Chapter 925 Impeachment!

“The military ordered us to send Lieutenant Colonel Ling Lan to the hospital for treatment. I’m sorry, we can’t accept General Ling Xiao’s order.” The driver rejected them directly.

“Lieutenant Colonel Ling came from the 23rd division. He should be taken care of by us.” Ling Yu sent a glance at his subordinate. His subordinate immediately took out his gun and aimed it at the driver’s forehead. He said coldly, “I’m sorry.”

“This is against the rule,” the driver shouted angrily. He attempted to alert the medics in the ambulance.

The subordinate immediately knocked the driver unconscious. Ling Yu also subdued the soldier sitting on the pa.s.senger’s seat.

General Ling Xiao said clearly that they must send their young master back to him safely even if they had to use force.

The two people in charge of carrying the stretcher heard the commotion outside, and their expressions changed immediately. Their hands reached behind their backs but Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang, who were well prepared, subdued them instantly.

Li Lanfeng took out a beam handgun from the person’s waist. He threw it at Luo Lang and said, “How dare you take out a gun in front of our regiment commander. Are you looking for death?”

Luo Lang took out a beam gun from the person in front of him too. He placed the two guns on his waist and knocked the two medics unconscious.

Li Lanfeng looked at Luo Lang. He carried Ling Lan up while Luo Lang kicked the door of the ambulance open. Then, they quickly got into the hover car Ling Yu was driving and left the scene.

The other soldiers that came after this only saw an empty ambulance and a bunch of unconscious medics.

“d.a.m.n it. We were fooled.” The leader of the group stomped his feet angrily. Just now, a senior colonel from the 7th division stopped him and asked him about the condition of the injured soldiers from the 7th division. He didn’t want to offend the person so he patiently answered his queries. After that, he quickly asked his men to follow the ambulance but they were still too late.

At this moment, the senior colonel from the 7th division came up behind them and shouted in surprise, “Senior Colonel Le, what happened here?”

Major Le looked at the senior colonel. The surprise on his face seemed real. Major Le started wondering if this was just a coincidence.

“Senior Colonel You, I still have some things to deal with. I’ll take my leave first.” Major Le couldn’t confirm his suspicion so he wanted to dismiss the person.

Senior Colonel You heard this and knew that he couldn’t interfere in this matter. He said hurriedly, “Please do, please do.”

Major Le came to a quiet spot and quickly contacted his superior to tell him about the situation.

“Forget it. This matter will end here. If someone asks you anything, just say that you don’t know anything.” This was the reply his superior gave him.

“Yes, I understand,” Major Le replied. The battle of power between the higher authorities was not something a small figure like him could partic.i.p.ate in.

Major Le’s superior reported the situation to his senior officer too. He got the same reply.

The moment they entered Ling Yu’s hover car, she opened her eyes. “Ling Yu, what’s the situation at home?” Little Four told her some things that were happening in the Federation but he didn’t know much about the power struggle. Hence, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Ling Lan had to gain more information from the trustworthy Ling Yu before she could make a decision.

“On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a problem. However, the military recently impeached General Ling Xiao for moving the treasure of the country out of the nation. The general is having a hard time.” Ling Yu truthfully told Ling Lan General Ling Xiao’s current situation.

Ling Xiao came back when Ling Lan was 16 years old but the family head of the Ling family was still Ling Lan. Hence, as a loyalist of the Ling family, he would report the condition of the past family head, Ling Xiao, to Ling Lan without any hesitation. He didn’t hide anything from Ling Lan although Ling Xiao asked him to.

“They really did something to General Ling Xiao.” Li Lanfeng knew that Ling Lan’s operation of a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha would spark the greed in the higher authorities. He used to think that these people would hold back a little because of General Ling Xiao’s name but now, he felt that he was too optimistic. No one was able to resist such a great temptation.

Ling Lan frowned. This matter could be big or small. If the people from the military didn’t want to deal with Ling Xiao, they could just ignore this issue. If someone wanted to tackle Ling Xiao, this would be something they could make use of. It’ll be hard for her father to clear his name.

“What’s the att.i.tude of the First Marshal?” Ling Lan knew that on the surface, her father belonged to the faction of the First Marshal. If the First Marshal wanted to protect Ling Xiao, he would be saved. If not, Ling Xiao’s future would be hard to tell.

“Ambiguous.” Ling Yu recalled how frequent General Ling Xiao got asked for questioning and guessed that the First Marshal probably wanted to sit on the fence.

“I understand.” Ling Lan closed her eyes again. Ling Yu was just a loyalist. He couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in the battle for power personally. He didn’t understand some things that were happening too. If she wanted to understand the situation clearly, she needed to ask her father.

Ling Lan asked Ling Yu because she didn’t want to be fooled by her father. Ling Xiao was a good person. His only flaw was that he liked handle everything himself.

“Rabbit, what do you plan to do?” Li Lanfeng quickly used his spiritual power to contact Ling Lan. “I will make a decision after speaking with my father. In terms of understanding the bigger picture, my father is better than me.” Ling Lan understood herself well. Her father understood the bigger picture better than her. She didn’t want to create more trouble because of her poor decisions.

Li Lanfeng nodded. His heart skipped a beat. ‘Rabbit knew what his weakness was so he wouldn’t make a decision blindly. However, he seemed to believe in his judgment of himself too much. If I am Rabbit, I would have made a plan already, I wouldn’t even think about asking for General Ling Xiao’s opinion.’

‘Thinking about it, in 250 Ace Mecha Clan, I made some decisions like this too. Did I create trouble for Rabbit unknowingly because of this?’ Li Lanfeng felt cold sweat on his back. He reminded himself that he mustn’t make similar mistakes again.

Ling Lan didn’t know that her words unintentionally caused Li Lanfeng to reflect on himself. This caused Li Lanfeng to change his style in the future and got better at communicating with people. It helped him to prevent possible problems that might arise in the future.
