Chapter Summary
They might kill his disciple, or even his son, and he wouldn't say another word. Don't pretend to be a good guy now; you probably couldn't have resisted back then either." Lin Lei's words amused Liu Ning. Even if someone was worth hundreds of millions, they would still take the train if they could, and no one would choose to fly because plane tickets were simply too expensive.
Liu Ning was starting to have some doubts. He respected this person deeply. If it were someone utterly wicked, he wouldn't say a word even if he offended them. They might kill his disciple, or even his son, and he wouldn't say another word. But this person was different. Liu Ning had always admired those who contributed to humanity, but this guy's contributions were even greater than Old Master Wang's. Liu Ning was now in a dilemma. Should he kill this person because of his own situation? Although the other party was a mentalist, Liu Ning had considered the worst-case scenario. If the other party really wanted to avenge Shangguan, Liu Ning would definitely resist. He couldn't just refrain from resisting because he admired him; there was no such logic in the world.
“You know all about these things, and you're different from me. Why didn't you remind me before? Now it seems we were too reckless. Of course, we absolutely don't regret it in our hearts, but this is still a troublesome matter. If Commander Lang really wants to investigate, we'll be on the opposite side of such a person. Don't you think that's going too far? Besides, he has made such a great contribution to human society. We can't just team up to cheat him, can we? It wouldn't be right in our conscience.”
At this point, Liu Ning started blaming Lin Lei. "Why didn't you blame him when you took action?" he asked. "Back then, we both thought Shangguan Bao wasn't a good person, and then that incident happened. So we just couldn't control our tempers, and it was only a matter of time before we attacked Shangguan Bao. Now you're blaming Lin Lei for this." Lin Lei could only smile wryly and helplessly. "We both got into this together. Even if Wolf Commander wants to investigate, we'll have to be honest. After all, these two aren't ordinary people."
"You've wronged me about this. If Zhao Wudi hadn't told me, how could I have known such confidential information? You know the world; those psychic masters don't reveal the identities of their disciples and masters. If they do, it means they're not afraid of either of them. For example, the Second Speaker and Zhao Wudi have already reached the pinnacle of human society, so naturally they're not afraid of this. Wolf Commander and Shangguan Bao haven't reached that level yet, so they haven't made it public. Besides, could we have tolerated it in that situation? You didn't give me time to think before you attacked. Even if I had told you then, would you have spared him for that reason? Don't think I don't know who you are. Don't pretend to be a good guy now; you probably couldn't have resisted back then either."
Lin Lei's words amused Liu Ning. Liu Ning was definitely that kind of person. Besides, in that situation, could he really let Shangguan Bao off the hook? Your master is your master. Even if your master has made great contributions to all of humanity, if you do something so heinous, it has nothing to do with you. You will be punished as you should be. If you were strong enough, you might even have robbed Liu Ning and the other person. Don't think that such a thing won't happen. This Shangguan Bao has no bottom line when it comes to doing things.
The two of them discussed it for a long time without reaching a conclusion, so they decided to go back to sleep and let it go. Could you really be so anxious about this all the time? Even if you are, they will still investigate and carry out their work. They can't stop because you're worried. There's no such thing as a free lunch. That's why we mustn't panic. Just go about your business. We can't control what they think. The principle is simple: deal with whatever comes our way. Let's see what they think.
The two didn't sleep well that night, only falling asleep just as dawn was breaking. After all, what had happened made it seem heartless to fall asleep immediately. When they woke up the next morning, they sensed that the situation outside was different. They recognized the people standing there yesterday—either from the Shangguan family or those brought by Zhao Wudi. But today, these people were clearly different; they were all wearing military uniforms, and their movements were exactly like those of soldiers. Liu Ning then understood that it must be the Wolf Commander who had come. After all, it was his disciple who had died. Even if he wasn't a mentalist, he had to send someone to check on him. Otherwise, he would seem too cold-hearted. But to investigate the matter personally would be a waste of his talents.
“What’s meant to come will come eventually. No matter what we think, he’s still here. I think you should put on your uniform. Maybe you can go over and try to get on his good side. You two are both in the military. Even though his rank is higher than yours, you’re not someone to be trifled with. Maybe you can get some information out of him. At least we’ll know what he’s going to do next. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. I think you understand this principle much better than I do!”
Lin Lei also came over from behind. This guy even gave Liu Ning an idea, but Liu Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at the soldiers outside. Judging from their physique, these soldiers were indeed much stronger than those in other military regions. Moreover, Liu Ning discovered another problem: all of these people were low-ranking soldiers. In an army, there were so many strong soldiers at the level of warriors. This was definitely not something that ordinary armies could compare to. At least Liu Ning had not seen this in other armies. This was indeed quite surprising.
The fact that they arrived so quickly made the two realize that they must have all come by plane. Liu Ning knew better than anyone how expensive a plane ticket was. Even if someone was worth hundreds of millions, they would still take the train if they could, and no one would choose to fly because plane tickets were simply too expensive. But these people didn't consider this at all and came directly with Wolf Commander. This also showed Wolf Commander's determination to find out who was behind it all.
This feels like a storm is brewing; it seems this matter won't be easy to resolve.
