After Chen Lan delivered these thought-provoking remarks, everyone present was stunned.
"This..." The militia members looked at each other, puzzled and at a loss.
"Does this woman even know what she's saying?" they wondered to themselves, but dared not utter a word.
After all, this matter involves Chen Yu and Lin Lele.
Although Lin Lele didn't quite understand what Chen Lan was saying, it was clear that he was belittling her, so she immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense! Why can't I beat them? Why can't I be the leader of Tianyu Base?"
Upon hearing Lin Lele's words, Chen Lan's heart sank.
It’s over!
I was careless!
As the saying goes, "Honest advice is hard to swallow."
This female commander was clearly the kind of person who only listened to praise and couldn't stand the slightest provocation.
It seems that my heartfelt words have backfired.
Moreover, the soldiers under her command were a bunch of opportunistic and incompetent fools.
She had thought that even if Lin Lele listened to her, as long as her subordinates were loyal and reliable, they would be able to recognize the problems Lin Lele was currently facing and work with her to "purge the court of corrupt officials."
But judging from the cautious looks the soldiers gave Chen Yu, she realized she had been overthinking things.
"My life is over!" Chen Lan lamented inwardly.
Originally, she might not have died, after all, Chen Yu had promised to save her life.
However, she didn't believe Chen Yu's promise, and she wanted to take a big gamble, a chance to defy fate.
She knew all too well that in this apocalyptic world, power and status were often closely linked to life and death.
She no longer wanted to be a pawn to be manipulated; she wanted to become the master of her own destiny.
However, in retrospect, her risky decision was a mistake; she lost the gamble.
He not only lost his future, but also his life.
Thinking of this, Chen Lan felt utterly hopeless.
She released Lin Lele's leg, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh.
This sigh was not only for her, but also for the female commander in front of them who was "not very bright".
She could almost foresee that in this cruel apocalypse, this naive and powerful female commander would be gradually devoured by the man called "Mr. Chen," ultimately losing everything, and her future would be bleak.
Haha~
Suddenly, a laugh that seemed out of place in the atmosphere rang out.
Chen Lan looked up in confusion and discovered that the laughter was coming from Chen Yu.
"Interesting, Chen Lan, your assessment of Lele is quite accurate." Chen Yu glanced at Lin Lele with a hint of teasing.
"Sir, you've gone too far!" Lin Lele glared at Chen Yu, pouting slightly in displeasure.
"You can't do anything right all day, all you do is brag!" Chen Yu said irritably. "What? Are you hoping I die? Inheriting the base? Come on, just shoot me dead."
Chen Yu pointed to his head and walked towards Lin Lele.
"I...I was just saying it offhand!" Lin Lele muttered. "Besides, our Tianyu Base is such a big industry, someone has to manage it, right? Nobody can guarantee they'll never encounter danger. We never know whether an accident or tomorrow will come first, so we have to make plans in advance."
"You..." Chen Yu was so angry with Lin Lele that he made a gesture as if he was about to spank her.
"I was wrong, sir. There are so many men here. Please give me some face, okay?" He dodged with a grin, clasping his hands together in a pleading gesture, but his eyes were full of mischief.
The militia members were genuinely embarrassed by the scene; they didn't know whether to leave or laugh.
They could only stand still, eyes downcast, ears down, maintaining a solemn expression, like still statues.
"Hmph! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you'll be punished according to family rules!" Chen Yu also realized that this was not the time to argue with Lin Lele. He glared at Lin Lele and said a harsh word.
From the moment Chen Lan mentioned the "inheritance base," Chen Yu knew that Lin Lele was just bragging to someone again.
However, it's unclear whether Lin Lele misspoke or Chen Lan had a misunderstanding about his relationship with Lin Lele.
Judging from Chen Lan's words, Chen Yu seemed to be a gigolo who had deceived Lin Lele's feelings and lived off her.
This left him speechless.
At this moment, Chen Lan's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
Everything was wrong!
She misjudged the situation.
She originally thought that Lin Lele was the real leader of the group, while Chen Yu was just a scumbag who used Lin Lele to bully others.
She hates scumbags more than anything in her life! Especially scumbags who cheat you out of money and sex!
So he decided to place all his hopes on Lin Lele in order to gain her protection and achieve great things in the future.
In her view, this was a win-win situation: Lin Lele needed a strategist to consolidate and expand her power base, while Chen Lan longed for a stage where she could showcase her talents and break free from constraints.
However, at this moment, Chen Lan realized that she was terribly wrong.
Her heartfelt words not only failed to gain Lin Lele's approval, but also aroused her resentment, and completely offended Chen Yu, the real power holder.
Chen Lan felt a mix of emotions, including regret and resentment, but more than anything, she felt confused and fearful about the future.
