As soon as the two got ho, Mr. Hu’s call ca in right on ti.
[Haha! That kid Xiao Nan, did he cause you any trouble?]
"No, not at all. He’s well-behaved and polite. I quite like the kid."
[Really?]
On the other end of the line, Mr. Hu obviously thought ng Lang was being sarcastic.
After all, this was a case of acting first and reporting later, without seeking prior consent.
[Sigh! Originally, I considered that you might be short-handed, so I wanted to give your ’special talent’ an extra layer of insurance.
Now it seems it was totally unnecessary.
To have spotted Xiao Nan imdiately and with a bodyguard of your extraordinary skill protecting him closely, it seems no one can pose a threat to him.
Well then, I’ll have Xiao Nan return tomorrow.]
Mr. Hu was also quite helpless, he initially planned to flex a bit and reveal everything in a few days, then say sothing like,
"You see, the person I sent got so close to the target and you didn’t even notice. If it were an enemy, how dangerous would such an important talent be?"
Then smoothly place Xiao Yu under mutual protection.
Never imagined that soone like Chu Nan, honed by hellish training in the special forces with impeccable comprehensive scores, would get spotted at a glance!
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian’s face darkened.
He imdiately declared he would bring the "incompetently trained" Little Chu Nan back for an eighteen-layer hellish retraining.
Mr. Hu could only lant how he underestimated the caliber of the "Hero of Guanzhong" and grudgingly opted to recall Xiao Nan...
Recall?
How could you possibly take back talent that was delivered to you?
Besides, how could "Rain Village" be without Xiao Nan?!
"No way! Now that he’s here, I think Mr. Hu, you’ve been very considerate this ti!
I, alone, will eventually find myself overwheld, and I think Xiao Nan fits the role perfectly!
Of course, there are also things you might not have thought through, like...
Transferring him to another class, why transfer him to the neighboring class? How troubleso is that!
How about this, next ti put in a word and have him transferred to my class, hopefully, we can even be desk mates.
This way, I’ll leave school safety in Xiao Nan’s hands!"
[Uh...]
Mr. Hu on the other end paused for several seconds, seemingly confirming if the other party was indeed speaking earnestly.
[Are you sure you don’t need to ask for further instructions?]
"No need! I’m the bodyguard, so I call the shots on how to protect!"
After confirming several tis that ng Lang was serious, Mr. Hu felt quite ashad.
He asured noble intentions with petty thinking...
Look at them!
Such an important talent, and they confidently trust them with "mutual protection," clearly not seeing our side as outsiders at all.
While I was plotting with hidden agendas...
Manifestly inferior!
[Brother ng, our perspective was too narrow!]
"How could it be? Sending Xiao Nan over itself proves your perspective is broad enough!"
The two, using the sa communication channel, chatted about different channel content.
Both felt they had gotten a great deal, undoubtedly, another happy "win-win"...
[Since that’s the case, let’s settle it this way! By the way, ’Hamlet’ is almost ready, and it can be sent over after a while.
Since you sent the person over, I’d like to hear your thoughts on how to proceed from here.]
"Hamlet," as referred to by Hu Lao, was the newly minted "spy codena" for Iwazaki Hideyoshi.
Given that Iwazaki Hideyoshi’s identity has already been treated as a "top-secret" file of Country Hua, belonging to the highest level of espionage.
Regular communication naturally requires so cover-up, in case of eavesdroppers.
"Hmm..."
In theory, although the two parties are in cooperation, since the person is already in Mr. Hu’s hands, they could naturally decide these matters on their own.
But then again, who asked ng Lang to just boost his own prestige?
Evidently, Mr. Hu was trying to reciprocate by showing his non-monopolistic intent, expressing a willingness to jointly develop this large cake.
Mistrust only breeds more mistrust.
While trust is a spiral, mutual trust deepening under such circumstances...
Without directly replying to Mr. Hu, ng Lang just expressed that he needed to consult further.
After all, his current position was as an "outer mber of the logistics departnt," a matter he couldn’t just casually handle over the phone, lest his "voice" within the organization gets exposed?
Evidently, Mr. Hu found that very reasonable.
Before hanging up, he couldn’t resist but ask one more question.
[How did you figure out Xiao Nan? You hadn’t seen Xiao Nan before, and he’s just an 8-year-old kid; normal people wouldn’t suspect anything, right?
He didn’t show any hostility or "killing intent," so how was he seen through?
Can a National Martial Arts Master really achieve qi sense?]
To this, ng Lang just chuckled.
Could he tell him that he’d been pinpointing culprits in crowds since the first episode of the comics, and this wasn’t his first rodeo?
When it cos to spoilers, they’re pros!
Though this did serve as a reminder.
This ti, it was because of his spoilers that Chu Nan appeared in his photos, allowing him to recognize the person instantly.
Next ti, if a real enemy tries to get close as an assassin, he can’t always hope to use his autobiography as a "most-wanted poster," right?
Knowing that apart from the oceanic behemoth flow on the frontline battlefield, the Night Demon Clan particularly loves doing back-end assassinations to eliminate humans posing a threat to them.
