Bang!
Just as Lanling was in despair, the thick glass of the Alphard suddenly shattered.
Sharp shards of glass instantly covered Zhao Chen's back. Zhao Chen screamed in pain. Before he could react, a large hand reached in and yanked the car door down, lifting him out of the car like a chick.
Bang!
Zhao Chen was thrown heavily to the ground, dazed and confused. He stared in horror at the two young men before him. He immediately recognized them—weren't they the two strangers who had just been sitting at their table?
"It's you? What do you want?" Zhao Chen asked in a trembling voice. Although he was about to become an officer, he had never experienced the bloody battlefield. The two men in front of him had a strong aura of bloodlust that made him feel an instinctive fear, like a kitten encountering a real tiger. He was really not able to withstand it!
Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. "To bully an innocent woman in broad daylight is worse than being a beast. Do you even deserve to join the Floating Pagoda Army?"
Zhao Chen's face was grim. "Since you know I'm about to join the Floating Pagoda Army, you still dare to provoke me? You have some nerve! Kneel down and apologize to me right now, and maybe I can forgive you. Otherwise, believe me, I'll get the military to kill you right now!"
Snap!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a large slap landed on his face.
It was Lan Ling who had just gotten out of the car.
At this moment, Lan Ling clutched her chest, filled with rage, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Zhao Chen, you bastard! How dare you treat me like this? I will never forgive you in my life!" Lan Ling clutched her chest, her delicate body trembling with anger.
Although the two had a falling out because of Huang Ziming, they were still childhood sweethearts, and Zhao Chen's behavior had completely disappointed her!
Zhao Chen clenched his fists tightly, his face grim, and said, "How can you blame me? Didn't you force me to do this? Our engagement day is coming up soon, and my dad has been wanting you to come home with me for a proper ceremony, but you've kept making excuses. How can I not be anxious? And today, on this kind of occasion, you had to bring up Huang Ziming's matter to disgust me. Do you think I feel good about that?"
Lan Ling took a deep breath and said coldly, "Why can't we mention Ziming's matter? Without the Huang family, would my Lan family be where we are today? Would the Zhao family be where we are today? People shouldn't be ungrateful!"
“Ziming is already in this state. If we don’t speak up for him, no one will help him from now on! He’s lying in a hospital bed, and he’s being scorned by everyone! As his good friend, how can you bear to do this?”
"I don't think this engagement needs to be called off! Zhao Chen, I'm officially informing you now that our engagement is dissolved! You remember this: even if I, Lan Ling, am lucky enough to end up with a homeless man on the street, I will never marry a good-for-nothing like you, much less marry into a sycophantic family like yours!" Lan Ling said resolutely, almost shouting it out.
"you!"
Zhao Chen's face stiffened with anger. He went up to Lan Ling and continued to persuade her, "Lan Ling, the Huang family's power is gone. In this world, some things are not about right or wrong, it's just a matter of the winner taking all! Besides, this is not something you or I can control!"
"Please, I'm begging you, let's just let this go, okay? I'm about to enlist, and my dad has spent a fortune to get in touch with a captain. With his help, I'll be promoted incredibly fast as soon as I get in, and my future will be limitless! If we get married, when I come back, you might be the corps commander's wife!" Zhao Chen said in a seductive tone.
The legion commander is already a mid-level position in the army, and if he performs well and makes meritorious contributions, he may even be able to obtain a title!
However, Lan Ling shoved him away and sneered, "Zhao Chen, what do you take me for? We've known each other for twenty years, you should know me. I, Lan Ling, am a tough nut to crack. If I like someone, I'd be happy to pay them to me. But if I don't like someone, don't even mention a legion commander, even a young marshal is trash in my eyes!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression froze. Feng Jiu also grinned mischievously.
Zhao Chen, on the other hand, was furious. "You, you're simply stubbornly clinging to your delusions!"
"Yes, I'm stubborn and I don't want to see the truth. From now on, don't bother me anymore. You go your way, and I'll go mine. Let's not talk to each other!"
After Lan Ling finished speaking, she turned to leave.
Zhao Chen was about to rush forward when Feng Jiu kicked him to the ground with a thud.
"Shameless thing! Miss Lan has already distanced herself from you, why do you still insist on being a lapdog!"
Zhao Chen rolled on the ground a few times, wincing in pain. After getting up, he was about to fight back, but Feng Jiu glared at him and stopped him.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, nodded heavily, and said viciously, "Damn it, you just wait, I'm going back to get some people, I'm going to kill both of you today!"
"Alright! Go ahead and find them. Bring everyone you can find, and let's see who can kill whom!" Feng Jiu glared at him, and Zhao Chen stumbled in fright, turning and running away.
At this moment, Lan Ling looked at Lin Yu and the other person with a grateful expression, "Thank you, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would have suffered a great loss!"
“However, you’ve offended Zhao Chen, and this matter probably won’t end well. He’s now a member of the Floating Pagoda Army, and the connections his family has are very strong. Now that you’ve beaten him, he might bring that military bigwig over. Maybe you should leave quickly?” Lan Ling’s face showed a worried expression.
Given the relationship between the Lan and Zhao families, she believed that Zhao Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to her, but it was hard to say about these two strangers!
Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. I'm never afraid of trouble. If he really dares to send people, then let him come. I've been wanting to clean house of such scoundrels in the army!"
He bribed his way into official positions, never expecting such sordid things to happen within the Buddhist Army. It seems he has no choice but to take action!
Upon hearing this, Lan Ling was slightly taken aback. "You...are soldiers too?"
Lin Yu nodded. "That's right, we came from Fengtian!"
"Fengtian?" Lan Ling looked surprised. With her experience, she could tell at a glance that these two young men were probably no ordinary people, given the officers from Fengtian and their bearing.
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that you have also come for this 'Landscape Painting'?"
Lin Yu shook his head. "I am indeed interested in the Jiangshan Map, but what I am more interested in this trip to the interior is Jiang Xinxin and the heads of the four major families!"
"What??"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ling froze on the spot!
