Chapter 103 Brother-in-law

Li Tianlan never felt that he was the kind of fierce man who could make millions of useless troops bow down and worship him when he shook his body. He had no background, no power, or reputation. Why should anyone kowtow to him?

After all, not all men were like Great Master Wuwei (Xuan Xuanzi)—an Unworldly Sublime Being who could figure out that he would become a Heavenly Son through his appearance. At least the fat man with a shiny face was not.

Ice & Fire Special Operations Division…

Li Tianlan thought it over that he had never heard the name. Since the fat man could say that it was a senior agency affiliated with Huating Special Operations Bureau, it was not much poor in standard or size. As the division chief of the Special Operations Division, Huo Yan may not be someone whose words carried much weight, but he was by no means a small potato. What did such a man want to do by coming and groveling to him so early in the morning?

“Qingyan, serve water to the guest.”

Li Tianlan said calmly as he welcomed Huo Yan into the living room.

Yu Qingyan answered obediently and brought two glasses of water to the tea table.

Huo Yan’s eyes narrowed instinctively and twinkled when he saw this. He turned away with a smile of sincerity and awe. He whispered, bowing toward Li Tianlan, “I heard your name a few days ago and I have been meaning to visit you, but I’m afraid of disturbing your private affairs. There is an opportunity to do so today, and I hope you don’t mind my taking the liberty.”

Li Tianlan’s astonishment increased. Looking at the undisguised awe in Huo Yan’s eyes, he remained expressionless, but he was growing alert inwardly. Why did Huo Yan behave like this? If he was not an inborn bitch, he would beg for something. Li Tianlan lifted the glass from the tea table and said indifferently, “Division Chief Huo, you are too serious.”

“No, I’m not. Every word I said is true and heartfelt. If you don’t mind, Tianlan, you can just call me Fatty Huo, I…”

Huo Yan shook his head again and again. He did seem a bit anxious, and his flattery sounded nice, but it was not up to scratch. At least as Li Tianlan and Yu Qingyan heard it, they both got goosebumps all over the skin.

“Who’s here?”

Wang Yuetong’s clear voice came from the bedroom and interrupted Huo Yan directly.

The bedroom door opened. Wang Yuetong changed into a lilac shirt and white tights and stepped out gracefully while lowering her head to smooth her hair.

Huo Yan raised his head subconsciously, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head more quickly.

Li Tianlan’s heart skipped a beat, and the expression of appreciation in his eyes flashed away.

Wang Yuetong belonged to the kind of stunner whose slightest facial expression was charming. On charm, she may be slightly worse than Qin Weibai, but she was as good as anybody in appearance and figure. Even simple dresses could make her more attractive. The shirt and leggings made her look polished and delicate, while naturally showed off her good figure. The scale of her breasts and buttocks was not spectacular, but they looked seductive and full in an inborn way. Furthermore, her waist and legs were slender. Each time the little princess changed her clothes, she would give others a very different feeling.

She walked over to Li Tianlan and sat down, chuckling. “Senior brother, give me a hand with my hair. Do you like me sweeping back my hair in a ponytail?”

“Just let your hair hang loose over your shoulders.”

Li Tianlan smiled and smoothened Wang Yuetong’s long, silky hair, saying, “That looks better.”

Wang Yuetong made a noise in agreement. She sat next to Li Tianlan, glancing casually at Huo Yan with her eyes, and exclaimed, “Oh, it’s you.”

“Yes, yes, little princess, I’m Huo Yan…”

Huo Yan faked a smile and bent his body subconsciously. The fat around his waist was directly squeezed into a swim ring, which looked somewhat funny.

“Do you know each other?”

Li Tianlan squinted and finally found the reason why Huo Yan was so servile.

Yes, there’s something unhappy between us.”

Wang Yuetong chuckled and said, “Division Chief Huo was tough back then. He was even unwilling to do my Second Uncle a favor. That was probably something happened during my second visit to Huating three years ago.”

“That… The…”

Huo Yan allowed the sweat to run down his greasy face without wiping it away from his head. “Your Highness Princess, it’s a complete misunderstanding. I shall make an apology today. If Tianlan and Your Highness Princess don’t mind, I’m willing to cede the leadership of the Ice & Fire Special Operations Division to you…”

“It’s merely a department-level special warfare agency. Who wants it?”

Wang Yuetong curled her lips.

“Department-level?”

Li Tianlan glanced at Huo Yan and raised his eyebrows.

Just now, this man said that his Special Operations Division was a senior organization attached to Huating Special Operations Bureau. So what was Huating Special Operations Bureau’s level? It was a special warfare agency at the governor-general level and was directly affiliated to Kunlun City. In the Special Warfare System, it was a force with real power. If Ice & Fire Special Operations Division was at the department level, how brazen was the fat man in front of him to blow his own horn and make his unit into a senior agency of the Special Operations Bureau?

The special warfare agency at the department level was, at best, a small hidden administrative division of Huating Special Operations Bureau, with about a dozen elite staff and dozens of personnel. Even worse, it could barely achieve the authorized size. To take it seriously, it was not a small organization, but it was completely irrelevant to the so-called senior agency.

Li Tianlan shook his head subconsciously and picked up the glass to drink in silence.

Last night when Wang Yuetong was talking about the job fair, he had seriously thought that it was undoubtedly a chance for some secret service agencies to recruit new personnel. For students, it was also a way to get in touch with the Dark World. If the students made a contribution; internally, it would be attributed to the Sky Academy, externally, the contribution would fall on their units. This was good for them to get more funds for activities and even upgrade their level.

These units were undoubtedly desperate to retain some real talents. Those who could enter the Sky Academy were no doubt outstanding. And the talents at the Sky Academy were the real treasures in these ordinary special warfare agencies.

In this way, students’ own strength and the strength of the units they chose could largely determine their own future. The competition was there from the very beginning. No matter inside or outside the academy, the so-called fairness was always relative.

How a few powerful individuals with insufficient intelligence sources could avoid being fooled by a character like Huo Yan had become their primary concern at present.

The outside got noisier and noisier. Li Tianlan just quietly listened to the noises. He could even feel that some sad or happy farces were staged.

He set the glass on the table and thought in silence. Huo Yan’s Ice & Fire Special Operations Division had been completely ruled out by him. But even so, he still had a number of options available.

Job fairs at the new semester of the two Special Warfare Academies had always been large. From the Border Praetorian Corps, various theatre of operations in Zhongzhou State, the Special Operations Bureaus of different Provinces, to some lousy agencies, those who were qualified would crowd into the job fairs. There were also special warfare regiments and detachments of modest size and rank, but of great importance, and secret teams like Shadow Sting Army, which belonged only to the top leaders…

Li Tianlan’s realm was not high, but in terms of combat capability, no unit would turn him down. But now what he wanted to go was still Huating Special Operations Bureau.

Gu Changjiang was dead.

So there was a good chance of Ye Fengcheng taking his place.

At least, there would be some major or minor friction between the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City, revolving around Huating Special Operations Bureau. After all, someone from the Wang family of Beihai would enter the territory of Kunlun City. The peaceful transition was impossible. This was especially true in the Dark World where rules were more direct and bare.

And behind all this friction, Li Tianlan was likely to see some of the things he wanted to see. If there was a chance, he really didn’t want to miss it.

However, Ice & Fire Special Operations Division…

“What can a department-level agency see in a ministry-level agency?”

Li Tianlan lit a cigarette in silence and was absorbed in thought.

“Tianlan, it is true that Ice & Fire Special Operations Division is currently of a low level, but compare with agencies at the same level, it’s very important. And I can guarantee that, as long as you two are willing to join us, half a year, at most half a year, Ice & Fire Special Operations Division will be promoted to a vice provincial-level agency. I’m here in good faith. I’m ready to…”

“All right, Division Chief Huo.”

Wang Yuetong smiled, looked at Li Tianlan’s face, and softly interrupted Huo Yan. “I know you are sincere, but unfortunately your sincerity is not what we need. So we’re sorry that we can’t join you. I hope we can cooperate next time.”

She stood up and directly asked Huo Yan to leave. “As for the misunderstanding of the past, I have long forgotten it, and you need not to take it to heart. Go, I will see you off.”

It looked like that Huo Yan still wanted to say more, but Wang Yuetong stopped speaking and went straight to the door. It was evident that she was going to force him away.

Huo Yan stood up in helplessness and disappointment. He kept his countenance and gave the little princess a stealthy look at her buttocks wrapped in white tights, his eyes burning with desire. If he held her in his arms, he would be completely intoxicated by her.

He looked again at Li Tianlan, who was drinking water quietly, and felt even more resentful. It was obvious that Li Tianlan was the man who could hold Wang Yuetong’s hot body in his arms overtly. “Damn, this gigolo is not a good person. I swallowed my pride and kindly invited him, but he was ungrateful. If he hadn’t slept with Wang Yuetong, I wouldn’t have called on him.”

His smile remained the same, and he followed Wang Yuetong to the door. He was furious inwardly, but on the surface, he wore a broad smile.

Wang Yuetong watched him disappear, then closed the door and walked back into the living room.

“This man is quite interesting.”

Li Tianlan said with a smile, “He can still take the position after offending your Second Uncle. Is his backer very powerful?”

“Don’t underestimate Huo Yan.”

Wang Yuetong shook her head and continued, “This man is not so simple. His code name is Flame, but privately, many people call him Phoenix. He may not seem like a man with a temper, but he was at the forefront of the Special Warfare System years ago. He’s a master of intelligence, one of the senior agents in Zhongzhou State, and even one of the best intelligence agents in Zhongzhou State.”

“Although he’s at the Fire-flaming Realm, if it weren’t for him being too cunning, he absolutely could enter Kunlun City and have the capital to become Gu Changjiang and even Gu Xingyun’s confidant. It’s just that this person is so shrewd and deep that it’s hard for anyone to trust him. That’s why he failed to get a good position after staying in Huating Special Operations Bureau for years.”

Li Tianlan took out a cigarette again and nodded. “Go on.”

Wang Yuetong picked up the lighter and lit it for Li Tianlan, adding, “The reason why my Second Uncle didn’t harm him before was that he is really a talent and my Second Uncle always wanted to make him his subordinate. He hinted at it several times, but the old fox did not take a clear cut stand. He should be afraid of Gu Changjiang. Probably he has confirmed the death of Gu Changjiang now. He knew that I live with you, that’s why he came to us with flattery. Among other things, his ability to gather intelligence is very rare.

“I have received the news that the death of Gu Changjiang has been basically confirmed by Kunlun City. It is said that Gu Xingyun has sent a special group for investigating the case. But it should be Uncle Ye, oh, Ye Fengcheng, to take the position Gu Changjiang left. The old fox Huo Yan had offended my Second Uncle before, and he was reluctant to submit to the Wang family of Beihai. It will do him no good if Uncle Ye takes the post. That’s why he came running over here. He probably wanted to cozy up to us and join the Wang family of Beihai.”

Li Tianlan took a deep drag on his cigarette and opened his mouth after a long while. “Well, in that case, Huo Yan is the talent that you Wang family of Beihai needs very much? You didn’t give him a friendly enough signal just now. What if he can’t bear it and become a servant of Kunlun City?”

“He doesn’t have the guts.” Wang Yuetong said in a calm tone.

When analyzing the situation, the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai was unspeakably calm. “Uncle Ye is going to take the post, so what benefit will he get if he does so? But my attitude should make him give up on the promotion of Ice & Fire Special Operations Division. This old fox has been wanting to upgrade his operations division for many years. When Gu Changjiang was the man in charge, he was not trusted by him, so his wish fell through. This time is equally impossible.”

Li Tianlan glanced at her and chuckled. “What? Aren’t you guys trying to get him? Why did you do this to him?”

“Not us, it’s me.”

Wang Yuetong raised her little face and said calmly, “Actually, I know what my family plans to ask Huo Yan to do. If Huo Yan is willing to submit to us, my father and Second Uncle will probably let him go to Jiangnan to check Uncle Liu. Jiangnan Society has developed rapidly in recent years, becoming the largest civilian intelligence agency in the south. Uncle Liu may not be unfaithful, but after all, balance is needed. Huo Yan is the right man to go there. So if the Wang family use him, even if he will be asked to leave the Ice & Fire Special Operations Division, the means will be more moderate.”

After taking a deep look at Li Tianlan, she whispered, “But I’m going to tell Uncle Ye to expel Huo Yan from Huating Special Operations Bureau. I plan to give you this man.”

Li Tianlan was slightly moved. He looked up at Wang Yuetong.

Wang Yuetong was also looking at him, and her beautiful eyes blinked. There was tenderness and also anticipation in them.

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he was sorting Wang Yuetong’s words in mind.

“Huo Yan… One of the best intelligence agents in Zhongzhou State?”

“The Wang family of Beihai needs Huo Yan to check Liu Shuanghua from Jiangnan Society.”

“If Huo Yan is at my disposal, isn’t it a wonderful pawn that can balance Liu Xiuyuan and even the whole Liu family in the Curtain?”

Li Tianlan’s eyes were deep. For the first time since his arrival in Huating, his eyes, always quiet and gentle, began to twinkle with the brilliance of intrigue.

Wang Yuetong took two steps forward and, without waiting for Li Tianlan to respond, sat directly in his embrace.

As the soft and warm body was in his embrace, Li Tianlan suddenly came to his senses. Instead of pushing Wang Yuetong away at once, he unconsciously reached out and hugged her. His other hand fell on her waist completely instinctively. It then went down and naturally squeezed her buttocks.

Perhaps because the so-called ‘sisterhood’ between Wang Yuetong and Qin Weibai or some slight changes in Wang Yuetong, Li Tianlan had, consciously or unconsciously, relaxed the requirements of his own and coveted Wang Yuetong more and more.

He knew he was changing, getting more and more out of control.

But wasn’t Wang Yuetong changing?

If Wang Yuetong took her previous stance, she would not have this attitude when it came to the job fair, let alone making Huo Yan his subordinate. On the contrary, she would try to draw him into a special warfare agency that was close to the Wang family of Beihai and even try to make him join the Wang family.

But the current Wang Yuetong would only say one sentence from beginning to end.

“I’ll go wherever you go.”

Li Tianlan was short of breath. When he felt the amazing fullness and resilience through his hand, his hand was almost out of control. Subconsciously, it was going to slip into Wang Yuetong’s white tights.

Wang Yuetong’s body softened. Her face flushed as she pressed Li Tianlan’s hand and gave him the glad eye. She said with her shaking voice, “Rogue, Qingyan is still there.”

“Ahem.”

Instinctively, Li Tianlan let go of her, embarrassed.

“I…I’m going to cook.”

Yu Qingyan, who had been sitting there all the time and not talking as if she was invisible, suddenly got up and ran to the kitchen with a flushed face.

Wang Yuetong’s face grew rosy and inviting. She closed her eyes as Yu Qingyan’s figure disappeared and said softly, “It is okay now.”

Li Tianlan burst into laughter and patted her buttocks. “No hurry, what were you going to say just now?”

The little princess had no place to put her hidden bitterness when facing an unromantic man. She glared at Li Tianlan, threw her arms around his neck, and was silent for a while before she said, “I wanted to say that you should think about some things in the future. Just talk about me, Qingyan, Li Baitian, and Ning Qiancheng. We are now following you and we’ll go wherever you go. You may not know what that means yet, and maybe not everyone knows your potential, but because of Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng, I’m afraid that a continuous stream of special warfare agencies will soon invite you to join them. You’ve got to think about what you’re going to choose, and we’re up to you.”

Li Baitian, Ning Qiancheng, Wang Yuetong, and Yu Qingyan.

Li Tianlan.

If he himself was added, there would be five people in total.

Vaguely, this was already the shape of a special forces squad.

Li Tianlan put his arms around Wang Yuetong. Until this moment, he suddenly found that since his arrival to Huating, a small team had begun to operate around him. The team was small, but there was no denying that their prospects were bright.

The next step for the small team was something that Li Tianlan needed to think about carefully.

Li Tianlan breathed deeply and suddenly said, “If that Huo Yan can be used, then give him to me. He is of great use to me.”

“Don’t worry, I will go to Uncle Ye soon. As long as you can control the old fox, in the field of intelligence, he will be quite useful.”

Wang Yuetong sat in Li Tianlan’s embrace and bit his ear softly, laughing. “You have more than one pawn at your disposal now. You treat Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng as brothers, and they are willing to work for you. And Qingyan is the same.”

“Hmm… You still have my elder sister and me. Unlike them, we can be used by you both on the bed and out of the bed.”

She bit Li Tianlan’s earlobe and whispered in a hoarse, seductive voice, “Don’t you want to have a try? Brother-in-law?”
