Park Ji Ho didn't want to admit that he was in fear.
He had always thought of himself as the best of the younger generation in the Federation. He was an outstanding student from the three major military academies. He entered the Shell Motor Corporation Engineering Dept. and was about to enter the Federal Academy of Science. He might even become Dean Lin's student. His life experience and achievements were enough to provide him with a strong sense of self-confidence.
He was a young officer. Regardless of whether it was close combat or mecha combat, he was an extremely strong character. No matter how one looked at it, although the off-road vehicle couldn't move, he shouldn't be afraid.
However, his slightly trembling hands made Park Ji Ho realize that he had developed a natural fear of the person beside him.
Previously, when he stood on the cliff and looked down, he saw the snow-like gleam of the blade and the splash of blood. Xu Le's strong strength, especially his calmness during the bloody battle, left a deep impression on Park Ji Ho. He even felt danger, which was why he chose to leave immediately.
However, the opponent found him in such a short time and used a blade to cut off all his escape routes. Park Ji Ho felt a deep chill. Especially when he thought of the rumor that night at the Linyuan restaurant, even Madman Li couldn't beat this person. His two hands trembled even more violently.
…
…
The two moons in the sky were all behind the clouds. Tiger Mountain Road was dark. Only the lights at the bottom of the cliff faintly illuminated the peace of the Wan family.
The car door creaked. Park Ji Ho walked out of the off-road vehicle. He lowered his head and looked at the blade tightly held in Xu Le's hand. He looked at the blood that was gradually turning into a thick paste on the blade. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "How did you get yourself into such a mess?"
A smart person would know that in this situation, there was no point in saying such things, especially when Park Ji Ho's face was pale. However, Park Ji Ho still said it because he had to take a gamble. He had to see if this young soldier named Xu Le in front of him had the guts to do it.
"Who sent you?"
Xu Le looked at Park Ji Ho's blonde hair and lowered his head slightly. His grip on the hilt of his sword tightened. When he saw Park Ji Ho, he should be able to guess the power behind him. A smart person wouldn't ask too much, but he still did.
Park Ji Ho smiled bitterly and said, "It's meaningless to ask these questions. Just now on the road, you didn't even kill those people who wanted to kill you. Naturally, you won't kill me. Since you won't kill me, I won't tell you anything. "
"I just want to remind you that in front of a truly powerful force, you are just a small fry. No matter how good you are at fighting, as long as they say the word, you will be beaten into a hornet's nest."
Xu Le's expression did not change at all. His head was still slightly lowered. After a while, he said, "I've always wanted to be a law-abiding citizen, but unfortunately, the Federation did not give me this opportunity. When I was in my teens … I had already killed someone."
When he said this, his tone was very calm and unhurried. It was as if he was telling Park Ji Ho how to solve the spring recruitment exam questions. However, it was this calm tone that made Park Ji Ho's face, which had just improved a little, turn even paler.
"I was wrong." Park Ji Ho smiled bitterly and said, "I was really wrong. I shouldn't have turned off the engine. At least, I shouldn't have pulled out the key."
This was a sincere sentence, but it was a fatal mistake.
Since he was using someone else to kill, there was no reason for him to appear at the scene. Park Ji Ho's mistake was that he thought he was careful enough hiding on the mountain road. He didn't expect Xu Le to be able to find him in such a short time and cut off his escape route.
At this moment, he vaguely understood that the reason he insisted on standing on the cliff of Husan Mountain Road and watching this scene unfold was not to deal with an emergency. It was just that he subconsciously still couldn't forget the scene in the spring recruitment exam in Nutshell. He wanted to see Xu Le, this lucky soldier, with his own eyes. He wanted to see with his own eyes Xu Le, this lucky soldier, break his leg and roll on the concrete road in pain.
Li Xiuzhu also made a mistake. He thought he had overestimated Xu Le, but he still underestimated him.
Of the seven big families in the Federation, the Li family was known for its meticulous planning. However, in the eyes of the Li family's legitimate successor, Xu Le, a small figure, was not a guy that could be deduced with common sense. Xu Le was an anomaly that broke into the upper circle of the Federation. He was as hard and stubborn as a rock. His strength did not lie in the Tai family, nor did it lie in the son-in-law of the Minister of National Defense. It lay in the knowledge in his mind and the strength in his body.
The pale-faced Park Ji Ho muttered to himself that he was wrong. However, his slightly lowered eyes became calmer and calmer. He didn't know if Xu Le in front of him would suddenly make a move, but he knew that if he really dared to say anything, what awaited him in the future would still be a dead end.
His hands trembled at his sides as if out of fear. However, in reality, he knew that he was only trying to make his hands appear more natural.
There was still a few centimeters of distance between him and the pistol at his waist. With his fastest draw speed and shooting results in the Military Academy, Xu Le in front of him, even if he really had the terrifying strength of Madman Li, only death would await him.
Xu Le's head was also slightly lowered. He didn't notice the hidden changes in Park Ji Ho's eyes. He also didn't notice that Park Ji Ho's expression had gradually calmed down. This was because in the mine in the Donglin District, Uncle Feng Yu had reminded him more than once that in this kind of situation, he only needed to stare at the opponent's hands.
Park Ji Ho's trembling hands suddenly moved. He leaned to the side like lightning and pulled out the pistol he always carried with him.
Xu Le also moved. The long knife in his right hand chopped down, and the light of the knife lit up.
…
…
This was a good sharp knife.
Park Ji Ho's right hand, accompanied by a spurt of blood, separated from his wrist. It fell to the concrete floor together with the pistol that glowed with a metallic luster.
This outstanding officer of the new generation of the Federation, with a bright future, quietly looked at his wrist that was as neat as a broken branch. He looked at the gurgling blood on it. He looked at the dazzling white bone and the threads of flesh on his broken wrist. His brows furrowed.
Park Ji Ho didn't understand why Xu Le's knife was so fast. Why did he dare to swing it over so unreasonably? Could it be that from the very beginning, the opponent had already made up his mind to kill him? At this moment, he didn't think that he was the one who wanted to pull out his gun and kill Xu Le.
It was only at this moment that the clear and maddening pain from his broken wrist transmitted into his brain. It made him feel so much pain that he wanted to die. He wanted to howl in grief.
However, he couldn't howl in pain because a thin line of blood appeared on his neck. The blood began to seep down from the line. It looked like a white can of ketchup that had been cut by a knife.
Park Ji Ho turned his head painfully and stared at Xu Le's face in disbelief. Until the moment of his death, he still felt that this matter was ridiculous. How could a person like him, who was destined to be famous in the Federation, die so early? How could he die so quietly on Hushan Road?
When he turned his head, the blood in the line on his neck flowed even faster.
He used his left hand and his right hand, which only had one wrist left, to cover his throat. However, he couldn't stop his life from flowing away with the blood. He fell to the ground with a thud. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
…
…
Xu Le looked at Park Ji Ho's body on the ground. He felt a little strange.
He wasn't a master of swords. The previous chop was just a subconscious reaction under the dangerous situation. The blade was aimed at his wrist. He didn't expect the blade to be slightly deformed when it was clipped by the door of the off-road vehicle. The sharp tip of the blade actually swept past his neck.
This wasn't the first time he killed someone. When he killed someone for the first time, he was still very young. That night, it was raining heavily in the garbage dump behind Bell Tower Street. The sharp hydraulic pipe was so light in his hand.
In the underground parking lot of Lin Hai Gymnasium, Xu Le had also killed several people, but that was in the middle of a battle after all. Today, he had only met Park Ji Ho a few times, but he had clearly seen him die in front of him.
Xu Le always thought of himself as a good person. He also wanted to be a good person. However, would a good person kill someone? This was a philosophical question. He didn't want to think about it.
He looked at Park Ji Ho's body on the ground. He didn't want to vomit or blame himself. He just felt a little confused. However, the confusion only lasted for three seconds.
He turned around and walked down the cliff.
…
…
"Fasten your seat belt."
Xu Le whispered to Zou Yu in the passenger seat. He had already taken off his bloodstained vest. He found a spare shirt in the trunk and put it on. However, the faint smell of blood was still so pungent in the enclosed space of the car.
Zou Yu looked at him quietly. Her hands carefully covered her swollen abdomen. Her face was pale, but her eyes were bright. She didn't know what Xu Le did when he rushed up the cliff. However, looking at Xu Le's calm expression and the ominous smell of blood, she could vaguely guess.
This was a mysterious guy.
"I'll take you home."
The black car quickly left Hushan Road. It didn't drive to the simple apartment they had lived in for a long time. Instead, it turned around and headed to the Capital Special District at the end of Highway 2.
"What happened?" Zou Yu lowered her eyes and asked softly.
"I killed a person. Maybe in a while, I will be wanted by the Federation."
Xu Le looked at the flashing signs on the highway in front of the car window. After a moment of silence, he said, "Park Ji Ho, the person Li Xiaotong took with you when you raced last time."
"It has something to do with me?"
After Zou Yu became pregnant, she became much gentler. In particular, her pair of black eyes always flashed with a sentimental light. However, she was a cold girl who liked to wear red. After hearing that Xu Le killed someone, the shock in her eyes disappeared. She calmly cared about the truth behind the matter.
"No, it should be related to the data in the laboratory. Those people wanted to steal Professor Shen's data, but I was in the middle."
Xu Le slightly turned the steering wheel in his hand. Following the signs on the highway, he drove in the direction of the Ministry of National Defense's apartment in the Capital Special District. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I have to do something tonight, and I think … it will be difficult to accompany you to protect the baby in the future. So I have to take you home first. I hope you won't be angry."
It was rare to hear Xu Le joke about protecting the baby in his sentence. Zou Yu's expression didn't change at all. She looked at Xu Le's side profile with a dignified expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Where … does Li Xiaotong usually go at night?"
After hearing this, Zou Yu's eyebrows instantly furrowed tightly. Her hands nervously covered her abdomen. She sighed and said, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. Accompany me to the hospital first."
