"Is she the girl who made you skip class?" Ling Xin asked with a smile. Making Xiao Han furious was quite a skill.
Lian Han raised an eyebrow at him, "You guys know about this too?"
"I know. After all, someone ignored your messages, which led your roommate to think you were missing. The first person they would contact would be your family, right?"
Lian Han: ...She actually felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense.
Then the girl made another note of Han Ningshu. It was just a pity that ever since Bei Ting caught her beating someone, Major Han was transferred back to the military headquarters the next day, and now she couldn't beat someone up anymore.
Ling Xin, of course, had no idea that her younger sister was already thinking about how to beat someone up. She continued the previous topic, "Is it tiring to carry the hatred of two people?"
The atmosphere, which had finally eased up a bit, suddenly froze. Lian Han said, "I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."
"So, will what you're doing endanger the Federation and the people?"
"Impossible." Lian Han said dismissively, "Since when has revenge become about harming the innocent?"
Ling Xin placed both hands on Lian Han's shoulders. "Then—the Ling family is willing to be your eyes, your support, and even your weapon."
Lian Han was stunned, took a few steps back, and looked directly into Ling Xin's eyes, "Even if it harms the interests of the Ling family?"
"Profits are far less important than family. My father and the others think so too."
Lian Han spoke slowly and deliberately, "Even if I die from these conflicts in the future?"
"This is what we owe you, what we owe that Your Majesty." If they hadn't lost her, she would now be like Ruan Muxue and Anhe Lance, proud and talented young ladies from noble families, instead of bearing this hatred.
He wasn't lying.
Thinking this, Lian Han took another step back and sighed softly, "But elder brother—I don't want to."
Before Ling Xin could speak, Lian Han continued, "It's getting late, I should go back."
Watching her jump off the balcony and leave, Ling Xin turned around helplessly, but then suddenly chuckled. Wasn't the blue gift box on the table left by this two-faced girl? She really knows how to be stubborn.
Should we lower the security level at home, so it's not inconvenient for her to sneak back...?
Upon returning to the villa, Lian Han's first action was to push open Pei Sumei's bedroom door. He found the girl lying on the bed, her face mostly covered by the blanket, asleep.
"Asleep?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow.
The door slammed shut. The girl, who had been "asleep," waited a while and, finding no movement, threw back the covers. "Yay! Sister, come on over..."
Seeing the figure standing at the door, Pei Sumei felt a chill run down her spine and smiled ingratiatingly, "Good evening, sister."
"Okay, good evening," Lian Han replied. "Weren't you asleep?"
"According to my study plan, I usually go to bed at 11 pm. But I can't fall asleep." Pei Sumei tried to salvage the situation one last time.
"oh."
Lian Han nodded slightly. Just when Pei Sumei thought she had escaped a disaster, she heard the other party continue, "I was busy making cards during the day and didn't have time to ask what you've been doing this week?"
"Study, study."
Lian Han looked at her, his fingers gently tapping the smart device on his left wrist.
The villa is now under the supervision of 003. Pei Sumei's face fell. "Well, I only watched a little bit of a TV series."
"a little?"
"Only one or two episodes."
"One or two episodes?"
Knowing that she would be in even worse shape if she asked about 003, Pei Sumei gritted her teeth and said with a "nothing to lose" attitude, "Just six episodes."
This time it was Lian Han's turn to be surprised. Based on what Aunt Pei had told her about this girl's habits, and her own understanding of her, if no one took care of her for a week, it would take at least thirty episodes.
Pei Sumei felt wronged by her silence. "Don't you believe me, sister?"
"I believe you." Judging from her expression, I knew she was telling the truth. "It's just strange that you're so obedient."
"I've spent all my time studying. It's February now, and the exam is in four months. How embarrassing would it be if I failed?"
Lian Han really wanted to say that if she didn't pass the exam, she could try again next year. She was only 12 years old and there was nothing shameful about it.
But seeing how determined she was to get into Diluo, even Lian Han didn't want to discourage her. "Self-study might not be as effective. I'll see if I can find you a senior to guide you."
"That voice just now?" Pei Sumei immediately looked up at her.
What awaited her was a sharp rap on the head from Lian Han, "What are you thinking? That was my brother who just spoke! You might as well not watch any more episodes of this drama."
"No, sister!" Hearing that Lian Han's tone had softened, Pei Sumei threw herself at her and begged.
One episode every two days.
"At least it wasn't all deducted," Pei Sumei asked again, "What about the internet that day?"
“How can you get guidance from SkyNet if you don’t go there? That was just to appease my brother. Think about what you just said, that you slept with seven or eight women? I was afraid he’d come after you.” Lian Han said irritably.
Pei Sumei stuck out her tongue. "I didn't know. I'll definitely apologize to my brother when I get the chance."
There's no chance. Lian Han thought, then patted her head. "Go to sleep early. Ask me anything you don't understand tomorrow."
Pei Sumei nodded obediently...
"Boss, I heard the military is making another big move." Whenever Ruan Zhenyue gets any news, he likes to share it with the people around him as soon as possible.
"What action could make you laugh so happily, Fatty?" Anhe asked. Although her family wasn't poor, they ultimately had no connection to the military. Therefore, the information they received was always a step behind.
"This all started with the territory under President Brent's jurisdiction. The Imperial Capital is so large that the military and political circles take turns guarding it, and the garrison is rotated every once in a while. Before, the unconventional experiment by the research institute caused a collective loss of face and public dissatisfaction. Although the general's punishment has been handed down, it has not been fully implemented due to the president's behind-the-scenes manipulation. It is said that the experiment is still being carried out in secret."
"Then he ran right into General Ning's line of fire. It was also the Führer's bad luck that during the troop rotation, an officer happened to notice something unusual about the troops going down. That officer was said to have a good relationship with the general, and he immediately reported it, which led to a thorough investigation."
"Officer? Which one?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow.
"With so many officers present, who would know? A general wouldn't leak information and harm his own subordinates," Ruan Zhenyue shrugged. "Anyway, if the last time the head of state only suffered minor injuries, this time it's been crippled. And it even attracted the attention of a general, so it's simply not worth it."
Anhe raised an eyebrow and asked, "You seem to have a high opinion of the general?"
"Isn't that obvious? Führer Brent may look impressive, but he doesn't have any military power. Even my grandfather only showed him superficial respect. Let alone a general who holds real power? He's fallen into the hands of a general twice; he's just waiting to get into big trouble. We'll see what happens next."
Lian Han's expression gradually became serious. It was certain that this matter was the work of the Northern Court.
But according to Fatty Ruan, surely Führer Brund wouldn't be so stupid as to start courting disaster again before the storm has even died down, especially in his own territory? How could someone who rose through the ranks of the fiercely competitive Brund family to secure his position as Führer be so intellectually challenged?
[This might not have been done by Jason Brent, but he's definitely involved.]
