Chapter 347 One Trouble after Another
Fu Zhengzheng and Han Siqi don’t want to disturb those sleeping downstairs, including Chen Qiaolan, so they open the date quietly. When they are about to creep up the stairs, someone rushes to them in the dark suddenly.
Han Siqi drags Fu Zhengzheng behind him immediately and is ready to fight.
“Siqi, it’s me.” The person walks to them quickly and says under his breath.
“Muxian?”
“Hush—let’s talk upstairs.”
Ji Muxian turns around and goes upstairs lightly.
Fu Zhengzheng sighs with relief. Han Siqi pulls her hand, signaling her to go upstairs first. He closes the gate and follows them.
They enter the room. Han Siqi walks behind them and closes the door. They don’t dare to speak in a normal voice until they walk to the inner room.
Fu Zhengzheng tells Ji Muxian what happened in detail.
“10:00 p.m. tomorrow, Glamour Restaurant.” Ji Muxian ponders over these words.
“I have called Yang Tao. He should have begun to make arrangements. But I think it is not so necessary to make arrangements at Glamour Restaurant, is it? It’s in vain tonight. Our rival will definitely change his mind and tell me to go to another place temporarily.”
“No matter whether the arrangement works, we shouldn’t let down our guard anytime.” Han Siqi doesn’t agree with Fu Zhengzheng.
Ji Muxian nods, “Siqi is right. Our rival is very foxy. We have to be cautious in any case. Your meeting tonight is only a prelude.”
Fu Zhengzheng asks immediately, “Well, shall I take the true map tomorrow evening? What if he has really seen the trap map? If I take a fake map again and it’s seen through by him, I’m afraid he won’t trust me anymore.”
Han Siqi echoes, “He may also think you don’t have the true map at all.”
Ji Muxian nods, “Yang Tao may be reporting it to Deputy Chief Miao. He will probably allow you to take the true map. In this case, you will encounter bigger danger tomorrow evening.”
“I’m not scared.”
Han Siqi glances at Fu Zhengzheng who doesn’t seem scared at all and asks Ji Muxian in a deep voice suddenly, “Now that you didn’t follow the minibus, why didn’t you allow Lu Song to follow it? Did you intend to put Zhengzheng into the dangerous situation alone?!”
Fu Zhengzheng looks at Han Siqi confusedly, “Yang Tao said they lost the track of the minibus instead of not following it. Besides, he didn’t prevent Lu Song from following it.”
Ji Muxian explains instantly, “After you went out of the city, the minibus ran on a rugged mountain road. If we followed it without turning on lights, it would be very dangerous. But if we turned on lights, they would be alerted. They even might be vigilant against and suspicious of you. That would be disadvantageous to you, so we didn’t follow you.”
“It turns out you were protecting Zhengzheng.” Han Siqi says with apparent sarcasm.
Fu Zhengzheng pulls Han Siqi, “No matter what they do, it’s reasonable. Stop talking about it.”
No wonder he said suddenly that the police were disappointing. It turns out that he had known it early.
Ignoring her, Han Siqi still says outspokenly, “If the coffer is in a similar place tomorrow evening, you will be unable to follow us again, won’t you? Zhengzheng will be disposed of by others at will, right?”
Looking at his serious younger brother, Ji Muxian isn’t angry. He pats Han Siqi’s shoulder to comfort him, “Your worry is reasonable. We also think the coffer should be located in a mysterious place in the suburbs, so we’re deploying all the police strength. We’re going to wait outside the four main roads leading to the suburbs. We’ll try our best to guarantee complete success.”
“Complete success? Do you think the rival won’t take any actions? Don’t forget how foxy they are.”
“I know, so I come specially to remind you to be cautious and play to the score tactically.” Ji Muxian looks at his watch and then pats Han Siqi’s shoulder again, “I’ve told brother that I need your help tomorrow, so you don’t need to go to the company. Have a good rest. Make yourself energetic to prepare for the meeting tomorrow evening. If it’s finished, you’ll help Zhengzheng render outstanding service.”
Han Siqi wants to say something. But seeing Fu Zhengzheng’s expectant eyes and blood streaks in Ji Muxian’s eyes, he swallows back the words and nods seriously.
“I will bring the true map here tomorrow. I should say I will bring it here today.” Ji Muxian smiles. When walking to the door, he stops his feet and thinks. Then he twists his head and says, “In fact, we moved close to you from another way last night, but we didn’t go to the house. We saw them send you out, so we didn’t let you know. Please remember, our mind won’t be eased if we are far from you anytime.”
Then he goes out and closes the door lightly.
“I have run a bath for you. Go to wash and get some sleep.” Han Siqi nudges Fu Zhengzheng who is still in a daze.
Fu Zhengzheng walks to the bathroom slowly with what Ji Muxian says on her mind. She takes off the coat. Seeing the bracelet around her wrist, she touches it and realizes it soon – the bracelet is equipped with a tracking device!
No wonder Ji Muxian said they wouldn’t be far away from her.
Why didn’t they tell her in advance?
Fu Zhengzheng feel frustrated again – They didn’t tell her in advance because they were afraid that she might expose her tracking device carelessly, weren’t they? Is she so incompetent in their eyes?
After shower, she comes out and tells her speculation to Han Siqi. He picks up the bracelet, looks at it carefully and then comforts her.
“They don’t think you are incompetent. Instead, they don’t want to increase your psychological burden.”
Fu Zhengzheng sighs, “No wonder Yang Tao just said they lost the track of the minibus and didn’t tell me in detail. But what they did is right. The trap map was easily found out to be fake with a trick.”
“OK, darling, don’t think too much.” Han Siqi pushes her to the bed and presses her into it, “It’s my fault because I didn’t remind you in time.”
“How can you be to blame…”
“Then no one is to blame. Now it’s useless to blame anyone. Only with a good sleep can you be energetic to deal with the task tonight.”
After Fu Zhengzheng lies down, Han Siqi goes to wash.
After washing, Han Siqi goes to bed. Fu Zhengzheng hasn’t fallen asleep, so he holds her into his arms.
“Darling, don’t think anything now. have a good sleep. Believe Muxian and Yang Tao. They will arrange for everything. The day will pass by quickly. Believe that everything will go in a favorable direction.”
Fu Zhengzheng nods and embraces him tightly.
They sleep until they are woken up by a call at 1:00 p.m.
Seeing it’s from an unknow number, Fu Zhengzheng becomes awake immediately. She sits up and answers the call.
“Miss Fu, I’ve booked a box in the KTV on the third floor of Glamour Restaurant. The box number is 309. Let’s meet there.”
“OK.”
“Remember to take the true map.”
“I will. You too.”
“Wish we’ll have a happy cooperation again.”
Then he hangs up the phone.
Han Siqi hears the conversation aside. Without saying anything, he gets up and puts on clothes.
After washing, they go downstairs, eat something and then come back to the room again.
Because Fu Zhengzheng’s mind is occupied by the task in the evening, she is in no mood for anything. Seeing her restless, Han Siqi watches TV with her in the afternoon.
After dinner, Ji Muxian brings the true map and repeatedly tells her to be cautious.
At 9:00, Yang Tao calls Fu Zhengzheng, telling her everything has been ready so she can be more composed.
They go out past 9:00 and get to the parking lot of Glamour Restaurant at 9:40.
After parking the car, they check what they take. When they are about to get out of the car, Han Siqi receives Lu Song’s call.
“Mr. Han, someone saw many police cars head for the west of the city with their sirens wailing. It seems that something serious has happened.”
“The west of the city?”
“Yes. I’m not clear about the detail, but I have a bad feeling.”
“Got it. Remember your task and don’t meddle in anything else.”
“I know. I’ll tell them again.” Lu Song hangs up the phone at once.
Han Siqi meets Fu Zhengzheng’s eyes, but he ignores her and calls Muxian. However, the line is busy. Then he calls Yang Tao. To his surprise, the line is busy too. He has a sense of foreboding.
He says to Fu Zhengzheng, “Call He Menghuai.”
“What’s wrong?” Fu Zhengzheng asks Han Siqi while dialing He Menghuai’s number.
“Don’t ask so much. Give me your mobile phone after the call is connected.” Han Siqi says while looking at the watch. It’s already 9:48.
“I’ve got him through.” Fu Zhengzheng passes the mobile phone to Han Siqi.
“This is Han Siqi. What happened in the west of the city?” Han Siqi comes straight to the point.
“Fifteen minutes ago, the 110-command center received a call. In the west of city, Rongsheng Sand Company and local villagers had fierce conflicts. More than ten hundred villagers flocked to the sand-digging plant of Rongsheng with weapons. They prevented the company’s engineering vehicles from hitting the road. Both parties used forces. Some people were wounded. It’s said that the situation is getting worse. Several municipal leaders have gone there. So have the special police and armed police. Many policemen have also been sent from our police office to maintain order.”
Isn’t it clear that the purpose is to disperse the police strength?
Han Siqi hangs up instantly and calls Lu Song with his own phone to give instructions.
The phone says 9:53, and Fu Zhengzheng can’t help feeling anxious.
At this moment, He Menghuai calls her.
Once she answers the call, He Menghuai says in haste, “Zhengzheng, gas leak happened to a community in the east of the city. Many policemen have been sent for emergency rescue. Most of the police strength has been dispersed. Our previous deployments almost perform no function. I think your operation tonight will be very dangerous. I can’t get through to Captain Ji and Captain Yang. They are making efforts possibly, but I guess it’s useless. We can’t see people wounded but do nothing! Zhengzheng, it will be 10:00 soon. What can we do?”
Fu Zhengzheng becomes sweaty in anxiety, “Let me think.”
“Something new seems to have happened. Damn, the bastards are really good at making trouble!” Then He Menghuai hangs up the phone.
It’s already 9:57. Han Siqi is still talking with Lu Song on the phone. Fu Zhengzheng meditates and tries to call Yang Tao and Muxian, but their lines are still busy.
What can she do? The task can’t be cancelled without the instruction. Moreover, she isn’t willing to give up the hard-won opportunity easily. If she cancels the meeting at this moment, the person can guess the reason easily because he isn’t a fool. It’s impossible for them to have another cooperation.
But if they meet him in this way, the danger she and Han Siqi will encounter is self-evident.
Fu Zhengzheng feels her palms sweating. She stares at Han Siqi and hopes he can figure out a perfect solution.
At this moment, her phone rings. She is startled to shiver and almost jumps up.
The phone says 10:00 p.m. The call is from an unknown number!
