Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 353 - 259 Human Behavior Pattern Observation_3

When the car stopped at the hospital, he and a bodyguard quickly left from the other side, keeping out of sight.

Since the car was being watched, they had no choice but to abandon it.

With limited lighting, the speed of their escape was significantly hampered, turning their sprint into a brisk walk.

According to the map, the area was under construction as part of a scenic district being developed. Aside from spots near the road illuminated by streetlights, the interior was dark and lacked surveillance cameras.

Fortunately, there was some moonlight tonight.

After adjusting to the darkness, they could continue on their way.

The roughly laid but unfinished path emitted sounds when trodden upon—not loud, but in the silence one could easily hear them if listening intently.

Realizing someone was pursuing them, the bodyguard stopped to intercept, while Wen Suolin continued running with the python box.

The bodyguard watched the direction of the approaching footsteps and remained alert to the surroundings. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The area was surrounded by a dense forest, and usually, the path was the most convenient for nighttime travel.

Listening again, the footsteps of the pursuers had vanished.

And the chirping of insects had ceased without notice.

A breeze blew through.

Branches swung, and the leaves rustled.

There was also a sound like a snake swiftly slithering through the underbrush.

Beyond that, where were the footsteps?

Where had the pursuer gone?

He concentrated to discern the subtle noises around him.

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed by.

In a fraction of a second, with no time to react, he felt as if ambushed by a giant python, his neck gripped and lifted clear off the ground, unable to make a sound.

Wen Suolin kept moving forward with the python box clutched in his arms.

The young python inside was restless, but at that moment, Wen Suolin had no time to care.

He heard nothing from the bodyguard’s direction and wondered if the pursuers hadn’t arrived or if...

Wen Suolin felt an indescribable unease.

A river lay ahead, and a path that should have been to the side was blocked due to construction.

Cursing under his breath, he turned to find another way, but stopped abruptly.

Under the moonlight, he saw a figure silently appear, blocking his retreat.

Wen Suolin’s nerves tensed up.

The other hand held a dimmable flashlight, which he turned up to maximum brightness and shone it in the figure’s direction.

He had intended to dazzle the person so he could escape while they shielded their eyes.

But to his surprise...

The figure wore sunglasses.

Wen Suolin: "..."

Is he crazy?

Wearing sunglasses at night!

However, it was precisely because of the sunglasses that he recognized the person immediately.

He paused, not only not moving closer but also retreating a few steps to maintain distance, though he felt somewhat relieved inside.

He had assumed that those investigating the case would be the law enforcement officers or the stubborn mad dogs of the Union Protection Bureau. He hadn’t expected this person.

If it were him, there would be much more room for negotiation.

He dimmed the flashlight and did a quick sweep of the surroundings, finding no one else.

Insects refracted in the light darted towards the brightness. Listening closely, the buzzing of many insects could be heard in the background.

Among the two present, only one was the target of the mosquitoes.

Agitated by the annoying insects and bites he could hardly bother to swat, Wen Suolin kept a steady facade.

"Feng Yi. I know you, but I didn’t expect you to have such skills!"

Wen Suolin, watching Feng Yi and seeing his continued silence, thought for a moment and continued:

"I can give you a sum of money, a very large sum of money! To make up for this incident."

"Besides that, I’ll give you ten million... thirty million! Just pretend you never saw me tonight."

"Of course, you might still feel unsatisfied. I believe you have an extraordinary sentiment towards snakes but not like that idiot Steve’s obsession. You must have unusual pursuits, just like me!"

"I’m conducting a very interesting research project that has already seen successful cases. Next, it will bring us fame and a fortune! Would you like to join us? We’ll split the profits fifty-fifty! You don’t have to do anything, and outside, you can still be your Brother Se!"

Wen Suolin continued his attempt at bribery or defection. He genuinely intended to collaborate with Feng Yi, knowing that planting someone inside the Union Protection Bureau’s specialists would be advantageous for him in the long run.

However, despite all that Wen Suolin said, Feng Yi hardly took in a word.

Since the young python’s life force was still strong, Feng Yi focused his attention on the man before him.

He could smell the presence of a mature python on the man, one that he had recently been in contact with.

This was clearly not a simple, impulsive theft.

This case might have to be handed over to the Union Protection Bureau for investigation, and perhaps some unexpected surprises would be uncovered.

Feng Yi had come in pursuit not to strike immediately like he had the bodyguard, but to watch for Wen Suolin’s emotional signals.

He clutched a pebble in hand, ready to act if the other showed any sign of aggression.

But it was Wen Suolin’s peculiar emotional signals that primarily held Feng Yi’s interest. For the first time at such close range, Feng Yi wanted to analyze these signals combined with the man’s actions to understand what type of person corresponded with such emotions.

They were intricate, wild, and intense.

Perhaps these emotional signals meant the man was a madman?

How interesting—the tumult and agitation of various emotions, their highs and lows, at one moment serene and the next like a sudden thunderstorm brewing on the spot.

This bizarre aggregation of emotions seemed like a grand political drama unfolding.
