Xu Le had only had time to brush his teeth after waking up. He hadn't even combed his hair, so his somewhat messy black hair was scattered across his head. He quietly looked at the Justice Department official in front of him and noticed that this person's face was slightly red, and he was panting heavily. It seemed that he had just run not far.
"I won't cooperate because I'm not in the mood." At this moment, his feelings were complicated and heavy that no one could understand. He glanced at the official in front of him, shook his head, and walked forward somewhat numbly.
"You have to cooperate." There were about seven or eight officials from the Justice Department, and they directly blocked his path. The official from before said coldly, "Just now, we went to Wangdu Apartments to look for you, but you ran away first. We followed you all the way here and were almost shaken off by you. It took us a long time to find you. If you don't come with us, I have the right to arrest you."
At this moment, Xu Le's feelings were very messy and terrible, but it didn't take him long to understand what this Justice Department official wanted to investigate. Naturally, it was related to Zhang Xiaomeng, who had just walked out of the parliament building. The Justice Department wanted to accuse Senator Macklin of participating in the Linhai assassination, so they naturally needed his testimony.
However, this was a cold and sad day. He just subconsciously wanted to leave, leave the crowd behind him, leave his chaotic emotions, and leave this place as soon as possible. Therefore, he didn't want to go to the Justice Department for any investigation. He pushed the official in front of him away and continued to walk forward in silence.
Suddenly, a voice said, "If I'm not wrong, our goal should be the same. You know that we are investigating Macklin, so I think you should come with us."
Xu Le looked up and saw Inspector Xiao Wenjing. He was no stranger to this inspector. During the murder case on Hushan Road, the two of them had interacted many times. In the recent news, this inspector who had been temporarily transferred to the Justice Department to be in charge of the Macklin case had been on the news many times.
"Goal? What goal? " Xu Le met his serious gaze and suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was full of self-mockery and frustration. It was unknown whether he was asking the other party or himself.
Under the obstruction of Inspector Xiao Wenjing, the officials of the Justice Department watched the young man leave without taking any coercive measures. The officials looked at Xiao Wenjing and asked for the reason in confusion. They anxiously thought about the importance of this person to the Macklin case.
"When we checked the files this morning, he was from the Department of Defense. We didn't have the authority, so we could only ask for his cooperation." Xiao Wenjing looked at Xu Le's back as he walked toward the lawn. For some reason, she could feel the emptiness in this young man's heart. The efficiency of the Ministry of Justice was very high. When they found out that the Green Dragon Mountain Anti-Government Army had provided an important witness, the follow-up work immediately started. Thus, Xiao Wenjing saw a lot of secret files regarding Xu Le.
Xiao Wenjing knew that Xu Le and the girl who was being interviewed on the stone steps were once lovers. After some sorting out, it didn't take too much effort for this sharp inspector to guess what had happened. The recent series of scandals in the Federation also made him understand why this man named Xu Le was involved in the murder case on Hushan Road.
"Even if he is an officer directly in charge of the Department of Defense, this matter is too important. In the future, we will need him to testify in court," an official said.
"Keep an eye on him. I will go and apply for the authority. Also, don't provoke him at this time. He is probably in a bad mood." Xiao Wenjing walked toward the car and said, "Actually, when he thinks it through, he will come and find us."
…
…
Xu Le sat on the bench by the lawn and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. His honest and simple face didn't show the intense inner struggle at this time. Instead, he looked a little lonely because of the silence.
She was still alive, which was good. However, why was his heart filled with joy and also sadness? Was it because he was deceived? But he should be very clear that the news of her death was hidden because of the influence of many people. But why was he still sad?
He was not a fool. He knew very well what it meant to have the girl of his first love come back to life. He also knew that his one year of time, one year of sadness, one year of hard work, and one year of disregard for life and death were all fake. However, she was still alive, wasn't she? It was better for her to be alive than to be gone forever. Since that was the case, what was there to be angry and dissatisfied about? But … in the end, his mood was like the late autumn wind. It was still a little bleak and not like a young man.
Because of her death, he had cried in pain and tossed and turned in bed at night. In order to seek justice for her, he was not even afraid of exposing his identity as a fugitive from the Federation. A small character like him had resolutely thrown himself into the great turmoil of the Federation. He was as tenacious as a rock and stared at Senator Macklin like a poisonous snake. He worked hard and threw himself into the development of new mecha. He trampled on Lin Yuanhu and ruined the other party's election. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to see how Macklin would die. If the Federation did not let him die, he was already prepared to put his life on the line to kill Macklin and avenge her.
The breath he had held in his chest for a year, at the moment when he was about to release it, he suddenly realized that there was no reason to hold it. It was like an animal that had hibernated for half a year, only to realize that the vast expanse of white snow was fake — it was a bubble that had been torn apart.
The source of all that he was willing to give up everything was also fake. Xu Le sat on a bench and silently looked at the calm pond in front of him. The pond was very large and reflected the majestic parliament building. Because of the cold weather, the birds had already flown to South Kezhou, and not many of them came to accompany the lonely Xu Le.
Xu Le was indeed happy that the girl was still alive. He had never been so happy before. But what followed was disappointment and bitterness. What exactly was he in her heart? He was a genius in mecha mechanics and a powerful young expert. But the first love of his life was so bizarre that even a novelist would find it hard to imagine. He could not understand it at all.
After Uncle Feng Yu died, he told himself never to cry again. Then, when he found out about Zhang Xiaomeng's death, he cried in his blanket. Today's complex emotions made his nose ache. He could not explain it clearly. The young lad only wanted to cry properly in front of the still water in front of him.
At that moment, the phone rang. Xu Le took out his phone from his pants and said a few words. Just as he was about to turn it off, he saw another call.
On the other end of the line was Zou Yu. Her voice carried a trace of nervousness and doubt. Other than the Federation government's intelligence department, the only people who knew about the story between Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng were those closest to him. The eldest daughter of the Zou family was naturally one of them. When she saw the girl named Zhang Xiaomeng on the news, she immediately thought of how shocked Xu Le would be when he found out.
Xu Le spoke a few words to her softly over the phone and calmed down a little. It was always good to have friends who cared about you at such a time. After hanging up the phone, he lit another cigarette. He wanted to get rid of the sour smell in his nose. He thought that since Zou Yu had already made the call, no one should bother him anymore.
At that moment, an email was sent to his phone. There was a simple line of words on the email:
"I told you a long time ago, love … is about two mouths. You're not crying right now, are you? One last thing, at least she's still alive, right? If you're disappointed and sad right now, doesn't that mean you want her to die? "
Xu Le stared at the phone screen in a daze. He didn't try to call back because he knew that the guy must have turned off his phone and thrown the card away in the shortest time possible, just like the previous few times. He smiled. Now that he was wanted by the Federation, he didn't hesitate to take the risk to persuade him. Mr. Shi was really a good guy.
Xu Le stubbed out the cigarette. He was about to pinch the cigarette with two fingers and look for a trash can like in the past, but after thinking about it, he threw it into the beautiful, quiet, and birdless pond.
Yes, it was better to be alive than dead. This was a good thing, but it would no longer be his problem in the future.
He forced a gentle smile on his face, buttoned up the collar of his military uniform, and walked toward the bus stop outside the lawn. When he walked to the side of the street, a bus stopped at the license plate, and Bai Yulan walked out. This delicate man still had his head down, and his black hair fell in front of his forehead, swaying gently in the autumn wind.
Bai Yulan noticed that Xu Le's mood seemed a little strange today. The smile that came from his heart in the past seemed a little awkward. He didn't know the specific reason for this, so he silently followed beside him.
The two men walked silently to the street. Suddenly, a few black bulletproof cars drove in front of them. There were police cars in front and behind, with sirens blaring to clear the road, protecting the important people in the cars.
Bai Yulan glanced in that direction and said softly, "Even the people in the mountains have started to make a move. Senator Macklin probably won't be able to hold on this time."
Xu Le's eyes didn't move at all. He quietly looked at the colored bricks on the sidewalk in front of him and asked softly, "Just now, you said that the company has a mission? I remember that the seventh team hasn't had a mission for a year. The Security Advisory Department should be very clear that you guys are not suitable candidates to be bodyguards. "
Just as he was talking, the heavily guarded motorcade slowly drove across the street. In the back seat of the car in the middle, Zhang Xiaomeng stared blankly at the man across the street through the bulletproof glass window. She was silent.
…
…
In the barracks of the Special Operations Division of the Second Military Region in S2, a young officer named Yuan Zitai was staring blankly at the scene of the hearing on TV. He was silent for a long time. He blocked the gazes of most of his colleagues, but no one angrily expressed their opinions. This was because in just half a year, officer Yuan Zitai had gained the respect and even awe of everyone with his bravery in battle and excellent military training.
Although he had the recommendation of the First Military Academy, if he didn't show the corresponding ability on the battlefield, it was impossible for him to gain the trust of the army.
According to his education, he was a second lieutenant when he first joined the army. In just less than a year, he was promoted to captain. This was really a speed that made people envious.
