Leng Xiao said with a smile, "So that's it, I thought there was some unpleasantness between you two."
Lifting his eyes slightly, Leng Ling's black eyes looked calm, "These little things don't require the president's concern. We get along very well."
Leng Xiao secretly glared, "Tell me, you were so anxious to see me when you came back. Is there something important?"
"There is indeed something I want to report to you."
Leng Ling reported Kessel's situation in the past few months to Leng Xiao one by one, and the other party nodded slightly after hearing this.
"I have worked hard for you these days. You have managed Kessel very well, which makes me very satisfied. But, what is going on between you and Sharda?"
Leng Ling stared at the man in front of him with deep pupils, his eyes indifferent, "President, are you talking about the assassination of Sharda?"
"Yes."
Leng Ling frowned, "I have told you this matter in detail on the phone and in the report. Moreover, the assassin is dead, so I think there is no need to pursue it further."
"You have indeed reported this matter to me in detail, and I fully agree with those reasons. However, I heard a completely different answer from Sharda. He picked up a lighter on the table and Leng Xiao put it down.
Playing with it in his hand, "I heard from Sharda that you ordered your subordinates to assassinate him, but because the matter was exposed and because of his own incompetence, Sharda killed him instead. Your answer is different from his answer
"Very far, this makes me confused," his deep gray eyes looked at Leng Ling meaningfully, "Who is lying between the two of you?"
A few glimmers of darkness quietly flashed through his deep pupils, "President, there were no witnesses to Sergeant Ralph's attempt to assassinate Sharda. He was the only survivor. What was the situation at that time? Apart from his own words,
We have no way to determine what exactly happened at that time. Those conclusions, I only came to through subsequent investigations. But it is absolutely impossible for you to lie, at least I will not lie to you."
Leng Xiao held his forehead with one hand and said in a cold voice, "So you want to say that Sharda is lying?"
Leng Ling said calmly, "I don't know."
Leng Ling's beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, but Leng Ling remained calm, "I don't have any personal grudges with Mr. Sharda. Even if we disagree politically, I would never do such a thing."
Leng Xiao nodded, "With your personality, you would naturally not do such a thing. I'm just afraid that someone is trying to do something detrimental to you in your name."
Leng Ling said decisively, "President, I don't think anyone around me wants to do such a thing. If you want to find out the truth of the matter, the only way right now is for me to confront him."
Leng Xiao didn't seem to want Leng Ling to really confront Sharda. He just responded lightly, "I will ask him about this matter again. If it is really just the personal grudge you mentioned or Sharda
If Da made a mistake, I will naturally give you justice."
Leng Ling nodded lightly, "Thank you, President, for your trouble."
Leng Xiao waved his hand disapprovingly, "Son, we don't need to be so polite. Every time I talk to you, you are so respectful, as if we are just superiors and subordinates."
Regarding the enthusiasm shown by Leng Xiao, Leng Ling did not take this trick, "You are the head of a country, so naturally I cannot be negligent when talking to you."
Leng Xiao was a little frustrated and said, "Well, since you insist on doing this, I won't force you."
He stared at the man in front of him with cold eyes, "President, there is something I would like to ask for your opinion on."
"What's up?"
"It's about upgrading armaments and enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army," Leng Ling said slowly, noticing that the other party's gloomy eyes dimmed, "I heard that you recently conducted military drills and inspections, and also purchased many new weapons and equipment.
, can I think that Lanson’s financial crisis has been resolved? If this is the case, can the application I submitted before be approved?”
"Are you talking about that? This is just a military exercise for the capital of Salat, and the equipment can only meet the capital's army deployment requirements."
Leng Ling was very disappointed and said, "In other words, we still have to rely on ourselves?"
Leng Xiao said helplessly, "I can only tell you, that's it."
Although Leng Ling was a little frustrated, he still wanted to fight for it, "President, you rejected the approval last time. The people of Kessel and the local garrison were very disappointed. They are on the front line of the war, but they don't even have the most basic weapons and equipment.
There is no guarantee. Even if they can now provide some equipment with their own technology, all they can produce are only the most basic weapons. Once we fight Valencia again, our weakness will soon become apparent. By then...
…”
Listening to Leng Ling's narration, the wrinkles in Leng Xiao's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, "My child, it is indeed urgent to upgrade weapons and equipment. However, successive years of war have made the people miserable. How can I make them suffer again?"
taxes?"
Leng Ling's voice gradually became lower, "Isn't there anything you can do?"
Leng Xiao pretended to be embarrassed, "At present, it is indeed the case. Maybe, after some time, I will make plans based on the situation."
"I understand, President. I came here rashly and disturbed your office. I will go back first."
"Go ahead."
Watching Leng Ling leave the office, Leng Xiao's dark eyes like an eagle became a little darker.
Pick up the phone on your desk and dial.
"Ask Alan Sharda to come see me within an hour."
"Yes, President."
Leng Ling walked out of the office and returned to his room.
Anna had already cleaned up the room and left. A pure white orchid was placed in the vase beside the table, and its quiet fragrance spread throughout the room.
Smelling the delicious orchid fragrance in the air, Leng Ling sat on the back of the high chair.
From the conversation with Leng Xiao just now, he could clearly feel that the other party was deliberately testing him to find out something about Sharda. But Sharda did not have any evidence to prove that this matter was related to Sharda.
He has a connection. Even if Leng Xiao trusts him again, it will be difficult to determine without evidence.
Moreover, he didn't know about the whole thing. Even if Sharda really wanted to put the blame on herself, she couldn't do it because she only had oral information.
Putting this matter aside, what Leng Ling really wanted to do was how to make Sharda's secret collusion with Valencia public.
Propping his head on the back of his white hand, Leng Ling fell into deep thought.
