Ye Xuan's words and the real pain on his face stunned the old man for a moment.
"What vegetative state? What are you talking about? My child, I am old, my ears are not working properly, and I may have Parkinson's syndrome. I have no idea what you are talking about." The old man quickly came back to his senses and did not want to Talk to Ye Xuan again.
He took the dog, put his finger in his mouth and whistled.
A middle-aged man ran over from the other side of the street, smiled humbly at him and said, "Is something wrong, Mr. Vanderbilt? Do you want to go home?"
He glanced at Ye Xuan and was deeply impressed by his mixed-race appearance and tall stature.
The old man looked at Ye Xuan. He originally wanted to drive Ye Xuan away, but seeing that he looked lost, unbelievable, and a little confused, he changed his words and said, "... take the dog back, I want to Let’s walk again.”
"Okay, sir." This middle-aged man was the butler of the Vanderbilt family. He bowed to Ye Xuan, led the dog and left first.
Ye Xuan looked at the Armani custom-made suit this man was wearing with cold eyes, feeling very disdainful in his heart.
In this little-known town, even the butler can wear this kind of clothes. How can he earn so much money based on his resume? !
This damn old lawyer still dares to say that he has nothing to do with Uncle Gu? !
Ye Xuan's heart was filled with anger, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Before he came, he had used his hacking skills to check the lawyer's resume. Unexpectedly, the more he checked, the more he felt that this lawyer should be the kind of lawyer that Uncle Gu would use.
He is low-key and cautious. Although he is not famous, he never makes mistakes.
This kind of person is the kind of person Uncle Gu can trust.
But he got huge benefits from Uncle Gu, but he turned against him and refused to recognize him!
The old man looked at Ye Xuan's expression, suddenly smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, don't be so angry. Being angry makes you old and sick easily. - Take a walk with me, old man, okay?"
Ye Xuan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, said "Okay" forcefully, and followed the old man to walk along the tree-lined path of the community.
The two of them walked to the end of the street, but no one spoke.
Later, when walking back, the old man asked: "...you said Kevin-Ku became a vegetative state? Who is he? Why did he become a vegetative state?"
"... Since you don't know him, why should I tell you?" Ye Xuan sneered and turned his head, running through seventeen or eight ideas in his mind, thinking about how to threaten the old man.
"Haha, forget it if you don't tell me." The old man took a few steps forward and said, "I'm home, where do you live?"
Of course Ye Xuan didn't say anything. He looked up and looked at the tallest building in the town. It was like a huge castle. It was built on the edge of the town. Not far from the castle was a hill. Behind the castle was A blue lake.
Surrounded by mountains and facing water, it is a place with good Feng Shui.
Ye Xuan sneered again and said, "I will visit you again tomorrow. I hope you have remembered it."
After he said that, he turned around and left without leaving any room.
The old man looked at his back quietly, shook his head for a while, and staggered towards his home.
…
Ye Xuan returned to the hotel where he was staying. He was in a bad mood and was too lazy to eat, so he took out a box of beer from the refrigerator, carried it to the balcony, and drank one can.
Soon, he drank half of a box of beer. His whole body was full of alcohol, and he sat on the balcony slightly drunk, sighing deeply.
A middle-aged man who lives next door to him is a field staff member of the Special Operations Department of the Chinese Empire.
He had been ordered to stare at Ye Xuan for several days, but he didn't see anything wrong at all.
No one was following Ye Xuan, and no one was trying to harm him, kidnap him, or murder him.
Are their estimates all wrong
The man calmly returned to his room, connected to the Chinese Empire's Nandou satellite tracking and navigation system, and sent a password back.
At the same time the next evening, Ye Xuan came to the place where Vanderbilt lived again and met him walking his dog again.
Seeing Ye Xuan coming, the old man was not surprised. Instead, he smiled at him and said, "You're here again."
Ye Xuan nodded, with a haggard look on his face. He walked side by side with the old man, almost begging him: "Mr. Vanderbilt, I know Uncle Gu must have made an agreement with you. Now Uncle Gu is in a very bad situation, and his daughter is in urgent need of your help." Help. Please stop saying you don’t know Kevin-Ku, it makes me uncomfortable.”
"I want to ask you, who are you, Mr. Kevin-Ku?" The old man stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Ye Xuan with a stern expression.
Ye Xuan pursed his lips, "I am Ye Xuan, an orphan sponsored by Uncle Gu. He has been very kind to me, and I swear to protect the Gu family for the rest of my life."
The old man looked at him steadily for a while, a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, turned his back, looked at the darkening night, and said calmly: "I don't know Kevin-Ku who became a vegetative state. Kevin-Ku, passed away seven years ago. So I didn’t lie to you." With that, he started to leave.
"What did you say?!" Ye Xuan was shocked and angry, grabbing the old man's shoulders and almost dragging him back, "You say it again?! You old liar! If you say such crazy words again, be careful you won't be able to see tomorrow. sun!"
He almost collapsed emotionally and pulled the old man's shoulders with all his strength.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man's housekeeper immediately rushed over from behind, pushed Ye Xuan away, and warned him: "If you take one step closer, I will shoot!"
The United States is a country that allows people to legally carry guns.
Ye Xuan took a step back and did not confront the family.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said to the old man: "Thank you, I will come again tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and left.
He drove restlessly on his way back to the hotel.
But this time, the rented jeep stalled not long after he drove it.
He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the car rental company to change a car, but he found that there was no mobile phone signal here...
There is no village in front and no store in the back. It takes an hour or two to walk either way.
Ye Xuan waited on the side of the road for a while, but he didn't see any car passing by. He thought for a while, he had nothing to do anyway, and he just wanted to drink beer when he went back, so he decided to see if he could fix it himself.
He got out of the car, opened the hood and took a look, and found that there should be a short circuit.
Find a spare tool box in the car and start checking the wiring.
The night darkened inch by inch, and the clouds were thick, blocking the moon and stars.
Ye Xuan spent a lot of effort and almost four hours to repair the car.
Because after actually taking it apart, I discovered that there was not only a wiring problem, but also a battery problem, and then I found that the tire seemed to have a hole in it.
This road was very remote and deserted. He repaired the car here for four hours, but he didn't see a passing car.
By the time the jeep was fully repaired and ready to go on the road, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.
He had black oil on his face and body, and when he returned to the hotel, the hotel doorman almost refused to let him in.
He took out his ID and key card before letting him in.
The Special Operations Department field officer who was watching him had already returned to the hotel.
Ye Xuan's actions in the past few days have been very regular. He always leaves the hotel and goes to visit the lawyer's residence.
I was surveying the route a few days ago and didn't talk to Mr. Vanderbilt.
We've been talking to each other for the past two days, but there doesn't seem to be any progress.
When he followed him all the way, because the road Ye Xuan took was very desolate, in order to prevent him from being discovered, the field worker took another road and came back two or three hours earlier than Ye Xuan.
Moreover, this matter is not the main target of the Special Operations Department, so the field officer plans to finish writing the investigation report tonight and return to his post tomorrow.
But not long after Ye Xuan returned to the hotel room, a piercing siren suddenly sounded outside the hotel.
Police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks all passed by on the road next to the hotel and rushed in one direction.
This is a quiet town, and the biggest news usually is that someone is drunk and racing.
But today's battle seems extraordinary.
But everyone in the hotel was already asleep.
The hotel windows were so soundproof that they couldn't hear the sirens outside.
It wasn't until dawn, when these people got up and turned on the TV to watch the morning news, that they realized what had happened.
"... It was learned at one o'clock this morning that a fire broke out in the apartment of Mr. Vanderbilt, the most famous lawyer in this town, and the entire mansion was severely burned. According to police sources, Mr. Vanderbile's family, including his two sons, three daughters-in-law, a daughter, and son-in-law, There were also four grandchildren, all of whom were killed in the flames. The house was almost burned to the ground. Only the housekeeper and the cook escaped because they lived in a servant's house more than two hundred feet away from the main house. The cause of the accident is still unknown. Under investigation.”
The female anchor of the morning news had a solemn face and was wearing a small black suit, as if she was announcing an obituary.
Mr. Vanderbilt is highly respected in Little Rock and everyone respects him.
After the news was broadcast, everyone thought that nothing happened. They just treated it as a tragic accident and sighed a few times.
Suddenly, the TV station switched the camera again and returned to the address where Vanderbilt's home was almost burned to the ground. The local police chief was holding a press conference.
With a stern look on his face, he said into the extended microphone: "... We have just verified that the fire at Mr. Vanderbilt's house was not an accident or a natural disaster, but man-made. There were traces of high-concentration volatile gasoline spilled on the scene, and someone reported it recently. Someone is pestering Mr. Vanderbilt and issuing threatening warnings. - If you see this suspect, please call the police 911 immediately and we will send someone to arrest him immediately."
The photo shown on TV was a photo of Ye Xuan with a gloomy face and an unhappy breakup with Mr. Vanderbilt!
It's obvious that this photo was taken accidentally, from a certain house on the street.
Mr. Vanderbilt’s housekeeper also confirmed that he had seen the young man arguing with his husband, and said that his husband had mentioned to him that the young man had been following him for several days and did not know what to do.
The efficiency of the American police was extremely high this time.
When Ye Xuan was still sleeping in bed and did not get up, a group of policemen with live ammunition kicked open the door of the hotel room and shouted: "Frozen (don't move)!"
