It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future 928 Running Away From Home!

Ling Xiao's request for a public hearing shocked the entire military. Some people wanted to stop him but it was Ling Xiao's right to do it. Most people remained silent in this matter but that didn't mean that they supported the people who reprimanded Ling Xiao. Thus, under such circ.u.mstances, Ling Xiao's request was approved quickly. An exciting conference was going to occur in the Federation soon.

Just like what Li Lanfeng had expected, most of the citizens of the Federation had good feelings towards Ling Xiao. Besides those people that were jealous of him, most citizens couldn't accept the fact that the law enforcement unit reprimanded Ling Xiao.

The conference was held as planned. The entire Federation was watching the conference. Anyone that was free would enter the virtual world and witness the conference for themselves.

During the conference, the law enforcement department started reprimanding Ling Xiao righteously for his illegal behaviour. Then, they told the public that the mecha operator Ling Lan, whom they admired and respected, was actually the son of Ling Xiao. They used this point to prove that Ling Xiao had secretly sent his G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha out to protect his son. Basically accusing him that everything he had done was for his personal gain.

He Xuyang was in charge of refuting the claims. He led his group of advisers and used the result approach to refute their claims. No matter what they claim, they should look at the results first. Did General Ling Xiao cause any anger or losses to the Federation due to his illegal actions?

The procurators were speechless when all the results were laid out before them. If it wasn't for the G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha, the bases on Planet Haijiao would all be annihilated. The reinforcements would be in a dire position and the result would be the loss of close to 700 million soldiers. Of course, Ling Xiao's illegal act harmed one person, and that was his son, Lieutenant Colonel Ling Lan.

Very soon, Ling Lan's diagnosis was thrown out. His spiritual power was exhausted and his potential was at the negatives now. His body was injured badly and his physical condition was now at the lowest grade, G. These results meant that even if Ling Lan managed to recover, he wouldn't be able to go back to being an imperial operator anymore. He could at most become an advanced mecha warrior.

This diagnosis came from the hands of many experts and military doctors from the military hospital. The most advanced medical equipment was also used to scan Ling Lan's body to make sure that the results were true. (Little Four couldn't do anything to humans but he could easily handle the lowly medical equipment.)

Ling Xiao's actions saved 600 million soldiers but harmed his only son. It also caused the Federation to lose a potential G.o.d-cla.s.s operator and also caused the idol of the Federation to lose his only heir. Could this be said as personal gain?

He Xuyang's questions caused the citizens' hearts to waver. That's right, if Ling Xiao did it for his personal gains, he could have asked Ling Lan to leave with the G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha. Based on how powerful a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha was, Ling Lan could definitely escape from Planet Haijiao by himself. After that, Ling Lan would still have a bright future ahead of himself and Ling Xiao wouldn't have to be called to account for those crimes too.

However, Ling Lan used his own strength to defend the base during the battle on Planet Haijiao. He jumped and fought with the enemy for 20 minutes using a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha. He defended the base until reinforcements arrived, but one foot of his was in the grave now.

The citizens of the Federation thought about the news they had heard on Ling Lan's dire conditions (This was Li Lanfeng's doing. Little Four helped him a little too). This was enough to prove that Ling Lan was prepared to live or die with the base. If the reinforcements didn't come, Ling Lan would have died in battle.

The citizens were touched by Ling Lan's selfless actions. They couldn't control their emotions anymore, and they made their final decisions. They proclaimed Ling Xiao as innocent. The votes flooded the mainframe of the military, so much so it almost crashed the mainframe.

The support for Ling Xiao climbed higher and higher. More than 80% of the citizens supported Ling Xiao. The law enforcement department knew that they had failed. In the end, they lost to public opinion. Just like what Li Lanfeng had said, battles always emphasize on results. If the result was better than normal, the public would support and accept the decision. In addition to that, Ling Xiao had a good reputation among the public. With the help of Ling Lan's selfless act, Ling Xiao would never lose this public hearing.

Ling Xiao wasn't beaten in this crisis. Instead, his position in the hearts of the public rose greatly. This caused many higher authorities of the military to be on their guard against him.

However, Ling Lan didn't care about what happened after that. She was recovering well. But, she was unable to handle the care and concern from her mother anymore.

After Ling Lan got better, her mother changed her attention from her health to her love life. She was very interested in the two daughter-in-laws Ling Qin had told her about. She kept pestering Ling Lan and asked her to let her meet her daughters-in-law. Ling Lan was speechless. 'Was I too successful in disguising as a man? Did my mother forget that I'm a lady too?'

Lan Luofeng didn't forget about this. While Ling Xiao had his bottom line regarding the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, Lan Luofeng had no baseline. She would support any decision made by her daughter. Hence, even if her daughter was gay, she would support her too. If Ling Xiao didn't agree, Ling Lan didn't even need to persuade him. Lan Luofeng would do it for her.

Ling Lan told Lan Luofeng that she had no choice but to 'marry' the two ladies at that time. It wasn't real and she would solve this matter in the future. Lan Luofeng was disappointed so she started asking Ling Lan if she took a fancy on any men. Sometimes, she would even a.n.a.lyze the young officers in 250 Ace Mecha Clan along with Ling Nanyi and pick the one that was most suitable for her daughter. Ling Lan felt stressed by all these conversations. She was afraid that her mother would suddenly gift her a few men wrapped like presents in her bedroom one day.

'Let's hide from her!' In the face of the constant stress from Lan Luofeng, Ling Lan decided to pack her bags and run away from home.

"Ling Xiao, sob, our daughter sent us a message to say that she ran away from home." Lan Luofeng came to find Ling Xiao the moment she received the message.

Actually, Ling Lan had already told Ling Xiao that she wanted to run away from home. Ling Xiao was against the decision for any men to be matched with Ling Lan too. However, he didn't dare to reject his wife directly. Thus, he was happy when Ling Lan wanted to leave the house. He was afraid that one day, when he comes back from work, his daughter wouldn't be his anymore.

Thus, without reminding Lan Luofeng, Ling Lan sneaked out of the house with the help from Ling Xiao.
