Getting the best from Tarkov

Chapter 34 2 Mao is missing

First, after learning that Liao Fan didn't know Ermao's real name, her mother tacitly avoided mentioning any information about her. The only thing she revealed from beginning to end was that she had been out of contact for a long time because of that "mission."

This shows that not everyone can know Ermao’s real name.

Of course, some people think that this is a bit far-fetched. After all, many people do not want their real names to be known by strangers on the Internet.

But don’t forget that the person chatting with Liao Fan on WeChat was Ermao’s mother.

For people of that era, there was generally no concept of netizens.

For them, many people treat netizens and friends as the same thing.

Therefore, it stands to reason that after getting Liao Fan's affirmation, he would treat Liao Fan as Ermao's friend.

But even when facing Ermao's friends, her mother would be careful not to reveal her daughter's real name, which clearly shows that Ermao's identity is sensitive.

The videos and photos in her circle of friends and live broadcast account can also prove this indirectly.

It is very unreasonable for an ordinary girl to have an almost perfect figure but never show her face.

Therefore, Liao Fan initially guessed that Ermao's job was either in highly confidential finance or scientific research.

They are completely isolated from the outside world during work.

This is the case with Liao Fan's own team. Every time there is a big move, they will book a big hotel, and then all their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will be done in the hotel during this period. They will hardly have any contact with the outside world, including communication.

In addition, Liao Fan could think of other jobs that were more suitable for Ermao's current situation, such as being an undercover police officer or a secret government violent organization like the secret forces.

This type of work requires identity confidentiality and is extremely dangerous, so not only is external contact cut off during operations, but personal information is also kept confidential at every level.

In addition, there is something wrong with Ermao's mother, that is the message she replied today.

You should know that there are generally three situations in which parents look through their children’s mobile phones.

The first is simply wanting to use their children's phones. In today's society, young children generally have phones with better specs than their parents. Plus, some parents simply enjoy using their phones, so they use their children's phones when they're not around.

If this is the case, when parents see their children frequently receiving messages from the opposite sex on their phones, most of them will choose to ignore them, unless they see something that makes them feel very bad. However, the messages sent by Liao Fan are basically greetings.

So this situation does not quite fit Ermao's mother's current condition.

The second situation is that parents have an extremely strong desire to protect their children and will try every means to pry into their children's privacy whenever they get the chance.

If this is the case, Ermao's mother would definitely not have looked through Ermao's mobile phone until today. If she had looked at it before, when she found that someone of the opposite sex frequently contacted her daughter, she would definitely try to find out the relationship between this person and her daughter.

Therefore, this situation is the least in line with the current situation.

As for the third type, it is because they are worried about their children who have lost contact with them and want to look through their personal belongings to see if there are any clues to their children's current situation.

Combining his initial speculation about Ermao's work, Liao Fan felt that the most likely scenario was that Ermao was a secret violent agency of a government department, similar to an undercover police officer or a secret force.

This time, he must have received a secret mission suddenly, so he was unable to communicate with his family in advance, so that his mother would worry about him because he had been out of contact for a long time.

And there is a high possibility that this mission will not go smoothly.

As for why he made such a guess, Liao Fan could only say it was intuition.

There is no reason, I just feel that something might have gone wrong with the other party's mission.

But since he guessed that the other party might be in danger, Liao Fan could do nothing.

Not to mention whether Liao Fan can find out the other party’s current situation.

Liao Fan didn't even know Ermao's real name and appearance, which made it impossible for him to use intelligence files to view his personal information.

You have to know that when using intelligence files to investigate a person, you must at least know the person's appearance and name, and the more detailed the information provided, the richer the information displayed.

Liao Fan once experimented with Yang Xue and Tang Yunong.

When checking Tang Yunong, he only provided her name and a photo he took secretly.

Therefore, the information displayed is not as rich as imagined.

Apart from her personal habits, preferences, places she frequents, personal assets, etc., there is only a small amount of social-related information.

For example, Liao Fan knew that when Tang Yunong's company was just starting to pick up, in order to maintain good relationships with relevant departments, she often attended their social events.

But as the old saying goes: If you stand by the river too often, you will get your feet wet. In the end, Tang Yunong was unable to avoid it, and ended up being drugged one night.

I don't know whether to say she is lucky or unlucky.

She was lucky because she was on her period that day, but she went into shock from poisoning shortly after drinking the drugged wine.

Because someone almost died, the leader at the time was immediately imprisoned.

But it would be wrong to say that she was unlucky. Because of this incident, she not only avoided being raped, but also became best friends with the new leader who later replaced the leader who was imprisoned.

That's right, the person who took over from the unlucky boss was a woman. This also made her company run smoothly since then, and it never encountered any trouble in terms of policies.

When Liao Fan wrote Yang Xue's name into a new intelligence file and pasted a close-up photo of Yang Xue on it, because Liao Fan himself had some understanding of her real information, the information displayed that time was quite comprehensive.

Although the depth of each item is not very deep, the information is very comprehensive.

From personal information, to her network of contacts, to people who had conflicts with her or had favors with her, and what happened at the time, basically everything is covered.

For example, Liao Fan knew that Yang Xue’s biological father’s life in Russia was not as good as he told Yang Xue, and it might even be very bad.

Because the man's remarried wife in Russia was very beautiful, after giving birth to a daughter for Yang's father, she was accidentally murdered in an accident.

The murderer was the second son of the president of a local Russian power company. Although he had no right to inherit the company, he was very favored because he had a son in his old age.

The matter was eventually settled by the other party using their connections and paying money, but the intelligence documents did not show what exactly happened.

Liao Fan guessed that if he wanted to know more information, he might need to use additional intelligence to check out the information about that woman.

It is estimated that the reason why Yang Xue's father never took Yang Xue home was because of this incident. Although the other party spent money to settle the matter, for that kind of person, it was a loss. I think Yang's father's life would not be easy in the future.

He put away his phone, finished the remaining half of the pancake and egg in two bites, and took the other person back home in a car while Yang Xue was stunned.

However, whether it is Yang Xue's father or mother, or Ermao, in the final analysis, it has little to do with him.

One was a netizen who played games with me, and we got along very well.

The other one is... To be honest, Liao Fan himself couldn't clearly explain what his relationship with Yang Xue was.

Boyfriend or girlfriend? Yang Xue had clearly rejected it a long time ago. Lovers is a bit of a stretch. If I really want to elaborate, I can barely call them close friends.

Sometimes Liao Fan even suspected that in her eyes, apart from being a partner and half a boss, he was just an automatic human toy.

……

At this moment, in the laboratory department of the hospital, a female doctor was pondering over a test report.

After Liao Fan and the police asked Yang Xue to leave, the female doctor who examined Liao Fan fell into deep thought as she looked at the new report in her hand.

It wasn't until dawn that she came to her senses.

"Strange, this report can't be wrong, right? If the information in the report is correct, then how can a person's metabolism be so fast? It's so fast that it's completely contrary to common sense.

At this metabolic rate, as long as you don't drink a lot of alcohol, just a small amount can be excreted from the body through its own metabolism.

But this isn't the strangest thing. The strangest thing is, why does this person's DNA information feel a little off? I should ask my mentor."

Thinking about it, the female doctor uploaded this test report, along with another one she had secretly prepared, and sent it to her graduate advisor: "Teacher Chen, please take a look at these two test reports, especially the second DNA test report. Why does it look so wrong to me?"

......

Shanghai is actually very cold in winter.

Although the lowest temperature is only around 0°C, the humid air can instantly wet all the clothes you wear.

If people in the north feel it is too cold, they will choose to stay indoors.

But in Shanghai, if people feel too cold, most of them choose to go outdoors.

Of course, these all refer to ordinary residential areas or suburban alleys.

If you live in the city center, it's a different story.

For example, Liao Fan at this moment is staying in the company and refuses to leave.

There was no other way. The huge house at home was too spacious for just him and Yang Xue. It would be better for them to stay in the company. After all, the company's office building had central air conditioning on every floor, so at least the indoor temperature was constant.

Looking at Tang Yunong sitting on the sofa in front of him, warming her hands with a cup of hot water and shaking her slender long legs, Liao Fan couldn't help but feel a headache.

"No, Chairman, are you serious? Are you really going to Japan?"

"What else? Do you think I'm teasing you?"

After giving Liao Fan a blank look, Tang Yunong tightened her heavy windbreaker again.

Originally, she shouldn't have done that. The distance from getting off the car to entering the office building was only a dozen steps. As a result, after she got off the car, her cell phone fell into the gap between the seat and the armrest box.

Tang Yunong was busy for more than 10 minutes before she took out her cell phone. She was almost frozen from a peacock into a chick.

"Tell me the truth, what are you doing in Japan this time? Don't throw some banquet to fool people. You haven't eaten pork, do you think I've never seen pigs run? You work in medical aesthetics. If you're in the medical field and want to attend a banquet abroad, even in Asia, I can understand going to Thailand. But you say going to Japan? Does it deserve it?"

"Um...just tell me whether you're going or not. If not, don't ask so many questions~"

"Tsk, then I won't go."

"No, no, I said, isn't it okay? It's just that a childhood friend of mine is getting married and asked me to come over."

"Haha, I told you, it's definitely not some industry banquet."

"Um... isn't this also a party? It's a party anyway, why do you care what the theme is?"

After hearing Tang Yunong's words, Liao Fan was speechless for a moment, but he still had some concerns: "Why don't you take your husband with you?"

After hearing Liao Fan's question, Tang Yunong's expression froze obviously, but the embarrassment, grievance, and a hint of fear in that moment did not escape Liao Fan's eyes.

But it only took a moment for Tang Yunong to regain her normal composure: "Don't ask so many questions, just tell me whether you're going or not."

"Tell me the truth, or I definitely won't go. What if something goes wrong? I've come all this way here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. What if you sell me out again?"

"Ahhh! I'm really impressed by you! You're so slow, are you still a man?"

After saying this, Tang Yunong turned her head aside pretending to be angry, but the sneaky glance she gave Liao Fan exposed her weak nature.

Seeing that getting angry couldn't scare Liao Fan, Tang Yunong finally gave in and said, "Well, okay, I'll tell you the truth. I grew up with this childhood friend of mine. We actually have a very normal relationship, just an ordinary man-woman relationship.

But my husband is quite sensitive. When we got married, we almost had a falling out because of my childhood friend. If he knew I was going to his wedding this time, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.”

After hearing Tang Yunong's explanation, Liao Fan wasn't surprised by her husband's pettiness. Instead, she became interested in the relationship between him and his childhood friend. "Is your friendship really pure? Can there really be pure friendship between a man and a woman?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true!" Tang Yunong said without hesitation after hearing this. However, seeing that Liao Fan didn't believe her at all, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Okay, I admit, he did pursue me in high school. But I didn't like him."

Liao Fan, who was completely ignited by the gossip fire, did not think it would be inappropriate to dig up other people's little secrets.

"What?"

"Well, how should I put it? My childhood friend is actually a pretty decent person, just with some minor flaws. He's a bit effeminate, and a bit petty. He fits the stereotype of 'Shanghainese men' that people from other cities have. Most importantly, he's very short, a head shorter than me..."

“Hahahaha…”

After listening to Tang Yunong's description, Liao Fan laughed out loud in an unkind way.

To be honest, Liao Fan didn't quite believe the things about being effeminate, after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but Liao Fan believed that the last point must be what Tang Yunong could not accept the most.

You have to know that although Tang Yunong is very tall, that is only compared to girls.

If you really measure his height, he'd be just over 170cm. But if he's a head shorter than her, then this man is probably not even 160cm tall, which is quite short indeed.
