Chen Dong and Wolong got into a Hongqi sedan.
The same guard drove them back to the hotel.
On the way, Wolong noticed that Chen Dong always had a smile on his face and was humming a little tune, so he asked him what made him happy.
Chen Dong then gave him a general account of his conversation with Old Lin.
He further explained that this meant they had accomplished most of their purpose in coming to Yanjing, and the subway project was almost settled.
"You mean, we can leave now?" Wolong suddenly seemed a little happy.
"What, are you in a hurry to go back?" Chen Dong asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wolong's lips twitched slightly, indicating that he had finished laughing, but soon his expression turned gloomy.
"No, it's just that I'm getting a little tired of staying here all the time. It feels like I can't do anything freely here, and there are all sorts of rules controlling me."
"Really? I thought you were adapting well to this environment..." Chen Dong said with some curiosity.
Wolong sighed, "I don't know what's going on. After arriving in Hong Kong, I could do whatever I wanted, but here, it seems like there's always someone watching me."
"Could it be your imagination?"
"Probably not! I felt it very clearly at Old Lin's house. There were always a few eyes on me, which made me even want to spar with them."
"However, after leaving the old Lin's house for a while, I felt much better. My vision became faint, and now, there are only one or two pairs of eyes watching me."
Chen Dong understood a little. This was what was called a master's senses, or simply a master's intuition.
"Are there any other places like this? Like the hotel we're staying at?"
"I also sense it near the hotel, and I can feel it when I go out." Without thinking much, Wolong immediately shared his feelings.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, what you experienced at Old Master Lin's house should be the ultimate bodyguard."
Ultimate bodyguards, as the name suggests, are a group of people who specialize in protecting heads of state.
These people are all top performers in the military, but the only difference between them and the elite soldiers is that their strength lies in protection, not offense.
At that time, the number of cars in Yanjing was not particularly large, so there were basically no traffic jams on the roads.
This is completely unimaginable in later generations.
Wolong drove the car smoothly and steadily, and Chen Dong, sitting inside, felt no bumps at all.
Before long, before Chen Dong and Wolong had come up with anything more to discuss, they arrived at the entrance of their hotel.
Back in the room.
Chen Dong went straight into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water filled the bathroom.
As the warm water washed over his body, it swept away his fatigue, and Chen Dong instantly felt refreshed.
With a clear mind, he was thinking about what gift he should give to Old Lin for his birthday.
It needs to be unique, but not too expensive; that's really a difficult task.
Where can I find fun and inexpensive gadgets?
You could look for antiques or calligraphy and paintings.
Panjiayuan?
Chen Dong immediately thought of that place, but nowadays, there are very few genuine items in Panjiayuan; most of them are just fakes.
It might fool people who don't know much about this, but if you actually bought it and gave it to an old man, it would probably be a laughing stock.
No matter how much it costs, I have to buy the real thing. Chen Dong thought to himself.
Fortunately, it's only 1993, so even if it's genuine, it won't cost much.
The only thing that troubled Chen Dong was that he himself did not understand this knowledge.
It seems we need to find someone who understands this.
"Wolong, come with me to the courtyard house later."
As Chen Dong emerged from the bathroom, he called out.
"Okay, boss."
Wolong nodded, indicating that he understood.
The reason Chen Dong wanted to go to the courtyard house first was because he had mentioned it to Jiang Fei when he asked Jiang Fei to buy a house.
If you come across a nice vintage item, don't ask him anything, just buy it.
Two years have passed, and it's still unknown whether Jiang Fei actually did what he said he would do.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Chen Dong decided to go and take a look at the courtyard house first.
......
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still radiating endless heat.
Wolong and Tiger set off in separate cars from the Longteng Hotel, one after the other, towards the courtyard.
Most of the cars at the Longteng Hotel are imported commercial vehicles, which look high-end and sophisticated, highlighting the hotel's class.
These are assets that Jiang Fei purchased after consulting with Chen Dong.
Whether used for personal driving, picking up and dropping off passengers, or renting out these cars, it's a good business opportunity.
Chen Dong was pleased that Jiang Fei had learned a lot from his business philosophy.
While driving, Wolong discussed with Chen Dong the gaze he had received from Elder Lin.
Chen Dong also shared the answer he had just come up with.
Wolong slapped the steering wheel. "That's quite possible. I knew it. Back in the army, some comrades would suddenly disappear. And what they had in common was their sensitivity to danger."
It was only then that he realized that these so-called missing comrades-in-arms were very likely sent here specifically to carry out protection missions.
Suddenly, Wolong was startled again, "Something's not right!"
Chen Dong: "What's wrong?"
“I have a feeling when I’m with Elder Lin, when I’m at the hotel, and sometimes when I’m outside. It can’t all be security personnel, right?”
A sudden thought flashed through Chen Dong's mind, like a lightning bolt piercing the chaotic world: "There might really be someone watching us!"
