Chapter 731: First Meeting!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Right after Ling Lan returned to her own room, her already freezing cold expression became even colder. Although she knew her father wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her, she still felt uneasy by the fact that things were out of her control. She felt somewhat defeated.

As expected, she couldn’t be like her father Ling Xiao, a person able to control everything within a grasp of his hand. She circled around the small living room, seemingly in deep thought for quite a while. She then decided to still find her father to ask what was going on.

“Little Four, help me contact…” Right as Ling Lan was about to ask Little Four to contact Ling Xiao, she suddenly had a thought that maybe Ling Xiao couldn’t contact her since he would have contacted her by now.

It was clear that the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was sent by the military, He Xuyang’s off-putting behavior also proved it was not known to the 23rd division. They came to do a private investigation, catching all of them off guard.

In the military, the disputes between the different factions were ongoing. Ling Lan thought about the havoc she had caused in Soldier City. Shouldn’t the military be in chaos because of that event? Maybe that could be why all the different factions are sending out their people in the shadows. Maybe the request to investigate her was just a smokescreen, and their actual target was actually Ling Xiao?

Ling Lan had a lot of thoughts swirling in her mind, which made her really anxious. She knew if her father had received any information about the current situation, he would have already made a move. Did her father’s enemies discover something off about her father’s movements, so they decided to test out the waters with her?

Conveniently, 250 Ace Mecha Clan appeared during this time, from being a useless mecha clan to a top 10 mecha clan in their first land clearing mission. It was indeed easy for people to formulate intricate conspiracy theories about her father situation . It seemed she needed to be more careful and shouldn’t let anyone know of her and her father’s relationship. Otherwise, even if she eventually took the position of regiment commander through sheer merits and achievements, it would still cause heavy damage to her father’s reputation, giving his opposition a chance to attack her father. Perhaps, her father not contacting her directly was also because of this issue.

Ling Lan had a few conclusions after minutes of circling around the living room. Currently, her relationship between her father must continue to be only a normal working relationship between a general and an ace mecha clan’s regiment commander. She should only be a normal officer working under her father. This might lessen his worries so he could make moves whenever he wanted to.

Although Ling Lan knew that the top brass of the military definitely knew the truth, but they probably had some sort of agreement, and wouldn’t actively announce the relationship between her and Ling Xiao. Their confidants might also know something, but would definitely not dare to let any of that information leak out.

It meant that on her side, she would just need to be careful to not let the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee find out her relationship with her father.

A bone-chilling breeze suddenly blew across the small living room. She predicted the reason why the higher-ups of the military had sent the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to investigate the 23rd division privately, was to find out about her relationship with her relationship with Ling Xiao and then to publicly announce it? Of course, it didn’t eliminate the possibility that they wanted to give her father a bad name. It seemed her father’s public image had made the higher-ups envious of him.
