The middle-aged man covered his bleeding forehead and crawled out of the car in a daze. He stared blankly at the motorcade that was roaring away. Because he was too dizzy from the crash, his legs were weak as he stood on the road. He did not understand what had happened at all.
Although the white Duran limousine was not as powerful as the special military vehicle that Nutshell Mobility had spared no expense to build, it was still the result of the most advanced technology in the Federation. Its safety features were excellent. Therefore, although the body of the limousine was severely deformed and twisted like the fried dough of an S3, the middle-aged man and the driver were not in any life-threatening danger. They were only bruised and bleeding.
Fortunately, Jian Shui'er's motorcade had been traveling at an extremely slow speed. The relative speed at the time of the crash was definitely not more than 70 km/h.
The middle-aged man was a butler. This butler was a person with a very high status in the West Woods. He had never been to the capital ring and had never interacted with the other members of the Seven Great Families. In his opinion, his family was definitely a god-like existence in the West Woods.
He was used to relying on his family to be high and mighty. Previously, when he was brutally knocked over by the other party's military vehicle, he still could not recognize the fact until he crawled out of the limousine.
After a long time, the middle-aged man finally woke up with a trembling body. Looking at the motorcade that was long gone, he stamped his feet nervously, lifted the hem of his white suit, and carelessly wiped the blood on his forehead. With a sobbing voice, he called his young master.
"You idiot … didn't you reveal your identity?" A young man's calm voice with infinite pride came from the other end of the phone. "You can't even do such a small thing."
"They said they were on some military mission … but they could at least see the license plate of the limousine?" The middle-aged butler said with a bitter face. He could not understand this matter. The conspicuous Z on the white Duran limousine's license plate represented an extremely prominent family name in the West Woods. Why would a mere Federation star's motorcade dare to use such a barbaric and bloody method to stop him?
"You're saying that they know who you represent?" On the other end of the phone, the young man's voice became cruel and rude. He said gloomily, "A star came to the military, but those guys in the capital ring are so mysterious. Get your ass back here. Don't embarrass yourself. I'm preparing a welcome party in the hotel … I'll give you an explanation then. "
Standing next to the white Duran limousine that was in tatters and smoking, the middle-aged butler was about to kneel down. He said humbly, "Young master, a nobody like me doesn't need an explanation. I just can't let you be wronged....."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The bodyguards of the celebrity team seemed to be too tough, but in the blink of an eye, he calmed down. No matter how tough they were, they could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy when they met the people they served.
....
.
The white limousine caused a mess. Regardless of whether the person who signed the letter "Ziqi" was an admirer of Jian Shui'er, it at least confirmed one thing. Jian Shui'er's itinerary, which was arranged by the Department of Defense, had been seriously leaked the moment they set foot in the West Woods, or even before that.
Because of this, Xu Le was vigilant. He did not listen to the reports from his subordinates at the back. Instead, he directly ordered the entire motorcade to speed up. Before noon, according to the charter map, they passed through the ring highway of the capital of Sunset State and arrived at the Venus Hotel by the sea.
The name of the Venus Hotel was very cliché, but the extremely conspicuous sign at the front door of the hotel — the dazzling star of the Federal Army easily drove away all the cliché, leaving only a sense of awe and power — because this was the West Woods office of the Department of Defense of the Federation.
In the past few decades, the Venus Hotel was not only responsible for receiving countless high-ranking military officers who came to participate in the rotation war, but it also played a more important role. It was the guiding and coordinating organization between the Federation government and the local political forces of the West Woods region.
The motorcade drove into the open parking lot behind the Venus Hotel. Not far away, they could see the clear blue sea water and the silvery white beach through the palm trees. Although there weren't many girls playing in the water under the noon sun, hovercraft could be seen from time to time on the white waves of the sea.
The professional sound, lighting, and computer equipment needed for the concert did not need to be unloaded. The professional security equipment on the military vehicles were all transferred down and began to be deployed along the weak points of the hotel's defense. This was a military hotel. Logically speaking, it should be very safe, but Magnolia, who was in charge of the security measures, did not relax. Group 7 had the security authority issued by the Department of Defense, so the hotel's military security department could only watch as they tormented their own expensive facilities, unable to stop them.
Jian Shui'er was still wearing the casual sportswear with the hoodie. The wide brim of the hoodie covered her striking purple hair, and the loose-fitting clothes made the girl's body appear particularly petite. Xu Le wore sunglasses and walked beside her in silence along a pre-marked path. They walked into the hotel from the back door and prepared to take the direct elevator to the luxury suite on the top floor.
Amid countless crisp electronic beeps, everyone went through the Federation's electronic monitoring network's second-level identity verification process. Being in the West Woods, the identity check was obviously more stringent than the capital ring. Seven of the members of Group 7 were under the command of Gu Xifeng to set up the electronic security settings. At this time, there were not many people around Jian Shui'er, so it did not take too long.
Everything was going smoothly, but when they stood in the luxurious corridor and waited for the special elevator, an accident that no one expected happened.
The wooden door at the end of the corridor that looked unusually calm suddenly opened on both sides. Pleasant music and warm applause poured in with a whoosh!
…
…
The music suddenly started, and Xu Le quickly moved. Before anyone could react, he blocked Jian Shui'er behind him.
On his left, Magnolia, who had been lowering her head, also quickly put her right hand into her trouser pocket, ready to throw the beautiful military knife at any time.
The rest of the members of Group 7 reacted slower, but it still took them less than half a second to grab the weapons hidden in their clothes and travel bags.
"Welcome to the West Woods, Miss Jian Shui'er."
An emcee's enthusiastic and excited voice came from outside the door. Then the music stopped, and thunderous applause came from the hall at the end of the corridor. Dozens of men and women in luxurious clothes smiled and walked to both sides of the door, as if they were lining up to welcome something.
Sister Tong's face was gloomy. She stared at the reception officer of the Gold Star Hotel and asked, "What's going on?"
Jian Shui'er had originally come to the West Woods secretly. The venue of the victory concert was far away on the terrifying planet at the front line, so the route and itinerary should have been kept a secret. However, she was discovered as soon as she left the military base. At this moment, they had been preparing to quietly go upstairs to rest, but someone had found out in advance and prepared a welcome reception in advance!
If the reception officer of the Gold Star Hotel had not leaked the secret, how could the host of the reception have calculated the time so accurately? No wonder Sister Tong's eyes were murderous at this moment.
"Hello, Miss Jian Shui'er. Today's reception is specially organized for you by our friends in the West Woods. I hope you can do us the honor."
At this moment, a young man, accompanied by a few elders, walked through the door and came in front of everyone.
The young man's face was handsome, but his slightly large nose was a little dazzling.
He was wearing an expensive, custom-made garment from the Gu Clothing Store in Hong Kong. He looked very refreshing. When he saw Jian Shui 'er surrounded by the crowd, Jian Shui' er was wearing a hat and sportswear. She kept her head down and didn't say anything. He couldn't see anything at all. The greed and amazement in his eyes gushed out and couldn't be concealed.
In fact, this young man, who had come from Wei Er, did not care to hide the greed in his eyes at all, because he had this privilege in the West Woods.
The few older men beside this young master introduced themselves. One of them was actually the governor of the Sunset Region, and the other was the vice chairman of the West Forest Region's management committee. They were all very important people.
…
…
The young man smiled and walked in front of everyone. He did not think that Jian Shui'er would reject his invitation at all, because the reception had already started and countless guests were waiting, and the people who came with him were all big shots in the West Woods political circle. Whether it was in terms of appearance or ostentation, Jian Shui'er … even if she was the most popular national girl in the universe, she could not just leave under such circumstances.
So he gently reached out and wanted to shake Jian Shui'er's hand in a very gentlemanly manner. It would be best if he could give her a West Woods style kiss on the hand.
However, his hand was gently pushed away indifferently.
Xu Le glanced at Jian Shui'er and saw her slightly shake her head imperceptibly. He did not pay any attention to the young man who was approaching him and directly said to the reception officer of the Gold Star Hotel, "I think you need to explain to the Department of Defense."
Then he very naturally pushed away the hand that came out of nowhere and was reaching for his blind date.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Jian Shui'er is tired. She won't be joining the reception," Xu Le looked at the people in front of him and said politely.
He said it matter-of-factly, and the expressions of the big shots in the West Woods also changed, especially the young man. His smile became cold as he looked at Xu Le and said, "Who are you to make decisions for Miss Jian Shui'er?"
"I'm the head of security … and I'm on a military mission."
The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, as if he had heard something very interesting. Then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly, "Do you know who I am? In the West Woods, someone actually dares to use a military mission to scare me? "
Behind him, the Sunset Governor and the deputy speaker were expressionless, but their eyes revealed the same mockery. They thought to themselves, who in Cillin's territory doesn't know that this young man's family represents the Federation's army?
"Who is he?"
Xu Le was startled and turned around to ask Sister Tong. He really did not know the identity of this young man.
Sister Tong shook her head.
Everyone accompanying them shook their heads, and Lan Xiaolong even shrugged to express his confusion.
Only Bai Yulan leaned over to Xu Le's ear and whispered a few words.
