North America Gunman Detective Chapter 1551 - 831: The Troublesome Dave (Part 2)

"If I have so free ti, I will, Hughes already ntioned it to before."

Dave invited Jimmy to sit on the sofa, "Jimmy, so things are quite complicated, regarding your work arrangent, we've been pushing it forward..."

Jimmy raised his glass and clinked it with Dave's, interrupting him, "No need, I honestly don't care anymore, or rather, I used to care a lot, but not anymore now.

During this trip, I t a few elders, and after a conversation with one of them, I gained a lot of perspective.

Dave, work is just work, life is life. People need to live happily to not let down their family and friends, so don't overthink it, I'm very happy now."

Dave: "Elders?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, a friend of my grandfather's, though I call her grandma directly. Oh, they attended my engagent and wedding as well, you should have t them."

Dave nodded, seemingly trying to recall those people, but it was difficult since he hadn't paid much attention at the ti; it was just a subordinate's wedding, who would care about who was around?

But Jimmy's words still made him a bit nervous, completely not caring about work isn't a good sign. People who manage to not care about work at all are either old hands waiting to retire or simply have no interest in continuing, maybe he'll soon receive Jimmy's resignation.

"Your wedding, huh, I don't really have any deep impressions of the others. By the way, do you have any ideas about your job changes later?"

Jimmy: "No, I'll think about it after the little one grows up a bit, when Nia can take care of him alone. By then, even if work gets busier, it's okay."

Dave breathed a sigh of relief, it seed that the lack of interest in work was mostly because of the child's birth. That's manageable; after all, haven't they all gone through this phase? With this understanding, Dave was relieved of his biggest worry. Jimmy's previous disappearance had made him and so others really tense for a period. But since Jimmy chose to continue taking care of his family, work matters could be settled later, which wasn't a problem.

"Yes, understandable. Taking good care of the family allows one to do other things with peace of mind, a good choice."

The conversation shifted from here to so trivial matters like which club suits whom, and Jimmy naturally didn't provoke him further. Originally, if the conversation didn't go well today, he planned to lay it all out, but Dave seed to have misunderstood sothing at so point, the topic kept shifting, so there wasn't a need to flip the table so early, he had plenty of ti anyway.

However, when Jimmy casually ntioned that he found his house being monitored when he returned today, the atmosphere changed. Dave asked, "How did you find out about them?"

Jimmy: "The person helping to watch the house noticed it. I chased after and found the photos he took. I already got his na and related information, I can start an investigation tomorrow."

Dave waved his hand: "No need, I arranged that."

Jimmy looked at Dave coldly, expressionless, waiting for an explanation. Seeing Jimmy's reaction, Dave continued: "Soone told a stranger appeared at your house, soone they hadn't seen before, because you weren't in New York. I arranged for soone to keep an eye on the place temporarily, in case anything happened."

Jimmy: "That's soone I hired to help look after the house. I was going to be away for a long ti, so I needed soone to help watch over it."

Dave: "I know, I know, don't worry, now that you're back, the surveillance can end."

Jimmy: "So what did you find out?"

Dave: "That old black man didn't have any registered information, who is he?"

Jimmy: "Just an old friend, don't investigate him anymore, he's not a threat."

Dave: "But according to the detective's investigation, he's not that simple. In fact, he's appeared many tis before; it's just that no one noticed him. Since he's connected to you, can you tell who he is?"

Jimmy paused, reached for the bottle to pour himself a drink, shook his head, and said: "So things must be kept secret, I'm sorry, I can't say."

Dave: "I can't allow an unknown threat to have any potential connection to my best agent, Jimmy. You know we have to be very cautious in our line of work, especially regarding potential threats around us."

Jimmy: "I assure you, he's safe, won't be a threat to anyone, please don't continue investigating."

Dave just looked at Jimmy, waiting for him to give an explanation.

The fact is, previously nobody cared that Jimmy had black friends, after all, Jimmy himself was a minority and had a wide circle of friends, it was very normal. But after Jimmy left ho and tasked a black man to watch over his house, and this person had Jimmy's complete trust, that beca suspicious. Jimmy had also been away from ho for long periods before, but never had such arrangents.

After receiving the news, Dave didn't use official ans to investigate, but instead enlisted a private detective. Official investigations can easily lead to leaks or be spun into an internal investigation against Jimmy, which would be troubleso.

Roland actually was undocunted, and there are many such people in the United States, so are illegal immigrants, so are undocunted for various reasons, with no records. This led to the private investigator not getting any information from the photos he took.

Even while in Jimmy's house, he kept two guns on his waist, ones similar to Jimmy's. It seed like Jimmy left the guns with him to defend himself when leaving ho. This made Dave even more sure the person wasn't simple, so they just waited for Jimmy's return without taking any action.

Jimmy thought for a while, Roland's identity must not be revealed. He could only be a bit stubborn first, and if that didn't work, pull so strings: "I guarantee, in the na of Jimmy Yang, that he's fine."

Dave: "This isn't just about guarantees, an unidentified potentially dangerous person appearing here can't just be ignored. It hasn't reached the stage of an official investigation yet, Jimmy, don't make things more complicated."

Jimmy: "It's you who are complicating everything now."

Seeing Dave's expression, Jimmy knew this wouldn't be easy. To Dave, it seed like he'd caught so leverage over him. If Jimmy hadn't voluntarily raised the issue of being monitored, Dave might have kept this matter under wraps, investigating Roland in private.

Jimmy: "Alright, have you read my file?"

Dave nodded, Jimmy continued: "Clearly, so things aren't recorded in those files, like my late mother Veronique Durand, who was once the CIA's Asia-Pacific Region director..."

Dave frowned, he really didn't know this. Moreover, a CIA director isn't sothing that would be recorded in public information, even the entire FBI didn't have this kind of information.

Dave: "Are you a CIA agent?"

Jimmy: "No, just have so personal connections with so people there."

Dave: "Like who?"

Jimmy: "I can't reveal the identities of so people to you, but the forr and current directors of the New York Anti-Terrorism Bureau are my friends, Noah Watson and Katherine Prado, you should know them."

Dave nodded again. The people nad were from around New York, he certainly knew them. For Jimmy to directly na them ant they wouldn't deny knowing Jimmy, he was confident about that.

Dave: "So he is a CIA person?"

Jimmy: "I can only say, so things need to be strictly confidential. Don't continue the investigation, believe , there are so things you wouldn't want to happen."

Jimmy's expression was serious, and Dave didn't relax his brow. Jimmy's words made Dave feel quite awkward, sowhat threatened, and he also had a very bad suspicion. It seed that Jimmy's connections with the CIA might be deeper than he had imagined.
