Chapter 920 It’s Not Him!

Little White’s innocent look caused Mu Chaoran to jeer at himself. In order to get the truth, he placed his hopes on a stupid pet that knew nothing. He must be out of his mind.

Mu Chaoran reached out his hand, wanting to carry Little White. A fair and slender hand suddenly appeared and picked Little White up before him.

Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu’s expressions changed instantly. They leaped back and retreated three meters back.

The air around the fair hand started distorting and a whirlpool suddenly formed in the middle of the room. Slowly, a young soldier wearing the military uniform of the 23rd division walked out. It was Li Lanfeng

Li Lanfeng looked at Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran coldly, “I didn’t expect the two of you to infiltrate the treatment room.”

Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu felt awkward with them being exposed so blatantly. They were frustrated that they got caught in their actions. But, they regained their composure quickly. Tang Ningyu replied Li Lanfeng calmly, “Major Li, long time no see. You look as good as ever.”

“There’s no need to be polite. What are you doing in the treatment room? If you don’t give me a good answer, I’ll report to General Ling Xiao and ask him to get an explanation from the commander of the Flying Dragon Special Forces.” Li Lanfeng smiled coldly.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were agitated. They forgot that Ling Lan was the son of Ling Xiao. If General Ling Xiao misunderstood their intentions, there would be huge trouble coming their way.

“We respected Lieutenant Colonel Ling for his courage so we wanted to take a look at him,” Tang Ningyu said earnestly. He didn’t want to create trouble for his commander. This was something they should settle themselves.

“Do I look stupid?” Li Lanfeng jeered. He didn’t believe what Tang Ningyu said.

“It’s the truth.” Mu Chaoran was sincere. “However, that’s not the only reason. We want to know if Lieutenant Colonel Ling is the person we are looking for.”

“You met us on Planet Azure so you should know that we were on a mission at that time. However, in the end, we didn’t complete the mission. Another person completed it instead.” Mu Chaoran suddenly said the truth. Tang Ningyu was surprised.

Li Lanfeng petted Little White which was lying quietly on his arm.

Mu Chaoran gave a bitter smile. “Your appearance on Planet Azure was too much of a coincidence. Additionally, you picked up Little White. This caused us to suspect that Lieutenant Colonel Ling is the other person who was on the mission.”

Tang Ningyu continued, “We want to know who we lost to so we wanted to take a look at Lieutenant Colonel Ling.”

Li Lanfeng smiled. He scoffed, “What does it have to do with me?”

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were stunned. They didn’t expect Li Lanfeng to reject them directly. It was wrong of them to sneak into Ling Lan’s treatment room but they had no bad intentions. They just wanted an answer.

“However…” Li Lanfeng suddenly changed his words. “If I don’t agree, you will be unwilling to give up too. This is not a good thing for our regiment commander, as it’ll interfere with his treatment so I’ll only give you one chance. I hope that you will not interrupt our regiment commander after this. If not, I’ll not show you any mercy.”

“Thank you, Major Li.” Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were surprised and elated. They thought that they had no hope but Li Lanfeng was kind enough to let them meet Ling Lan.

Li Lanfeng took out a syringe from the disinfected shelf. Then, he took a bottle of agent and opened the healing pod. He injected the agent into the person lying in the healing pod.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s heart pounded furiously. Would the person inside be who they expected? Would they be disappointed again?

The two of them felt that they waited for a long time. However, it was just around three minutes. Finally, they heard a weak cough.

“Lanfeng, what’s the matter?” The voice of the person in the healing pod was hoa.r.s.e and low. It wasn’t the soft and gentle voice they had remembered.

‘It’s not him!’ Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s heart dropped. They felt as though a bucket of ice water was poured on them. Their entire body turned cold.

“Regiment commander, there are two people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces who wanted to meet you,” Li Lanfeng whispered to the person in the healing pod. He looked at Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu before continuing, “They are Lieutenant Colonel Tang Ningyu and Lieutenant Colonel Mu Chaoran.”

“The Flying Dragon Special Forces? Sure, help me up.” The person in the healing pod seemed surprised. However, he didn’t reject the request.

Li Lanfeng held Ling Lan up carefully. Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu saw a person wrapped entirely in bandages. Because of the action of sitting up, some of the bandages had turned red. However, the person still sat up straight. He had a cold and icy aura around him. His gaze was sharp and intense. Even when he was heavily injured, his force of presence still overpowered the three other people at the scene.

“This is a very powerful person! It cannot be their Little Brother Shaoyun.’

There were tears in Mu Chaoran’s eyes. In the end, he was still disappointed.

On the other hand, Tang Ningyu got a shock. He grabbed Mu Chaoran tightly and controlled his excitement. ‘It’s him! It’s him!’

Mu Chaoran looked at Tang Ningyu in astonishment. Tang Ningyu’s action dispersed some of his sadness.

“It’s our benefactor! He is our benefactor!” Tang Ningyu said excitedly.

Mu Chaoran finally got it. Although Ling Lan was not the person they thought he was, they were right to think that he was the person who took the mission. He was also the ice element t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior that saved them.

All of their queries were solved. Ling Lan was the person who took the mission. However, he didn’t disguise himself as a scout. He used the chance when Li Lanfeng entered the school to sneak in and investigate the base. Along the way, he saved them. That circular creature should be Ling Lan’s pet. That was why it appeared on Planet Azure as well as Planet Haijiao.

Everything was explained. Mu Shaoyu and Tang Ningyu finally got the answer they wanted but they were still sad. Their Little Brother Shaoyun was really dead. They couldn’t fool themselves anymore.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were the leaders of the two forces of the Flying Dragon Special Forces, so they were able to regain their composure quickly.

They saluted at Ling Lan. Tang Ningyu said with respect, “Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Ling for saving us on Planet Azure.”

Ling Lan was confused by their actions at the start. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, “It’s you. There is no need to thank me.”

Ling Lan didn’t hide the fact that she was their benefactor. As for Pei Shaoyun, Ling Lan planned for him to remain dead. Her fate with Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu would end here. When they meet again, they would be just strangers.
