I called Grandma Su's number again after I sent away the nosy Tang Jiang and his group.
However, I couldn't get through and the voice message said "The other party's phone is turned off". I'm not sure if it was because Grandma Su didn't charge her phone in time and the battery was too low.
I couldn't get in touch with Grandma Su, so I had no idea what to do with Su Qiao tonight.
I didn't know where Grandma Su's rented apartment was, so I couldn't hand her my granddaughter over to her. I also couldn't go home right now — — do I have to spend the night with Su Qiao at a nearby hotel?
There were a lot of hotels near Da Ning River. After all, the Dong Shan city government planned to develop tourism and turn Dong Shan city into a tourist city. Thus, Da Ning River and Dong Shan Lake became the "tourist attractions" they advertised. They tricked many foreigners into coming to visit Da Ning River and Dong Shan Lake after visiting film city. In the end, they found that the river and lake were completely empty. There were only a few willow trees by the shore, and there were a lot of mosquitoes as well.
It didn't matter if it was a scam or not, since I'm already here, of course I had to come to see it at night. When the tourists arrived, they found that it wasn't as beautiful as the rumors said. They cursed while looking for a place to stay, so the nearby hotels were all full. The hotel owners thanked the party for their good policies, but they also irresponsibly told the tourists: Dong Shan City's Heavenly King Temple and Jianren Temple have a long history. Although they aren't in the top ten of Dong Shan, it would be a pity not to visit.
So the tourists thought they picked up a treasure and eagerly went to the east and west sides the next day. In the end, they found that although the Heavenly King Temple worships the four heavenly kings, there was a monk reading palms among the daoists. And although the Jianren Temple worships Shakyamuni, there was a daoist who set up a stall among the monks for fortune-telling. The monks and daoists were truly one family.
Apparently, the reason the hotel owners strongly recommended the Heavenly King Temple and Jianren Temple to tourists was because they charged entrance fees, and the daoists and monks gave the hotel owners kickbacks …
Since there were many unscrupulous hotels next to Da Ning River, I used Wu Sheng's ID to get a room with Su Qiao and didn't encounter any more questions. Maybe in the eyes of the hotel owner, Su Qiao and I looked like high school students, and Su Qiao's qipao was a personal hobby, or maybe she just came back from cosplay with her boyfriend, so she couldn't help but get a room together.
With that in mind, the owner looked at me with disdain for my sanctimonious behavior of ordering a standard two-bed room instead of a king-sized one.
Since I had worn an eyepatch twice in the Kamakura Jeep, my eyeballs had been squeezed, and my gaze wasn't as sharp as usual. It was as if I hadn't woken up yet, which greatly reduced my threat level. Even the bald innkeeper dared to look down on me.
Of course, Su Qiao took off her blindfold before entering the hotel. However, she had been wearing it for a longer period of time than me, so she needed to gradually get used to the bright light. She could only open her eyes slightly to barely see the road.
After getting the key card, we took the elevator to the standard room on the second floor. I scanned the environment of the room — — it wasn't bad. Although it couldn't compare to Ai Mi's VIP room, at least it was clean. There was a TV opposite the two beds, and there was also a shower for bathing.
I don't know what Ai ShuQiao was thinking, but Su Qiao was not only wearing a qipao, she was also wearing a pair of high heels. It made it difficult for her to move, but it also made it more pleasing to the eye. The innkeeper stared at Su Qiao's back for a long time.
However, Su Qiao, who was wearing high heels, did not immediately sit down to rest after entering the room. Instead, she stood with her hands in front of her body and lowered her gaze, as if she was waiting for someone to give her orders.
No way! During the past two months of training, you didn't even dare to sit down without Marian's permission? You don't have to be like this in front of me! It's not like I'm going to whip you!
"Su Qiao, sit down and rest, I'll give your grandmother a call."
On the way here, I already told Su Qiao about Grandma Su coming to Dong Shan city to find her granddaughter. On one hand, Su Qiao was excited about the arrival of her family, but on the other hand, she was a bit scared. It seems that Grandma Su was a very strict person in her hometown.
With my permission, Su Qiao sat on the bed near the bathroom to rest. She still couldn't believe that she obtained freedom so easily. Fatigue, grievance, and joy appeared on her face at the same time. She couldn't control her emotions due to the complex emotions and she finally started to cry.
"Sorry for disturbing your call, I need to go to the washroom." After Su Qiao cried for a while, she wiped her tears, stood up from the bed, and changed into a pair of slippers provided by the innkeeper.
I couldn't get through to Grandma Su a second time. It seems like I won't be able to contact Grandma Su tonight.
If I can't hand Su Qiao over to Grandma Su to take care of, then I have to temporarily take care of her.
The main reason is that Su Qiao's mental state is very unstable and she needs someone to accompany her. Secondly, I also have to prevent Ai ShuQiao from sending people to take Su Qiao back.
It's not impossible! There used to be a labor contractor in Dong Shan city. He would give the workers their wages during the day and send people to steal it at night! If Su Qiao was taken away by Ai ShuQiao again while I was being careless, then Ai ShuQiao would completely deny that Su Qiao was in her hands!
No matter what, I have to get through tonight first, I should be able to contact Grandma Su tomorrow.
Su Qiao went to the washroom for a while. I had nothing to do outside, so I turned on my phone and started to check the photos I took in Room 013 of Doomsday Bunker. I wanted to see if I could find any clues that would allow me to confirm the location of this secret base.
In the end, one of the photos gave me a huge shock.
After I zoomed in on the photo, I saw a face that I was familiar with and hated under the reflection of the glass on the bookshelf.
This guy who was as thin as a match and had a face like a stick insect was the leader of a small gang in Dongcheng District, Tie Xian! He once cut off brother Gang's tendons and was almost killed by me using Yin Yang Sanshou. Then Ai ShuQiao's people took him away and gave him to Dr. Yu for resuscitation. After he was out of danger, even Dr. Yu didn't know where he went!
So he was hiding in Doomsday Bunker! His face was reflected by the glass on the bookshelf, so did that mean he was peeping at me through an observation hole on the wall behind me? The observation hole seemed to be in a rather high and hidden position, so I didn't find it when I checked the room …
Compared to the hateful expression he had when he looked at me, I was more concerned about the metal reflection on his chin.
What is that! The three pieces of silver metal embedded in the chin like the Terminator were not the titanium alloy reinforcement parts that Professor Yu had added in passing when he was rescuing Tie Xian, right? Even if the lower jaw is broken by me, use normal metal to fix it! If you modified this guy into a Khorium metal dog mouth, then when he bites me for revenge, I'll be in big trouble!
I suddenly remembered that the person who dragged the dying Tie Xian off the street and warned Tie Xian's friends (Draconic Seven, Shrimp Ball) and everyone else (like Huang San's father, Boss Huang) to keep their mouths shut might be the disfigured ninja Kamakura.
In other words, the Doomsday Bunker that Ai ShuQiao bought in the suburbs of Dong Shan city has been in operation for a long time and the location was kept a secret from Dr. Yu. So when Dr. Yu went to save Tie Xian, he would probably be blindfolded.
So, the people who truly represented Ai ShuQiao's interests in Dong Shan city were Kamakura and his gang! Dr. Yu's carefree personality that welcomed people to buy him at any time would definitely not gain Ai ShuQiao's trust! But since Kamakura became my bodyguard, he shouldn't be the manager of the Doomsday Bunker, nor could he be the highest leader of Ai ShuQiao's gang in Dong Shan city — — who was the leader of the Doomsday Bunker? Would Su Qiao know?
At this time, Su Qiao washed away the tears on her face and came out of the washroom.
