Zhou Ling addressed them with a smile in his eyes, explaining, âThis is General
Liao Junâs son, Liao Nai.â
Upon hearing Liao Junâs name, everyone present fell into silence. Even Gao Dian and Zhang Shuai, who had been causing a commotion earlier, ceased their activities. All eyes were fixed on the pink wolf cub that Liao Ning cradled.
Liao Nai felt uncomfortable being scrutinized by so many people. He sought refuge behind Liao Ning, revealing only a pair of clear eyes as he observed them.
Gao Dian loosened his grip on Zhang Shuai, allowing him to break free. With agility, Zhang Shuai approached Liao Nai in a few strides. He crouched down and gazed into the cubâs eyes.
âYou bear a striking resemblance to General Liao.â
Zhang Shuaiâs tone was familiar, as if he were discussing an old friend. This piqued Liao Naiâs curiosity about the connection between Zhang Shuai and his father. âDo you know my father?â
âOf course. When I was in the military academy, General Liao taught me a mecha class.â As Liao Jun and Zhang Shuai were mentioned, nostalgia gleamed in his eyes. âGeneral Liao is an exceptional mecha designer. Moreover, he excels in operating mechas. None of us could surpass him during our time there!â
âReally?!â Upon hearing of his fatherâs formidable skills, the wolf cubâs eyes instantly lit up, filled with admiration for his father.
Zhang Shuai smiled and continued, âAbsolutely. I still have a video of General Liaoâs demonstrations and battles against the Al. Would you like to watch it with me? Itâs saved on The Silver.â
Liao Nai rarely heard his father discuss his military life, so Zhang Shuaiâs proposal intrigued him greatly. He yearned to understand his father better.
Despite his intense desire, Liao Nai refrained from agreeing right away. He glanced up at Liao Ning.
Apart from his father, his aunt treated him with utmost care. He had to heed her guidance.
Liao Ning had been attentively observing Liao Nai. When she noticed his genuine interest in watching Liao Junâs video with Zhang Shuai, she nodded without hesitation, gently patting his head. âGo ahead. Iâll come find you later.â
âAlright!â
Upon Liao Ningâs agreement, Zhang Shuai eagerly attempted to hold Liao Nails hand, but the young cub evaded his touch.
Unaware that Liao Nai harbored trust issues towards strangers due to his motherâs influence, Zhang Shuai assumed it was merely a discomfort with being touched by unfamiliar individuals.
Zhang Shuai didnât feel disheartened by Liao Naiâs reluctance to hold his hand. He smiled casually and said, âThen you need to stay close to me!â
Liao Nai nodded in response without uttering a word. He simply followed closely behind Zhang Shuai, matching his every step.
After Zhang Shuai departed with Liao Nai, Gao Dian breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded to introduce the other team members to Liao Ning.
âThis guy with blue hair and blue eyes is Lan Yin. He handles intelligence work for our team.â
âHello.â Liao Ning shifted her gaze to where Gao Dian pointed. Lan Yin possessed an exquisite beauty that made her wonder if he were disguised as a girl.
Lan Yin greeted her with a gentle smile. âHello, Sister-in-law.â
Liao Ning hadnât anticipated such a stark contrast between Lan Yinâs appearance, which exuded lethal allure, and his gentle demeanor. Even without extensive interaction, she could sense his inherent kindness.
Recognizing Liao Ningâs thoughts, Zhou Ling decided to unveil Lan Yinâs secret.
âLan possesses human mermaid genes and excels at using disguises to gain othersâ trust.â
Being exposed by his boss didnât faze Lan Yin in the slightest. He continued to smile even more gently.
Enlightened by this revelation, Liao Ning praised him generously. âThatâs truly impressive. No wonder he handles intelligence.â
Gao Dian nodded and introduced the final team member to her. âThis is Quilin, who possesses the highest combat strength in our team. We all call him âNuclear Explosionâ
Resembling his nickname, Quilin sported fiery red hair, but his demeanor was contrasting. Liao Ning exchanged a casual greeting with him and referred to him as âsister-in-law.â She maintained her air of aloofness.
Once they boarded The Silver, Liao Ning leaned close to Zhou Ling and whispered, âYour team members are quite fascinating!â
Zhou Ling gazed affectionately at Liao Ning. âTheyâre all wonderful individuals whom I trust wholeheartedly.â
As soon as they arrived on The Silver, Liao Ning made her way to Zhang Shuaiâs lounge. Observing Liao Nai engrossed in watching the video, she curiously stood behind him and joined in.
After a while, Liao Nai noticed her presence and obediently called out, âAunt..â
