Chapter 1235 I’m Your Father!
“I see.” Qi Yaoyang was experienced enough to know what Ling Lan’s plan was. “One in the light, one in the dark. This is a good plan.”
“I just want to know if you really annihilated the imperial mecha team.”
Qi Yaoyang went directly to the point.
“Isn’t it just an imperial mecha team? Nothing is impossible for Lingtian,” Qi Long raised his head proudly and replied.
“Don’t be so arrogant, little brat. Tell me, how did you do it?” Qi Yaoyang knew that only the brigade leaders and vice leaders were given imperial mechas. It meant that there were at most around 40 imperial mechas in Lingtian. In the report, there were more than a hundred imperial mechas on their enemy’s side. It would be impossible to defeat their opponent with just 40 imperial mechas. There must be some other secret factor.
Qi Long shook his head hurriedly. “This is Lingtian’s secret. I can’t tell you.”
“Damn it. I’m your father.” Qi Yaoyang was furious.
“I’m a soldier of Lingtian first before being your son. Even if you’re my father, I can’t tell you.” Qi Long didn’t give his father any respect.
Qi Long’s attitude angered Qi Yaoyang. He flared up. “Stupid brat, I’m your superior too. I’m the general of the 13th division.”
“I’m under my Boss, Lieutenant General Ling Lan. I’m not under you, old man.” Qi Long wasn’t afraid of his father.
“You’ve gotten bolder, little brat. Are you looking for a beating?” Qi Yaoyang stood up and appeared in front of Qi Long. He grabbed his collar, preparing to teach this brat a lesson.
Damn it, why was Ling Xiao so fortunate? His son was strong, smart, and obedient. If Ling Lan caused any trouble, it was because he was too outstanding.
He was so envious when Ling Xiao flaunted his son’s achievements in front of him. His eldest and second eldest son were obedient but their potential was average. They would at most be a senior colonel under his protection. His youngest son was talented but his results had nothing to do with him. Ever since he was six years old, he felt that Qi Long was like Ling Xiao’s son, not his.
Qi Yaoyang was infuriated when he thought about this. Ling Xiao already had an outstanding son. Why did he still want to lure his son?
Qi Yaoyang chose to forget the point that his son was the one who wanted to join Ling Lan’s team. He felt that he might vomit blood if he acknowledged this point.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong reacted quickly when they saw this. “General, calm down.”
With the help of Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi, Qi Long managed to slip away from Qi Yaoyang’s grasp.
When Qi Long was released from his father’s grasp, he quickly dashed three meters away from Qi Yaoyang and arranged his collar. “Father, General Qi, I’m part of the Lingtian Independent Army now. If you want to punish me, you must ask my Boss first. Don’t act beyond your authority.”
“Acting beyond my authority? I’m your father. Why can’t I reprimand my son?” Qi Yaoyang’s anger was sparked again.
“General, general, please calm down.” This time, even Qi Yaoyang’s deputy and advisers came to console him. They couldn’t let the father and son pair start a fight here.
“Qi Long, be quiet.” The other brigade leaders of Lingtian persuaded Qi Long too.
In the Qi family, Qi Long’s mother would mediate their argument so they wouldn’t quarrel so furiously. If Mother Qi wasn’t around, Ling Lan was able to suppress Qi Long. Now that both of them weren’t present, the argument between the father and son went out of control.
Qi Long felt that it was unnecessary to quarrel with his father too so he pretended to zip his mouth with his hand.
He went to a corner and sat down quietly. He decided to remove himself from his father’s vision so that he wouldn’t anger his father further.
Qi Yaoyang scoffed and ignored his son. If his son didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t be angry either.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong heaved sighs of relief secretly. They managed to evade a crisis. Yang Mingzhi looked at Qi Yaoyang apologetically and said, “General, just like what Leader Qi said, this matter concerns the secret of Lingtian. We don’t have the right to answer you. If you want to know, you can ask our commander when you meet him.”
“Forget it. I know that you won’t tell me without Ling Lan’s approval.” Qi Yaoyang felt helpless but he approved of their secrecy.
“Maybe I can ask General Ling Xiao. It might be easier.” Qi Yaoyang smiled.
“Indeed,” Yang Mingzhi replied.
What General Ling said had nothing to do with them.
Qi Yaoyang asked about the logos and serial numbers of the imperial mechas from Twilight. He also asked about the condition of the three major generals of the transport ships. Before leaving, he walked to the mainframe of Destruction Devil and patted it lightly. “How are the Destruction Devils doing?”
“It’s better than most battleships, especially its agility and speed. However, when it is surrounded by imperial mechas, there’s nothing much it could do. At most, it just lasts longer than the average starship,” Yang Mingzhi replied.
“That means it’s still quite useless,” Qi Yaoyang pondered as he spoke.
Yang Mingzhi didn’t reply to him. Qi Yaoyang could say that they were useless but he couldn’t.
The other Destruction Devil might be useless but the Destruction Devil Qi Yaoyang was patting was different. It was able to fend off against many imperial mechas due to the presence of a superior mainframe. There were only two mainframes like this in the Lingtian Independent Army. Both were created by their commander. However, just like the modified mechas, they were a secret. No one should know about it, not even Qi Long’s father.
