Not many people in the Federation paid attention to the Hushan Road case because the media did not report on it extensively. Even the independent media of the George faction that was most willing to expose the dark secrets of the Federation was silent on this matter.
Logically speaking, under the tens of thousands of years of the First Charter, the rate of criminal cases in the Federation was not high, especially such vicious cases. Moreover, the suspect and the victim were both young officers from the Federation Shell Motor Company. There were too many articles that could be written about this case by the reporters.
However, whether it was because the case had happened too recently or the reporters had too little information, or because the District Attorney's Office had kept a tight lid on the case, the news did not spread widely. Now that a reckless hooligan had confessed, the young second lieutenant involved in the case had left in a relaxed manner, and the Hushan Road case would naturally be gradually forgotten.
Similar to this case, many people knew that the Shell Motor Company Research Institute laboratory had been smashed by someone with an axe. For the Federation, the data that could affect the development of the new generation of mecha was obviously much more important than an officer who had just entered the Federal military.
However, this matter involved the secrets of the Federation, and no news media would touch this red line.
Yesterday morning, the laboratory that had been smashed to pieces by Xu Le had been completely sealed by the military police. Immediately after, the core data inside had all been transferred. It was not difficult for the Federal Academy of Science to obtain access to the central database.
On the surface, the data was still quietly stored in a remote room in the Husk Institute, but Xu Le and many people involved in this matter knew very well that the people in the Federal Academy of Science had already obtained the data.
Unfortunately, no one had evidence to prove the actions of the Federal Academy of Science, just like how the District Attorney's Office had no evidence to prove that Xu Le had committed murder, or like how Dean Lin of the Federal Academy of Science had plagiarized Professor Shen's research results many years ago.
The free and fair Federation was indeed just a slogan …
…
…
Outside the high amplitude particle laboratory of the Federal Academy of Science and Technology, Secretary Luo was on the phone with someone. He maintained a smile on his face as he responded to the other person's thanks, but his eyes were looking inside the laboratory.
After the call ended, Secretary Luo did not rush into the laboratory to report this important call. Instead, he stood quietly by the door and looked at the nervous professors and researchers in the laboratory.
The high amplitude particle laboratory of the Department of Technology was a large-scale laboratory that Dean Lin had applied for a large amount of funds from the Federation Management Committee to build. The department head of this laboratory and the researchers were all very outstanding and … capable.
Through the filtered glass, Secretary Luo looked at the crowd in Laboratory Area Three. In the middle of the crowd, Dean Lin was sternly scolding something. He knew that the data from the Shell Motor Corporation Research Institute had now been quietly transferred here. With the Federal Academy of Science's powerful research and development abilities, it would not take long before the key problems of the Federation's new generation of mecha would be solved. The Federal Academy of Science and Dean Lin, who was in charge of this research, would once again receive the praise and respect of all Federation citizens.
As for Professor Shen and that young assistant researcher who had actually created these things? One was already dead, and the other was already marginalized. As long as the final results were out, who would remember the process?
Moreover, the other side had already promised that they would definitely not let the young second lieutenant speak carelessly. Secretary Luo frowned slightly, but he did not understand. The other side clearly knew that once the research of the Federal Academy of Science was successful, Dean Lin would personally come to support the election of Governor Ross and Senator Medellin. Why did the other side not seem to care?
The noise in the laboratory had come to an end. The leader of the Federation's academic community, Dean Lin, walked out with a serious expression.
Secretary Luo followed behind him and said in a low voice, "Secretary Shen called to express his gratitude."
"Secretary Shen? Wasn't the previous secretary by Madam's side surnamed Jin? "asked Dean Lin with a frown.
"The new young secretary. Apparently, Madam likes him very much."
…
…
On the top floor of the Sanlin United Bank headquarters building in the capital, Secretary Lu quietly walked to Li Xiuzhu's side and said softly, "Xu Le has been released. Secretary Shen just called to express his gratitude."
Li Xiuzhu quietly looked at the street outside the glass and did not speak for a long time. He did not mind sending that young second lieutenant named Xu Le to prison for life, even if that young man seemed to have a strange relationship with Deputy Minister Zou of the Ministry of National Defense. However, he had no choice but to let go today. This situation made him feel bad.
He could look down on that mysterious young master of the Tai family, but he had to respect the madam of the Tai family. Even if the pride in his bones made him unwilling to let go after receiving the call from Secretary Shen, his father's call from afar extinguished all his courage to challenge the other side.
"The Crown Prince's friend?" Li Xiuzhu laughed. His handsome face was slightly cold. "Even Secretary Shen acknowledged this relationship. I have to give this face. It seems that I still underestimated that guy named Xu Le."

Mochou Mountain was the most secluded mountain forest in the suburbs of the capital.
This area of green hills and tranquil gardens was originally the garden of the royal family. During the third constitutional era, it was designated as a national park by the Federation government. District S1 had a large population, so the area of the wildlife reserve that the Federation used electronic walls to encircle was much smaller. However, it still took up half of Mochou Mountain. After a few areas were cut, there were not many empty and quiet places. The tourists that came to this mountain only paid attention to the beauty of the mountains and rivers. They had long forgotten the faint royal atmosphere of this mountain park.
In the deepest part of Mochou Mountain, there was a large area of forest surrounded by fences hidden in the grass and cliffs. The tourists could not see the scenery inside. They only thought that it was an obstacle to prevent the dangers of the mountain road. They did not know that there were thousands of acres of forest inside that belonged to an ancient and mysterious family name in the Federation.
The black car steadily followed the mountain road to the end. An inconspicuous iron gate blocked the front. After passing through the iron gate, one could faintly see the depths of the mountain. At the end of the flowing water, there seemed to be a few small buildings that were built in picturesque disorder. It was indescribably beautiful.
Xu Le pushed open the car door and stood in front of the iron gate. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the small buildings in the distance. Mochou Mountain was very close to the capital. This manor hidden in the mountain had such a large area. In addition, he had read a lot of books. After learning about Tai Zhiyuan's background, he had crammed in the history of the Federation. He knew that this mountain was originally a royal garden. With the Tai family's status and history in the Federation, it was natural for them to live in this mountain.
The iron door slowly opened, and a man in his thirties wearing a dark suit in the late spring came out to greet them with a smile. This person first nodded at Xu Le and then said a few words to the driver in the black car.
Xu Le was slightly surprised. He knew the man in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would appear here.
"Mr. Wang is the Madam's personal driver. He has served the Tai family for many years." The man smiled at Xu Le and said, "The Madam rarely uses her personal car to pick up people. I think that other than the President and the War God, there shouldn't be many people who can receive this kind of treatment."
This kind of subtle expression, coupled with this person's polite and slightly distant smile, was not repulsive. Xu Le looked at him with a smile and said, "Shen Li?"
When they met at the base of the Black Eagle Security Company in Linhai, he easily recognized this Secretary Shen.
"I am the Madam's secretary now," Shen Li said with a smile.
The Black Eagle Security Company was one of the three major security companies in the Federation. With Shen Li's age, he was able to become a senior manager of the Black Eagle. That day, under the instructions of Tai Zhiyuan, he had full authority to command the operation in Linhai. He was already a very impressive person. However, in less than half a year, he actually became the secretary of the Madam Tai. Xu Le couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although Tai Zhiyuan had already passed the Coming of Age Ceremony, which was completed with his help, Xu Le knew very well that the real power of the Tai family of the seven major families in the Federation was still in the hands of the high and mighty Madam.
The secretary of the Madam Tai, when put on the stage of the Federation, was enough to talk to a governor as an equal. Compared to the senior manager of the Black Eagle Security Company, this was undoubtedly a big step forward.
"Madam Tai is waiting for us." A bicycle slowly came to the side of the two. Secretary Shen smiled and explained, "The Madam doesn't like the smell of gasoline, natural gas, and liquid hydrogen mixed with … the smell of chemical products, so all the cars in the park are electric bicycles."
Xu Le nodded and didn't say anything more. He followed Secretary Shen onto the bicycle. The picturesque small buildings at the end of the mountains and rivers seemed to be very far away, but in fact, they were very close. It didn't take long for the electric bicycle to take them to the front of the small building.
On the right side of the small building was a long corridor. The corridor was covered with long green vines. The new leaves were like jade, and the yellow flowers were just blooming. Looking through this long corridor, a small dam could be seen not far away. The mountain stream of the back mountain was blocked by this dam many years ago, and a small Xiaoping Lake in the mountains was formed.
The small building was under the mountain forest, by the lake.
Walking along the stone steps towards the deep courtyard, Xu Le lowered her head slightly, but her ears were listening to the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the forest and the lake rippling. She was not surprised to feel that there were many people hidden in the surrounding forest. She could not see any of the Tai family's security personnel with her eyes, but she could hear and feel that his pair of knife-like straight eyebrows slightly raised.
Noticing that he was listening, Secretary Shen's footsteps slowed down slightly and immediately returned to normal. His lips slowly released a smile, and he felt a little surprised by Xu Le's attentiveness and ability.
The two men walked to the second-floor terrace of the small building deep in the courtyard and naturally stopped.
Xu Le took a deep breath and made his expression as calm and gentle as possible. Even if he was really a stone, he was still nervous knowing that he was about to meet such a big shot as Madam Tai.
There was a parasol on the terrace. Under the parasol, there was a small white table, a few plates of pastries, a pot of tea, and two women.
