“My own space shuttle?” Wang Zheng was taken aback. Everyone knew this was a “gift” from Aina in no time. Of course, they had to give a cooler name. Aslan also wanted to improve their relationship with Tita, especially since there was a “misunderstanding.”
Mu Sen didn’t care much about image, but it was still important when dealing with others on an international level. Not all countries were governed pragmatically. There were many other types, so decency was necessary. It was truly more convenient this way. Safety, performance, and other areas of consideration had to be eased with the increase in Mu Sen’s external visits.
Zhang Shan could only be green with envy now. He knew that he was about the lead the Saruman Snake battle team alone from now on.
Titatitan Star became a key planet of the Milky Way Alliance. With the initial completion of the new rare-mine route and a new pan-political alliance from Titatitan Star to Maklou, they now enjoyed a corresponding political status and influence.
Lan Kao City had undergone five expansions in less than two years. The scene of the old city was no more. The biggest change was the lessening of soldiers and the increase of urban residents.
“How is it?” Lan Ling smiled at Wang Zheng on the sofa on the second floor of a cafe. Wang Zheng was here mainly because of the establishment of the Saruman Snake Corps. He was still going low-profile. Lan Ling had a good grasp of Wang Zheng’s character.
Time had flown by too fast. The weary, young boy she had once rescued was now an existence that even she had to look up to. Once upon a time, she thought that Wang Zheng would come back to Tita if he couldn’t survive elsewhere. They could do anything they wanted here no matter what. The creation of this planet became a legend. However, not everything went according to plan. Wang Zheng had left too fast and too far. Lan Ling had no regrets having lost to Aina.
Wang Zheng smiled. “I almost can’t recognize Tita. The transformation is too huge.”
“It’s now a habit of the Lan Kao residents to use a map whenever they head out.”
The city, the planet, and the population were all changing. More immigrants were coming and they were no longer the poorer ones. Now, more prominent professionals were moving here.
Tita was developing rapidly with funds and policies in place, in addition to the excellent publicity.
“Lan lan lan!” The voice of a child came through the door as they continued their conversation about the changes of the future.
The door was opened and in came a pretty, young woman with a small child. She had a calm and happy smile on her face. “Miss Lan.”
“I told you to just call me ‘Lan Ling.’ Xiaoyan, let me introduce you, this is Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng, this is the widow and son of Tian Tang, Ms. Yan Jin and the little Tian Tang.”
Yan Jin sized Wang Zheng up seriously. “Mr. Wang Zheng, I know you, I watched SIG. Tian Tang said you are his confidant and the guardian of Tita. Little Tian, come and greet Uncle. Uncle Wang Zheng is someone important.”
The little kid looked at Wang Zheng with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
Wang Zheng had a very strange feeling. He held Little Tian’s small hand and the kid broke into a smile. Then he suddenly opened up his arms. “I want.”
Wang Zheng picked Little Tian up gently. Lan Ling and Yan Jin were shocked. Little Tian was wary of everyone, especially strangers. However, he had a strange liking for Wang Zheng.
“Little Tian, do you want to stay by Uncle’s side and learn something when you are older?”
He didn’t quite know how to express himself yet, but he did clench his fist. “I want to!”
Yan Jin’s tears rolled down her cheeks. It was unclear whether she was happy for her child or sad for her deceased husband.
Nothing was uncertain, but those alive had to continue moving forward to protect the future of the children…
War was like that. No one could do anything about it. Even Wang Zheng and Lan Ling could only walk on bravely. Lan Ling kept her promise and took care of it very well. Yan Jin left after a short chat. She knew there were things to be discussed between Wang Zheng and Lan Ling.
Sounds of an argument suddenly broke out.
A few people were surrounding Yan Jin.
“Miss Yan, I’m coming to your shop because I give you face. What, are you dodging us? Do you really not want to service us?”
“Yes, ain’t we clients? You need men to care for you and your child. Let us take care of you, haha.”
Yan Jin frowned. “Apologies, we are not open today because we have clients.”
Wang Zheng exchanged glances with Lan Ling. Lan Ling shook her head. “I wanted to bring her over to my place, but she wasn’t willing. She just wanted to accompany her child and allow him to grow peacefully.”
They weren’t in contact for long, but Wang Zheng could feel that Yan Jin had great inner strength even though she seemed soft on the outside. Tian Tang wouldn’t have changed for her if that wasn’t the case. The charm of a woman was formidable.
“Haha, you’ve finally understood and started taking in clients. Alright, we are clients too, take us in as well. These big brothers here will bring you to heaven with our techniques!”
These guys were unscrupulous and were problems brought in with the influx of people. Lan Ling’s main energy was focused on the coordination and integration of humans and Titans. She really didn’t have the energy to manage these thugs on the streets. It wasn’t their first time here either, but Yan Jin had never complained to her.
What a proud woman.
“You better leave, or else I’ll call the police. You should know that my store is under the charge of the police,” Yan Jin said calmly. That was also why these people continued to harass her.
Usually, a single woman would have caved if they were to scare her or threaten her a bit. However, Yan Jin didn’t take that.
The bald man amongst them took the lead and gave the other three a look. They surrounded her in no time. “Go ahead and report to the police. I want to see how you do that! Haha!”
This was a good place to take this chick down and tear down this cafe. They would be rich if they were to build a hotel instead.
Little Tian was only a little over a year old, but he neither screamed nor cried. Instead, he gave the bald man a death glare.
“Whadda you looking at, you punk? I’ll kick you to death!”
Yan Jin touched Little Tian’s face gently. “I suggest you go quietly. If not, don’t blame me for the consequences.”
“Haha, consequences? Do you know what I’m called around here? Big Brother Tie! I’m warning you, I’ll break anyone’s legs if they dare mess with me today,” Big Brother Tie shouted.
Da da da…
Wang Zheng and Lan Ling walked down the stairs. Wang Zheng gave a quick smile. “I’m sorry, I’ll be the one who breaks your legs today.”
