"Boss, I found it."
Xia Xu returned disappointed, but he never expected that Yang Bowen also came back to the store early and brought him good news.
"What did you find? Zhang Jianmin?"
Xia Xu was stunned when he heard this.
"Hey, yes, it's Zhang Jianmin. I've almost found his address."
Yang Bowen's expression was full of accomplishment and complacency. It was obvious that Xia Xu's look of disbelief gave him great satisfaction.
“So soon?”
Xia Xu was a little suspicious.
He really didn't believe it.
No matter how talented Yang Bowen was, he had no experience after all. He believed that he could find Zhang Jianmin, but to say that it would be so fast was a bit outrageous.
It's been less than a day, and there may not be enough time to gather intelligence or even understand the information.
"Lucky, lucky."
Yang Bowen smiled awkwardly and explained, "Boss, you know I used to be a driver. In addition to my colleagues who haul goods, I also know a lot of friends who drive taxis. They basically set up some chat groups to chat and occasionally report on road conditions.
Then didn’t you say that a few days ago, a guy named Zhang Jianmin was released from the police station? That police station is quite remote, and I thought he would need a ride home, so I asked in the group. "
Xia Xu was speechless: "And then you just asked it directly?"
"Hehe, there aren't many people outside the police station, and there aren't many people who pick up passengers there. I asked in the driver group, and there were only two cars that picked up people there that day. One of them went to the entrance of Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School, so I guess it must be Xue Mingjie that you mentioned, boss.
The other one got off at the gate of the residential area of Times Royal Court Phase 1, at about the same time as the first one. It is very likely that it was Zhang Jianmin that you mentioned, who was just released with Xue Mingjie. "
Yang Bowen looked excited, and there was a hint of ostentation in his words.
This was the first time that he felt that he could be so outstanding and be so adept and in control of something.
Even though there were no 'audience', he still felt like a star.
And somehow, this feeling of spying on others gave him a very unique stimulation, as if some special hobby had awakened, and he was in a state of excitement with his blood boiling and full of energy.
"Amazing! To be honest, this is beyond my expectations. Old Yang, your talent in this field is much stronger than I thought."
Xia Xu naturally would not say anything discouraging when someone was in high spirits, and he generously gave a thumbs up to the other person.
He also did not expect that in addition to his own talent, Yang Bowen's network of relationships was also a force that could not be ignored.
"No, no, boss, you are really the best. You know exactly what people do and what they are good at just by looking at them. You know them better than they know themselves. I am far from that ability."
Everyone carried the fancy sedan, and although Yang Bowen was quite excited, he was not really arrogant. He praised Xia Xu while being modest.
And what he said was at least 70% from the bottom of his heart. After trying for half a day, after confirming that he did have talent in this area, he was also truly convinced of his young boss.
He can analyze other people's identities, occupations and even strengths at a glance. Even the worms in his stomach would be ashamed of their ability. In comparison, his insignificant performance is really not worth mentioning.
"I'm just good at judging people, but I can't compare with you when it comes to finding people."
Xia Xu smiled and encouraged, "But you still have to keep up the good work and try to confirm Zhang Jianmin's address and house number. Then you will be responsible for following him for a while. It would be best if you can keep track of his whereabouts at all times."
"No problem, I will complete the task."
Yang Bowen is full of energy.
Favorability: 65
Xia Xu casually checked his attribute panel and found that his favorability had reached 65 points, which was above the passing line. It seemed that his favorability had soared after confirming his words and his own talent.
The favorability value is most likely based on a percentage system. The first fifty points are easier to increase. Even if you only meet once, you can get a few points. When you go from stranger to familiar, you can get thirty or forty points.
But starting from around fifty points, it becomes increasingly difficult to increase further. It is already very difficult to reach sixty points. In fact, even Xiao Baihua has only "brushed" to more than seventy points.
I have to say that although the attribute checking ability looks simple and does not have any supernatural or substantial power, the help it can provide is indeed very practical.
Although favorability is just a feeling and not loyalty, emotions are interconnected after all. The higher the favorability, the more resistance people will have to do things that harm him. It can be used as a means of discerning other people's hearts in disguise, and it will be even more effective when combined with obsession.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
In the evening, after inviting Yang Bowen and Xiao Baihua to a small restaurant for a meal in the name of opening and celebrating the success, Xia Xu once again called a taxi to take Xiao Baihua home.
This time he did not get off the bus, but rode all the way home and went to bed early.
However, weekend nights are always sleepless nights that cannot be wasted for most people.
The lights in the city are just coming on, and the flashy neon lights of bars, nightclubs, KTVs, etc. are emitting a mesmerizing glow. For many nocturnal animals, this is just the beginning of the day.
Of course, for students, perhaps a cheap and affordable overnight stay in an Internet cafe is more attractive than all the above. It would be even more perfect if you can have a few good friends with you.
"Mouse, why are you so... Fuck, you haven't even changed your school uniform, you didn't just stay home, did you?"
Around eight o'clock in the evening, several teenagers who looked like high school students arrived one after another in an Internet cafe hidden in a residential area near Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School.
The Internet cafe industry in Xia Country on the Blue Sea Star has not yet declined, but is instead at its peak.
This is what is commonly known as a black Internet cafe. This type of Internet cafe usually does not have formal business qualifications, but one of their more famous features is that they allow minors to surf the Internet.
After all, Internet cafes normally do not allow minors to access the Internet, and a large number of high school students are actually under the age of 18.
But it just so happens that they have the highest demand for the Internet and games, and they are an excellent customer group. If you open an Internet cafe near a junior high school or high school, you basically don't have to worry about the number of people attending. Therefore, many bold bosses take risks, and even some regular Internet cafes secretly allow minors to access the Internet.
This illegal Internet cafe opened near Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School. Naturally, the people who come to surf the Internet are basically students from Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School. As the saying goes, you'll see them every day. They are classmates and regular customers of this Internet cafe. They are familiar with each other and greet each other when they come in.
"My parents are not at home on the weekends, and I am too lazy to go back, so I can have fun."
The boy, still in school uniform, sitting in front of a computer responded to his friends who had arrived and threw the cigarette on the table over to them.
"That's great for you. Can you play all night again?"
"What a shame! I'm out of money. I only have enough money to stay overnight. I can't even buy dinner or water."
"That's not easy. Let's see if any little brats come over and stop us..."
A group of teenagers were giggling as they turned on their computers, surfed the Internet and smoked cigarettes. Due to their rebellious age and influenced by movies and TV shows like Young and Dangerous, they looked more like hooligans than even gangsters.
If Xia Xu were here, he would definitely stay away from the boy in school uniform.
