Chapter 1125: 1125
Yang Mingzhi thought deeply about Ling Lan’s words . After a few seconds, he smiled bitterly . “You understand the situation well . I was too simple-minded . ”
“You’re not simple-minded . You just don’t want to think,” Ling Lan answered .
Yang Mingzhi was stunned by the sudden praise . He laughed after a while . “Regiment commander, don’t be so direct . I have some ego too . ”
“There’s not much time left . I’ll only be able to let go of the Lingtian Mecha Clan after you sort out your thoughts . ” Ling Lan seemed to be referring to something .
Yang Mingzhi sighed . “I didn’t manage to fool you . ”
“You didn’t plan to fool me in the first place . If not, you wouldn’t show so many loopholes to me,” Ling Lan replied indifferently .
“Isn’t it because you stopped caring about these things? Or was I too sensitive?” Yang Mingzhi slightly smiled as he asked .
“There’s no point in saying such things . You know that Li Lanfeng has always been watching you . ” Ling Lan pouted . She always hated talking to sly old foxes . They always beat around the bush .
“I was under the impression that you won’t trust Big Leader Li . ” Yang Mingzhi smiled .
“Oh? Why?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows . She was curious about the reason why .
“Li Lanfeng is from the branch family but he has a strong connection with the main family . Moreover, you have two other successors of the Li family in your team . I thought that you would have your guards up against them . ” Yang Mingzhi had his own information sources so he managed to discover Li Lanfeng’s identity .

As for Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie, anyone who wanted to know more would be able to easily uncover their identity . The Li family had never thought of hiding them .
“They didn’t go to the 4th division but came to the 23rd division instead . It’s obvious that they wanted to make use of General Ling Xiao’s power…” Yang Mingzhi looked at Ling Lan’s mecha . He said with respect, “Or they might be eyeing you instead . They want to make use of your fame to break the bind the military has on the Li family . ”
“Actually, the Li family is very successful through your teachings . Under your guidance, the three members of the Li family gained a good military rank . Every one of them is lieutenant colonels or higher . Li Lanfeng is even a colonel . ” Yang Mingzhi smiled . “26 years old . When I was 26 years old, I was still working hard to become a senior captain . I only became a colonel after turning 35 years old . I’m really jealous of them . Why didn’t I meet such a good regiment commander like you when I was young?”
“I think you are very clear about their schemes already . ” Yang Mingzhi turned serious . “Do you really not mind or are you guarding against them while using them?”
“I’ve checked your past before you entered 250 Ace Mecha Clan . The First Marshal should be the one asking you to tell me all these information, right?” Ling Lan frowned . She went straight to the point .
“Regiment commander, since you already know it, why do you have to ask?” Yang Mingzhi gave a forced smile . All his secrets were uncovered . He was the team leader of Team 01 but he was also the First Marshal’s man .
“I just want to clear everything up at once . ” The Lingtian Mecha Clan could seem mysterious to outsiders but she knew everything about the clan clearly . This was the only way to prevent Lingtian from falling apart internally .
Ling Lan created Lingtian but one day, she might have to leave this mecha clan . However, she didn’t want Lingtian to only last briefly after her departure . She hoped that the spirit of Lingtian would pass down to future generations continuously .
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’re First Marshal’s man,” Ling Lan said seriously, “My father is under the First Marshal too . Hence, we’re from the same faction . ”
Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly . Was it really the same?
Today, if our loyalty lied towards the same person, then we’re from the same faction . Tomorrow, if our ideas are different, we would have to go our separate ways . However, the two people must be in the same position for that to happen .
He was groomed personally by the First Marshal . If his mecha clan didn’t get annihilated and he didn’t get mentally traumatized by it, he might have already become the general of the 1st division . That year, he was supposed to rise to become a major general .
However, even after he gave up on himself, the First Marshal didn’t give up on him . He still treated him very well and dragged him everywhere just to make him forget the pain . He was the one who didn’t want to bother the First Marshal so he applied to come to the 23rd division . If not, he might have been the most trusted adviser of the First Marshal .
His connection with the First Marshal was too deep . He didn’t know what he would do if the First Marshal asked him to leave Lingtian and go back to the 1st division .
That was why he tried his best to groom Liu Furong, Gu Dongyang, and the other team leaders . In the end, he was just a visitor of Lingtian, and he didn’t know how long he could stay for .
“Of course, just like what you said, the military is guarding against all the elite families, including, the Li family, Ye family, and the four big families . This was why members of other families could attain high positions in the military but the members of elite families couldn’t . ” Ling Lan had always chatted with her father about the secrets of the military so she knew how vigilant the military was of elite families .
“But… what do all these have to do with me?” Ling Lan asked lightly, “I’m just a regiment commander . ”
“They’re able to get what they want if they follow you . ” Yang Mingzhi was shocked .
“They need to have the strength to do that first . If they have it, why should I prevent them?” Ling Lan didn’t care .
“Aren’t you afraid they’ll take over your power?” Yang Mingzhi frowned .
“Only unconfident people will have such thoughts . ” Ling Lan smiled and said proudly, “Even if I gave Lingtian to them, it’ll still be my Lingtian once I step in . ”
Yang Mingzhi felt his heart pounding . He looked at the mecha floating in mid-air with a complicated expression . He felt that if the sky dropped, this mecha would be able to hold it up .
“I understand . ” Yang Mingzhi smiled . From the very beginning, Ling Lan wasn’t afraid . That was why he didn’t guard against the Li family or the First Marshal . From the moment the Lingtian Mecha Clan was created, Ling Lan was its soul .
“Our choice might be different, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work together . ”
“I understand, regiment commander . ” Yang Mingzhi smiled brightly .
“I only have one request . Don’t do anything that could harm Lingtian directly or indirectly . I won’t forgive anyone who does that . ” Ling Lan told him her baseline .
“I understand, regiment commander . ” Yang Mingzhi turned serious as he made his promise .
