He hardly touched the food, but it was difficult to share the food on his plate with others.
She didn't like waste, and the locals and soldiers were even more thrifty with food, so it would be embarrassing to be seen throwing it away. But the hotel didn’t have a refrigerator and couldn’t put it there.
Ji Bai sat down next to her, saw her frowning slightly, smiled slightly, and reached out to take it: "I'll eat it. It's not good to throw it away."
Xu Xu was startled and looked at him sideways: "You... can eat it?"
Ji Bai glanced at the amount on the plate: "It's okay." After receiving her text message just now, he decisively did not add more rice.
——
Xu Xu knew that the conditions for criminal police to handle cases were sometimes difficult, but most of the time, Ji Bai was a person who was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and was even as picky as she was. Although the food on the plate should be clean, she didn't expect that he would be willing to eat it, so he just took it and ate it naturally.
The sun sets slowly, and the sunlight through the woods fades little by little. The area around the hotel was quiet, with only the occasional sound of soldiers laughing.
Xu Xu looked at Ji Bai beside him. He ate quietly but quickly, taking big mouthfuls of food. His appetite was indeed much bigger than hers. The food on his plate was decreasing at a steady rate. So much food could be stuffed into his iron stomach. The sunlight shone on the place where they were sitting. His angular profile was coated with a layer of light yellow sheen, which made his eyes look even darker. His chin also bulged up and down as he chewed, revealing an honest and straightforward spirit that was not usually there.
Xu Xu thought silently: So manly, really so manly.
Soon Ji Bai finished eating and handed the empty plate to her. Xu Xu picked it up and walked a few steps, then stopped and turned back, lowered his head and leaned forward, gently kissing his warm cheek.
Ji Bai laughed, pulled her into his arms, and said, "There is a pack of cigarettes given by a Burmese official in my room. Take it and give it to the soldiers later."
"Do you think it's necessary?"
Ji Bai looked at her fair and petite face and answered, "It is necessary."
Reciprocate courtesy and treat each other sincerely. In this way, they will take better care of... Ji Bai's little rabbit.
——
In the next few days, Ji Bai and others were tracking, monitoring, and waiting outside almost around the clock. Xu Xu stayed in the hotel as a logistics support. Everyone’s efforts have been very valuable, and the five main bases of the Lugo Group have been preliminarily identified.
In a border city of an underdeveloped country like Maiza, the government has left it alone, and the economy has prospered abnormally by relying entirely on illegal activities such as prostitution, smuggling, etc. The criminal methods used by local Chinese gangs are also varied. In a word, they will do anything as long as they can make money. As long as the task force collects enough evidence, it can justifiably push the Myanmar side to take action and catch them all in one fell swoop.
——
However, the evidence collection work did not go smoothly after it began.
The task force first secretly visited several Chinese businesses that were rumored to have been extorted and robbed by gangs. What is frustrating is that even though their expressions become frightened and unnatural when the gang is mentioned, no matter how much they are persuaded, they refuse to speak, let alone testify.
The investigation and evidence collection work has reached a difficult point and requires another breakthrough.
——
At noon that day, Ji Bai and another criminal policeman disguised themselves as tourists and waited near a supermarket run by a Chinese.
The sun was very hot, and steam was rising from the white concrete road. Ji Bai and the other man were wearing short-sleeved shirts, but underneath they were thick bulletproof vests, and they were sweating profusely from the heat. Two hours later, my clothes looked like they had been soaked in water and were sticking to my body.
Finally, a van suddenly drove over from the corner of the street, braked slammed in front of the supermarket, and the door opened. Seven or eight men holding iron bars jumped out of the car and rushed in with ferocious looks. Soon, the sounds of smashing, screaming and crying were heard, and some people ran out of the supermarket, including tourists and local residents.
Ji Bai picked up the intercom and whispered, "Tisa, your people go in."
Just as he finished speaking, several Kachin soldiers with guns came out from the alley opposite. The young men looked relaxed and walked into the supermarket.
After a while, the gangsters rushed out, got into the car, and drove away.
Ji Bai and his companion walked into the supermarket, which was in a mess. All the shelves were smashed to pieces and all the customers had run away. Several sales clerks were standing timidly behind the cash register. A sturdy man in his thirties, wearing a silk shirt, was sitting on the ground with a bruised face and a very ugly expression - the supermarket's operating income for the day was all taken away, and in addition, high-value goods such as cameras, mobile phones, and Cordyceps were also looted.
——
The victim, a shop owner named Zhou Chengbo, was soon secretly taken to a temporary hotel room by Ji Bai and others.
It was dark outside the window. Zhou Chengbo was sitting in a chair. His wound had been bandaged and his face was ashen. He is a bold and tough person. After the criminals broke in today, he fought with one of them in order to stop them from robbing valuables.
Ji Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou, according to the usual practices of this gang of criminals, you will not only lose money, but you will also be kidnapped by them and your family will be asked for a ransom. You are lucky to have escaped today."
Zhou Chengbo's face suddenly changed. He had actually heard similar rumors that a Chinese businessman had been tortured and was only released after paying a huge ransom.
But rumors are just rumors after all, and the local policy of attracting investment is really too favorable. He thought that wealth and honor must be sought at the risk of danger, so he came to Maiza City to do business. The first few months were indeed peaceful and I made a lot of money. I didn't expect to be targeted today.
In fact, today is also a rather embarrassing situation for the task force - the Chinese police do not have the power to enforce the law, and the local police are not taking action. Only at the critical moment could the Kachin soldiers be allowed to go in and stop them. The military and the gangs have always kept their distance from each other, but they were still a little wary, so they didn't kidnap anyone.
Ji Bai looked at his expression and continued, "They didn't succeed today, but they will definitely come again in the future. Only if you cooperate with us and completely eradicate this scourge, can you continue to make money safely in the future."
Zhou Chengbo pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ji Bai: "I am willing to testify! I have never suffered such a big loss in my life! Officer, you must catch them all!"
Zhou Chengbo was not only willing to testify, he also expressed his willingness to persuade his fellow businessmen to jointly expose the crimes of the Chinese gangs. This made the task force overjoyed. Director Sun instructed: Continue to conduct investigations and collect evidence in secret, and at the same time protect Zhou Chengbo’s life and property, and never let him be harmed by the gang.
——
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Ji Bai sent Zhou Chengbo back to his residence and then returned to the hotel. The night breeze was blowing gently, and the ground was still steaming. He looked up at the soft light from Xu Xu's window, smiled slightly, and returned to his room.
I've been running outside these days, and my clothes have gotten wet and dried several times. When I take them off, there is a layer of white salt stains. Ji Bai threw the smelly clothes into the basin and went to take a shower.
Compared to others, Xu Xu, who stayed in the hotel, had a relatively easy job. I had nothing to do at night, so I sat on the bed and read some information. When I heard the familiar footsteps in the corridor, I knew Ji Bai was back.
Because the weather was so hot, everyone opened the windows and doors for ventilation before going to bed. When Xu Xu knocked on the door and walked into Ji Bai's room, carrying a plate of fruit, she saw him wearing a T-shirt and shorts, sitting in front of a large basin washing clothes, looking like an ordinary family man.
The hotel conditions were simple, with only one old-fashioned washing machine, which was not used at all. Xu Xu thought it was unhygienic and never used it. The same is true for Ji Bai.
Xu Xu walked over to him and squatted down. Ji Bai raised his head and kissed her before continuing to work. Xu Xu squatted there without moving, feeding him pieces of fruit one by one. After he finished eating, she fed him some water, wiped his mouth, then clapped her hands and went back to bed to read.
The night was very quiet. Outside the window came the sounds of frogs croaking in the farmland, insects buzzing in the woods, and Ji Bai washing clothes. Xu Xu read the book for a while and couldn't help but put it down and looked at the clothes in the basin: "Is this how you wash them?"
Ji Bai glanced at her: "Any opinions?"
In fact, Ji Bai's laundry is quite clean and thorough among men. But he is a man after all, so his movements are bound to be exaggerated, which is not acceptable in the eyes of someone like Xu Xu who strives for perfection.
"Move aside, I'll do it." Xu Xu jumped off the bed and walked over.
Ji Bai stopped her hand and said, "No, stay aside."
Xu Xu was puzzled: "Why?"
Ji Bai looked at her and didn't answer.
Yeah, why? When I was in the police academy, I was a little envious of other boys who had girlfriends to help them with laundry. I wonder if one day I will be able to find a girl like this who will willingly let me wear clothes washed by her own hands?
But now that she really has this, she is reluctant to use her.
A smile appeared in Ji Bai's eyes: "Are you free? Go get me some mosquito repellent."
"oh."
——
The mosquito repellent in Xu Xu's room had run out, so he went downstairs to ask the hotel owner for another bottle. When I returned to Ji Bai's room, the clothes were already hanging out on the balcony, facing the wind. Ji Bai had just walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wearing only a pair of beach shorts.
It was the first time that Xu Xu saw his naked upper body. He was slightly startled and his eyes immediately moved downwards.
Ji Bai smiled, walked over, pulled her to sit on the bed, and turned his back to her: "Apply it."
"oh."
He had gotten a little tanned these days, and his neck was noticeably darker than his back. His back was broad and strong, while his waist seemed narrow and powerful. There was a thin, dark red scar on his right shoulder, and he looked quite old. Because she was so close, she could even smell a little bit of heat coming from the man's muscles, which made her face secretly hot. She immediately scooped out a small piece of ointment and applied it evenly.
Ji Bai was facing the balcony, his eyes gazing at the dark night outside the window. Xu Xu's movements were very gentle. Her cold and soft fingers brushed across his skin, making all the pores on his body seem to open up...
The night was getting darker and darker, and the small building was quiet inside and outside. Ji Bai pressed Xu Xu on the bed, kissing her deeply and entangledly, while one of his big hands pressed on her chest and rubbed it gently. The only sound in the air was the slightly hot breathing of the two people.
Xu Xu was wearing a knee-length home skirt, which was very cool, but the style was conservative, so she wore it when she left the room. Ji Bai freed up one hand and slid it to the hem of her skirt - should he reach in, or reach in, or reach in...
As soon as the big hand touched one of her knees, she was kicked. Ji Bai laughed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Ji Bai raised his head and stopped moving, while Xu Xu also looked at the door.
There was a knock on the door. It was the voice of team leader Sun Pu: "Xiao Ji, open the door. I have something to discuss with you."
——
Sun Pu had just received a call from home with some new clues. On a whim, he wanted to communicate with his most capable team member first. After standing at the door for a few seconds, Ji Bai came to open it.
The two of them sat down on the sofa. The mosquito net on Ji Bai's bed was lowered, the thin quilt was rolled up into a ball, and there was a pile of clothes thrown on it, making it a mess.
Sun Pu understood - Ji Bai must have been asleep and was woken up by him. But work was more important, so he didn't care and started chatting with Ji Bai.
——
Sun Pu stayed for about ten minutes and then left. As soon as Ji Bai closed the door and turned around, he saw Xu Xu's little head popping out from under the quilt and letting out a long breath. Although both of them know their limits and will not let their relationship affect their work, others may not think so. There was no need for them to tell the task force about this.
Ji Bai's smile deepened. He sat on the bed and hugged her and the quilt together in his arms: "Continue?"
Xu Xu pushed him away: "It's almost ten o'clock, I'm going home." After saying that, she pushed him away, pulled back the quilt, and crawled under the bed.
Ji Bai had no intention of keeping her, after all, he had work to do tomorrow. Who knew that when he raised his eyes, he saw her waist and hips facing him. Perhaps because she was curled up in the quilt, the hem of her beige skirt was lifted up and rested on her waist. The entire white and slender thigh is exposed, the lines are incredibly soft and smooth, just like jade. Further up, there was a pair of wine-red panties, which just outlined and wrapped the snow-white buttocks. The buttocks were small and perky, and he could hold them with both hands...
His throat felt a little dry for a moment, and he subconsciously reached out and held her ankle.
Xu Xu was stopped from getting out of bed, and was a little surprised. Just as she was about to ask him to let go, she suddenly felt... her butt and thighs were a little cold... She reacted immediately and pulled up her skirt to cover it, and even patted it to make sure it was safe.
When she looked back, Ji Bai had already let her go. He looked calm and composed. He looked at her with deep eyes without saying a word.
Xu Xu's face gradually became hot, and he immediately jumped out of bed and said goodbye: "I'm leaving. Goodbye." His voice was muffled.
Xu Xu returned to the room, lay down for a while, took out his phone and searched on Baidu: "First time sex~~~~~~Things to pay attention to".
After watching for a while, I finally calmed down.
It's too early to be alarmed - go to bed!
——
Xu Xu decided to try not to go to Ji Bai's room at night in the future. Now they were both on business trips, and if they did something out of line, she would feel it was inappropriate, and Ji Bai should think so too.
However, in the next few days, the two had basically no time to be alone together - as the evidence gradually became abundant, the task force finally began to prepare for the final round of arrests. Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have enough time to sleep every day, and the two of them didn't think about anything other than work.
After more than ten days of hard work, Sun Pu took two criminal police officers to another nearby city to meet with Myanmar officials to determine the final arrest date and action plan. Ji Bai, Xu Xu and seven others were temporarily left behind in Maiza City. Their main job is to closely monitor multiple criminal suspects and protect key witnesses such as Zhou Chengbo.
——
As soon as it was daybreak, Ji Bai arrived at Zhou Chengbo's supermarket and took over the shift from a criminal police officer on night duty.
Zhou Chengbo lives in the office behind the supermarket and has just gotten up. Over this period of time, he and Ji Bai have become very familiar with each other. He threw a pack of cigarettes over and said, "Taiwanese cigarettes, not bad, strong enough."
Ji Bai took it, sniffed it deeply, and returned it to him: "It's good. Thank you, I'll quit."
Zhou Chengbo laughed: "I see they all smoke. Are there any criminal police who don't smoke? Why, your wife won't let you?"
Ji Bai's mind flashed with Xu Xu's quiet profile. His heart softened and he smiled quietly without saying a word.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Chengbo nodded: "My guess is that my wife likes to control me, too."
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door outside: "Boss, package."
It was a dark-skinned young man wearing a postal uniform. He held a square package in both hands and placed it carefully on the counter.
Zhou Chengbo took out a pen to sign for it, muttering, "You're here early! Yangon? Oh, yes, it's my uncle..."
The deliveryman was silent, took the receipt, turned around and walked away. Ji Bai stood up and stared at his back in silence. At this time, Zhou Chengbo opened the package and asked, "Officer Ji, what does your wife do for a living?"
——
The rest of the task force was out today, leaving only Xu Xu in the hotel, busy sorting out evidence.
When the explosion sounded, she was looking out the window thinking about the case. She heard the roar and looked up, and saw a cluster of thick black flames burning in the city in the distance.
The location was very familiar, it was near Zhou Chengbo’s supermarket.
Xu Xu took out his cell phone and dialed Ji Bai's number once, twice, three times... no connection.
She ran downstairs. Just as he reached the door of the building, he stopped again, turned around and ran towards Tissa's room.
Tissa stayed in the hotel to rest today. When Xu Xu walked in, he had just hung up the receiver of the room's landline phone. He had already received the news, so his face was extremely grim. He said to Xu Xu in awkward Chinese: "Zhou... Ji... Explode!"
☆、42
The situation was urgent, so Tisa drove a military truck, took Xu Xu and more than 20 soldiers, and rushed there quickly.
It was already bright, and the morning light illuminated the entire street. In the distance, you can see the smoke and the shadows of people. Many windows along the street were wide open and residents were looking out.
By the time we got to the supermarket, the fire was almost out. The once clean, white and spacious shops are now grey, black, damaged, filled with smoke and dust, with the floor littered with dumped goods and broken glass.
——
There was still no cell phone signal - there had been explosions controlled by cell phone signals in the past, so as soon as the explosion occurred this time, the military cut off the communication network to prevent it from happening again. It is unknown when the signal will be restored.
Other detectives did not show up either - they all had surveillance missions today and could not get away at any time, so perhaps they would not act rashly. In addition, due to the communication problem, it will take time to get in touch.
Xu Xu and Tissa can only rely on themselves for the time being.
Tissa called a group of soldiers, whispered a few words to them, and patted each of them on the shoulder. The soldiers nodded, turned around and rushed into the supermarket. When the crowd of onlookers saw this, the discussion became even more heated.
Xu Xu stood alone in the middle of the road. A dozen meters in front of her was a messy supermarket, behind her was a noisy crowd, and on the side there was a crossroads with cars coming and going... All the complicated images and sounds seemed to flood into her mind at the same time.
The first thing she noticed was Ji Bai's car parked on the road opposite the supermarket. This made her heart skip a beat, and she immediately took a deep breath, calmed herself, and continued searching.
There was no blood or other suspicious signs around the supermarket. She went around to the back alley again and was slightly startled - the back door of the supermarket was half open, and there were bloodstains on the ground and walls - a fight had taken place here.
When Xu Xu returned to the street, the soldiers had already thoroughly searched the entire supermarket - there was no one inside, and there were no injured or dead bodies. This made Xu Xu and Tisa feel a little relieved, but they were still worried.
The soldiers began questioning passers-by to see if they could find any witnesses.
——
The supermarket is located in a densely populated downtown area, so clues were soon found.
When the explosion occurred, a cleaner was cleaning near the back alley of the supermarket. He said: "I saw a fight in the alley. Seven or eight people, holding iron bars, beating two men."
This confirmed Xu Xu's speculation. She took out her cell phone, found Ji Bai's photo, and then took out Zhou Chengbo's photo from the file bag and showed it to him.
"Yes, they were the ones who were beaten. They were covered in bruises. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I went to sweep the street across the street. After a while, I heard an explosion. I looked over here and saw those guys with iron bars dragging two bloody people into a van."
——
The cleaner memorized the license plate number. Soon, soldiers found the van in the back alley of a casino two streets away.
Tisa and Xu Xu were sitting in a small car on the street. Through the telescope, they saw two burly men guarding the back door of the casino. There were faint traces of blood on the door of the van and on the ground.
This casino is also one of the main bases of the Lu Ge Group.
Tisha looked at Xu Xu and said, "My people cannot go in. We can only wait for your people to come."
Gambling is legal in the city of Maija. In order to attract investment to the greatest extent possible and eliminate investors' doubts, the commander-in-chief promised the Chamber of Commerce that Kachin soldiers would never set foot in a casino unless ordered to do so. But now, the formal arrest order has not been issued, so Tissa cannot go in.
The sun was already very bright, and the gray concrete floor seemed to be emitting a hint of heat. Xu Xu looked at the entrance of the casino, where many people were coming in and out. The loud music and flashing neon lights exuded a kind of impetuous prosperity in broad daylight.
"It can't wait. I'll go in and find him."
I really can't wait.
The cleaner didn't see the faces of the two people who were dragged away. It might not be Ji Bai, but it could also be him.
Xu Xu was almost certain that Ji Bai had dodged the bullet, and seven or eight thugs would not be his match.
However, today he has Zhou Chengbo to protect. And he didn't have a gun - this was not the mainland, and almost every core member of the gangs here had a gun.
If a big boss like Lu Ge showed up today, Xu Xu would not go in. Because Brother Lu would never touch a policeman easily.
But it was those minions. They are arrogant and presumptuous, mentally immature, and more likely to commit stupid and brutal crimes.
Waiting for reinforcements might only take a dozen minutes, but the price might be that Ji Bai would be tortured, or even his life - how could she let this happen?
Under the shocked gazes of Tisa and the soldiers, Xu Xu took out a hat and sunglasses from his bag, put them on, took a sip of water, pushed open the car door, and walked into the casino gate guarded by several thugs without looking back.
——
Xu Xu's guess was correct, Ji Bai did avoid the bullet.
When Zhou Chengbo was about to open the package, Ji Bai stopped him: "Don't touch it."
Zhou Chengbo looked at his solemn expression and understood. But for him, such a thing as a zha~~ bullet only happened in TV dramas. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "No way... What should I do? Throw it out?"
Ji Bai shook his head: "Don't touch it." He glanced at the postman who was walking out of the supermarket and whispered: "Go through the back door."
——
When he slowly pushed open the quiet iron-gray door, Ji Bai asked Zhou Chengbo to stand behind him while he stood sideways at the door. As expected, as the door opened, a black iron rod came down from the sky. Ji Bai was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the man's arm and twisted it with his backhand with a "snap". The man screamed in pain. Ji Bai grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall. His head was bleeding and he passed out.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ji Bai was ruthless. Another person swung a knife at him from behind, but was knocked down in an instant.
Zhou Chengbo shouted: "Go to my car!"
"No!" How do you know that the package is not a cover, and the real bomb may be waiting in their car? Ji Bai looked around and said in a low voice: "Follow me! Run!"
Just as the two ran a few steps, they saw seven or eight big men standing at the entrance of the alley, holding iron bars and machetes. Probably because they didn't expect the two to run out so quickly, those people were all stunned. The leader immediately reached out and pulled out a gun from his waist... Ji Baijun's face was tense, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted: "Police!" His voice was so deep and fierce that everyone's heart was shocked.
The man was so shocked that his hand paused. In this moment of distraction, Ji Bai had already rushed forward, grabbed his wrist, snatched the gun with his bare hands, and kicked him on the kneecap.
When the others saw this, they all threw their weapons at Ji Bai, and Ji Bai was immediately covered in wounds. Zhou Chengbo, who was standing behind him, was so excited by this scene that he grabbed a big man and started fighting with him.
——
What Xu Xu didn't expect, and what the cleaner didn't see either, was that Ji Bai and Zhou Chengbo eventually fought off the gang and escaped from the alley. The two gangsters who were injured by the bomb and finally dragged away by their companions were the two gangsters who were knocked down by Ji Bai at the back door.
Ji Bai took Zhou Chengbo and ran two blocks before taking a taxi and heading straight to the hotel where the task force was staying. Only then did Ji Bai realize that Xu Xu and Tisa had gone out to look for him.
When he found the street where the casino was located, the other two detectives had just arrived, and Tisa looked at him with an unpleasant expression: "Ji, Xu insisted on going in to find you. It's been ten minutes..."
——
Xu Xu walked into the casino and went to the counter to exchange a bunch of chips. When the counter manager saw that she was a little girl, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. Xu Xu smiled and waved her phone: "No signal. My mom will be here soon. Can you bring her in to see me? She's wearing a white top, a red skirt, and carrying an LV bag. She's easy to spot."
The manager smiled immediately: "No problem."
Xu Xu first played a few rounds of dice, then his eyes fell on a young security guard around the stage. The other security guards all had fierce looks, with lazy, indifferent or expressionless eyes. He was the only one who always had a smile on his face, looked very energetic, and wore a brand new security uniform.
"Brother, can you buy me a bottle of black tea?" Xu Xu handed him a chip. The stakes were one hundred yuan, and the security guard thought she was a wealthy girl with great generosity, so of course he was happy to do it.
After buying the water quickly, Xu Xu stopped gambling and sat down to rest. He asked him again: "Are you from Shandong? We are from the same hometown."
The man was surprised when he heard her accent.
After a while, Xu Xu said, "Brother Zhi, where is the bathroom?"
Azhi said, "I'll take you there."
Xu Xu thought for a moment and said, "No. My mother will be here soon, you can ask her to wait for me here. Your manager knows her." After saying that, she waved to the manager behind the counter. The manager saw it and also waved back at the girl with a smile.
Azhi thought that you knew the manager, nodded, and gave her the direction. After a while, he told the security guard next to him: "This is my fellow villager, a friend of the manager."
Xu Xu stayed in the restroom for a while, then pushed the door open and went out. Instead of returning to the business hall, he turned into the office area at the back.
She dared to come in alone, not without purpose.
First, she looked young and would not easily attract attention; second, she was in charge of logistics these days and had memorized the floor plans of every casino by heart. There is usually a "reception room" at the back of the casino to deal with customers who cannot pay off their gambling debts. If Ji Bai was caught, he would most likely be locked up there.
If she could find him, she could save him.
——
A thug was guarding the corridor leading to the "reception room". He frowned when he saw her and stopped her: "You can't pass this way."
Xu Xu paused for a moment, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm here to pay off my gambling debts. I just asked a man named Azhi at the door, but he said he didn't know and asked me to come in to see the boss."
The thug was stunned: "Whose gambling debt is it?"
Xu Xu replied: "My brother's name is Chen Yang. I received a call a few days ago, saying that he owed 'Da Fu Hua' 200,000 yuan, so I came here to give the money..." After saying that, he took out a bank card from his pocket.
The thug was stunned again. 'Da Fu Hua' is the name of another casino, a few streets away, which is called 'Da Fu Hao'. The names of casinos are all for good luck, and there are such names as Fuhua, Fuhao and Fule in Maizhany. He thought the little girl must have heard the casino name wrongly. 200,000...
The thug took her to a small office and poured her a cup of tea: "Wait here, I'll go find the boss."
As soon as his figure disappeared on the stairs at the end of the corridor, Xu Xu quietly pushed the door open and followed him. The corridor was very quiet. She spotted two drops of blood on the wall and her heart trembled.
Finally, we arrived at the door of the "reception room". The door was ajar, and we could faintly hear a man cursing and groaning.
Xu Xu took a deep breath and pushed the door open with all his strength.
The door was wide open, and Xu Xu and the men standing inside looked at each other in bewilderment.
She quickly glanced at the two bloody strangers lying on the bed.
"Uh...Uncle, where is the toilet? Azhi said it's over here."
Several men stared at her in silence, and one of them raised his hand and pointed to the other end of the corridor.
"Thank you!" Xu Xu closed the door for them with an embarrassed look on his face, turned around, and walked out quickly.
Great, it’s not Ji Bai. Not Ji Bai.
The heavy stone pressing on her heart suddenly fell, and a warm current seemed to flow through her whole body.
I was about to reach the end of the corridor. Just one turn would take me to the business hall, when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps and shouts from behind: "Hey! Don't go!"
Xu Xu froze in his tracks and turned back.
It was the thug who had gone to inform the boss before. He looked at Xu Xu suspiciously: "Where are you going? The boss told you to go up."
Xu Xu looked at him and said timidly, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I just saw in your office that you are 'Da Fuhao'. My cell phone had no signal, so I used your landline and called Da Fuhua. They said they would send a car to pick me up right away. Sorry to bother you, thank you."
The thug was stunned again - the boss meant to collect the money first, so who would recognize each other later? But this girl actually called Dafuhua, which was owned by another gang. Now they want to come over to pick someone up. They don't interfere with each other, so how can they swallow the money...
While he was stunned, Xu Xu bowed to him again in gratitude. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw the door of the reception room opened and several men walked out.
Hearing the men and the thugs talking in low voices, Xu Xu quickened his pace.
"Wait! What's wrong with you?" someone shouted.
Xu Xu's back broke out in cold sweat, and his legs felt a little stiff.
She had already walked to the corner. There was no light here and the light was dim. The door leading to the business hall was closed and noisy voices could be faintly heard from the other end. It’s so close yet it feels like there’s clouds, mountains and seas between us.
Should I run away or continue to lie?
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and firmly grasped her wrist. A tall figure emerged from the shadows. Ji Bai's handsome face was ashen and tense, his dark eyes were like thick ink that could not be dissolved. He looked at her deeply, took her hand and turned away.
Xu Xu's mind was confused, and he let him lead him forward. The hands that were originally a little cold seemed to become hot in his warm and powerful palms. Those vicious criminals behind him suddenly became not worth mentioning and not worth worrying about. She relaxed completely.
In the bright and dim light and shadow, his profile was firm and silent, his figure was as tall as a mountain, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on her heart. An indescribable throbbing slowly spread in her heart and spread to her torso, limbs and blood vessels. And her heart was beating wildly.
Several men in the corridor had fought with Ji Bai before, and they were all surprised to see him. Someone cursed "fuck" and wanted to rush over,
Ji Bai turned back coldly and looked at them with great contempt.
As if they were forced by his momentum, or perhaps because they were beaten too badly during the day, those people froze for a moment and no one stepped forward.
Ji Bai held Xu Xu's hand and walked and walked, neither of them spoke. After walking through the corridor and exiting the back door of the casino, their clasped hands were already covered in sweat.
☆、43
The city of "Mina" is located east of the city of Mai Zha and is the capital of Kachin State. Different from the nouveau riche prosperity of small cities, Mina is a real metropolis with tall buildings and many companies. It is also a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy.
When the news of the explosion came, Lu Ge was having a SPA in a spa.
The subordinate standing by saw her sudden change of expression and waved his hand to let the beautician go out first. Lu Geguang sat up with his naked white body covered with old wounds, holding his cell phone and said coldly: "It exploded, why haven't people died yet?"
The subordinate on the other end paused and replied: "There is a Chinese policeman with Zhou Chengbo. He is very good at fighting. He just ran to the casino to cause trouble..."
Lu Ge was slightly startled. She suddenly remembered a piece of news she had heard a few days ago - a group of Chinese police officials had visited Yangon to meet with the Myanmar side. But since the beginning of the year, China and Myanmar have been holding frequent meetings and implementing some cooperation initiatives on cross-border crime issues, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
In order to avoid the limelight temporarily, this female boss whose power spans two countries has stayed indoors recently and left her business to her subordinates to take care of. She will not be involved in every detail like before. She has experienced how powerful and covert the Chinese police's investigative methods are. Her subordinates might not have realized it yet, but when she connected the two things, she broke out in a cold sweat.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "The venue will continue to operate, and the backbone personnel will withdraw immediately! Wait for my notice when you can return to Mai Zha."

Maiza city.
When Ji Bai and Xu Xu walked out of the back door of the casino, seven or eight thugs with weapons followed them a few steps behind them.

However, when they went out the back door, they were dumbfounded - the thugs who were originally responsible for guarding the door were lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses, and they were replaced by two men who looked as fierce as Ji Bai. Behind them stood several fully armed Kachin soldiers.
Kachin soldiers will never enter a casino, but if they leave the casino and get into a conflict with stragglers, they may die.

Ji Bai held Xu Xu's hand tightly and never let go. After passing the Kachin soldiers and walking out of the alley, we finally arrived at the busy street.
Xu Xu's mood had completely calmed down, and he looked up at Ji Bai with a relieved smile. I tried to pull my hand back, but it was held tighter with even greater force.
His face was still tense, looking a little scary, and his dark eyes were as dark as iron...
The look was so intimidating that she couldn't look away.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yalin ran over from a distance.
Ji Bai stared at Xu Xu: "It's okay." He held her hand tightly, then released it.
He and Chen Yalin walked forward whispering, ignoring Xu Xu. Xu Xu looked at his tall and straight back. The throbbing feeling in his heart when he first saw him in the casino came up silently again, and he even felt a slight pain in his chest.
