87: Some people cannot be seen on the surface, you have to look deeper.

Chen Beixuan, who was out for an early morning drive, suddenly received a call.

Seeing the somewhat familiar number, he answered without much thought.

Feng Jun's voice came through the phone.

"The target you were monitoring has been kidnapped. Do you still need me to continue monitoring?"

"Huh? Kidnapped?"

Chen Beixuan looked utterly bewildered.

Such a niche word actually appeared in his life.

His unfilial son, Chen Fan, was actually kidnapped; this was getting interesting...

He was about to gloat when his expression suddenly froze.

He looked around to make sure no one was present, then asked in a serious whisper.

"Where was he kidnapped, and by whom? Do you know?"

"The incident occurred in Unit 1, Building 2, Hexie Community. It's unclear who kidnapped him, but..."

"But what?"

"But since it's a kidnapping, the other party will definitely contact you."

Chen Beixuan nodded to himself, then asked with some confusion.

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"My principle is never to call the police, and also..."

"...what I do is illegal."

"......"

Honest enough, strong enough reason.

"If you cancel the monitoring, please come to the shop to collect your money when you have time," Feng Jun reminded him.

Chen Beixuan rubbed his brow, hearing his words and directly refusing.

"No need. Please use the remaining money to investigate who did this. Can you do that?"

"No problem, that's simple."

Feng Jun naturally had no reason to refuse.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Beixuan weighed his phone in his hand, lost in thought.

If he wasn't mistaken, the kidnappers were probably after him.

And Chen Fan, for some reason, ran to his old house and took this bullet for him.

As expected of his personal scapegoat, he could even block this.

He didn't know what to say...

If the other party tore up the ticket, he would set off firecrackers.

If the other party tried to threaten him, he would provoke them to tear up the ticket!

Hmm... he'd profit either way!

However, since the other party could find the address of the old house, it was likely that the villa's location had also been exposed.

He wasn't surprised by this, as it was inevitable.

People fear fame, pigs fear getting fat.

Finding him was only a matter of time.

But what surprised him even more was that someone had already found him earlier.

Chen Beixuan's gaze deepened as he stared at a beautiful short-haired woman jogging past him.

From her appearance, you couldn't tell anything about this woman.

Only by prying deeper could her true nature be revealed.

"Reconnaissance Technique!"

Swish!

A semi-holographic panel, full of technological flair, appeared before his eyes.

--------

Name: Xu Jing

Occupation: Soldier

Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 20, Intelligence 15, Constitution 14, Charm 7, Luck 4.

Skills: Combat, Grappling, Firearms Mastery, Disguise Reconnaissance...... Expand.

Information Brief: Snow Wolf Special Forces member, stable personality, female, 27 years old, height 168 cm, measurements...... Expand.

--------

He had seen this woman the day he moved into the villa area.

Clearly, the country had long since identified him, but had simply not yet revealed it.

Chen Beixuan stroked the stubble on his chin, pondering.

Since he was already exposed, it would be better to directly lay his cards on the table and seek benefits.

Having made up his mind, he sat in place, silently waiting.

It wasn't until Xu Jing finished her lap and passed by again that he called out to her.

"Is there something, old man?"

Xu Jing's pretty face showed confusion, and she raised a hand to wipe away the fine sweat on her forehead.

Chen Beixuan gazed at her, getting straight to the point.

"Miss Xu, take me to see your superior. I want to talk to him."

Xu Jing: !!!

"Uh... Old man, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

Xu Jing's face showed a stiff smile, and a storm raged in her heart!

How did he recognize me!?

Did I give myself away somewhere?

And how did he know my surname was Xu!!

Is there an inside man???

Chen Beixuan feigned profundity, counting on his fingers: "Your name is Xu Jing, you are 27 years old, you've been a soldier for 8 years, and your measurements are..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I understand!"

Xu Jing quickly raised her hand to interrupt him, not wanting him to continue.

She finally understood.

The old man was clearly aware of her identity, and pretending not to know was useless.

However, this was exactly what she wanted.

The mission the higher-ups had given her was to make gentle contact and secretly provide protection.

Even if the old man hadn't called out to her today, she would have found a way to start a conversation and get to know him.

This direct approach actually saved a lot of trouble.

There was only one thing that left her puzzled.

That was, where did the old man get his information from!

Was it her own exposure, or was there an inside man in her team?

Xu Jing couldn't help but size up Chen Beixuan with her eyes, and slowly said.

"...Follow me."

Chen Beixuan followed her into a villa, where the interior furnishings were very simple.

Coming to the window, he could just observe the villa he lived in through the glass.

Clearly, the house was specially chosen to facilitate observation of his home.

Turning around, Xu Jing had already opened her laptop, placed it on the table, and turned it towards him.

"The person opposite is our captain. You can talk to him about whatever you want."

Chen Beixuan nodded, slowly moving forward by pressing a button.

"Old Chen, do you still recognize me?"

The man on the screen chuckled, it was Night Owl from the game.

"Hmph, Night Owl, the esteemed Snow Wolf Guild Leader, you're not playing fair, bullying a disabled old man like me."

"If I couldn't divine and calculate, I would probably have been kept in the dark by you all this time."

Chen Beixuan also smiled, half-truth, half-jest.

"Isn't it because we were afraid of scaring you? You also need to understand our difficulties."

"Let's get back to the point. Can we discuss cooperation?"

Night Owl put away his smile, becoming slightly more serious.

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"We will be responsible for the safety of you and your family, and you will be responsible for helping our guild in the Myriad Worlds. How about we each get what we need?"

Night Owl directly stated his idea.

"That's fine, but the timing of the help will be determined by me. Maintaining the number one position is not an easy task, you can understand that, right?"

Chen Beixuan said with a smile.

Night Owl's mouth twitched at his words. Understand what the hell!

Your Old Chen's level is 20 levels higher than the second-ranked player, and you're telling me it's not easy?

Hmph! Old fox!

"Understood! Your maintaining the number one position also benefits us, so of course, we understand!"

"Good, Captain Night Owl is a straightforward person. Then it's settled."

Chen Beixuan showed a satisfied smile.

Afterward, the two discussed the details of the cooperation, and then ended the call.

After seeing Chen Beixuan off, Xu Jing called Night Owl again.

"Captain, about his son's matter, should we intervene..."

"If he doesn't bring it up, you act as if you don't know. Everything should be based on his wishes."

"Understood. And one more thing."

Xu Jing recounted how Chen Beixuan had seen through her identity.

Night Owl frowned slightly after hearing it.

The information of Snow Wolf Guild members was confidential, so this matter was indeed a bit strange.

"I will investigate this matter. You don't need to worry about it for now. Just focus on your protection duties."

"Understood."

Xu Jing nodded.

......

Closing the communication, Night Owl leaned back in his camouflage chair, his fingertips twirling a ballpoint pen up and down as he fell into deep thought.

Not long after purchasing the Guild Token, he had obtained all of Chen Beixuan's information.

After a meeting and discussion among the higher-ups, it was unanimously decided that a gentle approach should be taken, providing protection.

Taking strong measures was the absolute last resort.

The style of action for major powers always considered the overall situation.

Chen Beixuan's performance in the game was simply in a league of its own, so they couldn't help but take it seriously.

Currently, the contact was going very smoothly, and everything was developing in a good direction.

"Snow Wolf Guild... is about to take off..."

He couldn't help but grin.
