While Diego was killing everyone in Fortress No. 5, thousands of miles away in the offshore waters of Kalimantan Island, two groups of people, Zhong Yi and Pu Che Shi, Xu Xi and Jiang Yao, were still facing each other on a small fishing boat. Both sides were at war with each other but maintained restraint. No one dared to fire the first shot, and the atmosphere was tense.
What? What is Yun Ming doing, you ask? He is still chatting with God's favored one, that is, Gordon Gardner.
From the time Gordon got on the ship to now, it has been a very hard hour. Without him, he is tired of pretending. He didn't expect Yun Ming to be so talkative. He just listened to Yun Ming's nonsense at first. All he had to do was listen and sigh with a few modal particles when he got to the highlights. At this stage, Gordon was able to do two things at once, dealing with Yun Ming while arranging his troops in his chest and abdomen. But unknowingly, Yun Ming took away the initiative in chatting in the middle and later stages. He stopped talking about the Ripple clan and instead checked Gordon's household registration. Gordon was tired of dealing with it and could no longer think calmly.
During this hour-long chat, Gordon gradually felt that Yun Ming's skill in using clichés was extremely good.
Yun Ming's speaking skills are mainly divided into two types, one is to leave words behind. This operation is also very common in ordinary people's chats. It is to actively send topics to the other party to keep the other party's participation in the chat, making the chat more like a conversation rather than just a one-man show.
Less common is the other kind, the double routine. For example, everyone will understand: During a blind date, it seems unskillful for the woman to directly ask the man whether he has a house and a car, but asking how much the parking fee in your community is per month is too artistic. Questions like this abounded. Throughout the chat, even Gordon, who was quick-thinking, almost couldn't resist a few times, but at least he didn't let anything slip.
Pu Chai Shi was staring at the stern of the ship, guarding against the surprise attack of the two secret troops, and did not pay attention to Yun Ming. If he had listened to the whole chat, he would have probably abdicated and made Yunming the torture officer of BTS branch nine. Yun Ming's questioning skills were as good as those of an old policeman at the police station. If he had been a thief on the other side, he would have given up long ago.
But Yun Ming is facing Gordon after all, and his ability to tell lies is really extraordinary. For someone with a slightly more straight-minded mind, Yun Ming could fool the other party into revealing his true identity with three twists and turns, but Gordon... was really good. He rounded out his identity perfectly, and there was not a single flaw in the closed logical chain. , even if Yun Ming deliberately asked repeatedly, he was not fooled.
"Hmm... It seems that my previous judgment on this guy was a little rough. I didn't expect that his strength is not that good, but he is quite good at spying on intelligence." Gordon silently re-evaluated Yun Ming: "The level of rhetoric is not bad. , but it’s a pity that it doesn’t work for me, and the lies I made up are logically solid.”
"But...could it be that I had exposed something before, and why did it cause him to test me? My answers and actions were very cautious, leaving no doubts...Maybe, being suspicious is just his character, and repeated verification is just His habits?"
Gordon was still guessing, but Yun Ming on the opposite side had already ended the chat, patted himself and stood up: "John, our fishing boat has been leaving for more than an hour, and we will leave in about twenty minutes." Ashore."
Yun Ming was right. Looking from the bow of the ship, one could already see the long coastline and thin lights, with Kalimantan Island and Bandar Seri Begawan City ahead.
"Yes, we'll be there soon." Gordon didn't expect the deeper meaning of Yun Ming's words, so he replied calmly.
"It's almost time." Yun Ming stepped towards the bow of the ship and stood beside Pu Chao Shi in the face of five surprised eyes. Then he slashed his palm with a knife on the latter's neck, catching Pu off guard. The waiter said, "Okay, now we can't fight. Miss Xu and Miss Jiang, how about you relax a little and go into the cabin to listen to my analysis of this dear friend?"
Yun Ming tapped Gordon with his finger. This action combined with his tone at this moment is like when you go to the market to buy meat and point your fingers to tell the butcher whether you want tenderloin or pork belly.
"Yun Ming, what are you doing?" Zhong Yi was anxious. Yun Ming's attack just now was too fast and unexpected, and he had no time to stop it.
"Brother, be steady."
"Are you sure?" Zhong Yi said, look at me in disbelief.
"Hate, if my attack just now had evil intentions, Pu Che Shi's superpower should have automatically protected the master."
"That's true. Let's go into the cabin and let me see what medicines you sell in your gourd."
On the other side of the boat, Xu Xi woke up first and said, "Huh, naughty boy, I really never thought about using this move to invalidate my martial arts... Forget it, we are almost reaching the shore anyway, and now Jiang Yao and I have the upper hand in the fight. It doesn't hurt to listen." After making up their mind, Xu Xi and Jiang Yao also walked into the cabin one after another.
As a result, the god's favored person sitting in the middle of the cabin was flanked by two ability users on the left and right. However, even though Gordon was already aware of his exposure, he still acted until the last moment:
"Where are these righteous men coming from..."
Zhong Yi, Xu Xi, and Jiang Yao all looked at Yun Ming.
Yun Ming sat back in his seat and said, "John Fowler, right? Come on, stop pretending. I'm really not trying to deceive you. You should tell me your real name before making any plans." "
As soon as these words came out, the effect was as immediate as a spell. Gordon's aura immediately changed: "Gordon Gardner, or...the one favored by God."
"Beloved by God?" Yun Ming looked around, and Zhong Yi and Xu Xi both shook their heads in response. "It seems you are not well-known. Please introduce yourself briefly."
"Mr. Yun, please don't speak to me in an interrogative tone. I admit that I was surprised that you could see through my disguise, but it doesn't mean that I am already your prisoner." Gordon's eyes flickered on everyone's faces. After scanning: "Three ghosts and one human, a good combination, but unfortunately it's not enough."
Gordon only pretended for a second, because as soon as he finished speaking, his neck was strangled by Zhong Yi, and at the same time there was a military thorn in his chest. "Say or not?"
"I said it, I said it!"
"You are too cheap." Yun Ming complained at the right time.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions towards you." Gordon ignored it and continued on to himself: "I'm sorry to get to know you in this way, but this is a necessary part of the test, please understand."
"Testing? Please be specific."
"To put it simply, I intend to recruit a few of you. This rescue operation is a challenge I designed for you to test your abilities."
Xu Xi said suspiciously: "Since you designed it... then Jin Valariello is yours?"
"Yes, Ah Jin has always been my subordinate, even before he became a guard officer and an informant of the secret army."
"Then I guess this is the transaction you provided." Yun Ming stared at Gordon's eyes: "In other words, you can give us several legal identities and solve the trouble that Long County may catch up with once and for all. Naturally, you will The status of officialdom in Southeast Asia is definitely not low. I am curious which dignitary you are who is so courageous?"
Gordon did not answer, and his eyes indicated that the palm on his neck and the three-pointed military spur on his chest should be moved away first.
"Let go, you can't run away."
"Hey, I'm still very sincere." Gordon rubbed his neck with red handprints: "You are mistaken. I am sure he is not a senior federal official, but Governor Palmer Bartholomew of Ten Thousand Islands County is. My partner. I let him use the resources and power at his disposal to easily close your case."
"Of course, we are just suppressing the secular rumors and investigations at the moment. The three members of BTS are already on the wanted list of IOS because of the Bangkok incident. It will take some time and effort to make peace with them."
"But I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to join my team and be loyal to me, I will satisfy all your requirements as much as possible."
Yun Ming scratched his head: "Understood, let me sum it up. You, God's Favored One, Gordon Gardner, are a big player in Southeast Asia. You want to make big things happen, but you don't have enough manpower. It just so happens that we Five homeless dogs came to Southeast Asia, and they have something to do with Jin Valariello, so you planned this, inspected the few of us, and if you can use them, you can use them if you can't, right?"
"Yes, and you have passed my test and are qualified to be my subordinates."
"Hmm... It sounds like you are quite sincere, but we definitely can't just listen to your family's words..." Yun Ming greeted Xu Xi: "Miss Xu, please give me some advice."
"You don't need to remind me. I was already activating my superpower when you were talking, and the results are already there." Xu Xi muttered, "The results of Tiance are... the truth, but with reservations."
Jiang Yao's character is to speak quickly and quickly: "It seems like this guy can be trusted."
"You are too naive. The most difficult thing is to meet an opponent like this who half-talks his words." Jiang Yao immediately suffered the contempt from Yun Ming: "And I am very sure that his truth cannot be fully believed."
When Yun Ming said this, his hand was already on the pistol on his waist, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Gordon's head: "Gordon, I hope you can tell us the full story."
"Damn, what are you questioning?" Gordon Gardner let out a heart-wrenching growl: "What I said is all the truth."
"Then please explain that after we successfully "rescued" you, this test of our "wisdom" and "martial arts" has actually ended. You could have put all this together as early as when we left the Brachiosaurus You've told everything, haven't you? Why do you have to delay it until now, until I expose you?"
"Also, how can a commander-in-chief like you do HR work personally? You said you would arrange an inspection for me, but it is outrageous to put yourself at risk."
"But the result of Tiance is that you told the truth... There are two possibilities. First, Xu Xi is lying to us; second, the content of your words is true or not, and you have indeed investigated our Plan, but this inspection plan can only be regarded as an extra step. The things you concealed and unsaid are the reasons why you must personally perform this drama for us."
"Gordon, ask yourself, which of these two possibilities is closer to the truth."
