Xia Xu had just returned from dinner at Luo Hongyun's place when he received a call from Yang Bowen.
His tone was a little hesitant.
"What's the situation? Tell me. Are you still worried about me scolding you?"
Xia Xu asked dumbly.
Yang Bowen said with some uncertainty: "I feel as if someone is always watching me around. I have always had this feeling before, but I didn't find anything when I looked carefully..."
"On the right, four o'clock direction, tree crown, don't turn your eyes directly over, feel if the sense of peeping is coming from there."
Xia Xu understood it as soon as he heard it.
Yang Bowen has a four-star tracking talent and a three-star reconnaissance and intelligence collection. Any one of these talents can make him a first-class investigator. The superposition of each other will naturally make his perception extremely sharp. This is the feeling of Howagner
You exist.
"Hey, it seems really true. How did you know that, boss? It's amazing."
Yang Bowen's surprised voice came from the phone.
"Just pretend it doesn't exist if you discovered it before. There is a dangerous person squatting there, so don't try to contact him yet."
Xia Xu warned.
Yang Bowen was silent for a moment and said: "Boss, that person should be related to your target, right? Don't you need to follow him?"
"It's related, but it's too dangerous. That person is a professional killer."
Xia Xu nodded slightly when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Old Yang, just continue to keep an eye on him in school. I will find a solution for this person myself."
"...Boss, let me go."
Yang Bowen was silent for a moment again, and Xia Xu was slightly startled by what he said.
"you want to go?"
Xia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then his tone slowed down a little: "Old Yang, I know that the werewolf incident last time may have had a big impact on you, but after all, you have a wife and children, and you are not young anymore, so don't take risks.
You won't gain anything by getting involved."
"Boss, you misunderstood."
Yang Bowen on the other end of the phone also shook his head and said frankly: "The werewolf thing did make me very curious, but I didn't get carried away.
It's just...Boss, the reason why you hired me with a high salary is that this is what I should be doing, right?"
"This was indeed considered at the beginning, but it did not refer to such a high-risk mission."
Xia Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this.
His original intention of hiring Yang Bowen was indeed to let Yang Bowen act as an intelligence officer and follow the plot characters.
But at that time, he was mainly thinking about daily urban plots, and he did not expect to run into one high-risk plot after another so quickly.
Werewolves, gun-toting gangsters, mercenaries with technological equipment comparable to Uncle Luo, and now top-level professional killers. For Yang Bowen to follow these high-risk individuals is simply a high-altitude tightrope walk. As long as any trace is discovered, it is
As an ordinary person, he would definitely die.
It would be fine if Yang Bowen was a single man, but he was also the breadwinner of the family with a wife and children. In addition, he was a relatively emotional person, so as we got along with him gradually, he naturally had no intention of sending Yang Bowen to do those truly dangerous tracking missions.
"Boss, I understand that you are concerned about my personal safety, so you don't give me dangerous tasks, but because of this, I have basically been getting paid for nothing these days. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't have the shame to continue working for you.
But now you want me to go back and continue driving the truck, I will definitely not be willing to do so..."
Yang Bowen was actually a little hesitant, but his expression gradually turned firm, and finally said: "Boss, let me try it. I have learned a lot recently."
"Old Yang, I'm not kidding. The other party is a professional top killer, proficient in assassination and infiltration, and is also good at tracking and counter-tracking."
Xia Xu frowned.
"Boss, you also know that I have a wife and children. I don't dare risk my life if I don't have any confidence."
Having made up his mind, Yang Bowen laughed freely.
"Have you really thought it through? Even if you risk your life, you won't get much benefit. The most I can do is give you some financial compensation."
Xia Xu still couldn't understand Yang Bowen's thinking.
In his impression, Yang Bowen is a very family-oriented man, not so adventurous, at least not willing to take the initiative to make fun of his own life when his family is concerned, even if it can bring great benefits.
"Boss, as I just said, after following you and seeing werewolves, I can't be willing to go back to being an ordinary driver, and I can't live my life like I don't know anything.
And I don’t want to waste your salary and wait to die. I hope to really make some achievements, something that my wife and children can be proud of.
I hope that my wife will not be silent and forced to smile when she is having trouble with relatives, neighbors, and I hope that Xiaoyong will look at me with the same admiration as last time, instead of saying that I also want a powerful father..."
Yang Bowen's tone was complicated, he paused for a moment, and then said: "And to be honest, after I learned that there were werewolves in the world last time, besides being curious, I was actually more afraid. I often unconsciously thought of myself, my wife, and my children.
The scene of being attacked by those man-eating monsters.
That kind of feeling makes me feel very powerless all the time. Sometimes I think, instead of maintaining this state of panic, I might as well do something, really step into your circle, boss, to uncover their mysteries, to gain
Something that can make me feel at ease, even if it means asking my boss to protect Xiaoyong and the others for the sake of my work..."
Yang Bowen rambled on.
Xia Xu understood that Lao Yang was actually not persuading him, but persuading himself.
This is an ordinary person who steps out of his comfort zone to engage in a life-threatening and high-risk profession. It is not so easy to make up his mind with a slap on the head and unlimited courage.
At this moment, he also understood that Lao Yang was still the same Lao Yang from beginning to end. His obsession was still the simple and pure hope that his wife and children could be proud of him. Now it was mixed with fear and contact.
The fear of seeing unknown things and the other side of the world.
Of course, there are actually some factors in this that are caused by his own imagination that deceived him into lameness.
Werewolves are indeed a great threat to ordinary people, but at present, the probability of being hit by ordinary people should be very small. Lao Yang simply has no sense of security in his heart, so he thought that instead of being worried and frightened 'outside the door',
It's better to be brave enough to break in and take the initiative to explore and understand.
There are all kinds of people. Some people will try their best to avoid fear, while others will choose to face and eliminate fear. Lao Yang obviously belongs to the latter.
"Lao Yang, I can't guarantee anything to you. Again, I will at most provide you with some financial compensation. Actually, you don't need to worry too much about the werewolf. It's just a technological creation..."
Xia Xu still chose to tell him clearly and openly.
This time, Lao Yang did not bite his tongue or make blind guesses, but listened carefully and silently. After finishing, he still said: "Boss, I have really decided."
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Hearing this again, Xia Xu simply stopped talking and said directly: "Then get to work. You only need to follow the man in the tree from a distance and grasp his movements in real time. Don't worry about anything else.
"
"okay."
Yang Bowen responded quickly and hung up the phone.
