The Lance family? Lian Han was taken aback. Before she could ask a question, she saw an officer walking towards her. "Miss Lian Han."
"May I ask who you are?"
"My surname is Yu, and I am the general's adjutant."
"Hello, Lieutenant Yu."
"This way, Miss. The General asked me to convey his apologies to you. The period around the New Year is a critical time for the war in the North, and I'm sorry that you will have to spend the New Year here," the adjutant said with a smile.
"The war is the priority. I also want to thank Uncle Ning for saving me."
The adjutant was taken aback. "Uncle—Uncle? General?"
"You can't call it that?"
The girl's question made Lieutenant Yu doubt himself. Marshal Ling and the General both served in the military headquarters, so it wasn't unreasonable for this young lady to call him "uncle." So, could the General actually be quite approachable? Suddenly recalling someone's gaze, Lieutenant Yu shuddered. "Don't be ridiculous!" he thought. "If the General were approachable, the Zerg would have stopped fighting!"
Seeing his stunned expression, Lian Han had no choice but to repeat, "Can't I call you that?"
“No. Please make yourself at home, Miss,” Lieutenant Yu quickly replied.
At the same time, he paid more attention to this Miss Ling. For a general who had never had a woman by his side before to treat her differently, whether it was taking care of her as a junior or something else, he had to be careful.
The two quickly arrived at a room. "This is Miss's room. There's a Skynet connection pod inside, so you can let your family know you're safe."
"Thank you for your trouble, adjutant."
Upon entering the room, Lian Han had only a chance to ask: [What are you going to An He's house for?]
"Why do you think you're unconscious?" the old man asked rhetorically.
Lian Han's heart skipped a beat. [Is it related to the Lance family?]
[It's related to your mother's sister, the matriarch of the Lance family. You were careless; she likely had a backup plan with that previous inheritance card.]
[What's the backup plan?]
[I don't know. All I'm sure of now is that Shen Sihan used your eyes to see what was happening around you, and even had a brief conversation with General Ning. If I hadn't hidden quickly, that woman might have discovered us.]
[What did she say to Ning Jue?]
[I will protect you.]
This answer made Lian Han's brows relax slightly. So he was worried about her, which is why he borrowed her eyes?
However, she still needed to visit the Lance family after returning home. She didn't need an eye that could monitor her at all times, even if the other party meant well.
She'd been curious about the relationship between that lady and her mother for almost half a year.
[I'll handle this when I get back. By the way, where's the little fox?]
The topic shifted, and Old Xing, looking distressed, said, "That heartless brat was lured away by General Ning with a piece of energy."
Lian Han: ...She really does need to be taught a lesson. We haven't even settled the score for making her desert her post last time.
In the restaurant, a fox, happily munching on meat, suddenly jolted awake. Looking up and finding nothing there, it continued eating. "So delicious!"
[And that planet...]
"Stop asking so many questions, just go check out the Skynet. The whole family is waiting for you to come online," Old Man Xing interrupted.
Thinking of his family, Lian Han touched his nose and quickly lay down in the Skynet connection capsule.
After logging in at her birthplace, Lian Han received a series of teleportation invitations. They were all family, was it necessary for each of them to send her one?
The girl's eyelids twitched, and she chose the first option that appeared, agreeing to send the message.
The next scene was a starry sky, a dark world with brightly colored stars that looked absolutely beautiful.
"Xiao Han, come here." Ling Xin waved to her from not far away.
Seeing that besides the Ling brothers and his aunt, there was a man she had never seen before, Lian Han guessed that he must be her marshal father.
Thinking this, Lian Han walked over quickly. Although his heart was beating a little faster, the girl remained quite calm. "Big brother."
"Little sister, how are you? Are you hurt?" Ling Ze leaned close to Lian Han, his face full of concern.
Before Lian Han could answer, Ling Ze had already been dragged away by Ling Wei. Then the woman pointed at the man and said, "Ling Xuanyu, your father."
"Hello, Father."
Ling Xuanyu opened his mouth, intending to greet him, but the words that came out were, "When we contacted each other before, the general said you were in the medical pod?"
"I was just exhausted, but I'm fine after a good night's sleep."
"How did we end up in the North?"
"I was caught in a spatial rift before, and the space shattered not long after. I was lucky enough to fall onto an unknown planet."
The same explanation was delivered in a completely different tone when speaking to family. If General Ning had heard her words, he would probably have felt a pang of sadness for half a second.
"An unknown planet? There shouldn't be any unknown planets in the North. You..."
"Shut up!" Ling Wei snapped, and Ling Ze fell completely silent.
He had the lowest status in the whole family.
"It's good that you're alright. Don't tell anyone about your escape."
Although he didn't understand what Ling Xuanyu wanted to do, Lian Han nodded.
"The war in the North means you won't be able to come back for the New Year this year."
“I know, Lieutenant Yu has already said so.”
Upon hearing the name of Lieutenant Yu, Ling Xuanyu's brows relaxed. The general still valued his daughter; at least she wouldn't be bullied.
Seeing that her father had finished asking questions, Ling Xin pulled Lian Han's hand to check it, and said with dissatisfaction, "You've lost weight."
How come she didn't notice? Lian Han raised an eyebrow, but still replied, "Isn't it good to be thinner? It's a good way to lose weight."
"You want to lose weight? You're all skin and bones, what's the point of losing weight? Xiaoze, once she gets back from the Northern Border, you're in charge of fattening her up. Otherwise..."
"Yes, ma'am!" Ling Ze's eyes lit up. "I told you to eat more. You got rejected, didn't you? What are you doing dieting, kid? That's something adults should think about."
