The next day, Luo Ran went to work as usual.
Tomorrow Lucas will leave for Luobing, and he also said that he will take him, so Luo Ran has to do more preparations to ensure that the handover can be handled before leaving.
"Secretary Luo." Just after the early morning, the captain of the investigation team handed the document to Luo Ran.
Knowing that the captain was going to hand in the official documents in person, Rong Duo had been separated by Luo Ran, and there were only the two of them outside the office.
The captain said: "We checked the relationship between the Lion Hunting Chamber of Commerce and the eldest prince, and we confirmed that the eldest prince did give the j9 to the lion hunting, and the reason why it was sold so cheaply was because the first prince was the one who paid for it."
Luo Ran frowned slightly.
In other words, the first prince of the factory provides the cost, and the chamber of commerce is only responsible for selling it to make money
So in order to make more money, they simply sell it cheaper, and they have zero cost in the end.
Why did the great prince do this? what is the benefit
"As for whether the Lion Hunting Chamber of Commerce is composed of Xingkou, we can't determine this for the time being, but the external president of the Chamber of Commerce is Count Ladolph."
"it is good."
Lorraine nodded.
After Luo Ran sat down, she was still thinking about the purpose of the first prince.
Maybe he needs Xingkou, and he also needs Xingkou's troops, so he is willing to give Xingkou so many benefits.
Maybe Xingkou was hit hard by Lucas before, so the eldest prince and Hunting Fox wanted to restore Xingkou as soon as possible.
Or is it actually not that complicated, the Chamber of Commerce is just a means for the eldest prince to make money
Loran paused, checked the information, and called home.
"mom… "
"What's wrong Ran Ran?"
"Can you give me Aunt Yu's contact information?"
Luo Ran wanted to get back the contact information of the blind date who blocked him, Yu Han. First, let him have a chat, apologize and explain the situation, and then ask him to do him a favor.
Yu Han worked in the government's financial department after all.
Luo Ran had no intention of disturbing her at first, and she didn't even want to entangle herself in order to seek help from others. But now, Luo Ran must be sure of one thing.
According to speculation and Zhou Mingkai's unintentional disclosure, Yu Han was so resolutely blocked after receiving bribes and intimidation, otherwise even if Lucas went to him and questioned him, it wouldn't be so, and he would even feel helpless.
But Luo Ran was sure that Lucas would not do such a thing, he would only pick things up openly, and he might have to be confident after picking things up.
So…
Now that the eldest prince is suspected of colluding with Xingkou, it has not yet been determined, but Luo Ran and the others are investigating him.
Then Luo Ran doesn't want to miss anything about the eldest prince.
Luo Ran contacted Yu's mother and directly and honestly explained the situation to her and asked her to relay it.
After a while, Yu Han called directly.
Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and politely said, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Han's tone was still steady and gentle, but he was not angry or complained. After knowing the situation, he explained the characteristics of those who blackmailed him in detail with Luo Ran.
Then Luo Ran and Yu Han made an appointment.
Luo Ran said: "When I come back from Luobing, I will contact Mr. Yu. I will arrange the location. It is best to keep it secret."
Even if Luo Ran won't mention the royal family, it is still a little sensitive to ask Yu Han to help investigate.
After finalizing everything, after Luo Ran put down the terminal, he saw Lucas standing aside with a very bad expression, looking at Luo Ran with a faint gaze.
"Admiral...? When did you come back?" Luo Ran was startled.
Lucas sneered and said, "Start from the time and place that you make an appointment with that 'Mr. Yu'. Is that Yu Han? Your blind date?"
"..." Luo Ran said, "Admiral, Mr. Yu and I..."
"Shut up!" Lucas bared his teeth and grinned: "Why, the old love is revived? You need to make a special appointment to chat in a hidden place?"
"..." Luo Ran said: "Admiral, please let me explain, I contacted Yu Han for this."
Luo Ran directly handed the report of the investigation team to Lucas.
"Mr. Yu works at the Ministry of Finance, and he can help me move the data."
"..." Lucas snorted coldly, "You can call someone else to mobilize the data, I don't like you contacting him."
Lucaston paused, then turned his head and said, "I don't like your contact with your blind date. You obviously like me, why do you still have a blind date..."
More and more aggrieved.
"... I like you?" Luo Ran was even more confused.
"Do you think I don't know?" Lucas grinned and said, "You clearly said that at the previous banquet, you told Luo Bing, the princess who doesn't know her name!"
"… "
"Did you hear that?"
Luo Ran stared blankly at Lucas.
finished, finished...
"I am, I am..." Luo Ran lowered her head and said, "I lied to His Highness Lilia... I, I said nonsense, just to make His Highness Lilia no longer entangle."
"… "
Most afraid, the air suddenly quiet.
Quiet.
It's terribly quiet.
three minutes later.
Lucas loosened his grip on Luo Ran's collar and whispered, "You mean, you lied to her, you don't like me?"
"..." Luo Ran was a little nervous, and nodded blankly.
…
Lucas turned around blankly and left without speaking.
Back to the military.
Luo Ran held the juice and stood there in a daze, completely panicked.
Health, are you angry
It seems... sad
Did he accidentally... hurt Lucas
…
And the military shooting range at the moment.
"Touch! Touch!"
"bump!"
Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng looked at each other.
Admiral, what's the matter? Didn't you go back, why did you come again
Moreover, a person stood on the shooting range and continued to output, and the aura of the whole body looked extremely depressed.
It was so low that it seemed like he was going to kill someone.
Wang Qiuyang pushed Lu Cheng with his elbow and motioned him to ask.
Lu Cheng: "..."
Lu Cheng grinned and bumped Wang Qiuyang back with his elbow.
Why don't you go to go. I'm not going to die!
"Come here!" Lucas suddenly turned his head and said to the two of them viciously: "What are you chatting in the back, come and practice with me!"
"… "
The two of them went up like a fate.
"Snapped!"
Lucas threw the gun in his hand to the side forcefully, and switched to another one to shoot frantically at the distant target.
Silent.
…
"Secretary Luo, Secretary Luo!"
"what… ?"
Luo Ran suddenly came back to her senses and realized that Rong Duo was calling him.
"What's wrong with Secretary Luo? Are you uncomfortable?" Rong Duo was a little worried.
Today's Luo Ran is obviously in a wrong state.
"No." Luo Ran rubbed his temples.
Rong Duo handed an official document to Luo Ran and said, "I've sorted it out, Secretary Luo can look at it."
"Well, thank you."
Then the office door opened, and Lucas was going downstairs for a meeting.
"Admiral...!" Luo Ran quickly got up and smiled: "Is the admiral going to discuss a new route for escorting the ice mine? Do you need me to follow?"
Lucas glanced at Luo Ran, opened his mouth to stop talking, and finally turned his head and went downstairs without saying a word.
"… "
Luo Ran looked at Lucas' back and was stunned.
Rong Duo could see that Luo Ran's hand on his side was rubbing the corner of his clothes unconsciously, and his face was a little pale.
Quarrel, quarrel...
No wonder Luo Ran is in a downturn today.
Rong Duo was a little surprised.
Wow, does the general secretary also quarrel
"Secretary Luo... Don't worry, just..." Rong Duo thought, the head of the bed was arguing with the end of the bed, what could be a big deal!
"The admiral has a bad memory, and he'll be out of anger right away!"
"Well." Luo Ran nodded absently, got up and said, "I'll go to the medical department."
He was going to sign with Shen Xiluo.
Now Xia Zhi is also in the medical department, when he saw Luo Ran coming, he stepped forward and dragged him to have a cup of coffee together.
"Ran Ran is leaving again tomorrow." Xia Zhi sighed and said, "Ran Ran, who was kicked away by the general, is different. Recently, he doesn't chat and drink coffee with me very much."
The two were sitting in the compartment of the hospital restaurant at the moment, and Luo Ran stayed by the way to have dinner with Xia Zhi.
Loran paused and said, "Xia Xia, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Um?"
Luo Ran said: "Can you tell the difference between the likes of falling in love and the likes of family members? If... If you accidentally hurt others, I mean... "
Luo Ran has always been professional and calm, but now seeing Luo Ran's appearance without any masters, Xia Zhi doesn't need to think about it to know why, and interrupted: "You quarreled with the admiral? Is there a relationship problem?"
"No." Luo Ran didn't know what to say, "I rejected the admiral's confession, we..."
Then Luo Ran was silent, organizing the language.
"The reason for your refusal..." Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it because you think the admiral likes you, not in that respect?"
"..." Luo Ran remembered that he was in the bathroom that day, and Lucas's reaction gave him a direct drink.
If it was someone that Lucas didn't like, someone who didn't like in that way, he would definitely feel disgusted, how could there be such... such a reaction.
Luo Ran said, "No."
"Then do you think your liking for the admiral is not that aspect?"
"… I have no idea."
Xia Zhi said: "Then can you accept that the admiral likes someone else?"
Luo Ran was stunned and said: "I never thought... Admiral will not like others, he is too resistant to outsiders, this is impossible."
"Then why does he pursue you so hard?" Xia Zhi smiled at Luo Ran, "If it's like what you said, what are you afraid of?"
Luo Ran's body froze.
Xia Zhi filled Luo Ran's teacup, lowered his eyes and said, "Your situation is a circle in itself. You are too smart and too cautious, but you have devolved yourself into it."
"You cherish him so much that you dare not take that step, but think about why you cherish him so much? You think the admiral doesn't understand that love doesn't really like it, so why do you have such a concept? Well, then can you accept that you have always maintained the status quo, and you will show tenderness to others in the future?"
Luo Ran was fascinated by the food in front of her, and the chopsticks in her hands stopped moving.
When Lucas was a little cold to him, he was a little uncomfortable and sad.
For the first time, Luo Ran imagined Lucas being nice to others.
It feels impossible.
But if Lucas really takes care of others with tenderness and unconditional trust...
Also dating and marrying others, kissing others, being intimate with others, exposing the wayward appearance of a lion's belly...
Luo Ran frowned slightly, holding the chopsticks tightly.
"Let's eat, let's eat when we're full." Xia Zhi gave Luo Ran the meat with chopsticks, "Eat more meat and add some protein, it's really hard for you to go to the ice with the general in your current mental state. "
…
The next day, the team officially went to Luobing.
This time it was just a military parade, so Lucas didn't bring the army with him. Besides, he was on vacation now, so he just brought Wang Qiuyang and Freeman, plus a small team.
"I have to go to the Falling Ice Frontier this time. The journey is relatively long. The Admiral plans to stop at several small military camps and patrol positions in the empire in the middle of the way, and continue the inspection along the way." Wang Qiuyang and Luo Ran stood by the window, watching The warship left the empire, and then entered an increasingly cold area.
Luo Ran put on a thick winter coat.
He likes to stand by the window of the battleship and look at the scenery, and he would rather give up the heating in the battleship room to see these rare and vast universes and stars.
It is the scenery that Lucas has seen since he was a child.
The battleship stopped at a stronghold after traveling for a long time.
Lucas asked Wang Qiuyang to accompany Luo Ran to stay on the battleship for a while, and he went down to see if there was enough heating in the room.
Luo Ran's mental state is not good now, and Lucas doesn't want him to go down and blow the cold wind.
After all, the military base is naturally simple, and a group of soldiers are not afraid of cold.
Five minutes later, Freeman came up and said, "Secretary Luo can go down!"
Luo Ran asked, "Where is the general now?"
"Ah, he and the soldier here went to the shooting range to shoot!"
Luo Ran nodded and smiled: "Can I go and have a look?"
When Luo Ran arrived at the shooting range, he saw that Lucas was standing by and playing with the captain.
There is an interesting game in the Falling Ice Barracks, which can be regarded as an exercise, and that is to play snowflakes.
The machine will drop large flakes of snow in the sky, and the soldiers can compete to see who has the most fights in three minutes.
Snowflakes are light and thin, making them much harder to hit than targets.
As soon as Lucas arrived, he was dragged to the game by the captain, and he just won a game.
A landslide victory of 81-34.
Simply inhuman achievement.
"Who else doesn't agree?!" Lucas threw the gun in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Come up by yourself! I want to compete a few games now!"
Loran paused, stood next to Lucas, and picked up the gun.
The audience was in an uproar, and then began to shout and applaud.
Lucas was stunned for a moment, then frowned at Luo Ran.
This day, Lucas had been ignoring Luo Ran, but Luo Ran took the initiative to confront Lucas in full view.
Lucaston paused and wanted to say something, but turned and walked away.
The captain and the others stared at them blankly, not daring to speak.
Luo Ran smiled, put down the gun and chased after him.
"Admiral!"
Lucas strode onto the battleship.
He also didn't want to hang Luo Ran like this, but he was really uncomfortable and caused so much trouble to Luo Ran, so he didn't want to lose his temper in front of Luo Ran and hurt him.
He needs to vent himself well, and then he can continue to pursue Luo Ran again.
"Admiral...!"
"Ah... hiss."
Luo Ran seemed to have a sprained foot.
"?!"
Lucas frowned, and subconsciously stopped and turned around.
Then Luo Ran threw him in his arms.
Luo Ran rushed into Lucas's arms and directly pressed the person against the wall.
Lucas: "???"
Grass, touch porcelain!
"Admiral, listen to me." Luo Ran said, "Don't leave yet."
At this moment, Luo Ran stretched out his hand to wrap Lucas between his body and the wall, but because of the difference in height and body shape, it seemed that Luo Ran was being held.
This may be Luo Ran's first and only gaffe in his life.
Luo Ran was afraid that Lucas was going to leave and wouldn't let him speak, so he immediately said, "I like you, I like you."
Lucas froze in place, thinking he had heard it wrong.
Luo Ran lowered her head, her ears and cheeks were so red that they almost dripped blood.
"I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."
Lucas was stunned, and subconsciously reached out and gently rubbed the back of Luo Ran's head.
Luo Ran took a deep breath and said seriously: "I don't believe in myself, but I believe in you."
"Admiral, I like you, really."
"Would you like to try it with me?"
