In the outer park of the Engineering Department late at night, it was raining in August, and the black clouds covered all the nebulae. Xu Le looked at the official under the umbrella, his eyes narrowed, knowing that his help in the engineering department had finally been leaked, but he couldn't figure it out. Whether the other party wanted to deal with him or to snatch the fruit again, no matter which one it was. Well, it is reasonable to say that this big man under the umbrella will not come to Hong Kong in person.
Nutshell Motor Corporation is a technology-first federal mega-corporation. Under the supervision of the board of directors, it is the engineers and technicians who really make up the skeleton of the company. Xu Le is also one of the engineering and technical personnel, but he is only a small third-level technical supervisor, while the official under the umbrella is the chief technical advisor of Nutshell Motor Company.
The chief technical advisor automatically becomes the technical independent director of the Nutshell board of directors. With the status of Nutshell in the Federation, any member of the board of directors has great power and status.
The Nutshell technical director under the umbrella returned to silence after saying the paragraph just now, waiting for his answer through the pair of glasses. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. It stretched over the black umbrella above his head and splashed little water on the lens, but the big man didn't bother to wipe it. He just looked at Xu Le, wondering about this important young man. Will people resist.
There were white water company guards in black rain-proof combat uniforms standing all around. Xu Le knew that these people were mercenaries who would kill without blinking or special soldiers who were transferred by the military to practice. No matter how confident he was in himself and Magnolia, he would not I thought of rebelling violently, because these black-clothed guards were holding long spears tightly in their hands.
At this moment, an umbrella came to Xu Le's head, covering the rain from the sky. Xu Le looked back and saw Secretary Bai standing behind him with his head down. I don't know when this figure turned into an umbrella like a conjurer.
The rainy night was dark and wet, and the industrial park was silent. Only the area illuminated by the headlights of the cars was still confronting. The number of people on the two sides is really too different, so this confrontation seems to be over soon, but when the umbrella appears, only the independent director and Xu Le are safe from the wind and rain. The atmosphere in the room turned around.
Xu Le looked at things with a sharpness that was completely inconsistent with his sincere appearance. From being stopped by the checkpoint to the appearance of the independent director, he quickly analyzed the situation and confirmed that the other party probably knew his background. Therefore, I dare not voluntarily use force, but the other party will definitely do everything possible to isolate itself from the engineering department, so as to ensure that the Federal Academy of Sciences will develop the MX first.
He wiped the rain off his face, stared at the director's glasses, and said, "I don't understand what confidentiality regulations I violated? I don't need to explain. You are a big man. As you should be aware, I now have long-term authority over the Engineering Department."
As if to add momentum to Xu Le's rebuttal, Bai Yulan, who had been holding an umbrella behind him and lowered her head slightly, raised her head and swept indifferently towards the surrounding White Water Company guards, her eyes were calm and calm. There was a coldness that was suppressed to the extreme.
The headlights of the car were originally a little hazy due to the rain, but at the moment when Magnolia raised her face, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed from the rain clouds in the sky, illuminating the dim world for a moment, and also illuminating the darkened world. That handsome face was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
The white water mercenaries wearing black combat uniforms around them saw this delicate and peaceful face, but the queue that had been cold and silent changed a bit. It was not a commotion, but vigilance, absolute vigilance.
Because they all recognized this face, this face could only belong to Bai Yulan, the former battle director of the company's seventh team.
Within the Whitewater Company, this handsome man is not well-known, because no one wants to talk about him, the whitewater combatant who kills without blinking an eye, mentions this big guy who looks like a bitch, but is more ruthless than anyone else. Fear from the bottom of my heart.
The independent director looked at the two people in the rain indifferently, and did not argue with each other. He came in person for his trip to Hong Kong today, mainly to use his position in the company to suppress the rebound of the engineering department. Regarding Xu Le and The secretary behind him, he was a little afraid of his background, but he was not worried that the other party would dare to confront so many fighters head-on.
Although they were a little uneasy, the black-clothed fighters still pushed them up. They didn't pay attention to Xu Le, who looked very ordinary, but focused most of their attention on Bai Yulan, who seemed to be weak, and aimed their guns at him. The key point of the man, his eyes never took his eyes off his wrist, because they all knew what kind of terrifying close combat ability this delicate man possessed. Back then in the Bermuda triangle star field, this man even killed seven Bermuda people with just a knife. The bandit master, although the opponent did not have a gun at this time, he still did not dare to take it lightly.
Still holding her umbrella, Magnolia took a step forward, stopped in front of Xu Le, and silently put her left hand into her trouser pocket. It was such a simple action, but the movements of the guards holding guns beside him paused.
These people can sense the danger from this action of Magnolia, so they don't understand why, despite the order of the board of directors, Magnolia, as a company employee, still has to protect Xu Le. This is really not in line with Magnolia. accustomed life style. Thinking of this, Xu Le's figure became a little unfathomable in their hearts. It was unimaginable that this young technical director had no strange breath, but he was able to subdue this show knife.
"Take a moment."
Xu Le knew that the current situation was very troublesome. If he was captured, he could easily put himself under house arrest for many days with the strength of the other party in the federation, and he didn't need to do anything to himself.
The chief technical officer, looking at Xu Le's lips that moved slightly, suddenly smiled and said, "Don't try to resist. Although I'm not happy, I think many people are happy to see a fire accident happen."
Xu Le's palm lightly placed on Bai Yulan's shoulder, preventing the vicious shot he was about to explode.
At this moment, two people rushed over from the engineering department. The umbrellas in their hands did not care to cover the rain, and they shouted angrily at the fighters of the Whitewater Company on the periphery. rushed in.
The independent director's face was a little gloomy. Although he knew that there was absolutely no way to hide what happened tonight from the gangsters in the engineering department, he did not expect that under the cover of the heavy rain at night, Jose could still find out in such a short period of time. small actions of the board.
Director Jose was soaked all over. Looking at the tension in the field, he took a deep breath and calmed down his anger. He looked back at the director and said in a deep voice, "I personally approved Xu Le's long-term authority. What's the problem? "
"No problem." The director's expression darkened, and he bluntly rebuked: "You should know where your approval authority is! Are there any rules for doing things? Do you still have a board of directors in your eyes?"
Nutshell is a giant enterprise with many departments under it, and important sites like the engineering department naturally have a different status. If you compare it to an ancient dynasty, Director Jose is like a prince. However, the independent technical director from the board of directors is like an imperial envoy. Unless the engineering department dares to rebel, he has no way to fight against the board of directors, whether in terms of power or qualifications, so the director will speak in a tone of reprimanding his subordinates. It doesn't give Jose any face at all. In fact, in this tense state tonight, the internal disputes within the Nutshell Company have also begun to come to the fore.
Zhou Yu raised an umbrella over Director Jose's head and looked at Xu Le with concern. Xu Le shook his head, indicating that there was no problem.
Director Jose calmed down for a moment and said to the big man, "This is not the research institute, but the engineering department. According to the board's charter, I have the qualifications for approval. If you have any objection to my qualifications, you can raise it at the board of directors. But don't embarrass our staff."
"Xu Le is not a staff member of the Engineering Department. He was not in the past, he is not today, and he will not be in the future." The director said with a calm face, "You are qualified to have the approval authority, but don't forget that Xu Le is in contact with the federal top secret. According to the secret level, these approvals are all in the company headquarters, and I don’t remember when the board of directors gave you the power to make your own decisions.”
His next words directly shattered Jose's idea of protecting Xu Le.
"The emergency meeting of the board of directors has temporarily deprived you of your approval authority. All new recruits who have contacted MX in the past two months will be brought back for review. This is the decision of the board of directors. If you object, please keep it for yourself. ."
This is a very fatal issue. If the Nutshell board of directors really makes such a resolution, then Xu Le's access rights will be illegal. Confidential data charges, took him to court.
After saying this, the director ignored the silent director Jose, took two steps forward and walked into the big lantern cover of the car, looked at Xu Leping and said, "Come with us, you know I don't. It will be difficult for you, but you need to rest somewhere else during this time."
Xu Le shook his head. After the Hushan Road incident, the big figures in the federation all knew the relationship between them and the Tai family. Of course they didn't dare to kill themselves casually, but if they resisted, they would be able to find a suitable reason. If they didn't resist. , they can take themselves away and forcefully delay the mecha development work of the Engineering Department.
He just didn't understand why the other party was obviously an independent director of the Nutshell Company, but he wanted to harm the company's interests and stand on the side of those people.
"You're just the director of Nutshell, you don't care about me." Xu Le took out the certificate from his jacket pocket, handed it to the director, and said, "This is my certificate, which is marked with the repeated authority of the Ministry of Defense General Assembly Base. "
"Unless the Secretary of Defense personally issues an order, no one can stop me from entering the Engineering Department tonight."
Volume II Shanglin's Bells Chapter 174 The thickness of the gun barrel represents the level of the sound. In the eyes of many people, Xu Le is just an ordinary guy. At least on the surface, he came to the capital star. After the circle, there were too many outstanding men by his side, both in skin and inward, they were much more eye-catching than him, so when he said those words, the director couldn't help but startled. Start re-examining him.
After taking the certificate and looking at it through the headlights of the car, the company's technical director did not return the certificate to Xu Le, nor did he express any opinion, but turned around and walked towards the periphery of the crowd, and took out the phone in his hand. The guards of Baishui Company still held Xu Le and Bai Yulan in the middle, and no one dared to let them go without his order.
The director took out his encrypted phone, dialed a number, waited for a while, and asked in a gloomy voice, "Didn't you say that there should be no relationship between Xu Le and Zou Yingxing, that's just a pretense, why now Xu Le and Zou Yingxing? Do you have the Ministry of Defense's certificate in your hand?"
Secretary Luo's voice came from the other end of the phone. The close subordinate of President Lin of the Federal Academy of Sciences didn't seem to have thought that he had invited the director to come forward, and Xu Le actually took out the authority chartered by the Ministry of Defense, and said in surprise. : "The analysis from the Bureau of Investigation shows that the relationship between Xu Le and the daughter of the Zou family should be a cooperative relationship. Why does the Ministry of National Defense get involved in this relationship?"
"Could that be what the lady meant?" the director asked in a low voice, suddenly feeling a little cool in the rain in August.
"I don't know. But Mr. Director, since things have come this far, we all have to go on." Secretary Luo said softly on the other end of the phone, and there was a faint sound of violin music beside him.
The technical director of Nutshell has a very high status in the federation. Facing the secretary of Dean Lin, he is naturally not timid, and said coldly: "If it is only the internal affairs of the company, of course I can start, but this has already involved the Ministry of Defense! I I don't want to have a conflict with the federal military!"
Secretary Luo said after a moment of silence, "Please wait a moment, President Lin will speak to you."
The technical director held the phone and stood under the umbrella. He suddenly felt a little unhappy. He turned his head and glanced at his subordinate coldly, and scolded: "Why did you hold the umbrella? Didn't you see that my shoulders were wet?"
The subordinate holding the umbrella looked slightly flustered, and hurriedly stretched the umbrella further forward, but he didn't dare to explain anything at all. He knew very well that the officials he served had already been messed up because of the authority of the Ministry of Defense.
An old voice came from the phone: "It's only four o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, I have the habit of getting up early to play the violin."
The technical director murmured in his heart, thinking that who doesn't know that you don't get up until six o'clock on weekdays. Today, you can't sleep well, and even Secretary Luo is staying by your side, naturally because he has to wait for news from his side, but the phone call After all, there is a leader in the federal academia. After a little hesitation, he said, "Xu Le took out the authority of the Ministry of Defense. I can't do anything about it. I have to withdraw first."
The old voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "What about the authority of the Ministry of Defense? He is still your Nutshell employee after all! I don't ask you to bring him to me, but I don't want this little guy either. The squatting soldier has drilled into the underground of the engineering department again! You know what this means!"
Hearing the angry rebuke over there, Mr. Director's expression became indifferent, thinking that in the face of utility, this old guy finally no longer cares about the so-called demeanor, he said to the phone: "Forgive me."
"I know you don't want to bear the pressure of the military, but you shouldn't overestimate the power of the Tai family." The academic leader of the Federation on the other end of the phone slowed his tone and said in a harmonious voice, "Actually, I don't know about the Li family. How did that little guy move you, but I think since you were on his side from the beginning, he must be very willing to have you on his side."
Hearing the words "Lijia", Mr. Director's expression became slightly pale, he hung up the phone slowly, and walked towards the middle of the crowd. In this short distance, he thought of a lot of things, thought of his luxurious nights at the MGM Star Casino at the entrance to Bermuda, thought of the 300 million gambling debts he owed, and thought of those videotapes.
The high-ranking Director of the Nutshell was actually toyed with this kind of old-fashioned and inferior means. He couldn't help laughing at himself. Only then did he understand that no matter in which era, money was the most vicious devil, the most primitive. The means are often the most frightening means, and he is the prisoner whose soul has been blinded by the devil's primitive means.
Walking in front of Xu Le, Mr. Director handed the certificate back to Xu Le with a cold face. He had already made up his mind at this time. In fact, between being ruined and fighting against the Ministry of Defense, he could only choose the latter.
Angrily and irritably, he knocked off the umbrella held by his subordinates behind him. Mr. Director stared at Xu Le's eyes, and said coldly, "Arrest them for me."
The rain wet the hair of this middle-aged man, and together with his twisted face, he looked particularly hideous.
When the other party called, Xu Le thought that this person was verifying the authenticity of the Ministry of Defense's secret authority over the phone, but when the other party's expression became so cold and stern, he knew that things had changed, and he didn't know it was the Li family. The Federal Academy of Sciences actually found a way to make the independent director of the nut shell make such a heartless move despite the majesty of the Ministry of Defense.
When a person is unreasonable, any rules and rationales in the federation will not work for him. To deal with such a person, he can only be more unreasonable than him.
Xu Le was already making such preparations the moment his fingers took back the certificate. The big man in the rain was obviously blinded by the previous negotiation and underestimated the determination that Xu Le would show in this incident.
One foot slammed on the ground, and countless water splashes shot out like arrows, making the light of the car headlights appear even more dimmed. A few pillars of light in the rain can help to see things, Xu Le's first foot, kicking up the rain flower, is for this purpose.
Magnolia, who had been holding an umbrella behind him, moved at the same time. This handsome man and Xu Le had not known each other for a long time, but the two had already formed a very delicate tacit relationship, like It was normal to fight the strong man in the fitness center in front of the Gangdu Peninsula Hotel. When Xu Le just lifted his legs, Bai Yulan had already thrown out the umbrella in his hand. The black and opaque umbrella was swept in the wind and rain , which happened to block the beam of light from the headlights of another car for a moment.
The light in the field was slightly chaotic, and the figures moved around. Before the guards of the surrounding Baishui Company had time to pull the trigger, the umbrella and the rain arrows that were provoked fell softly and softly on the ground at the same time. It's just that the line of sight is disturbed in such a short period of time, and the situation in the field has undergone great changes.
Mr. Director was soaked all over, his face was pale, his neck was tightly pinched by Xu Le's right hand and dragged to the front of the car, Xu Le blocked the aiming of the firearms with his body.
Like a shadow, Magnolia also came to his side, but did not look for any obstacles, just lowered her head slightly, and observed the movements of the surrounding company colleagues in the rain. There was no gun in his hand, only a Nice little knife.
"Put down the gun." Xu Le said to the surrounding Whitewater Company guards.
Those guards didn't react at all. They were held hostage by these two people. These trained mercenaries were more humiliated than scared. At this time, it was even more impossible for them to lose them. The gun in his hand, instead, was holding a firearm, approaching the front of the car inch by inch.
The rain hit on the metal guns, on the hands that held the guns steadily, on everyone's heart, and no one knew what would happen next.
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and found that the situation was out of control. He cautiously moved his head to Mr. Director's ear and said in a low voice, "This shouldn't be the ending you want, I don't want to kill people, but I don't want to go with you either. , is there a better way?"
The pale color on Mr. Director's face gradually faded, and he said, "It's alright, attack the commander, take hostages, no matter if you can clear these charges, you will not be able to enter the engineering department again, of course, if you kill me , your life is over."
The rain hit Xu Le's face. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What exactly do those people have in your hands?"
"Do I need to tell you?" Mr. Director sneered, his expression still grim, but then he let out a miserable groan.
With this miserable groan, the guards who were coming around stopped and looked at the scene in front of the car, showing a trace of unease.
With a backhand knife, Magnolia stabbed directly into Mr. Director's groin, her delicate palm still holding the slender knife handle tightly, and he lowered his head in the rain, not looking at the spooky gun barrels that were close at hand, and whispered softly. Said: "Everyone is an expert, you should know that when I shake my hand at this time, the blade of the knife will break through the aorta of Mr. Director. If you can kill me with one shot, when I fall, the point of the knife will also cut the artery along the way. Pick a piece out, and the broken blood vessels will shrink into the muscles, no matter how much you look for them, you won't be able to find them."
"I'm rarely so wordy." Bai Yulan raised her head and let the rain fall from her face. Looking at the muzzles of the guns around, she said earnestly, "I'm worried that there are newbies among you, and you can't see this."
The mercenaries of Baishui Company are all experienced and experienced. The leader of the team waved his arm to stop his subordinates from advancing. The person panicked and made mistakes, because he knew that every word Magnolia said was true, and it was obvious that the other party was extremely cold-blooded and would not make mistakes like himself.
"What are you still doing?" Mr. Director distorted his face and reprimanded them loudly: "You bastards!"
There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death and is used to being pampered, especially the respected CTO, but he does not think that the two people who hijacked him dare to kill him, because Xu Le has a background and a promising future. This kind of person will never do something so unbeautiful.
The severe pain in his leg was very real, but this pain made him a little crazy, and he angrily scolded those Baishui guards who didn't dare to go forward, and at the same time turned his head and cursed at Xu Le: "Young man , you are finished! No matter what the outcome is, the entire Federation will not allow you based on this matter alone."
Director Jose had already been pushed aside by the guards at this time, and he shouted anxiously to Xu Le across the crowd: "Xu Le, don't mess around!"
The security work of the engineering department was originally contracted by Baishui Company. Although he was the director of the engineering department, he was unable to direct these paramilitary personnel. What's more, the director was still in Xu Le's hands at this time. Director slash!
This fact made him feel unprecedented pressure. He knew that Xu Le couldn't be tied at this time, but if he persisted, what should he do if Baishui guards really wanted to kill? He subconsciously wanted Zhou Yu to inform Secretary Shen, whether it was too late, who knew that when he looked back, he found that there was no one around.
Xu Le ignored the shouts of the two people, and just squinted in the dim rain, watching the movements of the guards. When he saw the captain's index finger slowly leaving the trigger, his mood relaxed slightly. Some, but at this moment, he keenly noticed that a guard seemed to be dragging on the periphery unintentionally, and at this moment, he was raising the sniper in his hand, aiming at Bai Yulan's eyebrows.
Bai Yulan also sensed this sensitively. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were slightly cold, and if it was in the past, he would definitely rush into the opponent's crowd with his life, even if the opponent was a well-trained mercenary. However, at this moment, he could only look at the gunman coldly, because Xu Le was still behind him.
A sinister feeling came to Xu Le's heart, just like when the Secret Service agent in Linhai Prefecture appeared on the New Year's Day, the shooter should not be the director. I am afraid that both the director and Xu Le will die on the spot, but the real man behind the scenes can get away with it.
After calculating this, he couldn't react, because once he raised his hand and surrendered, he would lose all his efforts, but the light in his eyes gradually faded away, as if nothing was found.
After thinking about it for a long time, in the real rainy night, it was only a blink of an eye. The guards of Baishui Company still aimed at Xu Le and the two with their guns, while the gunman outside the crowd had already pulled the trigger indifferently. After a muffled pop, a bullet lit up in the rainy night, slid over the edge of the headlights of the car, and shot through the stagnant water with a shriek, and shot into the hard ground of the industrial park.
Neither Xu Le nor Bai Yulan had time to do anything to avoid them, but the shot was missed, because at the moment before the gunman opened fire, a figure took the cover of the rainy night and silently moved from behind. He went around behind the gunman and slapped his elbow on his elbow, interfering with his shooting, and at the same time slashed the opponent's neck with a slashing knife.
The gunman is a very powerful character. He still reacted in such a short period of time. He turned his head to avoid the palm knife, and also saw clearly in the dim rain that the person who came was the gentle and jade-like man in the engineering department. The engineer, he didn't care about anything, he was going to knock the engineer down, and then go away.
The poor gunman didn't know that this gentle-looking engineer was the best student in this class of the First Military Academy. Although he was not as meticulous or astonishing as his predecessors Shen Li and Shi Qinghai, he had Still has a very strong action.
With a crisp sound, Zhou Yu, who was soaked in his military uniform, used three extremely simple and practical movements to knock the gunman to the ground, breaking his upper arm, and his shot was extremely ruthless.
At the moment when the gunshots sounded, everyone would not think to find out why the gunshots sounded for the first time, but to think about who was hit by the shot. The well-trained Whitewater Company guards found that no one was hit. Afterwards, he did not fall into the situation of frantically firing, but the situation was complicated, no one knew what was going on, and those gun barrels could spit out flames at any time.
At this moment, there was a roaring sound in the rainy night in the distance, which shattered the August rain and alarmed the crowd in the rain. In the darkness of the night, it quickly approached the engineering department.
Two military helicopters flew over at high speed, the fire spit out loud gunshots, and the ground in the rain was plowed into a deep ravine by the powerful guns.
"We are the 8384th unit of the Hong Kong Garrison District. The people below immediately put down their weapons, and immediately put down their weapons, otherwise they will be shot and killed."
On the dark green military helicopter microphone, a serious shout sounded, as if to explain his order in terms of strength. The airborne rotating Darling barrel had begun to rotate at a high speed, sending out bursts of metal in the rainy night. rubbing sound.
A deep groove appeared on the hard ground of the industrial park. The traces cut by the ultra-high-speed bullets still maintained a high temperature. The rainwater that fell into it was scalded and turned into a faint mist.
The shards that were blown away by the powerful firepower of Darling's rotating barrel hit the edge of the car, smashing the metal doors out of dense little dots.
Although most of the guards of the Whitewater Company were from the Federal Army, their current status was only mercenaries. Facing the imposing Federal military helicopter, they had no intention of resisting. Moreover, the unreasonable machine gun fire has proved the ferocity of these soldiers. In the absence of heavy weapons, they want to confront the federal army head-on, just like a bare-handed person, going to fight a military mecha fight.
There are not so many Feng Yu and Xu Le in this world.
Director Jose stared blankly at the dark green helicopter that landed on the ground, at the federal soldiers who filed out, and then at the white water guards who put down their weapons under Darling's barrel, and couldn't help being a little stunned for a while. . He didn't understand what happened, why the 8384 troops in the garrison suddenly appeared here.
An officer stepped down from the helicopter, the rain cracking on his cap. The officer ignored the strange eyes around him, but trotted to Xu Le, stood at attention with a snap, and said solemnly, "By order of the Ministry of National Defense, Major Lan Xiaolong of Unit 8384, come to report to the chief. , please instruct the chief!"
