Chapter 1131 Scheme!

“Li Lanfeng, who was that just now?” Ling Lan asked Li Lanfeng privately.

“Sorry, it was Ling Yi.” The anger in his voice was obvious. As the person who understood Ling Lan the most, he knew what Ling Lan wanted to do. Yet, his man put Ling Lan in a difficult position. He almost messed up the entire plan.

“No worries, but you need to guide Ling Yi more. Don’t allow him to make any more mistakes.” Ling Lan frowned as she gave Ling Yi his punishment.

“I understand. I’ll do it well.” Li Lanfeng gave a cold smile. Ling Yi… as expected, he was an unstable factor.

“Boss, Ling Yi almost messed up our plan.” Little Four was unhappy. That report through the public channel placed Ling Lan in a difficult position.

“We can’t say he’s wrong. He’s just too simple-minded. People that came from military academy are all like him. That’s why new soldiers have a lower survival rate than veteran soldiers. They need to gain more experience before they realise that mercy is not suitable on the battlefield.”

Ling Lan didn’t mind Ling Yi’s sudden outburst too much. She was just surprised at how upright Ling Yi was. If he had a smooth path ahead of him, this trait was not a bad thing. However, once his belief system collapsed, he might go on the extreme path, and this was bad news for her.

Her relations.h.i.+p with Ling Yi was complicated. Ling Lan didn’t forget that she was the one who killed his father.

“Ling Yi…” Ling Lan sighed. She didn’t hope that this seed, which she planted a long time ago, would become useful. Sometimes, she wished that the person behind everything would give up this seed when Ling Hua died.

Ling Yi felt uncomfortable about the current situation. They annihilated Knight Ace Mecha Clan because there was no other choice during the battle. However, this time, the other party had clearly already surrendered. Yet, Li Lanfeng gave an order for the annihilation of their enemies even before Ling Lan made a decision. This was offensive and disrespectful to Ling Lan.

“Ling Yi, are you alright?” Yan Wuyou noticed that Ling Yi’s mecha wasn’t moving so he flew over to check on him.

“There’s something wrong with Leader Li,” Ling Yi said with a cold expression.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Wuyou felt gooseb.u.mps forming around his arms. He could feel that Ling Yi was walking on a dangerous path.

“He dared to give a command before our regiment commander said anything.” Ling Yi smiled coldly. “The Li family is really greedy.”

“What do you mean?” Yan Wuyou’s eyebrows furrowed. They respected Ling Lan very much, so they didn’t hope that their idol would be betrayed by his good friend.

“When I was a.s.signed to Team 06, a lot of people told me that I was unlucky. However, I found out that Leader Li specially requested for me.” Ling Yi sneered. “He knows that I’m Regiment Commander Ling’s man so he’s afraid that he won’t be able to control me if I go somewhere else. Thus, he placed me in his team. How funny is that? Does he really think that he could hide the fact that he is probing me? Does he think that I didn’t notice it at all? He is underestimating me. He is underestimating the Ling family.”

“Maybe this is Regiment Commander Ling’s arrangement?” Yan Wuyou racked his brain to think of a way to get Ling Yi out the dangerous path he was walking on. He felt that they shouldn’t think too much about what the higher authorities did.

“If it was Regiment Commander Ling’s arrangement, it’s more likely that I’ll go to Leader Qi’s team or Leader Luo’s team. After all, they are the two people Ling Lan trusted the most. It’s definitely not Li Lanfeng. He came in much later than everyone else.” Ling Yi’s instinct was telling him that Li Lanfeng was not a good man.

“We know that Li s.h.i.+yu and Li Yingjie are the direct inheritors of the Li family, and Li Lanfeng is part of it too. They used so much effort in grooming him so I guess that they want him to support the two inheritors. During the battle on Planet Haijiao, Li Lanfeng obtained the right to command the army. As long as Ling Lan isn’t around, He and Major General Yang will take over the command chain of Lingtian.”

“The Li family has always wanted actual power within the military, and Lingtian is a good gateway for them to obtain power.” Ling Yi slammed the control panel in front of him furiously when he thought of this. “Unfortunately, Ling Lan is too busy with his work that he didn’t realize it.”

“Ling Lan is so powerful. He’ll be alright.” Yan Wuyou got worried too after listening to what Ling Yi said. However, he felt that Ling Lan was invincible and that nothing bad would happen to him.

“Ling Lan is powerful but what if he got betrayed by the person he trusted?” Ling Yi felt that Li Lanfeng was too dangerous. He showed his gentle and careful demeanour to fool everyone but deep inside, he was ruthless and vicious.

For example, everyone was under the impression that Li Lanfeng was reluctant to punish them when they made mistakes during day training. They thought that he was punis.h.i.+ng them for their sake so that they could improve. However, Ling Yi could see the indifferent look in his eyes when he was executing the punishment.

Especially when he was punis.h.i.+ng Little Leader Li, he even saw a strong hatred from his gaze.

He couldn’t be wrong about his impression of Li Lanfeng as he had an innate talent that could look past all illusions and see the real truth.

Of course, his innate talent didn’t work all the time. He couldn’t read the real thoughts of people stronger than him. Li Lanfeng was more powerful than him so by right, he couldn’t see through him. However, they met every day so there were occasions when Li Lanfeng let down his guard. This was when Ling Yi managed to catch hints of his real thought.

“Do you think that Big Leader Li will betray our regiment commander?” Yan Wuyou knew about Ling Yi’s innate talent.

“I’m not certain yet.” Ling Yi was a person who looked at evidence before making any claims. He knew how dangerous Li Lanfeng was but he didn’t know if he would really betray Ling Lan. “But, I feel the greatest sense of danger from him. Especially now when his actions revealed some of his thoughts. We need to guard against him.”

Since Ling Lan didn’t notice this, he would watch over Li Lanfeng for him. This was the only thing he could do for Ling Lan.

“Okay. We’ll listen to you. I’ll tell Tiange and Little Qing later and ask them to be aware of Big Leader Li.” Yan Wuyou felt that it was better to be careful.

“No need for that. Big Leader Li is a sly person. If there’s anything amiss with them, he’ll sense it. Tiange and Little Qing are not good at disguising themselves. They will be found out easily. It’s better if they don’t know anything. That way, they won’t spoil the plan,” Ling Yi hurriedly replied.

“You’re right.” Yan Wuyou nodded in agreement. Compared to the other four people, He and Ling Yi were much better at hiding their true thoughts. This was probably why Ling Yi told him everything.

“I want to see what Li Lanfeng is planning. What does the Li family want to do?” Ling Yi clenched his fist. He must not let them succeed.

When Ling Yi was 12 years old, he met a powerful hacker in the virtual world. Their encounter was quite interesting. Either way, he managed to gain a good friend that helped him since he was young. He also managed to get a lot of information he shouldn’t be able to get from his friend, and this allowed him to find out what Li Lanfeng and the Li family were trying to do.
