Chapter 14 – All are details

Los Angeles, North Hollywood.

In an inconspicuous residential area, there is a commercial property that belongs to Gao Guang's workplace and residence.

Now Gao Guang lives in a small room in the company headquarters, which is about ten square meters. Inside, there is only a mattress, a chair, and no desk. There is no private bathroom, and he has to go to the company's public restroom to use the toilet. He can take a shower, but he has to go to the public shower room. Fortunately, except for Gao Guang, no one else takes a shower in the company, so the living conditions are still acceptable.

Gao Guang, who had not fully adjusted to the time difference, woke up early. It was boring to stay in the room at four o'clock in the morning, so he began to wander around the company.

On the wall of the lobby, which is also the reception room, there is a golden crown logo, and below the crown logo is a line of words.

King's Defense Company.

King's Defense is the name of the company, and below the name is a small line of words.

"Treat customers like kings."

The logo is eye-catching, and the slogan is loud, but the office conditions and facilities of this company are just average. There are only seven or eight rooms, totaling about 300 square meters. The office furniture is mainly simple and practical. Generally speaking, the King's Defense Company does not look like it has a lot of money.

Thinking again about how Captain and his crew can earn only tens or twenty thousand dollars by rescuing a hostage, their earning ability is not strong compared to the novels.

However, Gao Guang also knows that earning hundreds of millions of dollars in novels is somewhat exaggerated, so one hundred thousand dollars is still a huge amount for him, and the income level of Captain and his crew is still the goal he needs to strive for.

After passing through the lobby, turning on the lights in the corridor, passing through two offices and a monitoring room, Gao Guang came to the gym.

Although it is called a gym, it only has a treadmill, several pairs of dumbbells, a barbell, and a punching bag. Apart from that, there is nothing else. But if there are fewer equipment, the gym looks quite spacious.

Gao Guang came to the gym to tidy up the things in the middle of the room, and then started stretching and kicking as a warm-up before punching.

Although he is not a professional martial artist, he has been practicing since he was a child. Gao Guang's characteristic movement is beautiful, and the word to describe his punches is handsome!

Gao Guang has been practicing boxing for half an hour every morning for more than ten years. Unfortunately, he does not have martial arts knives and sticks, so he can only practice boxing.

After finishing the exercise, taking a shower, and feeling refreshed, he returned to his small room and started checking his phone. A beautiful day began like this.There were two phones by the pillow, one was Gao Guang's Redmi Note 4 that he had been using for two years. Sanchez didn't recognize this brand, which was normal. The other phone was the one Frank gave to Gao Guang.

It was a Samsung S8. Although it was a model from 2017, the phone still looked very new. Frank gave it to Gao Guang casually.

Gao Guang thought that the captain did it to make him feel at ease. After all, there was something incriminating on the phone. But now the video had been deleted, and the captain said the phone belonged to him. So, could he use this phone from now on?

It was impossible not to be tempted, but just as Gao Guang was about to use the phone, he felt strange in his heart.

Maybe for the captain and his crew, killing a kidnapper or drug dealer was just a job, but for Gao Guang, it was not only a big deal, but also a thorn in his heart.

If he used this phone, what if it was lost or stolen, or worse, if the videos inside were recovered? It would be over.

So, no matter how good the phone was, Gao Guang felt that he couldn't use it.

In the end, he picked up his own broken-screen phone. Gao Guang played with it for less than an hour when he heard someone coming in from outside.

Putting away his phone, Gao Guang went outside and saw Frank.

It was not even seven o'clock yet, and Frank came early enough. Besides, Frank was the boss after all, so Gao Guang respectfully said, "Good morning, Mr. Moray."

"Good morning. You got up early. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I slept well. I'm just used to waking up early."

Frank nodded and smiled, "Come to my office for a moment."

Gao Guang followed Frank into the general manager's office. Frank put a briefcase on the table and sat behind the desk. He gestured for Gao Guang to sit down and said directly, "You can't live in the company all the time, but you can wait until you find a suitable house before moving out. You can start working today. Let John familiarize you with the job content and procedures. That's it. Do you have anything to say?"

Gao Guang hesitated for a moment, looking hesitant.

Frank said in a relaxed tone, "Is there anything you can't say? Gao, we just met not long ago, and we met in a special place, so we are not very familiar with each other yet. But it doesn't matter. If there is anything you can't say before, or if there is anything difficult, you can tell me now. The worst result is that you can't work here if you hide something. But if you conceal something, then... it won't be good."

Gao Guang sighed and then took out the Samsung phone from his pocket. He whispered, "Mr. Moray, did you really give me this phone?"Frank hesitated for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Of course, I said the phone is yours."

Gao Guang asked cautiously, "I just want to confirm, is it okay to destroy the phone in any way?"

"Well, of course. Just curious, how do you want to handle it?"

"I want to smash the phone and then burn it..."

After a moment of hesitation, Frank said, "Uh, I bought this phone for over 800 dollars and only used it for less than a month. Why don't you just delete that video?"

"You can recover deleted files. I don't know how to make sure it's completely irrecoverable, so I think physically destroying it is better..."

Gao Guang felt a bit embarrassed by what he said. He thought it made him seem untrustworthy, but Frank nodded and said, "Makes sense. Then smash it. I said the phone is yours, so it's up to you to handle it."

Gao Guang smiled awkwardly and asked, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I won't bother you."

"I have nothing else to do. How do you plan to destroy the phone?"

"There are dumbbells in the gym. I think..."

"Let's go. I've never smashed a phone before. I'll go with you."

Gao Guang was a bit confused, but he went to the gym and got a dumbbell. He wrapped the phone in the cheapest T-shirt and smashed it into pieces on the lawn behind the company.

He wrapped it in clothes to prevent glass shards from scattering everywhere, and then threw the clothes with the broken pieces into the trash can. This was a complete relief for Gao Guang.

Frank just watched for a moment and then went back to his office. Gao Guang didn't have an office and couldn't wander around, so he had to go back to his own little room.

Gao Guang still didn't know what he was supposed to do. He could only wait for John to show him the ropes. The work hours were at nine o'clock, so he had to wait a while.

But before 7:30, John arrived, and Rubber and Joey almost followed him to the company.

After the four of them gathered in Frank's office, Rubber said tiredly, "I found a Type 97 rifle, which is basically the same as the Chinese Type 95 rifle. There are AK rifles in the shooting range. These are enough to show his background. I reserved the shooting range at nine o'clock. We can leave now."

Frank waved his hand and whispered, "That kid destroyed the phone I gave him thoroughly. I could tell that he was reluctant to do it from the bottom of his heart, but he still did it."

John was surprised and said, "That's not his style. He's... thrifty."

Joey also exclaimed, "Why did he destroy the phone? Oh, I see. There was a video you recorded in it."Frank whispered, "So he is very cautious, very careful. To be honest, few young people can be as careful as he is, at least not me at his age."

John frowned and said, "It's better to be cautious and not bring trouble to us."

Frank nodded and then said seriously, "I asked him if there was anything he needed to tell me, but he didn't say anything. So we need to make sure if he has military experience. If he does, then he is hiding something from us, he doesn't trust us. I like smart people, but I don't like someone who is too scheming and hostile towards us."

"If he really hasn't shot a gun before?" John looked conflicted and shrugged, "What if he is a shooting genius?"

"If he really is a genius, then what else is there to say? Ambitious but not greedy, brave but not reckless, smart but cautious, and also a shooting genius. Why wouldn't we want someone like that? Do you really think I only want him to be a translator?" After speaking with disdain towards John, Frank waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take him to shoot rifles. We all go and observe carefully to see if he is hiding something or if he is really a genius."
