"Future Citizen"

Chapter 44
It was getting late, and Ryan returned to WM's office in L City from the Seaside Plaza.All the people who accepted the tasks issued by the office have left after the day's work, and only Barana is still waiting, quietly waiting for Ryan's return... When Ryan appeared in Barana's vision In the middle, she stood up quickly and walked quickly to Ryan.

"Master let me stay! You can't be here alone, I can accompany you..." A line of hot tears ran across Barana's cheeks.

Ryan looked at her tearful eyes, smiled and picked up the tissue on the table at hand and handed it over. "Obey the arrangement and do a good job at the headquarters."

"But, you are here by yourself, how can we rest assured? In case something happens, at least someone must take care of you!"

"Little fool, have you forgotten that the most abundant thing in our WM is human resources? I will never be able to fight alone."

"Master, you understand what I mean, I mean by your side, always by your side..." Barana's voice trembled.

"I know, but it's more important that no one else has an accident. Hurry up and pack up your things and get ready to go. On the way back just now, I have arranged for someone to book a plane ticket. They will escort you back to the WM headquarters. Iger has arrived at the headquarters and is waiting for you to go back , you join us in the work of the rise of all-media companies. Haven’t the global corporate strength ranking and in-depth reports already started? You should focus on doing this well and solidly. This is our first step to go abroad and go international. One step." Ryan's eyes became sharp.

"Well, you don't have to worry about work, we will definitely finish it. But I still don't understand why..."

"Okay," Ryan interrupted Barana's question, "We are all human, but I also have some things that I can't figure out for the time being; it doesn't matter, time can verify everything, and we will all understand soon. Back to the headquarters It will be much safer, and you will not have any more accidents."

"WM", looking at Ryan's sharper gaze, Barana could only confirm the reply without saying more.

"Someone will come to pick you up in a while and go back to your residence to pack your luggage. The flight time may be later. I have to eat dinner well, so I won't send you off to the plane."

"Well, thank you, Master. I will give you the car keys. I have sent you the detailed records of Wolff and I's daily work. I will continue to urge all WM staff to abide by the rules of the entire record. This is like the black box of an airplane. We know how important it is."

"WM", Ryan looked into Barana's eyes with relief, and after confirming the reply, he turned and left.

"Master..." Looking at Ryan's leaving back, Barana seemed to have a lot to say to him.

"Don't say goodbye, don't worry, we'll see you soon..." Ryan didn't look back until he was out of Barana's sight.

Ryan walked to the parking lot of the office. After getting in the car, he converted the file sent by Barana received in the on-board computer into voice. He was going to listen to Wolff while driving on the way home. The content of recent work records.

……

When he was about to go to the residence, Ryan saw a figure waiting at the door of his house from a distance.This figure made him feel very familiar, but he couldn't see clearly in the darkness.He refueled, wanting to go over quickly to see what happened.

Ryan's car gradually approached the figure, and the bright headlights dispelled the darkness in front of the house.The back figure in the light realized Ryan's return, he turned around, and it turned out to be Bull.

Lane turned off the engine, got out of the car, and said to Bull, "Brother, why didn't you call, how long have you been waiting?"

"It didn't take long. I think you should be back soon at this time, so you didn't call. And some things are not suitable for talking on the phone. It should be better to come to your house." Bull looked behind Ryan while talking to Ryan, and their surroundings.

"Go in and talk." Ryan unlocked the door with his fingerprints, put his arm around Bull's shoulder, and walked into the house together.

……

At the bar, Ryan opened a bottle of wine, poured two glasses, and sat next to Bull.

"Shado has made special security for this place a long time ago. If you have anything to say, brother, it doesn't matter." Ryan looked at Bull and said.

"Tiger, the world has evaporated. After many investigations, there is no news, no one is alive, no dead body, no trace. From the suddenness of the incident, it is very likely that he was kidnapped or assassinated; according to According to everyone's description, he didn't show any appearance before he disappeared, and he didn't leave any explanation to anyone, which shows that he himself was also in an accidental state." After Bull finished speaking, he took a big sip of wine.

Ryan didn't answer, and reminded Bull with his eyes to continue.

"As one of the closest brothers who have been with him for so many years, the only thing I can think of now is that it has something to do with Crowe. Crowe asked Tiger many times before to join forces with you, but he refused. And they The two often met in private for a period of time, and Tiger must have known a lot of secrets that he shouldn't know. Now Tiger's sudden disappearance, if he was imprisoned or killed, it must be because someone didn't want Tiger to stand up and say something, So keep silent." Bull held the wine glass tightly in his hand, with a determined expression.

"Tiger wasn't completely in a state of accident. After all, he dismissed you and asked you to go abroad to do business. It means that he felt something in advance, at least he didn't want to hurt your good brother." Ryan motioned Bull to pick up the wine glass, and the two lightly touched After a while, I took a sip.

Bull: "That's true. But, what makes Tiger so cautious, even a little scared? He's not a shy person..."

Ryan looked at the Buddhist beads that Tiger had been wearing on his left wrist recently, and said: "I have an indescribable feeling, I think others should be fine. From his personal character, if What was foreseen in advance was a threat, and he will definitely use all his strength to prepare for a battle! He will definitely gather all the brothers around him, and he will not even send you away. He may be leaving alone to complete a task, and he does not want to Let others know, and it is inconvenient to bring anyone around him with him, including you."

"Oh?" Hearing what Ryan said, the valve plug of Boolean's thinking seemed to be loosened. He blinked his eyes and tried hard to think.

Ryan went on to say: "Recalling Kate's message when she left, she should have a better understanding of my character, and she also knows that I care about this rare relationship with her. She set a deadline for me to leave L City as my breakup with her." Benchmark. The implication is that I don’t want me to leave City L, and I’m betting that I won’t leave. This means two possibilities: on the one hand, I may be dealing with some things around me; on the other hand, I may not move , it is more conducive for her to handle the things that need to be dealt with. Since someone wants to make something happen to Cheri who is completing the task in other places, it is very likely that some people think that I will definitely leave L City to visit Cherry. I also hope that I can be transferred from L City. Judging from the two opposites of wanting me to go and stay, Kate and the group that hurt Cherry should be rivals. Tiger and Kate grew up in L City Childhood sweethearts grew up together, we all know that they have a very good relationship; Tiger has a fierce personality, but no matter what the situation is, no matter how hot Kate is to him or makes him unable to step down, etc., he can bear it, He will even take care of the man Kate chooses. I have known for a long time that Tiger said that I was kind to him, and it was not enough for him to become so close to me in a short period of time. There must be something because of Kate The reason why I like me is. Brother, from the last time you contacted Tiger and Kate when you left me from abroad, Tiger disappeared earlier than Kate, which means that if they are doing the same thing, it is very Maybe it was Tiger who found Kate, and she decided to go with him after that. Moreover, as Tiger's apprentice, Wolfe must know something about it. He said that it might be better for him to leave, so I have to think of it. Seeing the three of them should be doing one thing."

These words made Bull a little stunned. He desperately followed Ryan's thinking rhythm, and it was too late to think independently.

Ryan picked up the wine bottle, filled their glasses, motioned to Bull again, and each took a sip.After a hot liquor passed through his throat and went down the esophagus, Ryan shook the square cup in his hand slightly, and continued to talk about his analysis: "Assume that everything that is happening now is aimed at me. And I was stripped of almost all the people around me, including my shadow who has always been inseparable and sheltering my brother Shaduo; basically without any protection, I am still fine until now, even deliberately making a big fuss by myself, When I was blatantly passing through the market, I didn’t find anyone who jumped out and made any threats or harm to me. I actually really want to let me see what happened, so I can use my tongue to inquire about it.”

"No, I said brother." Bull lifted his butt and moved his bar chair closer to Ryan. "As you said, it's strange that the assumptions are all about you, but you're fine now. I'm a little confused. Why?"

"It's not because of anything, it's what it means." Ryan handed Bull a cigarette, took one and put it near his mouth, lit it and took a puff.When the exhaled smoke filled his eyes, Ryan sighed softly: "At least it shows that I am right to stick to L City, and if I use myself as a bait, all the shrimp soldiers, crab generals and fish who come to bite me must have been caught behind my back." s attack."

Bull understood a little bit, he straightened his back, and then Ryan said: "Brother means, you are a middle point, and there is an attack circle on your periphery, and there is another attack circle on the periphery of this attack circle." Our circle that has surrounded the enemy, when the attack circle that is coming towards you is about to approach you, let the outer circle of our own people be wiped out without waiting for a shot?"

"There is such a possibility, but after all, everything is just speculation. If so, then I am in the open and keep still, which is most conducive to them encircling and annihilating the enemy." Ryan said, putting the unfinished half in his hand A cigarette was put out in the ashtray.

"Now that Tiger is not here, and he has completely become ours, my previous mission of following him is considered complete. From now on, let me always be by your side! It is rare that we finally have the opportunity to get along day and night, and I will accompany you Face it all!" Bull slid his wine glass over on the table and collided with Ryan's wine glass.Two glasses of wine, dancing together in the turmoil...
