Chapter 358 Lianfeng's Concerns
Chapter 358 Lianfeng's Concerns
……
On Skyblade 7, several representatives of the Super Soldier Squad are currently sitting in the conference hall having a meeting.
Needless to say, Ge Xiaolun told Lianfeng the news that Mu Xingchen had been arrested.
Therefore, Lianfeng "overnight" summoned several key figures from the Super Soldier Squad for a meeting.
As for why not all of them, it's because Ge Xiaolun didn't dare let Qi Lin know that Mu Xingchen was in trouble.
After all, he returned unharmed, but his brother was captured by the Demon Queen.
He was too ashamed to face Qilin.
Therefore, he still wanted to delay the matter as much as possible, so that Qilin would find out later.
It would be best to keep Qi Lin from knowing about this until Mu Xingchen is rescued.
Lianfeng agreed with Ge Xiaolun's idea and didn't make a big deal out of it.
They simply called a few important people over for a meeting to discuss rescuing Mu Xingchen.
"What's the point of discussing this? Chenzi's been captured! Let's hurry and rescue him!"
When Liu Chuang learned that his brother had been captured by the devil, he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Aren't we discussing how to save them right now? At a time like this, can you please stop stirring up trouble? It's so frustrating."
Seeing Liu Chuang like this, Ge Xiaolun felt even worse.
"Who started this?! We have this Skyblade, let's drive over and take it down!"
Liu Chuang was extremely anxious at this moment, and he was speaking without thinking.
"It's not that easy! You think this is some kind of battle? This is Morgana! A demon! Whether we can even find Skyblade is another matter entirely."
Seeing Liu Chuang's reckless attitude, Ge Xiaolun gave him a good scolding.
"Xiao Lun is right. Demon One has been hiding all along. As long as it doesn't actively reveal its location, it's almost impossible for us to find it."
At this moment, Zhixin also spoke up.
It implies an attempt to vindicate Ge Xiaolun.
"We have to go and rescue them! We can't just sit here and do nothing, can we?"
Zhao Xin, unusually, did not agree with his wife.
Because his brother was captured by the devil, he might suffer some kind of torture.
He is in a hurry!
"Exactly! Who knows what Morgana might do to Chenzi right now? The longer we drag this out, the more dangerous it will be for Chenzi! We need to act quickly and not waste any time!"
Liu Chuang said something to Zhao Xin, his face full of impatience.
"Lena, what do you think?"
Seeing that they were all in a panic, Lianfeng turned her gaze to the silent captain of the Super Soldier Company.
"I find it strange that Xingchen was captured by Morgana, but Xiaolun came back unharmed?"
Unlike Liu Chuang and the others, Lena remained calm.
It's not that she's truly given up on someone and doesn't care about his safety anymore.
However, as the captain of the Super Soldier Company, she had to remain calm, especially in times of crisis.
She cannot afford to lose her composure like her teammates.
"No, Sister Na, what do you mean? You mean I sold Chenzi to Morgana?"
Hearing that Lena seemed to be implying something, Ge Xiaolun couldn't stand it anymore.
He stood up from his chair and retorted.
"Who knows? Anyway, you're back safe and sound."
Before Lena could speak, Liu Chuang interrupted.
His tone was full of displeasure towards Ge Xiaolun.
Of course, he didn't really believe that his brother had been sold to the devil by Ge Xiaolun.
He was furious that Ge Xiaolun hadn't stood by Chenzi through thick and thin, but instead had slunk back alone.
Isn't this a departure from the military's principle of "never abandoning or giving up"?
"Hey, you bastard, don't you dare cause trouble! I'm not in the mood to yell at you right now!"
Seeing Liu Chuang so wrongly accuse him, Ge Xiaolun instantly lost his composure.
He even reached out and pushed Liu Chuang, who was standing next to him!
"I'm here to talk to your mother! If Chenzi and I went out today, it's either we both come back together, or we both die there! And you, you just watched Chenzi get caught while you ran away alone, didn't you?"
Liu Chuang is currently in a bad mood, and he's not only speaking recklessly.
He even returned the favor by shoving Ge Xiaolun twice over!
"Fuck you! What do you know! I didn't run away! Morgana used a wormhole to escape and I couldn't catch up! I didn't desert!"
After being scolded like that by Liu Chuang, Ge Xiaolun broke down completely.
His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Liu Chuang.
It's like they're about to suddenly attack someone at any moment!
"Quiet down, everyone!! What's all the noise about!"
Seeing that they looked like they were about to start fighting, Lianfeng slammed her hand on the table and sternly stopped them.
"..."X2
After Lianfeng's shout, Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang fell silent.
Both of them obediently sat back down in their chairs.
At this moment, Lena spoke again.
"Xiao Lun, I wasn't doubting you just now. I was wondering if Morgana's real target wasn't our Super Soldier Squad, since she only captured Xingchen?"
Lena knew very well that Mu Xingchen had a master from the void behind him.
Furthermore, that person had even teamed up with Morgana to fight the former Angel Queen.
She felt that Morgana's purpose in kidnapping Mu Xingchen was definitely not pure.
If he really wanted to mess with their Super Soldier Corps, Ge Xiaolun wouldn't have been able to return unscathed.
“That’s right, I also suspect that. Xiao Lun was there at the time. If Morgana really wanted to destroy the Super Soldier Squad, she wouldn’t have let Xiao Lun come back.”
Lianfeng nodded, agreeing with Lena's idea.
"If she wasn't targeting our Super Soldier Corps, then why did Morgana capture Chenzi? Was she trying to use Chenzi to blackmail his two masters?"
Reminded by Lena and Lianfeng, Zhao Xin suddenly remembered Feng and Jie on the Sky Blade.
So it was brought up.
"That's possible, but Morgana's target shouldn't be those two on the Skyblade. They might not even know Morgana. However, Mu Xingchen's other master was once Morgana's ally."
After speaking, Lena turned her gaze toward Zhixin.
It's clearly implying something.
Seeing Lena looking at her, Zhixin pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.
Of course she knew what Lena meant.
After all, Mu Xingchen's master helped Morgana destroy their Queen Keisha.
Everyone here is well aware of this matter.
"What do we do then? We can't get in touch with Carlos either."
Liu Chuang shrugged, unsure of what to do.
"How about we tell those two on Tianren about Chenzi's capture? Let them think of something?"
At this moment, Zhao Xin added something else.
The main problem is that their abilities are really limited, so they can only place their hopes on those two senior figures.
"Master Xin is right, they definitely have more ideas than we do."
Ge Xiaolun thought Zhao Xin's suggestion was good and readily agreed.
"Lena, could you use your connections within the Lieyang organization to try and rescue her?"
Lianfeng did not directly agree with Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin's ideas.
Because Mu Xingchen was almost beaten to death by Hua Ye last time, it took her more than half a month to recover.
Those two seemed to be angry about this as well.
If they find out that it was their apprentice who got into trouble again.
She was afraid those two would "blame" their Super Soldier Squad.
"If it were me personally, I would be very willing to save Xingchen, but if I were to bring Lieyang along, firstly, Lieyang values peace and prosperity for the nation. Morgana doesn't provoke us, and we won't provoke her either. Moreover, Lieyang has no connection with the demons, so it's impossible to get her back with just a word."
Hearing Lianfeng say that, Lena could only explain to "her" that their Lieyang was a "neutral" unit.
Besides, she really didn't have the ability (power) to order that stubborn old man Pan Zhen around.
"Commander, why don't we just have Chenzi's master rescue them? Why do we need Sister Na to pull strings?"
Zhao Xin couldn't quite understand what Chief Lianfeng meant.
Asked directly.
After all, they now have a "shortcut" to save lives, so why go through the long detour?
"Yes, Chief, why don't we just have those two on Skyblade contact Carlos and have him rescue Chenzi?"
Ge Xiaolun also couldn't quite understand why Lianfeng was making such a complicated scene.
The way he looked at her was a little strange.
"This one……"
Lianfeng stammered, unsure of what to say.
"Sir, just say what you want to say. What's wrong?"
Seeing that Lianfeng couldn't speak clearly, Liu Chuang was also puzzled.
"If Morgana kidnapped Mu to blackmail his master, then he won't be in any trouble anytime soon. I suggest we take this matter seriously and not make a hasty decision."
Finally, Lianfeng revealed her thoughts.
It wasn't that she didn't care about Mu Xingchen's safety; she was just gambling that Carlos would go to save him.
Morgana kidnapped Mu Xingchen most likely to blackmail Carlos.
In that case, Morgana will definitely contact Carlos to exchange him for "ransom".
If Carlos can rescue the person without alerting the other two, he should do so.
That would be a win-win situation for everyone.
And they wouldn't have to be "blamed" by those two for not taking good care of them.
The main problem is that it always gets their apprentices into trouble, while the rest of the Super Soldier Squad remains completely unscathed.
That's really a bit unreasonable.
"Huh? No, we're not going to save Chenzi?"
Zhao Xin understood Lianfeng's implied meaning and became agitated.
"Commander, why do we need to think this through so slowly? We don't need to rescue Chenzi right now, we can just inform his master!"
Ge Xiaolun strongly disagreed with Gui Kefeng's idea and immediately retorted loudly.
"That's right, we don't even have to lift a finger, so why don't we take care of Chenzi?"
Liu Chuang was also unhappy at this moment, and stood up from his chair again.
"..."
Zhi Xin didn't interrupt, but instead looked towards Lian Feng.
"Commander, are you gambling that Carlos will save people first?"
Lena seemed to have seen through Lianfeng's intentions, so she tentatively asked a question.
“That’s right. Since Morgana kidnapped Mu to blackmail Carlos, she will definitely try to contact Carlos and send something to ransom Mu.”
Lianfeng nodded, her eyes filled with a hint of relief as she looked at Lena.
After all, among so many people, their Super Soldier Company's captain is the one with some brains.
Unlike others, who only know how to panic when something happens.
"Shouldn't we notify them too?"
Zhao Xin still didn't approve of Ke Lianfeng's reckless behavior, so he retorted again.
"Yeah, we can't just pretend we don't know Chenzi was arrested, can we?"
When Liu Chuang saw Zhao Xin speak up, he also started complaining.
"Xiao Mu was already seriously injured when we attacked Taotie in space last time, and now he's been captured by Morgana. He's always the one who gets into trouble. What do you think his two masters will think? Do you think our Super Soldier Squad is bullying him? Always putting Xiao Mu in dangerous situations?"
Seeing that Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang insisted on doing that "meaningless" thing, Lianfeng frowned and said a few words.
She didn't want to be disliked for no reason.
She was hoping that those two could "somewhat" protect the Earth in the future.
In particular, he helped them resist that evil god leader, Hua Ye.
She knew very well that the two men had the ability to defeat Hua Ye, or even kill him.
She only wanted to win people over, not offend them, and even less did she want to be disliked.
Reminded by Lianfeng, Zhao Xin scratched his head and remained silent.
After all, he only injured his arm that time, unlike Chenzi who had nerve damage and had to be hospitalized for recuperation.
Compared to his physical injuries, his brother's injuries were indeed more serious.
Perhaps feeling that Lianfeng's words made sense, Liu Chuang didn't refute anything further.
He sat back down in his chair.
"That's true. Chenzi is always the first to rush in whenever something happens. If it happens too often, something bad is bound to happen, sigh."
At this moment, Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but sigh.
Because his brothers basically didn't miss any of the major or minor battles of their Super Soldier Company.
They've become so reliant on playing forward that they're starting to depend on it.
Sometimes I think about it and I really feel bad for "him".
"Chief Lianfeng is right. Since Xingchen is alright and people are eager to rescue her, it's best if we try not to annoy anyone."
Lena could understand Lianfeng's thoughts.
If the Super Soldier Company continued to have her, as the battalion commander, as the vanguard, it eventually led to an accident.
Then they, Lieyang, will definitely hold Earth and the Super Soldier Company accountable.
Mu Xingchen's master is currently on the Heavenly Blade.
If people hold them accountable, they'll really have a hard time explaining themselves.
"That's exactly what I mean. Morgana will definitely contact Carlos to ransom her anyway, so there's no need for us to rush. Rushing won't help."
Lianfeng nodded, feeling that Lena had hit the nail on the head.
"So we're just going to keep this a secret?"
Liu Chuang asked again.
He seemed to still feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, Chief, what if Qi Lin asks why Chen Zi didn't come back with Xiao Lun? What should we say?"
Zhao Xin glanced at his wife first, then instantly thought of Qi Lin.
After all, how could Qi Lin not ask about the sudden loss of her bedmate?
"Let's keep this a secret for as long as possible. I reckon Morgana will contact Mu's master soon to ransom him."
Lianfeng didn't have a better solution at the moment.
We can only place our hopes on Carlos.
Ge Xiaolun remained silent, probably also struggling with this matter in his mind.
He mainly felt sorry for Qilin.
He was the one who took the person away, but he came back on his own.
They returned safely.
How can Qi Lin think of him?
Ugh, this is tough.
"That's all for now, meeting adjourned. Everyone keep your mouths shut, especially don't let Xiao Mu's two masters know about this."
Seeing that none of them were saying anything, Lianfeng prepared to let everyone go back to rest.
No one said anything more, and they all got up and left the conference room.
Everyone looked rather grim when they left.
Especially Zhao Xin, Liu Chuang, and Ge Xiaolun.
The three of them walked away with their faces practically hanging low.
Only Lena and Zhixin are slightly better off.
In any case, Mu Xingchen's incident was a significant blow to all of them.
