There was a knock on the door. Bai Yulan walked out of the kitchen and yelled in the direction of the bedroom, "I'll open the door." She wiped the oil on her hands on her apron and walked to the living room to open the door. Seeing the armed military police outside, her expression didn't change at all.
When the Federation's combat troops had just entered the block and started to surround the apartment, she had already noticed it, so she wasn't surprised to see them when she opened the door. She just didn't expect that the leader was actually that young colonel.
Bai Yulan looked at Li Feng and said, "I didn't expect you to be involved in such a small matter like catching me."
Li Feng said indifferently, "Unless I did it myself, I really didn't have the confidence to catch the famous Seventh Group Old Bai. In fact, if you were involved in a first-order incident, the Bureau of Proclamation would have traced the location, then no one would have found out that you were the one who fired those shots. You did a great job."
Bai Yulan looked at the Federation's soldiers in the corridor who were holding their guns tightly. She slowly loosened the apron around her waist and calmly replied, "Don't be so nervous. I never thought of running away."
Li Feng slightly frowned and looked at her in confusion. Then, he glanced over her shoulder and saw a pregnant woman holding the wall and walking out of the bedroom. She had a big belly and looked very tired.
Bai Yulan heard the footsteps behind her and her eyebrows slightly twitched. Her arm that was holding the apron became a little stiff. Her eyes that were looking at Li Feng suddenly brightened.
Li Feng was silent for a moment and looked at the pregnant woman who was full of confusion. He said with a blank expression, "The government has a special mission. They need to recruit outstanding officers to re-enter the army. Your husband has to go for a period of special training."
Inside the dark green bulletproof military vehicle.
"How many months?" Li Feng asked.
Bai Yulan slightly lowered her eyes and looked at the cold shackles on her hands and feet. She softly replied, "Soon."
Li Feng slightly frowned and lit the cigarette between his lips. After a short pause, he also lit one for Bai Yulan. He shook his head and said, "I really don't understand why you still want to help him in this situation. Don't forget that he is from the Empire."
"I don't believe it." Bai Yulan calmly replied.
"I don't want to believe that he's from the Empire either."
Li Feng removed the cigarette from his lips and spat out of the car. "But this is the truth."
Bai Yulan was silent for a long time before replying with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
Li Feng's frown deepened.
Bai Yulan raised her handcuffed hands, removed the cigarette from her lips, and explained softly, "I joined the army when I was 15 years old. At that time, the old commander's unit was still called the 17th Division, not the 8384 Division. Later, I was transferred to Baishui City to do some assassination work for the government. After that, the 7th Division started to do some private work."
"What are you trying to say?" Li Feng asked expressionlessly.
"Everyone in the army knows that Group 7 has always been a mercenary army. I am a mercenary who only recognizes money." Bai Yulan calmly said, "Little Boss gave me more than 20 million. This amount of money … is enough for me to sell my life several times over."
Li Feng naturally wouldn't accept this explanation. But as someone who also grew up in the army, he didn't need to explain. He could roughly understand why Bai Yulan made this choice.
The dark green bulletproof military vehicle fell into silence. Bai Yulan turned her head and looked out of the window. She looked at the fluttering snowflakes outside the building of the Four States Foundation with no expression on her face.
At that time, he was responsible for long-range sniping and assisting Xu Le, but he left at the most critical moment. Now, he was far away from those years of fighting. His wife was pregnant, but he pulled the trigger at the most critical moment for Xu Le. The gunshot rang out again after a few years. It was the same gunshot from that year.
…
…
The warm restaurant of the small building, the light blue coastal style dining table, and the beautiful girl in the light blue dress created a warm and comfortable feeling. In this warmth, Xu Le lowered his head and quickly ate plate after plate of food. Lulu watched with a smile on her face. The two of them occasionally talked, and then returned to silence. It was a feeling of home.
The difficult escape and battle made Xu Le's stomach very hungry. The taste of mashed potatoes mixed with synthetic fat and green bean paste was actually not very good. But at this time, there was no time for it to swirl around on his taste buds.
Lulu was a river-like person. She was very beautiful and young, but she had been in a certain industry for many years.
In the autumn of the 66th year of the Constitutional Era, she once saw a male student sleeping soundly on a bench in a certain brothel in Linhai Prefecture. She once bent her fair and tender legs, painted her nails red, and painted the male student's face red. They gathered together and played cards together, and then she laughed without the slightest restraint.
A few years later, that male student became a famous war hero of the Federation. Lulu, on the other hand, was still working in this industry. It was just that the location of her work had changed to the Sunset Region of the West Forest Region. In that luxurious nightclub, she bravely sat beside the war hero. After that, she had a night of memories of Moso teasing, fighting, getting drunk, vomiting, and promises.
After that night, the war hero sent her back to the capital ring and asked a friend with an amazing family to take care of her. From then on, although Sister Lulu was still in this industry, she no longer had to serve anyone. She began to manage several high-class nightclubs and managed thousands of young and beautiful girls. She became a real sister.
When she saw him again today, he was no longer the poor student and war hero of the past, but an imperial spy who was being hunted down by the Federation.
"I thought you were already married and had children. I didn't expect to see you again." Xu Le looked up at her and said with a smile, "It seems asking Li Xiaotong to take care of you was a mistake."
Lulu's eyes moved as she looked at him quietly and said softly, "A person like me who hasn't studied much is used to this industry. I really don't know what else to do. Li Qishao is a good person. Although I know he did it because of you, in the end, he helped me too much."
The phone on the table rang. Lulu picked it up and listened to a few words. Her brows slightly furrowed, and she walked to the window and whispered something. One could faintly see that her left hand, which was hanging by the side of her blue dress, was somewhat stiff.
Xu Le at the table was still eating the last plate of food and didn't notice this.
After hanging up the phone, she slowly clenched her fists and suddenly turned around. Looking at Xu Le, she said with a trembling voice, "Let's go."
It was a very simple action and a sentence, but who knew how much courage it took. Even though she knew what kind of tragic consequences this decision would bring, the resolute expression on Lulu's face showed that she did not experience too much of a complicated psychological struggle before she did it.
Xu Le understood what had happened. It seemed that he couldn't wait for his boat tonight. He wasn't disappointed or angry about Li Xiaotong's betrayal, but he was somewhat tired. He looked at Lulu and said bitterly, "I'm really from the empire."
"I'm a prostitute, but from the beginning until now, you haven't looked down on me, so don't feel like you owe me anything."
Lulu squeezed out a smile, took the coat from the hanger, and walked to him. She put it on for him and said with a trembling voice, "If we're talking about owing, you still owe me one night."
After saying this, she hugged Xu Le tightly and offered her hot red lips to him. Her lips and tongue trembled because of fear, passionately asked for his lips. She kissed him with tears flowing down her cheeks.
The hot lips and tongue separated. Xu Le quietly looked at the girl. She took a pen and paper from the table and scribbled a few words. She whispered a few words and then left silently.
…
…
The flashing police lights made the snowflakes on the street look strange. The snowflakes fell on the light-colored table through the window, like a modern abstract painting that no one could understand. The fully armed special forces of the Federation carefully searched the small building from inside to outside several times. Except for a few bloody footprints at the back door, they found nothing.
In a room on the second floor, a secretary of the Li family looked at Lulu with a gloomy expression and said in a cold voice, "Miss Lulu, you have been in the entertainment industry for many years, so there should be no problem in acting. Everyone knows that the empire people value old friendships very much, so I don't understand why you can't just stall him for two minutes."
Lulu's hands tightly grasped the hem of her dress, but she didn't know where to look outside the window. After a long silence, she said, "I don't want to act, and you probably don't understand, I am also a person who values old friendships very much."
The secretary of the Li family pointed at her face and humiliated her in a harsh voice, "You are just a prostitute!"
Sister Lulu slowly turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly, "Even if I am a prostitute, there are some things that I don't want to sell."
"That's a good sentence. It makes me feel ashamed."
Li Xiaotong opened the door and walked in. He silently looked at the woman on the bed and said, "But you should know very well what kind of price you have to pay."
"I have mentally prepared to die, but someone told me that I must not die."
Lulu stood up from the bed and handed a note to Li Xiaotong.
Li Xiaotong recognized the scribbled handwriting, and his eyes slightly narrowed. He saw a few words written on the note.
"I still ask you to continue to protect her, at least until my death is confirmed, otherwise my madness will frighten the entire Federation. As the heir of the Li family, you can see this as a fund bet, and I suggest you bet that I can survive. "
Li Xiaotong looked at the note and slightly frowned. After a moment, he laughed self-deprecatingly, took out a lighter and burned the note to ashes. Then he calmly said to Lulu, "Pack up and come with me."
The note had been burned, but the words on it had been left in the depths of his heart. He knew that Xu Le was a man of his words, so as the note said, if he didn't want to see a crazy doomsday scene, he must protect Lulu's safety until it was confirmed that Xu Le or he died.
In a secluded street in the southern part of the capital.
A slanted stone path extended to the entrance of a department store. Xu Le silently looked at that place, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked up. His mood was no longer irritable, bewildered, and confused, but unusually calm. Now he was very clear that he couldn't die, and had to live as vigorously as before.
