Chapter 1176-1180

Chapter 1176 The Ye Family?

"Did you find out which faction this new commanding officer belonged to?" Ling Lan asked.

"Major General Ye Kui from the Ye family. They seemed to have formed a collaboration with the second marshal but still maintaining a good relationship with the other two marshals. Hence, all three marshals might have agreed to this appointment. The main goal of this appointment is to take the Li family down a notch. After all, the two successors of the Li family are in your mecha clan. They are using the Li family to suppress you," Li Lanfeng replied with contempt.

"Do you mean that the Li family is placing all their bets on me?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

Li Lanfeng gave an ambiguous smile. "From the looks of it now, yes." If his grandfather still couldn't see who was the real king, he wasn't worthy of being the family head. Sometimes, he felt that his grandfather knew this all along but he just never told him.

Ling Lan wasn't surprised. She knew that the Li family would continue to support her as long as she was still useful to them.

"Where is Ye Kui?" Since Lingtian was still in control of Base Nebula, Ye Kui should be under their control too. He must be having a bad time.

"He's at the dormitory district." Li Lanfeng smiled. "He's restricted from leaving the compounds."

"You're so bold. Aren't you afraid that he will complain to the military headquarters?" Ling Lan smiled as she glanced at the crowd. She realised that these people had become bolder after following her. They even dared to lock up a commanding officer.

"We were finding spies in the base so Major General Ye has to suffer a little. He is prohibited from all kinds of communication." Li Lanfeng suddenly turned serious.

Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong couldn't help but smile when they heard this. Li Lanfeng's decisive act of locking Ye Kui up helped to stabilise the situation in Base Nebula. They felt that in terms of ruthlessness and decisiveness, they couldn't be compared with him. No wonder their regiment commander left him at the base.

"Good. We must keep Base Nebula safe. This is the foundation of our journey to being an independent army." Ling Lan commented on Li Lanfeng. Since her father wanted Lingtian to become an independent army, she mustn't let anyone disrupt the plan.

"Independent army?" The three of them looked at Ling Lan in astonishment. Lingtian becoming an independant army affected many parties so before the official announcement, the news of Lingtian becoming an independent army was kept a secret by the military headquarters. Thus, the people at the base didn't know about this.

"If no accidents happen, yes." Ling Lan nodded. There would definitely be a battle before they really became an independent army. However, she believed that her father would take care of it.

Although she never mentioned it, Ling Lan had always hoped that Lingtian would become an independent army. She had always been on the outside looking in in the battle for power. She was helpless when she saw her father getting impeded in his path. But, when Lingtian became an independent army, she wouldn't have to be a bystander anymore. She could be a participant and help her father. Her father wouldn't have to fight all alone anymore.

"The time will come soon.' This was the last time she would bear with this sense of helplessness.

Ling Lan clenched her fist secretly. Ever since she entered the military, she had been controlling herself. Every step she took was done carefully so that she wouldn't create trouble for her father. Finally, her efforts paid off. It was time for her to reap the fruits of her labour. Everything was worth it in the end.
