Novel Bin Chapter 1297 - Surveillance
1297 Surveillance
“They are really serious about monitoring us.” Luo Lang snorted coldly. His beautiful face had a hint of mockery. He didn’t think that even after fighting for the Federation with their lives, they would be considered as enemies in the end.
“They are just being careful.” Ling Lan had a cute smile on her face. She looked like she was saying that the dress in her hands was very beautiful.
“It’s rather because you and General Ling Xiao did such a good job in growing Lingtian and the 23rd Division to what they are today. All of them want to take a bite of them.” Li Lanfeng’s words were right on point.
“Only someone incapable would admire the assets of others.” Ling Lan laughed coldly.
“Commander, you’re wrong.” Li Lanfeng smirked lightly.
“Hmm?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows in response. Her supposed sharp look now looked different on her cute and adorable face.
Li Lanfeng quickly shifted his gaze. The ears under his military cap were already red from blushing. He coughed and added in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Those who sit in high positions aren’t incapable. It’s just that you and General Ling Xiao are too amazing. That’s why they seem so average.”
Luo Lang looked at Li Lanfeng in admiration. This was definitely the best possible way to praise someone. It wasn’t a standard way of praise too. He should learn how to do it from him.
Li Lanfeng’s words indeed made Ling Lan feel much better.
At that moment, the couple walked into the shop and like them, they were looking at clothes.
Li Lanfeng gave a look to Luo Lang. Luo Lang then said, “We’re almost done looking through the clothes here. Why don’t we go upstairs and take a look?”
Ling Lan’s eyes brightened and immediately said, “Okay, okay.” Ling Lan acted perfectly like an average girl who just wanted to see more of the luxurious brand name products in the shop. Plus, Ling Lan’s cute and adorable look made her behavior seem much more natural. She didn’t even annoy those young masters and young mistresses from special backgrounds with her behavior.
The three of them quickly went up to the second floor. While they were doing so, the couple sent glances at each other. They put away the luxury products they had in their hands and followed Ling Lan and the others up to the second floor.
This luxury store had a total of five floors. There were elevators and also automatic escalators. Ling Lan and the others didn’t go to the second floor but instead went straight to the top floor.
The couple also followed them to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was filled with expensive and luxurious jewelry. Surprisingly, it was relatively empty compared to the other floors. Although the couple was slower than Ling Lan’s group by one or two minutes, they still managed to find them after going around the floor. They quickly let out a sigh of relief after finding them
Ling Lan and the others were carefully looking through the jewelry and precious stones in the display case. It was as though they were entranced by the jewelry as they were stuck there for 15 or so minutes.
The couple both frowned at their suspicious actions. They were looking at the display case for too long. The woman nudged the man her arm a little and the man took her over. They were pretending to go over to choose some jewelry from the display case.
The woman let go of the man and then moved to the side of Li Lanfeng on her left.
Li Lanfeng seemed to have noticed her. He turned his face towards her before flashing her with a large smile.
‘So... beautiful!’ The woman could feel her eyes being dazzled. Li Lanfeng’s seemingly average face was instantly warped into the most beautiful face in the world because of that smile. She was entranced by it. It gave her the impulse of kneeling down towards him.
Suddenly, she felt alarm bells going off in her head. She didn’t hesitate and bit her tongue. She wanted to use the immense pain to force herself awake.
“Too late...” Li Lanfeng smiled. He was waiting for them to come for 15 minutes. He was almost losing his patience.
Right as Li Lanfeng finished speaking, the woman suddenly felt everything in front of her turning pitch black. The lights along with the jewelry she had seen shining brightly all vanished. There was only darkness in her vision. It was as though the scene she saw earlier was a dream.
The man saw his partner suddenly turning stiff. He gave her an odd look, but in the next second his expression changed. Right as he was about to scream, he discovered that he couldn’t make a single noise.
“Your opponent is me. Don’t get distracted.” Luo Lang had already activated his Domain when they got close to them. He was just waiting for them to come towards him.
The man suddenly discovered that his partner, who was standing not so far from him, was suddenly gone. Not only that, even the entire store was gone and only a gray colored sky was left. There was also a beautiful young woman smiling at him. Just the smile made his heart jump, but it also gave him a chill down his spine.
If there was a third person there, they would have discovered that Ling Lan, who was standing between Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng, had long left.
At that moment, Ling Lan had already left the luxurious shop and was rushing towards the general’s manor. It was also lucky that Ling Lan was already an imperial realm formidable warrior. Her amazing control of her domain concept didn’t alarm the imperial stage experts guarding Planet General.
Of course, she didn’t know whether she could get past Mu Shui-qing, who was guarding the general’s manor. However, Ling Lan knew that even if Mu Shui-qing discovered her presence, he wouldn’t do anything as long as she didn’t have any malice towards the people in the general’s manor.
Ling Xiao’s disappearance was enough to disappoint Mu Shui-qing in the Federation. That was why he wouldn’t be alerting the military headquarters if an imperial realm formidable warrior appeared on Planet General.
In the general’s manor, the originally dry air became somewhat humid. Of course, this degree of change was too hard to detect, unless it was someone who was extremely sensitive to humidity. Otherwise, no one would be able to tell the difference.
Mu Shui-qing, who had been in garden watering plants, suddenly raised his head and frowned. In the next second, he disappeared from where he stood.
In the corridor to the study room, a large hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and ruthlessly grabbed an area of empty air.
Suddenly, a light screen shattered and in the next second a black cloaked individual appeared out of thin air.
“Who are you?” The large hand ruthlessly ripped open the dimension and Mu Shui-qing stepped out from the opening.
“Master, long time no see,” Ling Lan raised her head.
Mu Shui-qing stared at her with a cold look on his face. He grabbed Ling Lan and said, “Follow me.”
Ling Lan didn’t resist and before she knew it she was taken to the backyard by Mu Shui-qing.
“What are you doing here?” asked Mu Shui-qing.
“Something happened to my father. I wanted to see my mother to check if she is safe. That way I will be able to leave without worrying too much,” Ling Lan said respectfully.
“The entire general’s manor, other than here, isn’t safe,” said Mu Shui-qing in a dark tone.
How could the military headquarters just let the general’s manor off the hook? This was a place that Ling Lan would definitely appear. The military headquarters didn’t dare to do anything to the holy place Mu Shui-qing stayed at. This was why Mu Shui-qing instantly grabbed Ling Lan and pulled her to this location.
“The military headquarters really don’t care about saving face anymore. After shamelessly plotting against my father, they still used every method they could think of to steal what’s his.” A hint of mockery was shown on Ling Lan’s face. She already knew that the general’s manor would be monitored, but didn’t expect they would even monitor the insides of the manor.
