Chapter 98: Start Investigation

"Besides." For some reason, when he saw the dark-skinned and obviously tired middle-aged man opposite the dining table, thinking about the things that have happened over the years, thinking about the wishes he had given to the President, Xu Le's mood was a little inappropriate, and he raised his head and said stiffly: "There is someone else who really wants to influence the judicial process, it has nothing to do with me."

President Pablo threw the cold wet towel onto the table, suppressing his anger and criticized loudly: "What is this? The voice of injustice? Could it be that you think I, or who in the official residence, put any pressure on the court?"

"You don't, it doesn't mean your subordinates don't." Xu Le thought of Director Brin's face that was gloomy in the shadows, and thought of the family representatives who were listening in court, and continued toughly: "...it doesn't mean that those families don't, otherwise how could the curly-haired female judge make such a mentally retarded judgment?"

He raised his head, looked at the slightly thin face of the President without any retreat, and said in a deep voice: "As for you and this residence, silence...is an attitude in itself."

Silence is the default, indifference and observance. President Pabur and the official residence have been silent on Xilin affairs for more than a year. They have not expressed any opinions on that trial. This is the best opinion for the sharks who share the Xilin Zhong family's industry, but this is the most unacceptable problem for Xu Le.

The porcelain plate and silver fork on the dining table had been cleaned up by the waiter. The lonely flames on the candlestick in the middle were jumping in the dim room, and there were some traces of soup on the golden flowered tablecloth. After hearing Xu Le's courageous questioning, President Pablo kept staring at the stains and watching them seriously, as if he was watching his truest heart.

With the sound of heavy wooden chair dragging on the bright brick floor, the President stood up. He walked to the window, held his hands down behind his waist, and his tired and sour body slightly raised his eyes, which drove his eyes to see the snow falling between the street lights, and remained silent for a long time.

"There is a very vulgar problem." The President did not look back, but still stared at the view outside the window, saying: "Since becoming the President of the Federation, the scenery I have seen has been allowed to see after being reviewed by the Secret Service. Is this kind of scenery that has lost its *** flavor good?"

In a vaguely, Xu Le captured his true thoughts from a slightly hoarse voice. He stood up slowly in his right hand holding a cold wet towel, looking at the thin middle-aged man by the window who was still very hard on his shoulders.

"There is a more vulgar way to ask questions." The mirror reflected President Pablo's blurred face, his lips twitched slightly, and he laughed at himself, saying, "Are you... mine?"

This question is indeed very vulgar. Whether it is the content of the question or the way of asking questions, it is full of vulgarity. Perhaps the most miserable gangsters in Donglin would win me in this way. Who would have thought that the most powerful president of the entire federal government was completely less eloquent than the eloquent style of being a lawyer back then, and just threw out a big saying.

So Xu Le was stunned for a moment. After a while, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, stood up straight in his military posture, raised his right hand over his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "As a federal soldier, of course I will obey your orders."

This should not be the answer that President Pablo wants, but it is not the worst answer, so the president in the window smiled slightly and said with a deep emotion: "I just treat you as my person and say something... I can understand your anger about this lawsuit in Xilin, because many times, I am also very angry."

President Pablo quietly looked at himself in the window, in the snow, in the light, and in the low voice, and whispered: "I am angry at my shamelessness and despicability... This shamelessness and despicability lies in the fact that I clearly realize that Commander Zhong's death is a very good thing for the Federation. I must admit that whenever I think of this, I even feel very grateful."

He turned slowly, with fatigue hidden in his deep eye sockets, looking at Xu Le and said slowly: "Sometimes late at night, I even thought about something even more crazy... If Commander Zhong, Hu, he was still alive, still holding dozens of powerful mechanics in his hand, insisting not to be a pioneer, but only in Xilin, watching the federal troops attack the Galaxy in a cold manner... Will I push the government and the military to kill him by illegal means?"

Xu Le was silent. He knew very well what Xilin meant for the federal expedition, and he knew very well that what Mr. President said was true. Commander Zhong was alive and had no benefit to the federal government. His death could bring endless benefits to the federal government. In fact, the military radicals and the government figure who weaved this conspiracy must have considered this aspect.

However, he never imagined that the President would admit that he would think so. He looked up in surprise and looked at the figure of President Pablo by the window, thinking about his sincere care and protection for himself over the years, thinking about his previous feelings, or perhaps it was just because the figure of the President by the window was too thin...

He decided to say something.

...

...

"I need a safe place." Xu Le checked the password lock on the black workbench and advised President Pablo: "Otherwise I dare not say those things."

President Pablo couldn't help but smile, waved his arm and mocked: "This is the official residence, where do you find a safer place?"

"I mean information security." Xu Le replied calmly.

President Pablo frowned, his voice humming and powerful: "Do you think someone dares to listen to me?"

"This kind of thing has not happened in history." Xu Le looked at him persistently, holding the black workbench and said: "Mr. President, you will find that there is no one around you who can trust."

The President's dark cheeks looked increasingly solid. He pressed the call button and ordered the relevant staff to prepare.

While waiting, the first daughter who had been waking up in the middle of the night walked down from the upstairs with her eyes. The girl who had been fighting against the disease was thin and adorable. She hugged President Pabur gently and then found Xu Le standing beside her. The girl's eyes that were so calm that it made people feel a little thrust suddenly shine, but she didn't dare to go up to hug Xu Le. She just lowered her head and squatted, and ran back to her bedroom with her face covering.

If this cute scene is normal, it will definitely be a joke or warning Xu Le. However, the atmosphere late at night is a bit abnormal, with only silence.

The Secret Service staff wearing black formal clothes were like hard-working ants who did not need to sleep. They cleaned up the route as quickly as possible, and then protected Mr. President and Xu Le into the emergency tunnel below the official residence. After walking along the tunnel for about ten minutes, the steps gradually extended upwards, probably entering a building.

"What is this?" Xu Le looked at the big iron door in confusion and asked, "Is it safer than the official residence?"

"This is the fully blocked bond database of the Ministry of Finance." President Pablo turned to look at him with a smile and said, "Young man, welcome to visit the treasure room of the federal government."

At this moment, the senior director of the Secret Service, with a solemn expression, said: "Mr. President, I strongly oppose you and Colonel Shuller entering the warehouse alone, which seriously violates the relevant regulations."

The senior executive looked at Xu Le coldly, his eyes as sharp as a hawk: "Col. Xu Le, I think you should understand the importance of discipline."

Xu Le didn't answer.

"Don't worry, Colonel Xu Le is the person I trust the most." The President smiled and patted the senior executive on the shoulder, saying, "If even he wanted to kill me, it might mean that I really deserved to die, haha..."

This became a famous saying later.

...

...

"The above is my report. There must be a problem with the attack of the ancient clock, but the most urgent problem now is, Mr. President, the people around you cannot trust and it is easy to have big problems."

The fully shielded database deep underground inherits the exaggerated and luxurious style that the Ministry of Finance is accustomed to. There are as many as seven levels of security authority outside the warehouse. Xu Le followed President Pablo into the warehouse, but found that the warehouse seemed empty, with only a few cold computers running silently without knowing the silence of time. Therefore, Xu Le's last sentence echoed several times before gradually calming down.

President Pablo kept staring at the light curtain on the workbench, as if he wanted to burn the list and inferences on the light curtain. After hearing Xu Le's words, he stood up and walked towards the wall covered with vines. He stretched out his right hand and said hoarsely: "Please give me a cigarette."

Xu Le took out a Sanqi brand cigarette, put it between the President's fingers, and then lit it.

President Pablo took a deep breath of cigarette and coughed repeatedly when he was choked. Suddenly, he roared angrily at the wall-covered vine, like an angry lion king, who declared his anger in the most vicious words and dangerous postures.

He suddenly turned around, stared at Xu Le's eyes hoarsely and shouted: "You want me to believe in my vice president, and so many federal pillars, all of them are a group of murderers who do all kinds of evil? You must provide evidence!"

"The evidence was found." Xu Le replied in a low voice: "I know the time when the attack on the ancient clock is very wrong, but... I can investigate it secretly, and I need ***'s authorization."

President Pablo threw the cigarette roll on the ground, his face was complicated, and sadness and anger were mixed with some indescribable emotions, and he said slowly: "If there is no authorization, will you not check?"

"I will check whether there is authorization or not." Xu Le replied.
