Lucas thinks he won't be able to sleep tonight.
He felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
—Although that person’s clothes that night were white and Luo Ran was blue, Luo Ran’s underwear was white.
- The first and only time Luo Ran asked for leave without telling her was the day after the incident.
- Luo Ran concealed her gender before and used a lot of odor concealers, but she always avoided herself intentionally or unintentionally in those days.
Now that I say this, although there is no hard evidence, it seems that there are many details that seem to be absent.
Lucas: "… "
No way.
No way.
Luo Ran's fellow dared to deceive himself? !
—Luo Ran lied to him, secretly reading the book and fanfiction by herself.
—Luo Ran lied to him about his gender.
—Luo Ran lied to him to like him.
—Luo Ran lied to him not to like him.
Lucas: "… "
female horse.
Lucas really couldn't sleep that night.
Luo Ran went home to get his clothes that night. Lucas had a long night and was almost so angry that he went to Luo Ran's house to beat him up because of his own guess.
So the next day, after Luo Ran went to work, he saw Lucas looking at him deeply.
Lorraine:
Luo Ran put the document on the table and smiled: "Admiral, the company's annual meeting is coming soon."
"Well." Lucas stoked his chin and looked at Luo Ran.
"What's wrong, Admiral?"
"Luo Ran." Lucaston said after a while, "Do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
"?"
Lucas grinned and said, "Is it dissatisfied with the size, or is it dissatisfied that I can't say strange things? Why, do you prefer my man to call you more than your name?"
"???"
"Admiral, be more confident." Luo Ran held back a smile and said, "Did you see something strange again?"
"I didn't, it was you." Lucas got up and pulled Luo Ran's collar and said, "Is there anything you are hiding from me? To be honest now, I don't mind."
... a fart.
"..." Luo Ran was stunned for a moment, then tentatively said: "Do you know that I read Nana's article?"
"..." Lucas looked at Luo Ran in front of him.
Impeccable.
Lucas snorted coldly and sat down without saying a word.
Is it really not him
"Admiral?" Luo Ran didn't think much about it at the moment, thinking that he was really dissatisfied with the fans he watched online, so he smiled apologetically: "Admiral, those novels are just entertainment, just laugh it off."
Luo Ran thought, what is Nana's literature? Lucas knows the book.
Break the jar and break it, at will.
After Loran left, Lucas contacted the captain of the investigation team.
"Check! Give me the detailed itinerary for the night of King Charoran's birthday banquet and the purchase record for the next day!"
Whether it is Luo Ran or not, he should check it first. After all, he said that he was going to kill that person before, so it is not good to ask Luo Ran directly at this moment.
Then the company got busy, and preparations for elections were in full swing outside, and the annual meeting of Lucas Corporation was coming soon, and each department would also prepare for performances.
Not only that, there is also a team building after the annual meeting, which should have been done before the new year, but before the new year, Lucas was out to fight, so it was delayed until now, and it will be made up when Lucas returns.
In the final analysis, the annual meeting is to hold a summary meeting, and then use various lucky draws and red envelopes to reward employees.
Luo Ran is busy now.
"Xingkou's group of unks of unknown origin, after investigation, it was confirmed that they were excavated from a mine in Luobing." The investigation captain handed the report to Luo Ran and said, "It seems that Luobing has discovered a new mine. field."
"Huh?" Luo Ran frowned slightly and said, "Is it discovered by the Luobing government, or by Xing Kou?"
After asking, I felt that the question was not valid.
Although Xing Kou is powerful, it is impossible to take a detector to every area of the falling ice to test and find it. After all, they are foreign enemies, not the Luobing government that can come and go freely within Luobing and analyze the land.
Even if they were really lucky enough to land on an ice mine when they plundered the city, that would be impossible.
The ice mine goes deep into the ground, and the material is also special. It must go through more than half a day of thermal energy detection and then soil inspection to confirm.
Therefore, it can only be discovered by the falling ice government itself.
But since I found it, I didn't report it...
Obviously, either there was a high-ranking official in Luo Bing, or Luo Bing colluded with Xing Kou.
Maybe it's because the empire rejected the ice mine, and Lucas blew up the mine himself, but Xingkou bought it at a high price, so Luobing couldn't resist the temptation to trade with Xingkou
Luo Ran tapped lightly on the table with her fingers.
Less than an afternoon later, Lucas received a letter from the secretary of King Falling Ice.
The king personally invited Lucas to Luobing to participate in the reward banquet, rewarding the empire and Luobing soldiers, thanking them for protecting Luobing farmers and protecting several cities, and Lu Cheng and the other officers of Luobing will also be there.
Perhaps worried that Lucas would not go, the king specially attached a document.
Luo Ran took a look at Lucas's terminal and frowned slightly.
The document is the supply of the j5 pharmaceutical factory to Luobing, it is marked as free, and there is a signature of the secretary of the first prince at the bottom.
"Is King Luobing trying to imply that selling unk to Xingkou is the first prince's coercion?" Luo Ran raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe, maybe not. I'll know when I go. The king wants to tell me in person. It's not a trivial matter." Lucas smiled and said, "I'll go tomorrow."
Luo Ran said: "Then I..."
"You stay in the capital and deal with the rest, and I will meet you every year when I come back."
Loran paused, he really couldn't walk away, so he had to say, "Okay."
In this way, Lucas had to leave less than three days after returning to the capital.
But I just went to discuss a matter and came back, including a day and a half back and forth, which is fine.
Luo Ran frowned slightly and said, "I didn't come before, but I told him after the admiral came back."
But this is not to blame for Luobing, after all, the reward banquet naturally has to wait for the battle to be cleaned up, and it can only be done when it is over, and it cannot be said sooner.
Lucas was taken aback.
Luo Ran: "What's wrong?"
Lucas seemed to have discovered a new continent, "You actually act like a baby and complain."
"… I do not have."
"You have it!" Lucas was so choked up that he hugged Luo Ran and smiled: "What are you angry, I'll be back in a day, sticky spirit."
"Yeah." Luo Ran's ears were slightly red.
"When I come back, I'll bring you a gift of falling ice."
"… Hmm." The voice was even lower this time.
…
— xxxxx —
After Lucas left, Luo Ran concentrated on work and didn't think too much about other things.
Lucas didn't make a statement about this trip, but as soon as the person arrived in the capital, the person who landed on the ice king's side came to receive him.
With a respectful attitude, he led him to the hotel where the banquet was held.
"Admiral." Mu Yuan was also there, nodding slightly.
Freeman and the team behind Lucas had no intention of avoiding them. They followed Lucas into the manor, which was always a feast for the soldiers.
Mu Yuan and Lucas went upstairs together and came to the small private room.
The Falling Ice King was much younger than the Empire's. He was a middle-aged man with a bit of vigor. He was tall and thin.
"Admiral." Even the king was a defeated country, so he had to say hello when he saw Lucas.
"Well." Lucas sat down with a big thorn, and said with his legs crossed: "Speak."
The king glanced at Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan said: "A few days ago, Luobing discovered a polar ice mine on the outskirts of Chonghua City. It is a polar ice mine, not an ice mine."
Lucas frowned slightly.
Extreme Ice Mine…
Are there unk mines
Generally speaking, unk is an extremely rare existence hidden in ordinary ice mines, but there has never been a situation where the entire mine is unk.
This is so tempting.
Mu Yuandao: "We couldn't believe it at the time. We were preparing to register when Chonghua City was quickly captured by Xingkou. I was stopped by someone from the Empire on my way there. That person... is the new secretary of the First Prince. "
Lucas snorted.
"The secretary said that the empire will handle it, let us fall out of the ice and not interfere." Mu Yuan frowned: "He said that the eldest prince has sent the royal army to clean up and expel the star bandits, and said that unk has caused a lot of trouble in the empire. , I don't want unk to split the empire again, so let Luobing keep it a secret."
"I was forced to sign a confidentiality and mining rights contract with the empire, but... Now the admiral has also discovered that Xingkou has unk, and is tracking it down, we can no longer keep it a secret."
Lucas said coldly, "How long has the polar ice mine been excavated?"
Mu Yuan said: "After deducting the first batch of experiments, there are four days in total."
Lucas tapped the arm of the chair lightly with his fingers.
There is no way for the mine to escape or hide with long legs. This matter can't be kept secret for long. The first prince must also have the mentality that he can make as much as he can. After all, the contract was signed by Mu Yuan, and the secretary can also be said to be impersonating. There is no trace of the First Prince.
But if it wasn't for the Xingkou being too hasty, and greedily taking away so many unks during the battle that day, and even exchanging them as hostages, then this matter would not have been exposed so quickly.
If this matter hadn't been exposed and Xing Kou had not been involved, Luo Bing would not have come to tell him.
Then why did Xingkou ignore the eldest prince
Did they fall out
"Admiral, do we want to stop it?" Mu Yuan frowned and said: "If it's just an internal issue of the empire, we won't intervene, but now it involves Xingkou, if the general is going to go to war, I will..."
"No." Lucas waved: "You don't need to worry about this, let them continue mining."
"what… ?"
Lucas raised his eyebrows and said, "The eldest prince sent someone to keep you secret, don't say where the unk you took away from the battle came from, right?"
"Yes, but we didn't..."
"Listen to him." Lucas smiled: "Pretend not to tell me, let them continue mining."
"But the Admiral..."
"I said it, don't worry about it." Lucas said with a sullen face: "I have to say it a few times."
The king paused, patted Mu Yuan's shoulder and said, "Admiral makes his own decisions and arrangements."
Mu Yuan remembered the battle that day. Lucas also put the hostage first and let Xing Kou take unk easily.
Seems to be... doesn't mind if they take it.
But who Lucas is, the entire galaxy knows.
It is impossible for him to give the advantage to the enemy unless he has a plan.
Mu Yuan paused and said, "Yes!"
Afterwards, Mu Yuan discussed a lot of details with Lucas, but Lucas didn't understand many things, so he just asked Freeman to record it and let Luo Ran deal with it.
Leaving the box and going downstairs, and returning to the banquet scene, Lucas saw Kleiman.
Wang Qiuyang smiled and said, "It seems to be fine."
Before Keliman and Luo Ran were raided in the snowy mountains, Keliman was too late to dodge and was affected by the explosion, injured and concussion.
That's why Luo Ran didn't ask him about that night. After all, Keliman was in the snowy mountains before, and it was Cyril's business. After that, he went into a coma and lay on the bed, only to wake up a few days ago.
Wang Qiuyang looked at Keliman, who was drinking and laughing with others, and said helplessly: "This first prince Luobing is true... I heard that he only got out of bed the day before yesterday, and he was drinking here today, listening to the old Lu family. The little prince complained, he couldn't wait to go whoring yesterday."
Lucas rolled his eyes.
He despised such an alpha the most.
but…
Lucas was holding the goblet, thinking that Kleiman is a person, Luo Ran has not had time to negotiate, and recently Luo Ran has been so busy with other important things that he has no time to pay attention to Kleiman. time to wake up.
Lucas asked Wang Qiuyang to talk to someone by himself, and he stepped forward alone.
"Oh! Admiral...!" Keliman blushed a little, but his consciousness was still clear, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
"I have something to ask you."
The two went to the balcony, and Lucas shot straight in, "On the night of the emperor's birthday banquet, you were resting in the box upstairs. When you came out, you ran into someone and harassed him."
"...!" Kleiman immediately wailed: "Isn't it?! Admiral, I was wrong, I was really wrong! At the time, I didn't know that Secretary Luo and you were really related!"
Lucas's expression darkened immediately.
Grass.
Moujadi said the man was wearing white that night and was harassed by Kleiman as he went upstairs.
Kleiman thought that Lucas was angry with him, and immediately shouted: "Admiral, you have a lot of things, don't care about me!! For my sake of exposing Cyril, there is no credit or hard work!"
"I really didn't mean it that day! I drank, and Secretary Luo looked so good-looking... Ah bah, I mean I was drunk and bold!"
"Besides... It's not like the admiral doesn't know Secretary Luo's skills. My god, I'll be subdued in one move. How can I take advantage of it?"
Lucas didn't speak, turned and left.
Wang Qiuyang saw that Lucas left the banquet scene with a strange expression, and immediately followed.
"What's the matter, Admiral?"
"Back to the capital."
"what… ?"
After getting on the aircraft, Lucas also received a report from the investigation team.
—Secretary Luo bought omega’s ointment online the next day to relieve internal pain and apply externally to wounds.
"Is Admiral in such a hurry? I don't even want to attend the banquet after talking about the official business." Wang Qiuyang looked at Lucas, who had no expression on his face, and teased, "Do you miss Secretary Luo?"
"I want to die." Lucas smiled.
