The real horror of war is not in the battlefield, but in the sad tranquility before and after the battlefield.

This famous quote from a certain imperial sage has always been the motto of Xue Chuqing Mecha Company. According to Li Qingdong's personal understanding, the meaning of these words can also be extended to the mecha company, the truly outstanding product is not the moment of birth, but the efforts before and after the birth.

These months have been.

Based on the behind-the-scenes boss of Xue Chuqing's company, as well as the small energy valve invented by enriching the knowledge of engineering energetics without sticking to the form, after being named "Snow Crystal", it was easy to pass the certification and patent registration of the engineering society, and under the recommendation of a certain sage named Cameron, it entered the private custom list of many famous engineering masters in the star area, although it was not sold on the market for a while, but it was well-known in the top engineering circles of the star region.

It's just that in the end, the "Snow Crystal" energy valve that has attracted the attention and discussion of the upper engineering community in the Milan Star Zone, but the creator of Zào has always been an unrevealed mystery.

At this moment, Lin Hai is routinely going to the star branch of Wayne Company to report, during this time, although there are many difficulties within Wayne's company and family, but for him, he is not in a state of worry. The first is the Outlands, where the Zoe family is successfully controlled by Raidier, establishing a kind of contractual relationship that "cannot see the light", and along with this relationship, the Zoe family provides the rare raw materials they have in exchange for the tobacco provided by Raidier. And Lin Hai used the anonymity of "Lord Pandora" to provide the current crumbling Wayne Enterprise with raw materials that the Zoe family could never supply, and maintained the family that was now down and would never benefit him.

At first glance, it seems to be a bit complicated, but in fact, it is a means of Lin Hai's temporary plan. Since the Imperial Magna Carta, which amended the ban on smoking, the illegal manufacture, sale and smuggling of tobacco has been a crime. Although it was a zhōngyāng order, it was sent to the local area, but it evolved into a lot of loose policies. The various star regions of the empire have always banned tobacco, and they also understand that this kind of thing cannot be banned by the really powerful and powerful people, and the high interests involved involve many complex joints.

It's just that once this kind of behavior is made public, even the riverside star Zhao family will not be spared. Therefore, many big forces involved in such interests are quite secretive and will not leave anyone to handle, such as the Zoe family. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhao family was broken into by Lin Hai and broken through the number of libraries by David, who claimed to be the greatest artificial intelligence life in history, and intercepted the location of those asteroid tobacco bases, the Zhao family would not have collapsed.

Of course, this is the embodiment of a strength, just as the law can only sanction ordinary people, and for the nobles and privileged classes who are above the laws of the empire, it is an alternative kind of existence. And the existence of the imperial smoking ban also restricts most of the unqualified forces, and the really powerful forces naturally understand how to avoid the eyes and ears of the smoking ban and enter the chain of interests of this cake. The Zoe family has the ability and channels to sell tobacco, and Lin Hai uses tobacco to obtain the resources controlled by the Zoe family, for him, there is no so-called psychological obstacle to transgressing the law. On the junk star, one of the truths that Lin Hai understands is that the truth in the universe is very important, but even if there is a reason, it still needs strength to make the truth work.

Without the support of strength, it will always be a gorgeous skin without a skeleton.

The empire did not want ordinary forces to trade tobacco, and simply because of the anti-smoking amendments, only a few tobacco giants supported by the great nobility were authorized to sell regular tobacco to citizens over the age of twenty-one who had certificates throughout the empire. The huge profits generated by tobacco are only in the hands of those few big nobles, and the rest of the smugglers are just drinking soup from their mouths. Although the benefits of this soup are considerable enough.

Of course, compared to tobacco, those hallucinogens that are rampant in the Fallen Star Fields are things that are absolutely forbidden by the Empire, and long-term ingestion of tobacco will slow down the damage to health, but due to people's needs, this thing will also circulate secretly, and the Empire will also have a formal place that can be purchased with a license. But hallucinogens, commonly known as "black goods", rely on xìng drug preparations, which are absolutely untouchable. Even the power of the great nobles would never dare to touch it. The Zhao family's kind of smuggling of tobacco, more than a dozen asteroid factories, even if they are exposed, will be notorious at most and sentenced to decades in prison. But if it is sold to make phantom nerve poison, then it is an ironclad capital crime to make an example of death.

Of course, in order to avoid the consequences of his notoriety, as well as the fear of some behind-the-scenes force, Zhao Jing also shot himself in prison after hearing the death of his two sons. And the pistol that somehow avoided supervision and circulated to the famous "Storm Island" prison in the star region, and the pistol that came to Zhao Jing's hand, and the ghost fleet that slaughtered Zhao Jing's two sons' fleet, are still a shadow to this day.

Leave that alone.

Tian Fatzi's appearance in the star area was unexpected by Lin Hai, and what was even more unexpected was his old friendship with Jiang Zhi, which could explain the origin of the seven actions, and because of this, Lin Hai and Lu Ming had a fight, and since then, Lu Ming seemed to be honest all of a sudden, but it seemed to be deliberate, Lin Hai always disappeared from him whenever he talked to Tian Fatzi in the ancient castle. However, according to Tian Fatzi's tone, Lu Ming listened to Professor Tian's seven actions humbly on the first day he came out of the hospital after the compulsory examination in the hospital. It seems that the battle with Lin Hai finally put away the arrogance, but he probably still has a pimple in his heart, so every time Lin Hai comes to the castle to meet Tian Fatzi, he leaves early, and it seems that he does not give Lin Hai a chance to meet face-to-face...... It seems that he doesn't want to give Lin Hai a chance, so he forces him to call him "senior brother".

However, Lin Hai didn't expect this, and he didn't intend to bear this kind of title, it was just an oath made in return to Lu Ming's stinky fart, just looking at how arrogant and self-respecting the noble children of the five major marquis groups above the Skull Guild he provoked in Qingyuan Academy, he should understand that Lu Ming, the descendant of the number one nobleman in the Milan Star Zone, is only arrogant and not inferior to those noble children in his heart.

Of course, Lin Hai didn't buy his account, if Lu Ming dared to rap and provoke him in front of him next time, he wouldn't mind beating him into the hospital again, even if it was in exchange for the wrath of a round-table aristocratic family behind him.

It's just that based on the punch of the duel with Lu Ming, Lin Hai's whole body is comfortable. All the depression of some time ago seems to be completely happy and comfortable after that war.

Tian Fatzi based on the seven actions on the top of the award of the killing move, also let him understand, it seems that from it, groping to understand a lot of previously indescribable truths, the so-called "zero and one", is a kind of destruction of the opponent's balance, so that the opponent's grasp of the fighter loses judgment, and then grasp the initiative on the battlefield, forcing the opponent to expose the weakest flaws, so as to let himself enter the strongest state, attack the opponent's weakest move.

This is the first of the three major kills. At first glance, it sounds simple, but in reality, it's very simple. To truly comprehend and grasp it, it is even more difficult, Lin Hai is to understand this kind of mystical truth, just as Tian Fatzi's judgment, Lin Hai's talent will also make him more jīng on top of this, go further.

That punch also seemed to make Lin Hai figure out a lot of things. For example, families.

The Lin family ignored his mother and son back then, but in fact, in today's situation, letting the Lin family collapse, it seems that if he does this, it will not be an unacceptable thing.

But in fact, Lin Hai knows very well that what he wants to see is not the destruction of the Lin family, not to mention, this family has an inevitable blood relationship with him, if it is divided and broken up by other forces, this is also his family, why let others laugh and use knives and forks to cut meat and enjoy the benefits?

What the family should have given to his mother, what he took from his mother, he now wants to take it back as a son, and override the ridiculous family notions and rules of honor and disgrace back then.

Now he is in the Lin family, because of the aura of the academy, and Xia Ying's very relationship with some time ago, he has become a special person for a while, and he looks inferior to the rest of the family, not to mention Lin Wei, even those managers and senior managers play a greater role than him in this crisis moment. However, as the "designer of the rotor engine", he has become a signboard to stabilize the hearts of the family, playing a positive role in giving the inside and outside a positive façade of "up and down together" in some meetings that require the participation of family members.

Now Lin Hai is very "consciously" fulfilling his "mission", and when he arrived at the branch of Wayne Company, he saw a long-lost person.

Lewis, who was all dark, had a sunny smile and dazzling white teeth. appeared in front of him with Li An, but instead of bowing, he gave a standard military salute, "Young Master"

Lin Hai could hear the sincerity in his tone this time. It's not as contemptuous as it was before when it was to look at a gentleman.

Lewis's eyes in front of this young man were completely different from before, and only those who knew him well understood that such a look would only appear in Lewis's military career when facing that heroic superior. And after he had retired from the battle in which more than half of his group had been killed, there had never been such a look in his eyes, as if life had lost some meaning, and he had lived a life of drunkenness and idleness, and he would not have entered the house of an earl nobleman who was responsible for the unruly work of protecting illegitimate children had it not been for the immediacy of his hands and the strong recommendation of a friend who respected him.

But now after being discharged from the hospital, Lewis, who was born in the special forces of Jīng, faced Lin Hai, and his eyes were no longer as floating as before, but more and more radiant.

"You're back?" Thinking of Lewis's indefatigable protection of himself at that time, Lin Hai had a headache, is it still like this now?

Lewis shrank his head and clenched his fist and beat his chest, "Private Lewis, come to report"

Months have passed, and Lewis is in the hospital, and he has not heard all kinds of news about Lin Hai. It was the time when he was attacked by a suicide bomb, the Zhao family held a feast to celebrate, Lewis was lying on the hospital bed, and he watched this aristocratic young master who did not need his protection at all walk out of the ward, and made a big fuss about the Zhao family's heavily guarded mansion that night, bringing back evidence of a fatal blow to the Zhao family.

Now Lewis, how can he really think that the young man in front of him is a stubborn son who does not understand the world?

Seeing Lewis with his head held high, Lin Hai was puzzled, "I heard that the earl gave you a high amount of compensation, if it is not extravagant, you can use this money to live a good life for ten years...... Why did you refuse and be willing to take a modest salary to be my bodyguard? I'm not in a very high value situation like I used to be, so the family pays you only one-tenth of what it used to be. ”

Lin Hai was in a state of being threatened at that time, and Lewis, who was temporarily hired, received a high salary of nearly 20,000 pounds a month, which was also an important reason for attracting Lewis, who was struggling with money at that time. Now that Lin Hai was in a situation where he could not arrange bodyguards, Lewis proposed to defend it, and the family would only pay a salary of two thousand pounds. But Lewis, a tactician who had retired from high-level special forces, actually agreed.

Lewis peeled off his coat, revealing a stocky, muscular body with healing shrapnel scratches under only a vest. He smiled mockingly at Lin Hai, who was long and well-proportioned and contrasting, "Because I'm worried, if I encounter the next bomb attack, will you be able to resist it with just your small body?" ”

In the next family meeting, the tall dark-skinned man who stood behind Lin Hai and carried his hands from beginning to end naturally made Lin Hai a very eye-catching presence at the family meeting. Just such a terrifying black man acting as a bodyguard is enough to overwhelm people in terms of momentum. Lewis is a tactical expert, and no one knows how valuable a tactical expert is, which is enough to make the patriarchs in the family who are more or less escorted by bodyguards when they travel. From the point of view of strength level, Lewis's strength alone is enough to surpass those guards hired by the patriarch of the family. And at the critical juncture of the Lin family now, everyone is in danger, and safety has naturally become the primary consideration of many people, how can Lewis's strength not make them envious, and most importantly, with his level, even compared with the masters around the Speaker of the Star District, he is not weak at all.

Such a person actually made a person who was willing to receive a meager salary to serve as a bodyguard for an illegitimate child, although this illegitimate child is a little special, but you must know that this bodyguard has only experienced a bomb attack, and often after cultivating well, many people who do this line of work avoid it, what charm does Lin Hai have that makes people willing to follow? In their eyes, it is incredible.

And in the whole scene, I am afraid that only Earl Lin Wei knows the whole story of this strange thing that everyone can't see through. Whether it is gratitude or sympathy, after Lewis was injured, the well-known killer killed the star on the riverside, Lin Hai entered the Zhao family's mansion alone and dug up the evidence that broke the foundation of the Zhao family, and the total number of factors boiled down, which may be the reason why Lewis is willing to stay.

This also made Lin Wei a little worried, although Lin Hao was the future head of the family and the limited heir to the family business, but in terms of pure courage and ability, if Lin Hai had any strange ideas in the future, Lin Hao would not be able to resist at all...... This thought was dispelled by Lin Wei again, after all, this is what he owes to their mother and son, if Lin Hai plans to take anything back from the family, this is probably also the way it should be...... It's just that if that day really comes, Lin Hai really plans to take away what belongs to him, then he, Lin Wei, must at least start laying out from now on and think of a way out for Lin Hao, at least ...... Let Lin Hai leave one of this brother's lives.

Because Lin Hao was too impulsive and refused to admit defeat, if there was a big conflict after rì, he couldn't help but go to the extreme...... Forcing Lin Hai to do it, this will be the great sorrow of the old earl's final defeat of the zìyóu family business that was torn from the lily nobleman......

I just hope that these are better not to happen.

But in the face of Lin Hai, who even his father couldn't grasp, Earl Lin Wei really didn't have any certainty. One can only hope for an uncertain future.

At the end of the meeting, people dispersed, and in the corridor, the earl and Lin Hai walked side by side, saying, "The family is in trouble, but some people are willing to fall, and others are so indifferent, but as the son of the earl, Lin Hao also numbs himself with wine all day long, and messes with a few cousins who don't talk to him, what does this look like...... Yesterday I slapped him, his negative energy disappeared for two days, I know where he is, you are his brother, you go and bring him back. ”

An hour later, there is another chapter.
