Chapter 1279: Bitch!
Everyone turned to look at Qi Long who was stunned by Yang Mingzhi’s words. After thinking about it, they realised that Qi Long was the most suitable person to temporarily take over Ling Lan’s position. Most importantly, they believed in Qi Long’s character, trusting him that he would not exploit Boss’s rightful position.
They believed in Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong too but after all, they came into Lingtian at a much later time, while Qi Long had been with Ling Lan since he was a scout. He was publicly known as the number one underling of Boss. So, after taking everything into account, he was more suitable for the position than Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong.
Everyone nodded in approval. Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that their proposal had gained everyone’s approval. They were afraid that once Ling Lan was gone, there was no one to lead the team, leading to a state of disunity. This would give their enemy a window to destroy them internally. However, from the looks of it, they had been worried about nothing. Ling Lan had been instilling authoritative culture into her comrade unconsciously. When he was not around, they would still listen to their superior, for instance, Qi Long.
If Qi Long wasn’t around, there would be another superior they could listen to. The structure was detailed and clear cut. The team wouldn’t be in disunity because of the disappearance of one person. Yang Mingzhi couldn’t help but admire his young commander. What kind of devil was he? How was he able to take into account so many details and make plans for so many scenarios in advance? If his commander didn’t have so many enemies scheming against him, he wouldn’t have been forced into this dire situation.
Yang Mingzhi believed that when his commander passed this crisis safely, he would be able to govern over the whole galaxy. Yang Mingzhi started feeling pity for those people who schemed against General Ling Xiao as they would soon regret their actions in the future.
“It will be difficult to push Leader Qi into the position too. We will need everyone’s help. We must use all the power we have, including those of people behind you.” Yang Mingzhi’s gaze turned sharp as he scanned the crowd.
Luo Chao bit her lips. She was the first to open her mouth. “I will convince my father to support Qi Long secretly.” Her father would help, even if it was just for her elder brother.
Han Jijyun followed closely. “If the Qi family moves, the Han family will support wholeheartedly.” His family had always moved together with the Qi family. Thus, he needed to be certain of the Qi family’s intention first before showing his support.
Everyone looked at Qi Long again. Qi Long wiped his face and said resolutely, “If my father can help me, I’m willing to kneel down and apologise to my father for Boss’s sake.” Qi Long’s relationship with his father was not very good. If he wanted his father to ignore the Third Marshal and help him, he needed to make some sacrifices. This was hard for the prideful Qi Long, but for his boss, he was willing to throw his pride away.
“I don’t know what the Li family’s attitude is. You know that I don’t have much sway in the Li family.” Li Yingjie frowned. “However, I will work hard and convince my parents to help.” He was a little afraid of his grandfather. For some reason, he felt that his grandfather didn’t like him, even though he was the most likely successor of the Li family.
“The Li family will definitely help.” Closely after Li Yingjie talked, a refreshing voice sounded. Li Shiyu just rushed over from the medical department.
“I’ll handle the Li family,” Li Shiyu said with absolute certainty. His eldest cousin brother, Li Mulan, was missing too. His grandfather would definitely do something.
Li Shiyu gave up the right to fight for the position of the family head but he still was well aware of the internal workings of the Li family. He knew how important his eldest cousin brother was to his grandfather. He didn’t know what the reason was or what agreement the two of them made but as long as things weren’t irreversible, the Li family wouldn’t give up on Li Mulan. Hence, if his eldest cousin brother didn’t leave Ling Lan, the Li family would continue supporting Ling Lan.
The Li family liked to play things safe but they wouldn’t reject doing something harmless and could bring them many benefits when it succeeded.
Li Shiyu turned to look at his stupid little brother. When Ling Lan decided to accept Li Yingjie into her team and groom him, the fate of the Li family became bound to the Lingtian Independent Army. Li Yingjie slowly grew stronger in the Lingtian Independent Army and had successfully climbed to a high position in the military, so his future was now directly tied to the Lingtian Independent Army. The Li family couldn’t forsake the Lingtian Independent Army now. This might be heaven’s way of helping Ling Lan. He didn’t aim to gain anything from accepting Li Yingjie but in the end, it helped him.
“I don’t have a powerful background but I do have some say in the Pu Jun. I’ll seek help from them,” Zhao Jun said. Don’t underestimate the power of normal soldiers. They represented the mass public. Once they reached a consensus, their influence was terrifying.
“I’ll talk to the Elites,” Han Jijyun continued. That year, they agreed to let one of them enter the Pu Jun and the other into the Elites, not because they wanted to dip their hands into everything. They just wanted to understand the intentions of grass-roots units as well as the thoughts of the middle-rank officers. If they could deeply understand every level of the power chain, they would be able to make better plans and policies in the future.
Of course, this was suggested by Ling Lan. Boss was afraid that they would become someone cold-blooded who would use their men like chess pieces or someone who would come up with vicious schemes that would cause unnecessary death. Constant interaction was needed to understand what the soldiers wanted, were afraid of, and their desires. Thus, when they come up with battle plans, they would take these into consideration, decreasing the number of deaths so more soldiers would be able to go back home.
They listened to Boss’s orders diligently. After gaining a deeper understanding of these communities, they finally gained their approval. Moreover, they had a good reputation in their organisations. That was why they were able to call for help at this time.
“Since everyone knows what to do, let’s get moving. I believe the military is already eyeing the Lingtian Independent Army.” Yang Mingzhi looked up at the virtual sky above their base. It was bright and sunny but he felt gloomy. This was a hard war. They didn’t have General Ling Xiao backing them now. Now, there was no one who would be able to handle the influence of the three great marshals.
Actually, it wasn’t just the Lingtian Independent Army. A lot of people were eyeing to take over the 23rd division too.
“Senior Colonel Lan, Senior Colonel Lan, calm down. The marshal is currently busy now. He doesn’t have the time to see you.” A senior colonel was blocking a beautiful female senior colonel from entering the room behind him. He had cold sweat on his forehead as he persuaded the other party to not barge into the room.
The beautiful female senior colonel was Ling Xiao’s wife, Ling Lan’s mother, Lan Luofeng.
“Move aside!” Lan Luofeng glared at him angrily.
“Senior Colonel Lan, this is the first marshal’s manor.” The senior colonel stood his ground. If this lady wasn’t Ling Xiao’s wife, he wouldn’t have been so polite. He would have called the security and chased her out.
“If you dare to stop me, I’ll shout molest. Let’s see if the people here help you or help me.” Lan Luofeng didn’t care about her image anymore. Her husband’s body couldn’t be found and her daughter had disappeared secretly. Why the f**k would she care about her image now? If the door guard really provoked her, she didn’t mind acting like a bitch.
