684: Chapter 684: Trouble Comes!

A Godsend Opportunity?

In the business van.

Edson didn’t use the mobile phone provided by Xu Dongbing but switched to specially made radio communication equipment.

The Northern Fox Organization had a dedicated intelligence department, responsible for both gathering intelligence and developing espionage devices.

The communicators worn by Edson and others looked exactly the same as the common Apple wireless earbuds available on the market.

But their functions were significantly more advanced, with not only longer battery life and better sound recording and playback quality but also encrypted communication capabilities.

Special agents using cell phones?

That’s just utterly low-level!

Time correction, communication test.

The three assistants who came with Edson this time.

Nester was a master of reconnaissance; with just a glance at a photo, he could remember the precise appearance and was especially good at tracking and surveillance.

Tony was a cyber master; once in the car, he set up his laptop and established the communication antenna, responsible for support.

Enyol was a master assassin, proficient in poisoning, sniping, stealth attacks, and excelling in close-quarter combat, yet he looked sunny and handsome.

As for Edson…

With his tall and muscular physique, he was definitely the ‘tank’ type in combat, with overwhelming strength.

This infiltration operation was too simple for him, so he decided not to join in.

Twenty minutes later.

The two vehicles arrived at Tianyuan Haoting one after the other, using a dedicated passage to enter the external parking area of the underground garage.

As Tianyuan’s most prestigious high-end residential area, the parking allocation was already quite generous.

The residents were all wealthy, and there were often guests coming and going, so there was a level dedicated to parking for external vehicles.

Now it was also convenient for private cars coming to dine at “Farmer’s Simple Dish” Restaurant to park temporarily.

After parking the two cars.

Edson didn’t get out of his vehicle and only let Nester and Enyol go after discussing with them for a while.

It was a bit hot and dry in the summer of Tianyuan.

The two dressed in shorts, short-sleeved shirts, and sandals, looking relaxed and casual, no different from the foreigners one could see on the street.

But who could imagine that these two were high-level agents?

A special passage had once been built for customers to enter and exit the sales department conveniently.

Now it was perfect for self-driving patrons coming to the restaurant, allowing them to pass through the underground corridor to the small plaza outside the shop.

“Oh my god, this restaurant is really doing great business!”

Nester and his companion were somewhat astounded as they emerged from the passage.

The restaurant was already full of customers, and it was bustling with activity.

Outside, there was a huge LCD TV with many plastic stools set up.

They allowed waiting customers to watch sports matches while waiting for a free table.

The two planned to enter the restaurant directly, but…

“Sorry, gentlemen, it’s full inside.

Please take your queue number and wait for your turn,” said the waiter, blocking their way and printing out a small ticket from a queuing machine for them.

Good Lord!

The two exchanged a look, both feeling rather frustrated.

The ticket had a queue number 64 on it, followed by a line of small text.

“There are 41 guests ahead of you in the queue.

Please pay attention to the called numbers…”

A quick glance around the small plaza.

Clearly, there were more than 41 people, probably 41 groups, with some groups taking only one number.

“Damn it, the business of this restaurant is too good!”

“What do we do now?

We can’t just barge in, can we?”

The two looked at each other, about to use the restroom as an excuse to enter the restaurant.

However, upon scanning the surroundings, they quickly noticed a sign.

Damn it!

Turns out there was a public restroom in the small garden on the side of the building?

What was this place before?

With many people watching the game and waiting, and the waiter diligently guarding the entrance, how were they going to get in?

The two walked over to a quiet spot and immediately sought help from Edson.

“Boss, we can’t get in!

The business is too booming; they’ve asked us to queue, and there are forty-one people…”

“Are you dumb?

Don’t you know to find an excuse to slip in?

Going to the restroom, looking for someone…

there’s always a reason to blend in, right?”

Edson was furious.

How could Nester, the reconnaissance expert, short-circuit his brain in this populous country?

Haven’t seen a restaurant packed with people waiting for a party-like atmosphere?

It’s quite common domestically.

A restaurant with good reputation becomes a hotspot for online check-ins and a battlefield for public consumption; it’s even more terrifying during holidays.

Nester, chided, was indeed a bit unaccustomed.

Who queues up for meals like this overseas?

In an attempt to blend in like normal people, they almost forgot their primary duties.

Quickly.

Nester returned, and this time he pretended they were tourists who had traveled to multiple countries.

With many followers on Twitter, they were considered internet celebrities in America.

They didn’t intend to dine but just wanted to take photos and videos for promotion.

When the waiter heard this, he immediately communicated with the manager using a walkie-talkie.

International visitors coming by, offering free promotion…

The manager didn’t think too much and took the initiative to welcome them personally.

“Wow, your business is doing really well, the taste must be top-notch!”

Nester quickly slipped into his role, asking questions here and there.

He engaged warmly with the manager, learning about the restaurant’s specialty dishes and service philosophy, among other things.

Posing and pretending, it was as if they were journalists conducting an interview.

Enyol, on the other hand, instantly understood and swiftly brought out the smartphone Xu Dongbing had given him, starting to record.

He acted like a cameraman, trailing and filming the two.

“Can we take a look at the kitchen?

I heard the owner, Wu Jie, personally cooks the barbecue, right?”

“The kitchen is this way, and for transparency, customers can see directly through the tempered glass, although Mr.

Wu isn’t here today…”

The manager led Nester and his companion to the customer supervision area next to the kitchen.

Through the glass, the kitchen was in full view.

It was clean and hygienic, yet bustling with activity.

One dark-skinned, robust chef with a simple smile was in charge of the coordination and direction.

“That’s our manager Zhang, he was the one who proposed the populist dining concept for this restaurant.

Would you like to interview him?”

“Oh!

Of course, it would be an honor!” Nester agreed readily.

The manager immediately went into the kitchen to fetch Zhang Hao.

And in the earpiece Nester wore, Edson’s latest instructions soon came through.

“Zhang Hao is Wu Jie’s best friend.

He must know Wu Jie’s whereabouts.

Find a way to figure it out!”

Ahem, ahem!

Nester cleared his throat twice as a sign he had received the signal.

Before long.

Zhang Hao came out laughing heartily.

“Good gracious!

This is unbelievable, I never thought my little restaurant would gain international fame!”

Upon coming out of the kitchen and seeing the two blond and blue-eyed foreigners, Zhang Hao couldn’t stop smiling.

An innocent bumpkin from a remote village, how could he have ever dreamed of world renown!

With that excitement.

Zhang Hao even began to speak in foreign languages.

“Nice to…

to meet you!”

After struggling for a while, he finally remembered the words.

It had been so many years since he finished high school; remembering a sentence in English was quite a feat for him.

Nester gave an embarrassed smile and hurriedly shook hands with the enthusiastic Zhang Hao.

“We two like to travel the world and we can speak Mandarin!”

Zhang Hao uttered an “Ah!” and looked a bit awkward.

“You can speak it!

Well then…

please, follow me to the backyard!

I’ll tell you all about my restaurant…”

Suddenly, Zhang Hao stopped in his tracks and called out to the manager, “Hurry up and get mom and dad, tell them some foreigners, oh no, some guests want to interview us!

Quick!”

Nester and Enyol exchanged glances, feeling like they’d encountered a simpleton.

The two of them weren’t tourists, nor were they there for some damned interview.

They were just trying to find out where Wu Jie was.

Yet, after they sat down in the backyard, Zhang Hao was reluctant to get to the point.

He first had tea and water brought in for them, with fruits and pastries to follow.

Then he changed into a brand-new chef’s uniform and had Joy put some makeup on for him.

As a regular live streamer, makeup was a piece of cake for him.

And hearing that two international internet celebrities were visiting, she rushed over enthusiastically, wanting to be involved.

It was no surprise that Joy, who was capable of creating chaos and trying to hook up with Zhang Hao to get live streaming opportunities from Wu Jie, would do such a thing.

After all…

She was desperate to become famous!

The situation seemed slightly out of control!

Not only did Zhang Hao’s parents arrive, but even Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo, who hadn’t returned home, came too.

Just running a catering business had attracted international friends.

Although they were internet celebrities and not very famous media outlets, it was still something to celebrate!

Especially for their older generation, who had lived in the countryside for most of their lives and had only seen foreigners on TV.

Working the lands with their backs to the heavens!

In the poverty-stricken mountainous areas, it was rare to even see people from other villages, let alone foreigners.

Now seeing genuine blond-haired, blue-eyed individuals, how could they not be amazed?

They had intended to inquire about Wu Jie’s whereabouts, but ended up filling the small round table.

Anyone unaware would think they were there to enjoy a meal together in the backyard!

Of course!

As ridiculous as it was.

The harvest wasn’t small at all!

They actually got to meet Wu Jie’s parents—what did that imply?

If Wu Jie was really the culprit, couldn’t they kidnap his parents and coerce him into handing over the secret data and returning the huge sum of money?

This was a ‘golden opportunity’ beyond comparison!

Of course!

Ideas abounded, but Nester obviously couldn’t discuss them in front of so many people, not with Edson at least!

And this crowd kept chattering, asking too many questions.

“Is the moon really rounder in your country than it is here?”

“Some people who idolize foreign countries say that even the air there is sweet and fragrant.

Is that true?”

“Does America have barbecues?

Can you go out in the middle of the night like we do here, to casually enjoy skewers and beer?

How’s the business?”

“Try our special grilled meat later.

If you like it, we might even go abroad and open a restaurant in America one day!”

“I heard that everyone in your country can carry guns.

So, if there’s a conflict, doesn’t it just turn into a shootout on the streets?”

“How do you have such white skin?

Don’t you get tanned by the sun?”

“Is your country at war every day?

I often watch the news, saying there are suicides and bombings, with so many people dying!”

…

The endless questions completely baffled their ears.

Zhang Hao, Joy, and others who had never encountered foreigners before really treated Nester as an international traveler.

Their curiosity led to all sorts of questions.

Enyol was having trouble keeping up on the sidelines, and when he heard some ridiculous questions, he almost couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud.

Finally!

Nester seized an opportunity and quickly raised his hand to signal.

“Don’t all talk at once.

We’ll take questions later, one by one, from left to right, slowly!”

“Also, why isn’t Mr.

Wu here at the restaurant?

Could we interview him as well?”

Nester cleverly brought up the question.

An elated Wu Jianguo immediately took out his mobile phone and called Wu Jie.

“Jie, where are you?

What?

You’ve gone to the company?

Working overtime?

If it’s nothing important, come back quickly!”

“There are two globe-trotting foodies here at the restaurant, they are also some sort of international internet celebrities, and they want to help us with publicity!”

“Everyone’s here for the interview; it won’t do without you.

Hurry back!”

After hanging up, Wu Jianguo immediately said with a laugh:

“He’ll be back soon.

Can I be the first to ask a question?”

Nester gave Enyol a meaningful look, then nodded and said:

“Sure, sir, go ahead and ask!”

Wu Jianguo immediately asked:

“What do you think of Eastern and Western culinary cultures?

We have frying, steaming, boiling, all sorts of cooking techniques.

What about you?”

Nester was a bit speechless, left with no choice but to ramble about the differences between Chinese and Western cuisines.

Meanwhile, in the underground garage.

Edson had been listening in all along, and watching the live scene through Enyol’s phone.

Not only did he recognize Wu Jie’s parents, but he also heard Wu Jianguo ordering Wu Jie to come back quickly.

He almost laughed out loud.

“I never expected this!

The mission turned out to be so simple, too smooth!”

Edson rubbed his hands together, looking forward to Wu Jie’s quick return…
