Hearing Xu Le's request, the director was taken aback. He did not respond immediately, but instead smiled and said, "Second Lieutenant Xu, there are many other research departments in the Research Institute's Three Divisions. Which one are you more interested in?"
Xu Le didn't answer him. She just lowered her head and remained silent. The atmosphere in the office instantly became somewhat tense. The director used a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with some difficulty, "This matter is really a little difficult to handle."
Although he did not know the inside story, yesterday morning, the technical supervisor of the company had directly requested that Professor Shen's laboratory be sealed. Moreover, there was also the shadow of those big shots from the Federal Academy of Science behind the scenes. He was just an administrative officer, so of course he did not dare to offend the other party. The problem was, the young second lieutenant standing silently in front of him right now did not seem like someone he could offend either.
Right then, Xu Le repeated, "I'm just going in to take some personal things."
The director wiped away the increasing amount of cold sweat on his forehead, his mind turning quickly. He did not want to offend either side, and even more so, did not dare to offend them. If this son-in-law of the Deputy Minister of Defence only wanted to enter the laboratory to finish up some loose ends, the other side would not be too displeased.
The Husk Institute's data security measures were excellent. If this person was allowed to enter the laboratory, he would not be able to cause damage to the database and everything in the laboratory without alerting the security department. Thinking of this, the director made up his mind. He raised his head and said seriously, "The board of directors is currently processing the written order. Tomorrow morning. Second Lieutenant Xu, if you move quickly, there should be no problem."
Xu Le nodded and left the office. Although until now, he still had not thought of a way to steal Professor Shen's research results and the repair design of the MX prototype mecha, at least he would be able to enter the laboratory tomorrow. When the time came, he would take one step at a time. If it really did not work out, he would have to use physical methods to destroy all the storage devices. However, if he did that, it would be a pity and a disservice to Professor Shen.

In a high-rise building on Seventh Avenue in the special capital region, the top floor of the Sanlin United Bank's headquarters was a dome made entirely of high-strength glass. It greedily absorbed the light and heat of the sun, allowing the green plants on the top floor to grow happily.
In the spacious top floor of the building, there was only a desk made of black sea wood. Behind the desk was a chair, and in front of the desk was a sofa. It seemed particularly lonely, but the person behind the table was very used to this kind of loneliness. His family had stood at the top of the Federation's financial world for countless years. This kind of loneliness was actually a kind of glory.
At the age of 27, he was already the vice president of the Sanlin United Bank, and the heir to one of the seven major families in the Federation. He was used to standing on the top floor of the tall building in the Capital Special District, watching the joys and sorrows of the common people below his feet through the glass.
But today, he wasn't looking at the scenery. Instead, he looked at the intelligence files on the table seriously. After a long time, he looked up and said calmly, "We must get the data in the third laboratory of the research institute. This is Secretary Luo's request. Although the Academy of Science can pressure the Nutshell Board directly, the assistant researcher seems to be a little troublesome.
Opposite the desk stood a blonde young man in a military uniform. He was Park Ji Ho, an intern at the Shell Motor Corporation Engineering Dept.. This proud and outstanding young man slightly lowered his head, carefully listening to the instructions of the person behind the table. He didn't dare to look up at the other party.
He could get along with the seventh young master of the Li family, Li Xiaotong, like friends, but the real heir of the Li family behind the table was as dazzling as the sun. Park Ji Ho even suspected that if he dared to look at the other party, his eyes would be blinded. How could there be such a beautiful man in the Federation? How could he be so dazzling?
Li Xiuzhu was the most beautiful man in the Federation. His eyebrows were as clear and bright as bamboo leaves in a painting. The windshield outside the Sanlin United Bank building was blocked by a glass wall, but that pair of bamboo-like eyebrows seemed to be gently swaying in the wind.
He smiled and looked at the cautious Park Ji Ho in front of him, and said, "If you handle this matter well, I will recommend you directly to the Federal Academy of Science. Maybe you can become Dean Lin's student."
The expression on Park Ji Ho's face finally changed. He gently clenched his fists that were hanging by his side. When he entered the Nutshell Mobility Company from the Military Academy, he had always thought that he was outstanding. However, he did not expect that he would always be suppressed by Zhou Yu from the First Academy. Then, during the spring recruitment exam, there was the poacher named Xu Le …
Directly enter the Federal Academy of Science and become the Dean's student? This was as wonderful as a dream.
"The laboratory has been sealed. The written order from the board of directors will be sent the day after tomorrow. I don't understand why you still want to deal with the second lieutenant at this time." Park Ji Ho didn't lose all rational judgment because of this wonderful dream.
Li Xiuzhu raised his head, looked at him with a trace of appreciation, and said, "You don't need to understand how I do things. You just need to do it."
He didn't explain, but it seemed that the young master of the Li family wasn't unhappy. Park Ji Ho secretly sighed in relief.
At this time, Li Xiuzhu lowered his head again and seriously looked at the documents on the desk. He suddenly said, "Since he is the future son-in-law of Minister Zou, be careful. Don't kill anyone … After the Lin Hai Stadium incident, the Tai family is going crazy. I don't want that old lady to go crazy."
Park Ji Ho was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "In the Linyuan restaurant, that person didn't lose to Madman Li."
The meaning of this sentence was very clear. If he didn't use firepower, Park Ji Ho had no confidence that he could take care of that young second lieutenant.
Li Xiuzhu didn't explain his thoughts. He just waved his hand.
…
…
The sunlight seeped in through the glass walls in all directions. The multi-layer glass structure could adjust the angle of the light that entered the building space. The light that entered the building space was not dazzling, nor was it burning. It was just warm and clear.
In the empty office, Li Xiuzhu was silent for a long time. Then, he walked to the side of the glass wall and looked at the buildings of different heights in the Capital Special District. He was silent for a long time.
Ever since the young master of the Tai family left Lin Hai, there was no trace of him. It seemed that after the assassination, the Tai family had become more vigilant and careful. Li Xiuzhu didn't really care about the young master who wasn't even 20 years old. Although the elders of the family had always maintained vigilance and even respect for the Tai family, he always felt that this kind of family that valued tradition too much was slowly losing its vitality.
The Tai family had only one son for seven generations. This was an advantage, but also a fatal weakness. Li Xiuzhu squinted his eyes and looked at the shadow under his feet on the streets of the Capital Special District. He couldn't help but feel a little envious. At least that brat Tai Zhiyuan didn't have to worry about the distribution of power in the family. However, if this brat died, the Tai family would be finished.
Among the seven families in the Federation, other than the Tai family and the Zhong family, the other five families had always faced the problem of the distribution of power. Although these families had a mature inheritance system in the past tens of thousands of years, the conflicts between brothers and sisters wouldn't disappear just because of the existence of the system.
Li Xiuzhu chose Park Ji Ho to do this. On one hand, he wanted to remove himself from this situation. On the other hand, he wanted to consider what kind of reaction the seventh son, Li Hyo Tong, would have when he found out that he used his own people.
"Everyone has their own fatal weakness."
Li Xiuzhu looked at the scenery outside the window. He looked at the reflection of his beautiful face on the window and frowned. In his opinion, the fatal weakness of the Tai family was that Tai Zhiyuan alone had to take responsibility for the continuation of the entire family. The fatal weakness of the old director of the Federal Academy of Science was that his reputation was too good.
As for the Xu Le that he had ordered to be dealt with, that was his name, right? Li Xiuzhu didn't consider this person. Although this person seemed to have some ability and was gradually emerging, he was still not worthy of his attention.
The son-in-law of the Zou family? Madman Li didn't defeat him? Professor Shen's student? Li Xiuzhu's eyes showed a trace of coldness. He believed that he was very clear about how terrifying that crazy brat Lees of Philadelphia was. How could there be anyone in the Federation who could be Madman Li's opponent?
All of this was just a smokescreen. That old man Lees of Philadelphia had always had a good relationship with Lady Tai. Who knew if Madman Li's actions at Linyuan that day were to create momentum for that chess piece called Xu Le?
If it was any other time, before he completely understood Xu Le's true background, Li Xiuzhu definitely wouldn't have acted rashly. However, the current situation was different. He had to get the data in the Husk Institute's laboratory.
Especially after he found out that Xu Le and Minister Zou had a conversation at the Milky Way Public Cemetery yesterday, his actions had to be faster. He even didn't mind using more violent methods. He didn't want to drag this matter out until Lin Banshan returned from the Great Triangle. Lin Banshan was the person he feared the most in the Federation.
The birth of a new generation of mecha in the Federation was a great reputation. There were great benefits involved. A chess piece like Xu Le should have the awareness to sacrifice himself for the greater benefits.
"Father, the matter has been dealt with."
"Don't worry. The latest by the day after tomorrow, the data will be transferred to the hands of the Academy of Science. We still need you to put in some more pressure on the Nutshell Board."
After putting down the phone, Li Xiuzhu informed the secretary downstairs. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't prepare flowers today. Prepare some delicious and normal food boxes. I'm going to Department 23 to pick someone up."

…
In a manor in the southern hemisphere of Planet S1 in the Upper Forest District, an old man put down the phone in his hand. He turned his head and smiled at the two guests beside him. "Dean Lin will probably return from the moon base the day after tomorrow."
The governor of Jingzhou, Ross, smiled and said, "We will remember Mr. Li's support for us."
"You're too kind." The current head of the Li family raised the wine glass in his hand and turned to the other guest. He said softly, "Mr. Medellin, I admire your genius thinking. You're probably the only one who can capture Dean Lin's heart."
Senator Medellin remained silent.
The head of the Li family held his wine glass and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was extremely impressed by the political wisdom of this old fox. If at this critical moment in the presidential election, the Federal Academy of Science, which had always been apolitical but held an extremely high position in the hearts of the Federation voters, suddenly expressed opinions that leaned towards their side under the leadership of Dean Lin and even directly joined their electoral camp, what kind of heavy and powerful blow would that be?
