"Company Commander Duan..."
"People say, before ambitions are realized, they shouldn’t be exposed."
"That doesn’t count as exposing since no one besides me would believe it."
Company Commander Duan’s face showed no expression, still that fierce-looking one; he spoke with such certainty that Song Lili had no grounds to argue.
Song Lili, looking up, gave Duan Chen a beaming smile, "Thank you for not laughing at me."
"Keep it up, Tang Xiaohua."
Keep it up, Song Lili...
Duan Chen strode off, visited Anlin, met Mayor Song, and by some fluke, saw the Mayor’s family portrait.
Lu Ziqing didn’t let him intervene, and he hadn’t thought about getting involved either.
But upon discovery, he did a check.
It turned out Song Lili didn’t want her parents to know she went to Xilin to apply for military school, so she used someone else’s name...
Duan Chen was impressed.
Looking at a young girl full of schemes.
He could guarantee, the Song Lili in Mayor Song’s eyes and the one before him were completely different.
This young woman, had many secrets unknown to others.
Just because she knew Duan Shen, could easily tell him apart from Duan Shen, and dismantle the miniature electronic bomb invented by Duan Shen.
He, an outsider, naturally wouldn’t puncture her lie to her parents.
On the contrary, he was quite anticipating what this young woman would become in Xilin.
Duan Chen walked away.
Song Lili also felt a bit hungry now, just as she was about to stand up, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from behind her!
She turned around, and a girl with both arms out pushed Song Lili hard!
Fortunately, there was a tree behind her; her back hit the tree, it was somewhat painful.
She looked at the girl, exactly the one who had been allowed to drink water by the instructor during drill practice.
"My name is Lin Xinglan! My father is Lin Han!"
Song Lili searched her mind for the name, looking at Lin Xinglan with suspicion,
"Is it Mayor Lin Han of Xilin City?"
Song Lili remembered this person, when Wen Nian was re-elected for the third term as President, Lin Han was involved in a huge corruption scandal, and his final outcome was not good.
So the person before her, acting high and mighty, putting on airs like a young lady, was...
"You’re the mayor’s daughter?"
As soon as Lin Xinglan finished speaking, Song Lili let out a "tsk tsk," her gaze shifted to a somewhat sympathetic one looking at Lin Xinglan.
"What’s with that look! I’m the daughter of the mayor, not the daughter of a beggar, okay!"
Song Lili quickly averted her gaze, hurriedly saying,
"So... what’s the reason for Lin Xinglan suddenly being so aggressive and pushing me?"
"I’m asking you! What’s your relationship with him!"
Lin Xinglan, sweet-looking with eyes wide and pouting lips, looked like an angry doll.
Song Lili followed her gaze and saw only Duan Chen’s retreating figure.
Lin Xinglan still frowned, pointing at Song Lili and threatened,
"I’m telling you, no matter what your relationship with him is, from now on, you can’t have any!"
Song Lili rolled her eyes, not wanting to deal with her, waved her hand, and walked away, "I didn’t hear anything."
"Tang Xiaohua, you dare to talk to me , you will suffer a miserable death!"
These words coming out of Lin Xinglan’s mouth, Song Lili found them to be very dramatic.
Little did she know, the events that followed, not one was without drama.
