable based on the results. How much damage did General Ling Xiao's actions cause to the Federation?
The results made many prosecutors speechless. If it wasn't for General Ling Xiao's actions, all the troops stationed on Planet Haijiao would have been wiped out. The reinforcements that came later would also be in danger. The price they paid was 700 million citizens. General Ling Xiao's violation of the rules had indeed harmed one person, and that was his son, Lieutenant Colonel Ling Lan.
Very soon, Ling Lan's latest medical report was thrown out. His spiritual power had been directly overdrawn, his potential dropping to negative values. His body had suffered a devastating blow, and his potential had dropped to the lowest level, G-class. In other words, even if Ling Lan was lucky enough to recover from his injuries in the future, his original imperial operator level would no longer be there. The best outcome would be him advancing to advanced mecha warrior.
This consultation report came from the experts of the General Military Medical Hospital. It was the exact answer after being scanned by the Federation's most sophisticated and advanced medical equipment. There was no mistake. (It might not work on humans, but Little Four had no pressure at all when it came to this kind of low-level medical equipment.)
The result of Ling Xiao's private use of the country's weapon had saved nearly 600 million soldiers, but he had harmed his own son. He had caused the Federation to lose a potential god-class operator in the future. He had also caused him to lose a successor who could inherit his legacy. Was this really for his own personal gain?
In the end, He Xuyang's question shocked the citizens of the Federation. Yes, if it was really for his own personal gain, General Ling Xiao could have asked Ling Lan to operate a god-class mecha and leave secretly. With the power of a god-class mecha, Ling Lan would definitely be able to escape. Then, Ling Lan would still have a bright future ahead of him, and Ling Xiao wouldn't be held accountable.
However, in reality, the battle on Planet Haijiao depended on Ling Lan alone. He stood in front of the base alone and operated a god-class mecha to fight against countless enemies for 20 minutes. In the end, reinforcements arrived, but in the end, he was already half a step away from death.
The citizens of the Federation thought about the news of Ling Lan dying many times after the battle (Li Lanfeng's doing and Little Four's help secretly). This proved that at that time, Ling Lan was already prepared to live and die with the base. If the reinforcements didn't arrive, Ling Lan would have died. This meant that from the start, Ling Xiao and his son didn't have any personal gains. The god-class mecha was just a small part of General Ling Xiao's past.
The citizens of the Federation couldn't hold back their anger anymore. They instantly made their decision. The news of Ling Xiao being innocent was sent to the mainframe of the military headquarters from all directions. The number of comments was so large that the mainframe almost crashed.
Seeing how the support for Ling Xiao was increasing, the law enforcement agency knew that their plan to hold Ling Xiao accountable had failed. In the end, they lost because of the public opinion. Just like what Li Lanfeng said, the outcome of a battle was always the most important thing. As long as the outcome was better than the original, the citizens would naturally accept it and support it. With the support of Ling Xiao and Ling Lan's heroic actions, Ling Xiao was undefeatable from the moment this debate was passed.
Ling Xiao was not defeated in this crisis. Instead, his position in the hearts of the citizens rose again. However, Ling Xiao's frightening support rate from the public made many of the higher-ups in the military wary.
However, Ling Lan no longer cared about what happened after that. Ling Lan, who had recovered well, could no longer bear her mother's meticulous care.
As it turned out, after finding out that Ling Lan was getting better, she had shifted her focus from caring about Ling Lan's health to caring about Ling Lan's love life. She was very interested in the two daughters-in-law that Ling Lan had mentioned when he came back, and would often ask Ling Lan to meet her daughters-in-law in front of her. This made Ling Lan extremely frustrated. Could it be that she was so successful in pretending to be a man that her mother had forgotten that she was originally a girl?
Thus, even if Ling Lan wanted to be a lesbian, she would support it with both hands. If Ling Xiao didn't agree, Ling Lan wouldn't need to do anything. She would be the first to rush up and settle it.
Ling Lan told Lan Luofeng that she had no choice but to accept the daughters-in-law. It didn't count. She would definitely settle it in the future. After feeling disappointed, Lan Luofeng started to ask Ling Lan if she had any men that she liked. Sometimes, she would even discuss with Ling Lan which of the young and promising officers in 250 Ace Mecha Clan was suitable for her daughter. These topics made Ling Lan feel pressured. She was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, she would have a few more men. Her mother was obviously at the age where she wanted to splash water on her.
Since she couldn't afford to offend her, she would just hide. Faced with the immense pressure of Lan Luofeng's five-fingered mountain, Ling Lan finally packed up and left home.
"Ling Xiao, sob sob sob … My daughter left me a message. She left home." When Lan Luofeng saw Ling Lan's message, her first reaction was to look for Ling Xiao.
In reality, Ling Lan had already told Ling Xiao about her decision to leave home. Ling Xiao didn't want his wife to find a man for their daughter. However, he didn't dare to say anything in front of his wife. Ling Xiao was happy that Ling Lan decided to leave temporarily. He was also afraid that when he returned home one day, his daughter wouldn't belong to him anymore.
Thus, Ling Xiao didn't remind Lan Luofeng. Just like that, with Ling Xiao's protection, Ling Lan successfully escaped from under Lan Luofeng's nose.
