Capítulo 2285: Chapter 2285: Who Do You Want to Eliminate?

Wu Haijun glanced at them, said nothing more, and strode away.

The other officers saluted Li Haiyang and followed Wu Haijun, running at a fast pace.

“They treat me like the plague, avoiding me at all costs!” Li Haiyang laughed, then mischievously said to Luo Ziling, “Daring to act so recklessly in front of them, it’s probably just the two of us. Before us, no one would have dared to do this. I guess you’re not afraid to be here either. Just as I thought, I didn’t misjudge you!”

With that, Li Haiyang gave Luo Ziling a heavy pat on the back twice.

“Where’s Ouyang Feifei?” Luo Ziling quietly asked Li Haiyang, “She should have arrived earlier than me!”

“They won’t trouble her. After all, she’s a girl and hasn’t done anything against the rules.” Li Haiyang laughed again, “I guess she’s already waiting for us outside. Just not sure if they’ve finished questioning her about the Phoenix situation!”

Speaking of the Phoenix situation, Li Haiyang sighed.

From Li Haiyang’s sigh, Luo Ziling could sense that some of the things Phoenix had done might really be used against her. If not, Phoenix wouldn’t be coming here for the second time to ‘explain’ things.

But he didn’t point this out.

Walking outside, after stepping down the stairs, Li Haiyang stopped, smiling at Luo Ziling, “When I first saw you, I felt you weren’t an ordinary person. A twenty-year-old young man can keep a straight face in front of me. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, you’ve stirred up Yanjing. Your mother surely didn’t anticipate this, nor did others think such a thing would happen. However, you’ll be in the spotlight for years to come; you must be careful!”

“Thank you for the advice, senior. I will always be cautious!” Luo Ziling sincerely thanked him.

As they spoke, Luo Ziling saw Ouyang Feifei, dressed in a casual short outfit, walking towards them from the parking area.

Today, Ouyang Feifei was not wearing a coat but a loose short-sleeved T-shirt and casual pants, her hair tied in a ponytail, completely different from her usual elegant attire, looking very much like the girl next door.

“I’m fine now!” After greeting Luo Ziling and Li Haiyang, Ouyang Feifei prepared to leave, “I have things to attend to in the company; I want to go back early.”

“Then you go ahead!” Luo Ziling smiled, “I will treat the senior to lunch.”

Li Haiyang just nodded slightly and didn’t speak to Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t say much either. After saying goodbye to Luo Ziling and Li Haiyang, she left by car.

“This granddaughter of Ouyang Lingyun is quite something.” Li Haiyang turned to look at Luo Ziling, with a slight smile, “Your luck with women isn’t bad, getting the attention of so many outstanding women. But, as a man aiming to achieve great things, don’t be burdened by emotional matters.”

“Thank you for the guidance, senior. I will keep it in mind!” Luo Ziling thanked him once again.

Li Haiyang glanced at Luo Ziling, knowing he didn’t take the latter part of his advice seriously, but he didn’t say much more.

After a little while, Phoenix also came out.

Today, Phoenix was also wearing a military uniform.

It must be said, a beautiful woman in a military uniform has a unique charm.

Luo Ziling actually liked seeing Phoenix and Lin Lan, these beautiful women, in military uniforms. However, they usually wear civilian clothes, which made him a bit regretful. He’s seen Lin Lan in a military uniform a few times, but seeing Phoenix in one seemed to be the first time.

Thinking seriously, Luo Ziling realized it was indeed the first time; he couldn’t recall seeing her in a military uniform before.

With the hot weather, Phoenix’s uniform was long-sleeved but still a summer outfit. She had a great figure, energetic and with a beautiful face, making it hard for Luo Ziling not to take a few more glances.

“How was it?” After Phoenix saluted him, Li Haiyang asked quietly.

“Nothing much!” Phoenix replied softly, not looking at Luo Ziling.

Li Haiyang didn’t say anything more.

After the three of them left the courtyard, they prepared to find a place nearby for lunch.

There were quite a few restaurants near this courtyard, mostly run by military dependents.

In fact, that area outside was also military land; outsiders couldn’t enter.

Many of the restaurant customers were military personnel from nearby.

This was a form of support for military dependents. There was a cafeteria in the courtyard, but some people occasionally came here to eat, especially when family members visited, as they definitely wouldn’t eat in the cafeteria, they’d come here instead.

When the three of them entered, several people in military dress were already eating.

Seeing Li Haiyang with generals’ stars on his shoulder and Phoenix with two stripes and three stars walk in, they quickly got up and saluted.

Li Haiyang and Phoenix returned the salute and went directly into a private room.

“This incident, you’re more likely to get into trouble,” after sitting down in the private room, Li Haiyang pointed at Luo Ziling, “because Ziling has his grandfather and mother to protect him, while you have no one else besides me to protect you. You’re a competent soldier, but many times you don’t know how to adapt. You should learn from Ziling in this respect.”

“I think she’s already doing well enough!” Luo Ziling looked at Phoenix with a meaningful gaze, his eyes slightly teasing.

Phoenix glared at Luo Ziling, saying nothing.

Soon, the dishes were brought in.

During the meal, only Luo Ziling and Li Haiyang talked, but they didn’t discuss any confidential matters.

Li Haiyang invited Luo Ziling to visit his home sometime.

“I heard you’re going to the Northwest during the summer break? You’ll be away from Yanjing for a few months, so before you leave, you’ll need to treat my illness properly; it’s been a while!” Li Haiyang smiled at Luo Ziling, “We’ll have a drink then.”

“Sure!” Luo Ziling agreed readily, knowing that it was only when alone with Li Haiyang that he would discuss critical matters, “Before I go to the Northwest, I will definitely come to treat you once more, senior.”

Li Haiyang smiled and didn’t say anything further.

Near the end of the meal, Li Haiyang continued, “You all can go back together later.”

Luo Ziling and Phoenix nodded.

The three of them ate quickly, finishing the meal in less than fifteen minutes after the dishes were served.

After finishing the meal, the three left the private room, paid the bill, and departed.

Li Haiyang left first, and Luo Ziling and Phoenix watched him leave before they did.

While getting into the car Phoenix was driving, Luo Ziling asked with a smile, “Will someone be tracking us?”

“No!” Phoenix shook her head, “They wouldn’t dare!”

“That’s true, tracking you would be a fool’s errand,” Luo Ziling joked, then directly asked Phoenix, “Here’s a question you have to answer: Who do you want to get rid of?”

This question made Phoenix’s hand on the steering wheel tremble slightly.
