At the end of the country road was a village, and it was half an hour later when I saw it. This place is no longer within the boundaries of White Deer Town, it is very remote, and Xia Lei has never been here.

A Shiba Inu barked at the Chevrolet Suburban SUV dog of Xia Lei, looking very vicious. Xia Lei pressed the handful, and it fled. Ahead, Yelena rode on a battery bike on a smaller road that opened up a hillside. Xia Lei couldn't drive up this road. He got out of the car and climbed up on foot.

Yelena still didn't stop, and she quickly disappeared into the tree-lined path. Xia Lei climbed up about a few hundred meters and saw a small farm yard. There are several blue-tiled houses, a courtyard wall, and behind the house is a dense bamboo forest, and further away is a denser mountain forest.

The courtyard door of the small farm yard is closed, and the paint on the door panel is about to fall off, black, white, and red, but the colors are not bright, and there is a sense of dilapidation that has been blowing and raining for decades. Xia Lei walked over, didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door open, because he had already seen the situation behind the courtyard gate.

In the courtyard, Yelena was standing behind a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a black and yellow face, a pair of big hands full of calluses, and looked like an authentic peasant. But Xia Lei knew that he was not a farmer, he was his father Xia Changhe. His father, Xia Changhe, like Yelena, wore a human skin mask on his face.

Xia Lei couldn't help but smile. He was also worried that he would not find his father Xia Changhe, but he didn't expect that when he wanted to see him, he would appear. Every time.

"Dad, have you always lived here?" Xia Lei closed the courtyard door and walked up.

Xia Changhe opened his arms and hugged Xia Lei in his arms, he patted Xia Lei's back twice hard, and then said: "The FA organization and the CIA are chasing me all over the world, where is the safest? Of course, Huaguo." The last time you came back from Germany, I fell in love with this place. The owner of the house moved into the city, and this place they didn't want anymore, so I rented it. This place is very close to you, and if you have any problems, I can come to your aid as soon as possible. ”

"I didn't expect you to be by my side. Xia Lei couldn't help but smile.

Yelena said: "I usually operate in White Deer Town when I am fine, and collect your intelligence. Your father and I know pretty much what's going on over there. Otherwise, how do you think I'm here at this time today? ”

"You already know what's going on?" said Xia Lei, with a somewhat surprised look.

Yelena suddenly put her finger in her mouth and whistled loudly.

Xia Lei suddenly realized something, and turned to look in the direction of the courtyard gate. The door panel disappeared from his left eye, and he saw a young man in a security uniform walking towards him with a package. To his surprise, the package was the one given to him by Xia Xue, and he didn't take it down at all when he went up the mountain just now. Then, his gaze fixed on the young man's face, and he was suddenly stunned.

That young man was actually a security guard at the Reimaa Arsenal, Lu Sheng's subordinate. Shalei remembered his name, his name was Erdemutu, and he was a Mongolian. When the Leima Military Factory expanded the security team, it was given priority because of the experience of being discharged from the army. But I didn't expect that it was such an ordinary wage earner, and he would actually appear in front of him in this way!

Erdemutu pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and when he saw Xia Lei, he lowered his head and said with a ashamed expression: "Xia Dong, I'm sorry...... I do things for your father. ”

Xia Lei smiled bitterly, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.

Fortunately, it is for his father Xia Changhe, if it is for the FA organization or the CIA, it will be bad.

Erdemutu handed the package to Xia Changhe's hands.

Xia Changhe opened it and looked at it a few times, then sneered, "They finally used me to threaten you, it seems that whether it is the FA organization or the CIA, their patience has been polished by you." ”

"This package was sent by Gookewen, and I suspect she's now a double agent, ostensibly the CIA's Asia director, but she's actually working for the FA's Night Mosa," Charley said. At the beginning, Long Bing killed Gu Kewen in Japan, and Ye Mosha took her body. Gu Kewen is resurrected, and the person who saves her can only be Night Mosa. ”

Xia Changhe glanced at Erdemutu and said, "You go down and look outside." ”

Erdemutu nodded, turned and left the farmhouse.

Xia Lei then said: "Dad, is he reliable?"

Xia Changhe said: "If he was not reliable, he would have died a long time ago." I knew him more than a decade ago, when he was nine years old. His mother was seriously ill and his father broke his leg on the construction site. I paid for his mother to be cured and to sponsor him to go to school. Every winter, I would go to Mongolia and train him myself. ”

Xia Lei couldn't help but glance at Yelena, Yelena is not the Russian version of Erdemutu, it seems that his father Xia Changhe is very good at cultivating his own strength in this way.

"Dad, how many more people like this do you have?" asked Xia Lei, curious about this.

Xia Changhe said: "Twelve." I don't need a team of dozens or hundreds of people, I just need a team that is always elite, a team that can handle any task. They are spread all over the world, and they come and go as soon as they are called. They were all trained by me myself, but they all have their own areas of expertise. I can say that they are all people I have carefully selected. The one who just left, his code name is - Tiger. ”

Xia Lei suddenly felt that his father was really a hidden old shark!

Xia Changhe stepped aside and pointed at Yelena, "Her code name is Chicken." ”

"Chicken?" Xia Lei couldn't imagine that Yelena was such a code name for his father.

"Rats, oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs. Xia Changhe said: "Their code name is one of the twelve zodiac signs, and the one killed by Liang Siyao is a pig." ”

Charley couldn't forget the woman, her name was Evgenia. In Haizhu, Liang Siyao killed her with a sniper rifle. At that time, she was being revealed to him Liang Siyao's true identity.

"Evgenia is dead. After a pause, Xia Lei said, "Is there anyone to take her place?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Who?"

Xia Changhe smiled, "I'll keep her secret for the time being, but you'll definitely know when it's time for you to know." You have to remember that this zodiac team is the only gift that I can get my hands on as a father. Now, I give you this team, and from now on, they will be at your command. ”

Xia Lei was stunned on the spot.

He knows very well that the reason why his father Xia Changhe was able to survive the global hunt organized by the CIA and FA is that this zodiac team plays a very key role. Also, his father Xia Changhe can grasp intelligence from all over the world, which is undoubtedly the role of this zodiac team. This zodiac team was his amulet, and now he gave it to him.

A father's love is like a mountain. Xia Lei's eyes were already slightly moist, "Dad, you give me the team you worked so hard to build, what are you going to do?"

Xia Changhe sighed, "You came out to find me in such a hurry, can I still not know your thoughts? You have built so many credits, isn't it just to exchange for a peace for me, a old age where I can take my grandson to the park? I'm old, and it's time to get out of the firing line." But your path has just begun, and this zodiac team can help you. ”

You can't hide anything from your father, an old shark is an old shark.

"Dad, do you agree?"

"I don't agree, isn't it in vain that you have paid so much? Xia Xue's girl is afraid that she is about to forget me, if I don't go home again, I'm afraid she won't recognize me. She's about to marry that kid named Yoo Masao, right? I don't want to miss her wedding. Xia Changhe's eyes were full of tranquility and expectation.

No father wants to miss his daughter's wedding, not even a shark-level father like Xia Changhe.

Xia Lei couldn't help but smile excitedly, "That's fine, I can put it forward to the top, I have paid so much, I just ask for this one, there is no reason why they should not agree to me." ”

Yelena said with some concern: "Then how do you tell those people about your father's identity?"

Xia Lei smiled, "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that he is my father." If they don't promise me, they will repent of their bowels. ”

Xia Changhe said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the FA organization. In the style of the FA organization, they will never send you a package to blackmail you. ”

"They attack, I shoot back, and I'll make them regret it," said Charleigh. This time, I'm going to kill Gu Kewen anyway. ”

"You don't have a decent bodyguard by your side, so you take Yelena with you. She has good marksmanship and is best at clearing potentially dangerous targets. Do you know why her code name is chicken? Chickens can eat bugs hiding in the grass. Xia Changhe said.

Xia Lei looked at Yelena, "Are you willing to follow me?"

The corners of Yelena's mouth twitched slightly, "Because of your father's relationship, I can do anything for you." ”

Xia Lei smiled, "Well, I am missing a secretary by my side, just you." ”

He originally asked the Ministry of Human Resources to recruit a secretary for her, but now that he has Yelena, there is no need to recruit other secretaries.

Xia Changhe said: "You have already met two members of the Zodiac team, and there are ten more that you haven't seen. When my matter is settled, I will gather them together to meet with you. I'm going to announce it in front of them. ”

"Will someone codenamed Pig come?" asked Xia Lei.

Xia Changhe patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will know who she is when the time comes." ”

Xia Lei still couldn't help but guess the identity of the "pig", but unfortunately he couldn't guess it.

"Yelena, you go back with Xia Lei. From now on, you're his man. If you become his secretary, stop hiding your head and tail, and take off your mask. Xia Changhe said.

Yelena didn't say anything, just nodded. Then, she took off the human skin mask from her face, revealing her true face. Blonde and blue-eyed, tall and long-legged, she is sexy, but gives a very dangerous feeling.

Xia Lei also understands that the reason why a dangerous person like Yelena is willing to obey him is, in the final analysis, the reason why his father Xia Changhe is responsible. Although my father "washed his hands of gold", these people would still listen to his orders. Therefore, as long as Daddy is still around, then the members of the Zodiac team will unite around him and listen to his command!

Faced with the threat of the CIA and FA organizations, Xia Lei felt his fist harden for the first time.
