born criminal

Chapter 8 Change

This terrible "date" is not for nothing.Although Andrew didn't make breakthrough progress, he at least found out Irene's class, the usual school time, and friends with better relationships.

According to Andrew's feedback, Irene is quite popular at school, but apart from her mother being Chen Jian's chef, Yangzhou can't see any channels through which she can get in touch with the core secrets.And because of Anna's chatty nature, Chen Jian would definitely not be able to tell her anything important.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for "this Irene" and Jeffrey's "informant Irene" to be the same person, but with the mentality of trying, Yangzhou still ordered Andrew to continue the investigation.

A few days later, the New York police announced that the serial killer James Luther had been captured. While comforting the survivors, it also set off a new round of heated discussions on crime prevention and control around the world.

Compared with the uproar outside, the days at Base [-] are still calm.Although there are also natural born criminals protesting on the Internet, their voices are too weak and are quickly silenced.

"Finally caught." Anna couldn't stop talking when she was baking pizza, and she discussed the crimes committed by James Luther with D3, and said with righteous indignation: "It's not enough for this kind of person to die a thousand times, what do you say to D3?" Yeah?"

D3 faltered awkwardly: "This is a sensitive issue for me."

"Mr. Yang, do you think so?" Anna asked Yang Zhou who was sitting in the living room again loudly: "The death penalty should not be abolished."

As a mother, she feels particularly sympathetic to this crime.Yang Zhou didn't want to argue with her, so he got up and said, "I'll go outside to get some air."

He walked to the empty street, put on a small earphone, and quickly tapped a few times on the communicator disguised as a watch.

"Hi, Louis." Jeffrey's voice sounded extra tired: "Is everything going well?"

"It's not going well." Yang Zhou said, "Listen, I need more information. What else do you know about Irene?"

"She is very cautious, and I don't know much. I can only hear from her voice that she is not very old—by the way, she seems to have a boyfriend. Before I hung up, I heard a boy call her baby."

"no yet?"

"No more." Jeffrey sighed and changed the subject: "I heard that you live with Chen Jian. What kind of person is he? If the genetic experiment is true, he must know about it."

"I know, but I don't have evidence yet, and I can't catch him." Yangzhou shrank his shoulders in the cold wind, and smiled unconsciously, "He often doesn't get up until after eleven o'clock, and stays at home every day. Reading and drinking, if you don’t keep a low profile, then you’re like a pig.”

Jeffrey, who was always frowning, was amused: "It seems that you get along well."

Yangzhou didn't answer, and asked him about the situation outside.He knew that the Rose faction was in a difficult situation now, but Jeffrey was quite optimistic: "Don't worry, although we are at a trough now, we will be able to recover soon."

Under such circumstances, it is possible to turn things around. Jeffrey must have some way to win. Just as Yang Zhou was about to ask, Jeffrey suddenly gave a serious order: "Louis, you must watch Base No. [-] and Chen Jian. The current situation It's very delicate, and no mistakes are allowed. If it is revealed that they are conducting genetic engineering experiments at this time-whether it is true or not, it will cause widespread panic, which is very bad for us."

He said "bad for us", not "bad for them".

Yangzhou didn't say a word, and Jeffrey said again: "I believe you have also noticed it, Louis. In the base, especially the No. [-] base, a bad idea has been spreading in the past few years. How should I put it..."

Yangzhou sneered: "You said they want to rebel?"

"Oh, it's the 23rd century, we don't use that term. What's that word...independence, yes, they want independence."

"Isn't it the same meaning?" Yang Zhou asked flatly, "So what about independence?"

"Are you crazy Louis! Naturally born criminals must never become an independent country, it's just nonsense!" Jeffrey on the other end of the radio frowned deeply, and typed the location of Base No. [-] on the map. Bright red fork. "Louis, you've changed. How could you say such a thing?" Jeffrey felt a little regretful about sending Yang Zhou on this mission. He asked anxiously, "What changed you?"

"I haven't changed." Yangzhou walked towards the small white building, "It's just that you didn't know me well enough before."

"You don't understand at all, Louis. The base does not have the conditions to establish a country at all. It has no political and legal system, economic foundation, or democratic consciousness. Even that territory belongs to the United Nations. I don't know why you would shake this most basic belief, but," Jeffrey grew more and more violent, and finally roared, "you have to stop them at all costs, damn it!"

Yang Zhou hung up the phone.

There was a blue Porsche parked on the lawn at the entrance of the villa. He thought it looked familiar, but after a few seconds he remembered that it was Fang Xing's car.

"Fang Xing is here?" Yang Zhou took off his coat and found that his usual place had been taken.

"Yes, he and Mr. Chen are playing games." Andrew took Yang Zhou's coat, and before he could say a few words, Anna sent him to help in the kitchen.

"Oh my God, the beef is gone. Andrew, go to the supermarket and buy some beef and onions!"

Yang Zhou glanced at the kitchen where Ji Feigou was jumping, and asked, "Chen Jian has guests?"

Anna nodded: "Yes, Mr. Chen is going to have a dinner today. Mr. Fang, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Huang, and little Eric are invited."

Yangzhou was taken aback.Douglas is the chief of the police department of the base, in charge of the armed forces, Huang Puyuan is the director of the finance bureau, in charge of the economy, and that mysterious Eric who has never seen Fred before, the genius who helped D3 design the intelligent system, these Everyone is Chen Jian's confidant, but he actually invited them to his home at this time, is he really not wary of himself at all?

"Do I need to avoid it?" Yang Zhou asked half-jokingly.

Anna waved her hand exaggeratedly: "Are you kidding me! Mr. Chen specifically told you that you are the most important guest."

The game room is just off the den.The door was ajar, and when Yang Zhou passed by, he saw Chen Jian and Fang Xing leaning close together, wearing VR glasses to operate the game.

They gave a sudden cheer and then bumped their fists.

Yangzhou only stayed for a short moment, but was seen by Chen Jian, he beckoned: "Want to play together?"

Fang Xing turned his head in surprise, a happy smile froze on his face. "Mr. Yang is still here? Isn't the investigation over yet?" His tone was not friendly.

Yang Zhou had already discovered that Fang Xing was not good at controlling his emotions, the more he rejected himself, the more he convinced Yang Zhou that they had a conspiracy.In comparison, Chen Jiancheng's mansion is deeper, so it's no wonder that he took the top spot.

Yang Zhou knew he should leave, but some force pushed him into the room. "Playing what?" he asked.

They were playing the most popular gun game of the moment.Yang Zhou put on VR glasses and headphones, connected to the game through his mobile phone, and tapped Lu Zhao in the friend list.

Lu Zhao works in the New York Police Department, and Yang Zhou met him two years ago. "I haven't seen you coming up for a long time," Lu Zhao sent a message: "What are you busy with?"

"Nothing busy." Yang Zhou and him formed a team, entered the map Chen Jian chose, and chatted in text while walking: "And you, the serial killer has been arrested, you should not be so busy."

Lu Zhao's character showed an awkward and helpless wry smile.A bullet flew past his ear, Lu Zhao quickly dodged, and said: "Let's talk about it later."

The map selected by Chen Jian is called Ruins. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere. The houses are empty, and there are no plants for cover.The two teams hid in the corner and shot at random, and then ran away after shooting, confusing the public.

After going around for 10 minutes, Yangzhou finally saw Fang Xing's figure in the scope.He sat behind the lamppost, watched intently for a few seconds, then gestured to Lu Zhao, motioning for me to take care of it.

Two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, Fang Xing fell down, Lu Zhao's image disappeared, and blood spattered Yangzhou's shoes.Yangzhou was startled, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, holding up his binoculars to look around.But there was no one in sight, just a few low houses and a gray warehouse.

Bang bang bang, the bullets whizzed by him continuously, and finally stuck in the mud.Yang Zhou was unharmed in the hail of bullets, as if someone was deliberately teasing him.

He ran to the warehouse at full speed, kicked open the door, and skillfully changed a pair of magazines.He was lying on the window to adjust the sight when he heard a slight clicking sound in his ear.Yangzhou didn't have time to turn around, and subconsciously fired a shot diagonally backward.

Sparks flew from the tin roof.Chen Jian quickly jumped down and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at him.

"Not bad, Yangzhou." The voice came from inside and outside the earphones, mixing into a wonderfully low voice.

The two characters are tensely facing each other, slowly drawing circles with their feet, closely watching the other's hand holding the gun.

After a stalemate for 2 minutes, Yang Zhou suddenly said, "You squeezed me."

"Huh?" Chen Jian looked down subconsciously, and the character moved accordingly. At this moment, Yang Zhou pulled the trigger, turning the handsome projection in front of him into a blood mist.

Chen Jian cursed and dropped the handle angrily.With frost in his brows and eyes, he stared at Yangzhou coldly: "Are you kidding me?"

Yangzhou smiled, hypocritical and beautiful: "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

There was a hint of complacency in his amber pupils. Chen Jian was extremely irritable at first, but suddenly felt like laughing.Most of his anger subsided, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth softened, but he still remembered Yang Zhou's conspiracy, and fiercely demanded another round.

"Next time." Yang Zhou glanced at Fang Xing, who had a dark face, "I still have a report to write."

Chen Jian was unwilling, but he didn't force it. He just told him casually: "Remember to come down for dinner tonight, and I will introduce you to a few people."

Yang Zhou was not the only one who was surprised. Fang Xing stood up from the sofa and asked loudly, "Why?"

"We are just making friends. Yangzhou is a member of the Rose faction. He knows more about the base, so he can speak for us in the parliament and the media in the future."

Chen Jian's explanation sounds reasonable, but Fang Xing knows that's not the case at all.He looked at Yangzhou with disgust: "I don't think everyone wants to make friends with people from the coalition government."

Chen Jian frowned, his expression didn't change much, but an indescribable coercion spread in the room.

"I won't bother you anymore." Yangzhou Fang Xing twitched his lips and left the room.

There was a vague and intense quarrel inside, and the nosy Anna poked her head out and asked, "What happened? This is the first time I've seen Mr. Fang and Mr. Chen quarreling."

"It's nothing," Yang Zhou said, "it's just playing games."

"You are leading a wolf into the house!" In the room, Fang Xing punched the wall: "You clearly know that he is holding back to investigate us, what are you doing now? Can you wish to tell him all our plans?"

"It's not a big deal to have a meal together. You overreacted." Chen Jian said calmly, "Isn't it natural to entertain coalition government officials?"

"That was before!" The sword on Fang Xing's jaw was lifelike, it was stained with the master's anger, as if it was about to pierce the skin. "Don't you still want to please them like before? We have endured humiliation for so many years, what is it for? You are sabotaging our plan Chen Jian! Let me ask you, you have been here for almost 30 years, don't you want to go out? You don't want to find Are you daddy yet?"

When Chen Jian heard the word "Dad", he was furious: "You don't need to remind me!"

Fang Xing knew that he had touched his restricted area, he took a breath, and hastily stopped talking.

Chen Jian slumped down on the sofa, pulling his hair in pain.The air became heavy, squeezing one's chest ache, and every breath was exhausted.

After a while, Chen Jian calmed down, and Fang Xing said, "Don't worry, I won't reveal the plan to him. I have observed for a long time, and Yang Zhou is a very special person. He has his own set of values ​​and principles, and he has his own set of values ​​and principles. Things will be very stubborn to fight for, and they are unwilling to be controlled by others. If you can win him over, it may help us in the future. You are always talking about plans, and I ask you, what if the plan fails?"

Fang Xing said in a muffled voice, "So we have to wait until the day when everything is safe."

"It's up to you." Chen Jian shattered his fantasy cruelly: "There is never a time when nothing will go wrong. We must be prepared to retreat, if not for ourselves, then for the more than 2 people in the base. I have a hunch that Yangzhou will Very helpful to us."

Fang Xing let out a disdainful "tss". He paced around the room, turned his back to Chen Jian and asked, "Are you so sure? Could it be that you are in love with him?"

Chen Jian was stunned for a moment before retorting: "Don't talk nonsense. It's you, the people from the former coalition government came here, and you get along very well, so why don't you like Yangzhou?"

Fang Xing didn't answer for a while.He smiled wryly and stroked the scar on his left arm, which was left when he helped Chen Jian grab medicine when he was ten years old.Chen Jian also had a scar on his back, which was blocked for him in the most terrifying melee in the base.They are dead brothers, but they are just brothers.

Fang Xing has watched him entangle with young and beautiful boys all these years, but he has never been jealous. He knows that one day Chen Jian will understand his intentions and return to him.He waited for a long time, until Yangzhou appeared that day, he suddenly became uneasy, because he had a premonition that Chen Jian might not come back this time.

Many words rubbed his throat dry and hot, Fang Xing opened his mouth, and said stiffly: "It may be because he always puts on a noble look."

"What's wrong." Chen Jian patted him on the shoulder: "You have to fix it."
