Chapter 154: Half-truths

Pete thought for a moment and said, "So... If we let go of some restrictions and let them be here, and let them know in some way that the regulations here are lax and that they can be given private space, I think that person will definitely want to connect and get the message out in some special way that they are still there, that they are safe. ”

Wells Lee seemed to agree with Pete's approach, he looked at Pete and said, "I can't see that you're quite good at this kind of thing." Weren't you a Marine before? ”

"Yes. Marines. This is what he told me when I discussed it with Mr. Lille before. Pete said naturally.

Pete's reason made Wells Lee no longer doubt it. Because it's normal, that's what Lille is good at, and now that Pete is the de facto manager here, wouldn't it be safe to explain these things to him and the Security Bureau? Letting him, or rather we find that troublesome guy as quickly as possible, is in Hermet's best interest at the moment.

"That's a good idea." Wells Lee said: "But it's not easy. The Security Service, for its part, may not agree. ”

Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's up to the people above to communicate and coordinate." Don't forget, we weren't really sent here to take care of security. ”

"Of course I do." Wells nodded and said, "I'll think about what to do." But I need people. ”

"Of course." Pete said: "You can pick the hands yourself." But it's better to come in with us, just getting started, and the only ones who can be trusted are those of us. After seeing Wells nod in acceptance, Pete added, "John told me that this was an opportunity. The opportunity to get ahead in Hermet, you and I have to take it. ”

Wells was a little surprised to hear Pete say this: "I didn't expect you to be very keen on this." ”

"Passionate about what? Is it a promotion to make a fortune? Pete smiled after asking a rhetorical question: "You must not have been in a hail of bullets, as long as you have that experience, there will be no such problems." ”

"Uh... Yes. Wells didn't seem to understand Pete's train of thought for a while, and he replied with some reluctance: "If it was a battle scene like yours, I really haven't experienced it." ”

"That's dangerous." "This is especially true of Hermet's missions. When I came back last time, before I entered the department, the night I experienced ... It made me understand that if I continue like this, all the money I earn is better off sending it home or donating it to a reliable charity. This time I'm lucky, as long as there is a next time, it seems to me that I will probably not be able to come back. As I lay in my hospital bed, feeling the pain from my wound, I felt that I had enough and could not go on like this. But then I realized the question, if I don't do this, then what can I do? Saying that, Pete looked at Wells and said, "Have you ever had such doubts?" ”

"Nope. I don't have such worries as you mentioned. Wells thought for a moment and said, "When I was a teenager, maybe sixteen or seventeen or a little older. But when you get to university, especially after graduation, it's gone. "The end of the world

"Then it means that you are a person with a clear goal. And I just didn't, so I found a goal for myself. Pete said: "I want to live a safe and comfortable life, I don't want to travel in the chaotic war zone anymore, and at the same time I have to do something that I am familiar with, because I have found that I have become a little sluggish since I joined the army a few years ago, and now I am asked to learn some other trade... Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it." So I set a goal for me, and the goal was to get along well in Hermet, not to have to charge, to be able to sit in an office, and not have to give orders, but I didn't really feel anything about that. But let me tell someone what to do, or what to do in such an environment, that's okay and perfectly fine. ”

"It makes me feel like you're already thinking about retiring." Wells smiled.

Pete nodded and said, "It's a bit like." At least mentally, it's somewhat similar. But it's not suitable for the matter in front of me, because it's an opportunity, and if I don't grasp it, I may have to go to those dangerous positions in the future. As he spoke, he looked at Wells and said, "Do you just want to be a little clerk?" Do you think it's good to be away from home 25 days a month, and you don't even know where you are? ”

Wells pouted, "No." I don't think anyone who is normal will like this kind of life. ”

"That's fine." Pete looked at Wells and said, "How long have you been with Helmet?" ”

Wells was a little wary when he heard Pete ask about this, but he still said, "It's been almost half a year." ”

"It's not very long, so you may not feel much, and it probably has something to do with the department you're working in. If you move to the second floor, you'll probably have a better understanding of what I mean by that. ”

Wells hadn't been to the second floor, let alone what Pete had experienced, so he didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that he didn't speak, Pete continued: "No matter what, there is always a right thing to get promoted." So we have to take advantage of this opportunity and put on a good show. After speaking, he glanced at Wells and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about what to do later, this is not something that the two of us can decide." Let's talk about something else. ”

Pete said and sighed, "By the way, do you speak Chinese?" ”

Wells nodded after hesitating for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but it's not good, and the accent is relatively heavy." Some words are always mischievous. ”

"That's okay. It's already very good to be able to say it. In fact, this Chinese is still very useful. For example, reading books, many books if you read Chinese, understand completely different from English, I mean the approximate meaning is similar, but the details and the reading experience you bring is far from the same. Pete said.

"This... I can only read some simple ones. Wells said: "It's about the same as saying, it should be said that it is still a little worse, it may be better, if it is read worse, it is even worse when it is written." ”

"That's going to have to be practiced." Pete smiled as if chatting and said, "Is Chinese or Mandarin you speak?" I know that a lot of the older generation here speak Cantonese more, and later Mandarin, what about you? Which one do you prefer? ”
