Li Lanfeng’s control over his emotions was undoubtedly excellent — in the blink of an eye, he had regained his composure. He continued to observe indifferently from the sidelines, but mentally made a note to try and find out more about the other to aid his future plans.

Ling Lan swept her gaze contemplatively over the four youths, and her gaze finally landed on Li Shiyu. Xie Yi had mentioned very clearly that this dux was the one who had pushed this decision through, so she said to him, “Are you the one who requested to transfer my man into the Military Medical Research Centre?”

In spite of his displeasure, Li Shiyu’s good upbringing still made him nod in response, indicating that Ling Lan was right.

At that, Ling Lan raised an eyebrow and said, “I recall that, a request like that still requires the agreement of the patient being treated.” After finding out about the situation, Little Four had instantly looked up all the related regulations on transferral of treatment cases. Thus, Ling Lan was now extremely clear on all the rules and procedures associated with the process — there were plenty of loopholes for her to play with …

Li Shiyu’s expression darkened, but he still replied, “I’m the dux of the military medical research specialization. As long as any patient is within the treatment centre, I have the right to designate them as my patient without requiring the other’s approval.” That said, he did not forget to throw a fierce glare in Li Yingjie’s direction …

The moment Li Shiyu said this, the senior year students all nodded in agreement, while the 1st year freshmen stared at one another, uncertain whether the military academy really had this rule.

Li Yingjie was rather bewildered by Li Shiyu’s glare — when and how had he offended his second elder cousin brother now? Initially already irritated, he became even more disgruntled. His anger spiked, but still he held back, only expressing it by returning an equally scathing glare to indicate his displeasure.

Although every time Li Yingjie encountered Li Shiyu they were like primed firecrackers — ready to explode at the slightest provocation — over these many years, Li Yingjie actually knew that his cousin brother would never hurt him. Otherwise, having the full upper hand over him all these years, Li Shiyu would not have just mocked and taunted and snarked at him with words. From the time they were little till now, there had been plenty of chances for Li Shiyu to be ruthless and do away with him completely …

This was also why Li Yingjie had not rebutted his cousin’s words, merely glaring back — he did not want to put Li Shiyu on the spot 1 .

“Furthermore, Li Yingjie is my younger cousin. As his elder cousin, giving a hand to treat him is an obligation. I can ensure that he fully recovers in almost half the time.” Of course, this was based on the prerequisite that Li Yingjie had to endure through the intense agony of his body being modified and improved by the medical agents … Li Yingjie would probably remember the experience for the rest of his life. A subtle smile appeared on Li Shiyu’s lips.

These words of Li Shiyu moved all of the first year students; even those members who had still been wary of Li Shiyu cast away their doubts at this time. Li Yingjie himself was convinced, but just as he was about to say he was willing, an ice-cold gaze swept over to look at him, instantly freezing him in place along with those words which were already at the tip of his tongue.

How terrifying! Compared to Boss Lan’s cold gaze, his elder cousin’s glares were really all too harmless. Li Yingjie swallowed the acceptance he had been about to utter, hurriedly ducking his head and pretending that he did not know anything.
