The mean and charming Zou Yu, the quiet and peaceful Zou Yu, the Zou Yu in a red trench coat, and the cute maternity dress Zou Yu are all Zou Yu.
After hearing Zou Yu's slightly abrupt request, Xu Le remained silent. Instead of being stunned by the silence, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing neat and white teeth, smiling happily.
For Xu Le, an orphan from Donglin, the Federation is an indifferent world filled with the smell of banknotes and the smell of metal machinery. However, it is always good to be concerned about life and death. The words Zou Yu said subconsciously were naturally worried. Xu Le, Xu Le understood this worry, got rid of the previous depression and said seriously, "Thank you."
Apart from thank you, Xu Le didn't say anything else to respond to Miss Zou's concern. He stared at the road in front of the car that stretched out in the dark without blinking, his face was calm with a sense of determination.
The silence in the carriage lasted for a long time, Zou Yu's eyes drooped slightly, and her eyelashes lightly rested on her fair skin. She knew that the guy beside her seemed silent and optimistic, but in fact there was always a twist in her bones that no one could understand. Jin'er, as long as he decides, no one in this world can stop him.
In the past, Zou Yu would definitely not care about Xu Le's life or death. For her at that time, Xu Le was a little person in another world, but Wangdu Apartment was two wild cats in the garbage dump for dozens of days and nights. Maybe there will be some feelings of mutual support, let alone two real people, so Zou Yu decided to help Xu Le analyze some things to see if he can help him.
"We have to figure out why the Li family thought of dealing with you to ensure the flow of laboratory data. The development of a new generation of mechas is definitely the top priority of the federal military at present, but... Tie Suanlijia is a financial giant in the Federation, it is impossible Suddenly moved to technology.”
Her eyes slowly turned to Qingqiu, who was swept back quickly by the side of the car window, and said: "In the eyes of those people, you are just a small person, and there is no reason to do anything to you. Unless the Li family wrongly judged my relationship with you, I'm worried that you will hand over the data in the laboratory to my father...or the Tai family."
Seeing that Xu Le didn't answer, Zou Yu was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "The Li family has been secretly supporting the pairing of the Jingzhou Governor Ross and the Medellin Congressman, which happened to be in conflict with the Tai family. I think this matter should not be It would be that simple."
Hearing the five words of Congressman Medellin, Xu Le's eyes narrowed slightly. The bloody smell on his body has been diluted a lot by the automatic air conditioning device in the black car, but at this moment, it seems to be stronger.
"In the past, our analysis should be that the Federal Academy of Sciences wanted to seize the merits of the new generation of mechas, and now there is another benefit." Zou Yu did not feel the change in Xu Le's mood, and frowned slightly: "During the presidential election, the Academy of Forestry Length... is really a variable."
If Xu Le knew that Zou Yu's judgment on the current situation was so close to the truth, he would definitely admire this young unmarried mother's political sense.
From the beginning of adolescence, the lady of the Tai family has cultivated many afternoon teas, and under that arrogant and indifferent face, every bit of wisdom about politics will always gather together and become some kind of capital.
However, at this time, Xu Le no longer cared about the political disputes and conspiracies of the upper echelons of the Federation. He was a small person, and he had the behavior of small people. So he just suddenly opened his mouth and asked again: "Where does Li Xiaotong usually live at night?"
Finding that Xu Le didn't seem to care much about his analysis, Zou Yu's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he said lightly, "If the laboratory data you want to get back is really related to the election, I advise you to let it go."
"The Federal Academy of Sciences and the Lee Family, this is the perfect combination of intellectual hegemony and money magic, and if, as I'm guessing, it's involved in the presidential race..."
She looked at him coldly, "You're like a toad on the highway, you can't do anything at all. Besides, what's the point of you looking for Li Xiaotong?"
She sighed softly and said what was in her heart. She had already expressed admiration for Xu Le's calm and sincere temperament, but the federation only cares about strength.
-Money, status, power, and even power in the military are real power, but power never includes personal force, unless that person's personal power can be like the military god of the Lee family in Philadelphia, above the rules. above. No matter how Xu Le can fight, at this stage, he is still several galaxies away from the high-ranking Seven Great Families and the behemoths like the Federal Academy of Sciences.
"Even Mrs. Tai will be silent on this matter. First, you are not from the Tai family. Second, this is the plan of the Li family. She may feel the huge benefits, but she will not do it so easily. make a decision to sabotage the opponent's plan."
"The seven great families of the Federation have coexisted for tens of thousands of years, relying not on year-to-year wars, but on compromise and coexistence with each other. After all, they are the people of the same world. Although the collaborators they choose in the political world may be different, They won't start the war lightly because of these differences."
"The seven families of the Federation have at least had peace for hundreds of years, and marriages between each other are not uncommon. You are Xu Le, you are an inconspicuous little person, your surname is neither Zhong nor Lin, nor is your surname. Tai... How could you possibly compete with the family surnamed Li?"
"If you're really my man, maybe this matter has turned a corner. It doesn't mean that you might get the data back from the lab, but it means that you won't be dragged into prison by this incident."
Zou Yu did not hide any more, and directly analyzed all the possibilities to him. Xu Le listened silently, but the expression on his face did not change at all, his small eyes narrowed slightly, and said slowly, "When I first worked in Shen Lao's laboratory, I once said to myself, I may have encountered a strange person, and I once thought very self-deprecatingly that it is impossible for this strange person to really regard himself as a closed-door disciple and pass all the mantle to me."
"What I didn't expect was that Professor Shen actually gave me the laboratory in his will."
"Not to mention the data in the laboratory, the effect on the first-generation mecha of the Federation can make Professor Shen still be remembered by ordinary citizens of the Federation after his death..." Xu Le's eyes narrowed even more , said: "Even if there are only a few pieces of torn paper in that laboratory, I won't let others take them away."
Zou Yu was silent and understood what Xu Le meant, just like a famous sentence in that distant dynasty tens of thousands of years ago: The king treats me with a state scholar, so I repay it with a state scholar.
This sentence is used to describe the mood of Lele at this time. In fact, it is not very accurate, but there is not much difference in mood. For the unreasonable trust and trust of the deceased old man, there is no other way than giving him unhesitating persistence.
The seven members of the Federation and those politicians can play tricks, compromise or make concessions with each other, give you three points here, and seek acquiescence rights there. These are all means. And Xu Le didn't have the qualifications to play these games, and he didn't have such thoughts. He had no choice but to move forward.
The black car stopped at the side gate of the Xishan compound of the Ministry of National Defense. In the shadows, heavily armed soldiers were standing guard, and no one was looking at the car. Zou Yu put down the phone, turned around, took a deep look at Xu Le, and said, "When an ordinary man is angry, he has a reason to be angry, and he knows how to advance or retreat. Although Park Zhihao is his person, this matter is not necessarily the case. He did."
Xu Le was taught, bowed his head and replied, "Understood, don't worry."
Zou Yu sighed and vaguely watched a figure approaching from the Xishan compound. Knowing that he couldn't stay any longer, he said an address softly, then looked at Xu Le seriously and said, "You have to remember, my due date is still there. In a few months, since you promised to take care of me, you will come back safely."
Xu Le smiled and didn't say anything, but there was a faint sadness in his heart that he had not seen for a long time. If he really confronted the Federal Academy of Sciences and the Li family, and just killed himself, how could he return to the Wangdu room? Simple apartment
The black car left the Xishan compound of the Ministry of National Defense and drove towards the address mentioned by Zou Yu. From the rearview screen, he saw that Zou Yu had been picked up by a middle-aged woman and Zou You, and he felt relieved.
Driving between the sometimes quiet and sometimes prosperous and extravagant buildings in the Capital Special Administrative Region, Xu Le thought for a moment and dialed a number with his car phone. After a while, he heard a slightly hoarse voice from Butler Jin.
"Tai Zhiyuan said that if I run into trouble, I can call you."
Xu Le holds a streamlined microphone in his right hand. He is a sincere and simple young man, but it does not mean that he is a pedantic guy. Back then, Mrs. Zhong's business card was still in his pocket at the Capital Spaceport. Here, this fully shows that at certain moments, he is willing to bow his head and seek the help of these really big men.
At a critical juncture, one has to be arrogant and self-proclaimed, without asking for external force, and fighting single-handedly, that is stupid, not a good quality.
However, listening to Butler Jin's slightly calm reply in the microphone, which tasted like fruit juice, Xu Le's expression became more dignified, and the microphone next to his cheek seemed to be cold.
Report to Mrs. Tai tomorrow
Xu Le didn't hide anything during the phone conversation, and directly stated Zou Yu's speculation and the importance of the laboratory data he wanted to protect, but the housekeeper Jin still replied calmly.
The seven members of the Federation are concerned with the benefits that the Tie Suanli family is going all out to obtain. Naturally, Steward Jin cannot make a promise to Xu Le. This is something Xu Le can think of, but the tone makes his Eyes narrowed.
It's too late tomorrow.
Although the director of the third department said today that the laboratory will not be sealed until the day after tomorrow, Xu Le knows that once the news of Park Zhihao's death spreads, it will be difficult for him to enter the research institute again, and the other party will definitely speed up the seizure of laboratory data. footsteps.
If nothing else, the technical director of the institute, who obviously has a background in the Academy of Sciences, will take over the written order of the board of directors tomorrow morning and directly take over the laboratory of Professor Shen Lao, and transfer all the quantum measurable data in it. Walk. Although this obviously violated the agreement signed by Professor Shen and the Institute back then, and even contradicted the will of Professor Shen in Xu Le's current hand, but facing the pressure of the Federal Academy of Sciences, Xu Le could not find it at all. Any way to stop this.
A strong sense of disappointment and powerlessness filled Xu Le's brain. He leaned against the car door and took a deep puff of a Sanqi brand cigarette, until the tip of the cigarette heated his nails, then he woke up. Lips, he drew the bright long knife from the car window beside him.
Li Xiaotong, the seventh young master of the Li family, the master of Park Zhiho, should be in this garden building called Qingteng Garden by the citizens of the capital at this time.
In the southeast corner of Qingteng Garden, an artificial flowing water runs in nine twists and turns. I don't know how many years it has been running. Some sedimentary mulch falls to the bottom of the water. The roots of old trees protrude out of the embankment. Peeking out of the clouds, lightly shone on the treetops.
Behind this landscape is a separate building. The appearance of the building is not very conspicuous, but those antique-style corners and cornices, although not how to reveal the temperament of the owner of the building, at least reveal the owner's economic strength.
This is the best and most remote location of Qingteng Garden. Those dignitaries who live in front of them don't know who this independent building belongs to. The seven members of the Federation live in the Federation, but like the shadows of clouds, they never show their true colors easily.
There are flowers under the window, there are flowers on the window, there are flowers on the veil on the bed, and there are two conspicuous red flowers on the white jade-like body of the woman on the bed.
Li Xiaotong, the seventh young master of the Li family, climbed up from the woman contentedly, patted the woman's plump buttocks lightly, and after a few chuckles, rushed her to take a bath, while he put on a deep coat. He came to the window, looking at the flowers above and below the window, and was slightly ecstatic.
He is a person who cherishes flowers, but there are too many flowers around him, so he naturally becomes a playboy. That is to say, after a few months of thinking about the daughter of the Zou family, he restrained himself. It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest lady, who used to cover up her loneliness with arrogance... was actually pregnant, and Li Qishao returned to the original Huahua life while feeling sad.
This afternoon, Li Xiaotong found a piece of information that made him angry, so he was not in a good mood. Although he was still gentle and decent in front of that woman, once the joy was over, he felt a little lonely and sad.
He is the seventh young master of the Li family, but in front of that beautiful and demonic man, he has no brilliance. There is no need to rob him at all, and the people he likes will abandon him and go into the arms of the other party, just because the other party is talented He is the true heir of the Tie Suanli family.
As soon as he thought of this, his deep facial features, gloomy and calm eyebrows, the trace of sinister color suddenly became a little thicker.
He was an excellent person. Standing in the middle of the flowers, he was like an unruly plum, letting the snow and clouds in the sky move, and the blizzard attacking him without disdain to move. It is precisely because of this occasional coldness that he received a sullen evaluation in the family.
It's just a little gloomy, what does it have to do with temperament? Li Xiaotong frowned and thought, and smiled at himself. Since he was rated as sullen, he has been deliberately showing sullenness over the years. Anyway, he can't rob that person anyway. If so, why bother.
At the age of sixteen, he was selected as the second-sequence heir by the Tie Suanli family. At that time, Li Xiaotong was so beautiful, but he was suppressed over the years. No matter how squandered the wealth is inexhaustible, lingering in the night clubs of the major planets in the Federation, driving the silver ghost to travel around and lonely.
Li Xiaotong sat silently on the sofa by the window, raised his head slightly, and looked at the bright moon outside the window and the dwarf flowering trees on the windowsill. That woman will leave after washing, and will not return to this room again, this is his rule.
A gust of night wind blew over, the thick cyan curtain by the window moved slightly, Li Xiaotong's pupils shrank slightly, and his hands stretched back subconsciously, but immediately stopped.
A blade tip reflecting the white moonlight appeared in the cyan curtain. At this moment, the blade light was so dazzling.
Almost at the same time, the door of the room opened silently, and a man in dark clothes aimed his pistol at the back of the curtain. The dark metal barrel was so cold at this moment.
Seeing the man's arrival, Li Xiaotong's shriveled pupils gradually relaxed, but he still did not move at all, just quietly looking at the tip of the knife, because since the man with the gun did not shoot directly, it means that the other party thinks the curtain The man with the knife behind him may injure himself even if he is shot.
Li Xiaotong's greatest strength is that he never underestimates anyone. He trusts the judgment of professionals, so he does not move.
After staying on the mountain behind Qingteng Garden for a long time, Xu Le found an opportunity to approach this independent building. With the amazing strength created by Uncle Feng Yu, he would not be timid even in the face of special elites in the army. It was so difficult to break through those defenses quietly. Only then did he understand that the Seven Great Families of the Federation were indeed not ordinary forces. Even a second-generation figure like Li Xiaotong had such a powerful security force around him.
Taking advantage of the moment when Li Xiaotong was enjoying the love between men and women, Xu Le sneaked into the room. At this time, the bodyguard should not be in the room, this is the best chance.
However, what shocked Xu Le was that before he had time to act, the bodyguard in dark clothes quietly opened the door and aimed a gun at him.
A terrifyingly dangerous aura filled the room. Xu Le slowly walked out from behind the cyan curtains, instead of looking at the seven young masters of the Li family on the sofa beside him, he squinted at the middle-aged bodyguard with a gun at the door of the room.
Even if the middle-aged bodyguard didn't have a gun in his hand, he was an extremely dangerous person. Xu Le's eyes narrowed even more. Before, he didn't hear footsteps outside the door at all, and he didn't even hear breathing. How did this person appear? How can it be so powerful
The middle-aged bodyguard in dark clothes was also looking at Xu Le quietly at this time. His right shoulder was slightly drooping, his muscles were extremely relaxed, but the specially made pistol in his hand moved accurately with Xu Le's every step. And moving, as long as he wants, he can pull the trigger at any time and kill Xu Le.
But he didn't, because Xu Le's left hand was protecting the upper half of his face at this time. This posture seemed a bit wretched, and it was obviously impossible for one arm to block the bullet, but the middle-aged bodyguard's expression was different. Gradually heavier.
Except for Tai Zhong's second family, the seven members of the Federation are not really worried about the safety of their descendants. Because those families have a lot of children, since it is impossible for the hostile forces to give these families a fatal blow through this method, they are naturally unwilling to use this method. Iron-blooded tactics attracted endless revenge from these families.
But even so, there will still be personnel responsible for safety by the side of these second-generation children of the Seven Great Families, especially second-order heirs like Li Xiaotong. Whether he wants it or not, there will be a terrifying master who will protect him. around him.
At this time, the middle-aged bodyguard who forced Xu Le into a desperate situation was such a character.
This middle-aged bodyguard has an ordinary face, but the body under his clothes is like a gun that is ready to be fired. Xu Le felt this threat, so he didn't dare to move lightly.
In the past days, the strongest characters Xu Le had ever seen were the Fatty Captain Tian and Li Lunzi, and such monsters as Uncle Feng Yu were naturally excluded. But perhaps because of the different times, neither Captain Tian nor Madman Li felt more dangerous than the middle-aged bodyguard brought Xu Le at this time.
The Federation is indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and the existence of the Seven Great Families cannot be challenged by the bravery of ordinary people alone.
Just when Xu Le had a hint of remorse, he didn't know it at all. Li Xiaotong, who could see his face clearly, and the middle-aged bodyguard who had been silent at the door were also more vigilant in their hearts. It is very rare in the Commonwealth to be able to quietly touch the bedroom of the Seventh Young Master of the Li family, and with only a long knife in his hand, he can make that middle-aged bodyguard dare not move lightly.
"There are rumors that after I left Linyuan that day, you and Madman Li fought to a tie. I always thought it was an exaggeration. My elder brother even thought that Madman Li was deliberately looking at the face of the prince and Miss Zou's family. Give you a chance to be famous."
In the tense silence, Li Xiaotong, the seventh young master of the Li family, suddenly looked at Xu Le's face, laughed, patted his palm and said, "I just found out today that the rumor is true."
His expression suddenly calmed down, a stern look flashed between his gloomy brows, and he said slowly, "Even Madman Li can't quietly approach my big bed, I'm really curious, Xu Le, who are you? How to do it."
Xu Le has his own secrets. In the capital star circle, he dares to fight against the forces that have been passed down through the ages in the Federation. The skills that Uncle Feng Yu left to him naturally have channels to use. explain what.
When Li Xiaotong called out the intruder's name, the middle-aged bodyguard's expression became a bit more stern. Since the other party knew Li Xiaotong, he dared to come in without concealment. It's just an ordinary person, but the middle-aged bodyguard clearly knew that the ordinary-looking young man with a knife at the curtain was definitely not an ordinary person.
He took a few steps forward. Xu Le's eyes narrowed, noticing that the man lifted his foot and walked, there was no tremor in his shoulders and arms, and the muzzle of the gun was even more stable and terrifying.
I can't let this person get any closer, and within five steps, even if I die, I can no longer threaten Li Xiaotong's life and death.
Contrary to Xu Le's expectations, Li Xiaotong smiled and said to the middle-aged bodyguard, "Brother Zeng, don't be too nervous, Xu Le is my friend."
Xu Le and Li Xiaotong had met once and a half times, so of course they were not friends. He didn't quite understand the deep meaning of this sentence.
"You want to kill me?" Li Xiaotong was still sitting on the sofa, his gloomy face gradually relaxed, "I'm not an ordinary person, if you kill me, the Charter Bureau will definitely want you, whether you can escape or not, you will be forever in your life. It's ruined."
At this time, Xu Le said the first sentence after entering the house: "I have killed Park Zhiho."
Hearing this sentence, Li Xiaotong did not show any signs of nervousness and anger. After a slight stun, he laughed instead. The laughter grew louder and louder, and it was indescribable joy and joy.
The laughter stopped, his cold facial features stretched out in an instant, and he said calmly, "It's good to kill."
