Zhang Heng wasn't surprised to see Leah and the drummer kissing on stage.
According to the information Waldo collected, Leah was bisexual, and she had feelings for both the same and opposite sex. She had a boyfriend in high school, and he was the captain of the school's football team. He was also her first love. Two months later, however, she found out that the boy was in a relationship with a girl from the cheerleading team. Leah suffered a huge blow, and it was then that she gradually discovered that she had feelings for girls as well.
After that, she had three girlfriends, and now the band's blonde drummer was her third girlfriend. The two met six months ago, but from her correspondence with Gaspard, it could be seen that she also had a good impression of Gaspard.
Under normal circumstances, when comparing a real person to a photo, it would be discounted, and in more serious cases, it was possible to break a bone.
Leah, on the other hand, was an exception. She was even more beautiful in real life than in photos, with her iconic short blue hair and eyes as clear as Lake Tignere. When she stood on stage, she was like an ice cube falling into a whiskey glass, making a heart-stirring sound.
However, Zhang Heng only glanced at her twice before looking away. His focus tonight wasn't on Leah.
Through observation, Zhang Heng could determine that two of the green frogs were sent by Black Nest to monitor Leah. There were three other suspicious guys that he couldn't identify. In addition, the bar's cameras were obviously under Black Nest's control.
And this was just the situation inside the bar. Black Nest had also set up their surveillance outside.
It was obvious that they had spent a lot of money on Leah, and all that was left was to sit back and wait for their prey to take the bait.
…
In less than forty minutes, Zhang Heng had already rejected three people who came to talk to him. His presence was a little conspicuous among the green frogs, and if this continued, he would be suspected by Black Nest. So, Zhang Heng was about to pay the bill and leave.
But the next moment, he stopped in his tracks. He noticed a man with earrings on his right.
He was sitting in a three-person booth, and his companion in front of him was chattering non-stop. However, he seemed a little distracted, his eyes glancing at Leah from time to time, but his movements were discreet.
Zhang Heng only noticed it after staring at him for a while.
Piercings' expression became more and more irritated. Other than the fact that the temporary translator he hired for two hundred euros was too noisy, he couldn't think of a way to take Leah away from Black Nest.
At that moment, a guy who didn't even say hello sat down on the last empty seat in the booth.
Before Piercings could speak, his companion spoke first. "What are you doing? Can't you see that we are on a date?"
"I need a few minutes. I want to talk to him," Zhang Heng said, pointing at Piercings.
"Tell him that he'd better disappear from my sight before my fist appears on his face." Piercings Man was in a bad mood, so he didn't hesitate to speak to his companion in English.
"Then your fists should be better than your driving skills," Zhang Heng said in English.
Piercings' pupils shrank when he heard that. Zhang Heng noticed that his right hand subconsciously wanted to reach for his waist, but in the end, he restrained himself.
"Do you really want to fight?" Piercings' companion had already started rolling up his sleeves. Unfortunately, if his beer belly was a little smaller, his action would have been more intimidating.
However, the next moment, he heard Piercings say, "Enough, you can leave now."
"Did you hear that, kid?!" Beer Belly continued to threaten Zhang Heng.
"I was talking about you." Piercings took out 100 euros from his wallet. "You did a good job. This is the rest of the reward. Let's call it a day."
"Really?" Beer Belly was a little surprised. He looked at Piercings, and then at Zhang Heng. Then, he seemed to understand something. He flashed a meaningful smile and quickly put away the money. "Then I'll leave first. Have fun. You have my number. You can call me if you need an interpreter."
After his companion left, Piercings asked, "How did you recognize me?"
He spoke in Mandarin, and he didn't have to worry about being overheard by others under the cover of the rock show.
Zhang Heng pointed to a mole on his neck. "When you were racing with the people from Black Nest, I was behind you, and I managed to capture a quarter of your face. I didn't expect to find you through this photo."
Piercings cursed under his breath. After getting the answer, he glared at Zhang Heng with even more hostility. "Whose side are you on?"
"If I'm on Black Nest's side, do you think you can walk out of this bar tonight?" Zhang Heng said. "By the way, you did a great dive."
"F * ck, I didn't expect those guys to be so ruthless. I just wanted to kidnap someone to understand the situation, but the backup arrived in ten minutes, and they killed my friend."
"Your friend?"
"A police officer in charge of investigating online fraud, but he's been fired. He found something fishy about Black Nest and CTOS from a hacker. A guy who called himself Edward contacted him and told him that if he wanted to know the truth, he had to save Leah from Black Nest first."
"It seems that we have the same goal," Zhang Heng said. "What's your plan?"
Piercings' face became alert again. "Why don't you tell me your plan first?"
"Based on the current situation, it's difficult for either of us to take Leah away from Black Nest. So, we can only work together."
The situation had changed. Piercings had triggered the alarm, and Black Nest had increased their surveillance and armed forces on Leah. It wasn't that Zhang Heng was out of ideas, but since he had found a new helper, it would be a waste not to use it.
Piercings thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I'm used to acting alone. I don't like people dragging me down."
"We can divide the work. Each of us will be responsible for a part, and we won't disturb each other. That should be fine, right?" Zhang Heng said.
Piercings was very cautious. "Then who decides how to distribute the tasks?" he asked.
"Let's divide the work first, and you pick first."
Piercings was a little embarrassed. "Actually … we can throw dice to ensure fairness."
"No, you pick first," Zhang Heng said, shaking his head. Zhang Heng shook his head. "Also, we can use this opportunity to exchange information. You ask a question, and I ask a question."
Perhaps Zhang Heng's generosity had won Piercings' favor. "Okay, you ask first," he said without hesitation.
