Chapter 1145 It Won’t Work!
“Your relationship with your brother really is quite deep.” Ling Lan smirked as she leaned back on her chair. “It warms my heart. However, the more it’s like this, the more I want to watch your brother fall into despair because of you. Wouldn’t that be fun?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLing Lan was now oozing out an aura filled with merciless and evilness. She was completely unlike the warm-hearted and polite General Ling Xiao. Instead, she was like a demon that came from the depths of hell.
“As the commander-in-chief of the base, how could you falsely accuse someone who has nothing to do with all this without any evidence?” Zhang Han clenched his fists and held back his anger. He then remembered something and smiled coldly. “General Ling Xiao has always been a fair and upright individual. He’s a role model that our soldiers look up towards. So, Regiment Commander Ling won’t do anything that would make General Ling Xiao look bad, right?”.
“Are you trying to threaten me by just mentioning General Ling Xiao?” Ling Lan half-smiled and said, “Unfortunately, it won’t work. I just need to say that your brother is a spy and everyone will believe in me. Tell me, would Base Nebula believe me or you? The identity of Prince Ling is very helpful in this situation. It sure is enough to let me do anything that I want without anyone trying to stop me...”
After hearing Ling Lan’s words, Zhang Han’s somewhat brightened expression darkened once again. action
“You don’t have any chance at turning the tables around. Are you going to continue to work for those people and give up your brother’s life in the process or are you going to speak honestly. At least the latter, your brother would be able to live his life peacefully,” Ling Lan said calmly.
“Oh right, don’t you hate your older brother? You can always choose to not speak and I’ll help you get rid of him.” Ling Lan seemed to have thought of something, “It’s his fault for being an idiot who would bring spies to Lingtian’s doorsteps...”
After saying that, Ling Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Her eyes became cold and ruthless as the shapeless killing intent thickened. “He really is looking to die!”
Zhang Han’s eyes shrank back into his eye sockets as his eyes quivered in fear. He felt that Ling Lan wasn’t actually threatening him and was rather using this opportunity to kill Zhang Chao for real.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Han clenched his fist a few times before he finally spoke up, “If I spill everything, can you ensure that us brothers will be safe?”
Ling Lan replied indifferently, “You’re not qualified to make such demands with me. If you spill everything, you and your brother may have a chance to live. If you don’t say anything then you and your brother will definitely die. As for the information that I want, I would still be able to get it even if you tell me or don’t tell me. The difference is what method I would use to acquire it.”
Zhang Han knew Ling Lan was speaking the truth. When he entered Lingtian’s command center, he wasn’t even given the opportunity to struggle. In the end, he would have to give in to Ling Lan’s demands.
“Alright. I will tell you what I know. I don’t care if I die, but I want you to please keep my brother alive.” Zhang Han raised his head and looked towards Ling Lan. His eyes had a pleading look for his brother.
“That would depend on what you say and whether it’s worth it for me to do something for your brother,” Ling Lan replied coldly.
Zhang Han knew that this was the final thing he could do for his older brother before he would die in the hands of Lingtian. Back then when he was still young and naive, in order to become strong, he trusted the wrong person and walked down the wrong path. In the end, he got so deeply involved that he could not get out no matter what he tried. He didn’t want to destroy the family members that he hated but couldn’t cut off his ties with...
Zhang Han knew very well of the methods those people used. There was once someone who had walked down the wrong path like him and wanted to get away from their control. In the end, his entire family perished in flames. However, on the Federation’s police force’s investigation report, it was closed as an accident.
That made Zhang Han realize that his organization was already deeply rooted with the Federation and had great sway in it. That was why they could easily close the case with such an outcome while the situation was under much suspicion.
