The meeting that Bai Li was invited to attend did not tell anything, and it was not even clear who attended the meeting until Lu Zhao drove to the Legion with Bai Li the next day.

This kind of behavior doesn't quite fit with the First Legion, and Bai Li somewhat guessed the purpose of the meeting.

This guess was confirmed when the door of the conference room was pushed open and the people sitting in the room were clearly seen.

There were four people sitting in the room, one of them was wearing a legion uniform, both Lu Zhao and Bai Li knew each other.The man's hair was mostly gray, but his voice was full of anger, he stood up and said, "Can't you arrive earlier? Do you have to come sooner?"

"If I had known it was you, I would have been late without stepping on anything." Bai Li relaxed his body and smiled, "Thanks, I can sleep for an extra hour.

The marshal was never happy to see Bai Li's poor mouth, so he punched him with a smile, and then turned around and introduced: "Get to know each other, this is Captain Tong and his deputy from the police department."

Sitting on the sofa, the tall beta stood up with his deputy and greeted Bai Li and Lu Zhao.

"This is..." Before the marshal finished speaking, another alpha stood up and shook hands with Bai Li and Lu Zhao respectively.

"Lin Xu." He said sullenly.

Bai Li and Lu Zhao's hearts jumped at the same time, Lin Xu was the name of the second heir.

This is the first time that Bai Li has seen Lin Xu himself. In the original book, the second young master was run out of the game since he was a child, and basically missed the main star. Ordinary soldiers lived together and were once called "grassroots young masters".

Years of life in the army made Lin Xu look calm and serious, with the corners of his mouth drooping slightly, serious.

"I originally planned to see you after everything was done, but today the Second Highness said that he would talk with Captain Tong, so I followed." The marshal pointed to the sofa and asked Bai Li and Lu Zhao to sit down, "The case I understand it in general, but the details need to be carefully checked—you can’t live up to His Majesty’s trust.”

No matter how you hear this, it sounds like an excuse.

Although the old man of the Lin family had indeed entrusted the matter to Lin Xu, it was not to the point where the second heir was to play in person.Bai Li knew in his heart that the purpose of this matter was not pure, so he glanced at the Marshal with a half-hearted smile.

The marshal pretended he didn't see it, and they sat down again.

"Mr. Bai Li, don't be nervous. We still have some doubts that need to be confirmed." Captain Tong was a tall man, speaking angrily, "Major General Lu Zhao can go to work first if you have something to do."

A little hesitant, Lu Zhao hesitated to get up when he felt his hand being pulled.

"No need," Bai Li didn't make him stand up, "My wife knows all about this."

The Marshal glanced at Bai Li in surprise, and then looked at Lin Xu together with Captain Tong.

Lin Xu nodded.

"Then let's start directly." Captain Tong used his personal terminal to call up the file.

The question of the investigation is not complicated, and Bai Li recalled the general idea of ​​the matter after asking.

Lu Zhao had a little understanding of the rescue mission back then, but he didn't know the details.This was the first time he heard Bai Li talk about the past in detail, and it was not a pleasant memory to be honest.

"According to your description, you had a conflict with Mr. Lin Sheng before the rescue," Captain Tong said while gesturing to his assistant to record, "Is it because of a command problem?"

Bai Li drank his saliva: "At that time, the adjutant and I felt that there was something wrong with his deployment, so we wanted to talk to him. But this bastard insisted that I was against him, so I could only confront him on the spot and let him see I didn't mean that before."

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh, but also felt helpless.

Captain Tong continued to ask: "Then do you think anyone else is involved in this matter?"

Bai Li was stunned: "Huh?"

"We're just talking, you can say whatever you want," Captain Tong said, "You can not only express your views on what happened at that time, but also your follow-up views on this matter over the years. After all," he paused After a pause, "This matter was suppressed for a while, what do you think is the problem?"

Bai Li's eyes narrowed, his gaze passed Captain Tong and Lin Xu in turn, and finally landed on the marshal's face.

"Cough," the marshal cleared his throat in embarrassment, "don't think too much about it."

Although he had a premonition, Bai Li's mood was still very complicated when the matter was in front of him.

Lu Zhao also sensed something was wrong, frowned, and subconsciously looked at Bai Li.

"Hey," Bai Li sighed, leaning on the back of the sofa, "Don't do this."

Captain Tong: "What?"

"I understand that you want to use this matter as a weight in the game," Bai Li said, "but don't let me aggravate it. I have had a terrible time in the past few years."

After he finished speaking, Captain Tong showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

It's not difficult for Bai Li to guess what they were thinking, they just hoped that he could take another stab at him and implicate the first heir.

Now the first heir is being cornered by the second heir, and the two are fiercely pinching each other.Lin Xu didn't get much support in his family, and it was not easy for him to be able to survive until today. He didn't want to let go of any chance to take a bite out of the first heir.

Bai Li can understand, but he really doesn't want to make more fuss about this matter.

The rescue mission back then brought too much psychological shadow to Bai Li, and many people died. He hoped to reverse the case, but he didn't want to reverse the case for killing someone, at least don't say it from his mouth.

The conference room fell into a brief silence, while Lin Xu kept his tight sitting posture, habitually putting his hands on his knees, with a serious expression.

Before Bai Li could say anything, Lu Zhao stood up.

"Let's go if you have nothing to do." Major General Lu said lightly.

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, but Lu Zhao pulled him up from the sofa.

He saw a bit of unbelievable anger in Lu Zhao's eyes.

Lu Zhao has not been in contact with too many people in the center of power. In his cognition, many things are simply divided into "dos" and "don'ts".In his cognition, reversing the case is reversing the case, and the investigation is just an investigation. He can't understand this kind of behavior mixed with other purposes.

This incomprehension made him angry.

The major general brother is still too young.Bai Li thought to himself, it's no wonder that until the end of the original work, he couldn't get to the top like Tang Kaiyuan.

That's fine too.

"Sorry," said a dull voice, "I didn't mean to embarrass Major General Bai."

Lin Xu stood up, his face still sullen, and his words seemed a little rigid: "That's the end of today's investigation."

After he finished speaking, Captain Tong and his assistant also got up, and shook hands with Bai Li before leaving.

"I apologize for my question just now," Captain Tong said solemnly, "but I promise that the investigation will be conducted fairly."

Bai Li smiled, and the two police officers opened the door and walked out of the conference room first, followed by Lu Zhao, who was about to leave when Lin Xu spoke again.

"I like mechs very much, and I also serve as a pilot in the garrison army." Lin Xu said, "So I have been paying attention to the competition. I am very interested in the white01 model."

This topic came up so suddenly, Bai Li could barely distinguish Lin Xu's appreciation from these two short sentences: "Thank you."

"I'm curious," Lin Xu said, "After the competition, what are your plans?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xu would ask this, Bai Li paused for a few seconds and replied, "Go back to the military."

The marshal sighed softly.

"You mean, after winning the competition and the white01 model can be officially developed and put into use, you will have the opportunity to drive the mecha again and return to the military." Lin Xu seemed to be unable to feel his surroundings. The wood of human emotions said to himself, "But according to my understanding, it is very difficult."

Lu Zhao frowned.

"It's very difficult." Bai Li couldn't help laughing.

No wonder the old Majesty didn't like this son very much in the original book.This person speaks so directly that he doesn't even realize that he may have offended someone.

"Sorry, I mean, as far as I know, it may take a long time from the formal research and development of mechas to mass production and use, and there have been cases where plans were shelved during the process," Lin Xu finally noticed the problem with his tone from the marshal's expression, Added awkwardly, "This may affect your return to the military."

Bai Li admitted: "Yes."

"If you need," Lin Xu said, "I can let you go back to the military right now."

After Lu Zhao realized what the words meant, he quickly turned to look at Bai Li.

This is undoubtedly a delicious dish in front of the hungry, and Bai Li is already sitting at the table.

"The First Legion may not work, but I can think of a way for the Second Legion." Lin Xu continued, "You can work in the Second Legion and wait for the mechs to be put into use."

Bai Li was silent for a long time, and said, "I can probably guess that this is a deal."

In the process of pinching each other with the first heir, Lin Xu didn't have many connections.Bai Li is very aware of his own advantages in this transaction. The Bai family is only an empty shell, but its reputation is still resounding, and the contacts left by Mr. Bai have not been cut off.During this period of time, he had a tendency to stand up, and his image in the eyes of the citizens of the empire was different from the past, which deserves a big fuss.

And Lu Zhao tied him together.

The marshal said helplessly: "Your words are too..." Before the marshal could finish the word "directly", Lin Xu gave the answer.

"I don't deny that I have other goals and needs." Lin Xu stood straight and said as if reporting work, "But aside from these, I personally would like to give you a chance to return to the military. I have read your interview, I think the Empire needs more people like you."

His tone was blunt, and he said this kind of thing without any concealment, which made Bai Li a little speechless.

Lu Zhao didn't listen, he had a slight expectation.

He knew that as long as Bai Li nodded, he could save a lot of walking.Lin Xu provided Bai Li with a fellowship that could be regarded as a shortcut, but he only stipulated corresponding conditions.

Once linked with the royal family, the deal is established.

Lu Zhao looked at Bai Li for a moment, almost wanting to press Bai Li's head and nod for him.

Bai Li stood there in a daze for a long time before he finally breathed out: "Thank you, Second Young Master, but let's forget it."

For some reason, Lu Zhao felt that the answer did not exceed his expectations.But there was still disappointment, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

"You don't want to go back to the military?" Lin Xu was puzzled, "If you really want to go to the First Army, I can—"

"Don't get me wrong, I want to go back to the military," Bai Li scratched his neck, "I want to go back even in my dreams." He sighed, "But not now, nor like this."

Not now, because the timing was wrong.Bai Li didn't know where the plot had progressed, and most things were out of touch, but he vaguely felt that everything was not completely over, and he was always on tenterhooks.

Returning to the military in this state may not be a good thing.

No, because he didn't really want to go back to the office where the second-line military personnel stayed, and sat there blindly waiting.It's not that he tied himself to the royal family under a deal, and he had to implicate Shang Lu Zhao to board the ship with him.

"What I want to go back to is the military world that allows me to machine armor and go to the universe," Bai Li looked at Lin Xu, and said slowly, "rather than getting involved in the dark clouds and quagmire of the empire."

Lin Xu was at a loss for words, scratched his head in a daze, and glanced at the marshal.

"I'm not suitable to come and go in and out of the Sapphire Palace," Bai Li said, "I don't want to go back to the military, I want to machine armor, I want to do what I like, and I want to be myself. I haven't done it for many years, I want to do it I have to go back."

His purpose has always been pure, he wants to machine armor.

It is not necessary to return to the military world, but only by returning to the military world can he continue to experience the universe and the galaxy.

Bai Li wants to go back, but don't put more shackles on his body.

Don't make this a deal.

The marshal's expression was a bit complicated, and after a long time, he gradually became more relieved.He touched his wrinkled face, sighed, "Stubborn."

The failure to negotiate did not seem to have made Lin Xu feel too dissatisfied. He was like an outlier in the Lin family. He did not inherit the Lin family's eloquence at all. After saying hello and walking to the door, he said, "Major General Bai, I really appreciate you."

Bai Li turned around.

"I will try my best to investigate Lin Sheng's case and let the public have a chance to know the truth." Lin Xu's voice became louder, "But my father is very difficult to deal with. He doesn't like to listen to me very much, but I will try my best to let him know the truth." He listened."

His straightforwardness amused Bai Li, and he couldn't help laughing twice: "Thank you, Second Young Master."

"I wish you victory to the end." Lin Xu said.

Bai Li walked to the door, thought of something before opening the door, turned his head and asked, "Second Young Master, I want to ask you something."

Lin Xu nodded.

"When I said 'dark clouds' and 'mire'," Bai Li asked, "what did you think of?"

Lin Xu frowned and thought for a moment, then replied: "I admit that it is difficult for them to disappear, but I will do my best so that the next generation can walk on a flat road and look at the blue sky." After a pause, he apologized, "Maybe the means It's kind of ugly, but sometimes I have nothing else to do."

Bai Li asked again: "What do you think an ideal empire would look like?"

When this question was asked, a trace of nervousness appeared on the Marshal's face, and he almost jumped back and forth to cover Bai Li's mouth.

But Lin Xu didn't evade. He walked a few steps with his arms folded, and said in a low voice, "It should be 'my empire' in everyone's heart. It belongs to everyone, not to someone."

The room was silent, and Lin Xu sat back on the sofa as if he had never said this sentence.

This meeting with a more than pure purpose ended in silence. Bai Li made an appointment with Lao Zheng to soak his left leg, and Lu called a car to take him to the military hospital.

It wasn't until the car turned on the viaduct that Bai Li let out a sigh of relief and glanced sideways at Lu Zhao.

Major General Lu's expression was very calm, but judging from how many times he was overtaken, Bai Li still felt that he was a little distracted.

"Aren't you a little disappointed?" Bai Li touched him with his hand, "When I rejected Lin Xu."

Lu Zhao said frankly: "Yes."

Bai Li: "Actually, I just want to..." I got stuck halfway through.

"You just don't want to be a weight." Lu Zhao said indifferently, "You have walked openly and aboveboard for so many years, and I hope you can go to the end openly and aboveboard."

He freed one hand to shake Bai Li.

Lu Zhao said softly, "I'm just disappointed for a little while."

In fact, he knew very well that Bai Li would make this choice, and Eldest Young Master Bai was fooling around, but there was always a thread in his heart.

That line had ruined one of his legs and made him give up the favorable plan in mecha research, and now it has crossed out his shortcut.

That line was a little stupid, and a little admirable to Lu Zhao.
