The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 245: She’s the One I’d Risk My Life to Protect
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The two groups faced off, neither willing to give up the mineral vein first.
The situation quickly reached an impasse.
Even if the mineral vein certification personnel arrived on site, a complete certification could not be conducted.
Led by Wan Yaoqian, they would certainly stop this certification.
Although the Fourth Legion acted low-key, once they set a target, they would achieve it no matter what happened.
In short, being entangled with the Fourth Legion was not a good thing.
Even Lu Shinian could not completely crush Wan Yaoqian and her people at this time, as he never directly confronted the Fourth Legion.
Eventually, Vice Wang came out to mediate.
"Wan Yaoqian, why not discuss this somewhere else?"
The two groups standing here, what does it look like?
Wan Yaoqian chuckled lightly and agreed: "Alright."
She made a gesture of invitation, "Commander Lu, please."
The two groups quickly arrived at a secret location under Second Master’s name.
Wan Yaoqian did not know that Second Master was Su Heyuan, nor that Su Heyuan had a fairly good relationship with Lu Shinian, so she chose such a relatively neutral place.
Wan Yaoqian’s people and Lu Shinian’s people guarded outside, leaving only the two of them inside the secret room.
Wan Yaoqian was the first to speak, "Commander Lu, if you are willing to let us have this mineral vein, I can promise on behalf of the Fourth Legion that for the next ten years, all medicines the Third Legion purchases from the Fourth Legion will be discounted by ninety percent."
Ninety percent off, which is essentially free.
In terms of price alone, the value of this mineral vein is actually equivalent to Wan Yaoqian’s promise.
Wan Yaoqian’s sincerity was indeed quite ample.
But...
"This mineral vein is very important to my legion’s people."
These days, there are quite a few people in the Third Legion exhibiting ancestry phenomena, and while Su Ruan has sold them pure energy stones, for the enormous Third Legion, it’s still inadequate.
As the commander of the Third Legion, he is responsible for the entire legion’s people.
This mineral vein was discovered by his subordinates and, according to Federation law, should belong to the Third Legion.
Lu Shinian’s insistence did not surprise Wan Yaoqian at all.
He had his persistence, and she had hers.
The negotiations once again reached an impasse.
Silence spread throughout the room.
After a long time, Lu Shinian’s Light Brain suddenly rang.
Looking down, he found it was Su Ruan calling for a video communication.
He glanced at the opposite Wan Yaoqian and answered the call.
A virtual screen popped up in mid-air. When he spoke to Qi Chen earlier, he had set the open mode, not having reset it, so when the video connected, Wan Yaoqian also saw the figure on the virtual screen.
Wan Yaoqian’s pupils suddenly constricted.
"Brother Lu, is the mineral vein matter settled?"
Su Ruan’s voice echoed in the room.
"Not yet." Lu Shinian’s voice was not as cold as before, "Did Ruan Ruan miss me?"
Su Ruan did not notice there was someone on his side, responding in a small voice, "Mm." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Lu Shinian chuckled softly, "I’ll be back later, wait for me at home, okay?"
"Okay." Su Ruan replied, knowing he was busy, she said goodbye and hung up the video.
Once the video was disconnected, the smile on Lu Shinian’s lips was wiped away, leaving only coldness.
He looked at Wan Yaoqian and coldly said, "Wan Yaoqian, the mineral vein matter needs no further discussion."
Wan Yaoqian stared directly at Lu Shinian, not even hearing what he said and instead asked, "Who was that just now?"
Lu Shinian instinctively frowned.
"Who was that girl?" Wan Yaoqian asked again.
The people of the Fourth Legion are low-key and introverted, only caring for their own land, so when Lu Shinian married, they didn’t know, let alone watched the live broadcast.
Afterward, Lu Shinian had 003 delete all photos of Su Ruan online, so Wan Yaoqian and her people naturally had not seen Su Ruan.
Suddenly seeing Su Ruan, Wan Yaoqian’s mind was filled with one thought.
Who is she?
"My wife." Lu Shinian’s tone carried a hint of warning, "Someone I would protect at all costs."
"What’s her name?" Wan Yaoqian’s voice was anxious, "How old is she?"
Lu Shinian squinted, a strange feeling passing through his heart.
Why was Wan Yaoqian suddenly so interested in Ruan Ruan?
Seeing Lu Shinian silent, Wan Yaoqian directly said, "The Fourth Legion can give up the claim to the mineral vein, please, Commander Lu, tell me the name and age of the girl just now."
Su Ruan’s identity is not a secret, and if Wan Yaoqian wants to investigate, she can easily find out.
Lu Shinian never intended to hide it from the beginning; he simply didn’t understand why Wan Yaoqian was so excited, even willing to give up the mineral vein for Su Ruan.
Just now, he was even prepared to go to war with the Fourth Legion.
Lu Shinian examined Wan Yaoqian and nonchalantly said, "Su Ruan, 20 years old."
"20 years old..." Wan Yaoqian murmured, "Only 20?"
Wan Yaoqian muttered and then looked up at Lu Shinian, "Can I see her? I have many questions for her."
"Do you know her?" Lu Shinian asked back.
Wan Yaoqian shook her head, "I don’t know her."
Pausing, she added, "But I should know her mother."
"She resembles her mother very much."
Lu Shinian’s eyes flashed, Ruan Ruan’s mother...
Ruan Ruan never mentioned her mother, she doesn’t even know if her mother is still alive.
Wan Yaoqian actually knew Ruan Ruan’s mother?
"I need to go back and ask her opinion." Lu Shinian said solemnly.
Wan Yaoqian nodded, "Alright, please reply to me as soon as possible, Commander Lu."
She stood up and gave a military salute.
Lu Shinian also stood up, glanced at her, and then turned to leave.
An hour later, Lu Shinian arrived at their temporary residence on Musse Star.
Seeing him return, Su Ruan asked casually, "Is the matter settled?"
Lu Shinian pulled Su Ruan to sit down and shook his head, "It still needs some time."
"Ruan Ruan." His voice was very low, "Do you know this person, Wan Yaoqian?"
Su Ruan shook her head in confusion, "I don’t know, who is she?"
"The Fourth Legion’s Pharmacist." Lu Shinian explained, "Also one of the Four Great Masters of the Fourth Legion."
Su Ruan nodded thoughtfully.
The Fourth Legion has always been low-key and mysterious, even in her past life, Su Ruan only saw the Fourth Legion’s people after the death of Your Majesty, when the Four Great Armies divided the forces.
Even during the later Insect Race War, people from the Fourth Legion were rarely seen.
