President Pabre did not promise Xu Le anything. Although he personally announced that Xu Le was a Federation hero who could not see the light of day, he could not let Xu Le ask for too much. Amnesty was not a small matter, not to mention that the target of the amnesty was an intelligence agent of the anti-government army. Mr. President had to consider the possible political risks this matter could bring.
In another office of the President's residence, Xu Le kept his head down as he signed legal documents. The Federation law allowed the President to grant amnesty, but the relevant legal procedures were extremely complicated. Although the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of National Defense had full authority to represent him in these legal procedures, the final signing and certification was not a small task.
After signing the legal documents that were more than ten centimeters thick, he was brought to another office. On the smooth black table, there were two thin documents.
General Miles sat to the side, smoking a thick cigarette in his mouth. Several officers of the Ministry of National Defense were waiting for him.
Xu Le knew that only by signing these two documents would he be able to truly regain his freedom. He walked forward and carefully read the two thin documents. His eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of doubt.
After the conversation in prison, he originally thought that Army God Li Pifu had already seen through all of his details. The reason why the military supported the President's amnesty was because the military needed his special ability to enter the Empire as a spy and act as a suicide squad in this magnificent space war.
However, he did not expect that these two documents did not include any content in this regard. They only required him to give up some related rights and accept any orders from the Federal military at any time.
Perhaps this clause already hid that meaning? He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the documents and thought that by signing these documents, he would become a soldier of the Federation for life. Not only would he have to obey military orders to the death like a soldier, but he might also be arranged to do some very strange things.
He did not feel that this was unfair. 713 years of imprisonment was erased by Mr. President. It was natural for him to do something for the Federation. On the contrary, he felt that these conditions were too generous.
"You have a month's leave, then report to the Ministry of National Defense. As for who to report to, you know best." Admiral Miles put down the cigarette in his hand and said, "I don't know why the commander appreciates you so much, but I don't want to see you die anyway. Sign the document and leave quickly."
"Shi Qinghai?" Xu Le still didn't let go of this issue and said seriously, "Even if I sign the document, I may not fulfill my duties."
"If you don't fulfill your duties, the pardon will be automatically revoked, and you will be locked up in Fox Fort for seven hundred and thirteen years." General Miles stared into his eyes like an eagle.
"I'm not afraid of being shut off." Xu Le smiled bitterly and began to write.
After signing the thin document that was similar to a slave contract, it was obvious that both General Miles and the officers of the Department of Defense were relieved.
As the number one figure in the federal military, whether it was giving Xu Le an award, a special pardon, or signing the document at this time, General Miles should not have appeared at all. However, this was the task that his teacher had personally given him over the phone, so he had to be cautious.
"Kid, you are free, and you will never be free again."
The officers of the Department of Defense took the document and walked out of the office with solemn expressions. General Miles walked out of the door and said in a deep voice.
At the entrance of the President's official residence, General Miles left first. He had come to the Capital Special District from the First Military Region just for Xu Le's matter.
Xu Le stood alone by the grass at the entrance of the President's official residence. He looked up at the sun in the sky and smelled the faint green fragrance of freshly cut grass. He was a little confused.
After a while, he took off the medal on his chest and put it in his pocket, then walked out of the official residence. The Special Task Force agents in black formal suits around him did not know that this young soldier was the terrorist who hurt many colleagues at the S2 Foundation building half a year ago. After looking at him vigilantly, they watched him leave.
Oh, he had no luggage on his back. He had no keys, no wallet, no bank card. He had nothing but a medal. He stood at the entrance of the President's official residence. The people coming and going did not recognize him. He did not know where he was going, because he did not even have the money to take the subway.
Xu Le looked up at the sky and thought for a while with narrowed eyes. Should he first contact Tai Zhiyuan or Zou Yu? The problem was, did he have to go into the official residence and borrow a phone from the President?
At this time, a black car without a logo slowly drove over. The pass on the window made the security personnel around the official residence not have any emotional reaction.
The window slowly rolled down, revealing Tai Zhiyuan's pale and thin face. He smiled and said, "Lost?"
"Well, a little." Xu Le smiled happily and opened the door.
Tai Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "You drive."
Xu Le was slightly stunned. He got into the familiar driver's seat and gently stroked the perfect steering wheel. He looked at the mini radar display window on the car computer and realized that it was his car.
"Where are you going?" Tai Zhiyuan was wearing a military uniform today. He leaned against the window and asked.
"I want to go home and have a look." Xu Le started the car and at the same time reached out his hand. "But I want to make a call first."
Tai Zhiyuan handed over the phone. Xu Le dialed a familiar number. After pausing for a moment, he said into the phone, "Yuzi, I'm out."
Tai Zhiyuan, who was looking out the window, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was blinded by the blazing sun above the capital.
Xu Le did not care about his reaction. He said softly to Zou Yu on the other side of the phone, "I'm sorry, that hooligan is still locked up. But they promised to do their best. Maybe he will be released soon."
In the end, he said very seriously, "Thank you."
The black car passed through the No. 2 highway. Accompanied by the slight hum of the engine, the sunroof opened. The sun and the warm wind of late spring came in and sprinkled on Xu Le and Tai Zhiyuan's upper bodies. The wind blew their hair.
"It's easy to get sick when you're exposed to too much wind," Tai Zhiyuan said.
"You've been in the army for so long. Isn't your body stronger than before?"
From Tai Zhiyuan's military uniform and slightly changed temperament and facial color, Xu Le had long guessed where this guy had been hiding for more than a year. Xu Le had never cared about Tai Zhiyuan's identity. He was the Crown Prince who was worshipped by most people in the Federation. He was only his friend, and the weaker one among his friends. This was because the Crown Prince's body was not very good. He had fainted in his arms before.
"I can't believe you were promoted to a major so quickly. I've done so many things, but I'm still just a captain."
"I was trained in the military. In the Liufeng Slope Club, the Lieutenant Colonel epaulettes were already prepared for you. But in the end, you ran to S2 to play the role of a lone hero. "
A faint mockery seeped out from Tai Zhiyuan's hairy upper lip. He was younger than Xu Le, but that weak and inexperienced feeling had long been blown away by the wind and smoke of Green Dragon Mountain. All that was left was calmness and confidence.
Xu Le raised his eyebrows and said, "I never wanted to play the role of a hero. Who knew that Macklin was actually a spy for the Empire? I admit, I'm just a guy with too much luck."
He took out the medal from his jacket pocket and threw it over.
Tai Zhiyuan looked at the shining Purple Star medal in his hand and said with a sigh, "When Li Pifu was your age, he only had two Purple Stars on his chest."
Xu Le smiled and didn't continue to discuss his own matters. He began to ask Tai Zhiyuan about his life in the military for more than a year. He hadn't seen blood, had he ever fired a gun, how did he get first place in the anti-terrorism exercise, and if there were any other girls besides Bai Qi …
In the black car, cheerful laughter gradually sounded. Traveling in the free wind and sunshine, a young man had forgotten the darkness of blood and fire, and a young man had forgotten his identity and status. Just like in H1 a long time ago, through the intercom, they were talking about very interesting things.
…
…
At the corner of the corridor, Xu Le took out a key and opened the door of Wangdu Apartment. This was the first time Tai Zhiyuan had come to this apartment. Like the owner of the place, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down. He seriously looked at the size and layout of the room.
The air circulation system of the apartment had always been working well. Although no one had lived here for more than half a year, there was still no dust or dirt. Xu Le poured a cup of tea for Tai Zhiyuan and then walked to the balcony. He looked at the green vines and leaves that had regrown and smiled slightly.
"Yuzi lived here after she got pregnant?" Tai Zhiyuan put down the teacup and suddenly asked.
"Yes, in June, the Zou family took her back." Xu Le didn't turn around and said, "The key I took just now was prepared for her. She always likes to forget to bring her key when she goes out."
"Zou Liuhuo. I went to take a look. The little guy is quite good-looking." Tai Zhiyuan's voice was like a riverbed that had been washed by water. It was a little rough. "You said it's not yours. Then it's Shi Qinghai's?"
Xu Le turned around and said seriously, "You have nothing to do with Zou Yu, right?"
After a moment of silence, Tai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Indeed … but can you speak to me more politely? Although I didn't help you much this time, and Li Pifu inexplicably took a fancy to you, but … after all, I did want to do something. "
"Is everything okay between you and your wife?"
"We had a quarrel, but it's not a big problem. I didn't go back to Mochou Mountain. Mother and son need to calm down for the time being."
Tai Zhiyuan said lightly and lightly, but Xu Le was very moved. In the end, he was too embarrassed to say anything related to gratitude.
His smile gradually disappeared. He didn't need to think about what he would do after regaining his freedom or what the Federal military would arrange for him. But he always remembered one thing and one person deeply.
"Can you help me investigate a person?"
"Who?"
"Bai Yulan."
After a moment, Tai Zhiyuan put down the phone, looked at him and said slowly, "Your secretary is in the capital. She's a member of Whitewater Group 7. She's holding a wedding ceremony tonight."
Xu Le was silent for a moment. He walked into the kitchen and began to carefully grind a three-pointed fine-edged knife.
