Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 197: Plan
The general asked calmly.
But Mu Ting Ye had suspected that the general should have long guessed what Yu Shi Lan’s attitude would be.
The country had a comprehensive monitoring system, used to protect the people. But at the same time, the use of technology also meant that there would be less privacy for them.
Many things they did would leave trace online.
And it was hard to hide things.
As long as the government wanted to check things, it was not impossible for them to find something. Besides, Yu Shi Lan had never thought of hiding her specialness from other people since she also knew that it’s impossible.
Hacking?
She had no such knowledge.
It was already good enough if she didn’t take her sword and then rushed head on to her opponent’s house.
Faking identity?
She has no such connection.
Her life on the Green Planet was a complete ordinary life.
If it was not because of her extraordinary experience that allowed her to become a cultivator, Yu Shi Lan knew that she would never have a chance to even come into contact with Mu Ting Ye.
Because if she’s just a timid girl who couldn’t even raise her head, she was absolutely sure that Mu Ting Ye would never step forward and helped her.
Thus, he might not even know her grievances with Lian Lei Xu.
And then they would not have any chance to get close.
It was all an ’if.’
But it did happen in her previous life as she lived a completely different life.
At this moment, what Mu Ting Ye saw was a short document, detaining what Yu Shi Lan had done in her 17 years and a few months of her life. Her birth was nothing special, but the conflict between her father and mother was intriguing.
Her father, a soldier, is someone who would fight on the frontline and even sacrificed his life to save many people.
Her mother, Sun Ming Yue, is the daughter of a businessman who suddenly fell in love with Yu Shi Lan’s father and ended up marrying him but having a fallout just a few years afterwards.
She couldn’t stand the life where she had to continue waiting her husband.
That kind of life was more like a widow.
But Yu Shi Lan’s father is a soldier and he didn’t want to give up on his career. Even if his wife kept on urging him and even contradict him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The two of them have a divorce when Yu Shi Lan was only four or five years old and could barely remember anything. She should have seen her parent’s quarrel, though.
And after the divorce, Yu Shi Lan stayed with her father.
Technically speaking, she should have stayed with him, but her father was often away because of various missions. This made her live rather independently and no one could know for sure how she felt about it.
This life lasted for a few years.
Until her father died in a mission and Yu Shi Lan became an orphan.
Her mother, Sun Ming Yue, refused to take her in and instead let her be adopted by her friend. And the pension money was used by her adoptive parents for themselves instead of the child herself.
She didn’t ask for help.
Either she didn’t think about it or... she didn’t dare to do it.
But no matter which one it is, Yu Shi Lan stayed with her foster family for a few years before she snapped out and then directly removed her name from their household residence.
"According the regulation, she’s still a minor and should have stayed with another guardian. The staff in charge was planning on putting her for temporary guardianship and planned to discuss it with her the next day, but plans couldn’t keep up with the changes."
This was what was written in the note.
Mu Ting Ye pursed his lips.
After the earthquake, surveillances in many areas have become extremely scarce, so information about Yu Shi Lan also decreased sharply. The information they could receive was scattered and it only increased when Yu Shi Lan came to the base.
But at this time, Yu Shi Lan had become a powerful cultivator and was no longer someone they could deal with so easily anymore.
"Did you plan to take her in?" Mu Ting Ye asked.
"We have no plan to do anything." The general shook his head. Just keeping surveillance to make sure that Yu Shi Lan would not endanger the public as it is their duty. "But she’s the one who send herself in."
With the video clearly captured what had happened and she herself was the one who recorded it...
It was obvious that Yu Shi Lan was doing it intentionally.
Mu Ting Ye pursed his lips.
"She’ll be released soon after the period is over, but Mu Ting Ye, do you think that you can still trust her?" The general asked calmly.
Trust that she wouldn’t lash out on others because of her past?
Many criminals have miserable pasts and the general was taking precaution because Yu Shi Lan has the ability to disrupt a large number of people’s lives.
Mu Ting Ye blinked his eyes and then smiled. "She’s not the most righteous person I have ever seen, but I don’t think that she will be a dangerous person. If she truly wants to take revenge on society, she would have long do it and as you have said, people from the martial arts world have their own set of conduct."
After that, the general and Mu Ting Ye were staring at each other.
...
Inside the prison.
At this moment, Yu Shi Lan had no idea that someone else was busy discussing about her future and all.
After all, she has her own plans.
"Meow." <Is it fine for you to meditate all night long?>
Xiao Mao felt that Yu Shi Lan really have a big heart. She had just made such a big commotion and now she was simply resting and meditating.
