Dong Xuebing's eyes brighten up and thought for a while. "Then I will follow you from now on!"
How can he bring her back?
Anyway, it's dark outside, and Dong Xuebing can't see anything. He started thinking about his plan along the way.
The man in black beside Dong Xuebing also slapped Dong Xuebing!
Hou Qing, who was wearing a black suit, was tied up and thrown on the ground. She looked at the rest of the men calmly. The Crew-cut and the rest of the men in the bathhouse are not in the bathhouse. There are only a few fierce-looking men in black, and they should be Ma Wentao's trusted men. Dong Xuebing was also brought into Ma Wentao's office by Ma Wentao, and it seems Manager Ma does not want to hide from him.
Ma Wentao collected all the phones and switched them off by the driver. Even when they were waiting for the traffic lights, the driver threw his SIM card out of the window.
Dong Xuebing is relieved as long as Hou Qing is alive. "Why is she going with us?"
Ma Wentao frowned. He is afraid of killing Hou Qing and did not do anything. "Watch over her. I will go and make a call!"
The rest of the men also went to their rooms, and some of them stayed in a room with Ma Wentao.
Before Dong Xuebing could say anything, Ma Wentao said. "We need to move to a safe place now. Xiao Xie, I will not hide it from you. Anyway, you will know in a few days. My boss is going to do a big business deal, and it might be illegal. That's why we need to go overseas first. You will follow me now, and if you are willing, I can reserve a place for you to go overseas. Of course, if you are not willing, I will not force you."
Hou Qing gritted her teeth. "I am … here to bathe. Hiss … you all … cough … what do you want me to say?"
Manager's office.
Dong Xuebing knew Ma Wentao is trying to rope him in. After all, his appraisal skills might be useful in the future, and that's why he wants to bring him along. Hmmm … he might also be trying to appease Dong Xuebing and give him an empty promise. But no matter what, this group of people is going to bring the relics away. They should be preparing to leave the country, and Dong Xuebing does not have much time left!
There are still many empty rooms, and Dong Xuebing chose a room closest to the back of the building. He entered the room. It is a rough room, and the environment is not good. A few cockroaches are crawling in the corner. There is a bed and table in the room, but there is no bathroom or fridge. The room is empty and smells damp.
"Get out of the car." It was the driver's voice. "You can take off your sunglasses."
"You're quite stubborn!"
Dong Xuebing's heart sank. He knew this is the last chance to contact the outside world. "Alright. Let's go."
This is a woman's private area, and the woman almost fainted from the pain. Her face turned pale and kept coughing. "Cough … I am really … not the Police … Cough!"
"If the police knew about it, they wouldn't have sent her to investigate secretly. They would have taken a large-scale operation. At most, they are suspecting us. If I'm not wrong, many other people are also suspected. They are investigating one by one. Now that you've arrested someone with a guilty conscience, you've fallen into their trap. It won't be long before the police figure it out."
Ma Wentao wasn't surprised by this. On the contrary, the more the middle-aged woman tried to hold on, the more he was sure of her identity. Furthermore, the purpose of her infiltration into the bath center wasn't as simple as cleaning up prostitution. Ma Wentao raised his leather shoe and stepped on the woman's other breast. He used his heel to push hard, and her breast immediately deformed. The woman screamed in pain, but Ma Wentao still wasn't satisfied. He got someone to pry open the woman's two plump thighs. He narrowed his eyes and kicked the woman's lower body!
"… come along with us. If anything happens, we will have another hostage."
"No, it's just that …"
"I understand."
Dong Xuebing heard the car door open and heard footsteps. After a while, someone grabbed Dong Xuebing's arm and brought him out of the car. They walked slowly. Dong Xuebing did not see anything, but he doesn't need to. The surroundings are quiet, and he should be in a remote place. He smells seafood, and it should be near the port or river. Dong Xuebing is not familiar with Hebei Province, and he will not know where he is. Furthermore, he had driven for hours, and he might not be in Hebei Province now.
"I don't know what you are talking about." The woman replied.
Ma Wentao stared at her. "Cut the crap. Which Public Security Bureau are you from? Or are you from the Provincial Bureau? "
The driver took out a bag and passed the sunglasses to Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing.
"Hello." A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while.
From the opaque sunglasses, Dong Xuebing could tell the real boss of Hai Bing Bath Parlor had prepared well. He does not want them to know the route and location of the parlor and is afraid someone will leak the information. At the same time, no passersby will suspect anything. This is much better than covering their faces with a black cloth. Seems like the boss is prepared for this day, and it will not be easy for Dong Xuebing to sneak up on him.
The man on the other side of the phone kept quiet for a while. "Xiao Ma, you have been working for me for many years. Why are you still so rash? You had not handled this incident well from the start. So what if you are the police? Why did you arrest her? Why are you chasing after her? She wants to know our background, and you should let her. Anyway, the items are not there, and she will not be able to find anything even if she turns the place upside down. But by arresting her, you are revealing your true intentions. "
They still need to agree to it and not let them suspect anything?
"Yes. I heard you arrested a cop. Did you find anything from her? "
Just when Ma Wentao was thinking about what to do, the door opened.
"She is very stubborn and refuses to say anything." Ma Wentao replied. "But if it's someone else, they would not be able to take it. Now, we are sure she is a cop and is professionally trained."
15 minutes later, Ma Wentao said. "Alright. We are dismissed. You all can choose any of the rooms inside. I know you all are tired." After saying that, Ma Wentao went up the stairs. Dong Xuebing knew someone will be watching the stairs above and will not let anyone wander around.
Dong Xuebing looked at Ma Wentao and pretended to step forward. "Brother Ma, if she is really a police officer, we … will it be too dangerous?" Ma Wentao waved his hand. He knows what Xiao Xie is worried about, but there are some things he doesn't know, and he has no intention to tell him.
Eight minutes …
"Ok. Bring along that antique appraiser you mentioned."
One hour passed.
"I understand. I had informed him beforehand."
"After the transaction is over, you will get a large sum of money. Don't worry."
One minute …
Hou Qing replied helplessly. "What I said earlier is the truth."
Ma Wentao is very ruthless, and Dong Xuebing frowned. He clenched his fists.
"Alright!" Ma Wentao patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder. "Pack up! The car will be here soon! "
The Crew-cut guy kept quiet when he heard Ma Wentao calling him Boss.
Ma Wentao said apologetically. "I'm sorry, Boss."
"… Say it!"
Ma Wentao sneered. "Then why are you running?"
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Overseas? You are not coming back? "
Three hours …
"Yes. Do you still have something to do here?"
One hour …
"Manager Ma had asked everyone to wear sunglasses."
After a while, Ma Wentao said. "You can remove your sunglasses now."
"You are shameless!" Ma Wentao went up and kicked Hou Qing's right breast!
After hanging up, Ma Wentao made a few more calls to prepare. In the end, he returned to the office and whispered something to a few burly men. They immediately nodded and quickly picked up the middle-aged beautiful woman who was lying on the ground and took her out.
"She should be in another car."
"Yes. What should we do now? If the Police know we had arrested that woman, we … "
After leaving the room, Ma Wentao entered another office and dialed a number.
Only Ma Wentao and Dong Xuebing are left in the office.
Dong Xuebing took off his sunglasses. They are in a warehouse, but he does not know where it is.
Slap! Another slap! "What should we do with that female officer?"
Why is she wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night?
Why is she wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night? Dong Xuebing and Crew Cut were puzzled, but they did not ask anything. After they put on the sunglasses, they realized these are not sunglasses. The lenses cover half of their faces, and they can't see anything under the sunglasses. They must have applied something on the lenses, and they can't see what's going on outside.
After returning to his room, Dong Xuebing sat on the sofa to pack his luggage.
Hou Qing's hair is messy. Someone had pulled her hair, and there are red palm prints on her face. Her clothes and pants are covered with footprints. She must have been stepped on more than a dozen times. Her stomach and arms are bleeding, and her skin is broken. But even after being beaten up by Ma Wentao and his men, the woman did not say a word. She only said she is not a police officer.
Dong Xuebing blinked and took off his sunglasses. The bright light shone into his eyes, and he was not used to the darkness. He narrowed his eyes and saw a spacious basement. There are more than a dozen rooms on both sides, and it's quite spacious. There are about a dozen people in the basement, and Ma Wentao is standing not far away. But he did not see the boss.
"Brother, is the car here?" Dong Xuebing asked.
After an unknown amount of time, the car seemed to be taking small roads and mountain roads. They changed cars three times in a row!
The man did not want to say anything, and he did not know what happened. He nodded and did not say anything.
"Ah!" With a heart-wrenching scream, the beautiful woman fainted!
Since there was no way to contact the outside world, Dong Xuebing gave up. Actually, if he contacted the Police now, he might mess things up. If Manager Ma and the rest found out about this, he might not be able to find the relics. Hmmm … … better to take it one step at a time. The man in black did not bring Dong Xuebing to the front stairs or the front door. He brought Dong Xuebing to a narrow emergency exit in the backyard and exited through a small metal gate.
Hou Qing looked at the man and asked. "You are Manager Ma? Public Security? How can I be from the Public Security? I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk. I wanted to go out and eat something, but I couldn't find the elevator. Then, I remembered that this building wasn't high, and there was no elevator. I was sleepy and wanted to find the stairs to go down. Why were there so many people chasing after me? Manager Ma, I am telling the truth. "
The Crew-cut frowned. "Old Sun, what is the meaning of this?"
The beautiful woman's screams continued to resound throughout the room.
Late at night.
I'll arrange everything for you on the way. It's time to throw away the property of the bath center. When we finish this business overseas, we'll have enough money to spend for five or six lifetimes. The property here in China is nothing. Remember, bring along those who know us well. Don't let them fall into the hands of the police. "" That's right. Don't let the police know about the bath center. Don't let them fall into their hands. "
Slap! Hou Qing's face swelled up, and a palm print was left on her cheek!
A new Odyssey MPV is in front. Dong Xuebing boarded the car, and the first two rows are full. He walked to the third row, but the policewoman and Ma Wentao are not here. They might be in another car. After a while, the crew-cut man from the bathhouse boarded the car, and the driver said something over the phone. After that, the backdoor of the MPV opened.
Ma Wentao looks at them. "It's not that I don't trust all of you. I just want to be safe. Please forgive me."
Ma Wentao nodded and grabbed a wooden stick. He is about to continue torturing Hou Qing.
The relics should be nearby, but Dong Xuebing's priority now is not to look for them. No matter how important the relics are, they are not as precious as human lives. He must think of a way to get that middle-aged woman over. If not, she will be tortured more than a man!
"Wake her up!" Ma Wentao ordered.
The driver added. "Oh, can you pass me your mobile phones too?"
After everyone got out of the car one after another, the driver got into a Toyota off-road vehicle next to him and asked everyone to get in. Dong Xuebing, the crew-cut man, and the rest looked at each other and did not say anything. They opened the door and boarded the SUV. The Odyssey could seat seven people, and when the Toyota put down the passenger seat, it wouldn't be much of a problem to squeeze six or seven people. After everyone was seated, the driver asked them to put on their sunglasses and drove off.
Ma Wentao's face changed. "But the Police might know about this. If not, they will not send their men over. Rather than letting her escape, we should capture her and ask the Police."
Two hours …
His mind was already spinning. What he wanted to do now was to send a message to the police and ask them to keep an eye on the car that was about to leave the bathing center. First, it was to find the relics, and second, it was to save the beautiful woman. This was already an urgent matter. However, the phone was not connected to the outside world, and he did not have a communication device. Should he take the risk and borrow a phone from someone on the second floor? Or should he find an office to make a phone call?
Ma Wentao sneered. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Thud … thud … thud … that man dragged Dong Xuebing down the stairs.
Crew Cut walked in tiredly, pulled open a door, and entered.
"Don't talk about that. Since we have arrested her, we cannot let her go."
Five minutes …
The middle-aged woman wiped the blood off her lips. "You all have found the wrong person. I am not the Police."
Ma Wentao replied respectfully. "Boss, something happened at the bathhouse."
Dong Xuebing was exhausted, and he could feel it's almost dawn from the light from his sunglasses.
Ma Wentao cleared his throat and nodded slightly. "Everyone doesn't need to know too much about this mission. Just know that it's important. Keep your spirits up. The boss is up there, and everyone's performance will be seen by the boss. When it's time to reward everyone, it'll be the same old rule. Whoever puts in more effort will get more." After that, Ma Wentao said some warm words.
Everyone replied it's fine.
The man nodded. "… it is just in front."
Dong Xuebing's mind is not on the bathhouse. He is looking around for that middle-aged woman.
Dong Xuebing felt the car had stopped, and the only light in front of him dimmed. It seems they had entered a dark place, and there is a damp smell in the air. It should be a warehouse. With a bang, there was the sound of a car door being pulled open in front of him. He could not hear the faint voice clearly.
"Where is that female officer? How is she being handled? "
Dong Xuebing is worried about the middle-aged woman's safety. "Brother Ma …"
Hou Qing smiled. "I am a woman, and so many people are chasing after me. I had to run."
Ma Wentao looked at her coldly. "Tell me! Who sent you here?!"
A big man picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it on the beautiful woman's head and face. Cough, cough, cough. The beautiful woman choked and coughed a few times. She slowly woke up, but the many injuries on her body made her very weak. She gasped for breath with a pale face.
Ma Wentao looks at her with a sneer. "Don't think everyone is stupid. How many people will believe what you said?" Ma Wentao paused for a second and shouted. "Tell me! Who asked you to come to Hai Bing Bath Parlor? What are you doing here? Catching prostitutes? Gambling? Or something else? Also, you were wandering around the third floor earlier. Which room did you enter? What are you looking for? If you tell me the truth, we can still negotiate. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
The driver, Old Sun, replied. "This is my boss's order. Please don't take off your sunglasses."
The third Jinbei car stopped. "You can alight now. Don't take off your sunglasses first. Someone will bring you in."
Dong Xuebing looked around and sat on the bed.
A man in black said. "Brother Xie, Manager Ma had asked me to fetch you."
