Chapter 282 Black Group
Lan Ximeng squinted her eyes and looked up, feeling the heat of the sun on her face. The sunlight shone on her face, bringing a long-lost warmth and tranquility.
She had only been on the ground for half a day when she felt the coldness spreading all over her body. This contrast made her cherish the sunshine at that moment even more.
Just as she was feeling the sunlight, the black ball that had been on Lan Ximeng's head jumped off her head and disappeared silently in her shadow.
At 2:25 p.m., Lan Ximeng sent the last person into the starship. She stood at the entrance of the starship and watched the last person enter.
She touched her head and found that the black ball had left without her knowing. She searched her body but couldn't find it, so she secretly glanced at her own shadow through the laptop.
So it's here.
"Go back and have a rest. You've worked hard this time." Lan Guoqiang's voice came from behind. He gently touched Lan Ximeng's head, with a hint of kindness in his eyes. But his eyes were looking at Lan Ximeng's shadow, his face full of anger.
Lan Ximeng looked in the direction her father was looking in confusion, but there was nothing on the ground. There was a hint of confusion on her face, and she asked, "Dad, what are you looking at?"
"Ah? No, let's go up! Your mother and I are going to go downstairs to clean up." Lan Guoqiang changed the subject, pushing Lan Ximeng's back to let her go up to the starship to rest, "Your room is 202."
"Okay." Lan Ximeng looked at the ground again, found nothing, and walked onto the starship. She knew in her heart what her father was angry about, but it was better for her to pretend she didn't know.
After handling the matter, Chen Chuntao had a brief conversation with Lan Ximeng and then came to Lan Guoqiang. Seeing his dark complexion, I asked, "Who offended you?"
Lan Guoqiang looked at Lan Ximeng's departing back angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "That brat has been following Xiaomeng all the time!"
"Which brat?" Chen Chuntao didn't react at first and looked at Lan Ximeng's leaving back. When she saw Lan Ximeng's shadow moving, she knew who her husband was talking about.
"You are talking about him," Chen Chuntao said, looking at the angry Lan Guoqiang, "He is protecting your daughter."
She patted Lan Guoqiang's arm and said, "Don't be angry, we still have to work!" Chen Chuntao smiled secretly in her heart, thinking that maybe Xiao Meng had already known it.
Lan Ximeng came to room 202 and felt that she had not had a good rest. She wanted to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. She came to the bathroom, just as she put her hand on the door handle, she suddenly said, "Do you still want to watch me take a bath?"
Suddenly, Lan Ximeng's shadow began to boil, and a black ball suddenly jumped up and escaped directly from the crack in the door. Lan Ximeng touched her belly and kept laughing: "Hahaha! Do you think I don't know?" She thought to herself, I'm going to embarrass you to death.
After escaping, the black ball came to room 201, jumped straight into the quilt, and kept squirming.
So embarrassing!
Lan Ximeng finished her shower happily and sighed comfortably, "How great!" She lay on the bed, every cell in her body immersed in the relaxation brought by the hot water, and her fatigue was instantly dispelled.
She closed her eyes and began to recall the cause of this incident. When she was still on Tianquan Star, Lan Ximeng was actually able to avoid capture by that orc. But she saw Lan Yuncheng at that time, and he was shaking his head at her, meaning that he didn't want her to resist. At that moment, she realized that the plan Lan Yuncheng had mentioned a long time ago had never ended.
Maybe this is just the beginning.
Lan Ximeng recalled everything she had experienced in the laboratory and the changes in her mentality. She felt that her participation this time, in addition to finding out the clues behind the scene, was also to be "trained".
She didn't know when her parents joined the Federation, but she could feel that they had developed a sense of belonging here. If a fight broke out here, her parents and older brother would definitely join in without hesitation.
From the beginning until yesterday, I had the same idea: to live a good life. But judging from what happened today, I have also been successfully “trained”. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, she just felt a deep helplessness.
"Now I am also a real interstellar person, right?"
"Oh!" Lan Ximeng sighed, wondering where her elder brother and the others were now. She thought he would be following her, but she hadn't seen them until now. A trace of worry welled up in her heart, hoping that they would be safe.
At the same time, Lan Yuncheng, who was worried about him, was disguised as a white-skinned lion orc. He was wearing a black robe, wrapping himself tightly, leaving only a pair of cold eyes exposed. Behind him were two people carrying the box that previously contained Lan Ximeng.
Lan Yuncheng and Bai Lan had been outside for ten minutes. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes and a sneer on the corners of his mouth, as if he was full of disdain for everything around him.
"This is how you treat your heroes!" Lan Yuncheng's voice was low and cold, completely different from his usual voice. The pressure from him was like a substance that pressed down on the short orc guard standing in front of him. The powerful momentum knocked the other party to the ground, unable to move.
"Please forgive me, Count. I was blind. Please come this way." The short orc guard struggled to get up from the ground, with fear and humility on his face. He quickly pointed the direction, his voice trembling: "The Marquis is waiting for you in the conference room."
After saying that, he half bent over and led the way, carefully avoiding Lan Yuncheng's pressure.
Lan Yuncheng snorted coldly and followed behind with the guards behind him. Each of his steps seemed extremely steady, as if he knew everything around him.
After Lan Yuncheng and the others left, the orc guard lying on the ground dared to raise his head. With a look of relief on his face, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I'm scared to death. Let's not take this kind of job next time." Guard A said in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his voice. He was almost unable to breathe due to Lan Yuncheng's pressure just now, and that terrifying feeling left him with lingering fears.
"Yes, we can't get involved in such a thankless task." Guard B also nodded, his voice full of helplessness.
He glanced at the direction where Lan Yuncheng left and whispered, "The Marquis took too much risk this time and directly angered the Earl."
"Yes, the conflict between the Marquis and the Earl is no secret." Guard A said in a low voice, "I don't know if the Marquis's plan this time will succeed."
"I hope so." Guard B sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He knew that the conflict between the Marquis and the Earl had reached an irreconcilable point, and as small characters, they could only be caught in the middle and deal with it cautiously.
The conflict between the Marquis and the Earl has a long history. The Earl holds a very high status and power in the human territory. He can easily gain a lot of merit and resources without doing much. The Marquis has been trying to improve his status, but he can never be compared with the Earl.
After completing this mission, the Earl will be promoted to Marquis, which makes the Marquis feel an unprecedented threat. The Marquis originally planned to use this mission to give the Earl a warning and let him know that his position was not unshakable.
If it was the real Earl, he might have been suppressed, but this was Lan Yuncheng in disguise, and his strength was far beyond the Marquis's imagination.
