O Pretends to be B For The Violent Admiral

6 - The Ruthless Admiral

The Director also heard what Lucas said. He was shocked by the Admiral and couldn’t regain his senses for a while.

“This…” The Old Director slowed down and said, “That’s right, we suspect that there may be something wrong with the sample.”

“How does your Research Institute do things!” Lucas was dissatisfied: “I gave you the sample and you’re supposed to find answers. It’s that simple, how can there be problems?”

“Maybe there was a problem in the process of transfer, or maybe we mixed up the sample by mistake when we were testing, but the latter possibility is very small. After receiving the samples, our Research Institute would have launched an A-level alert, and the security system is very strict.” The Director said: “Now, we can only investigate each possibility one by one.”

The Captain immediately answered: “The handover was even more unlikely to go wrong! I received the sample t from the Admiral. It never left my hand, and then I personally handed the sample to the director.”

The director frowned slightly: “I will investigate the surveillance footage, as well as the entry and exit of all laboratory personnel from the past two days.”

Lucas said: “Hurry up.”

Luo Ran paused and said to Lucas, “Admiral, even if there is something wrong with DNA, it doesn’t matter. There are other key investigations we have, such as the hotel. The clues found in DNA are limited after all.”

Luo Ran said in his heart, to let go of the matter regarding the sample.

All in all, this trip was totally useless. If the Research Institute couldn’t find any clues, it would lead to another dead end.

“Who the hell was it? That can change the sample without anyone knowing?” On the way back, Lucas said: “It doesn’t seem to be such a simple thing.”

The Captain was sitting in the front, and Luo Ran sat in the back seat with Lucas. Luo Ran used this time to read some official documents.

Lucas sneered: “I’m becoming more and more intrigued. Who is that person? That dares to make me look like a fool, I won’t stop until I find them.”

“Luo Ran, are you listening to me?”

Luo Ran lowered his eyes: “Yeah”

Luo Ran still held the official document in his hand with a smile, and said: “Admiral don’t worry, I’m sure there will be a solution.”

Lucas paused.

“Yeah.”

After returning to the company, Luo Ran originally thought that there was nothing serious but he was suddenly called to the temporary meeting.

——A new ore sample was sent by the Luobing Country

Speaking of this ore, Lucas was originally just an admiral who went into battle and managed the Imperial Army. 

Later, Lucas led the Empire in conquering the surrounding small countries, one of which was Luobing*.

    *Loubing- Falling Ice Kingdom. 

    As its name suggests, Luobing is the land of ice and snow. It is cold all year long, so there is a constant shortage of food, this was also one of the reasons why they started a war. 

    Lucas conquered Luobing, then founded a logistics company under the Imperial Government and the round table*. 

*round table- a conference for discussion or deliberation by several participants*

    Luobing lacks food, while the advanced Empire lacks fuel, and Luobing is rich in Ice Ore. 

    As long as the Ice Ore mined from the Ice Cave is sent to the Empire, it can be refined into precious fuel, which is then used by factories, machinery, and mechas. It has extraordinary value. 

    So Lucas’s company is responsible for transporting money, Ice Ore, and food between the two countries. 

    The company is not so much a company, but more of an armed force. It was merged with Lucas’s army and Military Headquarters. In order to avoid any goods being robbed by star bandits on the way, or preventing anyone with bad intentions getting the Ice Ore, all shipments are escorted by the army.

    It can be said that this is the lifeblood of Luobing and the Empire. 

    The lifeblood is protected by Lucas, the most powerful sword and shield of the Empire. 

    “For the sample, this time the Research Institute at Luobing named the unknown ore UNK01.” A fat man was holding a stack of documents on the conference room table. 

    Unknown 01, is the new ore that was just discovered in the Ice Cave, which may have many unknown possibilities.

    The surface was rough with bumps, but also smooth and has a shiny surface.It was similar to the Ice Ores, which had a silver-white stone-like icey appearance;, but unlike other Ice Ores, this UNK01 had blood-red lines running across the surface, which looks weird and beautiful. 

    Lucas sat in the main seat with his arms folded across his chest and legs crossed, frowning at the stone. 

    Luo Ran asked: “This sample has been sent to the Empire?” 

    “Yes, it is expected that it will arrive at the institute the day after tomorrow. Luobing’s Diplomatic Ambassador will also bring a team of experts to escort Her Royal Highness, Princess Luobing and His Royal Highness.” 

    “……The Royal Family?” Luo Ran asked, “Why are they coming for?”

    The Minister paused and replied: “To come and marry the Admiral.” 

    “…” 

    Bump–! 

 Lucas slapped the table and angrily shouted : “Say it again?!” The Minister trembled, and he tearfully looked at Luo Ran for help.

    Luo Ran asked: “Why is Luobing suddenly asking for marriage?” 

    “This… Luobing’s Ambassador hasn’t arrived yet, so I don’t know.” 

    “Let the Royal Family go back.” Lucas said: “I am not a garbage collection site.”

    The Minister opened his mouth and tearfully looked at Luo Ran again. 

    Luo Ran calmly said: “What the Admiral said is correct. The Admiral is the backbone of the Empire, he is not a mere pawn that can be used for the sake of political gain or convenience. In any case, further discussion will have to wait until the Ambassador and the Royal Family to arrive. 

""

    Minister: “Yes! Understood.”

    Lucas paused, did he mean that? 

    Probably. 

    It was already dark by the time the meeting ended, and Luo Ran had to stay overnight again. 

    The white tea incense in the room had been refilled and the air conditioner was turned on, the air was filled with Lucas’s pheromone.

    Everything was comfortable, even though Luo Ran had been trying hard not to indulge himself.

    Luo Ran sat on the sofa, read some official documents, and arranged tomorrow’s schedule before going to bed. 

    After reading a few copies, he suddenly smelled the smell of motor oil coming from the bathroom. 

    Luo Ran had a faint guess of what Lucas was doing. 

    “Admiral.” Luo Ran closed the document lightly and said: “Should I help you? It may not be convenient for you to do it yourself.” 

    “Yes.” 

    Luo Ran asked Lucas to sit down, and he took the bottle of motor oil. 

    Lucas hasn’t started applying yet, he just opened the lid. 

    Looking at Luo Ran, Lucas took off his gloves. 

    Lucas always wears black leather gloves, which match his military uniform that he constantly wears. Everyone has long been used to it. 

    It’s just that Lucas refuses to take it off in public. 

    At this moment, he saw that the hand that was not covered by the glove was incomplete. 

    The index and middle finger of the left hand were missing. Instead, there were silver mechanical fingers in its place. The implanted mechanical joints are distinct and can be manipulated slightly by the owner. The right hand was even more serious. The last three fingers were mechanical. 

     In addition, there were old scars on the back and palm of his hand. It was obvious that one of his fingers was also lost due to the accident.

    This was one of the wounds left from the battlefield. Luo Ran never asked how it happened.

    Luo Ran moistened the cloth with machine oil, and carefully rubbed each of Lucas’s mechanical fingers, lubricating the joints.

    Luo Ran’s movements were very gentle, his expression was focused and serious, he was careful not to touch Lucas’s skin. After all, Lucas didn’t like physical contact with others. 

    Lucas lowered his head slightly, he could see Luo Ran’s long soft silver hair and thin eyelashes. There was also a mole on the corner of his eye, and his thin lips were gently pressed together. Luo Ran had a serious expression on his face as he handled Lucas’s hands with care.

    His secretary was always serious, no matter what he was doing. 

    “It’s not necessary.” Lucas said: “It doesn’t hurt.” 

    Luo Ran gave a soft “um”. 

    Lucas’s weapons and mechas were all oiled and maintained by Luo Ran. Luo Ran was already proficient with this, and it was not the first time to help Lucas this way; but he still felt nervous every time and couldn’t help being cautious.

    After a few minutes, every mechanical finger was properly oiled and shiny. Luo Ran got up, took a few steps back and said: “It’s done.” 

    Lucas went to bed to rest, but Luo Ran was still reading the papers. He didn’t want to keep working on them tomorrow.

    Lucas frowned slightly: “Sleep.” 

    “Well, I just got a report from the hotel manager.” Luo Ran said: “The hotel’s surveillance  system has a problem.”

    As soon as Luo Ran mentioned this, he wasn’t sleepy anymore. Lucas got up and said angrily: “Isn’t there at least a photograph? Are they all broken?” 

    “Yes.” Luo Ran shook his head and said, “The security system did not record anyone, so I am going to check the drug instead.”

    After all, Lucas was drugged. It might have been either in the drinks or food. 

    Luo Ran asked: “What did the Admiral eat that day? Do you still have an impression of what you drank?” 

    “No.” 

    Lucas can remember all the details on the battlefield, but otherwise, his memory has always been terrible. What did he eat yesterday? He can easily forget it, let alone eating and drinking at a banquet on that day. 

    After the next day of the banquet, the Investigation Department came to ask Lucas for clues, and Lucas could not give them any leads. 

    “Ah…” Luo Ran said helplessly: “Don’t you remember anything that day?” 

    Lucas sat on the bed, frowned for a moment, got up and walked to the door, then said: “Come here.” 

    “…? ” 

    Bump–

    As soon as Luo Ran walked to the door with his feet, Lucas grabbed his shoulder and wrist pressing it against the door. 

    “Admiral…!” Luo Ran was startled and saw the man behind him leaning forward. 

    The two were very close. Luo Ran’s breath was full of the familiar tobacco smell, slowly destroying his nerves one by one. 

    The smell of Lucas’s body was not the choking smell of cigarettes, but the mellow aroma of tobacco leaves; which belongs to the earth before the tobacco is burned. 

    The scent is thick, strong, and spicy with some hints of sourness and bitterness. It is strong to other people. It was obvious that people dare not approach, but they can’t help but approach, and even become a little addicted.

    It was like strong liquor, full gunpowder, and big as an ancient tree; the man’s hormones smoked Luo Ran that he almost couldn’t stand.

    “I’ll think about it… you let me think about it.” 

    Lucas locked Luo Ran between his body and the door panel. He was frowning, and he was trying really hard to recall and repeat the scene that night. 

    That person seemed to entangle with himself by the door for a while? 

    Lucas said: “Don’t move.” 

    Lucas thought that if he could try repeating his actions from that night, it might help jog his memory and provide some clues. 

    Luo Ran: “…”
