Madman Li, who was known to be invincible in the military, was secretly admitted to the Army general hospital that night. Of course, he was using a nickname. This 16-year-old military officer had never suffered any setbacks in his life. Whether it was because of his youthful vigor or his arrogance, he was not willing to let this embarrassing news spread throughout the world.
The fight between the two people in Linyuan was actually extremely dangerous. In that kind of situation, whoever held back would only end up dead. In the end, both of them survived. Nothing serious happened. It was purely a matter of luck. Xu Le and Madman Li's three hits and one burst was extremely violent. In the last moment, because of a strange feeling of harmony, their limbs collided and the two people were knocked away.
Both Xu Le and Madman Li knew that if the situation at that time had been changed to any other situation, one of them would have probably left on the spot to deal with the aftermath.
Because of the commotion in the Lin Garden, the news of Deputy Minister Zou's daughter being pregnant before marriage spread like wildfire. It was as if the news had wings attached to it, and it instantly spread throughout the upper class of Beijing. While people were shocked, they also couldn't help but have a bit of rumination. They wondered how Deputy Minister Zou was going to deal with this matter, and whether or not the always low-key and mysterious Tai family would tolerate this kind of humiliation.
Most people had forgotten about the existence of the young civilian Second Lieutenant. In the eyes of the upper echelons of society, this Second Lieutenant was only the trigger point of the incident. There wasn't much that was worth paying attention to.
There were many people who didn't have foresight, but not everyone didn't notice the conflict between Madman Li and the civilian Second Lieutenant.
The boss behind Linyuan, Lin Banshan, was naturally someone who knew how to judge goods. While he was out of town, after seeing the surveillance video of that day through the Internet, he just smiled and said, "I didn't expect Madman Li to be at a disadvantage in a fight. That's really surprising."
What kind of person was Lin Banshan? He was the most famous wastrel among the seven major families in the Federation. His pair of eyes that specialized in examining aesthetics in the starry sky had long been recognized by everyone. This comment spread back to the capital a few days later, and it couldn't help but cause many people to look back at Linyuan that night.
People began to pay attention to the civilian first lieutenant. Although a few forces knew his name through investigation, this first lieutenant was still a nameless person. However, it was possible that he could become the future son-in-law of Deputy Minister Zou, steal the future concubine of the Tai family's son, and fight to a draw with the crazy Lees of Philadelphia … no matter how nameless he was, he would eventually become famous.
The upper echelons of society in the Federation consisted of the seven major families, politicians, and professional soldiers. They looked at the law with contempt, avoided the constitution, and controlled the majority of human society's resources and information. This circle was the ruler of society. For tens of thousands of years after the beginning of the constitutional era, the entire Federation society was under this kind of control. This situation had been stable for tens of thousands of years. The civilian Second Lieutenant named Xu Le was like a small stone that suddenly broke into a bagel. It was a bit abrupt and a bit conspicuous.
However, at this time, Xu Le was still only a topic that the upper echelons of society would occasionally talk about after a meal.
Over the countless years, who knew how many outstanding talents had appeared among the citizens of the Federation. These outstanding figures who had climbed up from the bottom of society would in the end throw themselves into the circle they belonged to, be accepted, and then assimilated, becoming a part of this circle.
In the eyes of the upper echelons of society that controlled the Federation, if Xu Le could really marry Zou Yu, then he would naturally also enter this circle in the future. Even so, this was only one of countless examples. Naturally, they didn't need to pay too much attention to it. They didn't know the true relationship between Xu Le and Zou Yu at all.
Those truly important figures wouldn't care about what happened in Linyuan. At the very least, the powers in the Federation's upper echelons who supported Jingzhou Governor Ross and Senator Macklin didn't pay attention to him, even though Xu Le's name had already begun to appear in a lot of information.
If one day, Xu Le displayed abilities that were worth paying attention to, based on his relationship with the Tai family and the Zou family, perhaps the huge power that was lurking in the shadows would begin to suppress him. However, to those important figures, the scene in Linyuan was just a boring competition between young people who had eaten too much. No matter how amazing Xu Le's combat power was, it wouldn't change their calm emotions at all.
After all, he wasn't Madman Li. Behind the crazy power, there was a family and a god behind him …
…
…
Feicheng, by the side of the Calm Lake, in front of the snow mountain.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a black retro double-breasted suit was chatting with an old man. Some inauspicious light brown spots had begun to grow on the old man's face. Every time he saw these spots, the middle-aged man's mood would become a little lower. No matter how strong a human was, no, it should be said that he was the strongest human in the Federation, in the face of time, he would still appear so weak.
He was a major general in the Federation. However, when he was at home, he never wore a military uniform. This was because this was his father's rule. Ever since the end of the war with the Empire more than ten years ago, his father had personally sealed up the marshal's uniform. After that, he never wore a military uniform again. Instead, he always wore a rather ancient long gown.
"How are Mu Zi's results?"
The highest rank in the Federation's military was a general. Other than during wartime, the president would wear the title of marshal in the name of the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. Since the 37th constitutional calendar, the only exception was this old man. During the first war between the Federation and the Empire, this old man, with the fanatical support of hundreds of millions of Federation citizens, relied on his amazing achievements and was conferred the title of marshal by the management committee of the Federation.
The president's term of office was once every five years. He could only be re-elected once. However, this old man's position in the hearts of the Federation's citizens would never diminish. In a certain sense, this old man wearing a long gown was the true number one person in the Federation.
However, this military god of the Federation, at this moment, spoke with the tone of an ordinary old man. He was extremely similar to an ancestor who longed for familial love.
"Mu Zi's results after entering Academy One's Command Department are already very good. During this half year, he didn't fall behind in his studies either," Major General Lee replied with a smile.
"I'm only worried that the child is too famous. His life in the academy will be a bit troublesome," the old man said with a smile.
Major General Lee also smiled. That unknown niece of his was probably one of the few people in the entire Federation whose fame could be mentioned in the same breath as his father. He suddenly thought of something. In a low voice, he said, "Li Feng is still kneeling in front of the manor's entrance. When will you let him in?"
"That's your precious son. I can only control my son, but not him." The old man closed his eyes. Through the empty wall of the courtyard, he felt the slightly cold wind blowing from the surface of the lake. He calmly said, "As a soldier, he didn't listen to the orders of his superiors. Even if it is later proven that his choice at that time was correct, this kind of attitude still cannot be forgiven."
Major General Lee was silent. He knew that his father was blaming him for being too arrogant in disciplining his son. However, Li Feng had been thrown into the army by his father when he was 12 years old. For the past four years, he had lived such a crazy life. As a father, he felt boundless guilt toward his own son. Naturally, he couldn't bear to be too strict.
"What do you mean by invincible in the army? There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Federation. Who knows how many masters in the body cultivation hall. This time, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't speak. Only then did he know that the military pot was made of iron. "
The old man slowly opened his eyes. "This is also a lesson for him. Otherwise, if he continues to be so arrogant, he won't have a good time at the front line of the West Woods."
Major General Lee was silent. He was very clear about his son's terrifying strength. In the Federal military, there were few people who could be his opponent. However, since his father said so, he certainly didn't dare to refute. It was only when he heard the words "front line of the West Woods" that his expression became a little more serious.
Whether it was Commander Zhong or that Fatty Tian, when they saw Madman Li, they would probably have the urge to go up and beat him up.
…
…
Xu Le didn't know who would be alarmed by his fight with Madman Li in the Linyuan restaurant, but this didn't affect his clear-headed judgment. Perhaps without him knowing, he had already entered a certain circle.
His identity as a fugitive from the Federation didn't worry him much. It had been almost two years, and neither the Tai family nor the Shell Motor Company had found out his true identity. It seemed that after the Central Computer of the Bureau of Proclamation confirmed it, there were no forces or geniuses that connected him, a second lieutenant, to an unknown orphan in the East Woods area.
The only thing that worried him was that he wasn't sure if Madman Li had detected the power he used. Madman Li was able to obtain the title of invincible in the army, and the strength he displayed in the Linyuan restaurant was indeed exceptionally terrifying. Under these circumstances, he, who wasn't at a disadvantage, should have attracted some people's attention.
The Lees of Philadelphia … Could his secret be hidden from the eyes of the Federation's God of War? Besides, Xu Le always had a vague feeling that Uncle Feng Yu might have an unclear relationship with the Lees of Philadelphia.
Because of this vigilance, after returning from the Linyuan restaurant that night, Xu Le started to get busy. From the utility room in the apartment, he took out a lot of standard wires and some common equipment that he ordered online, and started to assemble and decorate as fast as he could.
Sitting on the sofa, Zou Yu thoughtfully looked at Xu Le who was busy. She didn't know what this guy was busy with outside the apartment building. The weather in the late spring was finally hot, and Xu Le couldn't stay at home to be exposed to the cold air. Sweating profusely, he simply took off his coat. Zou Yu looked at his well-proportioned body and exposed muscles, and her beautiful nose twitched slightly …
It's just well-proportioned, that's all. How can this body contain so much strength? He can actually fight to a draw with Madman Li? Zou Yu was puzzled. At the entrance of the Linhai nightclub, she already knew that Xu Le was very good at fighting and could fight to a draw with Hook, a former special forces soldier. But what kind of person was Madman Li? The only heir of the Lees of Philadelphia, the crazy young military officer who had never met a worthy opponent …
"What are you busy with?"
At this time, Xu Le broke open the wires in the walls of the apartment. With a serious expression, he broke open the tricolored wires and began to connect to the data wires and equipment in the apartment. Zou Yu finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
Xu Le didn't answer her for the time being. Only when all the data wires were gathered into a device by his bed and the final data was corrected did he relax slightly and explain, "I installed some surveillance equipment around the perimeter of the apartment."
Zou Yu's eyebrows furrowed. She didn't understand the meaning of Xu Le's words. Could it be that this guy was worried that his father or brother would mobilize the military to arrest him? Not to mention that in the complicated political environment in the capital, would his father or brother be stupid enough to use military force to resolve family matters? Even if this really happened, could it be that Xu Le wanted to rely on these abnormally crude surveillance equipment to discover the whereabouts of the military in advance?
She couldn't help but laugh slightly.
At this time, Xu Le's back was facing her, so he naturally didn't see her expression. He seriously pulled out an extremely thin holographic screen from the device and looked at the different colored dots on the holographic screen. He lightly sighed. This was the equipment that Shi Qinghai gave him before he left. When he was escaping from the Federation Investigation Bureau's pursuit in Linhai state, this set of surveillance equipment played a very important role.
The range of the surveillance was about 500 meters around the apartment building. The main principle was to obtain the power of the Federal military or Investigation Bureau's communication device and then distinguish it. Xu Le used the materials he ordered online to supplement the periphery of this set of equipment. It should be able to barely achieve the effect that Shi Qinghai used it before.
He turned his head and looked at Zou Yu. He suddenly became silent for a moment because he wasn't worried about the Zou family, but … the Lees of Philadelphia and the entire Federation. The original purpose of living with Zou Yu was to ensure the safety of her and the child in her belly. However, because of the Linyuan incident, Xu Le fell into a state of vigilance. He realized that Zou Yu wasn't very safe with him.
"These two days, there hasn't been any reaction from your family." After a moment of silence, Xu Le said, "It seems that your brother is very frightened by your actions. According to the Federation's law, the fetus after six months has the corresponding human rights. I think … after a while, your family will be forced to accept this fact. When that time comes, you should go home, right?"
Zou Yu's eyes lit up, but it was the kind of cold light that reflected the light of the two moons like ice. She quietly stared at Xu Le's face, and a cold smile gradually appeared on her face. She opened her mouth and said, "What? It hasn't even been a month, and you can't take it anymore? "
Xu Le knew that she misunderstood something. He lowered his head and explained, "It's my problem. I'm worried that you won't be safe with me."
Shi Qinghai was the only person in the world who could see at first glance that Xu Le was hiding a heavy secret under his sunny face. It was very obvious that the mother of his unborn child didn't have this ability. But seeing Xu Le's abnormal behavior today, as well as these words, and then thinking about the tenacity and calmness that Xu Le had displayed these past few days, Zou Yu finally discovered a trace of a problem.
"You have a secret … and … it has to do with Madman Li." Zou Yu gently supported her bulging belly and slowly stood up. She calmly looked at him and said, "You're ready to run away at any time."
Xu Le was silent, not knowing how to answer her.
"No wonder even Madman Li couldn't smash you to death. It seems that I still underestimated you. I always thought that in the future you would shine brightly in the Federation, but I didn't expect that you've been hiding your strength all this time."
"Everyone has their own secrets. I just realized that being with me won't make you safer." Xu Le sincerely advised.
Zou Yu quietly looked at him. After a long time, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "It's very late. I'm going to sleep."
After saying this, Zou Yu took off the towel wrapped around her head, threw it on the sofa, and walked to her bedroom without looking back.
It wasn't until she closed the bedroom door and sat on the bed that Zou Yu felt a trace of disbelief about her previous performance. She looked at herself in the mirror without makeup and slightly frowned.
She was becoming more and more accustomed to her face without makeup. Although when she had afternoon tea with Lady Tai, she only wore light makeup, but … how many years had it been since her face was so clean?
Just as Xu Le said, with the heroic spirit Zou Yu had displayed in the teahouse that day, whether it was Zou Yu or that big shot from the Ministry of Defense, there was nothing they could do. They could only watch as Zou Yu gave birth to the child.
However, Zou Yu didn't want to leave this simple apartment. She quietly looked at herself in the mirror, becoming more and more beautiful. She thought to herself that staying in this apartment to block trouble for Xu Le was not something she would do in the past. When did she become a good girl who was willing to be considerate of irrelevant people?
Was it because of the child in her arms, or was it because that guy washed her hair? Perhaps she was just used to this kind of peaceful environment where she didn't have to worry about anything.
Outside the bedroom door, Xu Le stared blankly at the closed door. Although Zou Yu didn't say anything, from her previous words and actions, she definitely wouldn't leave.
He very sensitively guessed the thoughts of this unmarried mother.
Zou Yu didn't know what his trouble was, but she knew that as the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Defense and a girl who had a good relationship with Lady Tai, any trouble in the Federation would always be more powerless when she was with Xu Le.
He walked into the bathroom and happily took a cold shower. Wearing a bath towel, he walked in front of the mirror and began to carefully shave. He began to more carefully shave the fine hairs between his eyebrows. He gently stroked the cold metal bracelet on his wrist and confirmed the location of the new stun baton. He raised his head and looked at his knife-like eyebrows in the mirror. He was silent for a long time.
Zou Yu had changed. In the mirror, Xu Le smiled happily, giving birth to a trace of warmth and happiness.
…
…
The next few days were the complete opposite of Xu Le's vigilance. It was as calm and peaceful as usual. It was as if the battle with Madman Li in Linyuan didn't have any negative effects at all. Every morning, Xu Le made breakfast and wrote a note to remind Zou Yu where the microwave food in the freezer was stored. Then, he drove the unmarked black car through Highway 2, past Hawking Avenue and the Ministry of Finance, and drove towards the First Military Academy.
Professor Shen was still in the hospital. He didn't know what illness he had. With this old professor's age, it was probably a sad time for him to be plagued with hundreds of illnesses. Sometimes, Xu Le thought that as Professor Shen's only research assistant, he should go to the hospital to visit. However, he didn't have Professor Shen's contact information, and the officials at the research institute didn't reply to his emails.
After finishing a day of work at the research institute, Xu Le drove the black car back to his simple apartment in Wangdu. He started to cook dinner, prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's lunch, do the housework, and search for the things and information he needed on the civilian Internet. Sometimes, he even washed Zou Yu's hair. Her smooth, black hair twirled between his steady, slender fingers …
Now, he and Zou Yu would occasionally chat, and the atmosphere between the two of them was getting better and better. However, after Zou Yu asked Shi Qinghai for the nth time about interesting childhood stories, Xu Le suddenly realized that he couldn't find anything new to talk about. Or rather, between the two of them, they didn't need to talk too much in the first place.
Life passed by just like that, day after day. It seemed normal and boring, but in reality, it was peaceful and quiet.
In this peaceful life, the only thing that made Xu Le feel excited and excited was that now, in the laboratory that was exclusively for him, he could finally fully display his mechanical talents. His research on the signal acquisition system for the simulator had reached a critical juncture!
With the help of the all-encompassing blueprints in his mind, Xu Le was sure that as long as he was given enough time to experiment, he would definitely be able to complete the modification of the simulation system and use the power in his body to directly operate mecha.
If he could really succeed, it would undoubtedly be a revolutionary breakthrough in mecha control. Unfortunately, this method could only be used by Xu Le alone, or perhaps by Uncle Feng Yu, or perhaps … by the Lees of Philadelphia?
Xu Le was able to accomplish this because, other than relying on Professor Shen's laboratory's enormous database and its rich material inventory, more importantly, he had built an extremely solid foundation of practical experience under the subtle influence and guidance of Uncle Feng Yu over the years.
More importantly, of course, were those strange blueprints in his mind.
Those structures and designs that were vaguely beyond the current level of the Federation's technology were not necessarily perfect. In fact, many of them were completely unfeasible. However, those strange and even absurd design concepts and structures had given Xu Le great inspiration. Without the inspiration and help of these blueprints, he definitely would not have been able to complete the full modification of the signal acquisition system for the simulation system by himself.
It should be known that any research in the Federation's field of study had to be built on the basis of a large number of experiments and design simulations. No expert had ever been able to completely modify a system by himself.
In a situation where no one knew, in a laboratory in the Husk Institute's Third Division, there was a young civilian second lieutenant who had produced results that were destined to shock many people.
However, Xu Le needed the opportunity to experiment. That would require him to interact with a mecha alone for a long period of time. And this was relatively difficult. The Federation mecha was an absolute secret. With Xu Le's current level of secrecy, although he could access the information, he could not reasonably request to come into contact with the actual mecha.
In order to convert his virtual designs on the holographic screen desktop into reality, Xu Le needed to be able to solve the several difficult problems in the engineering department. Only then would he be able to enter the core area of the engineering department and experiment with his own things.
However, the problem of the twin engines was not something the current Xu Le could solve. He stared blankly at the blueprints on the holographic screen desktop, his brows furrowed tightly. The complex power system was completely different from the simulation system. Not to mention coming up with an effective solution, just the terrifying amount of calculations and capturing the trajectory of the electron jets were already abnormally difficult.
