Located on the S3 planet in the northwest star field, white snow floats in the cold air, the self-heating defrosting line in the interlayer of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall makes a low beeping sound, and the water flows from the frost surface. It's like an abstract line drawing.
Lin Banshan was facing the window, with his hands on his back, his thin and straight shoulders showed a hint of steepness, and his gray coat, which rarely changed, was like the gray cloudy and snowy day outside the window.
"I heard that the award speech for the best film at the awards ceremony was written by Bob. I have always admired the editor-in-chief. The speech is very well written, very similar to you."
He looked out of the window or at the water marks that were slowly sliding down on the glass, without looking back, the voice echoed in the room, and then sent it to another planet in the distance through the phone on the dark desk.
"The award speech is written very much like your character. There are many crazy people like you in this world, those incompetent lunatics, who usually only dare to attack the weak such as children or women, because this is a means of venting anger in order to seek mental peace. , can be achieved safely and easily.”
"But few people dare to slap the Lin family in the face like you, and the people who slap them are astonished and humiliated."
"It takes real courage and madness to step on the honor of the family, which is the most important thing for the elderly. You must know that even I am sometimes afraid and deeply puzzled. Survive for such a long time without self-exploding because of too much energy."
There was a smile in Lin Banshan's calm and steady eyes, and he said, "The old people haven't met a crazy person like you for many years, and they are not used to dealing with people like you, so I will discuss the specific follow-up measures. you talk."
Speaking of this, the man who once shocked the entire Seven Great Families, Yu Feng gave a slight pause and said, "Although I have already broken through the door, I believe that I am qualified to be this representative."
After the phone on the huge black wooden desk was silent for a moment, Xu Le's sincere and serious voice sounded.
"I have heard a lot of your stories, from the black car race next to the DC to Bermuda, many stories. The last time I saw you on the train, you left a deep impression on me, and I even sometimes feel that I have I adore you because you live a free and easy life, but I never seem to be able to do so freely."
"I have to remind you that now is not the time to admire." Lin Banshan replied with a smile: "Although the patience of the elderly is better than ours, it is still limited, especially when his most doting young son may die at any time. when."
He looked down at the Dafei watch on his left wrist and said: "I am not in Bermuda at this time, I am in S3, but it is impossible to appear at the scene. I think, in order to avoid the outburst of madness and anger of the old people, and to avoid the emergence of a federal government. There is a raging civil war, and we should reach an agreement as soon as possible."
Hearing this sentence, Xu Le's neat and tidy voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "I will let him go."
Hearing this answer, Lin Banshan's brows finally frowned slightly. He turned around and looked at the phone on the black desk. He didn't expect the other party's decision to come so quickly and so simply.
On the sofa in the corner of the room, Zhang Xiaohua and a pale middle-aged man in black were sitting. After hearing Xu Le's answer, the two of them couldn't help but raise their brows, revealing that Surprised look.
"This is the end of the assassination in Sunset State." Xu Le said on the phone, "I will let Lin Douhai go because your father has apologized and I trust you."
"But this belief has nothing to do with your identity legend. In the Medellin case, whether you intentionally or unintentionally, you helped me after all. You went to Bermuda to reveal his identity with your own hands."
"One more thing is, last time in the carriage, you broke the engagement between Lin Douhai and Miss Nan Xiang, and I admire it after thinking about it, because it has nothing to do with your interests or even your style of conduct, it's just about a The happiness of ordinary girls."
"You are a good person."
Hearing Xu Le's serious comments on the other end of the phone, Lin Banshan was silent for a long time.
The middle-aged man in black and Zhang Xiaohua in the room opened their mouths at the same time, their expressions were a bit weird, they seemed to want to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh in front of him.
Under the premise that the brilliance of the charter shrouded the four fields, Lin Banshan was still able to wave his sleeves lightly, break through the door, and face the family with cold eyebrows. With his hands alone, he invaded and fell in the day and night, laying down a large area of the country with a unique style. .
Although he was accustomed to wearing an ordinary gray coat, and he took care of the famous people in the garden, even the old man from Philadelphia would choose to rest here for a while when he went to the capital. , the underground industry kingdom spanning the Federation and the capital star circle, has long proven what kind of character he is.
The lady in Mochou Houshan once commented that he could be a hero in troubled times. In fact, even in the era of peace and prosperity, he would definitely become a hero.
For the person Lin Banshan, federal officials and dignitaries, Bermuda's pirate group and the underground world, there are many people who fear him, respect him, hate him, and want to eat raw meat, but few people will vote for him. I like this feeling.
Today was the first time he heard someone describe himself as a "good person". Lin Banshan felt a little inexplicable and felt very interesting. He felt that the little guy on the other end of the phone was really a wonderful person.
"The federal government and the Department of Defense don't make documentaries for people like me, so I'm not used to hearing good things like that, I'm more used to solving problems."
"Lin Douhai is my younger brother. There is a proverb in the Federation that a brother is born with half his life. If he wants to kill you, it is natural for you to kill him. Since you don't kill him, I will take over the half life. From today onwards, I owe you half my life."
"Although I really want to say that you don't have to worry about the possible anger of the old people, but whether this kind of old-fashioned family keeps its promises because of dignity, or is shameless because of dignity, I can't say for sure, after all, I was thinking about these things back then. I was too bored to leave."
He continued to say calmly: "But I can guarantee that Lin Douhai will be brought back to S3, and I will personally find someone to look after him."
"The seven groups under your command have contributed and took risks in the Sunset Sun Continent incident. One hundred million in cash is considered as compensation for them. Of course, the money is paid by the elderly in the family. I just opened my mouth."
Don't have Xu Le on the beach by the seaside of the manor holding the phone, and some did not respond. He thought that there would be countless military and police surrounding the manor, or later, the Lin family would show himself the truly terrifying strength of the Seven Families. , but did not expect that the content of the phone seems to be developing towards some kind of absurd plot.
In the green forest, a thick piece of wood covered with moss suddenly moved. The perfectly camouflaged Xiong Linquan listened to the words in the call system, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "One hundred million... Mr. Nutshell is much more generous, Lao Bai, damn, how many private jobs we had to do to earn it!"
In the dark space of the underground backup water channel 50 meters away from the computer control room of the manor, three members of the seventh group listened carefully to the conversation in their ears. Gu Xifeng, who was in charge of invading and controlling the security system, had slightly stiff fingers on the keyboard, facing the The miniature microphone said excitedly: "Fuck, I do private work with the boss, this situation is different."
Hidden in an inconspicuous gray building on the edge of the mountain forest, all the bodyguards of the manor have been disarmed and concentrated, but Magnolia, who is in charge of the action, is in the office next to him. He is sitting on a chair and listening to the voice in the earphone, he can't help it. He bowed his head and smiled.
His dexterous fingers flicked the delicate knife lightly, and there was a sharp army thorn hidden in the densely woven scabbard under his left hand, and the H12 pistol lay quietly on his thigh.
The strong man of the Lin family, Uncle Kong, sat silently on the chair opposite. Seven groups of ice and fire silently occupied the manor. , Uncle Kong's slightly gloomy cheeks had a feeling of old age.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Banshan said to the pale middle-aged man in black, "Last time you said that Li Xiaotong sent a young man named Li Wei to Bermuda, and finally found out that he was a friend of Xu Le?"
"It has been confirmed, but it is very strange. We have never been able to find out why Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le knew this person. What is even more strange is that I once asked for the relationship help in the Charter Bureau in your name, only to find that many files have been classified as top secret. "
Hearing this sentence, Lin Banshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "This is the end, don't investigate further, some things are not things we can touch."
"Understood." The middle-aged man in black replied simply.
"Tell Bermuda to keep an eye on the man named Li Wei, and don't let him lose half of his eyebrows." Lin Banshan said with a slight mockery: "It's not good to owe Xu Le half your life, looking at this young man's ability, it seems that It is difficult to protect his friends when we need to save his life, and it is also considered to pay some interest first."
"If the Lin family really wants to retaliate, Xu Le and his team members will definitely not be able to stop him. Will he ask the Philadelphia side to come forward, or does he want Mr. President to speak? Seriously, I'm really curious that once your family strikes with all their strength, What kind of storm will it cause in the Commonwealth?"
Zhang Xiaohua stood behind him and asked with a smile, the tattoo was deformed and broke free from the collar, which was very clear.
"If my father believes what I said on the phone call just now, then there will be no storm, only calm."
Lin Banshan said with a complicated expression: "You and I both know how ruthless the two experts who went from Bermuda to Xilin are. But the most terrifying thing is not the result of them failing to kill Xu Le, but the fact that Xu Le was in this game. The absolute control shown in the assassination."
"The three idiots' plans, if there is no acquiescence and help from the old man, how can they be so meticulously woven?"
"The clan's influence spreads across every corner of the federal structure. Even the tiger of the Zhong family would find it difficult to organize the plan, but this guy Xu Le took a dozen people to solve it lightly, and the response was so precise and concise. "
"I always have a feeling that from the beginning, Xu Le knew all the plans." Lin Banshan frowned and said, "I don't understand how he did it."
In the earlier phone call, he warned the disgusting father extremely sternly: "Such a person is not easy to kill. According to his character, if you can't kill him, you may be killed by him. Death, and the probability of this is very high."
If the Seven Families are truly omnipotent, why not just blow up the presidential mansion or buy the lake in Philadelphia? If you can't do it, then don't provoke Xu Le.
Lin Banshan thinks so.
Volume III Journey to Xilin Chapter 238 The big killer, the tranquility after the phone still rings "Today, Xu Le brought his troops and made such a mess in broad daylight, just to warn those habitual Old people hiding in the shadows and controlling everything: don't mess with me."
"This statement may not have any taste, but firearms and strength are the real strength. Now this guy can at least pull out two battalions at any time - the two battalions here refer to the diehard, the kind who can violate the military discipline law for him. The diehard, plus his trump cards that didn't show up, if it was me back then, maybe I would try to be so crazy."
Lin Banshan took out a special long-length cigarette from his gray coat, lit it, took a sip, and said with a light smile: "When we got out of the car, we once commented that he was too young and not frivolous, but now it seems that he finally has some normal people's feelings. Taste, Xiaoxiao is frivolous, but I don't know what the source of his frivolous confidence is."
To describe Lin Banshan as a person with intelligence will only appear too shallow and too thin.
People in the federation can only see Xu Le and the seven teams' powerful fighting ability, His Excellency the President's trust and love for him, and the secret relationship between the old man in Philadelphia and him, but no one can assassinate him from Sunset State like him. In the event and some other details, the most crucial issue is gradually touched.
In his early years, this man resolutely gave up his status as the heir of the aristocratic family, betrayed his family in an arrogant manner, and cut himself off from the family's fathers. The beast-like survival instinct allowed him to smell the most dangerous smell.
That was the part that made Xu Le dare to be frivolous.
It's just that no matter how sharp and amazing his thinking is, there is no way to really guess the truth of the matter, because that part has gone beyond the outer edge of normal people's imagination and has a mysterious atmosphere, so he can only warn himself seriously. His father, and the big men that Xu Le tried to warn, as to whether those people would accept it or not, it was not within his control.
Being able to know and accompany the federal central computer, and possessing the first-order authority, this is Xu Le's greatest capital. This capital far exceeds the mysterious power in his body, and is even more powerful than the figure behind President Pabble and the war god Lipiff betting on him. Unbeatable.
It is precisely because of this confidence that he dared to challenge the Seven Great Families head-on. No matter how powerful those families are, they can only hide in the shadow of history and try to influence the progress of mankind. It's human history.
Infiltrating all levels of the Federation, the seven great families with unlimited potential power are extremely powerful existences for anyone. However, if these families want to launch certain actions against Xu Le now, no matter how secretive these actions are, it is impossible to escape the ubiquitous monitoring of the federal central computer. Xu Le and his subordinates will have plenty of time to formulate The most precise, even tailor-made plan, to counter the monstrous waves of the opponent.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the mysterious and terrifying Seven Great Families are just countless dots of light wearing citizen numbers in the horizon of his left eye. As long as he wants, he can know every order issued by the Lin Family Patriarch. By digging out all the hidden lines of these families in the government agencies, he can easily find out the secret of the black chair that the old man of the Li family has been sitting on, and he can even peep everything in this half of the universe, such as entering Nan Xiang's house The estate to see what...
Of course, the absolute protection of citizens' privacy by the First Charter will inevitably bring some inconvenience to Xu Le's demands. At least the wisdom who hides his body in the underground of the Charter Bureau has to struggle with a lot of self-righteous procedural impulses.
Xu Le was not willing to accept that he was such a terrifying existence, and he couldn't get used to being above all living beings like a god, overlooking the beauty and ugliness of billions of lives, only when he and the people he cared about were threatened. , he definitely didn't mind using this big killer.
On the third day after the Nebula Awards, the craze about the Seven Groups and the documentary of the same name continued to heat up in the Federation, and the Lin family, who had been humiliated like never before, was obviously still hesitating to leave Xu Le, who had no other country, and Seven who were on vacation again. The team members did not usher in any official investigation or private cleaning and revenge, but vaguely, the color of wind and thunder was accumulating in the atmosphere of this planet. scattered.
The carnival of ordinary people is in stark contrast to the tension in the upper classes that they have never seen.
At six o'clock in the morning on this day, the old man in Philadelphia, who was wearing old-fashioned clothes, took a fishing rod made of old green bamboo according to his old habit, sat on the boulder in the old place by the lake, and began to fish silently or Talk about thinking or recuperating from the fatigue accumulated on the battlefield decades ago.
His son, General Li Zaidao, president of the First Federal Military Academy, hurried back from the Capital Territory, his calm and elegant demeanor in the past has long been replaced by worry.
After the father and son had a brief conversation that no one knew about, Li Zaidao returned to the house and made a phone call.
At 8:00 in the morning, the White Presidential Residence, which is separated by a forest from Charter Square, began its busy work every day. Numerous electronic documents from various administrative districts gathered here, waiting for the convening of the joint meeting, waiting for President Pabble's review and approval. sign.
The affairs officials negotiated with a solemn expression, made a final calculation of the probability of passing an important bill on Parliament Hill in 12 days, and confirmed which senior members needed the official residence or even the president. change in attitude.
At this time, Director Brin, who should have had a headache in the conference room, unexpectedly left the official residence building. He listened to the singing of the morning birds above his head under a Huaijin Huai tree, dialed Mochou Houshan's phone with a grim expression, and conveyed the opinions of the Philadelphia side and the President to the lady.
Mrs. Tai did not express any opinion on this matter, but after lunch, after obtaining her consent, Secretary Shen made a phone call to Tie Suanli's headquarters manor.
I don't know what the father of Federal Finance, who likes to wear a small round hat and is used to sitting on a black chair, made a calculation in his old and cunning or wise heart. People only know that the old man of Liyuan Palace was before dinner. Dial a call to Lin's house.
After the phone call, the old man of Liyuan Palace slowly raised the corners of his drooping and old lips, and said to Li Xiuzhu, who was standing quietly in front of him, "I told you before that someone in the federation once laughed at me, this little boy. Round hat, unexpectedly, there is another person like Xu Le in the federation now. Looking at the attitude of Madam and Philadelphia, as well as the changes in the past few years, I am indeed a little curious, what is the relationship between Xu Le and the former guy? kind of relationship.”
Li Xiuzhu's face was calm, but deep down he was shocked and speechless. He didn't understand why his father persuaded the Lin family to let go. It was definitely not just because of Philadelphia, the official residence, and Mochou Houshan, but because of some reasons he didn't understand, just Hearing his father's answer at this time, his shock did not subside, but intensified.
How could anyone in the Federation dare to mock his father's sacrosanct little round hat in person? He heard his father talk about this past, but he still refused to believe it. Could it be... that person has something to do with Xu Le
"Lin Banshan betrayed his family, and his distant relative Lin Yuanhu also died. Apart from the old guy, the Lin family really doesn't have any talents, and they can't even understand these things. I would like to praise you again. In the incident, you behaved very well. Always remember one thing: we are businessmen, not killers. Your brother has always done well on this point, and you have to learn from him. "
"Understood." Li Xiuzhu replied without complaint.
"There may be some past events and some secrets in this world, but we don't need to take the risk to inquire about it to confirm it. Knowing these is enough. Knowing, sometimes it is capital."
The old man of Liyuan Palace said with a smile: "But if you let others know that you know, that's the way to bring disaster."
A few simple phone calls are actually not that simple. From fishing early in the morning, to lunch beside the picturesque country, to dinner, the most powerful figures in the Federation spent a whole day for something that happened suddenly. Think and decide.
Perhaps it was the attitude or persuasion of various aspects that made the Lin family, one of the Seven Great Families, feel the pressure that had not appeared in many years. Let the elders of the Lin family think again and again. In short, a conflict that should have been thrown into the sky disappeared without a sound.
No one knew that on the night when the decision to quit was made, a top-secret phone call from the Charter Bureau directly invaded the landline connected to the Lin family's study.
The Director of the Charter Office, who has never interacted with federal politicians or family leaders, did not say much on the phone, but only gently reminded the other party that once many things start, they must be forced to continue, and never The Charter Bureau, which interferes with specific social affairs, may make some moves because of some unavoidable procedural issues.
It was such a bright spring day, Xu Le, who expressed the sullen mood of the assassination incident, looked at the black and white landscape in the distance outside the window, showing a happy smile.
He knew very well that behind this peaceful and peaceful place, there must be countless people's wrestling, but he didn't care. Lin Douhai was placed under house arrest again, and Zhong Erlang on Xilin's side would probably find it difficult to leave Jingwei Er, and the incompetent son of the leader of Nanshui would probably only be able to live a hard life in Qinglong Mountain, with the beautiful scenery outside the window, which was enough.
The phone that was taken away from his ears kept ringing annoyed and scolding, Xu Le answered sincerely, and then heard the Defense Minister on the other end of the phone asking in a deep voice, "If there is another time, you What will you do?"
Xu Le was silent for a moment, then replied seriously, "I will kill him directly."
Minister Zou was also silent for a moment and said, "I didn't hear that."
Xu Le laughed, looking at Zou Yu who was enjoying Linyuan food across the table and said, "I only gradually realized now that you and the minister have really similar personalities."
