Chapter 72 – It's human nature

As it turned out, as long as it didn't involve business or trade, John's suggestions were quite good. At least his judgment of people was accurate. The recommended Grant had no problems except for his foul mouth.

For the first time, Gao Guang felt that Grant had an extremely high cost-performance ratio. He could actually spot drones with the naked eye, which was incredible.

He stared hard with widened eyes, but still couldn't see the drone. It wasn't until he followed Grant's pointing direction and looked carefully that he finally saw a tiny black dot in the sky.

Once he saw and locked onto the drone, it became much easier to observe. Gao Guang stared at the drone, knowing that Sam had run to his side with a telescope.

"Where is the drone?"

Gao Guang immediately pointed to the sky and said, "There!"

Sam raised the telescope in the direction of Gao Guang's pointing finger and quickly found the target. He immediately held the headphone cable in one hand and said, "Drone, unable to identify the model. I can't see what equipment the drone is carrying. Interference, interfere immediately."

Someone immediately ran out with something that looked like a gun but had antenna-like things at the front, and immediately aimed it at the drone in the sky.

This was an electronic jammer that interfered with the control signal of the drone by emitting electronic signals. If the interference was effective, it could cause the drone to lose control and crash. If the interference was particularly good, it could even control the drone to fly towards oneself.

But the interference effect this time was clearly not very good, because after the interference was turned on, the drone disappeared quickly in the air.

The atmosphere was now extremely tense. Sam continued to hold the telescope and said calmly but indignantly, "Interference is effective, but the drone is set to automatically return when it loses contact. There is no doubt that this is aerial reconnaissance."

Sam finally put down the telescope and said urgently, "Immediately ask the police and FBI if there is an approved legal application for drone flight. If so, find out who applied for it. If not, find a way for the police to investigate the drone's flight route and launch location..."

After speaking, Sam nodded at Gao Guang and said in a low voice, "Well done, you can actually spot drones with the naked eye. Keep paying attention."

He patted Gao Guang's shoulder heavily twice and hurried away, while the person carrying the electronic jammer immediately retreated back into the mansion.

The tense atmosphere was at its peak, but Sam didn't explain anything to Gao Guang specifically, which made him uncomfortable. However, as an armed security guard, all he had to do was stand his post, and not think too much about anything else.

Grant spotted the drone, but he didn't report it to Sam. Instead, he asked Gao Guang to report it, and after Sam arrived, Grant didn't say a word.

Gao Guang always felt like he had stolen Grant's credit. He looked at Grant, nodded, and said in a low voice, "You did a good job. Hmm, how did you find it?"

Grant pouted and drew two circles on his head with his hand, saying, "Intuition. It wouldn't just be aerial reconnaissance, nor would it just be close-range reconnaissance. If there really was reconnaissance, then all means would be used. I thought there should be aerial reconnaissance, so I've been paying attention to the sky, and then I found it."Gao Guang nodded, then took two steps towards Grant and asked, "Does that mean it's dangerous and we need to fight?"

Grant grinned and replied, "No, it's safe now. We won't have to fight."

Gao Guang was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Grant approached Gao Guang without hesitation and whispered, "Come over here, I'll explain it to you."

Mike followed curiously, but Grant pointed at him and said, "You stay here and keep an eye out. Do you want us all to leave our posts?"

Mike could only stay put, while Grant led Gao Guang a short distance away and whispered, "Boss, I let you take all the credit just now, right?"

"Yes, it's your contribution. Why..."

Grant waved his hand and said, "You paid me, not someone else. It's useless for me to take credit, but it's useful for you to take credit. That's the point."

Gao Guang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. If we perform well, Renato will definitely extend our contract and we can earn more money."

Grant smiled cunningly and said, "Good, you understand my role clearly. Boss, forgive me for being blunt, but you're a rookie, and that black guy is even more clueless. Only I have experience among the three of us. Although you have connections to get this job, only I can help you keep it. Do you agree?"

Gao Guang looked at Grant warily and asked, "What do you mean?"

Grant smiled slightly and said, "I know Renato pays 1,500 a day in the market. Don't ask me how I know, I have my sources. You didn't make a profit from me, but you made 500 from that black guy, right?"

Gao Guang was stunned and asked, "What...what are you trying to say?"

"It's simple. You give me the 500 you made from the black guy, and I'll stay and help you work better. I promise to make sure you have more opportunities to take credit like you did today. If you don't want to give it to me, that's fine too."

Grant smiled confidently and said politely, "You asked me why it's safe and we don't have to fight. If you can tell me the reason, I won't ask for more money."

Gao Guang couldn't accept this kind of threat. He could let Grant make a profit, but he wouldn't accept being threatened. If Grant used his experience as a reason to ask for a raise, and negotiated with him, Gao Guang could accept it. But Grant was asking for the money Gao Guang made from Mike, which was typical of exploiting his teammates.

Gao Guang knew Grant was greedy, but he didn't expect him to be so manipulative. If Grant could ask for a raise today, would he fight to the death if they faced a life-threatening situation tomorrow?

Although Grant was indeed very capable, Gao Guang had a good impression of him before hearing his words. But after hearing what Grant said, he immediately made a decision to find a replacement for him. He would continue to search for a replacement before firing Grant.

However, Gao Guang wouldn't act rashly before finding a replacement.So Gao Guang thought for a moment and then laughed, saying, "I know why you said it's safe."

Grant was a little surprised, but then he smiled and said, "Oh really, tell me."

"Because the two runners who showed up today were too sudden, their surveillance was too obvious, and then the unmanned aerial vehicle that appeared immediately afterwards was also too obvious. And now, unmanned aerial vehicles carry surveillance equipment. Is it necessary to conduct surveillance at a distance that can be seen with the naked eye?"

Grant frowned, which made Gao Guang believe that his judgment was correct.

Gao Guang continued, "Since Grayer wants to kill Renato, even if he finds a killer, the killer should conduct surveillance without alarming Renato as much as possible. But everything today made me feel like it was intentionally made for us to discover. So why intentionally let us find out?"

Grant's face had already sunk, but Gao Guang continued, "I can think of two reasons. One is to test Renato's strength, and the other is that Grayer doesn't want to continue and needs to find a way out for himself. So he intentionally let Renato discover his actions, but it didn't cause any substantial consequences."

"You...um." Grant scratched his head and said, "You think differently from me."

Gao Guang said seriously, "We can see the result. If security is strengthened here, it means that Renato and Grayer will have a battle. But if Renato doesn't strengthen security, it means that Grayer's seemingly tough actions are actually for finding a way out for himself."

"Why do you say that?"

Gao Guang shrugged and said, "Because the FBI has already gotten involved in this matter. The FBI won't allow any large-scale gunfights in Los Angeles, especially in Beverly Hills. Today's actions will definitely be investigated by the FBI, and they will definitely investigate Grayer. Then what? Grayer will negotiate with Renato under the mediation of the FBI. Negotiations take time, maybe a week, maybe a month, but our mission will be over after successful negotiations."

Grant didn't say anything. He scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed, but Gao Guang said in a cold voice, "What, did I analyze it correctly?"

"You must have heard the news too. Well, it seems you still have a source of information."

Grant was greedy and bad, and he was a bit stupid. With this sentence, he revealed very critical information.

Gao Guang frowned and said, "Did you hear any news? Tell me, I'll pay you five hundred bucks."

"Someone said that Renato and Grayer won't fight. They must shake hands and make peace. It's just a matter of how much Renato will pay for it. But the reason is that the FBI intervened. Grayer wants to make money, and so does Renato. But they can't make money if they go to war."

Grant said without hesitation what he knew, and then he shrugged and said, "Five hundred bucks, as you said. And what you said is also true. Today's surveillance was too obvious, which is unreasonable. As an excellent scout, when I see such unreasonable surveillance, I know it's for Renato and the FBI to see. Combined with what I heard, yes, I think they're going to shake hands and make peace."After speaking, Grate expressed his regret, "Such an easy and enjoyable job cannot last for too long, it's such a pity..."
