Chapter 1213: Xiao Dong, Don’t attack them!

Hong Kong’s land is limited, and the buildings are close to each other. Neon signs hung outside the second floor. It made the streets bustling with life. It is very different from Beijing. Dong Xuebing can still see people walking around now.

Dong Xuebing walked for a few minutes and saw a hotel.

This hotel looks more majestic than the other small hotels along the street. It is more than ten stories.

The hotel’s signature is in English and Mandarin. ‘Yong He Hotel.’

Dong Xuebing looked at the hotel and put on his sunglasses before entering.

The lobby is almost empty at this time. A few customers are chatting in the waiting area, and staff are moving items.

Front desk.

Dong Xuebing walked over. “Hi.”

The staff smiled. “Hi, are you looking for a room?”

Dong Xuebing looked at her. “Yes. Someone had booked a room for me. Zhang Longjuan. She is my cousin. Can you check which room she is staying in?”

The staff replied. “I’m sorry. I cannot reveal our guests’ details.”

Dong Xuebing frowned. “How can I find her? Her phone is switched off.”

The staff hesitated and looked at her monitor screen. “Please wait.” She keyed in something and said to Dong Xuebing. “I can help you call the guest. Is it fine with you?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Sure. Thank you.”

The staff picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. Ring… ring… ring… The phone rang for a while, and she hung up.

“Is anyone answering?”

“Maybe she is sleeping.”

“What should I do? I cannot be waiting here the whole night.”

“Sorry. We cannot do anything to help. I will help you call the guest again later at night.”

Dong Xuebing does not want to waste time. He leaned forward and grabbed the staff’s monitor. He turned it and looked at the guest’s records. Zhang Longjuan, her identification number, and her room number, 2206. It states it is a presidential suite on the twelve floors. It is on the top floor.

“What are you doing?”

“Help! Security! Help!”

Two security guards and a few staff ran over and surrounded Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing ignored them. He found the room number and mumbled ‘BACK ten seconds’ under his breath.

Time returned to ten seconds ago.

The surrounding changed.

The female staff hung up the phone. “Sorry. We cannot do anything to help. I will help you call the guest again later at night.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “It’s fine.”

The staff was surprised. “Huh?”

“I remembered her room number. Thank you.” Dong Xuebing turned and walked towards the elevator.

Dong Xuebing entered the elevator and used MENU to check his remaining time. He had used up all his time when he came back from the US. But he had accumulated a few minutes after a few days.

Fifth story…

Tenth story…

Twelfth story…

Ding… the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.

Dong Xuebing stepped out and walked on the red carpet down the corridor. This floor looks grand, and all the rooms here should be presidential suites. Most people cannot afford to stay here.

2206…

2206…

Found it.

Dong Xuebing looked at a room at the end of the corridor.

Ding dong… Dong Xuebing pressed the doorbell. He knew Zhang Longjuan would not want him to come or implicate him in her affairs. She will not tell him everything if he goes in like this. He decided to understand the situation first. He looked at the CCTV cameras, and he was in a blind spot.

Inside the presidential suite.

Zhang Longjuan sat under a crystal chandelier in the living room. She crossed her legs and looked at two women opposite her. They were in their late twenties, and they looked alike. They had the same hairstyle, hair clip, blouse, skirt, and shoes. They were twins.

The three of them were chatting when the doorbell rang.

The younger of the twins, Shen Xiaomei, pulled up her skirt and stood up. She had drawn her gun and was ready to shoot.

The elder sister, Shen Xiaoyan, rushed beside Zhang Longjuan.

“Are you expecting any visitors, Ms. Zhang?”

“No. I don’t know who is outside.”

“Room service will not come at this time.”

“You two are too nervous. Haha… I will open the door.”

“Stay here, Ms. Zhang. Sis, you will open the door. Be careful.”

The younger sister, Shen Xiaomei, nodded and looked through the peephole. She did not see anyone and opened the door cautiously.

No one is outside.

The corridor is empty.

Shen Xiaomei closed the door and said. “No one is outside.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I think someone had pressed the wrong doorbell.”

The Elder sister said. “We must be careful. Did you forget about the threatening letter?”

Zhang Longjuan swirled the wine and finished the glass. She smiled. “I had faced all sorts of troubles over the years. Do you think I am scared because of a threatening letter? Haha… furthermore, both of you are protecting me. Relax.”

Shen Xiaoyan replied sternly. “Your businesswoman identity is critical for this mission. We need this identity to complete this mission, so the higher-ups sent us to assist you. We will ensure your safety.”

Shen Xiaomei suddenly asked. “Sis, should we ask the higher-ups to send more people?”

Shen Xiaoyan shook her head. “Only the three of us are involved in this top-secret mission. It is a mission given to us directly from the higher-ups. We cannot let too many people know.”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “But what if Ms. Zhang…”

Shen Xiaomei interrupted. “There is no ‘what if.’ You must ensure Ms. Zhang’s safety if anything happens.”

Zhang Longjuan lit a cigarette. “You two are too uptight. Stop being so negative.”

“We must ensure your safety.”

“Haha… it’s late. Should we go to bed?”

“Sis, you will stay in the room with Ms. Zhang, and I will watch outside.”

“Ok. Have a good rest, Ms. Zhang.”

Zhang Longjuan smiled and said. “I am not used to sleeping with women. Haha… although you two are pretty, I am not into this.”

Shen Xiaomei blushed.

Shen Xiaoyan said. “Please watch your words, Ms. Zhang.”

Zhang Longjuan continued. “You two cannot take jokes. All right… all right… You win.” She stood up and yawned. She took a big puff and snubbed her cigarette. “I am taking a shower. It is after 1 am now, and I am sleepy. Do you all want to wash up?”

“No need.”

“No need.”

Both sisters replied at the same time.

Zhang Longjuan laughed and was about to walk to the bathroom.

The bathroom door opened suddenly before she could take a step.

Zhong Longjuan and the twins were shocked.

A young man in big sunglasses walked out and waved to them. “Sorry to bother you all.”

Who is he?

When did he come in?”

How come we did not notice him?

The sisters exchanged looks. The elder sister, Shen Xiaoyann, pulled her handgun under her skirt and pointed at Dong Xuebing. The younger sister, Shen Xiaomei, also took out her gun and ran to the other side to surround this man.

The young man took off his sunglasses and kept it in his pocket.

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Xiao Dong.”

Dong Xuebing used STOP after Shen Xiaomei opened the door and hid in the bathroom. He overheard their conversation and could rough guess the situation.

Dong Xuebing looked at the two guns pointing at him. “Do you all need to do this?”

Shen Xiaomei asked. “When did you come in? Did you hear anything?”

Shen Xiaoyan said. “He should hear everything.”

Click! Shen Xiaomei clocked her gun.

Dong Xuebing’s expression changed, and looked at them.

Zhang Longjuan quickly stopped Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong, they are from the State Security. Don’t attack them.”

Don’t attack us?

Why are you telling him?

The sisters were stunned.

They were holding guns and could kill this man anytime. But Ms. Zhang did not stop them. Instead, she asked that man not to attack them.
