Li Xiaotong stood up from the sofa and took out a file folder from the drawer beside the bed. During this process, the long knife in Xu Le's hand rotated along with his movements. Although Li Xiaotong's previous laughter and words confirmed the situation that Xu Le vaguely expected, at this time, the bodyguard called Brother Zeng still coldly pointed the gun at him, so he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
"Brother Zeng, I have something to talk to this friend." Li Xiaotong handed the folder in his hand to Xu Le. His attitude was very relaxed and casual, as if he didn't see the bloody long knife in Xu Le's hand at all.
Brother Zeng was silent for a moment. The peerlessly sharp spear-like aura in his clothes slowly faded away. He nodded slightly at Li Xiaotong and replied with a hoarse and strange trembling voice, "Yes, young master."
Xu Le watched the man put down the gun and leave the room. His mind was really relaxed, and he took the folder in Li Xiaotong's hand. The dangerous smell of this bodyguard called Brother Zeng was too strong, sometimes like a gun, sometimes like a lion, which made people's hair stand on end.
There were several photos and an audio file in the folder. The photos should have been taken secretly from a distance. The content was in a high-rise building in the capital. The blonde Park Ji Ho was talking to a man. The person who took the photos should be very far away from the building, so the faces of Park Ji Ho and the man in the photos were very vague. But even so, he could vaguely feel the extraordinary momentum of the man, especially the blurry facial features, which were extremely handsome.
Xu Le's heart moved, and he guessed who the man was.
The audio file was a piece of eavesdropping data mixed with electric current noise. Xu Le lowered his head and listened carefully before taking off his earpiece. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xiaotong who was sitting back on the sofa.
"Li Xiuzhu, the vice president of the Sanlin United Bank, and also my big brother." Li Xiaotong's face was gloomy as he said, "Park Ji Ho was one of my men, but he was with him. That's why I said you did the right thing."
At this time, Xu Le maintained his silence. Looking at the second generation of the seven great families in front of him, his heart gave birth to a heavy sense of vigilance. The contact between Park Ji Ho and the young master of the Li Family was completely investigated by this person. He just didn't know how he was able to take these photos and eavesdrop on his conversation.
While Xu Le was looking at Li Xiaotong, Li Xiaotong was also thinking quickly. His childhood experience had made him develop a very good habit. He would never look down on anyone. Although he had expressed his disdain for the Crown Prince of the Tai family in his conversation with Park Ji Ho at the intersection of Green Mountain, it was actually just a cover-up.
The Tai family had the longest history, the highest status, and the most secretive power among the Seven Great Families. How could Li Xiaotong not pay attention to Tai Zhiyuan? He was different from his big brother, who was used to looking down on everyone in the world as trash. He only had Lin Banshan in his eyes.
This young man with a knife in front of him, under the double pressure of the Federal Academy of Science and the Li Family, still dared to fight back. Moreover, his counterattack was so sharp. He killed Park Ji Ho and went straight into his bedroom … If Li Xiaotong paid attention to Xu Le in the past because of the relationship between Tai Zhiyuan and Xu Le, then after tonight, he decided to pay more attention to Xu Le.
After calculating, Li Xiaotong didn't hesitate at all. With the decisiveness and straightforwardness of a businessman making a bet, he said directly, "Let's cooperate."
…
…
Xu Le looked at the 25 or 26 years old young man in front of him. His two straight eyebrows, which were like flying knives, frowned and said, "I don't understand. What does the seventh young master of the Li Family need from me? And what can you give me? Park Ji Ho betrayed you because the young master of the Li Family could bring him more benefits. What benefits do you get from cooperating with me? After all, you are a member of the Li Family. "
"I heard that recording and know that right now, the Federal Academy of Science wants to get the data in the laboratory. I hope that you can stop all of this."
Li Xiaotong said, "Those data are important to the Federation's new generation of mecha. I don't care, but that big brother of mine cares a lot. Because once the Federal Academy of Science really wants to take a stand in the presidential election, the pairing of Governor Ross and Senator Macklin will have a higher chance of winning … If Li Xiuzhu succeeds in this matter, for him, it will naturally be of great benefit. "
"Hasn't the Li Family always supported them?"
"I don't even care who becomes the president of the Federation." Li Xiaotong's expression darkened. He said, "No matter who becomes the president, the seven great families of the Federation will still be seven great families. Even if Ross and Macklin succeed in the election, what does it have to do with me? The Li Family is not mine. On the contrary, if they succeed … "
Xu Le understood the other party's meaning. His brows furrowed extremely tightly. "Even if I can stop the data from leaking out of the laboratory and destroy the agreement between your family and that old fellow from the Federal Academy of Sciences, I might not be able to affect the general trend of the presidential election."
"That is natural. However, this is still a very powerful link." Li Xiaotong stood up and said slowly, "As long as it benefits Li Xiuzhu, I am willing to destroy it."
"What can you help me with?" Xu Le asked again.
"If you need to escape after this, I can find a way for you and provide you with some funding. Of course, if you really have a relationship with the Tai family, you might not even care about this. However, I think that we can form some kind of long-term beneficial relationship because our goals seem to be somewhat the same."
Li Xiaotong didn't say long-term friendship, but rather benefits. This was more believable. However, Xu Le still didn't say anything.
Li Xiaotong looked at him quietly. After a while, he picked up his private encrypted phone and made a few calls. After being silent for a while, he smiled and said, "I can help you delay the news from Park Ji Ho for a while, so that they won't react immediately. According to the information I got, tomorrow morning at ten o 'clock, the written order from the board of directors of the nutshell will come out. Then, your laboratory will be lost. You still have nine hours. "
"Got it." Xu Le said, "The problem is that I only have nine hours. I don't have the ability to get the data out. If I keep it in the laboratory, it will be in the hands of the Federal Academy of Science. In that case, it won't be helpful for your plan."
Li Xiaotong understood the hidden meaning in his words. He sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "I am sorry. In fact, the Li Family's influence on the nutshell is very limited. I still don't know how those old guys managed to avoid the military and directly influence the board of directors. As for the research institute, I don't have access to some of the more important areas, so I can't help you in this regard. "
"This is only the first cooperation. I believe that there will be opportunities in the future." Li Xiaotong said, "If there is a future, I won't ask for much. I just hope that you can find a chance to let me meet Tai Zhiyuan."
Xu Le was deep in thought. After a long time, he gently nodded.
…
…
Eight hours before the deadline, Xu Le arrived at the First Military Academy and entered the Husk Institute's third department area. It was already late at night, but there were still a few laboratories in the institute that were brightly lit. Researchers would sometimes forget the beauty of the day in the middle of the night.
Xu Le took out his electronic key card and entered the core area. Then, he walked along the quiet corridor toward the laboratory. In front of the last scanning channel, he slowly stopped his footsteps. He put his hand into the pocket of his military uniform and gripped the cold metal device tightly.
Although the meeting with the seventh young master of the Li Family, Li Xiaotong, was somewhat dangerous, in the end, it proved Xu Le's intuition at the beginning. Park Ji Ho was indeed working for the Li Family, but not for Li Xiaotong. In the eyes of the seventh young master of the Li Family, the position of the head of the Li Family was what he needed to consider the most. As for the overall benefit of the Li Family, the development of the Federation mecha, and the results of the presidential election, none of these were in the mind of the gloomy young man.
The cooperation seemed to be successful, but in reality, Xu Le couldn't help Li Xiaotong much. With Li Xiaotong's current strength, he couldn't help Xu Le either. And this cooperation was basically hidden under the surface, just a loose psychological connection.
He pressed the small button and narrowed his eyes. A faint blue light began to emit from the small device in his pocket. It was blocked by the cloth of his military uniform and became even dimmer. Although it was dim, it was enough to envelop his entire body.
There was not a single person in the quiet corridor. Xu Le didn't hesitate or show any fear. He directly walked toward the scanning channel.
A very strange thing happened at this moment. The Federation's most advanced scanning device seemed to have become blind and deaf at this moment. The faint blue light that enveloped Xu Le seemed to have some kind of magic, turning Xu Le invisible in front of these advanced monitoring devices.
The device that was personally designed by Uncle Feng Yu was enough to temporarily fool the omnipotent central computer in the Bureau of Proclamation, let alone the secondary monitoring network at the edge of the Charter.
This was one of Xu Le's biggest trump cards. Previously, he was able to sneak into the Ivy Garden and directly into Li Xiaotong's bedroom because of this small device in his pocket.
This was the first time Xu Le tried to use this device in the core area of the Federation. The Husk Institute contained the most confidential information of the Federation. Without a doubt, the place with the strongest surveillance and defense was turned into a piece of trash by this small device.
Walking to the familiar door of the laboratory, Xu Le wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and took a deep breath.
The Glory Of The Charter was spread all over the Federation. The people of the Federation, including those who were extremely meticulous, had long been accustomed to the power of technology over tens of thousands of years of history. They had developed a kind of mental inertia.
This inertia and inertia provided endless convenience for Xu Le to lurk and wander in this society. Once the technology was broken, Xu Le seemed to vaguely capture the feeling of freedom that Uncle Feng Yu had.
After entering the password and opening the door of the laboratory, Xu Le took out a heavy axe from the metal fire box next to him and silently walked in.
