With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

Chen Beixuan, who was out for an early morning drive, suddenly received a phone call.

Seeing a somewhat familiar number, he answered it without much thought.

Feng Jun's voice came through the phone.

"Your target has been kidnapped. Do you still need to continue monitoring?"

"Huh? Kidnapping?"

Chen Beixuan was completely dumbfounded.

It's amazing that such a niche word could appear in his life.

The wayward son Chen Fan has been kidnapped... that's interesting...

He was about to gloat when he suddenly paused.

After looking around to make sure no one was there, he asked in a serious, low voice.

Do you even know where you were tied up, or who tied you up?

"The incident occurred in Unit 1, Building 2 of the Harmony Residential Complex. It's unclear who committed the kidnapping, but..."

"But what?"

"But since it's a kidnapping, the other party will definitely contact you."

Chen Beixuan nodded to himself, then asked with some doubt.

Why didn't you call the police?

"My principle is to never call the police, and also..."

"...What I did was illegal."

"..."

It's honest enough, and the reasons are compelling enough.

"If you wish to cancel the wiretapping, please come to the store to collect your money when you have time," Feng Jun reminded him.

Chen Beixuan rubbed his temples and refused immediately upon hearing his words.

"No need. Could you please help me investigate who did it with the remaining money? Can you do that?"

"No problem, that's easy."

Feng Jun naturally had no reason to refuse.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Beixuan pondered as he held the phone in his hand.

If I'm not mistaken, the kidnappers were after him.

For some unknown reason, Chen Fan went to his old house and even shielded him from this calamity.

As expected of the official shield, it can even block this.

He didn't know what to say...

If the other party kills the hostage, he will set off firecrackers.

If the other party takes the opportunity to threaten him, he will provoke them to kill the hostage!

Hmm... he made all the money!

However, since the other party was able to find the address of the old house, the location of the villa has probably been exposed as well.

He wasn't surprised by this, because it was inevitable.

People are afraid of famous pigs.

It's only a matter of time before we find him.

But what he didn't expect was that someone had already found him before him.

Chen Beixuan stared intently at a beautiful short-haired woman running past him.

You can't tell anything about this woman from her appearance at all.

Only by breaking it open can you see its true appearance.

"Reconnaissance skills!"

Swish!

A futuristic, semi-illusory panel appeared before my eyes.

------

Name: Xu Jing

Occupation: Soldier

Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 20, Intelligence 15, Constitution 14, Charisma 7, Luck 4.

Skills: hand-to-hand combat, grappling, firearms proficiency, disguise and reconnaissance... (and more).

Brief introduction: Member of the Snow Wolf Special Forces, calm personality, female, 27 years old, height 168cm, measurements... (continued).

------

He had seen this woman since the day he moved into the villa area.

It's clear that the government had already identified him, but simply hadn't revealed it yet.

Chen Beixuan stroked the stubble on his chin as he pondered.

Since it's already been exposed, we might as well lay our cards on the table and fight for our interests.

Having made up his mind, he sat there and waited silently.

He called out to Xu Jing when she passed by again after running a lap.

"Is there something you need, sir?"

Xu Jingqiao looked puzzled and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

Chen Beixuan stared at her and got straight to the point.

“Miss Xu, take me to see your superior officer. I’d like to have a talk with him.”

Xu Jing: !!!

"Uh...sir, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

A stiff smile appeared on Xu Jing's face, but her heart was in turmoil!

How did he recognize me?!

Did I give myself away somewhere?

And how did he know my surname is Xu?!

Is there a mole within the organization?

Chen Beixuan feigned profundity, calculating with his fingers: "Your name is Xu Jing, 27 years old, served in the army for 8 years, and your measurements are..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I understand!"

Xu Jing quickly raised her hand to interrupt him, not wanting him to continue.

She finally understood.

The old man knew her identity perfectly well; pretending not to know wouldn't help.

But this suited her just fine.

Her mission was to make gentle contact with her and protect her covertly.

Even if the old man hadn't stopped her today, she would have used her own methods to find a topic to talk about.

Getting straight to the point saves a lot of trouble.

There was only one thing that puzzled her.

That is, where did the old man get the information from!

Did she expose herself, or was there a mole within the team?

Xu Jing couldn't help but look Chen Beixuan up and down with her eyes, and slowly said.

"...Follow me."

Chen Beixuan followed her into a villa, the interior of which was simply furnished.

I went to the window and could see the building where he lived through it.

The house was clearly chosen specifically to make it easier to observe his home.

Turning around, Xu Jing had already opened her laptop, placed it on the table, and turned around.

"Our captain is on the other end. You can talk to him if you have anything to say."

Chen Beixuan nodded and slowly pushed the button forward.

"Old Chen, do you still recognize me?"

The man in the picture spoke with a smile; he was none other than Night Owl from the game.

"Hmph, you, the dignified Snow Wolf Guild Master, have no martial ethics! You actually bully this disabled old man."

"If I weren't so good at predicting things, I probably would have been kept in the dark forever."

Chen Beixuan also smiled, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"We're just afraid of scaring you; please understand our predicament."

"Getting back to the main topic, can we talk about collaboration?"

Night Owl's smile faded, and he became slightly more serious.

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow. "How do you want to cooperate?"

"We'll protect you and your family's safety, and you'll help our guild across the myriad realms. How about we each get what we need?"

Night Owl stated his thoughts directly.

"Sure, but I'll decide when to help. Staying in first place isn't easy, you understand?"

Chen Beixuan said with a smile.

Night Owl's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Understand my ass!"

You, Old Man Chen, are 20 levels ahead of the second-ranked player. You're telling me it's not easy?

Hmph! You old fox!

"I understand! It's good for us if you stay in first place, I definitely understand that!"

"Alright, Captain Night Owl is a straightforward person, so it's settled then."

Chen Beixuan smiled with satisfaction.

The two then discussed the details of their collaboration before ending the call.

After seeing Chen Beixuan off, Xu Jing called Ye Xiao again.

"Captain, should we get involved in his son's matter...?"

"If he doesn't say it, just pretend you don't know and take his will as the standard."

"Understood, there's one more thing."

Xu Jing recounted how Chen Beixuan had discovered her identity.

Night Owl frowned slightly after hearing this.

The information about the Snow Wolf team members is confidential, so this matter is indeed a bit strange.

"I will investigate this matter. You don't need to worry about it for now. Just focus on doing a good job of protection."

"clear."

Xu Jing nodded.

......

After shutting down the communication, Night Owl leaned back in his camouflage chair, his fingertips twirling a ballpoint pen as he fell into deep thought.

Shortly after purchasing the guild token, they obtained all of Chen Beixuan's information.

After a meeting of top leaders, it was unanimously agreed that a gentle approach and protective measures should be taken.

Taking a hard line is the worst possible approach.

Great powers typically act with the big picture in mind.

Chen Beixuan's performance in the game was simply unmatched, making it impossible for them not to take him seriously.

So far, the contact has gone very smoothly, and everything is developing in a positive direction.

"Snow Wolf Guild... is about to take off..."

He couldn't help but grin.

......
