Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun's statement caused Shen Rufei's expression to change suddenly . “What? You two are from Lingtian too?”
Shen Rufei's words woke the other people up from their stupor . They realized that it was not an illusion . Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun were really from the Lingtian Battle Team . How could this be true? There were no such team in the 23rd Division . Did their captain went to another division? However, only people from the same division could form a team…
Everyone was puzzled . They didn't know if Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun said this because they wanted to stand up for their junior brothers or was there really such a team .
Over these years, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng rejected all the invites from various battle teams because they wanted to prove their loyalty to the Nameless Battle Team . This was why the captain of the Nameless Battle Team took two of them in .
Shen Rufei was shocked . Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng had no intention of replying to him . Li Lanfeng smiled mysteriously at him while Zhao Jun walked towards him slowly with the chair leg in his hand .
Although Shen Rufei was the commander of the Mecha Clan and was an ace mecha master, his physical skills was only at the higher-tier of Qi-Jin level . Zhao Jun was at the peak-level of Qi-Jin . He could subdue Shen Rufei easily all by himself .
Shen Rufei knew that he was unable to defeat Zhao Jun too . Cold sweat formed on his forehead . He started to regret coming to this place . He should have sent someone over . That way, even if the recruits rejected him, he would not be in such a difficult position .
Would he be embarra.s.sed just like this? Shen Rufei could almost see his future . He would be condemned by everyone in the 23rd Division and would never be able to raise his head again . He regained his senses and shouted immediately, “There is no Lingtian Battle Team in the 23rd Division . Don't try to lie your way through . Zhao Jun, you have no right to challenge me . ” He turned to look at the logistics commander standing beside the registration counter . “What are you doing? Shouldn't you do something about him? He is trying to take revenge on me by saying such lies . ”
The logistics commander didn't want to take part in the affairs of these officers . Most of these officers had a higher rank than him . However, he was not given any chances to stay out of the dispute .
The logistics commander looked at one of his staff members helplessly . The staff member instantly check his computer and shook his head thereafter . There was no Lingtian Battle Team registered in the system . Zhao Jun didn't have the right to launch an armed melee challenge at Shen Rufei .
The logistics commander coughed and said, “Major Zhao Jun, Major Li Lanfeng, I am sorry . There is no such battle team in the system . You do not have the right to challenge Senior Colonel Shen Rufei . ”
He talked calmly but in his heart, he was crying . These two people were both stronger than him . How could he stop them?
Shen Rufei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what the logistics commander said . But, he soon got angry again . “Zhao Jun, how dare you humiliate me like this…”
“Are you angry? Challenge me to an armed melee challenge then!” Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows in disdain . From the moment Shen Rufei humiliated Lingtian, their relations.h.i.+p was set . They would never be able to peacefully interact with one another . No matter how strong Shen Rufei's background was, Zhao Jun was not afraid . He had Ling Lan .
I feel so happy that boss was the son of General Ling Xiao . Zhao Jun finally understood how convenient it was to have a powerful father . Huh? Why am I thinking this way? I used to hate all the second generation of powerful people . Zhao Jun didn't expect himself to change so much . He was even happy that he had such a powerful friend…
Zhao Jun silently reprimanded himself . Then, he continued glaring at Shen Rufei . What can you do to me? Can you hit me?
Shen Rufei almost exploded when he saw Zhao Jun's expression . Many officers disliked Shen Rufei so they sneered at him secretly when they heard what Zhao Jun said . They admired how bold Zhao Jun was . If it was them, they would never have the guts to stand up to Shen Rufei .
By right, Shen Rufei didn't have the capabilities to become the commanding officer of a Mecha Clan . He just had a powerful background . Hence, even if many people didn't like him, they could only keep it in their hearts . This was why no one said anything even though they saw the flaw in Zhao Jun's armed melee challenge just now .
Shen Rufei seriously wanted to hit this Major standing in front of him . But, he was weaker than Zhao Jun . He had no choice but to swallow his frustration . His face turned hideous .
Everyone saw Shen Rufei's expression and started to worry for Zhao Jun . Those that knew Shen Rufei well knew that he would definitely do something behind the back to Zhao Jun . However, Zhao Jun had the Nameless Battle Team behind him . The Nameless Battle Team would be able to protect him .
“Dingdong~” The clock on the wall rang . Shen Rufei scanned the recruits with cold eyes . They were the ones who caused everything . If they accepted his request right from the start, none of these events would have happened .
Shen Rufei had already decided that he would not let Qi Long and his friends off . He said in a vicious tone, “There is only one hour left . Prepare to enter my Mecha Clan . ”
Qi Long and his friends were not affected by the words at all . Only Li Yingjie's face changed . Qi Long had Ling Lan but he had no one . He really didn't have a team . Would he land in Shen Rufei's hands?
Just as Li Yingjie was distraught, a handsome young man appeared at the door and attracted everyone's attention . This was because he wasn't wearing the military uniform . He only had a white doctor's gown on him .
Those who knew about the different uniforms in the military would know that this person was a high-ranking professional military doctor . Not everyone could wear the doctor's white gown out of the hospital . Only professional doctors with many achievements could wear it outside .
Everyone tensed up when they saw this person .
Only Li Yingjie felt elated to see him .
This person scanned his surroundings . He then saw Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng and quickly walked towards them . This person was none other that the famous military doctor, Li s.h.i.+yu . Many middle-rank officers didn't like him but they didn't dare to offend him too .
“Is there still no news?” He was supposed to come with Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng but an emergency patient was sent in . Thus, he was dragged by the dean of the hospital to the surgery room . The dean didn't have the confidence to perform the surgery so he wanted Li s.h.i.+yu to do it instead . Li s.h.i.+yu had no choice but to perform the surgery . He rushed here immediately after he finished the surgery so he didn't have the time to change .
Li Lanfeng shook his head . Li s.h.i.+yu was worried . “Do you think that our boss will…” He didn't manage to finish his sentence . He wanted to ask whether Ling Lan would fail the missions but he felt that Ling Lan would not fail if he set his mind to it . However, when he heard that no recruits ever succeeded in forming a team . This made him nervous . He wanted to believe in Ling Lan but he couldn't stop thinking about the slim chance that he might fail .
“No . He will succeed,” Li Lanfeng said firmly . He knew Ling Lan well . He would only do things only if he was confident that he would succeed .
Li Lanfeng turned and said to Qi Long and the other people, “Go and register first . We can wait for the good news from your boss after that . ”
Qi Long and the others nodded and went to register . He felt the same way as Li Lanfeng . He knew that his boss would succeed . Hence, it doesn't matter if he register first . He just needed to enter the battle team before the registration period ended .
While Qi Long and the others went to register, Li Yingjie and his men were perturbed . If they didn't have a team by the end of the registration period, they would be randomly allocated to different teams by the mainframe . They were used to following Li Yingjie and were afraid of being alone .
They grabbed Li Yingjie and wanted to get an answer from him .
Li Yingjie kicked them angrily . “I don't know what to do too . You all can still live happily in other battle teams . However, I will probably land in his hands . I don't even know how long I can live under him . ” He raised his chin and signaled at Shen Rufei . His own situation was worse than his men .
“What shall we do?” His men suddenly remembered Li Yingjie's plight and became depressed . From the Scout Academy till now, they had always been together . They offended a lot of people and created troubles together . They had a good relations.h.i.+p with each other so they were worried for Li Yingjie .
“Leader, why don't you join boss's battle team?” Someone suggested to Li Yingjie .
“Huh? Be under Ling Lan? No way . I am an arrogant person . How can I do that?” Li Yingjie shook his head furiously .
He didn't notice that his men were staring at him sarcastically . You have already bowed down to boss in your heart . Why are you still being tough on the outside .
However, since they had been friends for so many years, they decided to not expose Li Yingjie lie . They looked at each other and decided to persuade their leader for the sake of his future .
“Leader, this is a plan,” One of his men said .
“Plan?” Li Yingjie blinked in confusion .
“You can make use of our boss to overcome the current obstacle first . If you want to form your own battle team next time, we will join you,” The person started his persuasion .
“You can do this too?” Li Yingjie was moved . He had been suppressed by Ling Lan all these years . If he could scheme against him once, it would be a sweet revenge for him . This idea was amazing!
“Of course . Ace operators have the right to leave their team and form their own battle team…” The person continued . He remembered that when a soldier became an ace operator, they would be given this option . However, he didn't know if people who were already ace operators before entering a battle team would be given this option as well . But, his leader definitely would not notice this loophole as he was not a meticulous person .
As expected, Li Yingjie nodded . He liked this idea very much .
His men saw hope and quickly came together and continued to persuade him . Li Yingjie got swayed and decided to join the Lingtian Battle Team to solve his current situation first .
When Li s.h.i.+yu looked over, he saw his cousin, Li Yingjie, waving at him . They were never on good terms with each other so he was surprised by Li Yingjie's actions . What is happening? Li s.h.i.+yu walked over curiously and asked in a low voice, “What?”
“Erm…” Li Yingjie didn't know how to talk to his cousin .
“You don't want to say? Forget it then . ” Li s.h.i.+yu glanced at him and prepared to walk away . Because of his eldest cousin brother, his relations.h.i.+p with this little cousin was not good . It was already rare that he came over to take a look at him . He was not going to beg him to tell him anything if he wasn't saying anything .
Before he could walk further, he felt something pulling on his white robe .
Li s.h.i.+yu glanced coldly at the hand on his robe . “Let go!”
“No!” Li Yingjie looked up at him stubbornly .
Li s.h.i.+yu tried to pull his clothes away but Li Yingjie grabbed them tightly . He felt that if he forced Li Yingjie to let go, his white robe might get torn in the process . A new robe would cost him money…
Li s.h.i.+yu was influenced by Lin Zhong-qing and learned how to save money because of him . He controlled his anger and forced the words out of his mouth . “I will give you one more chance . What do you want to say?”
Li Yingjie knew that this was his last opportunity . He quickly said, “Can you help me to tell Boss Lan that I want to join the Lingtian Battle Team?”
Li Yingjie dug his ears . “What did you say?” Did he hear wrong? The arrogant and proud Li Yingjie wanted to join his boss voluntarily? Did the sun rise from the West today?
Li s.h.i.+yu's expression angered Li Yingjie . “I said that I want to join the Lingtian Battle Team . Can you help me ask boss about this? Can you hear me now?”
Li Yingjie's men covered their faces with their palms simultaneously . This was not their leader . Yes, he was not their leader . From now on, their leader would be Ling Lan . Li Yingjie's men felt that they had made a wise decision .
Li Yingjie saw that everyone in the atrium was staring at him and immediately blushed . He looked at Li s.h.i.+yu and seemed to be complaining to him with his eyes: Brother, how can you tease me like this!
For the first time, Li s.h.i.+yu actually felt that Li Yingjie was cute . He couldn't help but rub Li Yingjie's head . “I know . I will ask the boss for you . ”
“Don't rub my head you b.a.s.t.a.r.d . ” Li Yingjie quickly slapped Li s.h.i.+yu's hand away . Why are you rubbing my head? Am I a child?!
“Okay, I will not rub it . You haven't registered yet, right? Hurry up and register first . If you don't register now, you will miss your chance to enter the boss's team after he forms it . ” This was the first time Li s.h.i.+yu treated Li Yingjie as a little brother . He happily coaxed this new little brother of his .
Li Yingjie felt that his brother was right . He decided to forgive his brother . He obediently went to the staff member and registered his information .
Li Lanfeng looked at Li s.h.i.+yu and Li Yingjie's interaction and his eyes dimmed . He seemed to be in deep thought .
The two brother's interaction also caused someone to explode . That person was Shen Rufei .
By now, he knew that Li Yingjie didn't have any battle team . Yet, he still dared to reject him and even blatantly looked for battle teams to join right in front of him . This was utter humiliation . He was being stepped on by this recruit .
Shen Rufei forgot that he never asked Li Yingjie anything at all . All he did was keep quiet when Qi Long rejected him . Shen Rufei didn't have the intention to let Qi Long and his friends off at the start but now, he was furious .
He looked up and laughed . He said with contempt, “Hahaha… Your boss must be the new recruit who defeated Lian Shaojing, right? A recruit forming a battle team? What kind of daydream is this? You all will never succeed . In the end, you all will still come into my Mecha Clan . I will let you all know what is the consequences for humiliating a senior officer!” By the time he finished speaking, murderous intent in his eyes were apparent .
Shen Rufei was not a stupid person . He inferred some truth from the conversation between the Li brothers . He also guessed their captain from the conversation . No wonder Qi Long said that their team might appear later . However, would the recruit succeed in forming his battle team?
Everyone sighed . No recruit ever formed a team before . Even General Ling Xiao did it in his second year in the military…
“What consequences are you talking about?” A cold voice sounded beside Shen Rufei .
Shen Rufei got a shock . He raised his head and saw a person with a cold aura standing beside him .
“Who are you?” Shen Rufei exclaimed in surprise .
“Me?” The person looked at him indifferently . “I am just a daydreamer . ”
“Ling Lan!” Shen Rufei's face changed . The person who defeated Lian Shaojing had appeared!
“Boss!” When Ling Lan appeared, Qi Long and his friends were elated .
Li Lanfeng stared at Ling Lan intently . The three years apart made him realize how much he misses him .
Ling Lan noticed Li Lanfeng's intense gaze and nodded at him .
Li Lanfeng understood what Ling Lan meant . He was surprised, elated, proud, and amazed . His rabbit was indeed the most powerful person he knew . He never disappointed him .
