The amber spirit was still on the table top. Grape fermentation distillation mixed with years of time in the cellar. Gradually seep into the half-empty ground cup. Drill into people's noses. Although it is not as clear as the oak barrel outside the tavern, the dilution is clear. But it seems to have vitality. It's infectious.

Hong Kong is a city of pleasure. These days are the summer fire holidays in federal law. So it's still noon though. There were already several tables of guests sitting in the dimly lit tavern. Sitting at the bar, Xu Le was not conspicuous. He stared blankly at the wine in his glass. Thinking about how my emotions have changed from last night to today. There was some silence for a while.

Magnolia is back alone. Sit beside him. Silently began to sip on the glass of orange juice that was about to bottom. Ice cubes roll in orange juice beneath the fancy straw. It's cute.

The drinker didn't come back. Xu Le guessed what was going on. I didn't expect Secretary Bai to take the initiative to do things for himself so consciously. It is also associated with the tea in the luxury soft sleeper box. Those who make the beds work on top of each other. He was a little confused for a moment. Twenty million is indeed a lot of money. But to buy such an almost omnipotent showy man to serve. It doesn't seem to be a loss.

For a moment he forgot. Li Xiaotong spent 30 million yuan to invest in him. It's already a lot of energy. Invest with great gambling. Like this, he casually gave Magnolia 20 million. The implication is a little stronger.

Xu Le glanced at Magnolia.

Magnolia lowered her voice. No rush, no urgency. Slowly whispered, "I don't do anything illegal. The man fainted. ”

Xu Le smiled bitterly. It's not because Magnolia is on its own. It's because since someone is staring at you. It shows that the subway is a profiteer. It wasn't because of Secretary Shen's phone call. and the transfer of data. and forgot himself. It's a lot of trouble. Even if you stay for a while, you can quietly enter the Fruit Shell Engineering Department. But this matter cannot always be hidden from many people in the Federation.

Cute gurgling sounds coming out of the straw. Magnolia smiled and asked the bartender for another drink.

Xu Le did look a little excessive. It's even wishful thinking. But now that he has decided. Help the engineering department develop the MX mech as quickly as possible. There is always something he needs so badly.

He was waiting for Secretary Shen to make a final decision. A federal military mech is a must-have for him. And before tonight. He had to enter the heavily guarded engineering department.

The waiting process is a bit boring. Xu Le turned his head sideways and looked at Magnolia's delicate eyebrows with great interest. Suddenly, he asked, "I remember you saying that you like to enjoy yourself." There are a few bottles of Wenjun No. 3 hidden in the house. ”

Joon Brandi. It is one of the most famous spirits in the Federation. It is produced in the hilly area of Ganzhou, S3 region. Named after the drinker-friendly scientist in the group of five. The brand is authorized and protected by the Federal HTD Agency. Among them, No. 3 is a treasure that has been cellared for more than 30 years. Soft on the palate. The fragrance is mellow. The price is surprisingly expensive.

"Brandi likes to drink apple-flavored lands. Magnolia squinted her eyes. Looking at the glass of orange juice in his hand. "Truly the best." Or cold land compound ale wine. It is relatively clean to drink. ”

Xu Le thought to himself if Shi Qinghai was here. I have a lot in common with this delicate man. It is said that Shi Qinghai has a pair of peach blossom eyes. Facial features are handsome. But it's full of men's taste. Secretary Bai's facial features are not charming. It's just quiet and supple. It's really feminine.

"Why don't you have a cup?" Xu Le raised the tulip cup in his hand.

"It tastes good." It's real sake. ”

"Working hours. I never drink. Magnolia replied softly. The eyes drooped slightly. The afterglow drifted by. Noticing that in the shadows at the entrance to the tavern, the drinker seemed to have noticed something unusual. The speed of turning the square cup in his hand is a little faster than before.

It's the small details that reveal people's true emotions. Turn the wine glass ground speed. It often represents the degree of anxiety in the person's heart.

"How long will we have to wait?" asked Magnolia softly.

Xu Le looked at the quiet mobile phone on the table. After a moment of silence, he shook his head. If Secretary Shen doesn't call anymore. Things will go the other way.

Magnolia glanced at the side of his face. Looking at the ordinary face of this young technical director. Say nothing more. Previously met privately in the restaurant. Those words are only revealing information. It has made Magnolia understand a lot of things. Although until this time. Xu Le still didn't say anything to him. But he knows it

20 million federal coins are really hard to earn.

It seems that the matter involves the development of a new generation of MX mechs in the Federation. Magnolia is the Ground Plains Battle Supervisor of Team 7 of the WhiteWater Company. Last fall, he personally participated in the ground-secret experiment in the Bermuda Delta star field. Of course you know what that means.

Magnolia glanced at Xu Ledi's side face again unobtrusively. I thought it was really a big game this time. He has taken over private work in his life. It doesn't add up to that big.

But this handsome man. He has always been a very professional person. Since he accepted the huge sum of 20 million. He will definitely do this private work. So he kills people in the alleys. Use this brutal gore to temporarily intimidate those who are following Xu Ledi.

Magnolia only has to do things. It will not be explained to Xu Le.

As the most elite professional soldier in the Federation. But he left the army for many years. Regularly carry out the government's shady tasks. He doesn't have much of a sense of good and evil. As for the brilliance of the First Charter of the Federal Land. He also has enough knowledge and a small way to hide from Haiti. Accuracy and density of the federal electronic monitoring network. Few people know better than federal mercenaries like them.

This handsome man doesn't do anything illegal for money. But if there is enough money. Kill for Xu Le. It's as natural as serving tea and handing rice to Xu Le.

The phone finally rang again. And not loudly sounded. Pulled Xu Le and Magnolia out of their respective thoughts. Xu Le picked up the phone and listened to a few words. The expression gradually calmed down. There was a smile in his eyes that squinted slightly. But that smile is a habit. Rather than rejoicing from the heart.

"Let's go. ”

He pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and placed it on the table. Said hello with a smile to the bartender. Xu Le stood up.

Seeing that the target has the meaning of leaving the ground. In the shadows at the door of the tavern, the one pretended to be drunk. I didn't know what to do for a while. His companion followed the woman-like man to the back alley. But the goal is back. But the companion did not return. A strong warning sign appeared in his heart. But he couldn't give up tracking.

Xu Le walked towards the door. Magnolia dragged half a step back as before. Leaned a little to the left. When I go out of the tavern door. will pass by the drunken drunkard. In that moment. Magnolia prepared three techniques. You can make this person lie on the table forever. You can no longer track yourself. And it doesn't go unnoticed.

However, just as Magnolia's fingers danced lightly between his sleeves. Xu Le took a step to the left. As I walked past the drunken man who was stalking behind him. It's like a step that hasn't been steady. The left hand gently stroked the man's back.

The drinker's body twitched slightly. He collapsed limply on the table. There is no need for camouflage at this point. Unconscious him. Turned into a real drunk man.

Xu Le and Magnolia didn't stop for a moment. Walked straight out of the tavern. Walking behind, Magnolia slowly raised her head. Pupils are miniaturized. Emotionally complex, he glanced at Xu Ledi's back.

The moment before. Magnolia's eyes were extremely keen. Xu Le's hand touched the back of the drinker for a moment. A faint blue arc of lightning came out of Xu Ledi's sleeve.

Like a lightning snake.

In addition to the military special forces equipped with high-intensity stun batons. There is no single kind of melee weapon. It is possible to stun a person silently. And there is not the slightest smell of burnt in the air. There was no tear in the back of the drinker's clothes.

Magnolia looked at Xu Le with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I was thinking. This young tech executive who worked hard for himself. It seems that the background is really unusual. On the other hand, it is a little depressed. I knew that Xu Ledi had this kind of good thing in his hands. The man in the back alley didn't have to die.

Follow the instructions of the man on the phone. After Xu Le and Magnolia left the seventeenth pier. Rented a car. Drive directly towards the Bollinger district of the port city. Then a small boat was rented at the stone bridge on the riverside. Along the way through the lower half of the port city, let the lake and stream head downstream. When you are about to arrive at the waters of Lake Sang. Abandon ship and go ashore.

Magnolia carried the heavy black box. has been following behind Xu Le. Suddenly, he asked, "Is the other party credible?"

"I know the guy on the phone. Xu Le replied.

Next to a retro-style corniced building. The two of them finally met the person who had come to pick them up. Xu Le looked at the big man in a black suit. Hang up. smiled and said, "Cooperate again." ”

Xue Naiyin, the director of the Black Eagle Company, said with a wry smile: "Shen Dami's former direct boss was my local boss. I happen to be in Hong Kong again today. I don't do that. Who's going to do it?"

Half a year ago in Linhai Prefecture. It was this retired soldier with three helicopters. Rescued Xu Le and Shi Qinghai from the pursuit of the Federation.

"I want land for long-term permissions. Xu Le looked at him. Said very seriously: "Before the election." Five months to go. I will come to Hong Kong a lot. It is too cumbersome to enter the temporary authority of the engineering department. ”

Xue Naiyin was silent for a moment and said, "This is too difficult. It's even more difficult than building a mech. You should be clear. We have some influence in the engineering department. But there is such a thing as Shell. It's not who can control it alone. ”

"I believe in you. Xu Le shook hands with him. Said very sincerely.

Magnolia has been silently following behind Xu Ledi. He had long recognized Xue Nai's identity as an Indi. After all, Black Hawk is also one of the three largest security companies in the Federation. He had fought alongside the Black Hawk Earthlings. Of course, I know Xue Naiyin, the Black Eagle Earth Cow.

Just listening to Xu Ledi's words. Magnolia suddenly lowered her head and smiled...... It's already starting to smell sly.

That's good. It's not easy to die.
