Tai Zhiyuan walked to the door and saw Xu Le sharpening the knife by the sink. He frowned and said coldly, "You're going to make dinner for me personally? Should I feel honored? "
He knew what Xu Le wanted to do, so he deliberately said this to dispel his thoughts. Xu Le also knew what he meant, so he didn't stop his hands. He lowered his head and let the thin water flow on the tip of the knife. He said softly, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany you for dinner."
"Don't be so naive. You should think about why President Li Pifu, Pabre, is willing to stand up for you, instead of making a scene at the wedding to avenge yourself and Shi Qinghai." Tai Zhiyuan frowned and said disapprovingly.
"I don't want to make a scene, I just want to ask him face to face, and then … he has to give me back what he should give me back."
Xu Le paused for a moment and said seriously. Tai Zhiyuan looked at the firm lines on his side face and sighed softly. He thought that this guy's character hadn't changed at all. Even after experiencing so many major events and being locked in a dark prison for so long, he still didn't change at all. Once he set his mind on something, he would do it. He didn't look like a person who had just gotten freedom, who should be happy but still be afraid of self-control.
…
…
In the evening, the Capital Special District was bathed in the western sunset glow. The gentle spring breeze and blooming flowers and trees were showing off on both sides of the street. At the end of Lixing Avenue, one could faintly see the high-rise buildings in the city center in the distance and the aircraft gliding by from time to time. All kinds of cars were parked outside a seemingly inconspicuous hotel, and the three-dimensional ray color map at the entrance was constantly changing words and graphics.
A black car was parked on the opposite side of Lixing Avenue. The window was rolled down, and one could faintly hear the wedding emcee's voice and soft music. Xu Le squinted his eyes and looked over there. He noticed that most of the cars outside the hotel were military vehicles with special license plates of each state. The vehicles were covered with dust, so they must have just come here after a long journey.
On the small light screen at the entrance of the hotel, in addition to the changing images and words, there was a row of words that had never changed: Congratulations to Mr. Ning He and Miss Bao Xiaoli on their wedding, and may they grow old together.
"Ning He is Bai Yulan's sworn brother. They are both from the 17th Armored Division. Back then, on the mining planet in Bermuda, they saved each other's lives. Therefore, when Ning He gets married, your secretary has to be present. Maybe he doesn't know that you've been released from prison. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so openly."
Tai Zhiyuan put down the phone and told Xu Le what he had just heard. As the Crown Prince of the Tai family, even though he had a huge conflict with Mochou, it was very easy for him to know the files and past of most of the people in the Federation.
"Sworn brothers …" When Xu Le heard these four words, he thought of the train trip he and Bai Yulan took from the capital to Hong Kong every week last year. He thought of the seamless cooperation they had when they were developing the MX mecha. He thought of the rashness at the Old Moon base and the silence outside the S2 Four States Peace Foundation building. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Tai Zhiyuan's gaze lightly swept past the dusty license plates of the military vehicles at the entrance of the hotel. With his status, accompanying Xu Le to this place was already giving him enough face. However, when he thought of Xu Le's personality, he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Bai Yulan was expelled from the military court, so he joined White Water. But Ning He is different. He has always been in the military and is doing very well. Today, there should be quite a few officers from the 17th Armored Division here. These people have a good relationship with Bai Yulan … "
"And those people from the 7th Armored Division. Bai Yulan isn't in active service, but after the incident with the 7th Armored Division, Bai Yulan took all the responsibility. The others didn't have anything to do with it. These people all follow Bai Yulan's lead, so I think they are all willing to give their lives for him. "
He pointed at the military vehicles and said, "Most of them are from the 1st Armored Division. Although they have returned to their respective units and become the trump cards of their respective units, they are still very much alive. But I think if anything happens to Bai Yulan, the speed at which they pull out their guns won't slow down at all. "
Xu Le knew that Tai Zhiyuan was warning him. In the Federation society, no matter how strong one's background was, if they were to encounter a group of red-eyed active duty officers, they would only be unlucky. This was also why Zou You dared to order the guards to open fire in Linhai state, while the second generation of the seven great families were much more cautious. Since ancient times, the barrel of a gun had its own unique power and magic.
"I just wanted to ask him a few questions," Xu Le explained again.
Tai Zhiyuan thought to himself, then why did you sharpen your knife so hard? He said softly, "The young officer is someone that many people want to win over. Bai Yulan is not an active duty soldier, but he has enough influence in this circle. Of course, this is what he deserves, because he has taken the blame for many of these soldiers, taken the blame, and saved their lives … I heard that Shen Li sent a gift, so it seems that Bai Yulan's appearance is something that my mother has acquiesced to. I won't get involved in this matter, so be careful."
Xu Le nodded, opened the door, and walked out. He avoided the roaring cars on Lixing Avenue, walked past the dusty military vehicles, and stopped at the side door of the hotel. He raised his head and looked at the rotating words of blessing on the three-dimensional hologram. Through the glass, he looked at the couple on the stage who were smiling happily. His heart warmed slightly, and he decided to wait outside so as not to disturb some irrelevant people.
…
…
The hotel where the ceremony was held was not very eye-catching, but the wine and food at the wedding banquet were quite good. The wild beef bought from the black market was served as complex protein meat, and the guests tasted it with satisfaction, tacitly silent. The HTD Bureau of the Federation still seemed to strictly enforce the Wildlife Protection Law, but in fact, in many occasions, especially in many occasions in the capital, this law had become a cover.
Major Ning He was 31 years old this year. Two years ago, he was transferred from the 8384th Unit, which was the 17th Armored Division, to the office of the First Military Region's General Staff Officer. Now, he was already a Level 2 Combat Staff Officer. Although he was not a big shot, he had a very good future. At his wedding banquet, many important people from the military region were invited. In this kind of occasion, the HTD Bureau would not blindly carry out official business.
According to the tradition of the Federation, Ning He and the bride drank wine and fed each other a piece of soft deep-sea shellfish meat, which represented their affection. The ceremony was almost done. After the chief made a speech on behalf of the staff officer's office, the guests began to eat happily, waiting for the couple to come forward and toast.
After a busy day, Ning He felt a little tired, but as the groom, he couldn't let this tiredness show. He whispered something to the bride, then turned his head and saw a familiar figure in the side hall. A sincere smile appeared on his face.
He and Bai Yulan had been comrades for many years. They were comrades who had squeezed into the same mecha and trusted each other in life and death. Although the two of them had not seen each other much in the past few years, and because of the Whitewater Company case, Bai Yulan had deliberately distanced herself from them, but Ning He admitted that he still saw Bai Yulan as his most trusted partner. Today was his wedding day. If Bai Yulan was not here, it would be a regret that could not be made up for.
Fortunately, he had rushed back. Ning He raised the empty glass in his hand towards the side hall and smiled. He noticed that Bai Yulan's smile was as calm as usual, but there was an unusual hint of heaviness between her brows.
Ning He frowned slightly. He knew that Bai Yulan seemed to have been on some secret mission and caused some trouble. However, with his ability in the military region, he could not find any clues. The moment he turned his head, his gaze swept across the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window. He saw a person standing outside the window and couldn't help but freeze.
The young man outside the hotel had an ordinary face and was dressed plainly. His slightly squinted eyes were faintly visible. He gave off an amiable feeling, like a passerby waiting for someone. But for some reason, Ning He felt that this person was very dangerous, extremely dangerous. And the person he was waiting for was definitely someone at the wedding venue.
Ning He, who had survived the battle with the Empire in Bermuda, would not feel the slightest bit of fear because of the appearance of such a person. He just did not want to be disturbed at his wedding. He waved his hand and called for an officer in the side hall. He whispered a few words, and the officer's eyebrows twitched slightly. There was a hint of disdain and hatred in his eyes as he nodded.
Xu Le did not want to disturb the most important day of a newlywed's life, so he obediently waited outside the hotel. He deliberately put some distance between himself and the entrance of the hotel. However, he did not know that his presence had already disturbed the other party.
…
…
The sky gradually darkened, and the guests in the hotel had basically all left. Only a few tables of officers in the side hall, the soldiers who had gone through life and death with the groom, were still drinking. After going through all this with great difficulty, Ning He smiled bitterly and cupped his hands in farewell. Surrounded by a group of people, he walked to the main entrance of the hotel and prepared to board the limousine and leave.
Ning He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the eye-catching young man was still waiting in the distance. He lowered his head and said to the officer beside him, "I don't want to upset Xiaoli, so I'll go with her first. You let Xiao Bai leave through the side door."
"Lao Bai drank a little too much and won't leave," the officer said disdainfully. "What are you afraid of if you go through the front door? Today is your big day. I'll kill whoever dares to cause trouble. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. "
Ning He smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll make a big deal out of this."
The officer beside him was called Xiong Linquan. He was the gunner of Team 7 back in the day. He had followed Bai Yulan to those remote mineral planets and killed countless pirates and imperial special forces who had infiltrated. This person was fierce and fierce, and his methods of dealing with trouble were unusually direct and efficient. Ning He had absolute faith in his abilities. It was just that this was a special day, so he said a few more words.
From the bottom of their hearts, these soldiers did not think that the man in the distance was any real trouble, so they were not very worried. After a few words of idle chatter, the groom got into his wedding car and left amidst the cheers and jeers of the bride's sisters.
Watching the newlyweds' motorcade leave the hotel, Xu Le, who had been standing there for a long time, sighed softly. He did not feel too much regret, but he did feel a little envious. Two years ago, he had made a lot of warm life plans. He wanted to marry Zhang Xiaomeng, have children, buy a house, and work. Who would have thought that his life would turn into such a strange shape? He had become a stranger to that beautiful girl with * * * * *, and he rarely thought of her recently …
Earlier, too many guests had come out of the hotel, so he had retreated to the corner of the street. At this time, he was about to take a few steps toward the front door when he unexpectedly saw a few officers in dark green military uniforms walking directly toward him.
"What do you do?" Xiong Linquan asked with a cold face. The coldness and arrogance in his bones were obvious, and he had not trimmed them in the slightest.
"I'm waiting for someone," answered Xu Le.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Xu Le said with a smile, "Bai Magnolia."
After a moment of silence, the officers frowned at the same time. No matter how unreasonable a soldier was, it was impossible for them to directly wave their fists and hit someone on the streets of the capital, so Xiong Linquan suppressed his temper and asked a few questions. He did not expect this person to answer so simply and directly.
It turned out that this guy was really here to cause trouble for Lao Bai. After confirming this, Xiong Linquan and the officers beside him did not have the slightest bit of vigilance. Instead, they felt a little happy. There were not many opportunities to solve problems for Lao Bai. If it were based on their nature, they would be willing to knock this young man to the ground, step on him a few times, spit on him, and then drag him to the hotel like a dead dog and let him lie at Lao Bai's feet …
However, before Ning He left, Xiong Linquan had already told him not to do anything, so he did not do anything. He only coldly raised his chin and lightly waved the index finger of his right hand. "Today, we're holding a joyous occasion here. You don't have to wait anymore … If you want to die for Lao Bai, come back another day."
These soldiers could feel the danger that Xu Le's calm represented, but they did not care because their lives were always accompanied by danger. Moreover, today, the 17th Armored Division and the fierce figures of the Seventh Squad were gathered in the hotel. If Ning He was personally handling this matter, perhaps he would not have added those last provocative words, but Xiong Linquan was not this kind of person.
Xu Le did not react to these words, only smiling. As the technical director of the Seventh Squad, although the Seventh Squad had long been in a semi-disbanded state, and although he had not seen a single member of the squad, he had seen the files and knew the character and ability of this officer in front of him.
His calmness in front of Xiong Linquan was a provocation. Xiong Linquan tilted his head and moved extremely close to him. He extended his right index finger and pointed it at the other's eyes. He said softly with a smile, "If I had a gun, I would have shot you. The problem is that I'm here to attend a wedding. According to the rules, I can't bring a gun, so I can't shoot you. If you make a move, I'll smash you into pieces. The problem is that you're definitely going to dress as a woman, and there are also Federation laws, so I can't beat you up … "
Xiong Linquan straightened his body, looked at Xu Le with slight mockery, and said, "What happens next will definitely be a little interesting."
After saying this, he tidied up his military uniform, turned around, and left, not paying any more attention to Xu Le. Xu Le's brows furrowed slightly. Looking at this person's back, a trace of alarm appeared in his heart.
With a loud roar of the accelerator, a dark green military vehicle suddenly started. It vibrated and rushed directly from the road onto the sidewalk, brushing past Xiong Linquan's side and crashing toward Xu Le!
The military vehicle started so violently that the dust on the dark green body of the vehicle trembled. Like an arrow released from a bow, it slammed into Xu Le's body. In an instant, the hard lines of the vehicle were only a few meters away from Xu Le.
He couldn't shoot, so it was inconvenient for him to make the first move. Then, a traffic accident would happen. In this instant, Xu Le understood what the other was trying to do. His pupils constricted slightly as he looked at the military vehicle coming toward him, but his feet were as steady as iron and didn't move at all.
Accompanied by the smell of burning and the sharp and short sound of brakes, the dark green military vehicle came to an abrupt stop. The bottom metal plate at the front of the vehicle was less than half a meter away from Xu Le's knees.
Xu Le didn't move. It wasn't because he didn't react in time, but because there was probably no one in the Federation with a faster reaction time than him. It wasn't that he wanted to pretend to be calm and indifferent and ignore the dangerous aura of the military vehicle just now. It was because after experiencing so many major events, his state of mind was strong enough to know that the other was just trying to scare him. Most importantly, he knew his own body well. This body was becoming more and more like the number one machine that the uncle had once mentioned. Even if the military vehicle didn't stop just now, he had enough time to dodge … or even counterattack.
Xiong Linquan and the other officers turned around with disdainful smiles. They were prepared to see Xu Le fall to the ground in fear, or even go limp. However, they didn't expect to see Xu Le still standing in front of the military vehicle. He didn't move at all. Other than his eyes narrowing even more than before, there was no reaction at all.
The expressions of Xiong Linquan and the other officers suddenly became serious.
Previously, they weren't worried that there would be any accidental injuries because the one driving the military vehicle now was Liu Jiao. Liu Jiao was in charge of all the transfer procedures of Team 7. There was nothing that he didn't know how to drive or that he couldn't drive. However, they didn't expect that Xu Le wouldn't react in the slightest under the threat of a military vehicle driven by Liu Jiao himself.
Earlier, on the other side of the street, Tai Zhiyuan had mentioned these military vehicles to Xu Le. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the stern face of the thin officer in the driver's seat through the glass window. He tried to compare the other person with Team 7's files.
There were many special passes pasted on the dark green military vehicle, which meant that this military vehicle could be arrogant and fearless. At this time, the vehicle and the people were almost touching. The military vehicle was still roaring nonstop, arrogantly charging forward and stopping. It was like a fierce tiger preparing to leap out of the grass, as if it was ready to knock Xu Le down to the ground and crush him into a pulp.
A loud roar sounded in front of them. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the military vehicle in front of him. He immediately recognized that the engine of this military vehicle was the V25 model, and it had been modified. It didn't use a hybrid power output, but used a pure concentrated fuel system. Its acceleration was extremely fast, and the body frame of the vehicle had three levels of reinforcement. Under certain special circumstances, it could even be used as an armored collision vehicle. If such a military vehicle were to crash into a person's body, what would the consequences be?
Amidst the roaring sound of the accelerator, Xu Le glanced at Xiong Linquan, who had already turned around. He noticed that this person's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. At the same time, Liu Jiao's expression also turned cold in the military vehicle.
They confirmed that Xu Le was a dangerous program, and they confirmed that this person was here to cause trouble for Lao Bai, so their hearts suddenly turned cold. They wanted to help Lao Bai get rid of this trouble before it happened.
It seemed that all they needed to do was to step on the accelerator.
…
…
Xu Le had to admit that the driving skills of the person in the military vehicle in front of him had reached the pinnacle, but he also had to admit that the original members of Team 7 were very capable and qualified to be arrogant. Hearing the roaring sound of the accelerator, feeling the arrogance and coldness of the other party, and feeling the danger, Xu Le's back faintly felt numb and itchy, as if all 56,000 hairs on his body were standing on end at the same time.
This feeling instantly turned into a burning sensation that filled Xu Le's entire body. He took a step back without thinking, and then, under the gazes of the officers in front of him, he raised his right leg and kicked down.
When the military boot landed on the military vehicle, a crack appeared on the sole of the boot. As the crack slowly expanded, a loud boom was heard from it.
The dark green military vehicle was slightly shaken by the kick, and the hard front panel was slightly deformed. The central control computer on the vehicle let out a sharp warning sound, and the hood of the vehicle suddenly tilted up and slammed into the sky. White smoke rose from the front engine compartment, and the engine was immediately turned off.
…
…
The next moment, Liu Jiao ran down from the military vehicle and slammed the door with force. She ran to the front, not paying attention to Xu Le who had just retracted his leg. She just stared dumbfoundedly at the place where the white smoke was everywhere. She did not think that she had wanted to kill that guy earlier. She only felt that her mind was a little confused, and she felt that everything she saw was fake.
The expressions of Xiong Linquan and the other officers also became very interesting. In an instant, their faces turned white and then black as iron. They were different from Liu Jiao. They were all combat personnel. Although they were shocked by Xu Le's terrifying kick, they immediately thought of preparing for battle!
"Who the f * ck is this person? What kind of leg is this? "
Xiong Linquan thought in his heart. After being in the military for so many years, he had seen many powerful special forces soldiers. However, other than the few people who were rumored to be gods at the front line of the West Woods, where had he seen such a fierce person in real life? Although he was a little confused, his hands did not slow down. He had already reached for the gun at his waist. The Federal Army regulations strictly prohibited the carrying of firearms when going out in private. However, he was a gun fanatic and still carried a pistol. At this moment, he was a little doubtful that he could knock down the person in front of him with just a pistol. It seemed like he should have brought a Cayenne over …
Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were preparing to take out their guns, Xu Le narrowed his eyes. The muscles behind his calves bunched up. Just as he was about to pounce over and knock down the person, he heard a familiar voice. "Put away your gun. If you don't want to die … this is the officer."
He had not heard this voice for half a year, but it was still so soft and gentle. Just like every day last year, she stayed by Xu Le's side, asking him what kind of tea he wanted to drink and where to put his clothes.
