There was a welcoming ceremony, no written commendation orders, no press reports.

Xu Le returned to his apartment in Wangdu District, sitting alone on the sand eating instant hot food boxes, watching the TV news for hours before he got out of this slightly absurd state.

No matter what color the dream is, but since the dream keeps remembering this thing, so that the face is pale, the body is emaciated, and finally coughs up blood and dies, it is really not a good choice. Xu Le used his coarse nerves to temporarily forget about that great existence, but there was no way to get used to the silence of the apartment.

Developing a mecha and participating in Kaqifeng's mecha battle test, Xu Le wanted to let Professor Shen Lao return to Professor Shen, wanted to slap some big shots, and wanted to indirectly hit the election road of Governor Ross and Congressman Medellin.

However, he is a young man after all, after the Fruit Shell Company successfully obtained the new mecha standard of the Federation, as the most important participant, he seems to have been forgotten by the entire Federation, not to mention that there will be resentment, but it is always a little difficult to understand.

He lowered his head and gulped down the greens in the food box, chewing the cauliflower crunchyly, then took a sip of water and looked up at the TV news. On the news screen, the spokesperson of the Federal Academy of Sciences is extremely embarrassed to avoid Ji's question.

The Federation has blocked the detailed inside story of the mecha test, but not the news that the mecha standard has passed, after all, this is an event that can greatly increase the sense of honor and confidence of the citizens of the Federation.

Unlike the specific details of the mecha battle that were hidden, Shang Qiu was in the command hall that day, accusing the Federal Academy of Sciences of plagiarism in person, and President Lin Yuanhu was forced to admit gloomily under the evidence that this scene was seen by too many people, and the federal government didn't know why, and it didn't seem to spend too much energy to cover up the scandal.

In the days when Xu Le was in the Old Moon Ring Base, the entire federal press was hyping up this plagiarism scandal, and many media began to beat the spirit of the water dogs, and turned out the boiling plagiarism storm that had been noisy on the public network a month ago, and even more, directly began to discuss which parts of the academic achievements of Dean Lin Yuanhu who entered the Academy of Sciences and won the Nebula Award many years ago plagiarized Professor Shen Yulin.

The Federal Academy of Sciences is the most respected top-level academic institution in the Federation, and President Lin Yuanhu is the most respected scholar among citizens.

I don't know how many people are sad while watching the news at home, but the media will only continue to discuss in depth, but unfortunately they have not found more details of the incident, and the Academy of Sciences has no face to do any more quibbling.

Xu Le looked at the news. smiled. Then lower your head and start eating. Then he looked up and looked at the news. Take another bite of food. The mood is very happy.

......

......

When I was tidying up the dishes. Xu Le received a call from Major Jiao. He knew that this strange silence was about to disappear. After this call. He received another call from Zou Yudi. Let him go to Lin Yuan for dinner.

He touched his belly. After Uncle Feng Yu taught himself that set of kung fu. The amount of food you eat is really increasing day by day. There should be no problem with another meal. Of course, even if you can't eat it. This time the invitation is also bound to go.

Lin Yuan Bamboo House. Clear spring water flows slowly. Zou Yu used two slender fingers to hold the maroon mud cup. Gently sniff the aroma of plum wine in the cup. Eyelashes blink slightly. glanced at Xu Le across the table without a trace.

When I first met at the door of a nightclub in Linhai Prefecture a year ago, Zou Yu played a cold and rude daughter, and at that time her eyes actually stayed on Shi Qinghai's stunning face a little, but she didn't care about this ordinary-looking young student at all, even if he had already shown rare persistence and righteousness towards his friends at that time.

Later, because of some very wonderful things, the two people actually lived under the same roof, it was during that time that they got along, Zou Yu was extremely amazed by Xu Le's concept of life, and it was really not easy for the current federation to find such a person. At that time, she also came into contact with some of Xu Le's secrets, and knew that this guy would one day shock the entire Federation.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so early. Zou Yu smiled slightly, raised his head, on the face without fat powder, a faint mark on the chin was not very clear, and the postpartum body shape recovered very well, but because of the relationship between breastfeeding himself, he couldn't even smell the smell of perfume.

"I heard that you are now the uncle of Madman Li?" Zou Yu asked with a smile, but there was a hint of sigh in his words, even the little madman who defeated the invincible opponent in the army and dared to break into the parliament hill to beat people was actually defeated by Xu Le's men, which is really unimaginable.

"There's something wrong with the mech he's driving. Too familiar with Zou Yu, Xu Le didn't care much about his demeanor, he sat half-leaning very casually, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I won't be his opponent when controlling the mecha." ”

"What about hand-to-hand combat?" Zou Yu narrowed her eyes and asked curiously, that day at the Hushan Pass, she had seen Xu Le rush up the cliff with her own eyes, and she had also seen him fight three times in the forest garden and Li Maniac, and knew that this guy's personal combat power was also fierce to the extreme.

"That's not until you've actually fought to know. Xu Le replied with a smile.

"You are a person who is gentle on the outside, but in fact he can't tolerate the slightest oppression. Zou Yu looked at him quietly, thinking of the rumored gambling contract, "You are probably the only one who will make the Li family in Philadelphia suffer such a great shame, and you don't worry about anything at all." ”

"He wants to kill me, and you don't know. Xu Le took a sip of wine and asked, "I heard that the military has done an excellent job of secrecy measures this time, how did this gambling contract come out?"

"Any secret, in some circles, is not a secret. Zou Yu put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Seeing you today, there are some people who have a few words to bring to you." ”

"There are many people who don't know, you are now a captain at the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense, and according to your results this time, there is no problem in being directly promoted to lieutenant colonel. ”

"Major Jiao has already called me to explain. Xu Le replied.

Zou Yu said with a hint of apology: "Guoke Company has also prepared a very generous reward, but except for the bonus, the rest of the ...... It was also pressed down.

Even many people don't know now that you are the one who defeated the mecha of the Federal Academy of Sciences. ”

Xu Le was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "It's a little uncomfortable, but you also know that I don't care much about these things."

"I don't like this attitude, I should fight when I should fight. Zou Yu paused and said, "But this time I really don't want to fight, this should be what Mrs. meant." ”

Xu Le's face didn't have too much surprise on his face, he had heard Zhou Yu say it once at the Old Moon Base, and after returning to S1, he had also thought about this problem in the apartment. Taking advantage of the general trend of the federal government and the military wanting to save face for the Li family in Philadelphia, by the way, they hid themselves as much as possible, and the only one who was able to do so was that lady.

It's just that he doesn't know what Madame's reason for doing this is. Xu Le thought of Shang Qiu, could it be that the accusation of plagiarism in the command hall made the family feel that it was too difficult to control? However, Lin Yuanhu's loss of power was of great help to Congressman Pabul's presidential campaign, and the family should be very aware of this, and the reaction of the federal press in recent days also shows this.

"I haven't seen Madame recently, but according to my speculation, there should be some reasons related to your accusation against Lin Yuanhu. Zou Yu lowered her eyes lightly, took a small bite of the food that Xu Le ordered for her to be suitable for maternity, and said, "You probably haven't paid attention to the name Lin Yuanhu...... Dean Lin is actually a distant relative of the Lin family, and there may be disputes between the seven families of the Federation, but it is rare to be as ruthless as you did this time, directly knocking Dean Lin into the dust, and stepping on it a few times. Madame may not like your behavior of asserting without asking for instructions. ”

Lin Yuanhu, Lin Banshan, Lin Douhai, Xu Le's eyes narrowed, there were too many people with the surname Lin in the Federation, and he really didn't expect that Lin Yuanhu had anything to do with the Lin family, one of the seven families. He suddenly thought that he was sitting in the forest garden at this time, where did there be so many forests in this world?

He lowered his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Please, Madame really thinks of me as a member of her family." ”

"Isn't it?" Zou Yu asked at a very fast pace, ** some of the original aggressiveness.

Xu Le is now accustomed to her tone of voice, and in the past nearly a year, Zou Yu has been acting as his analyst, helping him analyze the situation and judge the trend, and even pointed out as early as the beginning of the laboratory data battle that the presidential election is hidden behind this matter, which has given him great help.

"Of course not. Xu Le was quiet for a moment and said, "Everyone is an independent person, isn't it?"

"People are social beings. Zou Yu shook his head and reminded: "If you just want to live a life in chaos, you can still defend yourself, but if you want to rise in the federation and stick to one's standards, you will only suffer a lot." ”

"Don't talk about that. Xu Le suddenly thought of an important thing, and said seriously: "Two days after Liuhuo was born, I received a text message from Shi Qinghai, that guy was secretly investigating the matter of Councilor Medellin, and I have handed over some important evidence to Shen Li." I couldn't contact him again, but I believe he should be alive and well. ”

Zou Yu's thin eyebrows furrowed beautifully, and he was silent for a long time before chuckling and said, "What can that rascal find out?" I said, you'd better not mention this name in front of me. ”

Xiao Liuhuo's parents are a very strange pair of men and women, but Xu Le kept telling Shi Qinghai's story in front of Zou Yu, and in Zou Yu's heart, Shi Qinghai's appearance gradually became clear, and he didn't look like a stranger.

But she often thinks very sensibly that the spy who wanders in the federal society must not be as familiar with herself as she is with him, which is an awkward remark, but it illustrates a poignant truth. So she didn't want to hear that name again, she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.

"Shi Gongzi is a very amazing guy. Xu Le thought of his good brother, who had been taking great risks and doing things that could not be seen for the sake of light in the dark, and a trace of admiration would swell up in his heart.

Zou Yu and Xu Le were so familiar that just this sentence, she knew what Xu Le wanted to express, chuckled, and said sarcastically: "Is it great to be as stubborn and paranoid as you stone?"

Lin Yuan's dinner time was very short, because Zou Yu had to go home to feed. Xu Le sent her to the gate of the Xishan compound, thinking that this young beautiful girl's main daily life now is to take care of children, and she couldn't help but have some complicated emotions.

"When I come to the house for dinner the day after tomorrow, my father probably has something to tell you, and ...... My mom is always asking when you'll be back from your business trip. After Zou Yu got out of the car, he sighed helplessly and said.

Xu Le agreed with a smile, just like promising Vice Minister Zou in the cemetery to carry this pot. His life may not be exciting, but it is definitely weird enough, how long will this black cauldron have to be carried on it?

......

......

The night of Mochou Houshan is so quiet, the picturesque landscape in the daytime, under the blowing of the cold night wind, under the illumination of the bright and clean double moon, there is a little less royal spirit of the rivers and mountains, and a little more beautiful and charming.

The picture that is playing on the light screen is not the plagiarism incident that has been making a lot of noise in recent days, and the two latest mecha of the Federation are fighting fiercely in the dim picture, which is the significant test battle on the top of the Old Moon Kaqi Peak a few days ago.

The Federal Military and the Charter Bureau teamed up to seal off the details of this mecha battle, and all the video and data were sealed after the necessary research at the final assembly base. It stands to reason that the appearance of these images on the light screen is already a serious violation of federal secrecy regulations, but it is the lady who is watching these images, and this matter seems so natural.

At the touch of a button, the light screen slowly retracts into the wall. Madame got up from her chair and walked into the kitchen, her face calm and gloomy. The blockade of the video of the battle was suggested by Madame to President Sieg, ostensibly for the sake of the reputation of the Li family in Philadelphia, but in fact, only she understood what the most critical reason was.

The slightly trembling body of the white mecha in the picture is so familiar, although it is only for a moment, it is deeply imprinted into her eyes.

Most of the people who had witnessed that person operating the mecha had died, but there were always some people alive, and that daring boy was not afraid of death without a place to be buried?

Madame gently stirred the tea and ginkgo porridge in the white porcelain pot, sighed and thought.

......

......

When I fried the green pepper beef at night and cut the shredded beef, I saw myself as a fat cow, and my fingers were a little red...... It doesn't affect typing, guys, I just feel that it's not going well, it's going to be bad, it's painful. ）
