Chapter 173 - The appearance of the mastermind

Xu Hong hid in the trunk of the few men. After who knows how long, he only felt that the car was moving at a very fast speed, and made a few strange turns, before finally stopping.

After they left, Xu Hong came out from the trunk. He looked around, only to find that this was a wasteland, if he remembered correctly, in the outskirts of the southeast part of the city.

Xu Hong secretly followed behind them. He wanted to see who exactly would be contacting them, how could they be so mysterious, coming to this kind of desolate countryside to meet up.

As he got closer to the woods, Xu Hong saw a military sports car parked in the distance. He carefully observed the sports car, and realised that the insignia of the sports car and its license plate was purposefully covered, only then could he see that it was a military sports car.

Xu Hong thought in his heart, who exactly is this person, could it be someone from the military? If it really was someone from the military, then this matter would be serious. He had to find a way to figure out the background of the people in this car.

As the men approached, a man got out of the sports car. He was wrapped up tight, with a tall hat and sunglasses, a mouth mask, a windbreaker, and an ordinary pair of military boots.

Judging from this person's appearance, there was no way to tell anything about him. The leather boots on his feet were definitely not ordinary leather boots worn by ordinary soldiers. It seemed like this person was really good at disguising himself.

Xu Hong took a few more steps forward before stopping. He dared not approach, for fear of being discovered by the other party, because he could tell that whether it was the people he had followed over or the person who had alighted from the carriage, they were all extraordinary people.

Xu Hong hid behind a tree, observing their every move, only to see the leader taking out something from his body, giving it to the person getting off the carriage, it was just that the place was a little courtyard, Xu Hong did not see what it was, he guessed that it was a USB drive.

Only then did Xu Hong realize that there was still a person in the car. That person was actually sitting in the car, and judging from the actions of the person outside the car, it seemed that the person inside had a lot of respect for the person inside the car.

At this time, Xu Hong understood that the person in the carriage with the secret realm was just a lackey. The real deal was that the person in the car had not gotten out yet.

Just then, the person outside the car leaned his head into the window again, and nodded his head. Then, he walked to the trunk and took out one of the suitcases and gave it to the people inside. Those people opened it to take a look, and then seemed to write something down on it.

Xu Hong anxiously went behind another tree and waited for the few of them to leave before looking at the military sports car. The car had already left, and Xu Hong stood there and watched the sports car leave, all the way until it reached the highway to Beijing.

At dusk, a military sports car sped along the highway heading to Beijing. A middle-aged man about fifty years old with a round face and a stubble on his beard sat on the back seat. He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long while, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and said: "Kobayashi, how is the matter that you've investigated?"

The driver in front was a young man in his thirties. He was also wearing sunglasses and a mask. He was the man who met those people when he got off the car just now. At this moment, his high hat was placed on the passenger seat.

The driver turned around and looked at the middle-aged man behind him, and said: "Commander, the matter you told me to investigate has been investigated clearly, that person is called Li Xiang, he was once a special forces soldier, and is now a bodyguard beside a female CEO of a company."

"Li Xiang?" The middle-aged man muttered this name to himself.

The Kobayashi continued: "Later on, on a coincidental opportunity, this Li Xiang accidentally saved the immortal's life in the middle of the yellow mountain."

"In the middle of the Yellow Mountain? I never thought that this old fellow would give up on being the boss of a mafia gang and go from the political world to mess with me. Big brother, since that's the case, don't blame me for this. " The middle-aged man muttered to himself.

The Kobayashi continued to speak: "Huang Shan saw that Li Xiang has some ability, so he asked for his help to save the Xu Ban that was our spy. It was at that time that he discovered our secret."

"Later on, Huang Shan asked Li Xiang to help him find the USB, who would have known that the brat had some ability, and was actually found by him, luckily the USB was in our hands, if not, I'm afraid that all these years would have gone to waste, Commander."

Kobayashi suddenly realized that she spoke too much and quickly swallowed her words.

"Looks like this kid isn't simple after all." The middle-aged man praised, as if he admired Li Xiang a lot.

The Kobayashi continued: "I let my men pass Li Xiang in the main hall of their army. He really does have some ability, he was once a top student who disliked the special forces, and has committed a lot of meritorious military service."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Kobayashi did not say anything for a moment. It was as if he was considering what to say.

This man was also a hoodlum in the past, and his methods were extremely ruthless. If he said something wrong, he could have lost his life. Even he regretted following him on this path before, but now it was impossible for him to back out.

What the Kobayashi couldn't understand was why such a character would enter the military world and even climb up to the position of the commander of the military region. However, he still sat there without saying anything, could it be that this identity was needed as a cover for him to do bad things?

"Kobayashi? What are you thinking about? I'm asking you, is it even possible for us to use this Li Xiang fellow? " the middle-aged man asked again when he saw that the Kobayashi had not spoken a word.

Oh, I was just thinking about this question, "Kobayashi said in a hurry:" Commander, according to my investigation of this Li Xiang, he is a very upright person. He has a very sense of justice, hates evil as hatred, and is very loyal, so wanting him to be of use to us is almost impossible. "

When the middle-aged man heard this, he chuckled, "That's almost impossible. That means there's still a possibility."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Kobayashi didn't know what to say for a moment.

The middle-aged man continued, "Then did you investigate Li Xiang's family background? "Who else is in his family?"

Kobayashi replied, "I've already sent people to investigate this. Li Xiang is an orphan without a parent. According to our investigation, his father sent him to an orphanage when he was young.

Hearing the Kobayashi's words, the middle-aged man seemed to be moved by something. She was stunned for a moment, but then, she seemed to have thought of something, and muttered to herself: "That kid should have grown up to be a big boy now. I wonder how he is currently doing?"

"Commander, what did you say?" Kobayashi asked from the front.

Oh, it's nothing. Oh, by the way, think of a way to rope Li Xiang in. I want him to become one of us, for me to use. "

"This …" The Kobayashi was troubled, "Commander, this might be a little difficult."

The middle-aged man seemed to be slightly angry, "Why is it so difficult? Didn't you say that he is loyal to his friends? If he doesn't want to be used by me, then use extreme methods. Being loyal is his weakness and if he can't be won over, then get rid of him so that he won't get in the way. "

"Yes, I understand. I'll think of something. "

"Oh yeah, when we go back, I have to check up on this Li Xiang's background. When was he sent to the orphanage? But how old are you? You'd better get me a picture of him when he was a kid. " At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke again.

"Yes, I will send someone to investigate, by the way, commander," Kobayashi suddenly said: "This Li Xiang's current appearance is somewhat similar to yours."

Hearing Kobayashi's words, the middle-aged man's heart was moved. He seemed to have sunk into a reminiscence, and after a moment, she seemed to have muttered to herself, "It can't be such a coincidence, boy.

Then, he said to the Kobayashi: "Also, check if this Li Xiang has ever changed his name before. Was that his name before he entered the orphanage? "

"Yes sir!" Kobayashi replied.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man kept looking out of the window, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

That night, when Li Xiang and the others were having dinner together, his phone rang. When Li Xiang saw that it was Xu Hong calling, he quickly picked up the call.

"Fei Fei, I need to go out for a while. You guys can take your time and eat." With that, he got up and walked out.

"Wait a moment," Mo Fei held onto Li Xiang and asked, "What matter is it that you're in such a hurry to do? Is it Xu Hong? "

As a result, Li Xiang replied: "It's Xu Hong, he found some clues, I need to hurry over there."

Mo Fei understood Li Xiang, and knew that she couldn't stop him. He looked at Li Xiang with deep concern. She said, "Be careful, don't come back too late."

Li Xiang nodded his head, and then left in a hurry.

Li Xiang came to a room on the second floor of a laughing restaurant and saw Xu Hong waiting there. After sitting down, he asked: "How is it? Did you track the location of their rendezvous? Who are they interacting with? "

Xu Hong smiled slightly and said: "You can rest assured that I'll do my job. Following those few people won't be a problem."

After saying that, Xu Hong's face sunk. When Li Xiang saw this, he felt that it was strange, since they had found the contact person, why was it still so low, could it be that something happened in the middle?

Li Xiang asked curiously: "What's wrong? Has something happened? "

Xu Hong looked at the person who gave them the interest and said slowly: "This time, when we meet the big figures, I realized that the people who contacted them were from the military, and may even be officials from some other army."

Hearing that, Li Xiang was shocked, he never thought that the Beijing military region would get involved, this made things even more difficult.

"Are you sure it's someone from the Beijing military?" The interest man asked again.

I followed them to a forest in the suburbs. Although that person hid his car license plate and license plate very well, I still recognized the military SUV back then.

After that, Xu Hong recounted what he saw in detail.
