She couldn't help but feel guilty towards the teacher for actually doubting him.
However, this truth, which involved the two most important people in her life, made her desire it even more.
... ...
In the light screen.
After Gu Ran controlled Kelly Duville, he looked at the other officers and soldiers and said coldly, "You'd better stop all your actions behind your back and put aside all your little thoughts! Otherwise, do you think I can't kill you?"
Everyone in the control room looked at each other in bewilderment, and then one of Kelly Duville's confidants said sternly, "Who are you? Do you know who General Duville is? I advise you to release General Duville as soon as possible, otherwise no matter who is behind you, you will be in big trouble!"
"Did I ask you to speak?"
As Gu Ran finished his words, Kelly Duville's confidant screamed immediately, and his body was cut into two pieces by space from the heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very proficient in controlling my supernatural powers, so the scene was a little bloody when I was killing people." Gu Ran explained lightly, "I am a person who follows the rules. When I allow you to speak, I won't blame you for speaking."
The scene immediately fell silent.
As for these old hands, Gu Ran knew that he looked young on the outside, so the only way to shock them and prevent them from having any extra thoughts was to act ruthless.
"Here is a question. I will choose one person to ask. If your answer does not satisfy me, then I don't need to explain the consequences. You already have a vivid example in front of you."
Gu Ran glanced around, and everyone's body trembled involuntarily.
This young man has an extremely handsome appearance, but he has the face of an angel and the heart of a devil.
"Then... you answer it." Gu Ran pointed to an officer who had the same blond hair and blue eyes as Kelly Duville.
As if summoned by the god of death, the blond officer who was called out immediately had a sad face, but he did not dare to refuse. The most powerful General Duville was defeated by the young man without any ability to fight back, so he himself would be even less likely to be an opponent.
"Excuse me, are you one of General Duville's men?"
The blond officer immediately shook his head.
"No, no, I have nothing to do with General Duville! How could I be the traitor?!"
Kelly Duville, who was "running and exercising" in the space cage, had fire in his eyes. This guy was one of the most trusted people under his command, but he didn't expect that he would stab him in the back at this time and call him a rebel.
If he had the chance, he would definitely execute this traitor with his own hands!
Gu Ran glanced at Kelly Duville's expression, saw his emotions, smiled faintly and said:
"So you are not General Duville's man. Then you are of no use to me at all?"
After saying this, a trace of regret appeared on Gu Ran's face.
The blond officer's heart trembled, and he immediately changed his words: "I, I am General Duville's confidant, his best confidant, I know his secrets very well, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Gu Ran said noncommittally: "Then you should know how to contact the D District Legion Headquarters, right?"
"I know! I know! Of course I know! Is it... ...need I contact the legion headquarters right now?" the blond officer asked cautiously.
At the same time, he couldn't help but guess in his heart.
Could it be that this young man is from the Yang family
"Contact now." Gu Ran said lightly.
The blond officer nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you right away."
The blond officer quickly found a communicator in the control room of the city defense cannon and tuned into the dedicated channel.
"Hello, this is Blanco from the 25th Division. I have an urgent matter to contact Commander Yang Tian. Please put me through as soon as possible."
Then the blond officer, Blanco, turned to Gu Ran and said with a smile, "I'll be connected right away. Do you want to make a video call or a voice call?"
Gu Ran glanced at the communicator and said, "Video."
If Blanco had behaved in the slightest suspicious way just now, he would have ruthlessly added another body to the scene.
But from beginning to end, Blanco was very sensible and did what Gu Ran said.
Soon, a dignified-looking middle-aged man appeared on the projection screen in the control room. He had black hair and black eyes, a little beard, and a neat and straight black military uniform. It was obvious that he was a very serious man.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
Everyone was also guessing.
"What is he going to do? Is he going to report that idiot general and hand him over to the other party to ask for credit?"
"That's right. Although he has the strength of an A-level psychic now, he is still far behind the powerful Duville family in Saint Joel City. The best way is to join a force that can compete with the Duville family and has a grudge against them. Then the Yang family is undoubtedly a very good choice."
"As long as he tells the truth about what that idiot general did, the Yang family will definitely turn against the Duville family. Then, since he has done a favor for the Yang family, he can get the protection of the Yang family. It must be said that it is really amazing that he can have such a strong political sense and skill at such a young age."
Cheng Youmeng shook his head: "No, his plan is definitely more than that. Just wait and see, he will definitely surpass your expectations."
28. Take refuge? No, it’s an equal transaction!
More than we thought
Everyone disagreed with Cheng Youmeng's words.
Although they knew that Gu Ran must have extraordinary political wisdom and skills to have been able to rise from a garbage collecting boy in the slums to the most centralized tyrant in the history of the Human Alliance, but how old is he now
Moreover, I had never had any experience before. I just took care of children and studied in the slums.
Even if Gu Ran can demonstrate superhuman political wisdom, he will surely need sufficient training and growth in the future.
Moreover, what they just thought of is the best solution at the moment. Only by joining the Yang family and getting the protection of the Yang family can Gu Ran, who is currently only an A-level mutant, live safely in Saint Cole City.
Otherwise, he would have to leave St. Joan City. Otherwise, the anger of the Duville family would be enough to make it impossible for him to stand in St. Joan City.
... ...
In the light screen.
Yang Tian projected the screen into the control room through video communication technology, and at the same time, the scene in the control room was also projected to the opposite side through screen projection technology.
Yang Tian frowned and glanced around, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
There was a group of officers and soldiers, a corpse, and a young man. The space over there seemed to be something abnormal, as if someone was trapped there.
Because Kelly Duville decisively took control of the garrison camp in a short period of time, what he did had not yet reached Yang Tian's ears, resulting in Yang Tian, the highest military commander of Zone D, not knowing what happened in Zone D32.
However, Yang Tian was very cunning. After taking a quick look, he remained calm and asked dignifiedly, "Blanco, do you have anything to report to me?"
Blanco looked at Gu Ran, asking for his opinion, but he didn't dare to speak casually, as he had learned the lesson from the past.
Gu Ran said calmly, "Go ahead. Since you are General Duville's confidant, you should know everything he asked you to do. Just tell General Yang Tian the detailed information you know. If you dare to deceive or conceal anything... you know the consequences yourself."
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you right away." Blanco said quickly.
Blanco then told them truthfully that Kelly Duville had ordered them to take control of the garrison camp and eliminate the officers loyal to the Yang family, and then took them to the city defense cannon control room to prepare to bombard the D32 area and raze it to the ground.
However, because Kelly Duville did not tell them about his command mistakes, and the square-faced general who was killed was from the Yang family and was not on good terms with him, and he did not tell him either, so Blanco was not too clear about what Kelly Duville was doing on the front line, and could only guess a little based on the limited information he knew.
After Blanco finished speaking, Gu Ran took out the audio he recorded for Kelly Duville and played it.
The recording begins in a military tent on the front line, showing what Kelly Duville said, from the moment he made a fatal command mistake to the moment he returned to the garrison camp and started a purge.
When the performance was over, the place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
They only knew that Kelly Duville wanted to seize power, but they didn't expect that this was the reason for the seizure.
After making mistakes in command at the front line and suffering a total defeat, he returned to the garrison camp and launched a purge of Yang's officers. He wanted to bombard the D32 area and raze it to the ground to cover up his own crimes.
The people in the control room were not stupid, and they instantly reconstructed Kelly Duville's entire process in their minds.
Kelly Duville, who was "running and exercising" in the space cage, knew that he was finished. He would never be able to gain a foothold in the D-Zone Legion again.
He really wanted to get rid of this space cage and escape, but this damn space cage made his body no longer belong to him. He now had no power of autonomy at all. Even if he wanted to stop on his own, the constantly circulating space portal would teleport his body over and over again.
"Hmph, Yang Tian, that guy must be your man, you must have already figured out how to frame me. The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, you can kill him or chop him up as you please, but our Duville family will never let it go." Kelly Duville said in a seemingly tough tone.
However, there is actually a hidden meaning behind these words. He is still looking for a glimmer of hope for himself.
No matter what, first shift the blame, and then use the Duville family to put pressure on others.
According to the rotation agreement among the major families, the next ruling family of Saint Jolie City will be the Duville family. When the Duville family becomes the ruling family, it will be the most powerful family in Saint Jolie City.
He didn't believe that Yang Tian would not consider this. Even the other major families did not dare to offend the ruling family. They would avoid the limelight and give up appropriate interests, not to mention a second-tier family like the Yang family.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
"Wait a minute, I remember that the Duville family became the ruling family of Saint Joel City the year after this incident. In that case, even if we join the Yang family, it's not safe anymore."
Someone suddenly remembered.
"Yes, being a ruling family and a non-ruling family, the power is completely different. If the Duville family is not a ruling family, then although it is one of the top families in Saint Joel City, it is only one of them. The Yang family can still compete with it by joining forces with other families. But if the Duville family becomes a ruling family, then the Duville family is undoubtedly the top family, and the one can be removed."
"Other families will no longer fight against the Duville family for the sake of the Yang family, and the Yang family will not be able to fight against the Duville family, which has become the ruling family. Then the Yang family will naturally not be able to protect Gu Ran anymore. In this way, Gu Ran's move to join the Yang family is completely wrong!"
"Well, yes, although he has done a good job, he is still too young and has not been trained, so he did not notice that the next year will be the year of the change of leadership in Saint Joel City, and the Duville family will take power and become the ruling family."
Although everyone was on the standpoint of punishing the tyrant Gu Ran at the beginning, Gu Ran on the light screen had not yet exposed his evil deeds. Moreover, adopting a baby girl, killing the bald strong man, and saving the survivors in the slums were all in line with current political correctness and in line with the values of most people present.
So everyone unconsciously stood on Gu Ran's side and considered the problem for him.
However, what they didn't expect was that Gu Ran's next action overturned their judgment.
