A group of people gathered in the quiet seaside. There was a sniper rifle and troops hidden in the shadows outside the mountain forest. The atmosphere in the field was tense and depressing. The crowd standing opposite Xu Le was as stiff as countless statues. big move. Xu Le admitted that he was waiting for a phone call, which relieved the sense of urgency a little, but the long silent wait that followed was an extremely severe test for everyone's hearts.
Schiller has a two-act tragicomedy called waiting for the person surnamed Ge. The characters in the play never waited for that person to appear, only absurd delirium filled it, endless and extraordinarily tortured, just like everyone was waiting for the phone in Xu Le's hand to ring at this moment. , but the phone did not ring.
At this moment, a famous silver car came from the mountain road at high speed. The hard rubber tires made a violent friction sound against the ground. The security facilities of Douyou Manor had completely failed, and no instruments responded to the arrival of this car.
Before the silver car braked to death, Li Xiaotong jumped out of the car and stopped in front of Xu Le. He ripped off the bow tie on his neck, not wanting to wipe the sweat dripping from his perfectly trimmed temples, looked at Xu Le's face, and said forcefully, "Take a deep breath and think again."
As an early investor and close friend of Xu Le, the Seventh Young Master of Tie Suanli's family knew very well how persistent and firm this guy's temperament was. Seeing those small eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that he was really prepared or impulsive to kill today.
Li Xiaotong's heart was a little cold, and he stopped in front of Xu Le. He did not expect him to change the other party's decision. He had just told his father what happened in this manor, and only hoped that the old guys could make a decision sooner. , although those decisions are a bit too difficult for the dignity of the Seven Great Families.
Xu Le shook hands with him and replied, "It's not me who needs to think now."
Having said that, he really followed Li Xiaotong's suggestion, took a few deep breaths, and poured the brackish sea breeze into his lungs. Not too much.
Li Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief, raised his cotton bow tie to quickly wipe the sweat on his temples, stood beside him, and began to wait with him for the phone that might never ring.
the phone is ringing.
Xu Le waited for the bell to ring twice, and then connected the phone. No one spoke on the other end of the phone. It was as quiet as a silent night, only the sound of very light and long breathing sounded occasionally. Judging from the breathing sound, the other party should be a person. An old man who has passed away.
"Leaving this manor, I thought nothing had happened."
After a long period of silence, an old and indifferent voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone. The tone of the other party's speech was as mysterious and proud as the common people of the Federation imagined, with an innate sense of oppression and authority. It seems that ordinary people in this universe should obey him or fear him by nature.
This is not what Xu Le wants to hear, so his thick eyebrows are slightly raised, half unsheathed like two flying knives, the cold is gradually showing, stubbornness is silent, and he just puts his left hand behind his back and slowly grasps it. Fist clenched.
Answering the proud and strong old man on the phone was a crisp gunshot.
The sniper rifle on the other side of the mountain opened fire again, and the real bullets split the air and roared, terrifyingly hit the sand in front of Lin Douhai's feet, and with a chirp, he didn't know how many meters deep underground.
There was a suppressed exclamation by the sea and the sound of footsteps retreating in fear.
Although there was only a splash of sand, everyone could clearly see the power of the bullet. If the sniper's hand shook a little, Lin Douhai's feet would have turned into a rain of blood.
The young master of the Lin family, who was regarded as the second generation of the Seven Great Families, was much stronger than everyone by the sea. His face was pale, and he seemed to have not heard the gunshot or felt the sound from the soles of his feet. Feeling a violent tremor, he insisted on not retreating one step, clenching his teeth and staring at Xu Le who was talking on the phone in front of him.
Because he had guessed who the caller was, in such a situation that had not been seen for many years, the dignity of the Seven Great Families couldn't be dented any more.
Xu Le still didn't speak, and the head of the Lin family on the other end of the phone didn't speak either after hearing the gunshot.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the big man who was extremely mysterious and lofty knew very well that the young lieutenant colonel on the other end of the phone was waiting for him to say something. For ordinary people, those words are just words that are often spoken, but for a patriarch of the Seven Great Families, it is an unacceptable condition.
In the long history since the end of the Tai dynasty and the reconstruction of the human social and political system, these thousand-generation homes that are hidden behind the scenes of history and constantly influence the trend of history may have made substantial concessions, and may have to endure for a certain period of time, but There are very few people who can force these patriarchs to bow their heads in person, because they represent the bottom line of the family's dignity.
In addition to Mochou Houshan, there have been several very powerful chairmen and presidents who have done this, but many of these great people have paid a heavy price for it - or they fell into disrepute during their tenure, or He was assassinated in a fog. Some of them remained strong until death, but they couldn't stop him for a hundred years. His descendants suffered devastating retaliation from the Seven Great Families.
Today, Xu Le brought dozens of people, and wanted to do many things that his predecessors could not do. What a ridiculous and arrogant attempt for the head of the Lin family and the big men who had just received rumors.
There was a long silence, the beach was depressing and tense, and there was a person across the blue sea and white clouds.
The voice on the other end of the phone was very slow, self-controlled and indifferent: "The dog is useless, you can kill him."
This was still not the answer Xu Le wanted, or even the answer he didn't expect.
The moment he heard this sentence, his thick eyebrows that were about to fly suddenly fell, and he looked at Lin Douhai with a pale face in front of him.
In the logic of these thousand-generation families, nothing is more important than the survival of the family, and once such a deformed family has no extreme pride, pride and overwhelming desire for power, it will gradually lose the instinctive basis for its existence. In a sense, the continuation of this dignity and pride is even more important than the continuation of bloodlines.
But I don't know why, maybe it's just to realize the fantasy picture of an ordinary person challenging the Seven Masters, Xu Le still wants to try it. So he remained silent, looking at Lin Douhai not far in front of him, his left hand behind him moved slightly.
The sniper rifles in the mountains opened fire violently!
Boom boom boom! The dense and dull sound of high-speed bullets resounded violently on the beach by the sea. In an instant, I don't know how many terrifying bullets enveloped this area, and the sandy rain was shot into the sky!
There was a burst of exclamations on the seashore, and the children of the powerful and nobles fled in all directions. At this moment, no one noticed Lin Douhai's constant howls of terror in the smoke.
The smoke fell, and the gunshots stopped.
Lin Douhai, who was covered with sores and sand lines, was pale, his thighs were trembling, his eyes were staring blankly ahead, his pupils could not focus at all, the front of the nightgown was water stained, with a few traces of stench, and he was about to fall down softly, not at all. Knowing that he is still alive, he has entered a miserable mental state of not knowing his life and death.
Xu Le put the phone beside his ear and waited silently.
After the phone was connected, the head of the Lin family said a word condescendingly and indifferently, and said a word lightly and indifferently.
However, he couldn't rub Xu Le's hard rock heart. He remained silent, simply using only the sound of gunfire to face the other party's bearing.
It's still the old saying, only the barrel of a gun can spew out a light breeze and light clouds. People wearing shoes are always afraid of people with bare feet.
Even though the Seven Families are omnipotent, Lin Douhai is at gunpoint at this moment. As long as Xu Le does not give in, no one can solve this problem, so someone must give in or Lin Douhai will die.
The silence on both sides of the phone was longer this time.
The people who were long enough to spread out cast their gazes back again, glanced around in disbelief, searching in vain for the terrifying sniper rifle, and the gentle sea breeze blew the sand, covering up all the dense and shrill bullet holes in the field. When she got up, the shocked expression on Li Feirong's face turned into a daze, and finally it was classified as fear and puzzlement, until she woke up and tried bravely to help Lin Douhai, who was ignorant of personnel.
Gu Xifeng's report came from Xu Le's ears: A signal was inserted into the line at the Lin family's side, and the Lin family's line could not be traced back at all, and this suddenly inserted signal could not be monitored. The other party's technical level was no better than seven. Group is weak.
Who would call the head of the Lin family at such a tense moment? Xu Le frowned and thought, and then a man with thin shoulders appeared in his mind, so his brows slowly spread out, becoming calmer.
Sure enough, after a while, he finally heard the voice of the head of the Lin family ringing again on the other end of the phone.
"This is our fault."
The head of the Lin family on the other end of the phone had an old and slightly tired voice: "On behalf of the Lin family, I formally apologize to you, and as the head of the Lin family, I assure you that similar problems will never arise again in the future."
In this world, no, it should be said that in history, how many people have heard the personal apology of the seven patriarchs, and have seen them bow their heads
Ordinary people of the Federation have never had the idea of confronting these thousand-generation families, not only because these families are mysterious and unattainable, but also because they know that doing so is futile.
Today's Xu Le has a big background and dozens of guns. He is no longer an ordinary person in the general sense, but compared with such a behemoth as the Seven Great Families, he still seems small and insignificant, but today he didn't even call any background, just Walking in with a group of brothers in a straight line, it proves that as long as you try to do it, maybe some things can really be done successfully.
Hearing the words ringing on the other end of the phone, Xu Le narrowed his eyes, grinned, showing his white teeth, and after a pause, he finally answered for the first time, "I heard that, sorry to bother you."
Then he hung up and waited for the next call that was coming soon.
