He looked down and was about to speak, but the man on the sofa just smiled, then stood up and whispered to the extremely burly man behind him, "You can go now."
The man lowered his head slightly, the dim light reflected on his bald head, making the lounge seem a little brighter.
At this moment, Xu Le saw the face of the mysterious man clearly. He was indeed an ordinary person, wearing a light gray shirt, there was nothing special about him, but he gave people a feeling of a river.
Although the words "you can go now" were said very softly, it fell into the ears of the people in the lounge. Xu Le was slightly surprised, he didn't understand where the other party was going. Judging from his tone, he didn't mean to rest in the compartment. But at this time, the train was moving at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, where could he go?
Even the slightly bowed bald man didn't seem to expect that the man would say to go now, but he was slightly startled, nodded, and walked to the aisle next to the lounge, turned the wrench, and put his hand on the emergency brake device.
The emergency brake device of the high-speed train was strictly prohibited from being pulled at will, there were obvious warning words on it, and there was a conspicuous red sign painted on it, but the tattooed bald man just turned it on naturally, he didn't care about the warning at all.
Xu Le immediately understood what these two people were going to do. For a moment, he didn't know how many absurd feelings surged in his heart, he stared in disbelief at that place.
That steady and strong hand pulled with all its might.
Only to hear the rapid alarm sound, the harsh sound of the emergency brake penetrated the thick glass, piercing everyone's ears.
The high-speed dense magnetic track carriage instantly slowed down, a huge braking force was transmitted from the carriage to everyone's body.
Nan Xiangmei, who was standing with a confused face, didn't know what happened until now. She was hit by the braking force, for a moment, she lost her balance and fell forward.
Xu Le's pupils shrank, he stared at the two arrogant men who didn't care about all the rules in the world, but he didn't stop them, he just tightly held both sides of the sofa to stabilize himself. At this time, he felt a fragrance in his arms.
He subconsciously reached out to support Nan Xiangmei's body, his hand on the girl's waist, but he still couldn't stop Nan Xiangmei from falling into his arms, warm and tender.
…
…
The ear-piercing braking sound finally stopped. The train was like a wounded serpent. After a long time, horrified shouts, loud curses and low cries came from the other carriages.
There were only three rooms in the luxurious room, so it wasn't as noisy as the other rooms. However, the expressions on their faces were a little ugly.
Nan Xiangmei finally woke up from her panic. She supported herself on Xu Le's shoulder and stood up. She hurriedly bowed her head and thanked him. Then, she lowered her head and walked towards the room. At the door of the room, she found that Miao Miao was waking up with sleepy eyes. No matter how deeply asleep a person was, they would still be affected by the sudden braking force.
He woke up with a start.
Xu Le subconsciously looked towards the corridor and saw that Bai Magnolia was still standing quietly by the window. However, her feet were already on the floor, and her face was slightly pale. He didn't know what she was thinking.
The man on the sofa was gone, and so was the bald man with a ferocious flower tattoo. There was no one in the lounge, as if the two people had never been there.
Xu Le quickly turned back and looked out of the window. At this time, the lights in the carriage were turned on, illuminating the field around the magnetic track. This place should still be in the territory of South Kezhou. The Federation's unified farm was densely planted in the fields. There were about one person planting a variety of grains. Under the night wind and the illumination of the train lights, the grains undulated like waves.
Xu Le narrowed his eyes. He vaguely saw two figures in the waves of the grains, quietly moving towards the distance.
…
…
The bald man silently followed the man in gray clothes through the difficult fields of the farm grains. He startled the voles and disturbed the insects. He was silent, without any doubts or questions.
Gradually, they went farther and farther until they came to a small hill beside the field. The man in front stopped and looked back at the distant magnetic track with faint lights. He smiled.
The man sat down and took out a flat metal bottle from his pocket. He took a small sip and then handed it behind him.
The bald man also sat down beside him. He took the bottle and took a big gulp. After a moment of silence, he said, "I thought you would at least say a few words to that guy called Xu Le."
The man smiled and said softly, "Sometimes, a glance is enough to see a person. There's no need to say anything."
For a man who left home at a young age and was extremely rebellious, he had honed his strength to match this kind of rebellion. He had built such a large territory with his bare hands. Other than the mysterious Bureau of Proclamation, there were no rules in the Federation that were worthy of his attention. He had boarded the train in the middle of the night from South Kezhou just to see the man and woman. Since he had seen them, he was satisfied and naturally left.
He came in high spirits and returned in high spirits. He did what he wanted. When he wanted to leave a certain place, he didn't want to stay for even a second. When he said he would leave, he would leave without hesitation. As for the inconvenience and commotion that his jaw-dropping way of leaving would bring to the people on the train, it wasn't something he cared about.
The Thorny Flower Baldy silently sipped his wine. He usually drank three catties of white wine, but the man beside him only had a small bottle on him. He drank it very carefully. Although he drank it in small sips, after a few sips, there wasn't a single drop left in the bottle.
He turned his head to look at the man in front of him who was gnawing on a green plant. He knew that this man had always been used to doing as he pleased. But tonight, he still didn't understand why he wanted to see that young man called Xu Le. If the young lady of the Southern Prime Minister's family was involved in the man's younger brother's marriage, then what did Xu Le represent?
"That little guy called Xu Le, it seems that he still doesn't know what happened in S2 tonight."
The man peeled off the outer layer of the green plant on his finger and sucked on the fragrant juice inside.
He said in a muffled voice, "Once this matter is out, Lawyer Pabre will be in a terrible fix for a while. That old bastard Macklin will definitely cry in front of the Federation voters again. The hearts of the people can't be used up. Ross is also a smart person. He allowed Macklin to play as he pleased. The two of them took advantage of the situation and narrowed the gap between them a little."
The Thorny Flower Baldy's expression calmed down. Although the activities of the upper echelons of the Federation and the circle of the jianghu he belonged to were thousands of miles apart, he knew that the man beside him would never say anything meaningless.
"The Federation election is just a show. It's not a foreplay, but a climax that girls envy. Wave after wave, there will always be a break in between. Tonight's terrorist attack at the concert can be considered as a climax. The next climax will naturally be the development of the new mecha of the Federation. There are still at least a few months in between. "
"Logically speaking, the data from the laboratory should be in the hands of those hypocrites from the Federal Academy of Science. However, the Nutshell Engineering Department has never let go of it. Moreover, Xu Le is currently heading to Hong Kong. This is somewhat interesting."
The Thorny Flower Baldy had been silent the entire time. He believed that this matter had nothing to do with him or the man beside him who he respected so much.
"In my entire life, other than the first two years of recklessness, I have always been looking at those interesting people and things in the Federation."
The man threw away the green plant in his hand and smiled as he looked up at the stars in the night sky. He said, "Nan Xiangmei is a very outstanding girl. How can a fool like Dou Hai be worthy of her? Xu Le is also a very interesting person. I believe that he is also very clear about his own importance. The problem is that he doesn't show it. "
"The one I don't understand the most is that old ghost, Macklin. He is the second leader of the anti-government army. He forcefully entered the political system of the Federation through non-violence. He completely broke away from the armed forces and even wants to be the vice president … The problem is that with his intelligence, how can he not understand that the anti-government army in the mountains is his most solid foundation? If the anti-government army is really turned into a pack of dogs by him, he can only be a forgotten character in the Federation … Even if he really becomes the vice president, in the future, he will only be a puppet."
"Moreover, the moves he used are too ruthless and too insidious. They are completely pushing the Federation down the path of chaos. What good does this do for him? If he is from the Empire, it would be easy to understand. The problem is that this old man is definitely not from the Empire. He is also an extremely strong fanatic. "
He smiled slightly and took back the bottle from the baldy's hand. He found that it was already empty, so he couldn't help but shake his head. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and gave one to the baldy and lit one for himself. It was the pack of 37 brand cigarettes that he took out in the carriage.
The baldy squatted beside him and took a deep breath of the cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the man's side profile. Many people in the Federation were proud of his evaluation, but only he knew that the man beside him was truly famous for his unique vision. That pair of eyes that were praised by people for being able to appreciate beauty in the universe, even the family that the man betrayed still needed his judgment from time to time.
This was a rare opportunity, so the baldy asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of the people involved in this matter?"
"Li Xiu Zhu is only a bag of skin." When the man evaluated the young people of the seven great families in the Federation, he actually had a sense of superiority. He said lightly, "On the contrary, the Li Family's Old Seven is much more outstanding than him. Those old men of the Li Family are also blind. Make money, make money. It's good to have money. What good does it do to get involved in this matter? However, that brat Li Xiaotong isn't really smart. If he didn't want to get involved, then he shouldn't be so close to Xu Le. "
The topic turned back to Xu Le. Tonight, he boarded the car to look at people. This man was mainly looking at Xu Le. He was very curious about the young man who could fight Madman Li to a draw in his own shop. Other people in the Federation might not care about the fighting ability of these people, but this man was very clear about the terror of the Lees of Philadelphia.
As for people like Minister Zou's Tai family, he didn't want to pay attention to them. In fact, he didn't even care about the presidential election. He had already left that circle and had never thought about going back. He was disdainful to go out. In life, he wanted to be happy and do as he pleased.
Therefore, he always only cared about the men or women he was interested in.
"What do you think of that young man?"
The bald man was silent for a long time before he said, "Looking at his behavior a while ago, he does have some of my subordinates' fierceness. But looking at him today, he seems a little lifeless. This kind of temperament is either hiding a ball of fire in his chest, waiting to explode, or he is really an ignorant stone, waiting to be washed away by the water until it becomes round and boring."
The man smiled. He had always admired his subordinate's insight. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Money can't buy youth. Now, I have always wanted to find the freedom I had when I broke the door, but after all, I am not that age anymore. This brat is so young and capable, but he is so restrained. It's really a pity."
"Being too young and not frivolous may be good for his future, but this kind of life is too boring."
"However, the delicate man next to him is quite interesting. Do you know who he is?"
"It should be his secretary, Bai Yulan." Since they wanted to find out what train Xu Le was on, the bald man naturally did some work. He said with a smile, "Under the feminine appearance, there is a poisonous snake hiding. He can be considered a character."
"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Federation, not to mention in a gloomy place like Whitewater. I am just a little curious. How did a boring young man like Xu Le manage to subdue such a character?"
The bald man smiled bitterly and looked at the vast wilderness under the hill, where there was no road in front of them and no airport behind them. He said, "I am just curious. Are we going to walk back to Nanke?"
…
…
Xu Le lowered his head and drank the water in the cup. He felt that there was no taste in his mouth. Previously, the emergency brake had caused the cup in the luxury box to fall to the ground, and many places were wet. At this time, Bai Yulan was silently cleaning up.
The patrol on the high-speed train had already been here before. This kind of vicious incident caused a commotion, so naturally, they needed a reason to quell it. The fingerprints on the emergency brake had been sampled. Xu Le and Nan Xiangmei were both interviewed for a few minutes before the train started again. They didn't have to wait for a long time to solve the case.
Xu Le looked at the dark wilderness outside the window and couldn't help but think of the back of the two people in the waves that were taller than a person's head.
Using this kind of method to leave was not only elegant, but also arrogant. Xu Le should be against this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know why, but when he thought of the style of the two people, there was a trace of yearning and desire.
At this time, Bai Yulan had finished cleaning up the carriage and sat back in front of him. She was quiet and didn't say a word. Xu Le looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know the identity of the two people just now."
The twenty million had already been accepted. Bai Yulan played the role of a personal secretary perfectly. She replied softly, "He's a powerful character."
This was nonsense. Although Xu Le didn't have the urge to take back the 20 million, he was still a little unhappy and lowered his head.
"I only know the bald guy with the flower tattoo."
Bai Yulan lowered his eyes and took out a small knife from his trouser pocket with his right hand and calmly placed it beside him. When the two men got on the train, he had been keeping his hand in his trouser pocket. His fingers might have been holding this delicate knife all the time.
Bai Yulan was a delicate man, and the weapon he used was also very delicate. It was naturally inconvenient to use a military knife outside, so he changed to a small knife, but still looked delicate. But just like him, the delicate appearance was just a means to hide the terrifying coldness.
At the mention of the man with the ferocious flower tattoo, the delicate man's face turned slightly pale. He wasn't nervous, but rather excited. However, his voice was still extremely soft and gentle. "I'm the one who takes on all of Team 7's private jobs. The company also often takes on some shady missions, so I do know a little about these reckless people in the Federation."
Xu Le raised his head and looked at him with some surprise. He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Bai Yulan to really recognize the man.
"The big man with the flower tattoo is called … Zhang Xiaohua." Bai Yulan pinched the delicate knife between her two fingers and carefully trimmed her nails. She lowered her head and said, "Don't be fooled by his old-fashioned and stingy name. He's actually a very magnanimous person. All the underground businesses in South Kezhou are under his control. Most people call him Uncle Hua."
"Don't be fooled by his appearance. The big guy is actually very wise. In fact, this Uncle Hua of South Kezhou is as meticulous as his name suggests. You must know that there is no future in the underworld of the Federation. Regardless of whether guns are banned or not, as long as the Constitution exists, as long as the government doesn't like it, they can casually kill these reckless people. But this Uncle Hua is still alive, and he is living a good life. Just this point alone is enough to make people admire him. "
Xu Le heard this and nodded. He remembered when he was young, the underworld of Hexi State was defeated and disbanded because of the government. They retreated to the orphans behind Zhonglou Street, which indirectly led to his first killing.
"The Federation doesn't allow vicious cases to happen, and law and order have been good for countless years. The underworld does not seem to have a future. When this Uncle Hua started his career at the beginning of the year, he had a murder case. I don't know where his luck came from, but he actually found a boat and hid in Bermuda for a few years. Then, for some reason, he returned to the Federation and turned himself in. For some reason, the district court was lenient. In total, he only spent seven years in prison. "
"This … how old is Uncle Hua now?"
"Should be forty-three."
Normally, Xu Le would ask Bai Yulan at this time. If he were to face Uncle Hua head-on, he would probably have a chance of winning. However, Xu Le had never been very curious in this aspect, and he didn't think that he would meet Uncle Hua in the future, so he didn't ask.
Bai Yulan had finished trimming her nails and sheathed her knife. She lowered her head and calmly said, "I'm probably not his match, but if he wants to kill me, he will have to shed at least three pounds of blood."
Xu Le was slightly startled, but then he thought that if the bald man named Zhang Xiaohua was such a sharp character, then what kind of character would that thirty-year-old man be?
