Lin Lang was betrayed and plotted against by her fiancé and best friend, forced to watch herself be dismembered.
Fortunately, she encountered an ancestral artifact that allowed her to return...
The eight deacons sat around a rectangular table, while Lin Lang and Xia Runzhong stood opposite them.
Lin Lang couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Ms. Lin, please don't misunderstand." A white-haired old man on the left stood up, breaking the silence and oppression. "We asked you to come here to confirm something with you."
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. What could possibly be wrong that would warrant the eight deacons mobilizing so many troops?" Lin Lang looked at the person in front of him sarcastically.
"You...little girl, how dare you talk to Deacon Wang? Do you know who is standing in front of you?" Lin Lang was very unhappy when the person who made her very uncomfortable spoke.
"That's Song Wujiang," Xia Runzhong reminded quietly from the side.
No matter whether there is Jiang or not, she has no good feelings towards people with the surname Song.
Song Wujiang's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring straight at Lin Lang, "Ms. Lin Lang, please explain this." He spread out a few photos in his hands, which clearly showed how Lin Lang saved the little boy.
"Song Wujiang, you are despicable!" Xia Runzhong straightened his back and shrugged his shoulders slightly, showing his inner resentment.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Song Wujiang's mouth. He slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to swallow everything around him into his lungs.
He glanced at Lin Lang and Xia Runzhong, a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes.
"Despicable?" Song Wujiang blew out a smoke ring contemptuously. "In this apocalypse, survival is the most important thing. But you have already threatened the survival and security of Dragon Nation."
Lin Lang took a look at the photo on the table and suddenly became angry.
It turned out that the child was arranged by them in advance!
They actually took advantage of an innocent child. If I hadn't heard that the child's father was a worker building an underground base, I would have spent two days in the underground base in my previous life.
Otherwise, she would not have taken action in front of so many people.
If she hadn't taken action, the child would have died in vain.
Lin Lang stared straight at Song Wujiang, her gaze like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Song Wujiang in front of her.
She took a step forward, her voice low and cold, unquestionable: "Did you arrange for that child today?"
Song Wujiang flicked the ash from his cigarette and slowly sat down again, the smoke curling around his face. "That's right," he admitted calmly. "If you, Lin Lang, hadn't rescued him today, I would have made sure the child received the best medical care."
Everyone present gasped at the words. Some looked in anger and disdain, others clenched their fists, their faces livid, and even more displayed a mixture of surprise and confusion.
Lin Lang felt a volcanic rage rising within her. "You are so shameless!" she scolded, gritting her teeth.
Song Wujiang remained calm, "For the safety of Longguo - sacrificing a child is worth it." Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.
Lin Lang clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, "You..." His words were blocked by anger, burning in his throat.
Lin Lang frowned and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists.
She knew that in this apocalypse of natural disasters, some people were often more terrifying than the natural disasters.
Xia Runzhong shot Song Wujiang a look like lightning: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Song Wujiang slowly stood up and didn't answer the question directly. He looked around at the faces of all the deacons, each of whom was waiting for his next words.
"My comrades!" He suddenly raised his voice. "I believe everyone has seen the report from the Dragon Academy of Sciences. The entire Dragon Country is facing a severe survival test. And Ms. Lin Lang..."
Lin Lang's heart sank, and he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
Song Wujiang continued, "You've already seen her abilities. For the sake of Dragon Nation, shouldn't we conduct a thorough investigation and study of her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present exchanged complicated looks, either of agreement or doubt.
The air seemed to be frozen and oppressive.
Xia Runzhong immediately retorted: "Bullshit! Lin Lang saved the child out of instinct! You're actually using this as an excuse to make a fuss—"
But Song Wujiang didn't give Xia Runzhong a chance to continue. A gloom flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xia Runzhong coldly, "Deacon Xia, I'm afraid you've known about Lin Lang's abilities for a long time, but you've been hiding it. Even now, with the video as evidence, you're still protecting her."
These words stunned the other deacons present.
"Runzhong, is what he said true?"
"Old Xia, is what he said true?"
"Old Xia, you..."
The three deacons, including Wang Haide, stood up and looked at Xia Runzhong with disbelief in their eyes.
He actually kept such a big thing a secret until now.
Song Wujiang looked at the reactions of the people present and felt very pleased with himself.
He turned to look at Xia Runzhong and said, "The military needs someone who is honest, calm, and rational to lead it." His voice gradually lowered. "With all due respect, you are no longer suitable to be the head of the military."
As soon as these words were spoken, the looks of the other deacons as they looked at Song Wujiang changed.
"Whether Xia Runzhong is suitable to be the head of the military is not the topic of this meeting." Wang Haide frowned and pushed his glasses on his nose.
"Yes, we want to discuss Lin Lang's problem."
The other deacons also nodded. Seeing that no one agreed with her, Song Wujiang suddenly put out her cigarette.
"Okay, let's talk about Lin Lang's problem. I suggest sending her to the medical building for research. If we can figure out where her abilities came from, we can promote them."
Haha, the tail is exposed.
Want the power in her.
Lin Lang could no longer suppress her anger, and she raised her hand slightly.
"Everyone, listen to me!" Xia Runzhong shouted, attracting everyone's attention. "Even though Lin Lang's abilities are astonishing, she has never done anything to wrong the Long Kingdom. On the contrary, she has helped and resolved major problems for the Long Kingdom."
Xia Runzhong's voice interrupted Lin Lang's movements, and he gave her a reassuring look. His gaze was like a ray of sunlight shining through the clouds on a winter day, resting warmly and firmly on Lin Lang.
The deacons who heard this began to murmur.
Some people frowned, as if expressing doubt about Xia Runzhong's words; while others had thoughtful expressions, as if they were weighing the truth of what Xia Runzhong said.
Lin Lang watched the confrontation between Xia Runzhong and Song Wujiang calmly, without showing any emotional fluctuations.
"You said Lin Lang didn't do anything to offend the Dragon Nation, but as far as I know, Lin Lang relied on his ability to kill innocent people!"
