BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 - 93: Plan
The series of events seemed too coincidental to Liao Ning. Yu Ni’s request, the mission to bring down the Wei family, and the battle where Liao Jun was injured all seemed to be pushing her towards the political and military center of the capital planet. Doubts about the system’s origin arose in her mind.
Unaware of Liao Ning’s thoughts, Zhou Ling continued to explain the origin of the nebula. “This nebula emerged after the battle involving the renowned ‘Twilight Nebula’ of the alliance. Consequently, the researchers studying the nebula categorized it as part of the ‘Twilight Nebula’ group.”
Liao Ning sneered, ” ‘Twilight Nebula’… a hero past his prime. They certainly lack creativity when it comes to naming. ”
Liao Nai felt deep sadness upon hearing Zhou Ling’s account. He hadn’t anticipated that his father would return to the remote Blue Planet with regret due to the Wei family’s mistake.
“Aunt… I feel so sorry for Daddy… my heart aches for those innocent soldiers,” Liao Nai sobbed, tightly hugging Liao Ning’s waist. “I despise the Wei family so much… I…
Liao Ning’s heart ached as she squatted down, embracing him and gently patting his back. “Nai Nai, all of this is in the past. If you feel sorrow for Dad and the soldiers who sacrificed themselves, then you must make yourself stronger. When you have the ability to protect others, the people you care about will also lead safe and happy lives under your wings.”
Liao Ning didnt want him to be consumed by hatred towards the Wei family, becoming an evil villain driven solely by vengeance.
“But…” Liao Nai sobbed, looking up at Liao Ning.
“No ‘buts.’ There are many things in the world that are far more important than hatred. For instance, ensuring the people of the Alliance are shielded from war. Your father joined the army with such an ideal. As his son, I hope you can have your own ideals and not become someone consumed by revenge.”
Liao Ning caressed his head and spoke softly, “I will seek revenge. I won’t let those wicked individuals go unpunished. Trust me, Nai Nai.”
Liao Nai remained in a daze, staring at her for a long while before snapping back to reality. He nestled his head in her arms and exclaimed with determination, “I believe in you, Aunt!”
Liao Ning smiled softly, impressed by Liao Nai’s sensibility. “Just as I expected from my Nai Nai. You’re so wise.”
Zhou Ling silently accompanied the two of them. Once the wolf cub had cried himself to sleep, Zhou Ling carefully lifted him from Liao Ning’s embrace and took him back to the lounge.
Covering Liao Nai with a blanket, Zhou Ling advised, “You should get some rest too.”
Liao Ning inquired, “And what about you?”
“I need to go to the control room, ” Zhou Ling replied.
Liao Ning didn’t want to dwell on the Wang family with him any longer. “I’ll come with you. We can continue the conversation we left unfinished last time.” “Good idea,” Zhou Ling agreed.
Upon reaching the control room, they found only Marshal Zhang on duty. The others had gone to rest.
“Boss, Sister-in-law,” Zhang Shuai promptly stood up to greet them. “Carry on. I need to talk to Liao Ning,” Zhou Ling gestured for him to continue monitoring the starship’s movements while he took Liao Ning aside to converse.
Liao Ning initiated the discussion. “How do you plan to handle the Wang family?”
“The Wang family, just like the Zhou family, holds significant influence within the military. Unless their actions directly threaten the Alliance’s safety, it’s extremely difficult for the higher- ups to take action against them. At most, they will handle it delicately, similar to what occurred with the Wei family previously,” Zhou Ling explained.
Liao Ning understood the reality of the situation. “Zou Xu mentioned earlier that the Wang and Wei families collaborated. The third son of the Wang family even married the second daughter of the Wei family. Could it be that the Wei and Wang families have been plotting against the Zhou family?”
“I hadn’t considered that possibility before. Maybe…” Zhou Ling paused, deep in thought, and then hugged Liao Ning with surprise. “Ningning, you’re incredibly astute!”
Liao Ning was taken aback by the sudden hug, her cheeks flushing involuntarily. “I’m glad I could assist you. At this point, the crucial thing is to utilize the collaboration between the Wei family and the Wang family. We can use it to send counterfeit mental strength potions to the military, putting pressure on the Wang family to track down your brother and sister-in-law..”
