Evening, 8 pm.
Fu Zhou outskirts. Sister Zhang's house.
Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan had spent the day outside, and they returned to their bungalow. They parked their car in the garage and entered the house. Today, Dong Xuebing had requested them to visit all the places around the research center. Dong Xuebing might look like he is on a vacation, but he is actually thinking about how to sneak into the research center.
"Sister Zhang, thank you for your hard work today."
"Haha … with a handsome young man accompanying me, it's not hard at all."
"Huh? Just let me know in the future. I might not be able to help overseas, but I can still help in China. Just look for me if you need any help."
"Oh, you are talking big."
"Err … I am just saying."
"Haha … alright. I will look for you when I return to China."
"No problem. Let's exchange phone numbers, and we can keep in touch."
"Ok. Tell me your number, and I will call you. Do you want my house number?"
"I want both. You must give me a chance to entertain you when you are in China."
"Kid, why do I feel like you're saying goodbye? Aren't you here for vacation? "
"Ok. I will not disturb your work. Tomorrow, I would like to go out and look around."
"You don't know anywhere here, and what can you do by yourself? Can I bring you along? "
"It's fine. I had troubled you enough today, and I don't want to disturb you any longer."
"But Old Xu handed you over to Big Sister, so Big Sister can't just ignore him. How about this, don't be too firm. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Ok … alright."
"That's right. Come, have some drinks."
"Ok. I will go up and change my clothes."
Dong Xuebing walked up the stairs and entered the apartment. He closed the door and even locked it from the inside. He knows Zhang Longjuan has the habit of entering without knocking. Dong Xuebing walked over to the bed and took out a map from his bag. He compared the map with the information in his mind and confirmed the location of the research institute. Although Dong Xuebing had agreed to talk to Zhang Longjuan tomorrow, he does not want to disturb her. He decided to act tomorrow. No matter if he succeeds or fails, Dong Xuebing will not return to Zhang Longjuan after his identity is exposed. He does not want to implicate her.
A map.
Big sunglasses.
He took out two table knives from Sister Zhang's cupboard.
Dong Xuebing tidied up his things and took a deep breath. He hid his things and went downstairs to have a drink with Zhang Longjuan. He wants to have a good night's sleep and be energetic tomorrow.
…
Downstairs.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Zhang Longjuan, who was wearing a sexy black spaghetti strap, was taking a bottle of whiskey and red wine from the wine cabinet. She hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the door, put down the bottle, and walked up to press the doorbell. The LCD screen showed the situation of the doorbell's surveillance camera. The person who rang the doorbell was a man in his thirties.
Zhang Longjuan spoke in English. "Hello?"
The man looked up. "Hello. Are you Manager Zhang?"
Zhang Longjuan heard him speaking in Mandarin and replied. "Yes. Who are you?"
"I need your help with something. Can I go in? It is not convenient to talk here. "The man replied.
Zhang Longjuan did not say anything and opened the door to let him in. "Hurry up. I have guests at home."
The man looked at her seriously and sized her up. He completely ignored Zhang Longjuan's sexy outfit and just looked at her face. "Let me confirm again. May I ask if you're Zhang Longjuan, CEO Zhang?"
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "Yes. What's the matter?"
"Is it convenient to talk now?" The man asked cautiously.
Zhang Longjuan looked upstairs. "Yes. Go ahead."
The man took out an identification card from his pocket and showed it to Zhang Longjuan. "I am from State Security and had rushed over from China. Because Mr. Lui and Mr. Chen had passed away a few days ago, the higher-ups had handed over the work here to me. I am sorry. I did not have the time to hand over the work. I had only looked at your profile, and there should be no problem with your photo. But I still want to confirm your identification card. After all, this is the first time we are meeting."
Zhang Longjuan narrowed her eyes and stared at the man for a while before walking over to the sofa. She took out an identification card from her bag and threw it to the man.
The man looked at the card and nodded. He shook Dong Xuebing's hand.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from upstairs. Dong Xuebing slowly walked down the stairs.
Before Dong Xuebing came downstairs, he heard the doorbell ringing. He thought it was Sister Zhang's friend or business partner and did not pay much attention to it.
"Sister Zhang?"
"Xiao Dong? Are you done changing?"
"Yes. You have a guest? Are you busy? "
Dong Xuebing had only come over to greet Sister Zhang and was about to go back upstairs. But before he turned around, he saw someone downstairs and was stunned. "Brother Zhai?"
Isn't that Di Lei, who was sitting with him on the plane?
The man in the lobby was also surprised. "Xiao Dong?"
Zhang Longjuan blinked. "What's wrong? You all know each other? "
The man replied. "We met on the plane. Our seats are next to each other."
Zhang Longjuan nodded. "What a coincidence. Xiao Dong, this is my friend."
Dong Xuebing walked down the stairs and shook the man's hand. "We are fated to meet again."
"Yes." The man seemed to be distracted and replied to Dong Xuebing.
Zhang Longjuan said. "Xiao Dong, go upstairs and have a seat. I need to speak to Xiao Di."
"Ok. You all go ahead." Dong Xuebing felt something was not right. But he did not say anything and went upstairs.
What a coincidence.
They met on the road and here?
Also, didn't Di Lei say he was working here on the plane? Also, he seldom comes to Fu Zhou. How come he knows Sister Zhang? Did they know each other in China? But why don't they look like they know each other? Dong Xuebing had worked in the Public Security for quite some time and was very sensitive. He could tell something was going on!
No!
He must go and check!
Dong Xuebing immediately used STOP!
… …
The air froze!
Everything stopped!
Dong Xuebing, who had entered the room, turned back and went down the third floor to the lobby. Time stopped. That man and Zhang Longjuan turned around and seemed to be walking towards the guest room on the first floor. Go inside to talk? Dong Xuebing entered the guest room and looked around. There are no wardrobes or places to hide. Forget it. The safest place to hide is under the bed. Dong Xuebing crawled into the room.
Dong Xuebing did not want to waste any more time and immediately used STOP!
… …
Time resumed!
A few seconds later, footsteps could be heard, and the door was opened.
Dong Xuebing could see their feet from under the bed. One was Sister Zhang's red heels, and the other was Di Lei's leather shoes.
The door closed.
Both of them entered the room.
"Can we talk here?" The man asked.
Zhang Longjuan nodded and sat on the bed. She crossed her legs, lit a cigarette, and smoked casually. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Who is that Xiao Dong?"
"He is a friend of my classmate. He is here for a holiday."
"Holiday? Oh. That's all. "
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Why is he so mysterious?
The next moment, the man said. "Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Di Shun. I used to be the liaison for this district. You can call me Old Zhai or Xiao Di. It doesn't matter. Old Lui had passed away. You can contact me for the work here in Fu Zhou. I will take over. Of course, I will not be here for long. The higher-ups will assign a new liaison to you in the future."
Di Shun?
Aren't you Di Lei?
Liaison? From this district?
What does this mean? Why does this sound like you are from State Security?
Dong Xuebing, who was lying under the bed, took a deep breath. He was shocked by what he heard.
Also, if Di Shun is from State Security, how can he speak to Zhang Longjuan like this?
Zhang Longjuan continued smoking. "Actually, I don't care who you all change to. Old Lui? That skinny Xiao Lui? I only met him once five or six years ago. I remember clearly saying that I'm not a member of the State Security, and I won't join it. "
Di Shun smiled. "But in our records, you are indeed one of our peripheral staff." From what Di Shun knew, Zhang Longjuan had joined State Security much earlier than him and was much older than him. With Zhang Longjuan's status, even if Di Shun was transferred to this district, he still has to greet Zhang Longjuan. "The higher-ups have high hopes for you, and I would like to ask for your help."
Zhang Longjuan interrupted him. "I had made it clear in the past, and I still stand by this point. I can give you all money, and I will do my best for the country. But … don't look for me for other matters. I don't want to be involved, and I can't be involved."
"Manager Zhang."
"Please go back."
"Manager Zhang, this is a level one mission!"
Zhang Longjuan frowned and laughed. "Why is there a level one mission in a small district like ours?" Although she was not in State Security, she knew about it. Di Shun looked serious.
Di Shun's face was very serious. "Old Lu and the others died because of this mission. You also know that our work here is not very smooth, so we had no choice but to look for you. We hope that you can help us this once. Even if it is not for Old Lu, for the country, please consider this." Taking a deep breath, Di Shun said with a serious face, "Old Lu is my classmate! I don't want his sacrifice to go to waste! "
Zhang Longjuan kept quiet and threw the cigarette butt on the floor. She stepped on it with her high heels. "Tell me what you want first!"
