The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 219: Mervin Ambushed

"So, in the end, you look down on me?" Lin Fu asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Pretty much," he admitted. "After all, I had never seen you before, and I can’t be blamed for looking down on you, because at that time, you hadn’t proven yourself yet. Why should others respect you?"

"That makes sense."

Lin Fu nodded in agreement.

Fu Yang was startled, then chuckled wryly. "Indeed, I’ve studied you for a long time, observed your fighting strength tonight, and seen that you didn’t abandon your classmates even in dire straits. I believe what my cousin said."

"I can tell you unequivocally that Ding Xuan’s death has nothing to do with me," Lin Fu stated solemnly.

"I believe you now."

Although Fu Yang was impulsive and had a volatile temperament, once he resolved a misunderstanding, he became much easier to get along with.

He could take it easy and let things go, not one to be petty.

"After learning that you were upset over the death of a Military Academy Student who tried to assassinate you and publicly killed Princess Therese’s lady-in-waiting, I understood. But since I hadn’t seen you in person at that time, I still harbored some doubts. Now, I’ve completely let go of those doubts."

"That’s great. It’s an inadvertent success, and there’s more good news," Lin Fu said, sweeping a helpless glance at Celia lying on the ground. "I’m currently beset with troubles; Celia is injured, and our school has lost a strong player. The chances of securing the first place in the competition are looking bleak. It seems I really am going to end up in prison."

"The ambush you encountered tonight, could it have been deliberately aimed at the freshmen’s contest?" asked Fu Yang.

"But ambushing Celia wouldn’t make much sense, would it? If there was to be an ambush, it should have been aimed at Mervin... wait a second..."

Lin Fu shivered and quickly dialed Mervin’s number, but nobody answered, despite repeated attempts. Just when she was about to give up, the call connected.

The face that appeared on the screen was Ivan’s.

"Lin Fu."

"Captain, why is it you? Where’s Mervin? How is Mervin?" Lin Fu asked anxiously. Her hands and feet were ice cold at that moment, like someone drowning in the dark night sea, surrounded by cold waters that caused her heart to flutter.

"He’s seriously injured and still in surgery," Ivan casually sent Lin Fu a set of post-battle images with his Light Computer.

Lin Fu opened them with divided attention and discovered they were of a buffer zone delineated by the three major Military Academies. Normally, people leaving the Military Academy to return to the core city would not fly through here. Now, the buffer zone had turned into a wasteland, with collapsed mountains and several craters caused by explosions on the ground. The aftermath of the flames on the ground was a horrifying sight.

"This..." Lin Fu instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes reddening, "How did this happen?"

"The attackers had planned this for a long time, were well-prepared, and used large-scale banned weapons specifically to kill Mervin. Luckily, Mervin had the family’s Legendary Mecha and managed to counter-kill decisively, but he was severely injured, hanging onto life by a thread. It looks like he’ll need at least a month to recover."

Saying this, Ivan’s expression remained calm as he comforted her, "Don’t worry, with Mervin’s extraordinary constitution, he won’t be brought down by an injury like this."

"Okay, I understand."

"Have you made it back to the Military Academy?" Ivan asked with concern.

"No." Lin Fu opened her privacy settings to allow Ivan to see her surroundings.

Instantly, Ivan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and he cursed in a steely tone, "Damn! You’ve been ambushed too? What the hell is going on? Are you out of danger now?"

His voice suddenly rose, startling the other squad members gathered outside the operating room.
