Evening.
Lui An City.
The veil of night was hazy, and pedestrians were moving about in a hurry. The streets were brightly lit, and it revealed a flourishing aura.
Dong Xuebing did not drive to Lui An City. He had taken a long-distance bus to Lui An City. He looked at this unfamiliar city and the people around him. He walked along Lui An City's longest commercial street and bought a map and travel brochure from a newspaper stand. He sat down on a bench and flipped through the map to familiarize himself with the city. He tried to remember every street and every famous building in the city. After he left Lui An City, he hailed a taxi and boarded it.
"Sir, please go to Hai Bing Bath Parlor." Dong Xuebing sat in the back seat.
The driver turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Young man, from your accent, you are from another city?"
"That's right. What's wrong?"
"That place is not clean." The driver said. "If you want to have fun, you should go to Hailong Bath Parlor. It's not far from here."
Dong Xuebing asked curiously. "Sir, why is that place not clean? Can you tell me more about it?"
The driver is very talkative and explained to Dong Xuebing as they drove to the main road. Most bath parlours are not clean. But the driver is not referring to the service. He is referring to the frequent incidents of fights, robberies, and robberies. Their reputation is not good, and they seem to be backed by triads. The only good thing about going there is that they do not need to worry about being arrested by the Police.
Dong Xuebing had already expected this and did not mind.
It could be said that it was a huge gamble for him to come all the way to Lu An City.
Dong Xuebing is not sure if sasasa668's information is real. Even if it is, he does not know if the item is still with the boss of Hai Bing Bath Parlor. That's why Dong Xuebing did not report this to the County Bureau. He did not even tell anyone about this. Firstly, he does not know where he got this information from. Secondly, if this information is wrong, it will be embarrassing for him. If the Provincial Bureau sends so many people to arrest Dong Xuebing, he will be accused of lying.
That's why Dong Xuebing wants to find out more about this place.
Yes, he was going to be undercover and sneak into the Seaside Bath Parlor to investigate carefully. After all, he had more than a week off.
To prevent himself from being exposed, he had left all his belongings in Yan Tai County. His car, work permit, ID, watch, mobile phone, Kirin Pendant, and even his clothes were cheap. Before he came, he had called many people to tell them that he will be going on a trip with his friends to relax. He also told them that he will not be able to reach them because he will be hiking in the mountains. Anyway, he did not need to worry about anything and gave himself almost ten days of free time.
City, Central Street North Road.
Dong Xuebing alighted from the taxi and looked at the signage across the road.
Haibin Bath Center. This was the place. At first glance, the building's exterior decoration could be considered high-end. The bath center's signboard was flashing with red lights. Two pretty receptionists in cheongsams stood at the entrance and bowed gently to the guests. Many high-end cars were also entering the parking lot. Well, at a glance, it did not look like a bath center like those in Beijing. It looked more like a leisure club.
Dong Xuebing did not enter first. He walked around the bath center.
After getting a feel of the surroundings, Dong Xuebing had cut his hair and adjusted his collar. To get this First-class merit, Dong Xuebing had cut his hair before he set off. He was dressed differently from when he was in Yan Tai County. He does not want to be recognized. Actually, the people in Lui An City will not read Yan Tai County's newspapers. But Dong Xuebing had appeared on the front page of the Provincial Newspaper before. Although it was not a recent photo of him, Dong Xuebing still changed his style.
OK！
Everything is ready!
Dong Xuebing calmed down and walked towards the main entrance.
Although the two receptionists saw Dong Xuebing was dressed shabbily, they still maintained their professional smiles and bowed slightly.
"Welcome."
"Welcome."
Dong Xuebing entered the lobby. The red marble tiles were very eye-catching, and many people were at the front desk. Dong Xuebing looked over but did not go over. He looked around and saw a staff in his thirties. He walked over to him.
"Is this place hiring?" Dong Xuebing asked.
The crew cut man looked at Dong Xuebing. "Are you applying for a job? What do you know? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I know a little bit of everything."
"You also know how to massage? Do you have a license? What level are you at? "
"Huh? No."
The crew cut man waved his hand. "That means you don't know anything. You can leave now." Generally, bathing centers are not short of handymen. This is a good idea, and it is easy to get women who are willing to come out. What they lack is professional licensed masseurs. Some customers do not come here for "meat". Many of them prefer "vegetarian" massage, such as back massages, feet massages, head massages, etc. Although non-professionals can learn how to massage, they are not professionals. There are not many licensed masseurs who are willing to work in such places for a long time. That's why there is a shortage of such masseurs.
Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. "Although I don't have a license, I still have the strength. You see …"
The crew cut man shook his head. "We do not lack people to do odd jobs."
"I don't care about the salary as long as we provide food and accommodation."
The crew cut man shook his head and waved his hand to chase Dong Xuebing away.
Dong Xuebing was frustrated. He was the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Public Security Bureau and had good fighting skills, marksmanship skills, and other capabilities. How come he could not even get a job as an errand boy? This is too much of a blow to him! Dong Xuebing will not leave as he does not believe he will not get the job. He continued to promote himself to the crew cut man for more than twenty minutes.
The crew cut man's head hurts. This person is too talkative. He stared at the crew cut man and wanted to ask the security to chase him away.
Dong Xuebing saw the crew cut man and said. "I had worked at Brother Bao's car wash in the past. I know what you mean."
The crew cut man was stunned. "Which Brother Bao?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Fen Zhou City's Brother Bao."
Yan Tai County is under the jurisdiction of Fen Zhou City, and Dong Xuebing had heard of Fen Zhou City's Old Bao. His nickname is Brother Bao. His main business is an automobile repair shop. Although his business is not big, he is quite famous in the underworld. Although Fen Zhou City is far from Lui An City, Hai Bing Bath Parlor is involved with the underworld, and he should have heard of Brother Bao's name.
Dong Xuebing guessed correctly. The crew cut man had heard of Brother Bao. "Then why are you not working at the auto repair shop?"
"Sigh … Don't mention it." Dong Xuebing complained. "I am working overtime for 20 hours a day. It's too tiring."
"You really want to work here?" The crew cut man looked at Dong Xuebing. "Our work here is not easy."
Dong Xuebing immediately nodded.
The crew cut man thought for a while and said. "The housekeeping department needs a few towel washers. 600 RMB a month, and food and accommodation will be provided. If you are willing, you can start work today."
Dong Xuebing pretended to be troubled. "600 RMB … How about 800 RMB?"
The crew cut man replied impatiently. "Just 600 RMB. Do you want to work or not?"
"Fine. 600 RMB it is."
The crew cut man called the housekeeping department and told them about Dong Xuebing. After that, he hung up and introduced the layout of Hai Bing Bath Parlor to Dong Xuebing. This is the bathing area, the billiards area, and the guest rooms are upstairs. Dong Xuebing memorized everything in his mind. When they arrived at an office, the crew cut man suddenly asked Dong Xuebing for his identification card to register.
Dong Xuebing replied with a sad face. "I … lost my identification card."
The crew cut man frowned. "How are you going to work without an identification card? I know where you are from. "
"Please make an exception. I have lost my identification card."
The buzz cut guy had seen this kind of people before. On the contrary, he met them all the time. He didn't believe that the man had lost his ID card and just didn't want to show it to others. This kind of people often committed crimes, such as stealing or robbing, so he was shocked. The buzz cut guy was not surprised. Their place was not a clean place anyway. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more. After giving him a few instructions, he asked someone to take him to the guest room.
Back room on the second floor.
There was a small door, and after entering, the scenery changed. It was a stark contrast to the luxurious surroundings outside. Rows of rooms were close to each other, and there were almost no gaps. The roofs and floors were made of low-quality materials. This was the staff quarters. Dong Xuebing was assigned to the sixth room. When he opened the door, he could smell the smell of laundry detergent. Two young men in their twenties were washing clothes in the room. The room was not big, but there were 4 bunk beds. It was a room for 8 people.
Dong Xuebing was not happy with the environment, but he did not show it on his face.
The foreman who brought Dong Xuebing here said. "This is a newcomer. Tell him about the rules and duties first."
After the foreman left, Dong Xuebing introduced himself. "My name is Xie Hao."
The two young men also introduced themselves and told Dong Xuebing about the working procedures. The staff in this room were washing blankets and towels. There were no other requirements as long as the items were clean. Four of them were on the morning shift, and four of them were on the night shift. The 8 of them were staying in one room. Dong Xuebing was not interested in these things. After they got to know each other, he started to get information from them. He wanted to know where the boss of Hai Bing Bath Parlor was.
But the few of them shook their heads. They had been washing things all day and did not know much about this place.
The highest level they could get in touch with was Manager Ma Wentao. Manager Ma had the final say in Hai Bing Bath Parlor, and his authority was almost the same as the boss. Dong Xuebing could not get any more information from them, and he could not be bothered to talk to them. He had completed the first step, and the next step was to familiarize himself with this place. After that, he will look for an opportunity to investigate this place.
10 pm.
Hai Bing Bath Parlor's office.
Ma Wentao was sitting behind his desk, reading something. The buzz cut man and a few other foremen were standing in the office.
After a while, Ma Wentao, who is in his forties, asked with a straight face. "Is there anything wrong today?"
Manager Ma had been asking this question for the past few days. Everyone knew there was a crackdown, and it was better to be careful. A young woman replied politely. "The lobby is fine. Everything is normal."
"The guest room is fine too."
"The back room is also fine."
Ma Wentao frowned. "I am not asking if there are any troublemakers. I am asking if there are any suspicious people checking in."
The young woman was stunned. "I don't think so. All of them are checking in with their IDs."
Ma Wentao continued. "The crackdown is very strict, and all of you must be careful. Chase those who refuse to show their IDs out."
"Yes." Everyone looked at each other suspiciously.
After thinking for a while, Ma Wentao was still worried. "We must be strict with the registrations. Even if they are old customers, we must be careful. Also, from today onwards, this place will not be recruiting anymore. Even the Young Mistress will be the same. Just use all the previous employees."
The young woman was stunned. "Manager Ma, this …"
Ma Wentao waved his hand. "Don't ask anything. Just do as I say."
The crew cut man hesitated for a while. "Manager, someone came to apply for a job earlier, and I had brought him to the housekeeping department. This …"
"How old is he?" Ma Wentao frowned.
"In his early twenties."
"Did he leave his ID card with us?"
The crew cut man replied. "He said he had lost his ID card and did not leave it. I heard from him that he had worked as a mechanic for Fen Zhou City's Brother Bao before."
Ma Wentao thought for a while and said cautiously. "Go and bring him over for me to see!"
After a while, the Crew-cut returned with Dong Xuebing. The staff in the room had changed, and only two muscular men in suits remained. They are not wearing sunglasses, but their expressions are fierce. Dong Xuebing can tell they are not good people. Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat when he saw them. He knew they might be suspicious, but he was overjoyed. Since they are so cautious, it should be true!
"Manager Ma." Dong Xuebing pretended to look at him.
The crew cut man shouted. "Stop talking nonsense. Show me your ID card!"
"I really lost it. If you don't believe me, you can check my wallet." Dong Xuebing took out his wallet. "I am trying to get a new one."
Ma Wentao narrowed his eyes and stared at Dong Xuebing. "Don't play tricks with me. Do you know where this place is?" He paused for a while and said coldly. "You said you had worked for Brother Bao before? Brother Bao's garage was closed six months ago! When did you start working there? "
Closed? Dong Xuebing doesn't know about this as he had only said it casually.
Dong Xuebing calmed himself down and replied. "I had been working there for a while before the garage was closed, but I quit as I was too tired."
Ma Wentao's face turned colder, and he stared at Dong Xuebing like a wolf. "I have met Brother Bao a few times, and I have a good relationship with Da Zhui. Are you working with Da Zhui in the backroom, or are you working with Xiao Chen?"
Dong Xuebing replied without hesitation when he heard Ma Wentao knew Da Zhui. "I am working with Brother Chen."
Ma Wentao nodded and banged the table. "F * * k you! Press him down! "
Dong Xuebing was stunned, and two men beside Ma Wentao grabbed Dong Xuebing. Bam! Dong Xuebing was pinned to the ground.
Ma Wentao's face changed. "Who are you?! Who sent you here?! "
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat and pretended to be helpless. "Manager Ma, what are you doing? I am just a part-time worker looking for a job."
The Crew-cut guy kicked Ma Wentao's leg. "Bullshit! Brother Bao's garage had never been closed before! It is still open now! You really know how to climb up the ladder?! Work with Brother Chen?! He and his brother-in-law are the bosses of Brother Bao's garage! They are in charge of his subordinates! Where is this Brother Chen and Da Zhui?! How can you know a random name?! "
Damn!
Dong Xuebing realized he had been tricked!
Dong Xuebing had never been an undercover agent and had not learned anything about this. He did not know how to react to this sudden outburst.
Damn! This Ma Wentao is too cunning!
That's right! BACK 1 minute!
… …
… …
The scene changed!
The pain disappeared, and Dong Xuebing can stand up again. His back was covered in cold sweat.
"Don't play tricks with me. Do you know where you are?" Ma Wentao sat behind his desk and narrowed his eyes. "You said you had worked with Brother Bao before? Brother Bao's garage had been closed six months ago! When did you start working there? "
Dong Xuebing was puzzled. "I was still working there last month. How come it is closed? Is it closed? "
Ma Wentao looked at Dong Xuebing. "I have met Brother Bao a few times, and I have a good relationship with his assistant, Da Zhui. Are you working with Da Zhui in the backroom, or are you working with Xiao Chen?"
Dong Xuebing was puzzled. "The people working there are ordinary workers like me, and I don't remember their names. But I don't remember anyone called Da Zhui. There is someone with the surname Chen, but Brother Chen is not in charge of the garage. When Brother Bao is not around, his brother-in-law is in charge of the garage. "
Ma Wentao stopped frowning and did not say anything.
The Crew-cut guy saw Dong Xuebing knows a lot about the garage and believed him. "Manager Ma, should we let him …"
Ma Wentao's suspicions were cleared. Since Dong Xuebing had worked with Brother Bao before, he should be fine. "Alright. Let him go back to work."
The Crew-cut guy nodded and brought Dong Xuebing out.
In the corridor, Dong Xuebing pretended to be confused. "Is Brother Bao's garage really closed? I don't think so. "
The Crew-cut guy pushed Dong Xuebing. "Go back to work! Why are you asking so many questions?! "
Dong Xuebing nodded and walked towards the end of the stairs. When he turned around, Dong Xuebing sneered. F * * k! Trying to trick me?! You are still too young!
But … it was really f * cking dangerous!
After this incident, Dong Xuebing realized it is not easy to be an undercover agent!
