Chapter 1186 Other Plans?

“During a previous mission with the regiment commander, we visited a base which conducted human experiments. Based on the data we collected over there, this base is investigating the secrets to longevity as well as domain realm activation. The most frightening thing was that they were able to replicate certain innate talents while also speeding up the advancement of human abilities. For instance, they could make a test subject enter the domain realm at the young age while making hackers of high caliber. We met many 15-year-olds who were domain realm masters during our excursion. However, they were fake domain realm masters,” Li Lanfeng explained indifferently.

Everyone was flabbergasted by the continuous bombs getting dropped at them with each sentence spewing out of Li Lanfeng’s out. Even in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, a 20-year-old domain realm master was considered a once-in-a-century genius. If someone managed to enter the domain stage at 15 years old, he would be as G.o.d-like as their regiment commander.

Tao Xiaotao still appeared confused by Li Lanfeng’s shocking statements.

“Longevity seems like a fantasy but we have realised that they had made some breakthrough in their experiment. The details of the experiment were destroyed along with the base so we couldn’t get ahold of the detail. We have no clue what they have concluded from their experiments.” Li Lanfeng looked at Tao Xiaotao coldly. “However, we still found a list of the people who partic.i.p.ated in this experiment, and one name in particular caught my attention. It was Shadow King!”

“No matter how you hide, you won’t be able to hide your trademarks. That video was embedded in the message. The ability used to do that is the unique ability of Shadow King, Shadow Link.” Li Lanfeng smiled happily. He was confident as he continued, “Unfortunately, we have a hacker who deeply understands your signature traits. We manage to find the source using Shadow Link. At the same time, we corroborated with the surveillance video. Tao Xiaotao, Shadow King, it’s you!”

Tao Xiaotao’s confused expression disappeared. He turned calm as he numbly asked, “Is it Immortal?” When he listened to Li Lanfeng’s detailed a.n.a.lysis, he knew that he couldn’t escape anymore so he gave up the clueless facade.

“Hmm?” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows.

“Besides that irritating Immortal, no one knows of Shadow Link. It was my oversight for not thinking that he is hiding here.” Tao Xiaotao scoffed.

Every hacker had a rival. Shadow King’s rival was Immortal. They had been opponents ever since he debuted in the secular world. Immortal was always ruining his every plan. It was his fault for not factoring Immortal’s disturbance in his plan. He was careless. He thought that there wouldn’t be any powerful hackers in such a newly advanced mecha clan. Yet, Immortal was hiding here. Immortal exposed him.

Li Lanfeng realized Tao Xiaotao had a misunderstanding but he didn’t correct him, as his misunderstanding was a good way to protect Ling Lan. He was happy to see this misunderstanding.

“I accept my defeat. However, I have only one last wish. Let me see my eternal rival, Immortal.” Tao Xiaotao gritted his teeth. He wanted to know what Immortal looked like. That way, even if he went to h.e.l.l, he would be able to curse him.

“I’m sorry. He doesn’t like visitors.” Li Lanfeng would never expose Ling Lan.

“What a coward. Immortal, come out!” Tao Xiaotao shouted agitatedly as he tried to struggle out of the surrounding soldiers’ grasp. If the soldiers hadn’t held him down, he might have rushed out of the meeting room.

“Bring him away.” Li Lanfeng told the soldiers who were suppressing Tao Xiaotao.

“Yes!” The soldiers bowed. As they were about to leave, Ling Yi charged forward and grabbed Tao Xiaotao’s shoulders. He was indignant. “Where is Tao Xiaotao?”

Tao Xiaotao frowned. Then, he sneered. “Of course he’s dead.”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Ling Yi raised his fist and punched Tao Xiaotao’s face.

Tao Xiaotao’s face turned red and swollen. Blood flowed from his mouth. His expression was sinister but there was exhilaration in his eyes. “Hit me! Hit me again! The body you’re hitting belongs to Tao Xiaotao. Unfortunately, it is just a body. HAHAHA!”

Ling Yi narrowed his eyes and lowered his fist. He couldn’t bear to hit him again.

Li Lanfeng glanced at the soldiers to signal them to quickly go. They quickly dragged the delirious Tao Xiaotao out of the room, leaving behind Ling Yi and his friends. They were filled with anguish as they looked at their once-friend.

“As for you, it wasn’t your intention to harm Ling Lan but you were the source of everything that had happened. If you didn’t film the video, everything wouldn’t have happened. As per protocol, you have to be punished. I’ll lock you up and wait for the regiment commander to come out from his closed-door meditation.” Yang Mingzhi and the other team leaders raised their eyebrows in mild surprise. They thought Li Lanfeng would use this opportunity to get rid of Ling Yi but instead, he waited for Ling Lan to make the final verdict.

Ling Yi accepted his verdict. He broke the rules first. He was the cause of everything. In his mind, he should definitely be punished.

Yi Tiange and his friends watched Ling Yi as he got taken away. None of them said anything in the process. Suspicion tore the trust between them. They told themselves that they must understand Ling Yi’s predicament but a broken heart wouldn’t heal so quickly. They would never be as close as before.

Even among the four of them, there was a slight air of awkwardness. It would take some effort to mend their relations.h.i.+ps to the back it was before.

Some things couldn’t be taken back after it was spoken.

Li Lanfeng smiled as he tidied his files. On his face, there was a beautiful but frightening smile.

In the secret room, Ling Lan suddenly opened her eyes.

A few seconds later, the door opened and a familiar figure walked in.

Li Lanfeng closed the door before taking his mask off. He smiled brightly as he walked towards Li Lanfeng.

“You’re in a good mood.” The happiness Li Lanfeng was exuding was overwhelming. Every single emotion he was displaying seemed to be telling Ling Lan ‘Ask me why I’m happy!’. It felt wrong if she didn’t ask him.

“Yes.” Li Lanfeng continued smiling.

Ling Lan closed her eyes and asked calmly, “What is the good news?”

Ling Lan started chanting the Heart Sutra in her mind to stop herself from being seduced by Li Lanfeng.

Why is Li Lanfeng seducing her so frequently recently? Did his seducing skills get better? Ling Lan remembered Luo Lang. When Luo Lang got stronger, he would get prettier too. Maybe Li Lanfeng was like that too

“I locked Ling Yi up.” Li Lanfeng sat beside Ling Lan and stared at her intently.

“You have other plans?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. It seemed like Li Lanfeng still had some use for Ling Yi. If not, Li Lanfeng would have got rid of him.
