Chapter 459 Two Women Join Forces (Part 1)
They thought Mu Qiancheng was simply a devil, feared by people and dreaded by ghosts. As for the soldiers’ complaints, Mu Qiancheng completely ignored them, continuing training as usual.
Over time, the soldiers had no choice but to close their mouths and train diligently.
As for Jiang Xue, she spent most of her time at home until the fifth of the month, when Shangguan Wenbin returned to Xu City, and she started learning to drive. After a few days, she had learned quite well.
Jiang Xue, who was focused on learning to drive, was pleased with her progress but unaware that Ming Lan had set her sights on her again.
Considering Ming Lan, Mu Qiancheng, for the sake of Gong Hai having saved Jiang Xue’s life, gave her another chance. This was also a decision he discussed with Mr. Mu. If Ming Lan behaved herself from then on and stopped targeting Jiang Xue, then so be it.
If she dared to have any more malicious thoughts, they would seize the opportunity to ensure she could never recover. However, Ming Lan apparently did not cherish this opportunity and was eager to act.
At this moment, Ming Lan was standing outside the gates of the military compound, negotiating with the guards. Over the past few days, she had found out some things. For example, the daughter of the Xu City military district commander had taken a liking to Mu Qiancheng but was unable to succeed because Jiang Xue was in the way.
Upon receiving this information, she immediately had an idea to team up with Lu Ling to break apart Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng.
Because she currently had neither power nor influence and had finally found Gong Hai, he would rather save Jiang Xue than allow her to exact revenge, which greatly disappointed her.
Therefore, Ming Lan decided that relying on herself was better than depending on others. No matter what, she was determined to ruin Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng and would never let them live well.
After Ming Lan told the guards she was looking for Lu Ling, she waited outside. Inside the military compound, Lu Ling was feeling extremely frustrated because a servant hadn’t done things to her satisfaction and was scolding them.
Since being sent back to Xu City that day, her father, Mr. Lu, wouldn’t allow her to go out. Not only that, but he also had guards watching her, which made her very annoyed, but she was powerless to do anything.
Because she couldn’t beat the guards and didn’t dare disobey her father, she could only stay home in frustration. This left her feeling stifled with nowhere to vent, so she took it out on the family’s servant.
While she was raging, the phone at home suddenly rang. Lu Ling glared fiercely at the servant and yelled, "Get out of here quickly!"
After shouting, she finally stepped forward to answer the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lu’s residence?"
As soon as the call connected, Lu Ling heard the voice of the compound guard in her ear.
"Yes, may I ask who you’re looking for?" At this time, Lu Ling’s voice was extremely gentle, a complete contrast to when she had just been yelling at the servant.
"Is Miss Lu Ling home? Someone is looking for her outside!"
When Lu Ling heard someone was looking for her, she was about to refuse. After a moment’s thought, she immediately said, "Have her wait a moment, I’ll be right over."
After speaking, Lu Ling hung up and then headed to the door. When she reached the doorway, two guards stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Miss, the Master has forbidden you from going out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ling’s expression darkened. But quickly, she put on a different face and said, "I’m not going out; I’m going to meet someone just outside the compound."
The guards exchanged glances and then said, "We’ll accompany you."
Lu Ling didn’t say much more. She knew that even if she spoke, these two wouldn’t listen. So, she directly left and walked toward the compound’s gate.
