Under the Night

"Boss, I found him."

Xia Xu returned disappointed. However, he didn't expect Yang Bowen to return to the shop so early and bring him good news.

"Found what? Zhang Jianmin?"

Xia Xu was taken aback.

"Hehe, yes, it's Zhang Jianmin. I have almost found his address."

Yang Bowen's expression was full of accomplishment and satisfaction. Obviously, Xia Xu's look of disbelief gave him a lot of satisfaction.

"So fast?"

Xia Xu was a little suspicious.

He really didn't believe it.

No matter how talented Yang Bowen was, he had no experience in the past. He believed that he could find Zhang Jianmin, but it was ridiculous to say that he was so fast.

It had only been less than a day. He probably didn't even have enough time to gather information.

"I was lucky."

Yang Bowen smiled and explained, "Boss, you also know that I used to drive. In addition to my colleagues, I also know a lot of friends who drive rentals. They basically build chat groups to chat and occasionally report the road conditions."

"Didn't you say that Zhang Jianmin was released from the police station a few days ago? The police station is quite remote, so I thought he would definitely take a ride home, so I asked in the group."

Xia Xu was a little speechless. "And you just got the answer like that?"

"Hehe, there are very few people at the entrance of the police station, so there are not many customers there. I asked in the driver group, and there were only two cars that picked up people that day. One of them was to the entrance of Star City Third High, so it should be Xue Mingjie that Boss had mentioned."

"The other one alighted at the entrance of the Times Court's residential district. He alighted around the same time as the first one. It was probably Zhang Jianmin who was released together with Xue Mingjie."

Yang Bowen was excited, and his tone was a little smug.

This was the first time he felt that he could be so outstanding, so in control of something.

Although there was no 'audience', he still felt like he was in the limelight.

And for some reason, this feeling of spying on others made him feel a very unique stimulation, as if he had awakened a special preference. He was full of enthusiasm.

"Awesome, to be honest, this is beyond my expectations. Old Yang, your talent in this field is much greater than I expected."

Xia Xu obviously wouldn't say anything demoralizing when Yang Bowen was in glee, so he gave him a thumbs up.

Moreover, he really didn't expect that in addition to his own talent, Yang Bowen's connections were also a force to be reckoned with.

"No, no, Boss, you are better. You know what a person can do and what they are good at with just a look. You know them better than they do. My abilities are still far behind."

Although he was excited, Yang Bowen was not arrogant. He began to flatter Xia Xu while being embarrassed.

Moreover, these words came from the bottom of his heart. After trying for half a day to confirm that he was indeed talented in this area, he was completely convinced by his young boss.

To be able to analyze other people's identities, occupations, and even their strengths with just one look, even the roundworms in his stomach would be amazed by this ability. Compared to this, his little performance was nothing.

"I'm just good at judging people. I can't compare myself to you in terms of finding people."

Xia Xu smiled and encouraged, "But you still have to work hard and try to confirm Zhang Jianmin's address all the way to the house plate. Then, you will be responsible for following him, and it is best to keep track of his whereabouts at all times."

"No problem, I promise to complete the mission."

Yang Bowen was full of enthusiasm.

Favorability: 65

Xia Xu casually checked his status. His favorability had reached 65 points, which had exceeded the passing line. It seemed that his favorability had soared after confirming Xia Xu's words and his own talent.

There was a high probability that the favorability value was out of a hundred. It was relatively easy to increase the first 50 points. Even if they met once, there would be a few points, and it would reach 30 to 40 points when they get more familiar with each other.

But starting from around 50 points, the harder it was to grow. It was not easy to pass 60 points. In fact, even the little white flower had only reached 70 points.

It had to be said that although this ability looked simple and did not have any strange powers, the help it could provide was very practical.

Although favorability points were only affinity and not loyalty, feelings were still interconnected. The higher the favorability, the more resistant they would be to harm him. It could be used as a way to differentiate people's hearts.

"Let's go, I'll send you home."

In the evening, after inviting Yang Bowen and the little white flower to a small restaurant for dinner, Xia Xu called for a taxi to send the little white flower home.

He did not get out of the car this time. Instead, he took the taxi home and went to bed early.

However, the weekend night was a sleepless night that couldn't be wasted for most people.

The lights in the city were on, and the dazzling neon lights of bars, nightclubs, and KTVs emitted an enchanting light. For many night creatures, this was the beginning of a day.

Of course, for the students, a cheap and affordable overnight cyber cafe was more attractive than all of these. It would be perfect if they could have a few friends to join them.

"Rat, why are you here… F*ck, you didn't even change your school uniform, did you even go home?"

At around 8 pm, a few teenagers who looked like high school students arrived one after another in an internet cafe near the residential area.

The internet cafe industry in Planet Aquamarine and Summer had not yet declined, and it was still in its heyday instead.

This was a commonly known black internet cafe. This kind of internet cafe usually did not have proper business qualifications, but one of the more famous characteristics was that they would accommodate minors.

After all, internet cafes normally did not allow minors to go on the internet, and most high school students were not even 18 years old.

However, they also had the highest need for the internet and games. They were the best customer base. If one opened an internet cafe near schools such as elementary high school, they would not have to worry about the number of customers. Therefore, many daring bosses took the risk, even some legal internet cafes also quietly accepted minors to surf the internet.

The people who could come to this black internet cafe near Star City Third High were basically students of Star City Third High. They were classmates and frequent customers of this internet cafe, so they greeted each other as soon as they entered.

"My parents are not home this weekend, so I'm too lazy to go back. It's a good time to play to my heart's content."

The teenager, who was still wearing his school uniform, responded to his friends and threw the cigarette pack that was on the table over.

"Then aren't you in for a good night?"

"Good night my a*s, I don't have any money left. I only have enough overnight expenses in my pockets. I can't even afford dinner and water."

"That's easy, let's see if there are any kids coming later and we can stop them for some…"

A group of teenagers snickered as they turned on their computers and began to smoke while they surfed the internet. They looked more like gangsters than true gangsters.

As for the young man who was still wearing his school uniform, if Xia Xu was here, he would definitely back off.
