In the bedroom, Song Jia didn't look like she was drunk at all. On the contrary, she was as sober as when she first entered the room. Earlier, she was drinking plain water downstairs, pretending to be drunk because she wanted to play along with Zhang Heng.
When they went upstairs, Zhang Heng searched her again and said, "Okay, you can speak normally now. There are no more bugs on your body, but you'd better be careful. Don't speak too loudly, lest others hear you downstairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jia couldn't wait to ask, "Who are they?"
"This is what I want to know too," Zhang Heng went to the window and closed it. He paused, then added, "When we went to Dr. Baker's house, I noticed that someone was watching him. That should be why Dr. Baker was so nervous and unwilling to talk to us. I don't know how much those people have been monitoring Dr. Baker, and I don't know if there are bugs or cameras in his clinic. So, I didn't ask any more questions at that time."
Song Jia came to a sudden realization. "Dr. Beck said 'you're their people' before, but I was a little confused. It seems that he thinks we're in cahoots with the people who are monitoring him."
"Yeah."
"This is also the reason why those people put a bug on me." Song Jia was very smart. She quickly pieced together the ins and outs of the matter. Most importantly, she finally understood why she was being monitored when she was just an ordinary person.
However, Zhang Heng only selectively explained part of the story to Song Jia. For example, before he entered Dr. Baker's clinic, he had actually observed that the people who were monitoring him were at the bar. That was why he proposed to go to the bar for dinner. Song Jia would probably find it hard to understand why Zhang Heng did that.
But for Zhang Heng, he came to this completely unfamiliar land alone to investigate what happened 18 years ago. He didn't even know who his enemy was, and he wasn't familiar with this city at all. So, he didn't want to play a protracted war with them. The longer the fight dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for the party with the home advantage.
Instead of carefully testing each other, it was better to take the initiative to attack before the other party figured out his background. Zhang Heng had actually planned to fight them in the bar, but he didn't expect them to only put a bug on Song Jia. But it was better this way. After all, Zhang Heng was still a tourist. If he fought with the people on the island in public, he might be sent back to his country if he wasn't careful.
Pushing the fight back a little, it would be more appropriate for the fight to take place in his house. The reason why he did not let Song Jia leave was that he was worried that she would be kidnapped on her way home. However, before he could discuss with Song Jia how to lure the intruders into his house, someone was already knocking on his door.
This surprised Zhang Heng a little because this group of people had been following them for a while now. It was obvious that they wanted to know why he and Song Jia went to see Dr. Baker. But until now, they hadn't gotten an answer. Could it be that they had run out of patience and decided to use force?
But this saved Zhang Heng a lot of trouble. When he heard the sound of the door being broken, he didn't panic at all. He even had the time to tell Song Jia, whose expression had changed drastically. "Stay here and don't run around. I guess I'll need you to translate for me later."
After that, Zhang Heng pushed open the master bedroom door and walked out. When he came to the corridor, he locked the door behind him, pulled out the key, and put it in his pocket.
At this time, the door had just been knocked open. However, the group of people were still cautious. Perhaps they were afraid that it was a trap, they didn't rush in immediately.
So Zhang Heng put the travel bag in his hand on the ground and took out a Lego gun from it.
This time, Zhang Heng had to take a plane to go through the security check, and he didn't want the bartender lady to know his destination. Hence, he didn't use the game checkpoint's shipping service. Hence, he couldn't bring the Pestilence Bone Bow and Shrouded Scabbard with him. However, the Infinite Building Block, which was also a Grade-B game item, was not affected at all.
And Zhang Heng bought two boxes of building blocks before boarding the plane. He built two weapons on the plane just to deal with this situation. He inserted the Infinite Building Block into the last slot, and the next moment, a Beretta M92F magically appeared in his hand.
At the same time, the people downstairs had finally completed their preliminary investigation. After confirming that the first floor was safe, they finally came in. They probably didn't want outsiders to see them trespassing, so they immediately closed the door and made their way to the stairs.
Zhang Heng listened to the footsteps and found that two people came in. He then put the Beretta M92F back into his waist. Zhang Heng's goal was to capture them alive and interrogate them. This group of people had their eyes on Dr. Baker, and it was likely related to what happened 18 years ago. Hence, the pistol was just a safety measure. If everything went smoothly, Zhang Heng wouldn't need to use it at all. Besides, with the gun-drawing skills he had learned in the western quest, there wasn't much difference between holding it in his hand and his waist.
If he really encountered any danger, he could pull out the gun immediately.
After he was ready, Zhang Heng carried the travel bag and walked downstairs. As a result, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a strong man with a masked face rushing towards him angrily.
Although the man had disguised himself by changing his clothes and covering his face, leaving only his eyes exposed, Zhang Heng thought that the method was a little too crude. The masked man had only changed his upper body, and his pants and shoes were still there. Besides, his body hadn't changed at all. Zhang Heng recognized him at a glance. He was the man of the couple he saw in the bar.
Needless to say, the one behind him was his girlfriend. The two cooperated well, pouncing on Zhang Heng one after the other.
The man was still mumbling something, but Zhang Heng couldn't understand what he was saying. He didn't know why the other party was glaring at him with fire in their eyes. It was as if they had a deep grudge against each other. However, the two obviously didn't know each other, and Zhang Heng couldn't be bothered to guess. Once he subdued them, he could ask Song Jia to translate for him.
Although it was one against two, Zhang Heng didn't panic at all. He didn't dodge either, taking the punch head-on. After that, he took two steps back.
