Chapter 256 The Princess's Knight
He frowned coldly.
Clean up? Seriously?
I initially thought the divine messenger would at most strip the Other Shore Flower of her military command on Storm Star and send her to the laboratory. After all, she was one of the four high priests and a key figure in promoting the Holy Water and the Divine Gift Project; she shouldn't have been executed so easily.
Furthermore, why bring Hua Xue along? Shouldn't she be the only successful case of the Divine Gift Project? Is the Divine Envoy just going to give up the power of the Spirit Eye like this?
Or is there... some reason that forces you to give up?
A voice suddenly came from the quantum computer.
"What are you thinking about, Judge?"
The video call automatically started, and a projection of Meimeng, wearing a mask with auspicious cloud patterns and dressed in priest's robes, appeared behind Leng Ran.
"Let me guess, you want to know why the divine messenger gave such an order?" Meimeng said leisurely. "You wouldn't be showing them mercy, would you, Judge?"
"I'm only responsible for following orders." She turned around coldly, glancing at Meimeng. "Such a rude person showing up uninvited."
Meimeng wasn't angry: "Since Xiao Moli is so heartless, I'm still your 'partner.' It's perfectly reasonable for me to come and visit you, isn't it?"
Leng Ran didn't want to talk to him any longer: "Tell me the time, place, and action plan. I'll carry out the rest."
Mei Meng clapped her hands lightly: "As expected of my personally trained student, your execution ability is as strong as ever."
From a cold and detached perspective, after Meimeng raised her hand and entered some commands, her personal computer received a new message. Upon clicking on it, she found a very detailed battle plan, with recommended routes, assassination methods, and so on all listed.
In addition, there is a real-time map.
The map clearly marks the location of each target. Most of the red dots are concentrated in the abandoned factory that Leng Ran and Zhao Yuheng had visited, while a few red dots are distributed in other districts. The last two red dots are in the Storm Star Research Institute.
His cold gaze sharpened: "From the time Father gave the order until now, only two minutes have passed. How did you come up with such a detailed plan?"
The mask concealed Mei Meng's expression: "What do you think?"
"You knew about Father's decision regarding the Spider Lily all along?" Leng Ran looked up from the plan. "Or rather, you pushed for the verdict against the Spider Lily? The breakthrough point... was Flower Snow?"
“Being too smart isn’t good, Mo Li.” Mei Meng gestured for silence. “After this matter is settled, I’d like to discuss a collaboration with you.”
Was approaching her alone to collaborate? Was this a test of her loyalty, or had Mei Meng truly begun to harbor ulterior motives?
Seeing that Leng Ran didn't answer, Mei Meng added fuel to the fire: "The things that were lost at the auction are all in your hands, aren't they?"
He remained calm and composed: "I do hope it's with me. I will definitely find the Blade of the Free Alliance."
Whether this was a test from the Illuminati or not, she had to firmly pin the blame on the blade so as not to give Mei Meng any leverage.
Even if they had some doubts, they didn't have any concrete evidence. Otherwise, what awaited her now wouldn't be a beautiful dream, but a warrant for her arrest.
"Oh, good luck then. Take action when it gets dark, and remember to bring your body camera and miniature earpiece. I'll be there to 'assist' you."
After the video call ended, Mei Meng disappeared, and Leng Ran carefully put away the Illuminati's quantum computer and returned it to the safe.
He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Under the guise of providing assistance, their true purpose is to track and monitor. It seems that to completely shatter this illusion, we need to find a way to "accidentally" break these devices.
A faint knock sounded on the bedroom door.
"Your Highness, may I come in?"
"Come in." Leng Ran opened the door and looked at Yangguang Rabbit outside. "Yangguang, you heard me too. I'll go back to the He family to get my equipment first, then go find the Other Shore Flower. Wait for me..."
The projection of Yangon reappeared, and he suddenly interrupted, "Your Highness, I would like to go with you."
This was the first time Yangon hadn't listened to Leng Ran's entire statement.
She was somewhat surprised, but still refused: "It's too dangerous, Yangon. Your core chip is still in Mika's model. I might not be able to protect you."
No one knows if the spider lily has any tricks up its sleeve, or if it might launch a final counterattack before it dies. And Yangon... she doesn't want to lose him again.
“I won’t fight in my physical form. I can possess any electronic device, which might help you temporarily shield yourself from Mei Meng’s surveillance.” A pleading look flashed in Yang Guang’s eyes. “You will no longer face danger alone, Your Highness. Please let me be your knight.”
"I don't want to watch you leave alone again and again, powerless to stop it. This time, I want to fight alongside you!"
Leng Ran seemed moved: "Yangon..."
Over the years, she has shouldered a heavy mission and moved forward without stopping, but she has forgotten that there are always people waiting for her to come home.
Every time she left, it was an ordeal for Yangon. Every "Wait for me to come back" could be the final farewell.
But from today onwards, everything will be different.
They will never be separated again.
Leng Ran made up her mind and extended her hand to Yangon: "Okay, let's go together then."
In Yangon's eyes, it seemed as if tiny stars were shining.
Under the warm lights, she smiled brightly: "Welcome to the team, my Yangon Knights."
