Chapter 925: Purpose!

Chapter 927 Purpose!

“It’s nothing really…” Ling Xiao wasn’t used to telling his daughter about the problems he was facing. However, under Ling Lan’s cold and unrelenting stare, Ling Xiao could only bitterly tell her the truth, “Currently, the law enforcement unit is indeed pressuring me a lot about how I passed on my god-class mecha to you. However, I can still endure it.”

‘My own daughter is severely injured and she still wants to wait to talk to me in person. Doesn’t this mean that she is worried about me?’ Ling Xiao’s heart felt warm. He also gave up the pride of being a father and finally told Ling Lan everything.

Hearing this, Ling Lan seemingly began to think deeply. In reality, she was in her mindscape looking through all the rules and regulations Little Four had found regarding god-class mechas to try to find a loophole.

Li Lanfeng also began to think deeply about the situation. If he wanted Ling Lan to be safe, then General Ling Xiao must also be safe as well.

Ling Xiao was also thinking of how to perfectly resolve this issue. He didn’t want to continue to waste his efforts and time on such trivial things, as he had more important things to do.

The room instantly became silent. Only Luo Lang was looking at the other three people in the room with a confused expression, but didn’t dare to make a sound and disturb them.

The Federation had indeed written rules about how a god-class mecha must only be used by its owner. The operator and mecha were forbidden to be separated unless there was an external factor stopping them. This also clearly proved that god-class mechas were the strongest weapons of the nation and was forbidden to be used for self-interest. Ling Xiao had broken both of these rules, so his impeachment was expected.

However, this didn’t mean that Ling Xiao would actually be impeached. If the First Marshal wanted to protect Ling Xiao, he still had his methods around it.

Ling Lan frowned as he looked at the rule that can only be invoked by the three marshals.

Desperate times called for desperate measures! If the First Marshal was willing to invoke this rule, then Ling Xiao would not have problems facing the law enforcement unit anymore.

“Dad, where does the First Marshal stand currently?” Ling Lan suddenly broke the silence and asked.

“He is not taking any sides.” Ling Xiao was still frowning. The entire military had chosen to not speak about his issue. The Second Marshal’s faction also chose to stay silent. After all, the Second Marshal owed him a favor. Ling Xiao originally thought the Third Marshal’s faction would take this chance and make a move, but instead they were also silent. This was something he didn’t expect would happen.

With the other two marshals being silent and the First Marshal’s personality of planning first and executing later, they wouldn’t reach a consensus that easily.

“Could they possibly have given up?” Ling Lan asked hesitantly. However, Ling Xiao understood what Ling Lan wanted to ask.

“Currently, that’s not possible.” Ling Xiao thought for a moment and gave this answer. Ling Xiao can still feel the care and protection form the First Marshal. Even if this care was slowly disappearing as he grew stronger, it still had not reached a point where the First Marshal would give up on him.

Ling Xiao was someone who knew to appreciate what others did for him. He cherished how the First Marshal cared for him in the past. This was why when he returned, he publicly stood under the First Marshal’s faction.

Although he knew that this relationship with the First Marshal had some changes and couldn’t return to when they completely trusted each other during their younger years, he still chose to continue to follow the First Marshal. He would follow the First Marshal until the he didn’t need him anymore.

“But, they won’t help either, right?” Ling Lan hit the nail on the coffin. Otherwise, as a general, Ling Xiao wouldn’t become so disheveled from dealing with the law enforcement unit.

“Perhaps everyone’s waiting to see who is willing to help me.” Ling Xiao thoughts were even more intricate than Ling Lan.

“Understood” Ling Lan now understood why Ling Xiao was so passive recently. The reason the marshals didn’t make any moves was to see just how much power Ling Xiao had control of. However, Ling Xiao would rather let himself become disheveled than exposing those working for him.

“However, if the situation continues like this, it wouldn’t be beneficial for you father.” The three marshals could endure it, but Ling Xiao couldn’t. Once it entered the legal system, Ling Xiao must stop everything that he was doing. If the duration of this debacle was to reach three months, his job position would no longer be guaranteed. The 23rd Division that he worked so hard on would then be handed over to someone else.

“I understand. That’s why I’m currently looking for a way to resolve this situation without getting into bigger problems.” Ling Lan knew of this point and Ling Xiao knew of it even more. If it were to reach that point, then he would have to expose a portion of those working under him.

Li Lanfeng, who had been listening to Ling Lan and Ling Xiao’s conversation, suddenly interjected, “Actually, it’s not like General Ling Xiao doesn’t have any chances to resolve this situation.”

“How?” Ling Lan asked. Li Lanfeng always had many strategies in mind. Perhaps he managed to think of something that the two of them hadn’t thought of.

“General Ling Xiao has a huge advantage that can be exploited,” replied Li Lanfeng.

“Oh? I have an advantage?” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows in astonishment. His confidants had determined that he was at a disadvantage in every aspect. He didn’t think that a young Li Lanfeng would be able to say that he had an advantage somewhere. This made Ling Xiao became very curious of what Li Lanfeng would say..

“Yeah. General, did you forget? You are the Federation’s idol.” Li Lanfeng told Ling Xiao about what common soldier and citizens thought about him.

Ling Lan’s eyes glimmered. “Apply for a public hearing.”

“Public hearing? That is a big issue, let me think about it carefully.” Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng’s words provided Ling Xiao a new train of thought. He began to think about the benefits and disadvantages, and whether it was possible to conduct a public hearing.

“General, you definitely broke the rules. However, in the face of family values and outcomes of the battle, that would mean nothing,” Li Lanfeng said proudly.

Ling Lan’s eyes shined bright, while Ling Xiao frowned again when they heard that.

If he didn’t apply for a public hearing, Ling Xiao would only be able to have an internal hearing. If the law enforcement unit insisted that he committed a crime, nothing he says would matter. However, a public hearing would make the law enforcement unit unable to control the situation that easily. As the idol of the citizens, Ling Xiao would receive a great number of supporters. If they also used these two points to fight against the convictions, it would be impossible for them to lose.

This way, Ling Xiao also didn’t need to expose those who worked for him. Just himself would be enough.

In actuality, Ling Xiao didn’t like to have his own private matters known to the public. This was why he didn’t think of applying for a public hearing in the first place.

“However, if we do this, then you’ll really be the person everyone will be talking about, Lan’er.” Once the news that Ling Lan was his son becomes public knowledge, the chance of Ling Lan returning to being a female would be even lower. This plan didn’t align with Ling Xiao’s plans for Ling Lan and was also another reason why he was hesitant to publicly announce it.

“It may become more dangerous for our regiment commander, but it would also be an opportunity.” As long as Ling Xiao was fine, no would dare to lay their hands on 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

In the end, Li Lanfeng still didn’t give up on the hope that Ling Lan could remain in the military. Li Lanfeng wanted to use the power of the people to make everyone know of Ling Lan’s sacrifices and identity. This would make the higher-ups in the military not dare to make any moves on Ling Lan. Once that happens, even if Ling Lan wouldn’t be able to pilot a mecha because of his injuries, he would still be 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s one and only regiment commander.

Everything that Li Lanfeng was doing now was for this reason.
