"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much. Anyway, I won't treat you unfairly."
Xia Xu smiled after hearing what Hong Bo said.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Hong Bo nodded solemnly.
The two didn't chat for long before a waiter came in and served the food.
Although his roommates were a little absent-minded because of Hongbo's matter, the meal was generally a great success.
It was not until around seven o'clock that the celebratory dinner was declared over. Xia Xu separated from the others and took a taxi back to his rented house.
Ding-ding-ding~
As soon as Xia Xu got off the car at the gate of the community, his cell phone rang.
"Hey, Xia, did you miss me?"
This was an international call from Grant, and his somewhat cocky voice was heard as soon as the call was connected.
"What gave you the illusion that someone would miss a poor guy who relies on charity for food, clothing, shelter and transportation?"
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows and teased as he walked into the community.
Grant said in a sad tone: "Xia, you make me so sad. I worked so hard to help you find information."
"If your hard work means that it took you ten whole days to reply to my message, then I should really thank you."
Xia Xu rolled his eyes.
"Uh, cough, cough. I've been expanding my business recently, so I've been quite busy."
Grant coughed twice and continued, "I called you right after I found out. It took me the whole night. It's only seven in the morning here."
"Well, tell me what you found out. If it's valuable, I don't mind giving you some money for the information."
Xia Xu sneered.
"No problem, from now on you are my God."
Grant instantly became enthusiastic: "The woman you asked me to check last time is named Katherine Acheson. She did hold a professorship at Johns Hopkins University, but later left Hopkins to join a pharmaceutical company. I don't think you can guess the group behind that company..."
"Andra?"
Xia Xu asked.
"… "
Grant was stunned for a moment, and said, "Uh, okay, I take back what I said just now. How did you guess it?"
"It must be something that you and I know for sure, and the only company that meets this prerequisite is the Andra Group."
Xia Xu shrugged.
Andra Group refers to Andra Biomedicine, which is the company that Grant once mentioned that created werewolves.
He and Grant had not been in contact for a long time, and the only thing they had in common that was worth Grant mentioning was the Andra Group.
Of course, there is actually a more important point.
According to his guess, "Super Brain" is most likely about special black technology, possibly related to enhancing the brain, IQ and the like. Referring to Catherine, a related character in the plot, who has a three-star medical talent, it is almost certain that the core plot composition revolves around some kind of biomedical content.
And the only company that has such technical capabilities and that he knows about is the Andra Group. Regardless of whether it is a random guess or a judgment based on the previous reason, his first reaction must be it.
"Obviously you guessed it right, God."
Grant's voice became more serious, and he said, "After leaving Johns Hopkins University, Katherine worked at the Carroll Medical Laboratory, and the funder behind this laboratory was the Andra Group.
"Xia, why are you suddenly asking about this person? Has he run into trouble again? Is it a werewolf again? Or some other weird monster?"
"How unlucky do you think I am to make you think I encounter strange things every day..."
Xia Xu was halfway through his words.
Woof!
Atuo suddenly pounced on him like a madman, and knocked him to the ground with his head.
"Hey~ What's going on? Were we really encountering a werewolf? No, is it a dogman this time? God, speak...
Hey, damn, which asshole attacked my god, he hasn't had time to pay the bill yet, don't let me find you..."
Grant's chattering voice could be faintly heard from the dropped phone. Since he only heard Atuo's barking, he probably thought that Xia Xu was attacked by a stray dog or something - it couldn't be a werewolf imitating a dog's barking, right
Unfortunately, Xia Xu didn't have time to listen to his nonsense at the moment.
In the entire half month since Atuo's favorability began to be strengthened, it has never dropped below 100, so no one would actively attack him.
So it is obvious that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
pile!
As expected, as soon as Xia Xu fell to the ground, a flying knife flashing with cold light flew past where he was originally standing and deeply penetrated nearly half of the trunk of the camphor tree in the green belt next to him.
If Atuo hadn't suddenly pushed him away, the knife would most likely have stabbed him in the forehead.
"grass!"
Xia Xu was also frightened by this sudden attack and broke out in a cold sweat.
When did Xia Kingdom become so dangerous
I almost lost my life while making a phone call.
He was screaming in his heart. Fortunately, Uncle Luo's special training over the past month and a half had been very effective. He remained calm in the face of danger, and he jumped forward and rolled to hide in the corner of the wall of a building.
"Ato, go!"
After making sure that the long-range attacks such as the flying knife from that direction could not hit him, Xia Xu gave an order and Atuo rushed out immediately.
Under the bright moonlight in the night sky, a flash of orange-yellow lightning flashed.
After half a month of physical strengthening, although Atuo's life level still hasn't reached level two, his physical fitness has actually gradually become exaggerated. It's just that there is no good testing method and room for display.
At this moment, its master was attacked and it burst into rage. Its speed in an instant was as fast as lightning. It did not move in a straight line, but changed directions and used cover to hide.
After dodging two flying knives in succession, he leaped up into the air, stepped diagonally on the outer wall of a building, and used the force to leap directly onto the balcony on the second floor.
"ah!!"
The next moment, heart-wrenching screams resounded through the night sky.
"Ato, don't waste time, kill him!"
After all, he was a trained police dog, so Atto's first attack target was habitually the attacker's arm.
Going through all the possible reasons why he was attacked, Xia Xu didn't care about mercy or consequences and directly issued a ruthless order.
Perhaps because he had witnessed the death of the kidnapper and the werewolf, or perhaps because it was just a casual verbal remark rather than personal action, making this decision was not as difficult as he had imagined.
The close-range power of the flying knife is probably not inferior to that of a firearm. Even if there is a difference, it will make no difference to ordinary people. If Atuo hadn't helped him dodge just now, he would be lying on the ground now.
Moreover... there is a high possibility that there is more than one attacker. If he still hesitates at this moment, he will most likely be the one to die in the end.
