ARIWATM Chapter 101

Praying Mantis Pounce on Cicada

After living with Lin You for a while, Lin Zimao made sure that Lin Yu’s condition had stabilized, and brought Jiaoyan back with him.

Haven’t shown up at school for a while, the students in the class are very curious, even the students who lived in the school’s forum missed Lin Zimao very much, the forum without Lin Zimao seems to be less interesting.

They are very curious now, did Jiang Xian and Lin Zimao make it?

Why is this pursuit post has not been updated.

The lonely students began to rush for updates, which was also quite boring.

At this time, how could Lin Zimao still have fun, after returning home, he and Jiang Xuan were so sticky, didn’t bother to care about outside matters.

After not seeing each other for many days, it was thunder from the sky and fire from the earth1天雷勾地火 (tiān léi gōu de huǒ): Describe a very scary natural force; also often borrowed in romance novels, when used together, it often refers to the irresistible primitive instinctive desires that nature has given to humans; describe abundance of passion and sexual energy., the two of them spent their weekends in bed.

The next morning, he stayed in bed decisively, didn’t want to go to class.

Jiang Xuan pinched his cheek: “Student Lin, if you don’t get up, you’ll be late.”

Lin Zimao grabbed his hand and put it on his face, tilting his head to press it.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to hold his head, let him get up, Lin Zimao leaned into his arms, and had no intention of getting up at all.

Jiang Xuan said: “You’ve never stayed in bed with the general.”

Lin Zimao muttered: “Isn’t it because I have to worry about his health every day, have to get up early to keep an eye on him, but here, I don’t have to do that, I have a good senior who I like best!”

Jiang Xuan: “Okay, then do you want your senior to hand you some mouthwash?”

Lin Zimao nodded: “Yes.”

Jiang Xuan picked him up and put him in the bathroom: “Be good, wash yourself, the eggs I boiled will be ready soon.”

Being forced to get up, Lin Zimao had no choice but to wash up and eat breakfast.

He returned to his school life mode.

Jiang Xuan was in a bit of a hurry when doing everything today.

As soon as Lin Zimao bit into the freshly peeled egg, he saw that he was already wearing a communicator: “Are you busy today?”

After the communicator was stuck on his wrist, Jiang Xuan picked up his coat again, and kissed the side of Lin Zimao’s face.

“Um, my dad just called and said that my great-grandfather is hospitalized, I have to go see him.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

“No need for now, the hospital said not to let too many people in and interfere, after I confirm the situation, you can go.”

“That’s fine, I’ll probably cause more trouble if I go.”

Not many people knew that they were together, and he didn’t want to explain.

It’s just that Jiang Qi getting sick at this juncture is quite unexpected.

No, that’s not right. It seems like Jiang Qi has been wanting to retire early due to health reasons, but he hasn’t done so yet.

Probably because he know that the person behind the scenes is 90% likely to be Jiang Qi, now that he’ve learned about his hospitalization, he can’t quite describe his feeling.

Why would Jiang Qi be the mastermind behind the scenes?

In fact, after so many things have happened, they were already certain.

Lin You should pay attention to real evidence2真憑實據 (zhēn píng shí jù): reliable evidence (idiom); conclusive proof; definitive evidence; true and credible evidence. before confirming Lin Zimao’s guess.

Then how did Lin Zimao guess it?

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the truth, Lin Zimao thought back and forth for several rounds, and put everyone he met into the circle of suspicion, and ruled them out one by one.

The first to be ruled out was Arquez, as early as the early days of the Alliance, he was assigned to a high position because of his outstanding abilities, his family background was not bad, he was a well-known gentleman, and he also had excellent academic qualifications, because of the war, he had to leave college and go to the battlefield, he has always admired Lin You, when something happened to Lin You, he immediately set out to inquire about his whereabouts despite everyone’s objections, but at that time he had not yet become president and his abilities were limited.

The second to be ruled out was Yang Ming, after multiple interactions, every time he sees Lin You, he was very emotionally unstable, later, Lin Zimao had a little gossip with the adjutant, and combined with his current behavior, it turned out that this man had always been unrequitedly in love with his father, there is no way he would do anything to hurt Lin You just because he couldn’t get what he wanted, in the past, he has always taken care of Lin You in their daily lives, Lin You himself felt that he is the most straightforward and blunt among the five of them, if he likes something, he likes it, if he doesn’t, he doesn’t, his emotions are written all over his face, and he doesn’t like to play games with hidden intentions.

The third is Peng Jiashang, who is the opposite of Yang Ming, he has always been calm and self-reliant, and obviously will not do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself.

Jiang Qi is the only one who behaves differently.

It should be said, he acted too close, and he was also the first one to jump out.

Lin Zimao remembered that after he exposed Lin You, the first person who approached him was Jiang Qi.

Later, after Lin You’s return, the first person who asked him to meet him was also Jiang Qi.

Qi Jinghe also investigated, regarding the decision about Lin You in the parliament, although Jiang Qi himself voted for ‘make public’, but the congressmen close to him voted against it, although it was done very carefully, but it is not difficult to see, there is Jiang Qi’s handiwork in this.

Back then, Jiang Qi was also a famous mecha designer, if not for Lin You, he would also designed many mechas, but with Lin You as a backdrop, he would’ve lost his previous lustre and brilliance.

The Jiang family’s mecha manufacturing company was also founded by him many years ago, later, after he entered the political arena, he directly delegated power to his children, and no longer in charge, after all, this mecha manufacturing company had already brought a lot of benefits to the Jiang family.

Combined with the fact that Jiang Xuan’s mother married Jiang’s father, there must be another reason for this, it’s just that Qi Jinghe did not reveal it directly to him, but Lin Zimao guessed that the Qi family had already infiltrated the Jiang family, and they were also secretly investigating Lin You’s frame-up.

Lin You actually made the plan a long time ago, perhaps he knew it was Jiang Qi long ago, but he had been friends for many years and couldn’t bear it? Or maybe he doesn’t care anymore because he hasn’t decided to return to the Alliance.

But now he wanted to pave the way for Lin Zimao, so he came back to settle matters.

After thinking about all this, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion.

Lin You came back, Jiang Qi was anxious, but he always thought that Lin You was gone long ago, so he could only start with Lin Zimao.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zimao did not know Lin You’s whereabouts, and Jiang Qi was not sure about the relationship between Lin Zimao and Lin You.

Now, it’s clear at a glance3一目了然 (yī mù liǎo rán): obvious at a glance (idiom); clear at first glance..

Now is the calm before the storm.

After Jiang Xuan went out, Lin Zimao was also ready to go back to school obediently.

However, as soon as he picked up his schoolbag, and before he went out, Suanrong sounded the alarm.

“Lao Da, there are outsiders invading our house, there is no license plate number, it is impossible to clearly identify the appearance of the person in the car.”

Lin Zimao threw down his backpack, he stood back, away from the door.

The next moment, his door was blasted open by military weapons, fortunately, Suanrong turned on the defense mode and covered Lin Zimao with an air film.

Lin Zimao rolled to the side!

He pressed a few buttons on the communicator on his wrist, connecting it to his mecha.

The old box in the room opened automatically, and a set of thin mecha covered Lin Zimao’s body in the next moment.

The other party did not intend to waste time with Lin Zimao in the first place, he chased him directly into the house and opened fire on him.

Lin Zimao rushed upstairs, and then flew out of the window, but there was obviously a group of people waiting for him outside, artillery rounds flew towards Lin Zimao’s chest, and Suanrong returned to the mecha.

Suanrong: “I have evaded and notified Lin You.”

Lin Zimao: “Good boy, Jiang Qi sent people to catch me.”

Suanrong: “Dad, you are so miserable, your husband just left.”

Lin Zimao: “It’s good that he has left, otherwise, wouldn’t he have cried to death after knowing the truth.”

Suanrong: “I believe he is more willing to be on your side, Jiang Qi is an old man, and he’s still a few generations away from him, if it were me, I’d choose you too. By the way, I have been connected to Lin You’s AI.”

Lin Zimao ignored its chatter4貧 (pín): lit. poor; T/N: In this instance, it could mean very talkative, have a glib tongue, have a poor (dirty) mouth, etc.: “Lin You’s side should be in trouble too, tell Lin You I’m fine, fighting is what I’m best at.”

Suanrong: “Naughty5猴 (hóu): lit. monkey; ape; naughty child; (Min Nan) male paramour; (dialectal) to lean on someone; to pester someone; (dialectal) to squat like a monkey; (dialectal) naughty; clever; (Min Nan) skinny and dark-skinned; ugly as a monkey..”

In the middle of the chat, Lin Zimao kicked a mecha that was close to him to the ground, he urgently called out the J9999 that Jiang Xuan gave him, with four mechas fighting against two mechas, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

As the artillery rounds were all capable of destroying people in minutes, Lin Zimao didn’t dare to be careless.

He then notified Wang Yunuo, who lived next door.

The four people who received the signal were also busy, there were quite a few people surrounding them, and more than a dozen mechas were deployed.

But all of them were well-prepared, and each of them was equipped with their own mecha.

Wang Yunuo: “Report.”

Miao Miao was furious: “I’m not even done with my makeup yet!”

Teng Fei cries: “I haven’t even had breakfast yet!”

Wen Li was excited: “The fight has finally started!”

Lin Zimao immediately ordered: “Lead them to the school’s mecha training base.”

The first thing they did when they lived here was to observe the surrounding terrain, to ensure Lin Zimao’s safety, sure enough, his safety was threatened.

After the five people gathered together, the enemy has added ten more mechas, the models were all easy to recognize, and Suanrong scanned them all.

There are seven mechas on their side, one of which is controlled by Suanrong, so it wasn’t too difficult to deal with more than twenty mechas.

They are in an urban area now, and there is a possibility of hurting other people’s lives at any time.

The mecha training ground, and also where they had their military training, was a vast area with few people6地廣人稀 (dì guǎng rén xī): vast territory with a sparse population; vast but thinly/sparsely populated., which was perfect for shooting down this mecha.

Facing the opponent’s attack, Lin Zimao thought of a countermeasure immediately.

It seems that the other party didn’t expect that Lin Zimao and the other children were so well prepared, they chased after them directly, determined to complete the task from above.

But they didn’t realize that Lin Zimao’s team would be invincible as soon as they gathered together.

The mechas flew extremely fast, the students at Feige University rushed to the classroom at the school bell, they looked up and saw dozens of mechas whizzing past their heads, there was even the sound of artillery rounds in the air, the students thought the school had some kind of training today, which was a bit spectacular.

It looks very exciting.

Never seen it before!

Didn’t they say that dangerous weapons are not allowed in schools?

What’s going on now?

The school’s security department immediately activated the protective shield!

This isn’t a training exercise, this is a real mecha battle!

Oh my God, what the hell is going on?

At this time, Lin Zimao and others had already brought the other side into the school, and in this short period of time, Lin Zimao also asked Qi Jinghe for the relevant authorization for the school’s airspace, and rushed directly into the school’s protective shield.

Their six mechas belong to the friendly side, while the other dozens of mechas were all enemies, Lin Zimao and the school’s protective mechas went on the offensive against the other side!

The leader of the enemy’s mecha followed closely behind Lin Zimao.

Lin Zimao easily dodged the opponent’s attack, turned around in the air, and shot it down to the ground when the other party paused for a second!

He stepped heavily on the opponent’s mecha’s chest, and used brute force to remove the opponent’s mecha’s mask, Suanrong scanned the person’s face, and immediately found relevant information in the database.

Suanrong: “He is a member of the Serial Number Space Pirates Group.”

Lin Zimao: “It seems that Jiang Qi is really anxious.”

Boom boom boom, ten minutes later, the team led by Lin Zimao won this battle.

Lin Zimao stepped out of his mecha, he stared at the space pirate lying on the ground, stepped on his opponent’s chest, and laughed coldly.

The school’s surveillance camera actually recorded this scene.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan, who had just gotten into the car, discovered that J9999, which he shared the authority with, had actually been activated, the communicator records J9999’s driving direction and weapon usage!

He was about to stop the car and turn around, but found that the flying car had been controlled by others.

Someone got into the car and put a particle gun against his forehead: “Master Jiang Xuan, please go to the hospital to ‘visit’ Minister Jiang.”

Jiang Xuan felt cold in his heart: “What do you mean?”

The other party said: “Your partner is a member of the Serial Number Space Pirates Group, and we need to arrest him.”

Jiang Xuan, whose whole body was cold, stared at the other party coldly: “He’s not!”

But the other party ignored him.

Jiang Xuan already knows what’s going on.
