O Pretends To Be B for the Violent Admiral – Chapter 60: The Admiral’s Pursuit 2.0

The cable car resumed operation, and the fireworks continued to explode one by one.

Lucas gazed at Luo Ran’s face as fireworks flickered over it, and suddenly understood why he had taken a picture of Luo Ran while watching the fireworks with him.

Lucas opened his terminal.

The only photo in his terminal was taken by him after he and Luo Ran went to the racecourse to play and watched fireworks while dining on a restaurant balcony.

The photo was a profile shot of Luo Ran. He was watching the fireworks with the gorgeous sky in the background.

Lucas had never been interested in fireworks, but Luo Ran under the fireworks was very beautiful.

The car returned to the high platform and landed.

Lucas put away the terminal and disembarked the cable car with Luo Ran.

Luo Ran had just been injected with a sedative, and his mind was also unstable. Coming down from a high altitude, he was naturally off balance.

Lucas embraced Luo Ran’s waist from behind, calmly supporting him.

Luo Ran could feel the pheromones gently enveloping him, as if telling him that he had entered a safe space.

After the two came down from the elevated platform, they saw that Lu Bei had come down and was drinking the water provided by Zhou Mingkai. 

Zhou Mingkai said helplessly: “I’ve been waiting here for a long time, and the water isn’t cold anymore. It’s so coincidental……it just happened to malfunction when you went up.”

Lu Bei smiled and said; “It doesn’t matter. It was actually pretty good. We got to watch fireworks twice, which is equal to the price of two tickets. 

“En.” Luo Ran smiled, and was about to reach out to take the milk tea Zhou Mingkai handed to him, when Lucas grabbed it first.

Luo Ran: “…….?”

Lucas frowned and said to Luo Ran: “Don’t drink it cold.”

Shen Xiluo had told him that Luo Ran was weak now, and shouldn’t touch cold or stimulating things.

“Ah.” Luo Ran paused. Anyway, it wasn’t necessary to drink, so he retracted his hand.

“The admiral knows about this?”

“How could I not know?”

Zhou Mingkai and Lu Bei watched their meaningless conversation and exchanged glances.

Huh.

The two couldn’t laugh or cry.

It seemed that these two had settled their differences.

Zhou Mingkai didn’t know what had happened between Lucas and Luo Ran, but at the end of the day, the two could sense the strange atmosphere between them.

The group went to eat something afterwards, and then left after playing around at the game booths.

When only Lu Bei and Zhou Mingkai were left alone, Lu Bei smiled and said: “It seems that the admiral and the secretary have reconciled, one more benefit of today’s trip.”

Zhou Mingkai nodded, saying bitterly: “It was too difficult for me today. You know, when Luo Ran and I were sitting in the back, the admiral almost killed me with his eyes!”

Zhou Mingkai walked toward the aircraft with Lu Bei and said: “Really, those two, one is attacking like a chicken and the other is hiding like hell.”

Lu Bei said: “Secretary Luo has always been professional and calm, and can solve any problem perfectly, and only in front of the admiral does he sidestep helplessly. This is because he likes him, and if he likes him, he could lose his position.”

Zhou Mingkai looked at the indifferent Lu Bei, who wore thin-rimmed glasses and looked like a bookworm, and tutted.

“It shouldn’t happen like that, ba.”

Lu Bei raised his eyebrows: “Who knows.”

. . . . . .

The next weekend, Lucas went back to his hometown, but he took Luo Ran with him this time.

“Why is the admiral bringing me home?” Lou Ran asked anxiously inside the aircraft. “I’m not part of the Aldor family.”

“I don’t want to go back alone.”

Luo Ran paused and said nothing.

The original Aldor family home was a manor located in the suburbs, and had a very understated style. Although the brick and stone house was large and dignified, it looked a little worn down, and there was a bit of moss on the walls.

The military family’s home in the capital had always been low-key.

The aircraft landed, and the captain of the marshal’s guard stepped forward to give a military salute: “Admiral! Welcome back.”

The entire manor was patrolling, and the captain gestured for everyone to disperse so as not to block Lucas’s view.

Lucas had a bad temper, especially since he was not at ease with his family, and everyone knew it.

Lucas led Luo Ran down the long, Chinese-style corridor to the dining room.

“Lucas is back…..! Aiya, Ranran is here too.” The marshal’s wife smiled and pulled Luo Ran to sit down.

“Today I specially asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes. Ranran needs to eat more, he is too thin.”

Luo Ran nodded.

Sure enough, Cyril was also there, sitting to the side with a gentle, harmless smile. He said to Lucas: “It’s a rare opportunity for us to have dinner together.”

“Yes, ah, it almost makes me nauseous.” Lucas crossed his arms in front of his chest and sat there with a cold expression.

“Just eat at mealtime, don’t talk about other things.” The marshal had also been on the battlefield when he was young, and his aura was undiminished. He had a fierce, cold face, just like a middle-aged version of Lucas.

“Ai, Lucas, eat more.” At the dinner table, the marshal’s wife focused her entire being on Lucas, and kept picking up meat and vegetables for him.

Lucas expressionlessly picked out the food given to him by the marshal’s wife with other chopsticks, setting it aside without eating it.

The marshal’s wife was a bit sad, but tried not to show it, and the marshal frowned.

“It’s okay,” Cyril smoothed things over with a smile and picked them up from Lucas’s extra plate. “Mom, just give them to me.”

In fact, Lucas didn’t mean to provoke or target on purpose, he was just a clean freak and felt very disgusted.

This obsession with cleanliness was not about being clean or anything else, but about people. He felt nauseous after even touching someone else.

After finally finishing their meal, there was no way for the family to sit down and talk together, so they could only go back to their rooms to rest.

Lucas asked Cyril to talk on the balcony.

Luo Ran paused, and was about to go to the balcony with Lucas, when the marshal’s wife came to hold him back.

“Come, Ranran, speak a few words with me.”

Firstly, the marshal and his wife truly liked Luo Ran, and secondly, they wanted to use Luo Ran’s hand to repair their relationship with Lucas, so they cared about him very much.

Luo Ran wore a slight frown as he watched Lucas walk toward the balcony.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Luo Ran smiled.

. . . . . .

The balcony was very spacious, with tables and chairs to the side.

“What is it?” After going up, Cyril sat down in front of Lucas and asked with a smile: “What can I do for my brother?”

—Snap.

Without saying a word, Lucas threw a folder onto the table.

Cyril frowned. He picked it up to glance through it, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

“Where did you find this? This is false content, it’s slander!” Cyril said, “How could I harm my little brother!”

“I don’t have the patience to argue with you. Just tell me directly that you were ordered by someone, and I won’t have to pursue it.” Lucas crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked down at Cyril.

He led troops into battle, and couldn’t be bothered with a gutter rat like Cyril.

“I told you, it wasn’t me.” Cyril frowned and said, “It really wasn’t me, I don’t know how to defend myself.”

“One, two…..”

Lucas looked at Cyril with a dark expression.

Cyril said anxiously: “Lucas, if you want to fight with me and target me, you don’t have to find excuses to pour dirty water on me!”

“Three.”

Lucas took out his pistol and pointed it directly at Cyril.

“Speak honestly and answer my question.”

“You…..!” Cyril’s face paled, and he could no longer maintain his expression. “I’m your brother, this is our home! What are you doing!”

Lucas pulled back the hammer, and the gun made a crisp sound.

“Three.”

“Two……”

Lucas began to count down again.

Take swift and decisive action, and as long as there was an answer, there would be no opportunity for redundant explanations at all.

Cyril believed that Lucas was really capable of shooting him.

It was only that he didn’t know if he would aim at his heart or other parts.

Cyril took a deep breath and smashed the already broken jar.

—Crash.

Cyril got up and rushed toward Lucas.

The table was thrown down and fell from the balcony, and the large commotion immediately attracted the attention of the guards below.

On the other end, the marshal’s wife had taken Luo Ran to the living room to sit down.

“Ranran, ah,” the marshal’s wife said anxiously, “Tell me, if Lucas was willing to come back to have dinner with us, does that mean he is willing to reconcile with us?”

“Madam.” Luo Ran attempted to organize his words. “Madam, do you want to hear the truth? It might be a little uncomfortable.”

“En? Tell me, I’ll be fine.”

Luo Ran said: “The admiral will never reconcile with you in this life. If you missed it back then, then you missed it. The admiral is naturally irascible and serious. For him, everything is black and white. Love is love, and not loving is not loving.”

The marshal’s wife paled: “We’re working hard now……”

The marshal’s wife had been attempting to integrate into Lucas’s life, surfing the internet, delivering soup, and so on, but perhaps she didn’t know what was wrong.

Luo Ran explained: “At this point, it’s useless to work hard.”

The two were about to speak further when they heard a gunshot from the balcony.

They were immediately startled.

The marshal heard as well, and had a guess in mind. What everyone saw when they went upstairs was—

Lucas stood aside with a face like the king of hell, while Cyril crouched there and convulsed, clutching his shoulder.

The material over Cyril’s shoulder was stained red, and blood flowed between his fingers.

“God……!” The marshal’s wife’s eyes widened.

With a calm expression, the marshal said to a guard: “Call the doctor.”

Lucas took Luo Ran to stride away, ignoring the others.

“Lucas!” The marshal’s expression became even uglier.

Lucas, however, was already gone.

. . . . . .

In the aircraft, Lucas crossed his legs and pillowed his head on his arm, saying: “I asked, and he behaved after I fired a shot. He said he found the reporters himself.”

Luo Ran paused, then nodded.

“He said that, but I can confirm that it was ordered by someone. It was most likely the dog’s owner, the First Prince.” Lucas sneered. “What he said was certainly ironic. Next, we must focus on investigating the negotiations between him and the First Prince to see if there are any clues.”

“En, whether it is the First Prince or not, Cyril and the First Prince are the ones we need to guard against.” Luo Ran sighed and said, “The grievances have already been formed.”

The old king’s health was getting worse and worse. In the future, if it was true…..then there would be even more blood.

“I won’t go back in the future, it’s boring.” Lucas sneered.

“En.” Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said: “Everything depends on the admiral’s wishes.”

Lucas said: “I’ve been very busy recently too.”

Luo Ran was a little puzzled: “Isn’t the admiral on vacation? Why so busy?”

He was the one who was busy.

Lucas sat up and said with a serious face: “I’m busy thinking about you.”

Luo Ran: “……..”

Luo Ran: “? ? ? ?”

Lucas said: “Have you been teased?”

Lu Ran: “…….”

Lucas said: “I searched the internet for methods of pursuing people, and this is a cheesy pick-up line.”

…….A cheesy pick-up line.

Luo Ran said with a smile: “The admiral should talk less.”

Lucas scoffed coldly: “It’s your fault, you’re guilty!”

Luo Ran: “ ? ”

Lucas pointed to his heart and said: “Not only did you break into my heart, you stole it!”

When Lucas spoke this sentence, his face was as serious as if he was at war, and his voice was powerful and sonorous.

Luo Ran: “…………..”

He wanted to get out of the vehicle.

Luo Ran looked down at the official documents and feigned ignorance, not paying attention to anything that was going on in the world.

. . . . . .

The next day, the marshal and his wife came to the capital to find Lucas.

They said they wanted to talk about what happened the night before.

Lucas, of course, was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Ran couldn’t let the couple wait in the reception room, so he had to go see them.

He also brought some official documents.

“Ranran.” The marshal’s wife smiled and asked, “Where is Lucas?”

“The admiral is busy with official documents, so I will do the same.” Luo Ran smiled, asking, “What do you two want with Lucas?”

“To talk about last night.” The marshal said with a very long face. “I think he should give an explanation for shooting his brother in the manor.”

Luo Ran sat down in front of the two and said: “But up to now, the admiral has not received an explanation about his brother poisoning him.”

Luo Ran was always gentle and elegant, but at this moment, the two of them could feel the spirit in him.

The marshal said: “It happened more than ten years ago! They were both young at the time, and after we found out about it, we punished Cyril severely! We understand that Cyril was a weak-willed boy, and so far he hasn’t been able to get a single point in the military department.”

Luo Ran paused, then gently placed one of the official documents in front of the two of them.

It was Lucas’s annual health report.

The two frowned, opened it to take a look, and were stunned.

—Lucas Aldor

—Spiritual strength: SSS

—Spiritual status rating: S-level danger, remnants of trauma, must take xn12, df1, uyy8

“This is the medicine the admiral takes every day, and these are the calming incense and sleeping pills he uses.” Luo Ran pointed to the pictures on the document.

“The admiral has always wanted to save face, and won’t tell outsiders about his mental state.”

After that, Luo Ran gave the two another official document.

“This is the report from the investigation team, about negotiations between Cyril and a reporter. A nine-year-old child poisoning someone can be said to be the result of a lack of mental development, but now that Cyril is twenty-nine years old, I think he should have completed his development.”

Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said with a smile: “This is what was explained last night. I think the marshal will understand everything after reading this information, including the dispute. The admiral did not do it for himself, but for the Empire.”

“Everything the admiral does is for the Empire. He will not use his public office to take private revenge on Cyril. Therefore, I hope the marshal and his wife will not just take Cyril’s side, but realize that the admiral is an ordinary person who can also be hurt, and that what he does for the Empire should not be taken for granted.”

Luo Ran spoke slowly and gently, and his posture was very low, but he didn’t have the slightest fear.

“I’m finished speaking. I apologize that the admiral is unable to come down and see you, and I apologize for what I just said.” Luo Ran bowed deeply.

The faces of the marshal and his wife paled, and they were at a loss for words upon seeing the two official documents.

After speaking, Luo Ran left.

When he stepped out the office door, he turned and met Lucas head-on.

“Admiral……” Luo Ran was taken aback.

Did he……hear that?

Lucas gazed at Luo Ran fixedly.

Luo Ran was a little anxious: “Admiral?”

“En.”

Lucas suddenly reached out and gently rubbed the top of Luo Ran’s hair.

Luo Ran was surprised for a moment, and held the official documents, not daring to move.

Lucas rubbed for a moment, and then lightly tapped Luo Ran’s nose. “Let’s go, ba.”

“Oh……”

Lucas stopped suddenly, turned back to Luo Ran, and said: “Do you have a lighter?”

Luo Ran thought that Lucas was in a bad mood and needed one, but he usually didn’t smoke, so he was completely unprepared.

“Sorry, I don’t have one……”

Lucas turned and earnestly threw out his online study results, adding: “Then how did you set fire to my heart?”

Luo Ran: “………”

Oh.
