Qiao Lin utterly lacked self-awareness so his words were disregarded by Lin Zhidong as well as the other captains. When he saw the rest of the people ignoring him and continuing their discussion, Qiao Lin's face turned from red to green and he sat down angrily. He felt deeply embarrassed by this cold treatment.

Disregarding Qiao Lin's feelings, the administrators of Leiting had a long discussion before deciding to let one of their strongest special-class mecha operators be responsible for stalling Ling Lan.
