Chapter 567: Fulfil The WIsh!

A virtual screen appeared and a video started to play on the screen. It showed the scene where Han Xuya and her friends were bullied. After a while, Luo Lang appeared and then Ling Lan came and helped them.

Lan Luofeng slammed the table in anger. “How dare he bullied my daughter. Ling Xiao, you must teach him a lesson.”

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes. His face was expressionless but his eyes were cold. Ling Lan was his own flesh and blood. Lian Shaojing’s sneak attack angered him. However, he would forgive him this time only if Lian Shaojing never trouble find Ling Lan again.

This kind of conflicts were normal. Soldiers that just came back from the battlefield were emotionally unstable. The trauma from killing people was hard to manage. Sometimes, a slight stimulus would cause them to lose control of their emotions. As long as no one died, the headquarters would close one eye and let the soldiers solved their own issues.

Such conflicts allowed the soldiers to vent out their negative emotions so it was very useful towards alleviating the trauma they got on the battlefield. Also, it could motivate the soldiers and improved their combat skills. They would always be on their guard so there was no preparation time needed before they went on the battlefield. This was the attitude of all the 23 divisions in the Federation as well as the special forces.

This conclusion was obtained after years of experience. Every commander and commanding officer of the divisions allowed these conflicts to happen and never stopped them.

Thus, Ling Xiao could not take revenge on Lian Shaojing just because of this. However, he could only give Lian Shaojing another chance. If he continued to provoke Ling Lan, Ling Xiao would act. He was the commander of the 23rd division but, he was also Ling Lan’s father.

“Luofeng, let’s listen to what our daughter has to say.” Ling Xiao’s words calmed Lan Luofeng down.

“Yes. Let’s listen to what my baby has to say.” Lan Luofeng looked at Ling Xiao with glittering eyes. She wanted Ling Xiao to contact their daughter as soon as possible.

Ling Xiao smiled. He called Ling Lan.

“Your father is calling you,” Little Four said excitedly. He knew that once they sent the video over, Ling Lan’s father would call them. He would be able to listen to Ling Xiao’s voice again. His voice was pleasant to the ear.

Ling Lan rolled her eyes when she saw Little Four’s expression. She reminded him, “Remember to accept the call in my mindscape.”

Little Four smiled and nodded. No matter how much he liked Ling Xiao, he would not forget this. His boss’s relationship with Ling Xiao could not be exposed.

Very soon, the image that was supposed to appear on the virtual screen appeared in the learning space. Little Four got this ability to control the communicator from the learning space after he evolved.

The people in the real world would only see Ling Lan lying on her chair and resting with her eyes closed. But, in actual fact, she was having a video call with Ling Xiao in the learning space.

“Father.” Ling Lan called him respectfully when she saw Ling Xiao’s figure appeared on the screen in front of her.

“Hmm?” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows. He was displeased.

Ling Lan was speechless. Don’t they all mean the same thing? Why doesn’t Ling Xiao like to be called ‘father’? She decided to make Ling Xiao happy. “Daddy.”

Ling Xiao smiled. Before he could say anything else, a beautiful lady appeared beside him. “Baby Lan, do you miss mummy?”

Lan Luofeng continued without waiting for her answer. “I missed you so much. You unfilial child, when are you coming back?” Lan Luofeng spoke the last sentence fiercely.

Ling Lan looked at Ling Xiao thoughtfully. Ever since her father came back, her gentle mother became fiercer. Was this her mother’s true colors? Or was her father not able to satisfy her sexual desires recently?

Ling Xiao didn’t know that his daughter was questioning his sexual ability. He saw her looking at him and shrugged in reply. There was nothing he could do too.

Okay, Father has to worry about the 23rd Division in the morning and has to take care of Mother who might be going through menopause at night. It is understandable that he will feel helpless at times… Ling Lan felt that she uncovered the truth, and pitied her father as he was going through some tough times.

Ling Lan wanted to help her father. “Mummy, I will be home tonight.” This way, her mother would anticipate her arrival and stop pestering her father.

Ling Lan glanced at her father. She hoped that her father would grab this opportunity and had a good rest tonight. Then, he could regain his stamina and be able to satisfy her mother so that she would turn back into the gentle mother that Ling Lan knew.

Ling Xiao was puzzled by the strange look Ling Lan was giving him. Lan Luofeng hugged him in excitement. Her actions were big as she was very excited about Ling Lan’s return. Ling Xiao felt her soft and smooth body brushing against him and got stimulated…

Because of Ling Lan’s issue, Lan Luofeng chased him out of her room. He had not had any intimate interactions with her for a very long time. Her sudden enthusiasm caused him to lose self control.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and cleared the thoughts in his mind. The most important thing now was to solve his daughter’s issue. Everything else could wait. Yes, it could wait.

“Are you not going to the recruit training camp?” Ling Xiao asked.

Ling Lan replied, “Nope. I am seriously injured so I can’t go to the recruit camp.” She looked at Ling Xiao and smiled cunningly. “Seems like daddy doesn’t want me to go to the recruit camp too.”

She had asked Li Lanfeng about the situation in the recruit camp. She knew that everyone, no matter what background they were from, They would live in an eight person dorm. There was no exception. Her father would definitely try to get her out of the camp no matter what.

“Looks like you did it on purpose.” Ling Xiao smiled gently. This issue had been weighing on his mind but his daughter managed to solve it. “If you didn’t meet Lian Shaojing, did you plan to find someone else to fight with?”

Ling Lan shook her head. “This was just a coincidence. I had another plan but I never thought about provoking other people directly.”

Ling Lan was planning to feign an injury during the first match against her instructor. Then, she would arrange for Li Shiyu to take her to the hospital. He would write a fake injury form which would allow her to dismiss herself from the recruit training.

However, she met Lian Shaojing before she started her plan.

Ling Xiao looked at his daughter with satisfaction. His daughter had gotten more mature. If he didn’t know the truth from her mouth, he might be fooled by her too. He would have thought that she was seriously injured by Lian Shaojing and had to be absent from the recruit training. In order to pacify the injured recruit, commanders normally accepted such request to leave the training camp.

“Lan’er, you will definitely become an excellent soldier. I am not sure if it is right for me to ask you to leave the military.” Ling Xiao hesitated. How good it would be if Ling Lan was his son.

Of course, a daughter was good too. Ling Xiao just felt unfortunate that his daughter couldn’t show off her amazing talent in mecha operating blatantly in front of everyone.

Ling Xiao regained his composure and asked, “You didn’t send me the video just to tell me that you don’t have to go to the recruit training, right? Are you intending to ask me for help?”

Ling Lan would not send him the video if she didn’t have such an intention.

He knew his daughter well. If she took the initiative to tell him about something, it meant that she needed his help.

Ling Lan nodded. “Yes, you are right.”

“What do you want me to do?” Ling Xiao said lovingly, “Do you want the special forces to prevent Lian Shaojing from taking his revenge on you all?” This was not difficult. He just needed to find the commander of the special forces to tell him that he had taken a fancy on Ling Lan’s ability. The special forces would not dare to do anything to Ling Lan and her friends.

Ling Xiao thought about how he should talk to the commander of the special forces. However, Ling Lan’s reply stunned him. “No, Daddy. I just hope that you can prevent the special forces from targeting Qi Long and the rest of my friends in the recruit training camp. After these three months, the special forces can do whatever they like.”

Ling Xiao looked at her sternly. “The special forces is not an ordinary force. If they decide to act, your friends might be unable to withstand their attacks.”

“I know. However, hardships make a person stronger. If they don’t experience such ordeals, they will not improve. They have to go to the battlefield next time.” Ling Lan sighed softly. She didn’t know if she would be able to accompany them during that time. The only thing she could do now was to make sure that they became stronger so that they could survive on the battlefield.

“However, three months is too short. Why not I extend it to a year?” Ling Xiao understood his daughter’s intention. He thought about it carefully and proposed a solution.

“No. After three months, I will continue to lead them,” Ling Lan replied firmly.

Lan Luofeng couldn’t keep quiet anymore when she heard what Ling Lan said. She interrupted them. “Lan’er, you will be missing the recruit training camp because of your injury. This is the best time for you to disappear and resume your true identity. Are you going to give up this chance?” Since she was seriously injured, Ling Xiao could let Ling Lan leave the military and let her be transferred to a small department. Then, she would gradually withdraw herself from the public and would resume her identity as a woman. Then, she could go and do whatever she liked after that.

“I know, Mummy. I know that it is a good opportunity. If none of these happened, I would have followed that path that you all planned for me. However, things are different now. I have not settled everything here. I can’t leave,” Ling Lan replied sincerely. She looked apologetically at her parents. She knew the efforts they had put in to let her to resume her identity.

“Please give me two more years. I will leave the military after two years and resume my identity as your daughter,” Ling Lan pleaded to them. Two years was enough for her companions to grow up. She could let them go without any worry after that.

Lan Luofeng wanted to persuade her but was stopped by Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao hugged her. She understood what Ling Xiao wanted to do and let him talked to their daughter instead.

“Lan’er, you are all grown up now. We will support you in everything that you want to do.” Ling Lan smiled as he said, “Since you need two more years, your mother and I will wait two more years for you. We have waited for 5 years already. We can wait for two more years.”

Lan Luofeng nodded to express her support. However, she pinched Ling Xiao’s waist with her right hand forcefully. Who says that we can wait for two more years? One sentence from you and I have to wait another two years. You bastard! My dreams of living with my daughter got delayed by you again.

Ling Lan was elated that she got the support from her parents so she didn’t notice the subtle pain in her father’s expression.

Even if she did, she would pretend that she didn’t see anything. It was better for her to stay away from the fights between her parents. Ling Lan found an excuse and ended the call with Ling Xiao.

Ling Lan prayed that when she went back, her father would still be alive and well.

The moment Ling Lan settled the things on her side, the recruits that reached the spaceport got settled down too. Some planets were further away so their ships had not reached. The people at the spaceport needed to wait for everyone to arrive before bringing the recruits to the training camp. Hence, the recruits that arrived first were given some time to rest at the spaceport base camp.

The captain on duty appeared again. There were a few hundred ambulances behind him. He had received orders from the commanding officer of the spaceport to send the ‘injured’ recruits to the hospital.

Ling Lan smiled when she saw this scene. This action proved that the commanding officer of the spaceport was on her side. She didn’t ask Li Shiyu to arrange for an ambulance because she wanted to know the attitude of the commanding officer.

Everything happened according to Ling Lan’s plan
