Chapter 941 Big Trouble!
"Wang Baozhuang and Liu Furong were both in the 3rd Division, in the 9th Wings Regiment, but they were in different clans!" Little Four found where the two of them were connected.
"9th Wings Regiment was one of the highest ranked regiments in the 3rd Division back then. The Magic Ace Mecha Clan under it was also the runner-up to the position of the top titled special class mecha clan within the 3rd Division. Magic Ace Mecha Clan had the nickname 'Undefeated Mecha Clan'. This proved that they were a sight to behold back in the day."
"Back then, Liu Furong was still a small team leader. However, he had already caught the eyes of their regiment commander." Little Four had looked up the report Liu Furong's regiment commander had written about Liu Furong. One could tell that the regiment commander saw potential in Liu Furong and wanted to help him in his development.
"If it wasn't for the fact that Magic Ace Mecha Clan was completely decimated 15 years ago from an enemy ambush, Liu Furong might even have developed to be even more monstrous than now..." Those, who were team leaders from other mecha clans weaker than Magic Ace Mecha Clan, had already become regiment commanders of ace mecha clans by now. Some even became generals. Liu Furong on the other hand only had his rank upgraded, but was still only just a team leader.
"What happened 15 years ago has affected Liu Furong greatly. Although he led a broken team out of the ambush, he instantly went unconscious after getting out because of exhaustion. After he woke up, his memory of the battle was all mixed up. He was treated at the main military hospital for 5 months and then was discharged to rest at home."
"Five months? Then, when he was discharged, it was already September, when Wang Baozhuang and Wang Qi arrived on Planet Muyang." Ling Lan saw the files Little Four had shown her and suddenly remembered what Aunt Liu had told her. Liu Furong had once mentioned that his regiment commander was powerful. He didn't mean Ling Lan six years ago! Instead, there wasn't any regiment commander that he had admired after Magic Mecha Clan was completely wiped out 15 years ago. Liu Furong would always go through different clans and he had never stayed for more than one year in each one. After joining 250 Ace Mecha Clan in the 23rd Division, he finally stopped moving around.
"Little Four, check the files on the regiment commander of Magic Ace Mecha Clan." The most crucial person was this regiment commander.
"The regiment commander's name is called Wang Junan..." Little Four brought out the file on Wang Junan and handed it to his Boss.
Ling Lan read through Wang Junan's file quickly. She saw that before he was KIA, his wife was 6-months pregnant... She gave birth to a son in June.
"A baby boy?" Ling Lan looked at the picture of Wang Junan and quickly had Wang Qi's image appear in her mindspace.
"Don't the two of them look alike?" Ling Lan finally found a hint of some sort.
"Somewhat." Little Four looked back and forth between the two images. He felt that when the two of them stood together, they did indeed look similar.
"Then, that makes sense." Wang Baozhuang, Wang Qi and Wang Junan. They were willing to change their names and yet still didn't want to change the name of the regiment commander's son? It seemed Wang Junan was really admired by the soldiers in the clan. Even a logistician from a different clan was willing to help him even if it meant death.
"The files on the battle back then were almost all gone. Even if there are some files, they are limited in information. Not sure whether it was because those involved had perished or someone had meddled with the information and purposely hid it away." Little Four couldn't find any detailed records on battle that completely wiped out Magic Ace Mecha Clan.
"Of course someone meddled with the files! It's just we don't know whether those who meddled with it was helping them or their enemies," Ling Lan said with a frozen expression.
If the military wanted to know something, they would definitely get to the bottom of it. They were playing dumb on purpose since there weren't any details about it. The military would rather let a titled ace mecha clan get wiped out without any reason than to investigate to get to the bottom of this. It seemed that this issue had a lot of politics involved.
Ling Lan was in dismay. She was only running away from home to have some peace and quiet. She didn't want to do anything to upset the balance of the world. Why did God hate her and always create problems for her?
Ling Lan knew that she was amidst a huge problem now...
"Little Four, you unlucky little thing, why did you chose Planet Muyang?" Saddened, Ling Lan pinched Little Four's pink cheek and began to rub it furiously to quell her feeling of dismay.
"H-ow suold I rnow (How should I know)..." Little Four felt wrongly accused. Although the galaxy map was created by him, wasn't it still his Boss that pointed to this planet? How come he was to blame now?
"Boring, not as nice to pinch as Little White." Ling Lan disliked the fact that Little Four's face was not as chubby and wasn't as stretchy as Little White's face.
"Right, since we're talking about Little White, it has been playing around with Aijun recently. Does it not want to leave with us?" Ling Lan thought whether she should use this chance to toss away this dumb and cute pet.
"Not sure, but Little White goes out to the surrounding area of the town everyday for adventures with Little Jun." Little Four told Ling Lan what Little White had been up to these past few days.
"It's having a lot of fun, huh." It wasn't even think about her, his master, one bit. Ling Lan was disheartened that she kept a good for nothing pet. However, she wasn't apologetic about how she was just thinking of ruthlessly abandoning Little White.
"Rawr!" She suddenly heard Little White's angry roar. This was the difference of spiritual power. Other than Ling Lan or experts in spiritual power, the average person wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Not good!" Ling Lan's expression changed instantly. Little White was informing her that someone was making a move on Liu Aijun.
Ling Lan disappeared from the room and appeared at the location where Little White had screamed in the next second. However, she only discovered the grass and trees around her were a mess, while Little White and Liu Aijun were nowhere to be seen.
Ling Lan put out her finger, closed her eyes and felt the presence that was still lingering in the air...
"The earth element is quite thick here..." Ling Lan immediately knelt down and pushed her right hand into the ground to feel the changes in the earth element.
"Who knew that a small planet like Muyang would actually have an earth element domain realm master. Plus, he is at least a titled domain realm master if he could kidnap Liu Aijun and Little White from my watchful eyes."
Right as Ling Lan felt the enemy's location, she heard a loud explosion coming from the Liu family's home.
Ling Lan's concentration was disrupted. Now, the trail she had caught on from the earth element domain realm master instantly brokne off. She sensing it again, but she could not sensed it
anymore.
"Sh*t!" Ling Lan could only give up on searching and run back to the Liu family's house. She saw the originally old and tattered home of the Liu family had already become a pile of debris.
Aunt Liu was sweeping the yard at the time. Although she was sent flying by the shockwave produced by the explosion, she was not hit with anything. She didn't have any life-threatening injuries and was quite lucky.
Seeing Ling Lan appear, Aunt Liu, who was dumbstruck and had a blood smear on the corner of her mouth, instantly regained her focus. She cried happily, "Jiang Hui, it's a good thing you're okay." Just now, she actually thought Jiang Hui had perished in the explosion. That was because in her mind, Jiang Hui should have been in the guest room eating breakfast.
Ling Lan helped Aunt Liu up and brought her to rest in the open area outside. She then took out a vial of medicinal agent and gave it to Aunt Liu as she comforted her, "Aunt Liu, I'm fine. This is medicine for treating your wounds. Rest for now."
Chapter 942 Who Is It?
Aunt Liu nodded and drank the medicinal agent obediently. Although she knew this type of medicine was expensive, she still needed to regain her health in order to take care of her two children. For that, even if she was to owe a huge favor to Jiang Hui, she still had to accept it.
The commotion at the Liu family house alerted the neighbors around them. They all came running when they heard the explosion. When they saw Aunt Liu, they all rushed forward and asked her about the situation. They asked whether there were people under the rubble and whether she needed help.
Although Planet Muyang was somewhat underdeveloped, the relationship between neighbors were much better than those seen in more modernized planets. The neighbors here were willing to lend a helping hand and not just watch coldly on the side.
Seeing that there were two ladies around the same age as Aunt Liu comforting her, Ling Lan backed away from them. She looked at the rubble that used to be the Liu family's house again and narrowed her gaze. There was no doubt that this explosion was aimed to kill her.
"Little Four, rewind the video." She wanted to see who caused the explosion.
After rewinding the tape to four days ago, Ling Lan finally saw the culprit. After Ling Lan had left the Liu family home that day, one of the neighbors entered the home to ask for some soy sauce from Aunt Liu. When Aunt Liu went to get the soy sauce, the neighbor's seemingly random moving hand touched a blind spot on a piece of furniture 'accidentally' while she was talking to Aunt Liu.
Just like that, the neighbor stuck a miniature time bomb on the blind spot of the furniture.
The movements and expression of that person seemed to be natural. Ling Lan and Little Four didn't think that someone on Planet Muyang would want to get rid of them so quickly, and so they had neglected the possibility of it happening that quickly.
Ling Lan looked around again and discovered that among the group of neighbors who came out of their house, that person had a face full of sincerity when she was talking to Aunt Liu as though she was actually concerned about Aunt Liu's safety.
"Little Four, ever since we came out to travel, have I become less alert about my surroundings?" The similar environment to her previous life, the slow way of living, had made Ling Lan feel much more peaceful. She had indeed become much less alert about her surroundings than before.
"Yeah. Though we didn't know that such a peaceful-looking planet would actually hide this many secrets," Little Four murmured. He felt his Boss wasn't to blame. After all, they had only came here to travel on a whim. If traveling required them to constantly be alert and on guard like being on a mission, then where would the fun be? It would better to just rest at home instead.
"However, since they made on move on us, then if I don't reciprocate, then that won't be like me." Ling Lan smiled coldly. She slowly walked forward and went to join the crowd. She then went beside the neighbor in question.
Although Ling Lan was there, everyone naturally neglected her, including the neighbor she was moving towards.
Suddenly, the neighbor felt her throat was being choked ruthlessly. She wanted to scream out loud but her voice just wouldn't come out. She wanted to move too but she couldn't move a muscle.
'What is happening?' Before she could react, she had already arrived in an open wasteland area in the next second. Right at that moment, the choke hold was suddenly released. This 40 year old woman instantly knelt to the ground as she coughed hoarsely. It was though she was about to cough her lungs out.
Right at that moment, the woman who was weak from all the coughing suddenly pounced behind her. A silver colored sharp objected appeared in her hands as she ruthlessly stabbed towards Ling Lan, who was standing behind her.
"Bang!" Ling Lan only used one finger and flicked the dagger away. The dagger instantly shattered into thousands of pieces.
The woman was stunned, and she quickly backed away from Ling Lan. When she wanted to make a run for it, the belts that were originally wrapped around the Ling Lan's arms suddenly loosened and pounced towards her like snakes.
"Bam!" The belts were like long whips, wrapping around her legs, causing the woman to fall down.
No matter how much the woman tried to struggle free, she was still slowly dragged towards Ling Lan by the belts wrapped around her.
"Who are you?" Ling Lan asked calmly.
The woman glared at Ling Lan angrily, but didn't make a sound.
"Yao Minyi, born on Planet Muyang... never went to school. A person who stays at home to take care of her younger brother and sister would definitely not have moves like yours." Ling Lan knelt down with leather gloves on her hands and squeezed the woman's face.
"The muscles on your face have been reconstituted. Your bones seem to have also been done." Ling Lan used her Qi-Jin to feel the woman's face and instantly understood the situation.
"It seems that the real Yao Minyi has already been disposed of by you. Did you use Yao Minyi's identity to surveillance on the Liu family?" It was probably because Liu Furong had unknowingly left something incriminating, but they didn't have proper evidence on him. That was probably why they used this method to keep a watch on the Liu family.
Yao Minyi didn't answer and only glared at Ling Lan coldly.
"It seems I am right."
Ling Lan's words stunned Yao Minyi. She didn't know how this person could be so confident that his guess was right. She didn't even answer Ling Lan.
"Sometimes, not answering is also answering." Ling Lan smiled as she put her right index finger on Yao Minyi's forehead.
Yao Minyi suddenly felt a coldness go from her forehead into her brain. It was so comforting that she wanted to moan, but there was also an indescribable terror that made her hairs stand on end.
Ling Lan smiled as she took back the belts. The belts that were flying around everywhere, wrapped around Ling Lan's arm naturally and hid within her sleeves once again.
Ling Lan's actions dumbfounded Yao Minyi. She didn't know why her opponent didn't do anything to her and let her go.
"Don't be grateful to me. You're just useless to me now." Ling Lan shook her head and disappeared in the next second.
Yao Minyi waited for a moment. When she discovered that her opponent had indeed left, she couldn't help but laugh coldly, "As expected of a child. He was actually soft-hearted under this situation. Our team leader was actually worried that someone like this would cause us problems..."
In her mind, she remembered the words her team leader had told her recently. Then, she suddenly began to remember how she came to Planet Muyang. In the end, she actually began to have flashbacks to times when she was in the hellish training program organized by the organization...
"Why am I thinking about these things. Sh*t, sh*t..." Yao Minyi began to hit her own head. Those memories were all hidden in places deep in her mind as she didn't want to ever remember them. However, those memories suddenly flooded her mind. She wanted to remember happier things, but for some reason, couldn't control her thoughts.
In the end, Yao Minyi held her head and knelt to the ground in pain. She felt as if she was being split open. The pain from it made her almost go insane.
Yao Minyi, who could no longer handle the pain, began to roll around on the ground. In the end, she had gone unconscious from the pain.
When she woke up once again, Yao Minyi saw the bright sun above her head. She felt that it was odd that she would be sleeping on the floor. She then suddenly remembered something and immediately got up. She dusted the dirt off her and quickly ran towards the Liu family house.
She was Yao Minyi, a person born on Planet Muyang, and mother of two children. Now, her best friend, who grew up with her, had something happened to her house. How could she not be beside her to comfort her?
Yao Minyi, who had more important things to do, stopped thinking about why she woke up on the ground and quickly went to the Liu family home.
Now, Yao Minyi was the real Yao Minyi. The spy who organization had sent to survey the Liu family no longer existed.
Chapter 943 Frustration!
"Master, Little Blossom is back." The moment Little Blossom left Yao Minyi's mind, he merged with Ling Lan's spiritual power in the air and used it to return to Ling Lan's mindscape.
Ling Lan smiled. She tapped Little Blossom's cold and chubby face then complimented him. "Little Blossom, you did well."
Little Blossom followed Ling Lan's command and destroyed all the memories that weren't related to the real Yao Minyi. All the information that was left was all related to the real Yao Minyi. These memories in her head would make the woman believed that she was the real Yao Minyi.
Since they destroyed a Yao Minyi, she would return another Yao Minyi to the family and make this family perfect again.
Little Blossom finally smiled when he heard his master praising him. Little Four saw the smile and his chip surprisingly became hotter. He almost shutdown again just like that time when he saw his Boss smiling.
Little Four managed to regain his sense after he recuperated for some time. He suddenly realized that he had a fetish towards smiles. That was why he couldn't handle his Boss's smile in the past and now, he couldn't handle Little Blossom's smile too. Thinking back, he really couldn't resist against people who always wore a smile on their faces, for instance, Ling Xiao, Lan Luofeng, Luo Lang, Luo Chao...
Based on this theory, he should like Li Lanfeng too. However, Little Four weirdly didn't have a good impression of Li Lanfeng. It must be because that fellow's smile was too fake. Only real smiles had effects on him.
Little Four felt at ease after he found the reason for the rise in the temperature of his chip. He just had a liking for real smiles. He wasn't enchanted by Little Blossom's smile.
In the learning space, Number Five saw Little Blossom's smile and said to the air above him, "Look, your teachings are useful. It's just that the effects couldn't be seen last time.
"Hmph." The space beside Number Five split open, then a sexy and charismatic woman walked out of the cracked space. It was Number Four.
"You didn't tell me that Little Blossom would evolve to become like its master." Number Four glanced at Number Five coldly. It was a mesmerizing glance. Number Five's heart wavered for a moment. If he wasn't focused enough, he might have already succumbed to Number Four's charisma. Number Five really respected Number One's resistance against Number Four. 'Is what Ling Lan said the truth? Is Number One actually asexual?'
Number Four didn't know that Number Five was thinking about the relationship between Number One and her. She was just immersed in her own thoughts. She remembered the setbacks she faced in front of Little Blossom. That time, she actually tried her best to groom a seductive and charismatic person who could use any expressions to curb his opponent. However, she didn't expect Little Blossom to start evolving.
Before Little Blossom evolved, he could still perform some of those various expressions. She was not satisfied with them but he could at least do the expressions when she asked him too. After he evolved, Little Blossom only had one expression. He only kept that cold face on him all the time. Number Four almost wanted to vomit blood when she saw that.
Number Four couldn't understand what was happening so she dragged Number Five out of his space and forced him to explain the situation to her.
Number Five told her the truth. Little Blossom's evolution path was based on his master. Little Blossom's master was Ling Lan and since Ling Lan constantly had a cold face after Number One's teaching, Little Blossom would move towards that direction too. Whether this path could be broken depended on Number Four's teaching.
Number Four almost went crazy when she knew that her disciple would become like Number One in the future. 'Damn it, I have enough of that ice-cold face. I don't want to see another cold face anymore.' That was why she wanted to come out and teach Ling Lan. Number Four felt that Ling Lan was led astray by Number One. She needed to save Ling Lan.
In order to not lose to Number One, Number Four spent much time and effort teaching Little Blossom. However, Little Blossom's evolution path was strong. The more effort she used, the colder Little Blossom became. In the end, Number Four couldn't take it anymore and kicked Little Blossom back into Ling Lan's mindscape.
'Damn it, I'm not playing with emotionless people anymore!
Number Four gritted her teeth in anger as she thought about this. She turned around and went to Number One's space. She wanted to vent her frustration on Number One.
Number Five didn't know how Number One dealt with Number Four. He was extremely curious but he knew that if he tagged along, he would be thrown into the little black room by Number One and be locked up inside for a few years. If he was locked inside for a few years, he would be unable to get close to Number Nine and touched her hand. Thus, Number Five decided to give up on following Number Four.
He needed some fun in his life. If not, what was the purpose of his life?
"Ah, something is happening! Haha, so many things are happening at the same time. How is our Little Ling Lan going to solve all these? This is exciting..."Number Five, who was thinking about Number Nine a moment ago, got attracted by what was happening in the real world. He took out a bag of sunflower seeds from somewhere and created a table out of nothing. Then, he sat on the floor and watched the show excitedly while munching on the sunflower seeds.
A fair hand grabbed a bunch of sunflower seeds and asked indifferently, "What's the situation now?"
"Haha, Little Ling Lan is alone while there are many enemies on the opposite side. They caught those people who are important to Ling Lan. Little Ling Lan is in a bad state now. She can't split herself up so who will she save first?" Number Five was schadenfreude.
"So, are you happy?" The voice was cold with a tinge of anger.
Number Five suddenly woke up. He looked at Number Nine's cold face and shook his head firmly. "No, I'm not. I'm very worried for Ling Lan too."
He couldn't let Number Nine know his real thoughts. Number Five knew that Number Nine treated Ling Lan as her own child. He couldn't provoke a mother, especially when he had romantic thoughts towards the mother too.
"Hmph!" Number Nine knew that Number Five didn't mean what he said. However, she didn't have the time to bother about Number Five's thoughts for now. Just like what Number Five said, Ling Lan was in trouble now.
As Ling Lan and Little Four looked for Liu Aijun and Little White, Wang Baozhuang, whose real name was Luo Yi, was seriously injured. He got carried to the Liu family with the help of his neighbours. If Ling Lan didn't feed him a bottle of the restorative agent, he would have died by now. After he woke up, he told Ling Lan that Wang Qi and Liu Aijun got kidnapped by some unknown people. He wanted to stop them but he was almost beaten to death.
"A trap after a trap. What a cunning scheme." Ling Lan frowned deeply. Planet Muyang was an unfamiliar planet to her. She finally understood how frustrating it was to be curbed by her opponent. The sudden enemy, the sudden change, and the secrets hidden for 15 years made her confused and her mind be in a whirl.
Chapter 944 Go Home!
Aunt Liu was flabbergasted when she heard that Liu Aijun was kidnapped. Then, she hurriedly ran to the place where he always played at. She had a breakdown when she saw no one was there.
"Jiang Hui, is Aijun kidnapped too? Is it the enemy of their father? Is it?" Aunt Liu wasn't gentle anymore, as she grabbed Ling Lan's hand agitatedly.
"Aunt Liu, calm down. This has nothing to do with Uncle Liu." Ling Lan used some spiritual power as she spoke. It woke up Aunt Liu who was drowned by emotions.
Aunt Liu felt her mind becoming clearer. She calmed down and started crying. "It's all my fault. I can't even protect my children."
'Crying is a good thing.' Ling Lan relaxed for the moment. She signaled to another woman at the side and asked her to console Aunt Liu.
"Boss, what do we do now?" Little Four didn't know what to do in the face of such a sudden situation.
"Look for Wang Qi and Liu Aihua," Ling Lan rubbed her forehead as she said.
"What about Little White?" Little Four was more concerned about Little White who had some relationship with him.
"With Little White around, anyone below the domain realm won't be able to hurt Liu Aijun." Ling Lan replied calmly, "I'm more worried about Wang Qi and Liu Aihua, especially Wang Qi. I feel that the opponent's real objective is him. The Liu family is just to confuse me."
'I understand, Boss." Little Four got a trance so he started tracking Wang Qi and Liu Aihua. Little Four's tracking ability was impressive. After some time, he managed to find the den of the people that kidnapped Wang Qi and Liu Aihua.
"Here?" Ling Lan was shocked but not surprised. This was the only place that had the ability to restrict her movements.
"The government of Planet Muyang. Let me see who you are!" Ling Lan prepared to save the two people. However, before she left, she hid Aunt Liu and Luo Yi somewhere safe. She didn't want them to get abducted after she came back from saving the two people. It was tiring to keep saving people.
"Aunt Liu, did Uncle Liu leave any words behind? For instance, someone you can find for help when you meet any trouble." Ling Lan only hoped that Liu Furong was a responsible person. Aunt Liu thought for a moment and shook her head. There was no one she could rely on in Planet Muyang. If not, she wouldn't have to lead such a poor life.
Ling Lan had expected this answer. She just asked in case there was some chance. After she heard Aunt Liu's reply, she decided to bring them along with her. She would hide them close to her while she was carrying out her plan. Under Little Four's surveillance, her opponents wouldn't have a chance to attack them.
Just as Ling Lan was about to tell Aunt Liu her decision, Aunt Liu suddenly thought about something. She gasped and ran into her house. The house was in ruins but the courtyard was still there.
There was a cellar in a corner of the courtyard. She opened it and walked in. Ling Lan was afraid that Aunt Liu would face some danger so she followed her closely.
It was a simple cellar. The walls were made from crude soil. In one glance, you could see the entire cellar. Besides cabbage and potatoes, there was nothing of value in the cellar.
Of course, this was what a normal person would see. Ling Lan used her spiritual power to scan the area and noticed an abnormal spot.
Unsurprisingly, Aunt Liu walked to the abnormal spot. She took a shovel from the wall and started digging the spot.
The soil in the cellar was hard. Aunt Liu started panting after digging a few times. Ling Lan came forward and said, "Aunt Liu, let me do it."
"Thank you. Jiang Hui, dig in this direction. My husband said that if I meet any life-or-death situation, I can dig the thing out. It may be able to save my life." After Aihua was born, her husband came back to see the baby. Before he left, he left her with this sentence. Many years had passed so Aunt Liu had forgotten about it. Her husband had just casually mentioned it at that time too.
Ling Lan used her domain energy and dug the ground. After some time, a deep hole was formed. Aunt Liu didn't suspect anything. She just thought that Ling Lan had herculean strength. Clang! The shovel hit something hard. Ling Lan bent down and picked up a hard object.
It was a small wooden box in the size of a palm. It looked like a metal box and the sound when the shovel hit it sounded like a metal box too. However, Ling Lan knew that it was really made from wood. This wood was a special kind of wood, metal wood. This kind of wood was as tough as metal.
But, it could still be burnt. A high temperature was required to burn this type of wood but it could still be burnt.
There was a passcode lock on the box. Ling Lan looked at Aunt Liu. A passcode was needed to open the box.
"It's a four-number passcode lock," Ling Lan reminded Aunt Liu.
"It's Aihua's birthday, 0430." Aunt Liu thought for a moment. She remembered her husband telling her that it was a birthday gift for Aihua.
Ling Lan pressed the number and heard the sound of lock opening. The wooden box opened, revealing a small object that looked like a button.
Ling Lan was speechless when she looked at the thing. She dug with so much effort and this was what she got? If she knew this would happen, she would have contacted 250 Ace Mecha Clan directly.
"Ah, it's this." Aunt Liu's eyes lit up. She took the button and squeezed it.
The button broke...
Ling Lan felt helpless as she asked, "Aunt Liu, do you know what this is?"
Aunt Liu nodded. "My husband told me that we can use this to communicate with him when he was away from us. However, the communication is one way and it can only be used one time. I wonder if he can receive it." Aunt Liu was worried that the communicator was spoilt.
Aunt Liu was hopeful but Ling Lan knew that she couldn't rely on Liu Furong. Liu Furong was on Planet Haijiao now, helping 250 Ace Mecha Clan to gain more merits. Even if he had returned to the Federation, he was still a few millions of light-years away from Planet Muyang. He would need at least ten days to reach here.
By the time Liu Furong reached here, it would already be too late.
Ling Lan had no choice but to continue with her ordinary plan. She brought Aunt Liu and Luo Yi along with her as she went towards the central government building of Planet Muyang.
At the same time, the shuttle that entered Planet Muyang once a week was moving towards it slowly. There was a passenger who had a thick beard on the shuttle. His eyes revealed his excitement and longing. Suddenly, his expression changed for the worse. He turned agitated. He wanted to land on Planet Muyang immediately.
This man was Liu Furong. After Liu Furong returned to 250 Ace Mecha Clan, he requested for a leave from Lin Zhong-qing. When his leave was approved, he travelled to many planets and changed his disguise multiple times. After confirming that no one was following him, he used the disguise that he always put on when he went home.
Chapter 945 Seven Stars of the North!
In an underground secret room under the central government building, the prime minister looked at the frightened Wang Qi and the trembling Liu Aihua then frowned. He looked at the 30-year-old young man sitting at the side and asked, "Mr. Yi, why do you need to do this?"
"You have been found out." Mr. Yi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took a stick out. He placed it in his mouth and flicked his fingers. A small flame appeared from the tip of his finger and he used the flame to light up the cigarette.
"Impossible. We have been watching over him for almost a year." They didn't notice anything amiss.
"You underestimate Luo Yi. He is just a logistician but he came from the best ace mecha clan. His anti-reconnaissance ability is as good as any professional." Mr. Yi took a puff of his cigarette. He flicked the cigarette above the ashtray and continued, "He must have noticed your men when they were watching over him. However, he knew that he didn't have the power to escape so he chose to bear with it and wait for a chance to strike back patiently."
"Are you saying that he found his chance?" The prime minister turned serious. The people watching over Luo Yi didn't tell him anything.
"Despair gives courage even to cowards." Mr. Yi gave a sinister smile. "That person is just a young traveler. I don't understand why he dares to take such a huge risk."
The prime minister heaved a sigh of relief. His men weren't the ones that were useless. His opponent just decided to take a risk.
"However, we haven't found out if the item is with them. If we act now, will it interfere with the organization's overall plan?" the prime minister asked worriedly. In order to bait a big fish, their organization didn't attack their target immediately when they found his position. Instead, they sent him to take over the position of the prime minister on Planet Muyang so that they could control their target entirely. What Mr. Yi did just expose them.
The prime minister was unhappy that Mr. Yi kidnapped these two people without informing him first. However, since Mr. Yi was sent by the organization, his status was higher than him. Hence, he could only suppress his anger.
"I don't want to do it too. But, there is another unknown faction on Planet Muyang..." Mr. Yi's expression turned stern. "Their target is Wang Qi too. They even kidnapped the son of the Liu family."
When they received news that Wang Qi was attacked on his way back from the casino, they rushed over immediately, only to realize that the other party had erased all traces. There were no clues left behind. They managed to find the headquarters of the other party after much effort but when they sent their special forces over, no one was there. There was nothing inside it too. It was as if no one had ever used the place.
Without a doubt, the other party had seen through all their plans. This was the only reason why they were able to retreat before they were exposed. It didn't feel good when your opponent was always ahead of you. When he knew that his opponent had kidnapped the son of the Liu family, he was afraid that they would kidnap Wang Qi too so he decided to act first.
The prime minister got a reality check of him not having full control of Planet Muyang. The underground gambling dens was a section he couldn't touch. He couldn't touch the new faction too. Mr. Yi had no choice when he made this decision to kidney the two children. It was better than letting the other faction take Wang Qi away. He wouldn't be able to answer to his organization if that had happened.
"Why didn't you bring Luo Yi too?" Leaving a person out would expose their plan, right? The prime minister was puzzled. "If that item is in his hand, he will bring it here to exchange for the sole descendant of Wang Junan." Mr. Yi explained, "If he doesn't have it, it means that it's with this boy. If not... it is with her father." Mr. Yi looked at Liu Aihua.
Liu Aihua started trembling harder when she noticed Mr. Yi's gaze. Tears started falling down her face. Although Liu Aihua was much calmer than most children her age, she was still scared when she got abducted suddenly and brought to an enclosed space. She knew that crying out loud might irritate her kidnappers so she cried silently. The guards looking after her felt pity for her when they saw her expression.
"We still haven't found out her father's real identity yet. Are you sure that he is related to Luo Yi?" the prime minister asked curiously.
"The organization has always been tracking Luo Yi. At first, we thought he came to Planet Muyang because it's remote. However, there are many other planets that are remote and peaceful too. Why did he choose Planet Muyang? There must be some other reasons. There might be people he knew on this planet who could help him cover up his identity."
"Is that the reason why the organization started taking notice of the Liu family? No wonder the organization asked me to watch over the Liu family too." The prime minister felt enlightened.
"Of course. Luo Yi has seen many life-or-death situations on the battlefield. His blood is colder than a normal person. Would he be so kind and take care of a little girl for no reason?" Mr. Yi laughed coldly, "It must be because the Liu family is related to him. No matter what, the Liu family has something to do with him." Luo Yi didn't know that he dragged the Liu family into this just because he helped them out.
"We can't find the name 'Liu Zhongguo' in the military's mainframe. He must be a mercenary." The prime minister revealed his findings. "He comes back every five years. This fits the holiday of a mercenary."
"Five years? The last time he came back was five years ago, right?" Mr. Yi thought about something.
"Yes. It has been five years. Two more months and it'll be the sixth year." The prime minister checked the records on Planet Muyang for the past years and noticed that Liu Zhongguo came back every five years.
"He should be coming back soon. Before seeing Liu Zhongguo personally, I can't confirm if he is a mercenary Luo Yi befriended outside or is he this person." Mr. Yi moved his wrist and a photo flew out of his hand.
The photo pierced into the wall on the opposite side of the room. The prime minister looked over and saw a handsome young soldier around 30 years old. His gaze was intense. It was a photo of Liu Furong when he first became a major.
"Liu Furong from the Seven Stars of the North." The prime minister narrowed his eyes. "He is the only one remaining from the Seven Stars of the North."
"Didn't they say that he is crippled?" The prime minister had been on Planet Haijiao for the past year so he didn't know that Liu Furong was back on the battlefield.
