Chapter 1711 Hiring
Xingyi smiled and said softly:
"We are not bodyguards, but Kobe's friends. I heard that he is in trouble, so we came here to help. If you are in trouble, you will help your friend, right? What's your name?"

After the black boy saw Xingyi, his face blushed immediately, but he couldn't see it because of his racial talent:

"You can call me Ade."

The woman Xingyi is really top-notch in terms of communication, and soon filled the young man with ecstasy soup.

In addition, this young man is not a fool. Fang Linyan and the others have already fully expressed their kindness in saving people and treating injuries, so they hesitated to speak out about their situation.

It turned out that it wasn't long before Ade's ability awakened, less than half a year, and he was still a bit unfamiliar with his ability.

Moreover, this kid was usually bullied by many people because of his withdrawn personality in school. Therefore, his personality was extreme and timid. He was afraid of being called a monster, so he didn't dare to reveal his strength at all.

It’s just that when facing bullying by others, relying on his increased physical fitness to dare to fight back some bullying behaviors, this made him even more isolated, so no one around him knew his changes.

Until this time, Adelaide's uncle was very angry because the Magic team he supported was "stealed by the damn Lakers and the referees together." Ability to find Kobe's trouble.

The point is, Ade's initial thought was very simple, that is, to give him a little lesson, such as hitting his head with a rotten egg and splashing him with expired milk.

As a result, when Ade was looking for trouble for Kobe, he found that his abilities were extraordinarily useful.

Seeing that Kobe was embarrassed by his inexplicable teasing, Ade also began to become bolder.

There is a saying called self-defense with a sharp blade, which is the truest portrayal of his mood - so he wanted to clean up + scare Kobe, who made him make his respected uncle unhappy for many days? .

Adelaide's real purpose is to let Kobe take the initiative to apply to the Magic, and then help the Magic win the championship next year.
Hearing the boy's confession, Fang Linyan thought to himself that he really dared to think like a kid.

A big deal of this level is worth tens of millions of dollars on the surface. If it involves the market value of the two teams, it will be hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. A major event that shakes the foundation.

Even if you are a mutant with superhuman powers and you are involved in such a thing, you probably don't know how you died.

Fortunately, according to Fang Linyan's EQ, these words were finally not uttered, and Xingyi comforted him:
"Your wish is very good. You are only thinking about uncle, but you are still very immature."

Ade sighed, and said sadly:
"Well, I know, the last time I went to tease Kobe, I got shot in the leg, and when the gunshots rang out, my mind went blank, knowing that I might screw things up, that guy There are many very powerful people, each of whom has the ability to kill me."

Hearing Ade's words, Fang Linyan's heart moved, the kid knew what he was doing, and he was most afraid that he would continue to engage in old science, and he would really be courting death.

It can be said that there is a hornet's nest around Corvo now, and there is a 99% probability that Ade will be killed on the spot if he goes there, and there is a 1% probability that the sneak attack will be successful and then he will be killed on the spot.
Xingyi nodded approvingly and said:
"It's great of you to think so. You've played tricks on him so many times, and you've given Uncle a sigh of relief."

"So I didn't plan to mess with him again, but I didn't expect to hear that Kobe had suffered a terrorist attack on the radio today, and I also suspected that it was the man with a thousand faces. I really feel very wronged. This matter has nothing to do with me It doesn't matter at all."

Ade said aggrievedly.

Fang Linyan and Xingyi glanced at each other:
"Well, I believe you in this matter! Because when Kobe was attacked, the two of us were there at the scene, and it really has nothing to do with you."

Ade was also relieved to hear that.

Xingyi then asked:

"But there is one more thing you have to tell me, why are you in that hospital?"

Ade shrugged and said:
"Because my uncle's girlfriend, Aunt Jenny, works here. My uncle is a long-distance truck driver and has always been responsible for driving from New York to Los Angeles. I often go to the car to help when I am on vacation-he is here in New York. Got one girlfriend, and two more in Los Angeles."

"Aunt Jenny knew that my leg was injured, so she asked me to come to the working room in the hospital to change the medicine, which can save a lot of money, but she has to go through security checks when she gets off work, so she can't take the medicine outside. .”

Hearing Ade's words, both Fang Linyan and Xingyi couldn't laugh or cry, but this is the long-term status quo of middle and lower-class blacks. Their private lives are chaotic. Most of the children are raised by obese black aunts, and their fathers disappear completely after birth.
As for Aunt Jenny's behavior of using the hospital's resources for personal gain, that is a common practice all over the world, so there is no need to make a fuss.

Fang Linyan said:

"Then why do you use your own ability to frequently go out of Kobe's ward?"

Adele said frankly:

"Because I'm curious. Today's incident obviously has nothing to do with me, but all the news has been planted on me. I definitely want to find out."

Fang Linyan thought about it, and felt that what Ade said was very reasonable. After thinking about it, he said:

"I hear what you mean, and you don't plan to embarrass Kobe in the future?"

Ade sighed and said:
"I didn't intend to do anything to him at first, but now this matter is too big, why should I mess with him?"

Fang Linyan thought about it after listening, and asked Xingyi to communicate with Ade first, then went to the side and called Kobe:

"Hey! My friend, now we have basically figured out today's matter through various channels, and found that this matter is very complicated. Do you want to know the truth?"

"Wow, you're so efficient, of course! I still feel like I'm in the dark!"

"Actually, the attack you suffered today was completely unwarranted. The target of the person who attacked you was not you at all, but the mutants around you. The group of people who attacked you were members of a group of extremist organizations. The information I have so far is that they It has an inseparable connection with a biochemical laboratory called Eagle's Nest in Europe."

"what!"

"Sounds hard to accept, doesn't it? Think about it carefully, when you are attacked today, is it safe if there are no mutants around?"

"Is that really the case?"

"As for the attack you received before, I also figured it out. It was done by a black kid. He never thought of killing you, but because you won the Magic team wanted to play tricks on you, and even wanted to Let you go to the Magic to win a championship, and he is by my side at this time, do you want to chat with him?"

"Oh shit!! Are you serious? It's even more impossible, give him the phone!!"

Fang Linyan handed the phone directly to Ade:
"Come on, boy, don't you even have the courage to face wrongdoing? Come on, don't you want to end this matter?"

After listening to Fang Linyan's words, Ade mustered up the courage to pick up the phone:
"Mr. Kobe Bryant, I'm Ade, I'm sorry for my previous behavior, but I really just want to tease you, and there is no malice."

To Fang Linyan's surprise, the two communicated for more than ten minutes before Ade handed over the phone again. It seemed that they had a good chat, probably because Kobe wanted to ask for some details to avoid being fooled by others. reason.

Immediately, Kobe's voice of relief came from the phone:
"You really helped me a lot. I made peace with this kid. I gave him the autographed ball for this finals game, and gave him a jersey exchanged by Magic Howard. Everyone will talk about it." flat."

"Damn it, after chatting with him like this, I realized that my previous reaction was indeed a little too aggressive. He is indeed just a child, but his acting style is a little impulsive, and he is not a vicious gangster."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"It's best to be able to solve your problem, and this is one of the tasks we come here for, so that's it, I wish you a happy life."

"Wait! Wait, hell, who the hell hired you guys? I called Shaq that bastard and he laughed so hard, so it must not be him!"

Kobe yelled across the phone.

But Fang Linyan hung up his phone in the next second, and then said to Ade:
"Boy, let's talk about your treatment bill now?"

Ade said in astonishment:
"What treatment fee?"

Fang Linyan said:

"It doesn't matter that we saved you from those bastards. You're still a kid. We saved you out of humanitarianism. That's fine."

"However, how does your leg injury feel now? Did you get poisoned by those guys in the lake before? Do you think the toxin and injury will suddenly disappear?"

Ade suddenly started muttering, not daring to look squarely at Fang Linyan. He touched Fang Linyan for a long time, and finally took out a wrinkled small wad of money + coins from the sole of his shoe, totaling three dollars and seventeen cents, and then pitifully road:
"Are these enough?"

Fang Linyan stared at him and said:

"The doctor who treated you just now was specially invited by a rich man from Europe. The cost of his chartered flight to New York is 70 US dollars."

At this time, Ade's expression was already dull, and he said helplessly after a while;
"But I didn't ask him to help me treat my illness. I don't have that much money now! I can save ten dollars a month, can I give it to him?"

Fang Linyan said:

"How about this, I think the murloc form you just changed is quite powerful, and you can stay in the water forever? Then you can do one thing for me, and I will waive the doctor's fee for you, and I will give you another Thousands of dollars."

Unexpectedly, Ade immediately said vigilantly:
"What do you want me to do? Let me declare first, I will not do things that violate the law like drug trafficking. I don't want to make uncle sad!"

Fang Linyan sneered a little:
"Oh! Didn't you break the law by sneaking into Kobe's house? Your uncle probably didn't know that you were almost beaten to death by the guards, did he?"

Ade blushed and said:
"That's different!"

Xingyi came out to smooth things over, and then said gently:

"Don't worry, we are not criminals, otherwise we wouldn't have friendship with a big man like Kobe Bryant, right?"

After hearing this, Ade felt that it was the same thing, so he was not so excited, and Xingyi continued:
"The reason we ask you for help is because we have obtained information about a sunken ship. You should know about the Age of Discovery, right? Mazelen, Columbus."

Speaking of this, Ade suddenly realized:
"I know, I know, my last girlfriend once said that her grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was transported to the United States by the Columbus shipping company."

After Fang Linyan heard this, he looked at Xingyi and felt that he had nothing to say.The little black girl must have heard the white girl brag at school: My ancestors came to the United States on the Mayflower, so I thought it was very compelling to say so.

But I don’t know that the blacks who arrived in the United States hundreds of years ago were all on slave ships. This is not a glorious thing
Of course, the Mayflower is actually a ship transporting heinous exiles. Except for the 35 Puritans on board, the rest are criminals, and the Puritans are people who can no longer get along in the country and have been abandoned by mainstream sects. .

Therefore, the sense of superiority of the white girl is actually somewhat inexplicable.

After hearing this, Xingyi said to Ade:

"Yes, the information we have collected shows that a pirate ship of that era plundered a lot of wealth and set sail carrying a mysterious thing. Its route was intended to pass through the Bering Strait and then be shipped to Alaska. "

"As a result, the pirate ship sank due to unknown reasons. It may be due to internal strife on board, it may have been sunk, or it may be due to wind and waves. In short, it sank in the Bering Strait area, where the bottom of the sea is very complicated. So it hasn't been recovered so far."

Ade's eyes lit up after hearing this:
"So you're going to ask me to help?"

Xingyi said:
"I didn't have this idea before, until I saw you jump into the lake and become a murloc, and you can hold your breath underwater for a long time, so I want to ask you about the specific situation."

Ade immediately said excitedly after hearing this:

"It's so exciting. Isn't this an underwater treasure hunt? Of course I can do it! The murloc I become is no different from a fish, and can breathe underwater!"

Fang Linyan said:

"How long can that last? I saw that after you were picked up by us, it didn't take long for you to become a human again."
