Chapter 202: Hank’s Invitation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before sending Yolanda over, Qin Yu had already thought that Hank would investigate him, and he was sure that Hank would not be able to find anything out. However, this would only increase Hank’s curiosity towards him.
“Orton, we just ditched an A-level bodyguard. It’s not appropriate to set up an identity as a normal person. Give us an identity as a scout so that Hank won’t suspect us.”
“Sir, he took Yolanda away. He will definitely ask Yolanda.”
“You don’t have to worry about Yolanda. I believe she won’t say anything.”
“Sir, I don’t understand where your confidence comes from.”
“If she says anything, she will never see me again.”
As an AI, Orton did not understand, but Bai Jingshan did. Moreover, this was something he did not expect.
Orton did not understand, but he did as he was told. He gave Qin Yu the identity of a scout. As for whether Hank would believe it or not, that was his business.
“Godfather, the location that Orton gave us seems to be a dock.”
“I saw it. That’s right. Let’s go take a look at the surrounding environment first. We’ll enter at night to take a look. What exactly are they planning to do?”
…
All the docks in the world were pretty much the same. There was nothing to see, and there was nothing to hide here during the day.
Qin Yu and Bai Jingshan left after carefully observing the surroundings of the dock and booked a hotel nearby.
Not long after they booked the hotel, Qin Yu and Bai Jingshan were discussing their strategy for the night when the doorbell rang.
“Did you order room service?”
“No, I’ve been following you, godfather.”
Qin Yu thought it was strange that they did not order room service. Then who was it?
Bai Jingshan went over to open the door. The lobby manager came in with a big smile on his face.
“Dear guests, I’m really sorry for the negligence of our work. We’ve already upgraded you two to the presidential suite. Please follow me.”
Qin Yu looked at Bai Jingshan, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure.
If it was not Bai Jingshan, could it be Orton?
It would not be either. Orton would not take the initiative to do something unnecessary.
Who was that? Someone in Lyon, Europe? He might do such a boring trick, but he did not know his exact location.
After thinking for a while, Qin Yu did not know who it was, so he could only ask the lobby manager.
“Who gave us the upgraded presidential suite?”
“It was Mr. Hank Pierce who made the call personally.”
Speaking of Hank Pierce, the lobby manager had a flattered expression on his face. It was as if he did not expect to receive a call from this big shot one day.
Hearing that it was Hank Pierce, Qin Yu and Bai Jingshan looked at each other. Qin Yu silently shook his head in his heart. As expected of a local boss. He had just lost his target and immediately found it again.
Since it was Hank Pierce’s idea, Qin Yu would seem even more stingy if he refused.
“Take your things. Let’s go up.”
Bai Jingshan took his things and went up to the presidential suite with Qin Yu.
Although it was called the presidential suite, it was actually just a little larger in area and had better equipment. There did not seem to be any improvement in quality, but there was a significant increase in the price.
“What else did Mr. Hank say to you? Did he say anything to stop us from leaving?”
“Not that. Mr. Hank only said that he wanted to satisfy you. He will be responsible for all your expenses here.”
“Alright. You can go back now. We’ll call you if there’s anything.”
After the lobby manager left, Bai Jingshan looked nervous. “Godfather, why don’t we leave quickly? It’s a little dangerous here.”
“What kind of danger?”
“Our whereabouts are being controlled by someone else.”
“Don’t be so nervous. Hank has good intentions. He wants to repay me for bringing his daughter back. If you’re nervous, he’ll realize something’s wrong.”
Qin Yu’s relaxed attitude made Bai Jingshan relaxed, but he did not relax completely.
Bai Jingshan was relaxed mentally, but he did not relax physically. He searched for eavesdropping and surveillance cameras in the suite.
Not to mention, Bai Jingshan had actually found a few.
“When I came in, I had already asked Orton to make arrangements. These things are all useless. Throw them in the trash can.”
“Godfather, I’m still a little worried.”
“If you’re still worried then go out and run for a few rounds. Don’t disturb me while I’m thinking.”
After Bai Jingshan was seriously injured the last time, he was extremely vigilant and hostile towards everything. This was not his fault. Anyone who encountered a life-or-death situation would change.
However, Qin Yu did not like Bai Jingshan’s change.
When Bai Jingshan went out for a jog, a phone call suddenly came in.
Qin Yu picked it up and took a look. It was an unknown number. He guessed who it was with just a slight thought. It was Hank Pierce. It must be him calling.
He picked up the call. It was indeed Hank Pierce.
“Mr. Peter, thank you for saving my daughter.”
“It’s no big deal. Thank you, Mr. Hank, for arranging the presidential suite. It’s my first time staying in such a luxurious room. The expenses must be quite high.”
Hank chuckled.
“Tomorrow night, I’ll hold a party for Yolanda and invite you to a banquet.”
“Thank you for your kindness. I’m afraid that won’t do.”
Hank was not surprised that he was rejected. Ever since Yolanda came back on her own, Hank knew that Peter was not the kind of person who would be moved by money. He must be pursuing something else, but Hank did not know that.
…
After both parties hung up the phone, Hank looked at the news that came out from the search.
“Cao Po, born in Malang Hospital in 1992, studied in Malang No. 2 primary school, Malang No. 4 middle school. After graduating from high school, he joined the army and joined the reconnaissance company. He is now retired.”
This was Peter’s resume that Hank found. Other than the fact that he was once in the army, everything else was normal.
However, this was the kind of person who happened to meet Yolanda when she ran away from home and went to Europe. Then, he brought her to the Country of Zhao and brought Yolanda back. He also carried on the spirit of high moral integrity and did not take any benefits.
Did such a person exist?
According to Hank’s decades of life experience, no.
Everyone had their own pursuits. Peter was not moved by Yolanda’s beauty. He was not interested in women. He did not meet with him and was not interested in money.
If that was the case, then this person either liked power or had some extremely noble beliefs in his heart.
A person who had been free for a few years after being discharged from the army did not have much interest in power.
There was only one answer left. Peter had an extremely noble belief. People with such beliefs were usually people from the system.
Peter was a special agent from the Country of Zhao. He must have come to the United States with a secret mission.
“Peter, Peter, let me see what your mission is and what you are hiding.”
Qin Yu did not know that Hank had concluded that he was an agent after reading the personal information Orton had written for him. If he had known, he would have laughed his head off.
