Chapter 68 Who is she?
"You're now an official student at Moye's military academy. No matter what you think, without me, you'd be living a miserable life on a frontier planet." Xu Chengbi tapped his fingers on the table. "You're so smart, you should understand how much help I can bring to you. Life in the Imperial Army and life as a military academy student are completely different."
"You can just tell me what you want me to do." Xu Lingqu was in no mood to beat around the bush with the person in front of him.
Xu Chengbi paused, then stared at Xu Lingqu like a venomous snake stalking its prey. "You're not in a good enough state to tell you this. We can talk again when you've figured things out, but you won't get a third chance."
If she still doesn't cooperate during the second chat, he will just make her disappear.
No matter how much benefit he offers, he can only give her a second chance. At present, Xu Lingqu is completely different from what he expected. She is too smart and stubborn to be controlled. Letting her go on like this will only bring disaster upon herself.
Xu Lingqu stood up. She knew what Xu Chengbi was thinking at the moment. She would not give Xu Chengbi a second chance to call her into his sphere of influence.
Turned and left the office of the highest-ranking officer of the military base.
She had a vague idea of what Xu Chengbi was planning to do with her, a playoff between the pro-war and pro-peace factions within the Imperial Army. Her identity was a sensitive one, the daughter of a fallen Imperial soldier, but what Xu Chengbi was planning to do with her, and where he leaned, was still unclear.
It was still Ms. Gina who was responsible for sending her back. The two of them didn't talk much when they walked out of the base. It was not until they sat in Ms. Gina's aircraft that she spoke.
"Miss Lingqu, I can only tell you two things." This place must have been a place she had confirmed was absolutely safe, so she spoke directly to Xu Lingqu with such confidence, "I helped General Xu process a document."
Ms. Gina's expression remained grim. "I helped him revise the autopsy report on Madam Liu Linghui's death, deleting the mention that she was two months pregnant at the time of her death. Because of pension issues regarding the deceased soldiers and their families, the autopsy reports had been held within the military and never submitted to the Imperial Medical System for verification. This autopsy report was the only flaw in his lies, and I've already dealt with it."
These words struck Xu Lingqu's heart like thunder. She turned her head and looked at Gina: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Ms. Gina didn't know the content of the conversation between Xu Chengbi and Xu Lingqu, but she was certain that it must have contained some information about Xu Lingqu's life story. "The second thing is that the letter Liu Zhi wrote to him is genuine. It was written in the 83rd year of the Empire, the year I chose to work for General Xu. He passed away right after I wrote the letter. General Xu did indeed instruct the border officers to continue to provide you with relief funds to keep you alive. Of course, as long as it kept you alive, that was enough."
Xu Lingqu was even more certain that Xu Chengbi was trying to prove her identity as the daughter of a deceased former subordinate and use it to do something, and even asked Ms. Gina to help cover up the facts. Who Xu Lingqu was was not important to him, what was important was this identity.
And for Xu Lingqu himself, an even bigger mystery arose.
So who is she? Why did she allow Liu Zhi to raise her, with no relatives or connections, and even lie to the general when she realized her time was running out? Did he know that the ring she always wore belonged to the long-lost Liu Ming? Where did her special physique come from?
Could it be that the original owner was actually the daughter of Admiral Yinhe? But the time didn't match. Admiral Yinhe disappeared five years after the Interstellar Empire. Now it was the 95th year of the Interstellar Empire, and Xu Lingqu was only 18 years old.
Could it be a granddaughter? But Admiral Yinhe had never had any scandals. Even if he did have descendants, why would they hide their identities? And why would they even leave Xu Lingqu to an elderly man to raise?
Xu Lingqu twirled the ring in his hand, and after the turbulent questions in his mind had calmed down, he solemnly said to Ms. Gina, "Thank you."
If Ms. Gina had not provided the information, Xu Lingqu might have been really frightened by what Xu Chengbi said about his life experience. After all, she could not have imagined that Xu Chengbi could make every word he said a lie.
The aircraft stopped at the entrance of Moye Military Academy. Before Xu Lingqu got off, he looked at Ms. Gina and said, "My previous promise will always stand."
Under the nose of someone like Xu Chengbi, Ms. Gina told her this, which was bound to be a huge risk. So far, it had always been Ms. Gina who provided her with help, and this was what she should say.
Ms. Gina watched her enter the Moye Military Academy, her tall figure gradually disappearing into the distance. To this day, she has never regretted surrendering to Xu Lingqu. Especially after witnessing such a dramatic change in her during just one trial period, Gina has become even more resolute in her choice.
Back in the dormitory, Liuming in the ring reappeared in the form of a puppy, and the first thing he said was: "This General Xu is too insidious..."
Before it could grumble and curse Xu Chengbi for half an hour, Xu Lingqu interrupted, "Your memory is stuck on the day Yinhe tried to commit suicide?"
"Yes, after that I was sealed in the ring space and my real body could not be found. I could not appear again until you awakened your mental power." Liu Ming said obediently.
"Does Admiral Galaxy have a family? Does he have a daughter or a son?" Xu Lingqu asked.
"Huh? That guy? How is that possible! He was fighting with Caesar and Euripides every day. How could he have a family? Caesar and I can barely be considered half a family..." A very complicated human expression appeared on Luminar's dog face, a mixture of shock, disgust and nostalgia.
It has said so, the descendants of the Galaxy Admiral can be ruled out for the time being, but -
"The Caesar Euripides you mentioned is the founder of the empire, the founding emperor." She had only seen this name once when she first arrived in the interstellar era and was searching for some common sense. The Euripides family is the imperial royal family, and there should be no one with the same name as this person.
"It's him. I didn't like him very much at that time. I don't know why, but I always felt uneasy when I was close to him. Oh, actually, the Blade-wielding mecha is Caesar's mecha, and it will have this feeling too. But there's nothing I can do about it since Caesar is its master. Fortunately, my master is Galaxy. Oh no, that guy is looking for death. My master now is you! By the way, the red-haired guy who came to see you that day also gave me this feeling. You didn't find a friend named Uriphiz, did you?" Liu Ming suddenly remembered the red-haired guy that day, and now he still feels a little disgusted.
Xu Lingqu had long suspected Jin's identity, but he didn't expect that it would be completely confirmed by Liu Ming.
His Royal Highness the Prince must have come to Moye with a purpose, but Xu Lingqu does not have any discomfort towards Jin at the moment, so he can be included in the social circle for the time being.
She stood up and went to the bathroom. There was a smell in Xu Chengbi's office that made her feel uncomfortable and it got on her clothes, so she just washed up.
Passing by the sink, Xu Lingqu stopped in front of the mirror.
She didn't have the habit of looking in the mirror. She had basically never looked in the mirror during the apocalypse. She had looked in the mirror a few times in her normal life before the apocalypse, but not often. After coming to the interstellar space, except for being forced to sit in front of the dressing table at the beginning, she basically didn't care about the changes in her appearance.
The girl in the mirror was no longer as sickly and fragile as she was at the beginning, and her temperament had changed so much that she looked like a completely different person.
He has sharp black eyes and a straight nose. When he looks down at people, there is an indescribable sharpness and a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Suddenly, Xu Lingqu felt that the girl in the mirror was three or four points similar to himself who was living a normal life before the end of the world.
