Chapter 879: Welcome to Nevada
Translator: Min Editor: Rundi
At six in the evening, Steven walked out of the CIB headquarters and got on a black car. Just as he fastened his seat belt and inserted the key, a Jewish man in a trench coat opened the door and sat next to him.
"All good?"
"The CIB will assist you."
A smile appeared on the man's face.
"Congratulations, Mr. Steven, you can finally find your revenge."
Steven scoffed and didn't respond, but the smile on his lips was still obvious.
"This is a little gift from us." Then, the Jewish man gently placed a card in the item holder, as if nothing had happened, and looked straight ahead with a smile.
"I didn't help you for money." Stephen frowned.
"But you have no reason to refuse, right?" The man smiled."And your efforts are definitely worth this number."
Stephen was silent.
The car passed through the bustling streets of the Capital and the glaring and sparking lights reflected off of the windshield of the car. This was the center of a prosperous world and the center of world power. The well-dressed crowds and the unreachable floors looked fascinating just from their appearance.
Steven suddenly laughed.
Indeed, as the Jewish man said, he had no reason to refuse.
...
After returning to the Xin Embassy, Jiang Chen said goodbye to Lawrence and remained in the office with Xia Shiyu. Then, she returned to her room.
Zhu Yu followed her.
Xia Shiyu looked to Jiang Chen's room and said nothing. With her current position, she was exposed to some of Future Group's secrets, including his trip to Nevada.
Although she was worried, she would not say anything to stop it. Instead, she stressed the importance of safety to him and continued to focus on the tasks at hand.
He closed the door behind him and asked Zhu Yu to be responsible for her safety at the embassy.
"Do you leave now?"
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded. He took off his suit and shirt and tossed it on the bed. The muscles of his upper body were exposed right in front of the girl's eyes.
Although the defined muscles did not have explosive visual effects, they cast a controlled and firm tension. However, with professional training, Zhu Yu's heartbeat only sped up for two seconds and she did not even flush at the scene.
The bullet-proof vest was taken from Zhu Yu's hands and Jiang Chen put it on himself. This type of vest was not much thicker than a shirt as it was made of graphene material. Although its protection against the kinetic energy of bullets was limited, it could effectively intercept all bullets.
Finally, he put a trench coat on over it. Jiang Chen took a Type-11 pistol from Zhu Yu and placed it in his pocket. Then he brought out a K2 kinetic skeleton with an optical illusion module from the wardrobe and skillfully wielded it on himself.
"The car is parked in the underground garage on the opposite side of the embassy. Coordinates are on your watch... Do you really not need our assistance?" Zhu Yu said hesitantly.
Jiang Chen tapped the screen on his arm and set the parameters. He smiled and said, "No need, you are too worried."
"Ayesha told me that you shouldn't do anything dangerous... If you get into an accident, please contact me immediately."
"I will... Right, I need you to do something for me."
"What's the order?" Zhu Yu asked Jiang Chen.
"Emma Watson, sponsored by Future Biology. Someone is investigating her. I am very curious who it is."
"That's easy, " Zhu Yu said.
"Then I will leave it to you."
At the end of October, the sea breeze in Los Santos already had some coolness to it, but it couldn't carry away the humidity in the air. Darkness already shadowed the city, but the entire city was still immersed in the gorgeous neon, the endless streams of light that colored the nightlife. Everything had just begun.
Jiang Chen activated optical invisibility, did not attract anyone's attention, quietly left the embassy from the back door, and walked by an FBA car. He could see the ash that had fallen from the cigarette in between the agent's fingertips, but he couldn't see him.
Ten minutes later, in the underground garage opposite of the Xin Embassy, a black SUV slowly hit the road and merged into the city of Los Santos. The FBA wouldn't know that Jiang Chen, who was supposed to stay in the Embassy, was already on route to Nevada.
He hasn't driven for a long time, but when Jiang Chen held onto the steering wheel, he didn't feel any discomfort.
He took off the kinetic skeleton and placed it in the backpack in the passenger seat.
In order to avoid being stopped by the traffic police, even after he left Los Santos, Jiang Chen did not speed up. Now that the entire UA thought that he was in the embassy. If he were detained by traffic police within a dozen kilometers away, there would be many unnecessary troubles.
If he kept his current speed and not stop midway, he should be able to reach Nevada five hours later.
Jiang Chen opened the hologram map and made a rough estimation. When he arrived at Area 51 in southern Nevada, it should be exactly 4 in the morning. Of course, he couldn't drive directly inside. He planned to spend a full day in a nearby town. It would be a better choice to wait until the next night.
After leaving Los Santos, the traffic was unusually smooth, and the scenery on both sides also changed from high-rise buildings to endless desert. To keep himself entertained, Jiang Chen turned on the radio. Although he did not like loud music, it would at least prevent him from falling asleep.
On the way, Jiang Chen saw many tourist buses. In between California and Nevada, there was a tourist attraction called the "Death Valley" of the civilized world. Most of the rumors were similar to the Bermuda Triangle, which were all created by the tourism industry.
Jiang Chen wondered if he should visit the nearby Death Valley after visiting the mysterious Area 51, but soon he drove the idea out of his head.
The end of October was not considered the peak season for tourism. However, this type of attraction would drive quite a crowd and it would be better to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Just as he spent time distracting himself with the vehicles along the road, his watch suddenly vibrated. Only two hours later, Zhu Yu's called.
"Hey?"
"The person you told us to investigate has been found."
Zhu Yu's words surprised Jiang Chen. Only two hours had passed, her efficiency was almost frightening.
But thinking about it, Jiang Chen was relieved. After all, the other party was a private investigator. Although it could use illegal means such as interception and drone filming, they are definitely more amateur compared to a professional agent. As long as the target is identified, the Ghost Agent on standby in Los Santos could easily track the private investigator following Emma.
With the truth-telling serum, there was no intelligence that can't be known.
"Employer's name is Berkeley Lewis, the eldest son of the Lewis family."
"The Lewis family? Berkeley?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. He couldn't recall the name.
"Should I deal with it?" Zhu Yu asked.
"No." Jiang Chen shook his head."Keep an eye on him. If he does something out of the ordinary, tell me."
"Yes, " Zhu Yu answered.
He hung up the phone. Blasting heavy metal music, the black SUV left behind a trail of dust and gradually merged into the darkness. A sign on the side of the road said, Welcome to Nevada.
