Shi Qinghai was a very strange person. He didn't want to pry into other people's secrets, but he couldn't help but be curious. Maybe it was because of his stubbornness or the nature of his job. Well, since people like to hear about adventures, Xu Le had no choice but to fabricate a completely new adventure. Otherwise, he really couldn't explain how he was able to defeat an expert from the army at the entrance of the nightclub. Thinking about this, Xu Le had a headache. He realized that he still didn't have much experience in dealing with people. In order to explain something, he always had to tell more lies. Moreover, he also thought of a very troublesome problem, and that was the identity that the boss uncle arranged for him. Should he find some time to go to his hometown in the remote area of S1? The new adventure story was similar to the one he told to the fat guy on the Ancient Bell, but this time, Xu Le was more cautious. He arranged for the fake class monitor to be a hidden master with a vague face.
"What's the class monitor's surname?" Shi Qinghai obviously didn't believe him. He laughed and asked.
Xu Le's heart skipped a beat. A surname appeared in his mind and he said, "I think his surname is … Li?"
Shi Qinghai didn't seem to care, but he seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and fell into deep thought. Shi Qinghai thought about this family name in his heart and did not dare to think in that direction. However, if what Xu Le said was true, it could explain everything. However, Shi Qinghai had not heard of any children of that family in Feicheng City wandering outside … Shi Qinghai looked at Xu Le's back and shook his head. He somewhat believed in Xu Le's bizarre experience. He smiled and thought to himself, "I'm afraid this kid doesn't even know the background of the awesome person who taught him how to fight."
Since he had a confirmed idea, satisfied his curiosity, and had some interesting things to think about, Shi Qinghai naturally changed the topic. "Are you going to be a janitor in Ewha University? The Department of National Defense's Office of Retired Soldiers can arrange a job. It's better than this. " In his opinion, Xu Le, this young man, had a very outstanding character. Although he did not know what special skills he had in other aspects, with his fighting skills, it was not impossible for him to enter the security company under the police station, or even find some connections to enter the police system.
"I'm an auditor at Ewha University." Xu Le turned around, looked at him and said, "Anyway, I still have some spare money. Let's talk about it after I finish attending the classes for the next two years."
"Auditing students can't get a diploma." Shi Qinghai fished out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his trousers pocket. He put one in his mouth and threw the other one at him. He said vaguely, "You don't have a future. Do you know what you want to do in the future?"
Xu Le took the cigarette and lighter and lit it up. He took a deep breath and tried to puff out a few perfect smoke rings, just like how the boss used to do in the past. However, what he puffed out was the scattered steam from the humidifier. He coughed twice, looked at Shi Qinghai, and smiled. He thought to himself, This guy obviously doesn't know what he wants to do in the future, so why is he asking me?
"I used to want to be a battleship mechanic assistant, but … I changed my mind. I want to get a mechanic's license, and then find a job in a big manufacturing company in S1. No matter what position I get in the future, as long as I can do something I like, it's not bad." Xu Le looked at the dissipating smoke in front of him and said in a daze. This was one of his life goals, but when it came out of his mouth, it sounded ridiculous and unconfident. Ever since he was implanted with the disguise chip, perhaps his life was destined to not be so happy and peaceful. There was always a shadow in the young man's heart, a shadow that he did not want others to see. He wanted to find the real inside story of that incident, but with his current status and ability, not to mention uncovering the inside story of that uncle's death, even getting close to that black cloth was wishful thinking.
Shi Qinghai saw the heaviness and sadness in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Do your best to fulfill your life goals. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
…
…
The development of the situation was not out of Shi Qinghai's expectations. At around seven o 'clock in the morning, the Lin Hai police headquarters received a direct order from the higher-ups to open the door of the detention center and release the two of them. The police officers who were drinking coffee to refresh themselves joked with Shi Qinghai, and Shi Qinghai scolded them back. During this kind of conversation, Xu Le, who was quietly listening on the side, roughly understood what was going on.
The Zou family used their connections to forcefully suppress the conflict in front of the nightclub. The people of the Third Military Region had a conflict with the people of the Lin Hai field office, and they even pulled out guns. If this incident was used by someone with bad intentions, it would definitely involve the big boss in the Ministry of National Defense. The Zou family would not let this happen, so they would rather deal with it in a low-key manner. Xu Le walked out of the police station. Facing the slightly cold morning breeze, he couldn't help but shake his head. The so-called democratic and free Federation society was actually still so hierarchical. A Zou family that wasn't very famous among the people could reach into the police system and suppress a vicious case, causing the shooting at the entrance of Thirteen to go up in smoke.
Shi Qinghai drove Xu Le to the back gate of Ewha University. He leaned against the car and looked at the few female students who were exercising in the morning. He stared at their tight-fitting sportswear and said in a very serious tone, "For the next few days, don't leave the school gate. Be careful."
The Zou family officially suppressed this incident. However, they were ruthlessly humiliated by two small fry. How could a young master and a young lady from such a family take this lying down? What followed closely was probably the other party's secret and merciless revenge. Shi Qinghai looked at him with some worry and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Even if I get expelled, I'm still an outstanding student from the same school. Those frighteningly high ranking professors in the school can always protect me."
"I don't know why you had a conflict with that pair of siblings." When Xu Le was about to walk through the iron gate, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and said seriously, "Maybe you have your own motives, but that pair of siblings really aren't playthings. So I'll let it go this time. Don't do it again."
Shi Qinghai held the cigarette in his mouth and tilted it down, like a leaf that had been hit by frost. His expression was calm, but his heart was somewhat moved. He thought to himself that his little brother's eyes were indeed sharp. He couldn't hide it from him.
…
…
The spring of the 66th year of the Constitutional Era was hotter than the previous years. It was only the end of April, but it made people feel like the scorching summer was coming early. The integrated air conditioning system inside the buildings in Linhai had already been turned on, providing a wonderful cool air to those busy working. However, in the slightly hot twilight, on the rooftop of the tallest building in Linhai, two people were talking without fear of the high temperature or the heat. One of them was about 40 years old, with a serious face and a trace of majesty in his gentle eyes. The other person was sour and had a trace of residual alcohol smell. His wrinkled suit was even more annoying than the wrinkled cigarette in his mouth.
"The 005 series of electronic spy satellites from A to Z are constantly moving in the space 588 kilometers above our heads … Don't you think it's a bit stupid to always let me meet you in this place? The rooftop is indeed high. It's a 40-story building, so I'm not afraid of people seeing my face with binoculars. But the problem is, do you know how hot it is here? How cold is the winter? You don't allow me to take the elevator. How tiring is it to climb up the stairs? And how uncreative is this kind of meeting place? "Shi Qinghai looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said angrily.
The eyes of the middle-aged man in his forties did not shift in the slightest as he coldly stared at Shi Qinghai's face. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, "For the past two years, you have never complained. Now that you know you did something wrong, you want to seize the initiative to gain the psychological advantage? Give up this idea. Don't forget that I taught you psychology. "
Shi Qinghai laughed at himself. He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff. Looking back at the city at dusk, he felt that the city was becoming more and more like a monster. If he didn't escape, he was afraid that one day he would be eaten.
"What happened last night?" The middle-aged man asked sternly, "Do you know how many connections the organization used to keep your position in the Investigation Bureau? And they couldn't let others know. The cost was 60% more than the budget! "
The cigarette in Shi Qinghai's mouth trembled slightly. He didn't turn around. When he heard that he wasn't fired, there was a trace of sadness and disappointment in his charming eyes. When he turned around, the emotions in his eyes were all gone. He said calmly, "The Zou family and the Crown Prince used to have a good relationship. They came to Lin Hai this time to see the Crown Prince. Since my goal was to prevent the Ministry of National Defense from establishing a good relationship with the Crown Prince, last night's action was naturally for this purpose. So don't blame me."
The supreme leader of the Federation was the president. The passage of relevant budget bills was handled by more than 300 members of the Management Committee, and the adjudication of cases was handled by the court system. The imperial system that appeared occasionally in the long history of the Federation had ended 37 constitutional years ago. Of course, there was no emperor in this society. Of course, there was no such thing as a Crown Prince. The Crown Prince that Shi Qinghai and the middle-aged man were talking about was obviously a code name. Of course, they couldn't be talking about the Crown Prince of the empire. It was said that the current emperor of the distant Interstellar Empire only had one daughter. But … what kind of person could make the Zou family travel thousands of miles to Lin Hai just to see him? What kind of person could be called the Crown Prince by Shi Qinghai?
The middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a moment. He seemed to accept Shi Qinghai's explanation. Suddenly, he said, "Who is that guy called Xu Le? What's your purpose for getting close to him? Do you need to put it on record? "
Shi Qinghai frowned slightly and spat out the cigarette in his mouth. The red butt of the cigarette splashed out sparks on the ground. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man. He said seriously, "That's my personal friend. I'm warning you."
Shi Qinghai's warning seemed to have worked. The middle-aged man didn't continue to ask this question, but his tone became very strict. "Many years ago, when you were willing to join this great cause, you had already made a promise. You don't have the right to have friends, and you can't have friends!"
"At that time, I didn't understand friendship." Shi Qinghai didn't care about him and answered indifferently. The middle-aged man looked at him quietly. Suddenly, he asked, "When you opened fire last night, did you want to quit the Federation Investigation Bureau? I know you've been working hard these past few years, and you've been passively resisting the orders of the organization for the past two years. But don't forget, the future of the Federation requires you young people to fight and work hard for it. "
Shi Qinghai was silent for a long time. Then, he said in a low voice, "Yes, Director."
