Afternoon.
Cheng Bin Hotel. Elevator.
Level one….
Level three….
Level six….
Ding! The elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
Dong Xuebing threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped out calmly.
The moment Dong Xuebing stepped out, a baton was swung towards his head. The people downstairs had informed the security guards upstairs to ambush him. He raised his arm and grabbed that security guard’s wrist. After that, he twisted the guard’s wrist and kneeled him in his stomach. The guard fell to his knees, and Dong Xuebing kicked him aside!
There is a group of security guards on level six.
Why did a small hotel hire so many security guards?
Dong Xuebing looked at the left corridor and saw three security guards blocking his way. He immediately felt there was something wrong with this place.
The security guards exchanged looks and rushed forward to attack Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing thought nothing of them. Since he had started the fight, he will continue fighting to the end.
The office is at the end of the corridor.
The hotel’s boss, Chang Dajin, is watching the CCTV footage on his PC monitor. His face changed when he saw his security guards fighting with Dong Xuebing. “Who is this guy?”
“I don’t know.” A man in a suit replied.
“What is he here for?”
“I heard he wants to meet you, and he started fighting our security guards since he came.”
“What are the guards doing?! How come so many people cannot stop him? Did we hire them to come here for retirement?”
“Boss, this guy is good at fighting. He should have received formal martial arts training.”
Chang Dajin took a deep breath after seeing another security guard beaten up by that young man. He took out his phone and made a call. “Hello, Director Wu. We have some troubles here.”
Director Wu frowned. “What happened?”
Chang Dajin replied. “I am not sure, but someone had come to our hotel to create trouble. Many of our security guards are defeated, and he is reaching my office soon.”
“How many people?”
“Only one.”
“Only one?!” Director Wu asked. “You all can’t even deal with one person?”
“That guy seems to be martial arts trained, and our security guards are no match for him.”
“Alright. I will send my men over.”
“Thank you, Director Wu.”
Chang Dajin seems relieved after hanging up and looks at his monitor again. All the security guards were either groaning in pain or fainted on the floor, and he frowned. He turned to the man in a suit beside him and was about to ask something when a loud bang was heard.
The office door was kicked open.
Dong Xuebing straightens his shirt and looks at the two men in the office. “Which one of you is the boss?”
Chang Dajin sat in his chair calmly. “It’s me.”
“It’s so hard to meet you.” Dong Xuebing walked over and pulled a chair in front of Chang Dajin.
The man in the suit looks at Dong Xuebing coldly. “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am.” Dong Xuebing replied. “You all should ask why am I here for.”
Chang Dajin looks at Dong Xuebing. “Ok. I also want to know.”
Dong Xuebing might be infamous in Nan Shan District, but no one has heard of him in Dong Hai District. “If possible, I also don’t want to fight with your men. Having a nice talk is better than using violence. But I had no choice as your security guards are well trained, and I got to take precautions. I’m sorry if I had gone overboard. Sometimes, it’s hard to control my strength.”
Chang Dajin smiled. “It’s fine.”
“Good.” Dong Xuebing nodded and lit a cigarette. “Although I did not control my strength, I will never hit others without reasons. We, especially a businessman like you, are reasonable people, and we should reason things out instead of using violence. Do you agree with me?”
Chang Dajin laughed. “What are you trying to say? I don’t get it.”
“Let’s not feign ignorance.” Dong Xuebing points down. “Most of your hotel rooms are installed with secret cameras, right?”
The man in the suit frowned.
Chang Dajin remained emotionlessly. “Where are you talking about? Secret cameras?”
Dong Xuebing sneered. “You should be asking yourself.”
“We are a legit business.” Chang Dajin stops smiling and stares at Dong Xuebing. “I don’t know what you are talking about. Why should we install hidden cameras in our rooms?”
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders. “How do I know what you all are up to? You all are the ones who want to have cameras in your rooms. Maybe you all are making profits through these despicable ways. Who knows?” This is Dong Xuebing’s way of doing things. Once he had gotten something, he would not let the other party off.
The man in the suit got mad. “Brat! Watch what you are saying!”
Chang Dajin waved his hand to stop him and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Don’t accuse us of such things.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “You don’t want to admit it?! Fine. How about we check your hotel rooms now?”
Chang Dajin replied without thinking. “No problem. But we should settle the issue of you barging into my hotel and beating up my security guards first.” He guessed this young man must have heard that he was recorded in the hotel room when he was staying here. He might also be here for someone else. Such incidents happen almost every few months, and he is used to it.
So what if you can fight well?!
Can you stop bullets?
But unknown to Chang Dajin, Dong Xuebing is not afraid of missiles now, let alone bullets. “Oh, you want me to take responsibility for what happened? I’m afraid you all should be the ones giving me an explanation.”
Chang Dajin laughed. “The police is arriving soon. Save your breath to explain to them. I don’t have time for you.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Alright. I also want to report to the police. The Public Security Bureau should investigate your hotel.”
“This is not up to you to decide.” Chang Dajin laughed. “I’m afraid it is not the Public Security Bureau who is coming. You better be prepared. I have met many people like you. Young man, I am giving you a piece of advice out of goodwill.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Then I should thank you.”
“Thank someone else instead.”
“You said it is not the Public Security Bureau officers who are coming….” Dong Xuebing looks at Chang Dajin. “Are you saying that it is the State Security officers who will be coming?”
Chang Dajin frowned. “You will know in a while.”
“Oh, it’s the State Security?!” Dong Xuebing is surprised.
This small hotel is related to State Security? This is making things more complicated and interested. Dong Xuebing is not afraid of trouble. It will be more interesting if it is a challenge. This hotel is not as simple as it looks. No…. I must check this person’s background first. He is not afraid of the police and dares to install hidden cameras in the hotel room and send the video footage to Dong Xuebing’s Subdistrict Office. He might have someone backing him, and it could be the State Security Bureau. Is it the Provincial level or the City level State Security?
Dong Xuebing immediately mumbles the command in his heart.
STOP!
Time stopped.
Chang Dajin’s cold smile froze, and the man in a suit stood silently beside him.
Dong Xuebing got up from the chair and pulled Chang Dajin’s desk drawers open. The first drawer has some hotel operation reports. Most of the other drawers are either empty or contain cigarettes and alcohol. He couldn’t find anything and started checking Chang Dajin’s pockets.
Identification cards, bank cards, name cards, etc.
Finally, Dong Xuebing found a hidden pocket in the underside of his pants. He reached into it and pulled out a leather wallet with ‘POLICE’ written on it. This item is something he is very familiar with. He opened it and looked at the identification card before keeping it in his pocket. He tidied up Chang Dajin’s clothes and returned to his chair.
STOP deactivated.
Time resumed.
Dong Xuebing looks like he has not moved from the chair.
Chang Dajin saw Dong Xuebing keeping quiet, and he smiled. He is too young, and there’s no way for him to scare Chang Dajin. “Are you afraid now?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Afraid? Are you talking about me?”
Chang Dajin replied. “You will know in a while.”
“I’m sorry. I have never been afraid since young.” Dong Xuebing reached into his pocket and took out the leather wallet. “Is this your State Security identification? Not bad.” He opens the wallet. “Chang Dajin. What a nice name.”
Chang Dajin was shocked. He quickly touched his pants and realized his identification card was missing.
