At the end of the country road was a village, and it was already half an hour later. This place is no longer within the boundaries of Bailu Town. It is very remote and Xia Lei has never been there.
A Shiba Inu barked at Xia Lei's Chevrolet Suburban, looking very ferocious. After Xia Lei pressed the button, it ran away. Ahead, Elena rode a battery car on a smaller road opened on the hillside. Xia Lei could no longer drive up this road. He got out of the car and climbed up on foot.
Elena still didn't stop, and she quickly disappeared on the path covered by trees. Xia Lei climbed up about a few hundred meters and found a small farmyard. There are several blue-tiled houses and a courtyard wall. Behind the house is a dense bamboo forest, and further away is an even denser mountain forest.
The door of the farmyard is closed tightly, and the paint on the door panel is almost peeling off. It is black, white, and red, but the colors are not bright. It has a sense of dilapidation after being exposed to wind and rain for decades. . Xia Lei walked over and opened the door without knocking because he already knew what was going on behind the courtyard door.
In the yard, Elena was standing behind a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a black and yellow face and big hands covered with calluses. He looked like an out-and-out farmer. But Xia Lei knew that he was not a farmer, he was his father Xia Changhe. Father Xia Changhe, like Elena, wears a human skin mask on his face.
Xia Lei couldn't help but smile. He was also worried that he could not find his father Xia Changhe, but he didn't expect that he would show up when he wanted to see him. It's like this every time.
"Dad, have you always lived here?" Xia Lei closed the courtyard door and walked up.
Xia Changhe opened his arms and held Xia Lei in his arms. He patted Xia Lei's back hard twice and then said: "FA organizations and CIA are chasing me all over the world. Where is the safest place? Of course Hua Lei is country. After you came back from Germany last time, I stayed in this place. The owner of this house moved into the city. They originally didn't want this place, so I rented it. This place is very close to you. If you have anything to do, , I can also come as soon as possible to support you."
"I really didn't expect you to be by my side." Xia Lei couldn't help but smile.
Yelena said: "When I have nothing to do, I am active in Bailu Town to collect information about you. Your father and I almost know what happened there. Otherwise, how do you think I would be here today? The time comes.”
"You already know what happened?" Xia Lei looked a little surprised.
Elena suddenly put her fingers into her mouth and blew a loud whistle.
Xia Lei suddenly realized something and turned towards the door. The door panel disappeared from his left eye, and a young man wearing a security uniform was walking towards him holding a package. What surprised him was that the package was exactly the package that Xia Xue gave him. He didn't take it off at all when he went up the mountain. Then, his eyes were fixed on the young man's face, and he suddenly froze.
That young man turned out to be the security guard of Thunder Horse Military Factory, Lu Sheng's subordinate. Xia Lei remembered his name. His name was Erdemutu, and he was a Mongolian. When Thunder Horse Military Factory expanded its security force recruitment, they were given priority because of their military experience. But he didn't expect that such an ordinary wage earner would appear in front of him in this way!
Erdemutu pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Lei, he lowered his head and said with a shameful expression: "Director Xia, I'm sorry... I work for your father."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Fortunately, he was working for his father Xia Changhe. It would be terrible if he was working for the FA organization or the CIA.
Erdemutu handed the package to Xia Changhe's hands.
Xia Changhe opened his eyes and sneered, "They finally used me to threaten you. Whether it's the FA organization or the CIA, their patience has been worn out by you."
Xia Lei said: "This package was sent by Gu Kewen. I suspect that she is now a double agent. On the surface, she is the Asia director of the CIA, but she is actually working for the FA organization's Ye Mosha. At the beginning, Long Bing After killing Gu Kewen in Japan, Ye Mosha took her body away. Gu Kewen was resurrected, and the only person who could save her was Ye Mosha."
Xia Changhe Demutu glanced at him and said, "Go down, outside."
Erdemutu nodded, turned and left the farmyard.
Xia Lei then said: "Dad, is he reliable?"
Xia Changhe said: "If he was unreliable, he would have died long ago. I have known him more than ten years ago, when he was only nine years old. His mother was seriously ill, and his father broke his leg on the construction site. I was out of business. The money healed his mother and funded his education. Every winter I would go to Mongolia to train him personally."
Xia Lei couldn't help but glance at Lena, and Elena was not the Russian version of Erdemutu. His dear Xia Changhe was very good at cultivating his own strength in this way.
"Dad, how many people like this do you have?" Xia Lei asked, he was very curious about this.
Xia Changhe said: "Twelve. I don't need a team of dozens or hundreds of people. I just need a team that is always elite, a team that can handle any task. They are distributed all over the world, and they can come and go when called. They They are all trained by me personally, but each has their own areas of expertise. It can be said that they are all carefully selected by me. The one who just left, his code name is - Tiger."
Xia Lei suddenly felt that his father was really a secretive old shark!
Xia Changhe stepped aside and pointed at Elena, "Her code name is Chicken."
"Chicken?" Xia Lei didn't expect Yelena to have such a code name in his father's house.
"Rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig." Xia Changhe said: "Their code names are one of the twelve zodiac animals. The one killed by Liang Siyao was a pig."
Xia Lei could not forget that woman, her name was Yevgenia. In Haizhu, Liang Siyao killed her with a sniper rifle. At that time, she was being exposed to Liang Siyao's true identity.
"Yevgenia is dead." After a pause, Xia Lei said, "Is there anyone to take her place?"
"Of course."
"who?"
Xia Changhe smiled and said, "I will keep her secret for the time being, but you will definitely know it when it's time to let you know. You have to remember that this zodiac team is the only gift that I, as a father, can give .Now, I will give this team to you, and from now on, they will obey your orders."
Xia Lei was stunned on the spot.
He knew very well that this zodiac team played a very key role in the reason why his father Xia Changhe could survive the global pursuit organized by CIA and FA. Also, his father Xia Changhe's ability to master intelligence from all over the world is undoubtedly also the role of this zodiac team. This zodiac team was equivalent to his possessing talisman, but now he gave it to him.
Father as a mountain. Xia Lei's eyes were already slightly moist, "Dad, if you give me the team you have worked so hard to build, what will you do?"
Xia Changhe sighed, "You come out to me in such a hurry, how can I not know what you are thinking? You have made so many achievements, isn't it just to exchange for me a peace, a place where I can take my grandson to the park? In old age? I’m old, and it’s time to get out of the firing line. But your journey has just begun, and this zodiac team can help you.”
You can't hide anything from Dad, and the old shark is the old shark.
"Dad, so you agree?"
"I don't agree. Isn't it in vain that you have paid so much? I'm afraid that girl Xia Xue has almost forgotten me. If I don't go home, she won't even recognize me. She is about to meet that man named Liu Zhengnan Is the kid getting married? I don't want to miss her wedding." Xia Changhe's eyes were full of tranquility and expectation.
No father wants to miss his daughter's wedding, even a shark-level father like Xia Changhe.
Xia Lei couldn't help but smile excitedly, "That's great. I can put it forward to the superiors. I've paid so much and this is my only request. They have no reason not to agree to it."
Elena said with some worry: "Then how do you tell those people about your father's identity?"
Xia Lei smiled, "That's not important. What's important is that he is my father. If they don't agree to me, they will regret it."
Xia Changhe said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the FA organization. With the FA organization's style, they will never send you a package to blackmail you."
Xia Lei said: "They attack and I fight back. I will make them regret it. This time, I will kill Gu Kewen no matter what."
"You don't have a decent bodyguard by your side, so take Yelena with you. She has good marksmanship and is best at clearing out potentially dangerous targets. Do you know why her codename is chicken? Chickens can eat hidden objects in the grass. There are bugs in there." Xia Changhe said.
Xia Lei Liena, "Will you follow me?"
Elena raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Because of your father's relationship, I can do anything for you."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Okay, I'm missing a secretary by my side, and it's you."
He originally asked the human resources department to recruit a secretary for her, but now that she has Elena, there is no need to recruit another secretary.
Xia Changhe said: "You have already met two of the members of the Zodiac Team, and there are ten that you have not met. After my matter is resolved, I will summon them to meet with you. I want to see them in front of them. Announce this matter face to face.”
"Will the man codenamed Pig come?" Xia Lei asked.
Xia Changhe patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will know who she is by then."
Xia Lei still couldn't help but guess the identity of the "pig", but unfortunately he couldn't guess it.
"Yelena, follow Xia Lei back. From now on, you are his. When you are his secretary, stop hiding your head and tail and take off the mask." Xia Changhe said.
Elena didn't say anything, just nodded. Then, she took off the human skin mask on her face, revealing her original face. Blonde, tall and long-legged, she is very sexy, but also gives people a very dangerous feeling.
Xia Lei also understood that the reason why a dangerous person like Yelena was willing to obey him was ultimately due to his father Xia Changhe. Although my father "washed his hands in a golden basin", these people would still obey his orders. Therefore, as long as Dad is still there, the members of the Zodiac Team will unite around him and listen to his commands!
Facing the threats from CIA and FA organizations, Xia Lei felt that his fists became hardened for the first time.
