Chapter 1049 Fine Tradition!

The leader of the group of people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was a middle-aged senior colonel. He looked at the familiar base in front of him and smiled bitterly.

If he could, he didn’t want to handle this hot potato. Yes, he was the person in charge of investigating Ling Lan a few years ago. He was the one who lost the case that year. It also caused him to lose his reputation in the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. He was unable to raise his head proudly ever again because of that case.

This time, the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee received a complaint from the new mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee knew that this was a hard case. It was obvious that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was the battlefield of the various factions. One mistake and they would get implicated. In the end, the leader of the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee decided to send an unimportant person to handle this case.

“Leader, we can go in now.” His assistant noticed that the leader was in a daze so he quickly reminded him.

“Oh, let’s go in.” Forget it, he would just take whatever that comes along. He had fallen down from grace here before so to be careful, he should try to understand the situation first before making a decision.

Soon, they reached the command center. They saw close to a hundred mecha operators surrounding the command center and shouting angrily.

“They should be the ones who lodged the complaint,” the senior colonel lowered his voice and told his assistant.

“Yes, leader. 97 mecha operators complained that their superiors in 250 Ace Mecha Clan were deliberately suppressing them. They humiliated them purposely and forced them to undergo unethical amounts of training to learn the basic skills of a logistician. Based on our criteria, they’re able to form a case as long as they get 10% of support,” the assistant replied hurriedly.

“Don’t form the case yet. Let’s go in and investigate first. Don’t offend the superiors of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.” The senior colonel learned from his past experience so he decided to take things slowly.

“I understand.” The other members who were new to the team was a shock at their leader’s mild attitude. Most of the time, the people who they were investigating would be subservient to them not the other way around. The officers would get nervous and flustered when they saw them. They would be treated like princes. Yet now, their senior colonel asked them to not offend the superiors of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. This meant that there was someone they couldn’t offend in there.

The older members of the team who had come to 250 Ace Mecha Clan before knew what 250 Ace Mecha Clan was like. Those young but sly officers were hard to deal with. One mistake and they would fall into their trap.

That’s right, they were thinking that the officers from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were trying to use them to get rid of their enemies again!

“Ah! The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee are here,” the two senior colonels who started this riot shouted excitedly when they saw the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee.

“That’s good. Since the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee is here, they would help me.” The other mecha operators saw this and rushed over to the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. They started complaining about their situation to them.

“Calm down. We have received your complaint. We’ll investigate this matter.” The leader saw his path getting blocked so he had no choice but to say, “Can you let us into the command center?”

“When can you give us a reply?” One of the senior colonels shouted.

“Yes. We’ve been humiliated for two months. You must give us an answer,” the other mecha operators shouted angrily. They looked as though they were going to pester the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee until they got a definite answer.

“If we don’t investigate, how will we know the truth?” The senior colonel’s face turned cold. “Will you solve the problem if you block our way? Hurry up and move aside.”

The mecha operators cleared a path for the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee after they saw that the leader was angry.

The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee entered the command center. The leader saw a familiar person welcoming them. “Long time no see, senior colonel.”

“Long time no see, Major Li. Oh, its Colonel Li now.” The senior colonel was shocked at how fast Li Lanfeng got promoted.

“Senior colonel, I didn’t expect you to be the person-in-charge of this investigation again.” Li Lanfeng smiled. He sounded as though he met an old friend. The atmosphere wasn’t as tense as it was in the last meeting between the two of them.

“I don’t have a choice. 250 Ace Mecha Clan is just too famous. Other people don’t want to handle you guys so I came.” The senior colonel quickly cleared the air by telling Li Lanfeng that he wasn’t targeting them. He just didn’t have the choice.

“Haha, I wouldn’t welcome other people but you, my friend, I welcome you.” Li Lanfeng’s words had a hidden meaning too. If he was their friend, he would welcome him. If not, he wouldn’t. Whether he was welcomed or not depended on his attitude.

The senior colonel smiled bitterly. “If there’s nothing, I don’t mind coming here for a visit. If there’s something, I won’t come even if you welcome me.” If this complaint was not true, he would be their friend. If it was the truth, he couldn’t be their friends.

As a member of the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee, he couldn’t go against his morals.

“Of course. However, our 250 Ace Mecha Clan is very peaceful so there won’t be any big issues. You’re welcome to come anytime.” Li Lanfeng smiled.

Peaceful? The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee looked at the mecha operators shouting outside. They didn’t know how this shameless Lieutenant Colonel Li was to be able to call this a peaceful place.

“This way, please.” Li Lanfeng pretended that he didn’t see the change in expression on their faces and led everyone into the command center calmly.

“He’s really shameless.” Li Yingjie, who was sitting in the meeting room and watching this scene, couldn’t help but exclaim out loud. He thought that he was shameless enough but it seemed like there was someone better than him. He should learn how to be more shameless from Li Lanfeng.

“They’re here. Don’t speak.” Li Shiyu glared at Li Yingjie.

Li Yingjie pretended to zip his mouth to show that he wouldn’t say anything. Sob, under the guidance of Boss Lan, his cousin had become scarier. He remembered how he was fed some weird tasting agents when he provoked his cousin unintentionally in the past. He shuddered at the thought of being fed with those agents again.

The senior colonel walked into the meeting room. It was still the same meeting room. In his past experience, there were just three people. Now, there were 12 people. But, the cold Regiment Commander Ling wasn’t present.

The two groups of people sat opposite each other. The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee sat on one side. They were not as arrogant as before. Instead, they appeared attentive.

The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan went directly to the point too. They showed the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee the three orders they gave.

The senior colonel looked at the strange orders and asked, “Why did you do this?”

“This is the tradition of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.” The 12 representatives from 250 Ace Mecha Clan gave the same answer simultaneously.

Lin Zhong-qing explained to them the tradition. The senior colonel finally understood what they meant.

“So, your mecha operators know all the backend stuff?”

The senior colonel was stunned. He respected Regiment Commander Ling who came up with this strange tradition. Regiment Commander Ling was challenging the rules of the entire military. If he continued like this, the entire mecha clan could operate on their own without logistician.
