"Leader, are we really going to ignore this matter?" When they came out, one of the newer members of his team asked Senior Colonel Wen.
Major General Ling had broken the military rules so blatantly in front of them. Why did they ignore it? They were from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. Young people were naive with their ideals. They thought that they could maintain justice and save the world.
"What do you plan to do?" Senior Colonel Wen looked at the newer member of his team with pity. He had never experienced any setbacks before so he was still innocent and naive.
"The least we could do was to support those mecha operators who wanted to leave and help them leave successfully." The new member felt something was amiss with his leader's expression so he kept his answer short and only said the things they could do.
Senior Colonel Wen's unhappiness dissipated a little when he noticed the newer member of his team speaking cautiously. This new member was a smart person he could groom so he decided to enlighten the young man and teach him some things. "This matter is not as simple as you think.""Why?" The new member was puzzled. "At first, Colonel Li wanted to let them leave, right? Why can't they leave after Major General Ling came?"
"Some things can be done by the people below but not by the person himself," Senior Colonel Wen answered.
"Huh?" The new member didn't understand.
"Colonel Li can allow these people to leave because he wasn't the real regiment commander. However, if Regiment Commander Ling allowed them to leave, it meant that he is useless." Senior Colonel Wen noticed that some older members also looked confused so he explained to them too.
Everyone finally understood their leader.
"But, Major General Ling beat his soldiers right in front of us. Aren't we going to report this?" The new member still didn't want to neglect his duty.
"Report? What evidence do we have?" Senior Colonel Wen looked at him blankly."There are so many people there and there must be recordings of the incident. I recorded the scene too." The new member seemed excited. This was a valid piece of evidence. With this evidence in hand, the guilty party couldn't deny what he did, no matter how powerful he was.
"You should take a look at your recording first," One of the older members noticed that his leader was getting angry so he quickly reminded the new member.
The new member was confused but he still checked his communicator. He wasn't able to find the video that he recorded.
"What happened to it?" The new member looked up in shock.
"The moment we entered 250 Ace Mecha Clan, all our communication and recording devices become useless. They looked as though they worked perfectly but in actual fact, they couldn't be used." The older member sighed. The last time they came to 250 Ace Mecha Clan, they recorded some video evidence too. However, when they tried to use the videos as evidence, they realized that it couldn't be found.
"But, we saw it." The new member didn't give up.
"Idiot. So what if we saw it? How many people do we have? How many people do they have?" Senior Colonel Wen scolded in a low voice, "Since you came to the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee, you must understand that we speak based on evidence. Without solid evidence, nothing can be concluded. Don't embarrass yourself."
The new member blushed and lowered his head. "I understand, leader."
"Alright, let's go." Senior Colonel Wen didn't have the heart to talk to these dumb witted people anymore. He left the base with a cold face.
The new member sat quickly in the hover car. He looked back at the entrance of the base and made a promise to himself. 'I will find evidence one day.'
Once all the outsiders had left, the tense atmosphere disappeared.
"Boss!" Luo Lang rushed over and wanted to hug Ling Lan.
Just as he was about to reach Ling Lan, a frightening gust of wind struck at him.
Luo Lang held his arms in front of him and stopped the vicious kick.
"Li Lanfeng, what are you doing?" Li Lanfeng shouted angrily.
Li Lanfeng was the one who kicked Luo Lang. This was a sneak attack. If Luo Lang didn't react in time, he would have been kicked.
Li Lanfeng placed his right leg back on the ground and said calmly, "Regiment commander is still injured. Don't be so reckless."
Luo Lang's face turned red in shame as he regretted his actions. He was too excited so he forgot about his boss's injury. If Li Lanfeng didn't stop him, he might have injured his boss even further. His anger disappeared and he looked at Li Lanfeng gratefully.
Ling Lan shook her head as she sighed at Luo Lang's innocence.
So what if he really hugged her? With her capabilities, she wouldn't be hurt no matter how hard Luo Lang hugged her. Luo Lang got fooled by Li Lanfeng again.
Many people knew this but since Li Lanfeng was doing it for the sake of their boss, they didn't say anything. Xie Yi moved his mouth but chose to keep quiet in the end.
Forget it. Let Luo Lang remain so naive. It's good to live without any worries too.
The calm personality was thinking the same way too. Hence, everyone allowed Luo Lang to continue being an innocent and naive person.
"Boss, welcome back!" Qi Long coughed and welcomed their boss on behalf of Lingtian.
"Regiment commander, welcome back." Yang Mingzhi smiled. He represented all the veteran soldiers of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
"Yes, I'm back," Ling Lan looked at everyone and said.
"Yay!" Everyone shouted to the sky happily. Although they believed that their regiment commander would come back, the past five months was still torture to them. They could finally relax now.
Ling Lan was touched. After experiencing war, these mecha operators finally treated her as their regiment commander sincerely. She felt that her decision to come back was right. If she left, how could she answer to all these mecha operators who believed in her?
Since you trust me, I won't leave you!
After everyone calmed down, Ling Lan turned her attention to the new mecha operators who were badly injured.
Everyone knew that their regiment commander was going to make arrangements for these new mecha operators. Hence, they regained their composure and the cafeteria turned quiet again. Everyone including the new mecha operators, waited for Ling Lan's decision.
Ling Lan played with her short whip and looked at the people on the floor quietly as she thought about what to do with them.
"Leader Yang, it seems like you have become more relaxed over the past five months," Ling Lan looked up at Yang Mingzhi suddenly and said.
