Chapter 236: A Silent Call in a Rain of Bullets
The atmosphere in the field was tense and depressing, and the crowd standing opposite Xu Le was as stiff as countless statues, and they didn't dare to make too many moves. Xu Le admitted that he was waiting for a certain phone call, which eased the sense of urgency a little, "It's just that the long silent wait that follows is also an extremely severe test for everyone's heart."
Schiller has a tragicomedy in two acts called Waiting for the Man surnamed Ge, and the characters in the play never wait for that person to appear, only absurd proverbs are full of them, endless, and extremely tormenting, just like everyone is waiting for the phone in Xu Le's hand to ring at this moment, but it doesn't ring.
At this moment, a silver famous car came from the mountain road at high speed, the hard rubber tires made a violent grinding sound against the ground, and the warning facilities of the other manor had completely failed, and there was no instrument to react to the arrival of this car.
Before the silver car could be stopped, Li Xiaotong jumped out of the car and stopped in front of Xu Le. He vigorously ripped the bow tie around his neck, didn't care about wiping the sweat dripping from his well-trimmed sideburns, looked at Xu Le's face, and said vigorously: "Take a deep breath and think again." ”
As Xu Le's early investor and acquaintance friend, the seventh young master of the Tiesuli family knew very well how persistent and hard this guy's temperament was, and when he saw those small eyes squinting slightly, he knew that he was really ready or impulsive to kill today.
Li Xiaotong's heart was slightly cold, and he stopped in front of Xu Le, he didn't expect him to be able to change the other party's decision, he had already told his father what happened in this manor just now, and he only hoped that those old guys could make a decision quickly, although those decisions were a little too difficult for the dignity of the Seven Families.
Xu Le shook hands with him and replied, "It's not me who needs to think about it now. ”
Having said that, he really followed Li Xiaotong's suggestion, took a few deep breaths, and poured those slightly salty sea breezes into his lungs, which was extremely refreshing and clear, and once again confirmed that his request was not too much.
Slightly relieved, he quickly wiped the beads of sweat from his sideburns with his cotton bow tie, stood beside him, and began to wait with him for the phone that might never ring.
The phone rang.
Xu Le waited for the bell to ring twice, then connected the phone, no one spoke on the other end of the phone, it was as quiet as a sinking night, only a very light long breathing sound rang from time to time, judging from the breathing sound, the other party should be an old man who was already old.
"Leaving this Spring Manor, it is as if nothing has happened. ”
After a long silence, an old and indifferent voice suddenly rang on the other end of the phone. The tone of the other party's speech was as mysterious and proud as the ordinary people of the Federation imagined, with an innate sense of oppression and authority, as if ordinary people in this universe should naturally obey him or fear him.
This is not what Xu Le wanted to hear, so his thick eyebrows were slightly raised, half-unsheathed like two flying knives, the cold gradually appeared, and he didn't say a word stubbornly, just put his left hand on his back and slowly clenched his fists.
The proud and powerful old man on the other end of the phone answered with a crisp gunshot.
The sniper rifle on the other side of the mountain and forest fired again, and the real bullet cut through the air and roared, shooting in horror on the sand in front of Lin Douhai's feet, and with a chirp, he didn't know how many meters deep it shot into the ground.
There was a suppressed exclamation on the shore of the sea and the sound of fearful retreating footsteps.
Although there was only a rain of sand, anyone could see the power of this bullet clearly, and if the sniper's hand shook slightly, Lin Douhai's feet had turned into a rain of blood at this time.
This young master of the Lin family, who is regarded as the most unsuccessful of the second generation of the Seven Families, seems to be much stronger than everyone on the seaside at this time, and his pale face is as if he didn't hear the gunshot, and he didn't feel the violent shock from the soles of his feet, so he insisted on not retreating, gritting his teeth and staring at Xu Le, who was talking on the phone in front of him.
Because he guessed who the caller was, in this situation that had not been seen for many years, the dignity of the Seven Families could not be further reduced.
Xu Le still didn't speak, and the head of the Lin family on the other end of the phone didn't speak after hearing the gunshot.
The big man, who was extremely mysterious and lofty in the eyes of ordinary people, knew very well that the young lieutenant colonel on the other end of the phone was waiting for him to say something. For ordinary people, those words are just words that are very common to hear, but for a family head of the Seven Families, "they are difficult to accept.
These are hidden in the long history since the end of the Tai Dynasty and the restructuring of the human social and political system. Behind the scenes of history and constantly influencing the direction of history, the family of thousands of generations may have made substantial concessions, or they may have to endure in some time periods, but there are very few people who can force these family heads to bow their heads in person, because they represent the bottom line of family dignity.
In addition to Mochou Houshan, there have been several very strong presidents and presidents who have done this. But many of these great men paid a heavy price for them, either because they were discredited during their tenure, or they were assassinated in a cloud of fog, and some of them were able to stay strong until they died, but they could not prevent their descendants from suffering devastating retaliation from the Seven Masters for a hundred years.
Today, Xu Le brought dozens of people, and he wanted to do a lot of things that his predecessors couldn't do.
After a long period of sinking, the depressing tension of the beach, there is a person across the blue sea and white clouds.
The voice on the other end of the phone was very slow, self-contained and indifferent: "The dog is useless, you can kill him."
This is still not the answer Xu Le wanted, or even the answer he didn't expect, the moment he heard this sentence, his thick eyebrows that were about to fly suddenly fell, and Yu Guang looked at Lin Douhai who was pale in front of him, and vaguely understood why the Seven Masters were able to fight with the federal government for thousands of years without falling.
In the logic of these thousands of families, nothing is more important than the survival of the family, and once this deformed family does not have extreme dignity and pride and overwhelming power**, it will gradually lose the instinctive basis for survival. In a sense, the continuation of this dignity and pride is even more important than the continuation of blood.
But I don't know why, maybe it's just to realize the fantasy picture of an ordinary person challenging the Seven Families, Xu Le still wants to try, so he still sinks down, looking at Lin Douhai not far in front of him, and the left hand behind him moves slightly.
The sniper rifles in the mountains and forests burst into flames! The dense and dull sound of high-speed bullets rang out violently on the beach by the sea, and in an instant, I don't know how many terrifying children in the area were enveloped in this area, and the fluffy sand rain was shot into smoke and dust! There was an exclamation on the seaside, and the children of the powerful fled in all directions, and no one at all noticed the terrified howls that Lin Douhai kept making in the smoke and dust.
The smoke fell, and the gunfire stopped.
Lin Douyan's face was pale between the scarred sand lines on the ground, his thighs kept shaking, his eyes were looking ahead blankly, his pupils couldn't focus at all, there was a water stain in front of his nightgown, a few stenches, and he was about to fall down softly, he didn't know that he was still alive, and he entered a miserable mental state of not knowing life and death.
Xu Le's chair phone was placed in his ear, and Shen waited.
After the phone was connected, the head of the Lin family said a word condescendingly and proudly, and said a word indifferently, Liao Liao counted f6 rooms, and he could hold people's hearts and rub the ground crispy, and the magnanimity of the city was unfathomable.
However, he couldn't rub the heart of this hard stone, he kept calming, and simply faced the other party's bearing with only the sound of gunfire.
As the old saying goes, only the barrel of a gun can spew out a light breeze and clouds, and those who wear shoes are always easy to fear people with bare feet, and those who speak of magnanimity can never help simple people with thick nerves and straight lines.
Even though the Seven Masters are omnipotent, but at this moment, Lin Douhai is under gunpoint, as long as Xu Le does not take the initiative to give in, no one can solve this problem, then someone must give in, or Lin Douhai will die.
This time, the two sides of the phone took longer to sink.
The people who had been scattered in all directions for a long time threw back the daylight again, scanning around in disbelief, searching in vain for the terrifying sniper rifle, so long that the gentle sea breeze stirred the sand, covering up all the dense and miserable bullet holes in the field, so long that the shocked expression on Li Feirong's face turned into a daze, and finally returned in fear and puzzlement, until he came to his senses and tried to bravely help Lin Douhai, who did not know who was unknown.
Xu Le's ear came with Gu Xifeng's report: There is a signal ** on the line of the Lin family, and the line of the Lin family cannot be tracked back at all, and as for this sudden ** signal, it cannot be monitored, and the other party's technical level is not weaker than the seven groups.
Who would call the head of the Lin family at such a tense juncture? Xu Le frowned and pondered, and then a man with thin shoulders appeared in his mind, so his brows slowly dispersed, becoming more and more calm.
Sure enough, after a while, he finally heard the voice of the head of the Lin family on the other end of the phone ring again.
"It's our fault. ”
The voice of the head of the Lin family on the other end of the phone was old and slightly tired: "On behalf of the Lin family, I formally apologize to you, and as the head of the Lin family, I promise you that there will never be similar problems in the future."
In this world, no, it should be said that in history, how many people have heard the personal apology of the heads of the seven families and seen them bow their heads?
The ordinary people of the Federation never had the idea of confronting these families of thousands of years, not only because they were mysterious and unattainable, but also because they knew that it was in vain.
Today's Xu Le has a big background, has dozens of guns, and is no longer an ordinary person in the general sense, but compared with a behemoth like the Seven Families, it still seems small and insignificant, but today he didn't even call any background, just walked in with a group of brothers in a straight line, which proved that as long as you try to go to Han, maybe some things can really be done successfully, listening to the words that rang on the other end of the phone, Xu Le narrowed his eyes, grinned, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and after a pause, he finally replied for the first time:" I heard it, bothered.
Then he hung up and waited for the next call, which was about to come.
