Chapter 218 Chapter 216 Investigation

"Naike, I'm so unjust! Wuwuwu...she not only deducted my money, but also spanked me! Wuwuwu..."

Meteor curled up on the sofa, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and cried hard. Although Zhuang Xuteng thinks there is no problem with deducting money due to inaccurate information, but is spanking a bit too much? This is not a lesson to one's own children. Isn't it a bit insulting for a middleman to grab the intelligence officer's butt and spank him?

"If you hit her wrong, you can hold a grudge against her for a while. When Lucy makes a mistake, you can hit her back."

"Then you mean, it's just right for her to deduct my money?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He needed Meteor to get into the working mode of an intelligence officer as soon as possible, and he couldn't let her continue to show her childish temper here. "Serious errors in intelligence should be punished. Fortunately, you discovered their trap at the last moment this time. Otherwise, what would have happened to you if we had gone to the Four Seasons Hotel together? Think about it! We are lucky to be able to come back alive. "

"I...I was indeed deceived by them. But...but there are two intelligence officers there. I am only one person. I can't beat four hands with two fists."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "Although what you said is the reality, it cannot be used as an excuse. Brother Dao and I faced an entire building of enemies. Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is the normal state of mercenaries - we always We are on the side with fewer people, and the reason why we can still win is because of accurate intelligence.”

"Naike... I understand everything you said. I just want you to comfort me." Meteor wiped away his tears and said, "I know I was wrong and I will change it. I'm just sad."

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng stretched out his hand, touched Meteor's head, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry for a while. I'll be here with you, and I won't leave. In addition, I'll tell you something that can help you calm down quickly. method."

"any solution?"

"While crying, think about how you were wronged this time, and then think about whether you can use this method to trick others. For example, when you get spanked on the butt, you can imagine the scene of Lucy being spanked. ...Why are you shaking?"

"Spank her? I don't dare think about it at all..." Meteor shook his head and said: "But you are right about one thing. The information trap set up by Carter Ross and his intelligence officer this time is very powerful, and some of the technical methods in it are very powerful. Interesting...cunning, deceitful, and clever at the same time.”

"You can learn to protect yourself."

"I have learned it, but I can't use it unless I continue to improve my information processing capabilities and replace it with a stronger implant so that one of my brains can exert the power of two brains. But only companies have such implants. , specially assigned to the exploration team scouts," Meteor sighed and said.

"Who doesn't want better implants? I also want to be like the senior manager of the company's business development department, who can punch a building in half. Sometimes I think about the power gap and it really scares me."

Meteor tilted his head and said: "Are you really afraid? I know you borrowed the commission of the senior inspector to have an affair with the company manager. Although he is not a senior manager, he is also a super thug in the company. Aren't you afraid? Originally, that The mission is for the Famine Stranger. He is strong enough to handle it, but it is too difficult for you and Brother Dao. What do you think? Because the Famine Stranger is too busy, Lucy originally wanted to give up the task. I just said it to scare you, how dare you take over?”

"Was it originally prepared for Master?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and suddenly smiled. He said: "Our ability has not caught up with Master, but the difficulty of taking on tasks has caught up. But I never thought of relying on him from the beginning. To accomplish that mission in a head-on battle, we can only rely on outsmarting him and using some cunning strategies. Meteor, can you help me find out something?"

Meteor blinked and did not agree directly, but asked him to tell him what he wanted to do first. So Zhuang Xuteng told Meteor his analysis, and the information she was asked to investigate was also the relationship between the senior inspector and his family.

After listening, Liuxing asked Zhuang Xuteng to give her time to think. After more than ten minutes, Meteor said: "Nike, your idea is very interesting, and the difficulty is much lower than directly investigating the PCPD inspector or the business development manager. I can do this job. But I have to complete Lucy's work first. I can only help you investigate when I have some free time. There are a lot of things going on recently, so this time will definitely be postponed. "

"Huh? Are you going to help me for free during the investigation in your spare time? No, that's not what I meant. This is not what I came to you for help. I want to ask you, is my idea correct? From the perspective of the entrusted task, what can I do? Is it done this way?”

"I think your idea is quite good. As for what Lucy thinks, I don't know." Meteor tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Generally speaking, the tasks assigned by the middleman are well planned. Will accept mercenaries to modify the mission content. Although your idea is good, it changes the main content of the commissioned mission."

"Has it been changed?"

"It has indeed changed." Meteor said: "I have investigated this commission and know that its purpose is to change the inspector's position - but this is at the level of a middleman. For a mercenary, your task is just to get the Actual evidence of his affair. Lucy just told you the ultimate purpose of the mission, which doesn't usually happen."

"You think she made a mistake?"

"There have been a lot of things going on recently, and she did make mistakes in this matter. I also made mistakes, even bigger. Alas, the main reason is that there are too many things outside and I am under a lot of pressure."

"But Brother Dao and I have been busy framed up recently, and we haven't done many serious commissions-except for the three of us to assassinate the intelligence officer." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "The mercenaries are not busy either. , I don’t understand where the pressure is.”

"The pressure is not that the work is not easy to do, but that it is not easy to carry out the work. To put it bluntly, the pressure on PCPD is only superficial. The greater pressure comes from the company, especially Scarlet Company."

Scarlet Company, my old employer? Zhuang Xuteng asked what was going on.

"Scarlet Company has a large shareholding ratio in the TV station. After the TV station was attacked, it believed that the PCPD's model of cooperation with middlemen could not guarantee the company's interests in Peicheng. It suggested that more localized and grassroots forces should be introduced. Everyone believed that It refers to gangs, like the Bloodbats."

"Isn't this nonsense! The Blood Bat Gang will only make Peicheng more chaotic and make life difficult for everyone. How can it be successful as a company? Can its factories and stores in Peicheng make money with peace of mind?"

"This is the weird part of the matter. Most of the middlemen think that Scarlet Company is just asking for high prices and waiting to pay back the money on the spot, but Lucy is very stubborn. She thinks that Scarlet Company is not just joking, and there must be something behind it. . As a result, Lucy is under a lot of pressure from the company, and she needs to consider more things, which greatly increases her operating costs. Well, I don’t think I should tell you this.”

"It's okay for you to tell me this. I won't reveal it, and I won't add insult to injury. I think Lucy is generally a good middleman. The only drawback is that she can't share the pressure when she's under great pressure. "I always think of taking it on my own," Zhuang Xuteng said to Meteor, "Tell Lucy what I told you, especially the matter of investigating the inspector's family. If she thinks this method is good and it is necessary, then. Just treat it as part of this commission.”

"Okay, I'll tell her, and I won't have any worries anymore."

"Follow the rules and everyone will be relaxed." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Meteor and said, "Are you busy now? If you have free time, how about I take you to get a haircut?"

"Um...ok!" Meteor nodded vigorously and said, "I'm no longer worried that you won't care about me anymore after you finish what you promised me, so of course I want you to accompany me to do my hair!"

"You silly sister..." Zhuang Xuteng touched Meteor's head and felt that she was lonely and pitiful.

Only when he went to the barber shop did Zhuang Xuteng realize that Meteor's hair was all fake. In order to provide a good heat dissipation environment for the intelligence spying skull implant, the skin of Meteor's head is also an implant, and the hair is all a wig that comes with the implant. She couldn't have her hair styled, not even braids. All she could do was ask the hairdresser to freshen her up a bit, then trim the edges neatly and make bangs out.

In terms of workload, Meteor didn't bother with anything, but she was still very happy. Zhuang Xuteng bought her an ice cream cone and treated her to a meal outside. It's not that Zhuang Xuteng is stingy, but that Meteor is very scared in crowded and empty places, and he can't hold on any longer. Apart from this, taking the kids shopping (dating) this time was a great success.

After returning home, Meteor informed Lucy of Zhuang Xuteng's thoughts and plans, which made her reconsider the entire plan. Lucy admits to Shooting Star that it is more feasible to investigate the relationship between the inspector and his family, which does reduce a lot of risks. She will suspend Naike and Brother Dao's commission until the investigation is completed.

"Actually, the easier way is to kill all the people who are in the way. As long as I meet that inspector, he will immediately change and either support our middlemen in Peicheng or die." Meteor sighed and said, "You You are always timid, why should you keep those obstacles? Clean them up early.”

"Why do you have a killer temperament? Always thinking about killing people and silencing them? The current situation is turbulent. Killing him can certainly solve some problems, but we don't know what the position of the person who replaces him will be. I can only say now, if It is certain that there will be a candidate who will be our replacement. The inspector is already...not necessarily dead, but his physical condition is definitely not suitable to continue to perform his current duties."

Meteor sighed and said, "It's really troublesome! Can't you speed up the process as middlemen?"

"There is no way. If you don't have an absolute advantage in strength, you must not be reckless. What, you want to learn to be a middleman?"

"No, don't stare at me, I don't have that idea at all! You must stop nagging. I still have a lot of work here - you arranged it - I will do it now!"

Meteor himself didn't want to be a middleman, and Lucy actually had no intention of training her to be a middleman. In addition to her unsuitable personality, her inability to go out has ruled out the possibility of becoming an intermediary.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Xuteng seems to have the potential to become a middleman, and Lucy can easily point out many of his advantages. Especially this time regarding the task of senior inspector, Zhuang Xuteng was able to think independently and find new entry points. This was already thinking from the perspective of a middleman, which was very rare for a mercenary.

Not only did I think about it, but I thought about it very well, which is a better way to solve the problem. It would be great if this idea could appear half a month in the morning. Lucy would definitely let them proceed with the new idea. It’s just that the layout has been completed and it’s now in the implementation stage. The senior inspector's line must either produce results immediately or leave him alone to avoid adding unnecessary fuss. In fact, there is no time to make any further adjustments.

"Actually, I can think of the same thing, but... Naike is right, I am in a bad state." Lucy took off the mask and rubbed the skin of her face with both hands. The old scars hurt slightly under the pressure of her palms, which made her more and more sober. After a while, she put on the mask again and reviewed the plan to be implemented without saying a word. At this critical period, no more mistakes can be made.

Zhuang Xuteng was not surprised at all by the decision to postpone the commissioned action. He immediately called to inform Ge Gongdao. Dao Ge said that this matter was within his expectations, and asked Zhuang Xuteng to make time to find him in four days, and the two of them would go to see a training system together.

"What training system?" Zhuang Xuteng expressed curiosity.

"The deer hunting experience system is a toy for the rich. It allows you to experience the feeling of hunting sika deer with a bow and arrow in a dense forest."

"What is in the dense forest? Sika deer are so cute, why do you need to... do you want to learn bows and arrows? The shooting speed of that thing is not as good as my direct throwing with my arms."

"You can modify it when you bring it back - as long as it is in good condition." Ge Gongdao said: "I just heard the news and am verifying the details. I heard that a rich man had a problem with capital turnover, so he disposed of some unused assets. Yachts, sports cars and the like are useless to us, but this thing has great potential."

"Since you said so, then count me in. How much money do you need me to prepare?"

"Let me ask again. There will be an auction, and the specific rules are not clear yet. But there is a psychological price for taking things. If it exceeds the bonus we earned this time, it will not be worth it."

Within 160,000, Zhuang Xuteng can afford this money, but he doesn't know how effective the training system will be. However, Zhuang Xuteng believed in Dao Ge's vision and judgment, and they both had the same level of supercomputing martial arts, Four Flashes, and had the same level of understanding on how to continue training and improvement.

"I will keep the money here. By the way, Dao Ge, how is the otter matter going?"

"So far, there is no good news." Ge Gongdao obviously hesitated for a moment, and then said on the phone: "Let's talk about it when we meet, I still need to continue investigating."
