Chapter 313 Being Scolded
"By the way, Captain Lan is looking for you." Lu Lige added.
"My dad?" Lan Ximeng's head buzzed and she instantly remembered that she had contacted her parents before. Her heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down her back. Oops, I forgot all about that! Dad must have known that I had acted on my own, otherwise he wouldn't have asked my sister-in-law to look for her.
"Come, I'll take you to the liaison room." Lu Lige looked at Lan Ximeng's wilted look and felt both angry and amused. He turned around and led the way.
Lan Ximeng followed behind with heavy steps, racking her brains to think of how to explain to her parents so as to escape the scolding. After thinking it over, she still felt that admitting her mistake directly was the wisest option. After all, things have come to this point, and it can’t get any worse.
"Sister-in-law, where are we now?" Lan Ximeng tried to change the subject to ease her inner tension.
"We are on the Empire's planet Kappa, which has just been captured by our Federation." A complex look flashed across Lu Lige's eyes, full of emotion. Who could have imagined that after mastering the orcs' identification methods, the Federation would advance so rapidly? Looking back on those arduous battles in the past, there is a sense of absurdity that they were all wasted.
What is even more ridiculous is that the key means to deal with the orcs was actually provided by their own companions. Nothing could be more unpredictable than this.
Half an hour later, Lan Ximeng walked out of the liaison room slowly with her head hung, like a defeated rooster. Alas, after being scolded by her parents for a full half hour, she was now secretly glad that her parents were not around, otherwise she suspected that she would have to taste the taste of "braised pork with rattan sticks".
"Your eldest brother and the others have woken up. Do you want to go and see them?" Lu Lige couldn't help laughing when he saw Lan Ximeng's dejected look. This kid really deserved to be scolded. But then again, if it weren’t for Lan Ximeng, Lan Yuncheng and the others might have... suffered disastrous consequences.
"Really?" When Lan Ximeng heard that her brother woke up, her eyes instantly widened and sparkled, and she said excitedly: "Then I'll go now!" As soon as the words fell, she ran towards the medical room at a quick pace.
Lu Lige shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his face, and followed Lan Ximeng to the medical room.
In the medical room, Lan Yuncheng was helped to sit up by the nurse. Although his face was as pale as paper and his body was extremely weak, he had already thrown himself into the aftermath work.
"Brother! Brother! How are you? Are you okay?" Lan Ximeng rushed into the ward like a gust of wind and ran straight to Lan Yuncheng. She looked him up and down eagerly, wishing she could check her brother's whole body. If there weren't so many people around, she would have wanted to just tear off her brother's clothes and check his injuries.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Lan Yuncheng tried to stay calm, raised his hand and touched Lan Ximeng's head, and asked softly: "Did your parents scold you?"
"Hmm!" Lan Ximeng pretended to be aggrieved, pouted her lips, and complained: "I was scolded so badly!"
"Who told you to act so foolishly?" Lan Yuncheng originally wanted to scold his sister severely, but when he thought that they were able to escape the gates of hell thanks to Lan Ximeng, he swallowed the blame that was on his lips and forgave her this time.
Lan Ximeng lowered her eyes and caught a glimpse of Lan Yuncheng's empty right calf, which she found particularly glaring.
Lan Yuncheng noticed his sister's gaze and hurriedly comforted her: "The medical conditions here are limited. You will get better soon when you return to the Federation."
"Yeah." Lan Ximeng nodded mutely.
"We are now in the orcs' territory. Although this planet is temporarily under our control, the situation will be very dangerous once the orcs react. Wait until Wei Huaiyu recovers a little, and then you can follow him back to the Federation." Lan Yuncheng looked worried. He really didn't want to let his sister stay in this dangerous place.
Such a serious incident that happened on the empire's main star had already been exposed, and now every part of the empire is on alert. If you want to leave on a starship, you will only be suspected.
Lan Ximeng wanted to stay and help, but when she met her brother's worried eyes, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and could only whisper, "Okay."
After Lan Ximeng left, the smile on Lan Yuncheng's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes dimmed. He turned to look at the other teammates lying in the treatment chamber, his heart full of worry and concern.
"They will wake up." Lu Lige walked forward, gently hugged Lan Yuncheng, and comforted him gently.
"I know." Lan Yuncheng took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, patted Lu Lige's hand, and said, "Tell me about the situation on this planet."
Lu Lige nodded, his expression became serious, and he slowly said: "When you sent us here, this place was under attack by orcs. Somehow they knew that we could extract the orcs' breath and avoid their inspection. The personnel we arranged before were exposed, and this newly established gathering place was attacked."
Ever since the Federation mastered the means to seduce the orcs, it has secretly sent people to infiltrate the Empire. The planet where they are now is one of the secret gathering points. Unfortunately, other gathering points had been destroyed by the orcs, resulting in heavy losses.
Hearing this, Lan Yuncheng's eyes turned cold. There were indeed a lot of traitors in the Federation.
"Fortunately, the virus we brought has taken effect, and now all the orcs outside are in a coma. However, our casualties are also serious." Lu Lige said with a heavy tone, full of grief. Not all orcs are keen on using humans for experiments. Some orcs hate humans to their core and will show no mercy once they fight.
Lan Yuncheng looked solemn, listened carefully, nodded silently, and then explained the follow-up work one by one in an orderly manner. After saying this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Where did you arrange for the two Baishu to be stationed?"
"In a closed room."
"Just let them stay there and don't treat them badly."
At this time, Wei Huaiyu had just woken up from the treatment chamber, and saw Lan Yuncheng wrapped in a thin blanket, sitting by the bed, concentrating on processing documents. His face was as pale as paper, without any blood, but he still couldn't let go of the work at hand. Such dedication and tenacity are admirable.
This may be the reason why he was able to rise quickly and hold a high position in a short period of time.
"Are you working so hard?" Wei Huaiyu moved his arms, shook off the remaining treatment fluid on his hands, and slowly stepped out of the treatment chamber.
Lan Yuncheng heard the voice, raised his head, glanced at Wei Huaiyu, and asked, "Have you rested?"
"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?" Wei Huaiyu walked to Lan Yuncheng and sat down. He did not look at the documents on the table, but looked directly into Lan Yuncheng's eyes.
"Yes, take Xiao Meng back." Lan Yuncheng said bluntly.
"Don't you need me to stay and help?" Wei Huaiyu was a little surprised.
Lan Yuncheng rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You can come back when you go back. We are very busy here, so don't even think about taking a break."
Wei Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You are amazing."
In Lan Ximeng's room, Liuliu, with only half of his head left, was placed on the bedside table and was sleeping.
The damage to Liuliu was too serious and needed to be returned to the factory for repair.
“ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas!” Lan Ximeng sighed, her eyes full of helplessness.
