"In fact, the detective agencies opened by the protagonists in the movies and anime I watched are all like this."
Although he was slightly disappointed for a moment, Meng Bochao quickly calmed down and walked towards the store with Yang Bowen.
At this moment, the rolling shutter door of the store has been pulled up, revealing another layer of translucent sliding glass door inside, through which you can vaguely see people busy working inside.
"Uncle Yang, are there any other seniors here?"
Meng Bochao turned his head curiously and asked Yang Bowen.
"This is not just an ordinary senior, this one should be called the boss lady."
Yang Bowen grinned.
"Uncle Yang, you are talking nonsense again."
Tang Youxin, who was cleaning, heard what Yang Bowen said and blushed and pouty.
While he was looking at Yang Bowen, his gaze naturally fell behind him. When he did not find another familiar figure, he couldn't help showing a slight disappointment. Finally, he moved his gaze to, or noticed Meng Bochao.
"Haha, Youxin, don't worry, the boss will definitely come today."
Yang Bowen knew what she was thinking, so he laughed heartily and introduced her, "This is the new employee the boss hired yesterday, his name is Meng Bochao."
"Hello, Madam Boss."
When Meng Bochao saw Tang Youxin's appearance for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after Uncle Yang's "reminder" just now, he didn't dare to look at her any longer, and didn't dare to have any extra thoughts, and honestly called her "Madam Boss".
"Hello."
It was fine with Yang Bowen, who they often got along with, but Tang Youxin felt a little uncomfortable facing Meng Bochao, a stranger she met for the first time. She just nodded slightly awkwardly and greeted him, without even bothering to refute the title of boss lady.
"What are you talking about?"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Not long after the three of them entered the door, Xia Xu also came over with Atuo.
"Woof!"
As soon as Xia Xu let go of the leash, Atuo ran towards Tang Youxin happily, wagging his tail enthusiastically.
Little White Flower's appearance seemed to be not only likable to humans, but even small animals like cats and dogs had a natural liking for it. With the existence of Xia Xu's relationship, Atuo became particularly close to Little White Flower.
"Good morning, Atuo."
After Atuo ran over, Tang Youxin also squatted down, and her fair little hands gently and slowly stroked the hair on Atuo's back.
She was still a little scared when she first met Atuo, but after Xia Xu brought her into close contact for a while, the two became very harmonious.
The sun was rising, and a ray of sunlight shone through the glass door, shining on the little white flower who was wearing a white dress. A little bit behind her was a clearly defined shadow and the less lighted area of the room.
The young face and the peaceful look of squatting down and caressing Atuo quietly, combined with the perfect light at this moment, are like a beautiful painting, pulling people into a peaceful and leisurely mood.
Xia Xu felt like his heart was shot by an arrow.
"He only cared about Atuo and didn't even say good morning to me."
Xia Xu pretended to be sour and moved closer.
"Good morning."
Tang Youxin looked up naturally and said good morning in a soft voice.
"I think good morning sounds better."
Xia Xu said with a smile.
Little White Flower said obediently: "Good morning."
“It does sound much better.”
Xia Xu smiled happily, and was so moved by the little white flower's invisible cuteness that he wanted to bully it severely.
Fortunately, there were two outsiders, Yang Bowen and Meng Bochao, present, and he didn't have the habit of showing off his affection in front of others, so they quickly stopped talking and got down to business.
"Old Yang, the main reason I came here today is to arrange Bochao's affairs. I should have told you about his father's affairs, right?"
Xia Xu first found Yang Bowen, and Meng Bochao was also sitting next to him.
"Yes, I did."
Yang Bowen nodded slightly.
"Then you just need to be more attentive and keep an eye on Griffin Jones while taking the time to investigate the perpetrator with him. It shouldn't be too troublesome. If you need money or people, you can tell me directly."
Xia Xu nodded and gave the order, while looking at Meng Bochao: "Bochao, you should move out in the next few days. Your neighbor next door has provoked a top professional killer, and there may be a special force involved in the future. If you continue to live here, there is a high probability that you will be involved in some high-risk incidents."
Now that Meng Bochao has been recruited, it would not be wise to let him stay next to Griffin Jones. After taking the super brain potion, a person's information retrieval ability will be greatly enhanced, which includes abilities such as observation.
Coupled with the accelerated thinking, even an ordinary person can become a top detective, psychoanalyst, etc. when the brain is overclocked. If Meng Bochao stays there, it will be easy for him to be found out or caught.
"next door?"
Meng Bochao suddenly understood what Xia Xu said.
It seems that Uncle Yang and the boss were originally going to target the foreigner next door, but they were targeted first when they hacked into the traffic management system and suffered this "unprovoked disaster".
How serious a crime did the foreigner have to commit to be targeted by the boss? There were also professional killers and so-called special forces. Although it was not clear what was special about them, the boss's serious and solemn expression clearly showed that he was not a simple person.
When Meng Bochao thought about how he had been living next to such a time bomb, he felt a little chilly and said quickly, "Okay, boss, it doesn't matter where I live. I can move anytime."
"Yeah, okay."
Xia Xu nodded slightly and continued, "From today on, you will officially join our consulting company. I have something for you to do."
"Make sure the mission is completed."
Meng Bochao's face instantly became solemn and he saluted.
Is this the start of the first mission
I don't know what it is.
Invade a company? Organization? Or investigate and monitor some special people
"It's not really a mission. I just want you to do me a small personal favor. Of course, you will get the bonus."
Xia Xu smiled silently and took out a silver metal object as big as a football from the bag he was carrying.
"ah!"
"this… "
When this thing was taken out, it scared several people. The little white flower who was standing on tiptoe behind Xia Xu and looking around curiously screamed in fright. Meng Bochao and Yang Bowen also instinctively shrank back.
There was no other reason, it was because what Xia Xu took out was a hideous silver centipede, as thick as a human arm, curled up into a ball.
A centipede as thick as a little finger can make people terrified. It would be strange if people were not terrified when such a thing that is a hundred times larger is suddenly taken out.
"Don't be nervous, it's fake."
Upon hearing the sound, Xia Xu quickly glanced at Little White Flower. After confirming that it did not fall, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Meng Bochao and the others.
In fact, at this time the three of them had already seen clearly what he was holding in his hand.
The centipede does look like a centipede, but it is actually a mechanical creature made of pure metal.
