Chapter 5, Night Raid

Yuan Wang knew that there was a light switch three meters away from him, but he did not know the location of the other party

In that moment, Yuan Wang's entire body was covered in goosebumps, and adrenaline surged. This was not a supernatural ability; it was a local specialty of his homeland: an instinct to sense danger in the darkness

What should many people do if they cannot afford the high bail amount? They can seek a bail bondsman. After the suspect pays 10 to 20% of the bail amount, they can be released on bail. The remaining 80 to 90% of the bail amount is covered by the bail bondsman. If the suspect appears in court for trial, the 10 to 20% of the bail amount paid by the suspect becomes the compensation for the bail bondsman

Liu Yun's costume designer has a fairly good attitude towards Yuan Wang, as she is also Yuan Wang's most familiar 'colleague' today. One reason is that Yuan Wang has a dignified appearance; despite not deliberately styling her hair or clothing, she still possesses a certain charm, albeit with a slightly lower job status. Another reason is the innate compassion of women; seeing Yuan Wang, a temporary worker, a newcomer, and an honest person being marginalized and assigned heavy tasks, the costume designer has observed this and feels a degree of sympathy.

The temporary warehouse is a conference room located on the westernmost side of the seventh floor, separated by the dining hall, multifunctional conference hall, cinema, and other functional rooms. This half floor is so deserted that not even the corridor lights are on, enveloped in complete darkness

During dinner time, in the temporary staff cafeteria set up in the conference room on the seventh floor, Yuan Wang inquired with Old Lin about his accommodation issues. The west area of the seventh floor does not contain guest rooms; it consists of a conference room, a tea room, a gym, and a movie room. There are only four guest rooms in the east area of the seventh floor, and most of Liu Yun's staff are female, with two girls sharing one room, leaving no available rooms for Yuan Wang

... ...

After posting bail, the suspect is allowed to regain their freedom under certain restrictions, such as not being allowed to leave the city, not being allowed to leave the country, and not being allowed to leave the state. If the suspect appears in court, all bail money will be refunded. However, if the suspect flees or violates the bail conditions, the bail money will be forfeited, and the suspect will be classified as a fugitive

However

"Don't hesitate, be a bit bolder. To be honest with you, we all have to sleep on the floor, directly on the carpet." Old Lin patted Yuan Wang's shoulder: "Young people should learn to endure hardships. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing the storm? Besides, it is a five-star hotel after all; sleeping on the floor is still better than at home. Alright, let's leave it at that, endure a little hardship."

Based on the performance of the opponent just now, they appear to be experienced in combat and quite formidable. The worst news is that the opponent is likely equipped with night vision goggles

Bounty hunting is a highly personal profession. In this regard, teamwork and partners are particularly important. Yuan Wang has faced significant disadvantages in this aspect. After entering the Newtown Major Crimes Unit from the police academy, Yuan Wang only worked for two months, primarily handling errands in the unit, without a true partner. This was followed by a two-year undercover career, during which his partner is currently in prison. Last year, as a witness under the protection of a bailiff, he has been living in seclusion in Katang Town, hardly stepping outside his door.

Yuan Wang slowly chewed his food, contemplating the profession of a bounty hunter

The temporary warehouse is secured with a standard door lock. Yuan placed his hand on the doorknob and pushed open the door to the warehouse

The mysterious figure raised both hands to protect the left side of the head. With a single strike, the immense force of the mysterious figure collided, causing the body to involuntarily crash against the wall. The mysterious figure immediately rolled over like a lazy donkey, causing Yuan Wang to miss his flying elbow strike after landing.

Sympathy is one thing, but they are all women with boyfriends or husbands, and it is impossible for them to take in a single man for the night. Yuan Wang politely took a blanket and said goodbye, and tonight he could only sleep in a temporary storage room

Thus, Yuan Wang obtained the qualification to use the costume designer and makeup artist's bathroom. He also gained the right to store personal luggage, which refers to a set of change of clothes. Lao Lin and his colleagues wore uniforms, and the company's logistics department was responsible for washing and ironing them. There were also four other hired short-term workers in a similar situation as Yuan Wang, who were responsible for miscellaneous tasks and errands

The profession of bounty hunting is related to the judicial system in the United States. In the U.S., if a person is suspected of a crime, they can be granted bail after paying a bail amount before appearing in court. The amount of bail is determined by the judge based on the crime and the specific circumstances, ranging from as low as 30,000 to over 10 million, and even exceeding 100 million.

At the end of the corridor, there is a glow illuminated by a billboard, and this light is like the morning star guiding the way. For Yuan Wang, this is already sufficient, even too much.

Yuan Wang quickly bent down and rolled forward

It seems that working part-time is no longer an option

The costume designer comforts Yuan Wang, for example, a certain temporary worker, who is still painting the walls at the fan club meeting

Yuan Wang stepped into the darkness without any hesitation, a darkness that instilled fear in others but felt like home to him. This hometown of Yuan Wang is not beautiful, yet regardless of beauty or ugliness, love or hate, not everyone has the right to choose their hometown

Yuan Wang expressed his satisfaction with this consolation

Yuan Wang is relatively familiar with the profession of bounty hunting in theory. In the United States, bounty hunters are recognized as a legitimate profession in most states, and their arrest authority is, to some extent, even greater than that of the police. "Bounty hunter" is a broad term; the official titles are bail agent or bail enforcement agent.

Yuan Wang sat down helplessly, looking around. The only person she was somewhat familiar with, the costume designer, was engaged in a lively conversation with her colleagues.

Makeup Artist: "Hey, he is here to assist and help us. If Miss Liu and Mr. Wu find out that we are slacking off, we are doomed"

How ruthless! The mysterious person was drenched in cold sweat, as each of these two actions could be fatal. The mysterious person, using night vision goggles, saw Yuan Wang poised to strike, searching for his location. The good news is that Yuan Wang did not make a sound, did not shout, and did not raise an alarm. The bad news, of course, is: Who the hell is this?

According to a survey by the Shrimp News Agency, between 14% and 17% of individuals eligible for bail in the United States each year abscond after being released on bail

Old Lin smiled and said with a wink, "The big brother has given you a good opportunity, so you should squeeze in with the young ladies."

Chatting with two young ladies in the guest room, we watched television for an hour, when the stylist politely issued a dismissal: We need to rest

After Yuan Wang left, the two young women began discussing him. The costume designer said, "Did you notice? His physical stamina is impressive; he still looks so energetic after a whole day of work"

Yuan Wang naturally did not hear the conversation between the two young ladies, nor did he care if others spoke ill of him, looked down on him, or ignored him behind his back. When others were polite, Yuan Wang was polite in return. When others were impolite, Yuan Wang remained courteous. The significance of this job to Yuan Wang was simply money, nothing more.

Although the mysterious person is visible, they do not dare to approach. Due to the closed door of the room and the heavy curtains drawn tight, there is not a single ray of light in the room for Yuan Wang.

Costume designer: "It's nothing, he's a bit simple-minded. But to be fair, he is quite polite and honest. If it weren't for work, who knows... hee hee..."

After the suspect flees, the bail guarantor will bear 100% of the bail amount. The bail guarantor will certainly refuse to do so, at which point the bail enforcement officers will appear; their job is to apprehend the fugitive. If they successfully recover the fugitive, the court will refund the bail amount to the bail guarantor. The bail guarantor will receive the surplus portion, which is the full amount of 10% to 20% of the bail as the bounty hunter's reward

Hiding by the door, the attacker aimed a knife hand strike at Yuan Wang's neck but missed. The mysterious assailant hooked the door with their foot and closed it. As the mysterious figure turned around, they saw a shoe in the night vision goggles. Yuan Wang stepped on the mysterious person's chest with his left foot and swung his right foot horizontally, targeting the assailant's head.
