In the eyes of many people, Xu Le was just an ordinary guy, at least on the surface. After coming to the capital ring, there were too many outstanding men around him. Whether it was in terms of appearance or inner qualities, they were all much more eye-catching than him. So when he said those words, the director couldn't help but be stunned and began to re-examine him.
After taking the ID and looking at it under the headlights of the car, the company's technical director didn't return the ID to Xu Le. He didn't say anything either. Instead, he turned around and walked toward the edge of the crowd. He took out his phone. The Whitewater Company's guards were still holding Xu Le and Bai Yulan in the middle. Without his order, no one dared to let them go.
The director took out his encrypted phone and dialed a number. After a while, he asked in a gloomy voice, "Didn't you say that Xu Le and Zou Yingxing shouldn't be related? That's just a cover. Why does Xu Le have the ID from the Department of Defense? "
Secretary Luo's voice came from the other end of the phone. This close subordinate of Dean Lin of the Federal Academy of Science didn't seem to have expected that Xu Le would take out the special permission from the Department of Defense. He said with some surprise, "According to the analysis of the FBI, Xu Le and the daughter of the Zou family should be working together. If that's the case, why would the Department of Defense get involved?"
"Could it be the madam's idea?" the director asked in a low voice. He suddenly felt that the August rain was a little cold.
"I'm not sure, but Mr. Director, since things have come to this point, we have to continue," Secretary Luo said softly on the other end of the phone. The faint sound of a violin came from the side.
The director of the Federation's technical director had a very high status in the Federation. Facing Dean Lin's secretary, he naturally didn't show any fear. He said coldly, "If it's just an internal company matter, of course I can do it. However, this involves the Department of Defense! I don't want to have a conflict with the Federal military! "
After a moment of silence, Secretary Luo said, "Please wait a moment. Dean Lin wants to talk to you."
The technical director held the phone and stood under the umbrella. Suddenly, he felt a little unhappy. He turned around and coldly looked at his subordinate. He scolded, "How did you open the umbrella? Can't you see that my shoulders are wet? "
The subordinate holding the umbrella panicked slightly and hurriedly extended the umbrella forward, but he didn't dare to say anything. He knew very well that the official he served had already panicked because of the Department of Defense authority that the other party had taken out.
An old voice came from the phone. "It's only four in the morning. Fortunately, I have the habit of waking up early to play the violin."
The technical director cursed in his heart. Who doesn't know that you usually wake up at six o 'clock? Today, you can't sleep well. Even Secretary Luo is by your side. Naturally, you want to wait for news from me. However, the person on the other end of the line was, after all, a leading figure in the academic world of the Federation of Nations. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Xu Le took out the authority of the Ministry of Defense. I have no choice. I have to leave first."
The old voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "So what if you have the authority of the Ministry of National Defense? After all, he is still an employee of Nutshell! I don't ask you to bring him in front of me, but I don't want this little soldier to crawl under the Ministry of Engineering again! You know what this means! "
Hearing the angry voice on the other end of the line, the director's expression became cold. He thought that in the face of material gain, this old guy finally didn't care about the so-called demeanor anymore. He said into the phone, "I'm sorry, but I can't comply."
"I know that you don't want to be pressured by the military, but you shouldn't overestimate the power of the Tai family." The leader of the academic world of the Federation of Nations on the other end of the line softened his tone and said, "In fact, I don't know how that little guy from the Li family convinced you, but I think that since you stood on his side from the beginning, he must be very willing to let you stand on his side."
Hearing the two words Li family, the director's expression became slightly pale. He slowly hung up the phone and walked towards the center of the crowd. In this short distance, he thought of a lot of things. He thought of those luxurious nights at the MGM Mei Star casino at the entrance of Bermuda, thought of the 300 million gambling debt he owed, thought of those videotapes.
The high and mighty Nutshell Director was actually toyed with by such an old-fashioned and despicable method. He couldn't help but mock himself. Only now did he understand that no matter which era it was, money was the most ferocious devil. The most primitive method was often the most frightening method. He was the prisoner who was blinded by the devil's primitive method.
Walking in front of Xu Le, the director handed the ID back to Xu Le with a cold face. He had already made a decision. In fact, between losing his reputation and going against the Ministry of Defense, he could only choose the latter.
He angrily and irritably knocked away the umbrella that was held by his subordinates behind him. The director stared at Xu Le's eyes and said coldly, "Arrest them."
The rain soaked the hair of this middle-aged man. Together with his somewhat twisted face, he looked particularly ferocious.
…
…
When the director made the call, Xu Le thought that the director was verifying the authenticity of the confidential authority of the Ministry of Defense through the phone. However, when the director's expression became so cold and ferocious, he knew that things had changed. He didn't know if it was the Li family or the Federal Academy of Science that found a way to make this independent director of Nutshell disregard the authority of the Ministry of Defense and make such a crazy move.
When a person was unreasonable, any rules and principles in the Federation would not work on him. To deal with such a person, one could only be more unreasonable than him.
The moment his finger took back the ID, Xu Le was already preparing for this. The director in the rain in front of him was obviously blinded by the previous negotiations and underestimated the determination that Xu Le would show in this incident.
He slammed his foot on the ground, and countless splashes shot out like arrows, making the light of the car's headlights appear even dimmer. At this time, layers of rain fell from the sky. There was no lightning or thunder. It was the dark season, and only the light in the rain could help see things. This was the purpose of Xu Le's first kick.
Bai Magnolia, who had been holding an umbrella behind him, moved at the same time. This delicate man and Xu Le hadn't known each other for a long time, but the two of them had already formed a very subtle tacit relationship, just like when they were fighting in front of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. Just as Xu Le raised his leg, Magnolia had already thrown the umbrella in her hand. The black umbrella, which didn't allow light to pass through, fluttered in the wind and rain, and happened to block the headlights of the other car for a moment.
The light in the field was slightly disrupted, and shadows moved randomly. Before the guards of the Whitewater Company had time to pull the trigger, the umbrella and the rain of arrows fell softly to the ground at the same time. In such a short period of time, the situation on the battlefield had changed greatly.
The director was drenched, and his face was pale. His neck was tightly gripped by Xu Shou's right hand, and he was dragged to the front of the car. Xu Le used his body to block the aim of the guns.
Bai Magnolia, like a shadow, also came to his side, but didn't look for any obstacles. He just lowered his head slightly, observing the movements of his colleagues in the rain. He didn't have a gun in his hand, only a delicate knife.
"Put down your guns." Xu Le said to the surrounding Whitewater Company guards.
The guards didn't react at all. In the middle of the encirclement, the two people held the director hostage. In addition to fear, these well-trained mercenaries felt more shame. At this time, it was impossible for them to throw away the guns in their hands. Instead, they held their guns and approached the car inch by inch.
The rain hit the metal guns, the hands that held the guns steadily, and everyone's heart. No one knew what would happen in the next moment.
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and found that the situation was out of control. He cautiously moved his head to the director's ear and whispered, "This shouldn't be the ending you want. I don't want to kill people, but I don't want to go with you either. Is there any better way?"
The paleness on the director's face gradually faded. He said, "This is great. Attacking a senior officer and taking a hostage. Regardless of whether you can clear these charges or not, you can't enter the engineering department again. Of course, if you kill me, your life is over. "
The rain hit Xu Le's face. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What do those people know about you?"
"Do I need to tell you?" The director sneered. The expression on his face was still ferocious, but then he let out a painful groan.
Following this miserable groan, the surrounding security personnel stopped in their tracks. Looking at the scene in front of the car, they revealed a trace of uneasiness.
Bai Magnolia stabbed the knife directly into the director's groin. His delicate hand was still holding the slender knife tightly. He lowered his head in the rain and didn't look at the gloomy gun barrels that were close at hand. He said softly, "Everyone here is an expert. You should know that if my hand trembles now, the knife will cut open Mr. Director's aorta. If you can kill me in one shot, when I fall, the tip of the knife will cut open a section of the aorta. When the time comes, the severed blood vessels will shrink into the muscles, and you won't be able to find it no matter how hard you look."
"I'm rarely so long-winded." Bai Magnolia raised his head and let the rain slide down his face. He looked at the gun barrels around him and said seriously, "I'm worried that there are novices among you who can't see this."
The mercenaries of the Whitewater Company were all veterans. The leader of the team waved his arm and stopped his subordinates from advancing. He no longer tried to pressure the two young kidnappers with his aura. He knew that every word Bai Magnolia said was true, and it was obvious that the other party was cold-blooded to the extreme and would not make mistakes like he did.
"What are you waiting for?" The director's face was distorted. He reprimanded them loudly, "You are a bunch of trash!"
There was no one in this world who was not afraid of death, and the respected chief technical director was even more so. However, he did not think that the two kidnappers would dare to kill him, because Xu Le had a strong background and a bright future. Such a person would never do something as unsightly as a life and death struggle.
The pain in his leg was very real, but this kind of pain made him a little crazy. He angrily scolded the Whitewater guards who did not dare to step forward. At the same time, he turned his head and scolded Xu Le fiercely, "Young man, you're finished! No matter the outcome, just because of this incident, the entire Federation will not tolerate you. "
At this time, Director José had already been pushed aside by the guards. He anxiously shouted to Xu Le across the crowd, "Xu Le, don't do anything stupid!"
The security work of the engineering department was originally contracted by the Whitewater Company. Although he was the director of the engineering department, he could not command these paramilitary personnel. Moreover, the director was currently in Xu Le's hands. That Secretary Bai had actually stabbed the director so carelessly!
This fact made him feel unprecedented pressure. They knew that Xu Le could not be tied up without a fight, but if he persisted, what if the Whitewater guards really wanted to kill him? He subconsciously wanted Zhou Yu to inform Secretary Shen, regardless of whether it was too late. Who knew that when he turned around, he would find that there was no one beside him.
Xu Le did not pay attention to the shouts of these two people. He just narrowed his eyes in the dark rain and watched the movements of the guards. When he saw the index finger of the captain slowly move away from the trigger, he felt slightly relieved. However, at this time, he sharply noticed that one of the guards seemed to have been inadvertently dragged to the periphery. At this moment, he raised the light sniper rifle in his hand and aimed it between Bai Yulan's eyebrows.
Bai Yulan also sensitively noticed this. He slightly lowered his head and looked over with cold eyes. If this was in the past, he would definitely rush into the crowd at this time, even if the other party was also a well-trained mercenary. However, at this moment, he could only coldly look at the gunman, because Xu Le was still behind him.
A sense of danger surged in Xu Le's heart, just like when the Special Task Force agent appeared in Linhai during the New Year. The gunman was probably not one of the director's men. If he opened fire now, it would be a chaotic battle. He was afraid that the director and Xu Le would die on the spot, and the real mastermind behind the scenes would be able to get away scot-free.
Thinking of this, he could not do anything, because once he raised his hands and surrendered, all his previous efforts would be in vain. However, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he had not noticed anything.
…
…
He thought for a long time, but in reality, in the rainy night, it only took a blink of an eye. The Whitewater Company's guards were still aiming their guns at Xu Le and Bai Yulan, but the gunman outside the crowd had already coldly pulled the trigger. After a muffled sound, a bullet lit up in the rainy night. It slid past the edge of the car's headlights, whistled through the puddles, and shot into the hard ground of the industrial park.
Xu Le and Bai Yulan both had time to dodge, but this shot missed. This was because at the moment before the gunman opened fire, a figure used the cover of the rainy night to quietly go behind the gunman from behind. A palm hit the gunman's elbow, interfering with his shooting, and at the same time, a palm strike was viciously aimed at the gunman's neck.
The gunman was a very strong character, as he was able to react in such a short time. He turned his head and dodged the palm strike. In the dim rain, he could clearly see that the attacker was the gentle engineer from the engineering department. He did not pay much attention to it, as he was prepared to knock down the engineer and then take advantage of the chaos to escape.
The poor gunman did not know that this seemingly gentle engineer was the most outstanding student in this batch of the First Military Academy. Although he was not as meticulous as his predecessors, Shen Li and Shi Qinghai, he still had extremely strong mobility.
With a crisp crack, Zhou Yu, whose military uniform was already drenched in sweat, used three extremely simple and practical movements to knock the gunman to the ground. He also broke the gunman's upper arm in passing. His attack was extremely ruthless.
…
…
The moment the gunshot rang out, no one would think about where the gunshot came from. Instead, they would think about who the gunshot had hit. After the well-trained Whitewater Company guards found that no one was hit, they did not go crazy and start firing randomly. However, the situation was complicated, and no one knew what was going on. Those gun barrels could spew out flames at any time.
Two military helicopters flew over at high speed, and the sound of gunshots rang out amidst the flames. In the rain, a deep trench was plowed on the ground by the powerful guns and cannons.
"We are unit 8384 of the Harbor City Garrison District. Everyone, put down your weapons immediately, put down your weapons immediately. Otherwise, we will kill without mercy, kill without mercy."
From the dark green military helicopter's microphone, a stern voice sounded, as if it was explaining the power of his order. The rotary gun barrels on the aircraft began to rotate at high speed again, making bursts of metal grinding sounds in the rainy night.
…
…
A deep trench appeared on the hard ground of the industrial park. The high temperature was still maintained in the marks made by the high-speed bullets. The rainwater that fell into the trench sizzled and turned into a faint mist.
The debris that was blown away by the powerful firepower of Darin's rotary gun hit the edge of the car, and the metal doors were densely packed with small dots.
Although the majority of the Whitewater Company guards were former soldiers of the Federation, their current status was only that of mercenaries. Facing the imposing Federal military helicopters, they did not have any intention of resisting. Moreover, the unreasonable gunfire from the cannons had already proved the viciousness of these soldiers. In a situation where they did not have heavy weapons, wanting to face the Federal Army head on was like a bare-handed person fighting a military mech.
In this world, there were not that many Feng Yu and Xu Le.
Supervisor José stared blankly at the dark green helicopter that landed on the ground, at the Federation soldiers that filed out, and then at the Whitewater Company guards that put down their weapons under Darin's gun barrel. For a moment, he could not help but be stunned. He did not understand what had happened, and why unit 8384 of the garrison district would suddenly appear here.
An officer walked down from the helicopter, and the rainwater hit his military cap, making patter sounds. The officer did not care about the strange gazes around him. Instead, he hurriedly jogged in front of Xu Le, and with a clap, he saluted and said in a deep voice:
"Under the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, unit 8384's Major Lan Xiaolong is here to report to the chief. We await the chief's orders!"
