Chapter 44: The Eternal Draw(1/2)

Jiang Baimian quickly helped Shang Jianyao to make up his words:

"We have gained an additional 50 Aures in the investigation."

Forcas, whose nickname is "Lion", nodded:

"Tell me about your investigation process in detail."

He walked back to the desk step by step and sat down.

During this process, he did not ask Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian to find a seat by themselves, just as the other party was just two subordinates who came to report.

It's really not easy to make some money... Jiang Baimian cheered up and started talking about how he and others "meeted" Zhao Yide by chance. He took on this task and talked about waiting for Shen Kui and subdued him. He confirmed that it was really the "anti-intellectualism" who was doing it.

As for how to figure out which ones belong to "strangers" from Zhao Shouren, the manager of the Zhao family, and how to let Shen Kui explain the situation truthfully, and then not take the initiative to expose the fact that he was arrested, Jiang Baimian only vaguely said, "We have some tricks", and was just posing as if we had secrets in this regard.

This is not too rare for many teams of ruins hunters - everyone has the ability to settle down and make a living that cannot be known to outsiders.

Focas raised his hand and touched his chin, and suddenly asked a question:

"Why don't you go to the area near Zhaojia Manor to monitor it, but choose to go further away from there?"

It was indeed the person who came through the sea of ​​blood, and his sense of smell was very sharp... Jiang Baimian replied with a smile:

"We are worried that the 'anti-intellectual Church' will pay special attention to the points around the manor that are easy to monitor."

Forkas pondered for a few seconds, and said with a smile:

"The hunter team that investigated strangers in and out of the manor before was really lucky."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao deeply agreed.

Seeing that General Focas easily noticed the problem he had deliberately raised, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief:

“There is a precedent for ‘Anti-intellectualism’.”

She then roughly told the action planned by the true "father" in Wild Grass City.

After listening quietly, Forkas showed a slightly sarcastic smile:

"Do they want to conspire against me?"

Before Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian answered, he stood up imposingly:

“I really want to see what they want to do.

"Can you recognize all the suspicious 'strangers'?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao answered calmly.

Forkas smiled:

"That's good. Two days later, at 9 o'clock in the morning, we will come here to meet my guards and we will go and catch people directly!"

He didn't seem to worry about stepping on the trap at all.

"Don't you choose a good time?" Shang Jianyao asked back.

Auspicious times are a word in the gray dirt language. Shang Jianyao is speaking the Honghe language and is not sure whether there is an exclusive vocabulary, so he uses "lucky time" to express his meaning.

"Lucky time?" Focas asked in confusion.

"For example, at two o'clock in the morning and three o'clock, when everyone is asleep." Shang Jianyao gave an example.

Forkas laughed:

"No, they are not qualified to be worthy of this treatment."

If you say similar things, there is often no good ending... General, don't be crowed... Jiang Baimian tried hard to distract the topic:

"After participating in this operation, we will receive the corresponding reward?"

While speaking, she glanced over the two guards on duty in the study.

"This is not what I should answer, it is up to your employer," Focas said confidently, "but I think it should be fine."

Before Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao asked again, he sat down a little tiredly:

"You can leave, remember the time."

Shang Jianyao said in surprise:

"Don't you leave us for lunch?"

Forkas looked him up and down a few times, and suddenly laughed:

“Is this the price you pay?

"When the action is successful, I will invite you to the celebration banquet."

"One word is certain!" Shang Jianyao responded with bright eyes.

Then, he and Jiang Baimian left the general's mansion of Forkas and returned to the gray off-road vehicle.

Jiang Baimian looked at the rearview mirror while driving:

"I doubt whether he has blood relationship with you, so I actually chose to go up recklessly."

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his hair:

"It shouldn't be there. If you really need it, you can also have it."

Jiang Baimian immediately laughed:

"You want to inherit his property?"

"I will use his property in a more meaningful place." Shang Jianyao answered sincerely.

Jiang Baimian sneered:

"For example, fill your stomach?"

Before Shang Jianyao could answer, she turned the steering wheel and said seriously:

"At that time, we will definitely not be the main target. Even if something happens, it will be within the range of impact at most, and the danger will not be too high. Well, let Lao Ge put on his cloak and follow him, he is the nemesis of most awakened people."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Focas should be very strong if he is reckless.

"Zhao Zhengqi should have mentioned to him that you are an awakened person, but when he saw us, he only arranged two guards.

"Either the whole house is under the gaze of a strong man, or he is that strong man."

The strong man of that level should not bother to pretend to be a guard and stay in the study, so he could sit next to Fokas openly.

"He is very arrogant." Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion, "but he is okay, he actually agreed to invite us to a big meal afterwards."

Jiang Baimian said "yes" twice, causing the gray off-road vehicle to head to the inspection point in the street in front.

…………

Green Olive District, Labe Street, Ugo Hotel.

Jiang Baimian brought Shang Jianyao back here and asked the boss about the latest situation:

"Did there be a 'heart-free disease' case yesterday?"

Ugo shook his head:

"No.

"If there are no cases in two or three days, you can move back."

His expression was as normal as he did, without any abnormality.

"Hope." Shang Jianyao sincerely expressed his expectations.

After leaving the hotel, the two of them went to the rental house on the Iron Medal Street as scheduled and met Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gnava.

After exchanging the results of each other's actions, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself and said:

"I'm also stupid and treat them as beginners of Honghe Language who have received corporate system education.

"Let's organize another introductory textbook for gray-sized language, and use the first grade of elementary school as a model.

"Don't hurry, make up your sleep in the afternoon."

After lunch, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong slept on the upper bunk of the high and low beds.

Long Yuehong was about to complain that the other party had occupied too much space, but Shang found that Yao had raised his right hand and pinched the temples on both sides.

…………

In the "Sea of ​​Origin", on the island with a golden elevator.

Shang Jianyao looked at himself sitting cross-legged at the elevator door, wearing a gray camouflage uniform, shook his head mercifully, and sat down.

He spoke earnestly:

"You are me, and I am you, we are an integral part of it.

"Everyone has conflicts and is struggling, but we cannot separate ourselves and go to extremes."

Seeing Shang Jianyao at the elevator door, he listened quietly to his words. Shang Jianyao laughed and said the last two words:
