"I heard that two police officers were killed in today's parade."
"That has nothing to do with us."
"I heard that the Capital Daily building was burnt to a crisp because a plate-maker was smoking in the underground workshop."
"That still has nothing to do with us."
The official flipped the badge between his fingers and very rudely refused Bederman's attempt to chat. Although the young former technical genius of the Bureau of Proclamation played a very important role in the team, the official couldn't help but feel disgusted by the habits of these so-called geniuses whenever he thought that the combat genius was looking at him indifferently in the underground tunnel.
The pattern on the badge was a squinting eye.
This small troop specially established by the government was gradually perfecting its structure with special uniforms and equipment. The cooperation between the members was getting better and better, and their work was getting smoother and smoother. They were getting closer and closer to their ultimate goal.
But what frustrated everyone in the small eyes troop was that although they were infinitely close to the goal and had even lured the enemy out of the underground tunnel and trapped him under the wall, the enemy still managed to escape in the end. It seemed that the target was right in front of them, but they didn't know where his real body was hidden in the city.
"Don't be too frustrated, and don't be too nervous." Smoking a cigarette, Bederman looked at his colleagues in the room and laughed exaggeratedly. He waved his hand and said, "This independent area has been specially set up by me. Together with those backdoors, the Federal Central Computer doesn't know what we are doing at all. Then, that Colonel Xu Le naturally doesn't know either."
The official ignored him and waved his hand to summon all the members of the small eyes troop around the wide hologram table. His fingers quickly flipped through the electronic pattern and said in a deep voice, "For the next plan, the Strategic Research Division of the Investigation Bureau has given some new suggestions."
"What suggestions?"
The tone of the question was very calm. The members of the small eyes troop in this building, who came from various powerful agencies of the Federation government, seemed to have a certain trait in common: the indifference and lethargy unique to technical personnel.
The psychology professor took over the topic of the official and pointed at the picture on the table. "This is the archive of the investigation of the Federation Investigation Bureau a few years ago. It is a high-resolution satellite image of the traces left by Colonel Xu Le after he smoked and thought in Charter Square before he made up his mind to assassinate Senator Medellin.
"From the arrangement of these cigarette butts, we can confirm that he is a very orderly person."
Bederman continued his sarcastic remarks. Looking at the picture of the plum blossom-shaped cigarette butts in the snow, he said sarcastically, "Perhaps this only shows that our Federation hero is an artistic youth at heart."
Like all his colleagues, the professor of psychology had long learned to automatically filter the voice of this young technical genius. He continued, "According to the peripheral interview, Colonel Xu Le has a small habit after smoking, and that is, he will carefully crush the cigarette butt and only stop when he is sure that there is no spark. Also … except for the mental struggle between the battlefield and the last time he tried to assassinate Senator Macklin, he will throw every cigarette butt into the non-recyclable bin."
Bederman said in a slightly shrill voice, "What can this prove? Is he a person who keeps order and is extremely cautious? Think about it with your pig brain. Is a colonel of the federation full of masculine hormones who assassinated a senator with outstanding military exploits the kind of person you think he is? "
…
…
"In the past, I have always thought that you have a very outstanding strength, and that is that you can always be exceptionally calm and cautious in all kinds of battles. So, I really did not expect that you would be crazy enough to choose this place to meet me."
Zou Yu did not draw her eyebrows today, but her eyebrows were still as beautiful as a painting. She slowly cut the premium steak in front of her, her eyes slightly lowered, but it seemed that she was carefully observing the friend across the table who she had not seen for a long time.
However, she did not have much appetite. Her red fingers, which were painted with cardamom, put down the silver knife and fork and held the glass of red wine by the thin glass neck. She raised the glass and drank the wine in one gulp, frowning somewhat painfully.
"A very important elder to me once said some last words to me before he died. Although he seems to be alive and well now, I have never forgotten these last words."
Xu Le chewed the really delicious and juicy beef in big mouthfuls. He lowered his head and replied vaguely, "He said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but it is best not to try it more than three times. I have been on the run for so many years, and I have never practiced this teaching, but you know the recent situation. If I don't try this method now, I may never have the chance to try it again. "
Zou Yu looked at him quietly, without showing any concern or worry, because concern and worry did not need to be expressed with eyebrows. She dabbed the corner of her mouth with an exquisite napkin with the three ancient letters LFP written on it and said, "So you chose to meet here."
"Mr. President and the government must be the most vigilant now that I have joined hands with those big families. This is the Liufeng Slope Club, which is close to the Charter Square and the official residence. Naturally, it is the most dangerous place."
Xu Le finished the steak in front of him and drank half a glass of water with satisfaction. He explained, "In the field that I am not very good at, I am used to respecting the opinions of experts. The elder you just mentioned must be the best escape expert in this universe."
Zou Yu shrugged and noticed his eating speed. She said, "It seems that you have not had a chance to eat anything good while hiding in the underground tunnel."
"I like steak. I liked it very much when I was in Donglin." Xu Le took another sip of water.
Zou Yu suddenly asked, "About that proposal, what is your answer?"
"Since Madam asked for my opinion through you, then you should reject her and the other families for me."
Xu Le replied, "This has nothing to do with moral cleanliness. It's just that our goals are not the same to begin with. I don't want to see the scene after dealing with Macklin, where I was stabbed in the back by my companions just as I saw the glimmer of victory."
Speaking of this, he remembered the magnolia that disappeared outside the Huanshan Four States Foundation building, and the knife that he stabbed Lao Bai in the back.
"The end of a lone hero is always death. The war between a person and a government can never be won. Even if you don't believe in Mochou and those families, I suggest that you can use some of their power."
Zou Yu calmly gave her advice as before.
"I understand. I don't want them to participate in my plan because it is very dangerous for me, but I need them to provide me with something," Xu Le said.
"You don't want them to be partners, but only a logistics base?" Zou Yu smiled sweetly and looked at her good friend. "I think those big families will be very angry because their dignity has been damaged."
"I have my own way to get weapons. In fact, what I need Madam to do is very simple. I heard that the number two of the Central Committee of Green Dragon Mountain is coming to the capital special district for a visit. I hope that she can arrange for this big shot to give a speech in the parliament."
"What do you want to do?" Zou Yu looked at him warily.
"You come from a military family, so you should know that the battle plan cannot be exposed," Xu Le said.
Zou Yu was silent for a long time and said, "You have to be careful."
"Yes." Xu Le looked at the Guna porcelain plate in front of him with traces of blood. He thought of the fierce argument with the old thing in the underground sewers, and how the old thing still agreed to his request in the end. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zou Yu. He frowned and asked, "Is it possible … to get me an MXT?"
Zou Yu looked at him and said mockingly, "That cheap father-in-law of yours has already been sent to S3. Even if he is still the Minister of Defense, I can't get you an MXT. I don't know what you did that night, but all of the Federation's troops increased their combat readiness and surveillance. It's impossible to get you a mecha without anyone noticing. "
Xu Le frowned. He silently thought about which direction the Shell Motor Company's door was facing.
…

In the building that was vaguely independent of the comprehensive monitoring of the charter, the small eyes unit was still in a high-intensity discussion. Other than the combat team led by the Philadelphia close combat expert, all of the staff of this special unit had to be trapped in the building for a long time and could not go out. This special environment indirectly squeezed these technical officers to think of one strange trap after another.
"Colonel Xu Le is a very difficult person to deal with."
The psychology professor came to the final conclusion. "With his combat experience, special charter authority, and the calm and careful nature of an engineer, it is very difficult to use conventional methods to catch or kill him. The results of the previous few operations have proven this point."
"Go straight to the conclusion." The high ranking official brought up another image on the table. He looked coldly at the people in the room and said, "We have to anger him and force him into the mental environment that he had before he assassinated Senator Macklin. Only then can we set up a perfect trap and kill him."
"According to the confidential information we have, the spy from Green Dragon Mountain that Colonel Xu Le tried to avenge was actually killed by both the government and Green Dragon Mountain. And we believe that Colonel Xu Le himself has also found out this."
The official pointed to the old man in the image and said, "His name is Jin Qiude, the second most important person in the Central Committee of Green Dragon Mountain. Since the death of that legendary figure, he has been the nominal leader of the intelligence system of the anti-government army. In a few days, this person will visit the capital special district."
"If Xu Le wants to kill this person, this is the best opportunity, and this will also be our best opportunity."
Bederman raised his hand to raise an objection. He said, "If I remember correctly, Colonel Xu Le has been hiding in the underground water for many days and has not taken any action. If he can still hold back this time, what will you do? How will you anger him? "
"We still have the second bait." The official pulled up another image and pointed to the colonel wearing the windbreaker of the Fourth Military Region. He said, "His name is Colonel Lake, and he was arrested for the Ancient Bell Incident. The Federation Military Court will acquit him later."
The official raised his head and looked at the people in the room. He said in a cold voice, "When Colonel Lake walks out of the court, Xu Le will definitely try to kill him. Do you understand?"
"If …"
Bederman still wanted to argue. In his opinion, no matter how powerful a person was, facing the pursuit of the entire Federation, it was impossible for him to expose his whereabouts for these so-called baits, because it was obviously courting death.
The official directly interrupted his question and said, "If he can control his anger like this, then he is not the Colonel Xu Le that we desperately want to kill."
…
…
Liufeng Slope Club.
Zou Yu looked at the small half cup of water in Xu Le's hand and frowned slightly. She said, "The Military Court is about to start the trial of Colonel Lake's rebellion. I think you should be mentally prepared for the result."
"Yes." Xu Le drank the remaining water in the cup and said, "If the court acquits him, then I will kill him before he walks out of the court."
