Astral Flower-Chapter 540: Calm before the Storm (4)

"Did something happen?"

"Ah, it’s nothing much." Old Master Long chuckled. "Just a few people thinking that they can do anything just because there are not many people from Green Planet who can be considered powerful."

Old Madam Long frowned and then sighed.

The development of Green Planet was indeed slower because of various reasons. Because of this, their current situation was not very good in overall.

She was not directly involved, but because of her husband’s position, she knew a few things that was not considered confidential. For the confidential matters, Old Master Long couldn’t tell her anything.

"I see."

"I’ll go back soon."

"Ok." Old Madam Long watched her husband’s back as he walked to his office and lowered her head. Even after retiring, Old Master Long would still be busy from time to time because of various matters.

It was distressing.

...

<Lin Family Residence>

Lin Family was changing.

While the people from military was busy because of various matter, the people from the business world was busy eating melons. They have been listening to various matters that happened over several families because there had been a lot of dramas lately.

One of them was Lin Family.

The news of the finalized divorce spread and Lin Family officially break up with Nan Family. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Some people thought that with this, Lin Family would start their decline once more. But they were completely wrong.

The current situation was completely different.

It was just like when the Old Master Lin was jailed back then, but the Lin Family in overall was fine. This time was no different because Lin Family’s stock still has the tendency to rise upwards.

The dramas didn’t seem to affect the Lin Family at all.

"Lin Mei Yu."

In the office, Lin Mei Yu raised her head and saw her mother, Mrs. Lin, standing there. Her eyes flickered for a moment. "Mother, is there anything I can do for you?"

"It has been a while since you return home. Do you want to stay in the office all the time?" Mrs. Lin asked worriedly.

Lin Mei Yu shook her head slowly. "There are a lot of things to do here, Mother. I’ll return later when it’s done."

"Is it?" Mrs. Lin showed worry on her face. "In that case, you have to be more careful and take care of your body more. Go home when you can."

"I know, Mother." Lin Mei Yu showed a smile on her face.

Mrs. Lin looked around for a moment and then slowly turned around. "You know, if you’re too tired, you can also consider handing over the management rights. Not all of them, just part of them so that you don’t have to work so hard."

Lin Mei Yu heard her mother’s words and her grip on the chair tightened. She took a deep breath. "Not at this juncture, Mother. When the situation stabilize, I’ll think about it."

"Ok, I won’t bother you anymore."

Mrs. Lin walked out of the office.

Lin Mei Yu looked at her mother’s back and then slowly lowered her head to look at the documents in front of her. There were many things that she had to do in order to make sure the company could operate well.

But she would be lying if she said that she was not tired.

It was just that she couldn’t give up, not at this juncture.

...

<Military Academy A>

Things were all going slowly outside.

Some people lived on their lives, not realizing the hidden storm that was about to break out. And those who knew about this matter were slowly suppressing it, not daring to say even a single world because they were worried about themselves.

And in the midst of everything, the people in the military academy A was living a relatively normal life.

Or at least, they should have been.

The relationship between Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing was still as strained as before. The two of them didn’t talk much aside from the time when they were having spars with each other.

Long Shi Yu was wondering what Long Qian Xing was planning when the incident happened.

The sound of gunshots rang out in the Military Academy A once more.

And this time, the students were in the classroom and ordered to stay put.

"There’s already another commotion so soon?" Feng Yu Hua was astonished. She thought that those people would take their time before making their move.

"It’s already time." Nan Hua was calm.

Considering that it was already the time for the new recruits to come out from each sections, she was not surprised. These few months would be the time when the organization sacrificed most members in order to achieve their goal.

No matter whether they were capable or not, they would be given the test to prove themselves.

Failure was not tolerable.

"Uh, I’m glad it’s not me," Feng Yu Hua murmured in a low voice. She was sitting beside Nan Hua, whispering in a low voice with each other.

Anyway, they were not the only one because the other students were also discussing with their stablemate. They were curious, but they didn’t dare to come out and made trouble at this juncture.

What if there was any stray bullet coming at them?

They would be officially ending their career that they had not even started yet.

"Look outside."

"Huh?" Feng Yu Hua raised her head and looked at Nan Hua in confusion. What does Nan Hua meant by looking outside?

Or does it mean looking at the information from outside?

Feng Yu Hua silently operated her light brain to figure out if there was anything that happened outside. There were many things related to the business world, but it was something that had happened over the past few months.

Nan Hua wouldn’t mention it only now if it was about these things.

And then, there was a push notification: a warning about a massive landslide just outside the capital city.

Feng Yu Hua’s eyes widened in shock.

Beside her, Nan Hua looked at the window at the side, her expression unreadable. "It’s time."
