Chapter 844: Encounter with the Lively and Lovely Li Lanhua!
"What do you want to do?" Catherine Glass asked impatiently when she saw that there were only three of them in the elevator going downstairs.
Although Catherine Glass was quite innocent, she grew up in the Presidential Palace and later joined the New Unified Army Staff. She had seen a lot and was naturally not a real novice.
At first, she didn't think that Yang Hui and the Promise Corps were just looking for a home. Later, Howard Glass informed Catherine Glass that she wanted her to serve as an assistant to Yang Hui and others, cooperate with the Promise Corps to enter the core political circle of the 25th Fleet, and even handed over the command of the entire New Unified Army to Yang Hui, which further confirmed her guess.
Then, in the casual chat over coffee, they talked about LAI Company, and now they have sent a meeting invitation to SMS Company, which made Catherine Glass firmly believe that Yang Hui had other purposes.
"Of course, it is to control the 25th Fleet." Yang Hui raised the corner of his mouth without any concealment.
"Sure enough! Your goal is the 25th Fleet! I will never let you succeed..."
"Tsk tsk, Miss Glass, do you think your father doesn't know?" Yang Hui laughed and shook his head.
"What..."
"Don't underestimate your father. After all, he has been the president for so many years. If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be alive now."
"But... why? Even if we need your power to protect the 25th Fleet, we can continue to maintain the cooperative relationship. Why does my father let you go?" Catherine Glass was puzzled.
"The New Unified Government is not our only choice. Don't forget that there is also LAI Company. We have obtained the technology of the new era, especially the FOLD jump technology. Guess what we will do?"
"This..."
"We can leave at any time. You treat us as tools and cannon fodder instead of treating us as family. Naturally, this is not the home we are looking for. Why do we continue to stay here instead of looking for a new place to return to?" Yang Hui asked Catherine Glass.
"..."
"Especially your boyfriend, let's not talk about the unpleasantness at the beginning, but you should know a little about how many small actions he did in secret later?"
"..."Catherine Glass was silent. She knew some of Leon Mishima's ideas, but she didn't really agree with them. In her opinion, even if she couldn't completely accept the Promise Legion, as a powerful helper, she shouldn't deteriorate the relationship with them.
But she had no choice. Howard Glass also agreed at the time, and her own opinion was rejected.
"But... the distance between the fleets is very far, some fleets have also lost contact, and some fleets are quite exclusive. Do you really dare to risk leaving the 25 fleets again? Also, your supplies are not enough, right?" Catherine Glass continued to ask.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if the fleet doesn't accept us, there are other colonies, right? If that doesn't work, we can just treat it as a mobile fleet and buy supplies directly. Maybe... we can find a colony planet suitable for human survival?"
"..."
"Then what about LAI and SMS? If you just want to integrate into the 25th Fleet, you have already done it. You don't have to deal with LAI and SMS at all." Catherine Glass asked. LAI and SMS have a very special status in the 25th Fleet. The former is the leading military-industrial enterprise in the entire human civilization, and the latter is the strongest private force in the 25th Fleet. If either one is not handled well, it will cause great disputes.
"Will you redecorate your new home after moving? Do you like living with strangers?"
"Of course! Of course not!" Catherine Glass answered subconsciously, and after answering, she was stunned.
Yang Hui and Wang Liumei smiled but said nothing. This was their answer. Since the 25th Fleet became their new home, they would definitely decorate and arrange it according to their own ideas. Moreover, for co-tenants like LAI and SMS, they would either get rid of them or become their own people. There was no third choice.
"Aren't you afraid of causing disputes? Neither LAI nor SMS is easy to deal with."
"SMS is very simple. Since it is a mercenary company, I will just hire them at a high price, and it is a full-time employment. As for LAI... It is thousands of light years away, and it is out of reach for what it wants to do, so I only need to deal with Adrian Angelo."
"But... what if the Earth headquarters makes trouble and wants to take action against the 25th Fleet?"
"I think you are thinking too far ahead, Miss Glass." Wang Liumei said to Catherine Glass with a smile on her face.
"Eh?"
"Which do you think is a bigger threat, LAI or Vajra?"
"Of course Vajra!" There is no need to think about it. One is a large enterprise under human civilization, and the other is a race that dominates the universe. There is no comparison at all.
"So, the 25th fleet is still under the threat of Vajra. What we should worry about now is whether we can survive the threat of Vajra, and then other things."
"...But I won't let you do whatever you want." Catherine Glass still made up her mind and said to Yang Hui and Wang Liumei.
"For your boyfriend?" Wang Liumei asked jokingly, with a hint of disgust and disdain in her eyes. In the past two days since she came to the 25th Fleet, she and Cruze's [Scavenger] have already found out a lot of information. Some of Leon Mishima's tricks are not worthy of being on the table. They think they are too low-level.
And... a hypocritical face with a mushroom head is disgusting no matter how you look at it!
"No, it's for the 25th Fleet." Catherine Glass replied indignantly, but Yang Hui and Wang Liumei both noticed her hidden insincerity.
"Haha, to be honest, you really have a bad eye for people. Such a disgusting man can actually make you fall in love." Wang Liumei teased disdainfully. She also found out a lot of information about Catherine Glass, including the information that she and Ozma, the captain of the Skeleton Team, were ex-boyfriends and girlfriends.
From a woman's perspective, Ozma's tough soldier is much better than Leon Mishima's insidious mushroom head.
At worst... there are so many bachelors in the fleet, and any one of them is not comparable to Leon Mishima.
"Don't say that about Leon! He's just..."
Before Catherine Glass finished her words, the elevator arrived at the first floor. The topic they were arguing about was not for outsiders to hear, so Catherine Glass chose to shut up and didn't say anything more.
However, when the elevator door opened, Yang Hui ran into an acquaintance again.
"Is it you?"
"You are... Wait, what a familiar voice! You are the pilot of that fighter plane!"
Art, who was wearing a school uniform, and Li Lanhua, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, looked at Yang Hui in shock. They had never seen Yang Hui, but they would never forget the voice at that time. That was their savior.
"It's me. I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Yang Hui and the other two walked out of the elevator and took Art and Li Lanhua to stand in a corridor with few people.
"Thank you for saving us." Li Lanhua bowed to Yang Hui 90 degrees in surprise. At that time, she was too scared, and Yang Hui left too quickly, so she had no chance to thank him.
"It's my job, don't worry about it. Are you here to visit the patient?" Yang Hui waved his hand, telling her not to be so serious.
"Yes, Brother Killian was in the observation period a few days ago, and visitors were not allowed. Today I happened to be on vacation, so I came with classmate Art." Li Lanhua answered lively, and the hair on both sides fluttered like a mood reactor, which was very cute.
"Haha, then go quickly, your brother is here, and there are two classmates of Arte."
"Eh? Your brother is here too? Then we have to hurry..."
"Wait a minute, Lanhua." Arte held the anxious Li Lanhua speechlessly, "We don't know who the savior is yet."
"Ah! I forgot when I was excited." Li Lanhua covered her mouth in panic, bowed to Yang Hui again, and introduced herself, "Excuse me! I'm Li Lanhua, may I ask your name?"
"Saotome Arte, thank you for saving us at that time."
"It doesn't matter, my name is Yang Hui, and this is my wife Wang Liumei."
After that, Yang Hui and Wang Liumei planned to leave. They had done everything they needed to do in the hospital, and they didn't plan to stay here and chat. They still wanted to have a good date.
"Please wait a moment! Mr. Yang Hui, Mrs. Wang Liumei! Can I leave your contact information?" Li Lanhua asked quickly.
"Why?"
"My brother said that we must repay those who helped us! Mr. Yang Hui saved me, and I want to repay him. I work at [Niangniang], and I want to treat Mr. Yang Hui and Mrs. Wang Liumei to a meal. Although it is not a luxurious meal, it is... but it is really delicious!"
"[Niangniang]?" Yang Hui and Wang Liumei tilted their heads in confusion.
"Yes! [Niangniang]! [Niangniang], [Niangniang], hello meow, luxurious and delicious, Daddy Kalucha~!" The lively Li Lanhua sang and danced directly on the spot, which made Art a little helpless. She was like this when he first met Li Lanhua.
"Puff~Haha..." Yang Hui and Wang Liumei couldn't help laughing at Li Lanhua's lively and cute appearance. This girl was a little too lively and a little familiar.
"Is it really... strange?" Li Lanhua asked shyly and worriedly. She likes singing very much, so sometimes she will start singing directly regardless of the occasion and the people around her, and is often said to be strange.
"No, very cute." Wang Liumei replied with a smile. She was just laughing at Li Lanhua's liveliness and cuteness, without any intention of mocking or derogatory.
"Eh~!? Cute or something..." Li Lanhua's little face suddenly turned red, the blood rushed up, and the brain began to steam.
"Haha, what a cute girl." Wang Liumei walked over with a smile and handed her a business card, "This is my contact information, contact me when the time comes." Wang Liumei said.
"Really! That's great!" Li Lanhua took the business card and cheered.
"Haha, then we'll leave first, see you next time."
"Well, goodbye, Mr. Yang Hui! Goodbye, Mrs. Wang Liumei!"
Until Yang Hui and the other two walked away, Li Lanhua suddenly remembered something: "Eh? Isn't this the first time we met? How did he know about me and my brother?"
