When Lin Daohai brought out his status as the successor of the Lin Family, it was quite convincing. After all, compared to the Green Dragon Mountain's anti-government army, the history of the seven great families was more than twice as long. What was even more confusing was that the Green Dragon Mountain's bloodline, which overthrew the seven great families as representatives of all evils, seemed to never lack dog shit characters like Nan Mingxiu, who deeply envied and even faintly revered the seven great families.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Nan Mingxiu listened to Lin Douhai's advice and suppressed his anger with great difficulty. He rubbed his aching neck and stared at the backs of the people disappearing on the stone path. His eyes flashed with a trace of gloominess as he rubbed his throat and said in a hoarse voice.
Probably because he often said these kinds of meaningless threats in Green Dragon Mountain, the soldiers of the anti-government army didn't show any strange expressions on their faces. The problem was that if this was Green Dragon Mountain, perhaps this leader could really kill someone. But in the capital city, even in the suburbs, he didn't have this kind of ability.
Even the eagles of the mountains would have to hide in this kind of place, the tigers would have to lie down, and the giant serpents would have to coil up. The prosperous and developed S1 had this kind of ability that pervaded the air. It was probably because of this that the leader of Nan Shui insisted on not taking a position in the Federation government and continued to stay in the barren Green Dragon Mountain.
Nan Mingxiu was indeed very angry, but when he thought of the coldness in that young officer's narrowed eyes and the iron like hand on his throat, his heart was filled with endless fear, even his legs became a bit weak.
"You can't kill him." Lin Douhai looked at Nan Mingxiu with slight ridicule. For a moment, he forgot to pretend to respect this leader's son, probably because it was rare to find someone more useless than him.
"Right now you are Chairman Jin Jifan's secretary in name, then you should be very clear, who was Chairman Jin's number two person before." Lin Douhai patiently taught: "The person you want to kill, once directly charged into the Four Provinces and killed your number two person … … If you force this kind of ruthless person into a corner, what good will it do you?"
Nan Mingxiu's body trembled as he looked at him in disbelief. After a long silence, he said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you say before, the Federation is a society ruled by law, not Green Dragon Mountain, and we can't just randomly shout and kill?"
"I'm not talking to you anymore." Lin Douhai said in annoyance. He thought to himself, I've already told you that this brat has climbed up the mountain known as the Lees of Philadelphia. Why would he care about something like the Federation's laws?
This was probably the true opinion of the seven great families and most of the upper echelons of the Federation towards Xu Le, this young lieutenant colonel. Hidden within their forbearance was infinite vigilance and fear.
…
…
Whether it was gloomy or fearful, Xu Le didn't care. No matter what other people thought or felt about him, it wouldn't affect him. Being cursed behind his back wouldn't give him a headache, as long as he could ensure that the other party wouldn't hurt him and the people he cared about.
The conflict between him and the leader's son seemed to be caused by Lin Douhai's sarcasm, Lan Xiaolong's "not stirring up trouble", and this person's stupidity and arrogance, but only Xu Le himself knew the truth. Just by looking at Nan Mingxiu, he thought of the girl holding his arm at the banquet. He thought of how this person had once revealed a naked desire of possession, wanting to eliminate some troubles for a certain girl in advance.
Xu Le didn't have the ability to see lightning like the old man of Philadelphia. Naturally, he didn't really expect to scare the arrogant and willful Nan Mingxiu into not daring to do anything. However, he believed that after he left, Lin Douhai would definitely tell the people of Green Dragon Mountain about his glorious deeds in order to hide his incompetence in his own territory. If those glorious deeds still couldn't wake Nan Mingxiu up, then it could only mean that this person was stupid to an incomprehensible degree. A person as stupid as this … should have died a long time ago.
It seemed that Macklin's death at his hands was still a secret. However, this secret couldn't be kept for too long, especially in a certain level of the Federation society.
In the No.1 Courtyard of the Wood Valley, the subordinates sent by the Seventh Young Master to serve Xu Le and his group reported everything that happened on the way to him. Li Xiaotong, with a cold face, saw that Xu Le's expression seemed to be as usual. Only then did he feel relieved. He asked a few questions briefly and didn't mention it again.
According to Mrs. Zhong's instructions, Zhong Huoyan went to take a nap full of excitement, but she didn't know if she could fall asleep. In this little girl's opinion, the fun brought by those crazy activities in the morning was far less fun than Brother Xu Le showing his small hand under the pine tree halfway up the cliff and saying those words.
In the extremely spacious main courtyard, a simple lunch was in progress. The food was naturally exquisite, but the guests present were not too interested in it. Their main purpose today was to get close to the calculative Seventh Young Master.
There weren't many guests. After lunch, six or seven middle-aged and young people intentionally or unintentionally surrounded Li Xiaotong. They looked at the authentic paintings and paintings in the No.1 Courtyard of the Wood Valley and discussed in low voices. Although the backgrounds of these people were far inferior to the seven great families, they had grown up in a cultural environment built by money since childhood. Their eyesight was not too bad, and their words were always exquisite.
Li Xiaotong indifferently chatted with the guests, but from time to time, he glanced at Xu Le in the corner from the corner of his eyes. When he found that guy was still seriously eating the yellow cake with caviar, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
During the lunch, he didn't introduce Xu Le's identity. He didn't even deliberately talk to Xu Le in front of these guests. He just wanted to see what kind of attitude these guests would have before they knew Xu Le's background. In some ways, the Seventh Young Master of the Li family was more outstanding than his lifelong rival, Li Xiuzhu.
Xu Le knew that the role he had to play today was a flag with a big "Li" written on it. Although he admitted that his relationship with the Lees of Philadelphia was not as exaggerated as the rumors in the Federation, since Li Xiaotong wanted to use the flag to scare people, he could only let him do it. Presumably, that old man wouldn't care about such a small matter.
He was wearing a military uniform today and deliberately didn't wear epaulettes. Although it was somewhat against military regulations, if he didn't want to always be looked at in shock, there seemed to be no other way. It was also for this reason that the guests in the courtyard didn't recognize him. They just politely nodded with a sense of distance and walked away.
While waiting for Li Qishao to unfurl his flag, he quickly ate. Thinking that he still had to accompany Little Watermelon to the amusement park in the afternoon, he decided to eat his fill first. Otherwise, if his face really turned pale and he fainted next to the little girl, he was afraid that he would lose face again. He had already lost face many times today, and he was afraid that he would lose face again.
Now that the taste buds on his tongue had gradually gotten used to the rich taste of the caviar, he didn't frown like he did in the H1 area.
Li Wei had been quietly listening to Li Qishao's circle. He didn't say a word, but he also didn't miss a single word. Xu Le noticed this, but he knew his character since he was young, so he didn't find it strange and didn't want to disturb him.
The sun shone through the ancient trees above the courtyard, and it was very quiet. Xu Le ate his food quietly, but he didn't expect that a slightly chubby middle-aged man would suddenly find him.
This middle-aged man introduced himself. His surname was Cheng, and his name was Feng Shi. He was a researcher at the Darcy State Mechanical College. This person made a design that he was very proud of, but he couldn't find a sponsor to continue his research. Through some unknown means, he somehow managed to find an opportunity to enter the First Courtyard of the Wood Valley ….
However, after staying in the first courtyard for a few hours, Cheng Fengshi found that he couldn't find any opportunity to promote his research. He was somewhat dejected. He didn't know that the gloomy young man was the second successor of the Li family. He only knew that there were a lot of important people in the guests today, and people like him didn't have the opportunity to speak.
After struggling for a while, Cheng Fengshi was finally unwilling to give up. He had the thought of smashing a jar that had already been broken, so he set his eyes on Xu Le. In his opinion, this young officer who no one paid attention to was probably like him, who also came to the first courtyard for some unknown reason. Even if the other party didn't have money, it was always good to communicate and show off one's proud work.
"Micro turbocharger system? A hydrogen-based turbocharger system? " Xu Le held a handkerchief with the scent of osmanthus in one hand and wiped the remnants of caviar on his lips. His other hand was holding a few pieces of paper and looking at them. His voice was full of surprise.
As an excellent mechanical engineer, he quickly saw the value of these few pages of paper. More importantly, the direction of Cheng Fengshi's research seemed to be feasible.
"Yes, but what are you going to use for the oxidizer?" Xu Le put down the handkerchief and asked doubtfully, "And I don't understand. The current standard output model used by the Federation has abandoned turbochargers for many years. Especially if you want to do miniaturization, how are you going to pass the material hurdle? Also, isn't the interference of the leaf suction in the design a bit too big? "
Cheng Fengshi was slightly stunned, but then he was overjoyed. He didn't think that the person he randomly found would be so knowledgeable. Although the question was simple, it hit the nail on the head. Although he still didn't have much hope for the project's financing, he was happy to have found a kindred spirit. Using his sweaty hands to flip through the few pages of paper, he vaguely explained.
Xu Le scratched his head, thinking that this person's thinking was really sharp. It was just that his explanation was too poor. The more he listened, the more serious he became. After a while, he looked at Cheng Fengshi and said, "The School of Mechanics didn't allocate any funds?"
Cheng Fengshi used his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He smiled bitterly and said, "The miniaturization of turbochargers is indeed good for the instantaneous power output of certain small equipment, but the cost-performance ratio is too low. There's no commercial future. Not to mention the school, I've been looking for investments in society for two years, but I haven't found anyone willing to invest. "
Xu Le's eyes narrowed, then gradually brightened. Unlike Cheng Fengshi's worries, he quickly remembered that there was one area in the world that didn't care about cost-performance ratio. That was … high-end weapons used to kill people, such as mechas.
At this time, Li Xiaotong and the other guests were casually talking about calligraphy and painting. No one noticed that in the corner of the courtyard, Xu Le and this middle-aged man were seriously discussing mechanical matters.
"Do you need money?" Xu Le looked at the time. The little girl's afternoon nap should be ending soon, so he asked Cheng Fengshi.
Cheng Fengshi nodded honestly and helplessly. "It's a lot of money."
