Chapter 31

  The angel in the eyes

  The black private commercial jet of the Tai family, piloted off the runway with the snow, rose to cloudy sky, and disappeared in the horizon not long later, flew to the general hospital of the federal First Military Region, which is located on the southwest area of the Capital District.

  On the parking apron, those working staffs of the Tai family saw their master and their direct commanding officers off, then they breathed out a sigh of relief in succession.

  The first day of the New Year, the master had already encountered the assassination, the later continuous tense atmosphere, finally along with the leaving of this plane, became a bit more relaxed.

  A middle-aged female working staff, at this moment, then dared to come forward, and bent over her body, began to pick up from the ground those several document paper, which were thrown down by the angry Charlie Tai. Charlie Tai had his reason and qualification to get angry, but these working staffs couldn’t let these internal materials have the possibility to be flowed out.

  Sheilor had already been in the hospital for too many days, although he was still weak, but he didn’t have any sleepiness.

  The TV in the room was turned on, it was broadcasting the advertising. He felt somewhat bored, he still couldn’t contact with Shielding, and Charming also couldn’t come over to here, the people of the Tai family were outside of the ward at this time, nobody would come in to disturb his rest.

  He picked up couple paper by the side of his waist, and began to read, but who knew that just in one glance, then he couldn’t move his eyes away anymore.

  This was the thing which Miss Jane Sue left in the ward unintentionally, it looked like that those examination questions should be the simulation exercises for the university entrance.

  Sheilor calculated the age in his mind, Jane Sue should be just seventeen years old today, and it was also the ending time of the federal general education… but he just could never think of, the federal national idol incredibly would be also same as the normal people, had the hard review, and then attended the university entrance exam. With Jane Sue’s present popularity and the wealth she owned, that should be good enough for her to live the rest of her life happily and leisurely?

  Although Sheilor didn’t take part in the entrance exam, but he had also prepared a very long time for the petty officer exam of the Defense Department at the beginning. He could tell it very easily, this is a set of comprehensive exam paper.

  For the things about the political, economic, history and so on, Sheilor only had read a lot of materials in the library. He didn’t have the systematical learning, so he also didn’t know whether the answers for those questions were right or not…

  But he was very good at the mathematics and the practical physics, he read the exercises and questions one by one on the paper. He was slightly surprised to find out, unexpectedly, Jane Sue’s answers didn’t have anyone wrong, the more important thing was, those solving process and train of thought, which were written by the side of the questions, were so clear.

  Turned to the last page of the test paper, Sheilor was somewhat shocked to scratch his head with his left hand, and he then knew, what Jane Sue was ready to apply for should be the command department of the First Military Academy.

  However, there was still a paper under the test paper, there were some structure and power drawings, it looked like that it should be the power supply and power transmission drawing for a certain large equipment. The topic requested the participant to find out several mistakes on this power design, and tried to give the better solution to this design, which could let the power output improve more than three percent.

  It’s blank under the topic. Sheilor looked at this question, his professional habit began to play again, and he began to have all kinds of virtual pipelines reset in his mind seriously.

  The fascinated Sheilor, didn’t hear the intensive footsteps earlier, until Charlie Tai pushed the door open, then he saw his arrival. The steward took over the coat which Charlie Tai took off, very sincere but full of grateful to give a ritual to the in the hospital bed Sheilor, and then backed out of the ward, closed the door, left the space to these two just had the adversity together young men.

  “All my body only the left arm still can move.” Sheilor was somewhat difficult to turn his head, took a look at Charlie Tai, and said with a smile. In the attack of a military mecha, Sheilor not only survived, but also saw the guy who he saved was in good condition as well, he felt the joy in his heart.

  Charlie looked at the in the hospital bed Sheilor calmly, didn’t know what he was thinking in the heart. After a moment, he opened his mouth and said suddenly, “saying thank you is really a vulgar thing… but this thanks always still need to be said, thank you.”

  Sheilor had a smile, but he didn’t say anything.

  “But your luck is really not bad, unexpectedly in that kind of hopeless situation, you were saved by Jane Sue.” Charlie Tai said with a smile, “since she is your idol, didn’t you ask her for a signature or something?”

  Sheilor was in a daze for a moment, and then he said with the regret slightly, “how could I forget about this thing?”

  Arrived the general hospital on the southwest area of the Capital District directly, Charlie Tai had not had the rest, the long flight, let his face get pale a bit more. In the persuasion of Sheilor, Charlie Tai left the ward. It’s presumably that the hospital had already arranged the room for him to rest.

  The ward became quiet again. Sheilor looked at the ceiling quietly, couldn’t help to have a wry smile. He thought, Charlie Tai that little body looked worse than the seriously wounded him, exactly who was visiting the patient?

  But he also knew it clearly, with the status of Charlie Tai, when he knew about his whereabouts, arrived here at the first time, of course it’s not only just for visiting him. The more reasons, it’s some kind of attitude which the other party wanted to express to him. Although that kind of attitude was unspoken generally, but it should be similar to that kind of gratitude in the movies, he would pay him back in the future and so on.

  But the thing made Sheilor feel more complex was, from the mouth of Charlie Tai, he had a rough idea of the truth of the assassination happened in the Coastal gymnasium. Although Charlie Tai didn’t speak it out fully, but he also knew it clearly, this event might be relevant to the federal military… the Tai family seemed to be in favor of the senator Palmer.

  At this time, Sheilor didn’t know at all, this time the senator Palmer could go to the Green Mountain, actually had the great relation with him, all of this shock, originally started from the dancing party of the Bi-Moons festival.

  The ward was quiet once again, Sheilor closed his eyes and rested for a while, but he couldn’t fall into sleep anyway, so he turned up the sound of the TV.

  At this time, the ceaseless advertising on the federal news channel finally was over, that once showed up on the New Year’s eve, reported that good news to the entire federal citizens new anchor, showed up in th elight screen once again.

  The new anchor had the calm expression, and had the slightly fast pacing to report, “today, after attended a large radio astronomy center completed ceremony in the Capital state, the senator Medellin issued a statement.”

  The government administration hall building of the Capital state appeared in the picture, in front of the building, a grey hair and in simple dress old man was saying something in front of the news platform. And by his side, it’s an about forty years old, had the deep eyes, and looked very enterprising officer.

  Sheilor looked at the screen, thought that this old man… was the senator Medellin who Charming was serving for? Somehow, a share of animosity feeling emerged out from his heart. Although he always tended to the four state surrounding the mountains and the anti-government army in the mountains emotionally, and also knew that the senator Medellin held the non-violence principle, greatly promoted the reconciliation between the both parties in the Federa
tion. But once he thought of Charming, Sheilor would wrinkle up his eyebrows.

  Through the introduction of the voice-over, Sheilor then knew that the mighty middle-aged officer by the side of the senator Medellin, was the governor of the Capital state. didn’t know for what reason, this sir governor would issue this announcement with the senator Medellin together, and expressed his support attitude very clearly.

  The senator Medellin pointed it out faintly in the announcement, in the present Federation, it looked like that it’s very peaceful, but actually there was a undercurrent in the surging, and some of the hawks in the military, were trying to interfere, or had already interfered, the peace process between the federal government and the four states surrounding the mountains.

  The senator Medellin strongly condemned these behaviors, and expressed strongly, the senator Palmer just reached the preliminary settlement agreement with the anti-government army of the Green Mountain. At the moment when the sir senator was going to return to the Capital District, any contemptible and dirty means, all would be interpreted as, the challenge to the collective will of all the peace-loving federal citizens.

  And then, the governor of the Capital state also released his announcement, he greatly praised the conscience of the senator Medellin and the senator Palmer these politicians, and criticized the shameless behavior of some people in the federal government.

  Sheilor didn’t know what kind of person of this governor of the Capital state, the class he was in from a child, all the information he could access, couldn’t let him judge what problem appeared in the political upper level from a news, but he still felt some strange.

  He is not a stupid people, even you can say that he is a very smart man. He wrinkled his eyebrows gradually, associated with the assassination which happened in the gymnasium, and then associated with many, many things.

  He shouldn’t get more information from Charlie Tai there. Sheilor silenced for a moment, took out the mobile phone which the working staffs of the Tai family prepared for him, and dialed Shielding’s phone number. But this time, not only nobody answered the phone, but also there came the turnoff voice.

  Sheilor’s mood began to be not tranquil, he felt that something was happening, and it’s not a good thing. He didn’t understand himself this a little potato, why would be involved in these kinds of things, and he just hoped that it wouldn’t have any relationship with the disguise chip which was in his nape.

  A burst of pain pulled him back from the thinking, he frowned and didn’t make a hum. Although the bones of the right thigh were all broken, and there were several gunshot wounds on his body, these all not the ordinary people could bear, but he is not an ordinary people.

  No the ordinary people, of course he wouldn’t have the self-abuse thinking, he used the fingers of the left hand to slowly push the control switch of the electronic anesthesia pump.

  Sheilor was lying on the bed, waiting for the arrival of the drowsiness. Just right at the moment when he was waiting, subconsciously he picked up that last page of Jane Sue’s test paper once again, wanted to solve the problem, to disperse his attention and help himself to get into sleep.

  The effect of the medicine appeared slowly, Sheilor felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the drawing on that paper was getting more and more fuzzy as well, one drawing became two, sometimes overlapped, sometimes separated, and wafted around.

  Why the drawing in front of his eyes looked different… from that drawing on the paper? Sheilor had a flicker of doubt flashed in his mind, that drawing closer to his eyes, seemed that somewhere had been changed… well, the change seemed very reasonable on here, but the change made no any sense over there, there shouldn’t be no reason to put this transistor in this line…

  Sheilor suddenly discovered the strange, suddenly he had the cold sweat on his forehead, the fingers of left hand trembled slightly, and reached to the control switch of the electronic anesthesia pump.
