A few soldiers on duty were left in the atrium . The rest were recruits that managed to enter the 23rd Division . The other recruits looked at Ling Lan and her team in fear . Ling Lan's ruthlessness and her team's cohesiveness made them realized that this was a bunch of people they couldn't afford to offend .

The people from the Third Men's Military Academy discussed for a moment . After some time, someone among them stood up and greeted Qi Long . No one dared to approach Ling Lan because he looked too fierce and cold . Qi Long had a humble and honest face so they decided to befriend him first .

Qi Long did not reject the offer to befriend the people from the Third Men's Military Academy . His open personality caused the people to let their guards down and the relations.h.i.+p between the two parties turned harmonious quickly . Both parties had the intention to cooperate with each other and decided to form an alliance . The other two academies looked at the cheerful atmosphere on the other side of the room and started regretting . They were angry at themselves for being too timid, causing them to lose the opportunity to befriend the recruits from the First Men's Military Academy first .

However, the recruits that entered the 23rd Division were all smart people . They knew that it was impossible to survive in the division alone . Very soon, other academies started approaching the recruits from the First Men's Military Academy . In a short while, all the recruits that were waiting in the atrium started making friends with each other . They even formed a new Recruit Cooperation Team where people would take a vow and promised to help each other when veterans humiliated them purposely .

This was all possible because of Ling Lan's strong ability . If he could defeat a team captain of the special forces, Lian Shaojing, he would be able to defeat other normal team captains .

The recruits knew that they would be distributed to the various military camps after they finished their recruit training . The battle teams in these military camps were not as powerful as the special forces . So when the news of what happened today began to spread, the veterans would consider twice before bullying them . Ling Lan was their s.h.i.+eld that would protect them from the veterans .

Ling Lan didn't care about all these little things . Public relations was something Qi Long and his friends were in charge of . Ling Lan closed her eyes and appeared to be taking a rest . However, she was actually discussing with Little Four to see how they should solve this issue with the special forces so that the special forces would not find them for trouble too soon .

Ling Lan was clear that the recruits would not be able to defeat anyone from the special forces .

She purposely injured Lian Shaojing because she wanted to let Qi Long and her team to have some crisis awareness . She didn't want them to think that everything would be smooth once they entered the 23rd Division . She could defeat Lian Shaojing without injuring him or making such a huge commotion . However, her motive would not be achieved .

Qi Long and her team members would enter the battlefield one day . She didn't know if she would be able to fight beside them at that point in time . She had to pressure them now so that they would continue working hard even after entering the 23rd Division . The special forces would be a good motivation for them .

She had asked Li s.h.i.+yu to write a proof of injury for her so that the special forces had no reason to target them openly . However, if the special forces wanted to harm them secretly, she couldn't stop them . She was not able to be with her team for the three months recruit training so she needed to make sure that the special forces would not act during this period of time .

She was not afraid of the special forces targeting her . With her ability, she was confident that she could fight the commander of the special forces . She had her father, the Regiment Commander of the 23rd Division, to help her too if things went out of hand .

But, her friends were different . If Lian Shaojing found the opportunity to injure or harm her friends during the recruit training, she would not be able to do anything . She must prevent any chances of this happening .

After thinking for a long time, Ling Lan decided to use her ultimate weapon .

“Little Four,” Ling Lan called . Little Four was probably talking to the mainframe of the s.p.a.ceport now but he could move around freely in the virtual world . Hence, once she called him, Little Four should appear instantly .

“Boss, are you looking for me?” Just as she expected, Little Four appeared almost immediately . He smiled at her .

“Send the video of what happened to my father,” Ling Lan ordered him .

Little Four's eyes shone . He got excited . “Boss, are you finally going to find your father for help?”

Boss rarely finds her father so Little Four didn't have the opportunity to talk to Ling Xiao at all . In actual fact, even if Ling Lan did contact Ling Xiao, Little Four would not be able to talk to him too . However, Little Four was too elated that he forgot about this fact .

“Yes . For the sake of my friends' safely, I need to ask for help from my father . ” If she could use her father, she would . She felt that there was nothing wrong with it . Its was not like she was asking something unreasonable from her father .

In the official residence given to the Regiment Commander of the 23rd Division .

Ling Xiao was looking through the internal information sent to him by the military . He heard someone opening his door forcefully and soon after, a beautiful figure rushed towards him .

“Ling Xiao, I want to go and look for my daughter . ” Lan Luofeng said, looking at him in anger . If she didn't call Adviser He just now, she would not know that their daughter was returning today . This b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually kept this news from her . She was furious .

“Luofeng, just bear with it for a while,” Ling Xiao rubbed his eyes and said helplessly . If he let Lan Luofeng out, he would not be able to hide his daughter's ident.i.ty as his child anymore . This meant that his daughter would have to continue pretending to be a boy in the future .

“I have not seen my daughter in a long time . ” Lan Luofeng said, slamming the study table angrily . This man was the reason why she could only communicate with her daughter through a communicator . She missed her daughter so much . She wanted to hug and kiss her daughter in real life . She didn't want to just talk to her through a call!

“Lan Luofeng, just wait for a while . If you go over now, people will find out about Ling Lan's ident.i.ty . You know that I have many enemies . They might try to harm our daughter if they knew her ident.i.ty,” Ling Xiao got up and told Lan Luofeng seriously while holding her shoulders .

Lan Luofeng calmed down a little when she heard what Ling Xiao said . She became logical . She pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows . “When will you let me see my daughter then?”

“Once she finished her recruit training, I will arrange for her to come to the headquarters . The headquarters is filled with my own people so you can do whatever you want with her,” Ling Xiao replied while looking at Lan Luofeng carefully . He was afraid that she would get angry and flared up at him .

“Three months? No way, that is way too long! I can only wait for a few days . Once our daughter enters the recruit camp, I must see her . ” Lan Luofeng was not satisfied with the arrangement, as she gave her requirements immediately .

Ling Xiao was frustrated . He pondered about it for a while before making a final decision . “Fine, I will arrange for you to enter the recruit camp to take a look at her . ” As the wife of the Regiment Commander of the 23rd Division, it was reasonable for her to visit the recruits . Ling Xiao was prepared to use his authority to let his wife's wish to be fulfilled .

Ling Xiao agreed to her request so quickly that Lan Luofeng got suspicious . She looked at him curiously and asked, “You are not lying to me, right?”

Lan Luofeng had many experiences of Ling Xiao tricking her . When Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't reject her, he would agree to her request first . Then, on the day that he was supposed to fulfill his promise, coincidences would happen and his promise never held up . If this happened just a few times, Lan Luofeng might believed him . However, it happened way too many times . Even an idiot would realize that something was amiss .

“Of course . I will not lie to you . ” Ling Xiao gave a bitter smile . He knew that she didn't believe him because of what had happened in the past . But, his position was different now . He could make his own decisions . No one would dare to go against him if he wanted to pamper his wife .

Also, he missed his daughter too . He needed to think of a way to get his daughter out of the recruit training camp . In the recruit training camp, eight people slept in one bunk . He couldn't bear the thought of his daughter sleeping together with seven other men . They lived together and trained together… Ling Xiao felt that it was unacceptable . He would never allow his daughter to go to the recruit training camp . Never .

Lan Luofeng still had her suspicion but she stopped making a fuss about it .

The two of them started to discuss when they should go over . Lan Luofeng felt that they should go over as soon as possible . If they could go on the first day of the recruit training camp, that would be the best . Ling Xiao agreed . He wanted to get his daughter out of that place too .

Ling Xiao decided that if there was no other choice, he would choose four recruits and order them to accompany Lan Luofeng to roam around the countries within the Federation . Ling Lan would be among those 4 recruits . Although this would be an obvious use of his authority for private purposes, he was willing to do it for the sake of his daughter .

The two of them started chatting about what they should buy for their daughter . At this moment, Ling Xiao's communicator beeped .

Lan Luofeng glared at him unhappily .  Why was someone disturbing them when they were spending time together at home?

Ling Xiao smiled at Lan Luofeng apologetically before looking at the message .

“General Ling Xiao . You have an email . The sender is Ling Lan . Would you like to accept it?”

Lan Luofeng immediately got excited and shouted, “Yes, yes!”

The communicator only recognized Ling Xiao's voice so Ling Xiao quickly followed his wife and said, “Yes . ”
