A low-key and valuable black car, like a black ghost, silently walked on the highway on the outskirts of the capital administrative region, and several days of low temperature and snowy weather made the smooth road surface accumulate a thick layer of snow, even the micro-heating pipeline at the bottom of the asphalt, there is no way to make the snow melt faster.

"Why did you come down too?" The richly dressed young woman in the back seat of the black car lovingly hugged the little girl looking out of the window, looked at the fat captain opposite, and said with a smile: "A captain doesn't stay on his own ship, and you are not afraid of being driven away." ”

The young woman's smile, and the delicate meaning that did not match her age in the gentleness was released, which made the atmosphere in the car suddenly improve a lot. The fat captain looked at the young woman and said with a flattering smile: "Little sister-in-law, if such a big thing has happened to the young lady, of course I have to come and make amends to you personally." The ship needs to be replenished anyway, and I don't care about it. ”

"Do you want me to make amends, or do you want me to intercede with him?" asked the young woman, looking at him amusemently.

The fat captain said with a bitter face: "Miss has been missing under my nose for so long, and after returning to the military region, the leader will definitely train me." My sister-in-law must help me with a few kind words. ”

"Isn't the fireworks good? how could he blame you, we all know how naughty fireworks are, and letting Brother Tian bring her over this time will already trouble you." The young woman smiled gently, glanced at the daughter in her arms, and said softly: "Fireworks, don't run around in the future, you are an obedient child, don't you know what Uncle Zhang will be in a hurry?"

Zhong Yanhua's children stubbornly looked at the cedars that swept back silently outside the window, refusing to answer their mother's questions, she thought in her heart, probably except for Brother Xu Le, no one in this world wants to believe what she says, even if the father and mother are like this, they always don't listen to their own opinions, they always think that they are children, and they don't ask their own opinions, so they want to send themselves to this cold and snowy ghost place to study.

As if guessing what the child was thinking, the young woman's face flashed with gloom and apology, and she turned to the fat captain and said, "This child is just reluctant to leave home, it seems that there is no way, I have to stay here with her for a few more years." ”

The fat captain surnamed Tian immediately understood the potential meaning of this sentence, and said with a smile: "Little sister-in-law, don't worry, I will watch it strictly." In an instant, his face became heavy, and he said: "The commander asked us to block the news about the disappearance of the young lady, and I also explained the little kid named Xu Le, he shouldn't have said anything...... I just don't understand, if the young lady doesn't send it to the capital, how dare those old men and councillors of the management committee?"

The young woman laughed: "The Federation is not an empire, where is there any proton saying, it's just that our Zhong family has been stationed in Xilin for too long, and the people in the capital are always not very relieved." Let the fireworks go back to the federation to study, but it doesn't necessarily have any bad thoughts, probably so that the descendants of the Zhong family can have more sense of belonging to the federation since childhood. ”

After saying this, she suddenly frowned slightly and asked, "That little guy named Xu Le, does he know the identity of the fireworks?"

"That kid looks honest and reliable, but in fact he is very shrewd, I am afraid that he has already guessed it, but he didn't say it, probably he also knows that it is better to pretend not to know some things. The fat captain shrugged his shoulders, and the fat on his body began to tremble again.

The little watermelon, who had been staring out the window, suddenly turned his head, looked at the two adults in the car, and said loudly with all his might: "Brother Xu Le is a good person!"

The young woman laughed and said: "Of course he is a good person, he knows that we are from the Zhong family, but he didn't ask for anything because you liked him, but hid far away, the key is that he is very cute to hide, not that kind of hypocritical hypocrisy...... Fireworks, Mom believes in your eye for people. ”

The little watermelon turned her head proudly. The young woman looked at the fat captain and said calmly: "Since that little guy doesn't want to have anything to do with us, then forget it, I left him a card for the head office of the military region, and if he needs it in the future, I can help him." ”

Captain Fat nodded, and then said: "The company's energy quota has been hit in half, and the report has been sent, the key is the Energy Committee of the Management Committee, and other ministries and commissions should be easy to run, and the Energy Committee needs the chairman to talk about it in person." ”

The fat man changed his name, that is, when it came to business, the young woman's expression was a little more serious, and her tone was still gentle: "Leave this matter to me." But you are really, you wasted so many quotas at once, and as a result, the Donglin Garrison District reimbursed a whole formation of special forces, and the lawsuit can be fought, and even Lake and they were injured by you...... After returning to the military region, you will explain it yourself. ”

The fat captain had no different color on his face, and replied calmly: "The commander should not embarrass me in this regard." ”

"Hmm? That traitorous mechanic is considered a big enemy of our Fourth Military Region, and he will definitely be in a much better mood when he knows this news......" The young woman's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked curiously: "But the problem is, that mechanic is really so powerful? The special mecha team led by Lake can't deal with it, so he has to start from space? Next month, the Ministry of Defense must come forward to incorporate the Gu Zhong, otherwise this problem cannot be explained." ”

"That mechanic is amazing. The fat captain closed his eyes, recalled the strange jump of the black mecha on the thermal imager and satellite screen that day, opened his eyes after a moment of silence and said: "Much stronger than me, Lake, they are not opponents at all, this mission of the Federation is not easy to take over, no wonder the Ministry of Defense will give us this credit." ”

The young woman's expression became serious and asked, "How is it better than him?"

The fat captain knew that he was referring to the leader, the commander of the Fourth Military Region, and after pondering for a while, he replied objectively: "If you use mecha on the field battlefield, the leader is not his opponent...... However, the chairman of the board of directors can rest assured that the person who died can no longer die, and more than 10,000 lives in the military region more than ten years ago have finally been recovered. ”

The young woman nodded, looked at the wind and snow outside the window, looked down at her sleeping daughter again, and suddenly whispered, "That...... What kind of strong method is a mechanic?"

"Others definitely can't understand it, but I spent some time in the Li family's self-cultivation hall when I was a teenager. The fat man lowered his voice and said very seriously: "I always feel that the mechanic has something to do with the Li family in Philadelphia. ”

Hearing the Li family in Philadelphia, the young woman couldn't help but be a little moved, she knew that Tian Fatzi was a rare master of the Fourth Military Region, and his vision was particularly vicious, and the conclusions she came to should be somewhat credible. After thinking for a moment, she said softly: "Since the mechanic Yu Feng is dead, this matter will end here, and the commander will not say anything about it." It is absolutely impossible for the Li family to betray the Federation, let those politicians know, there will definitely be some trouble, as soldiers, of course we can't let Li Lao get into trouble. ”

As a soldier, the fat captain also had great respect for the old man surnamed Li in his heart, and nodded seriously.

......

......

The Seven Families of the Federation are a privileged class without privileges, and countless years of history and countless great achievements have made these seven families the pillars of the Federation. In a modern society based on federal law, this somewhat ancient family only quietly lurks in the shadows, rarely showing its true identity to the general public. The people of the Federation know about the Seven Families, but they never know where the Seven Families are strong, and what kind of power and power they have.

For ordinary people, the Seven Families are like distant existences above the clouds, existing in after-dinner chatter, in illegally trafficked literary publications, but it is impossible to exist in their own lives.

Six of the seven families live on the three administrative planets of the Capital Circle, and the only one that is not within the Shanglin Region is the Xilin Zhong family.

There is only one Zhong family in Xilin, and compared with other families, the Zhong family is more transparent among the people, because since the development of the Federation countless years ago, the Fourth Military Region of the Zhong family has undertaken the defense work of the most marginal part of the Federation, except for the accident in the Donglin Region, the Fourth Military Region has never lived up to the expectations of the people of the Federation.

Xu Le buttoned up his windbreaker, stood in the wind and snow and waited for the bus, looking up at the sky with snow falling from time to time, feeling a little inexplicable.

He was just a fugitive, who knew that he would be able to see the legendary characters of the Zhong family, and even stayed with the young lady of the Zhong family for so many days, and he actually saw the wife of the Zhong family at the airport, which was the wife of the commander of the Fourth Military Region...... It turns out that there is nothing strange about the legendary big man, and it still looks quite gentle.

At this time, Xu Le didn't know that Little Watermelon's mother was not only the wife of the commander of the Fourth Military Region, but also the chairman of a giant company, otherwise he was afraid that he would be scared even more. Squinting at the snow falling from the sky, the boy's heart was already calm at this time, but there was a slight regret that the broken M02 would probably have been drifting in space until one day it was thrown into the endless void and became garbage......

After mourning for a moment for his first intimate contact and the first dilapidated mecha that he repaired by himself, Xu Le looked at the time of the bus, thought for a while, and then turned around and went into the airport to buy a pack of dog biscuits from Shanglin's specialty, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

When he was in Donglin before, he knew about the puppy biscuits in Shanglin, and he had seen the advertisements on Channel 23 many times, but he never had the opportunity to taste them in person, after all, the two administrative regions were too far apart, and not all commercial companies were willing to do low-profit business like biscuits. The puppy biscuits were very crispy, Xu Le was very happy to eat, and he thought to himself that he was indeed a hillbilly.

In fact, the things in the airport are very expensive, but he doesn't care about this, he is swiping the card for all the consumption along the way, swiping the Sanlin United Bank card left by the boss and uncle, he doesn't know how much money is in the card, but it seems that he can't finish swiping it.

The bus came, Xu Le followed a big suitcase to get on the bus, struggled to find a seat, took off his windbreaker and sat down, put a whole bag of puppy biscuits on the food rack at hand, ready to eat slowly and beautifully, suddenly, his fingers suddenly touched two cold thin fingers, which startled him!

--Xu Le turned his head in astonishment, only to see a girl wearing a hat reaching into the bag, unceremoniously preparing to take the biscuits.
