Ling Yi turned to face Yan Wuyou with a dreadfully pale face. He was aware that Yan Wuyou was wealthy but he didn’t know the extent of his wealth. Even Ling Lan’s family could only be considered a seventh-rank elite family when they parted ways with the main Ling family.
A seventh-rank elite family was still an elite family but its overall situation was slightly better than an average family. The wealth of a sixth-rank elite family was something an average mind could not comprehend.
Yan Wuyou’s face turned pale after his identity was exposed. He turned to look at Ling Yi, and saw the astonishment and suspicion in his eyes. Yan Wuyou felt bitter about the lack of trust Ling Yi had for him. He gave a forced smile and said, “I’m from an elite family but my position in the eyes of the elders in my family is almost non-existent. Is there really a difference between my situation and Ling Yi’s situation? No, I’m probably worse off. At least, he still has people who are concerned about him. They will teach him physical skills and provide him with necessities. No matter how expensive the gene agent is, they will buy it for him. In the beginning, I was envious of Ling Yi. Why should a normal civilian like him be able to get things that I couldn’t?”
“Initially, I wanted to find out what his identity is, so I befriended him in order to get closer to him. Is he the illegitimate son of some elite family? Is he a young master that is hiding from his enemies?” Yan Wuyou mocked himself. “But, as time went by, I started to forget about my jealousy and accepted Ling Yi for who he is. He was just too sincere between us. He couldn’t hide his feelings. He would try and provide us with whatever we need. He never asked for repayment for the thing he had done for us too. Sometimes, I wonder how could anyone be so stupid? He didn’t even know who we truly were or what our true intentions were, but he was already willing to pour his heart out to us. This simplicity touched me. In the end, I took him as my best friend.”
“Big Leader Li, I’ve never betrayed Ling Yi. While we were talking in the room, I just lamented the fact that if I had an outstanding older brother, the Yan family’s power might have been still in my family’s control, and my life wouldn’t have been so difficult.” Yan Wuyou looked at Li Lanfeng. His eyes were filled with pain. He knew that Ling Yi would be furious when he revealed his true identity so he wanted to slowly reveal it to him. That way, he would be mentally prepared too, and the impact wouldn’t be so great. However, he didn’t expect he would have no choice but to reveal it this soon. His identity got exposed so suddenly that he didn’t know what he should do.
“Actually, if someone wants to create such coincidences, they will definitely leave traces behind. Yan Wuyou, if you want to clear your name, you must find the real betrayer.” Li Lanfeng said indifferently, “Wallowing in self-pity is not going to help you.”
“I know. It’s useless if I don’t have any evidence.” Yan Wuyou closed his eyes painfully. He carefully recalled what had happened on that day. He tried to recall the conversations between them, trying to find any traces of the betrayer.
If he had the choice, he wouldn’t want to suspect anyone of his friends. The six of them knew each other since the first year of Scout Academy. From then on, they got closer and became very good friends. After more than ten years of being together, he had already viewed them as his family members. In the past, he would feel sad at the fact that he didn’t have an older brother to rely on, but the appearance of these people made up for his lack of a brotherly figure. He had no regrets now.
He thought that he would walk to the end of his life with these people, but a betrayer appeared and ruined everything between them. This person dragged them into a deep abyss. Now, to protect himself and his innocent brothers, he must find this person. This was like asking Yan Wuyou to stab himself in his heart. It was really painful.
“I am not suspecting anyone. I’m just stating the truth. When I said that I admire my friends for having siblings, Hua Qingxin pointed at Xiaotao. He said that Xiaotao has the most siblings and he is the youngest among his siblings too. His siblings always dote on him.” Yan Wuyou didn’t want to push Hua Qingxin out but just like what Li Lanfeng said, any schemes would leave clues behind. If he wanted to find the betrayer, he mustn’t hide any details.
Hua Qingxin’s eyes widened when he heard this. He didn’t expect to be pushed out by his trusted buddy.

“More and more people are getting implicated. What is the point of this?” Gu Dongyang frowned as he whispered to Yang Mingzhi.
“I’m sure Big Leader Li already knows who the betrayer is. There’s another reason for him to put on this show.” Yang Mingzhi sighed.
“What do you mean?” Gu Dongyang was puzzled.
“He wants to remove everyone around Ling Yi. He wants Ling Yi to understand that everything he has is a joke. He wants to destroy Ling Yi.” Yang Mingzhi had already understood the intention behind Li Lanfeng’s actions.
“Ling Yi is too simple-minded but his personality is not bad. Plus, he is regiment commander’s… is this too heartless?” Gu Dongyang felt that they shouldn’t be too harsh on Ling Yi.
“That’s precisely why Big Leader Li is so ruthless. Ling Yi is a part of regiment commander’s family. If he remains so simple-minded, he will be used by regiment commander’s enemies. For instance, this current issue. His intention was good and his principles are right but it’s just not the right thing to do in the overall picture. Luckily, our regiment commander prepared beforehand so we didn’t get punished, but if he didn’t, you will probably be stuck in Planet General. You might not be able to come back. Our mecha clan won’t be able to become an independent army too.” Yang Mingzhi was a gentle person but his experience in political battles told him that people like Ling Yi posed a great danger to the survivability of a clan.
Gu Dongyang agreed with what Yang Mingzhi said. The uncomfortable feeling he had towards Li Lanfeng’s actions melted away. No matter how despicable Big Leader Li was, he did it for the sake of Lingtian. Lingtian currently must remain low-key. Before they officially became an independent army, nothing must happen within the mecha clan.
To achieve this, they needed to get rid of uncertain elements. Even if these uncertain elements were innocent, they had to do it.
“What a pity to those young men. They are not bad.” Gu Dongyang sighed.
“Sometimes, following the wrong person is a mistake too. Since it’s a mistake, they must pay the price for it,” Yang Mingzhi replied indifferently. His expression was stern. He seemed to have recalled something in his past.
Hua Qingxin looked slightly feminine. He was quite a beauty. When he got pushed out by Yan Wuyou, he got flustered for a moment which made him look very pitiful.
Unfortunately, the people at the scene weren’t affected by his looks. Well, there was someone who was affected but he already had someone else in his heart. Hua Qingxin’s face wasn’t able to seduce him.
Xie Yi looked at Luo Lang in comparison. Luo Lang’s bright and cheerful face made him much happier.
