Chapter 72 Tracking
"Number 21, braised spareribs, serve!"
When Suning heard his number being called, he stood up and went to the window to bring the food back to the table. He casually put the food into his mouth while keeping an eye on the time and looking towards the restaurant entrance frequently.
It was almost past dinner time when Tong Tai hurriedly came in from outside, sweating profusely.
"Hello comrade, are there any braised spareribs available today?"
"It's Director Tong. You came late today. All that's left is the stir-fried cabbage hearts!"
Hearing this, Tong Tai smiled bitterly and turned around, his face and eyes showing a look of how to explain to his son.
The chef behind him also made a timely sigh, expressing the pity for all the parents in the world: it is getting harder to take care of the children at home with each generation.
After quickly finishing the last bite of his meal, Suning confirmed that the person coming was Director Tong, who was in charge of external negotiations at the Sixth Factory. His eyes lit up and he quickly followed him out of the state-owned restaurant.
I wanted to take the opportunity to step forward and state my identity and purpose, and sincerely state my demands, hoping that he would give Gu City Textile Factory a chance to purchase goods in bulk, even if the quantity is small as long as the goods are available.
Things went against my expectations. When I followed him out, I found that there was something wrong with Director Tong Tai.
Who would go home so furtively, hiding in deserted alleys for fear of being seen by acquaintances?
Moreover, he was extremely fast and alert. Fortunately, there was space so she could hide her figure perfectly. However, she almost caught up with him several times when she turned a corner.
The more I followed, the more I felt that the direction of this matter was far different from what I had imagined.
Until Tong Tai stopped, Su Ning held her breath and hid behind the wall not far away, not daring to breathe: She seemed to have discovered a secret by accident?
The one who is one of the top ten good men mentioned by the doorman is actually hiding a mistress in his mansion and keeping a woman outside?
wrong!
Thinking back to their encounter just now, neither their expressions nor their body language expressed the intimacy and eagerness that lovers would show when they meet.
What…is going on?
She just wanted to stop someone and try to complete her task. She didn't want to go off the beaten track and dig up other people's secrets.
She shook her head and leaned back against the wall. Before she could figure out whether she should report this kind of work style problem, things suddenly took a sharp turn.
"Little comrade, what are you doing here?"
"Huh~"
The person who had already entered the courtyard suddenly appeared in front of her and asked, which scared her so much that she gasped.
From the moment he entered the alley until he entered the door, he was vaguely aware that there seemed to be a line of sight in the dark, but no matter how hard he tried to shake it off, he couldn't get rid of it? With his strong anti-reconnaissance ability, he still couldn't catch any trace of it.
Out of caution, I turned quietly through the back door and found that there was really someone hiding there.
What surprised Tong Tai was that the other person turned out to be a pretty young girl, and she looked so unfamiliar that he had no impression of her at all.
Could the little girl in front of him have such a strong ability? She could follow him all the way and prevent him from finding her?
There was a dangerous cold light in his eyes. Looking at the person who was frightened and then quickly regained his composure, Tong Tai pulled the corner of his mouth with a half-smile and continued to test.
"You know me? Followed me here?"
"Hello, Director Tong. I'm sorry to meet you in this way."
Suning, who keenly sensed danger, remained calm, but his mind was already racing.
Denial is more inappropriate than admission at this time. Direct admission can provide a coherent explanation, after all, her identity is not in question and her intentions can be verified.
But in this way, she accidentally stumbled upon this secret...
His heart tightened but his expression became more calm.
"Oh? Which textile factory are you a buyer for?"
"Yes, I'm from Gushi Textile Factory, and I'm here for a blended fabric mission. Unfortunately, you were busy today and I didn't see you, so I..."
As expected, Tong Tai understood what she said after a few seconds. His expression was visibly relaxed, but he was still vigilant inside.
He is of medium height, about 1.7 meters, in his early forties, and has gained some weight, with a slightly protruding belly.
His facial features appear to be very ordinary to most people, but the mole at the corner of his mouth is very recognizable.
While answering, she had already sized the man up. In her heart, Su Ning was secretly calculating whether she would have a chance of winning if she took out a weapon for self-defense when the man was not prepared.
"Since it's for the mission..."
Looking at the watch on his wrist, Tong Tai put on a businesslike smile and said, "While we still have time, let's go inside and talk."
What is a dilemma?
Right now!
"Director Tong, if it's convenient for you, can you please make an appointment tomorrow?"
Su Ning raised his eyes with a little annoyance and looked at him apologetically, "Just now it seemed that I was in a hurry to catch up, and I didn't tell my brother who was traveling with me. Now he might be anxious to look for me everywhere, so what do you think?"
"Haha, little comrade, can you accomplish your mission like this?"
Tong Tai smiled and shook his head, blocking her way back without leaving any trace. "The people you will meet tomorrow have been arranged in advance. I am giving you this opportunity because I see that you have a sincere attitude towards work. You must seize it..."
"Bang--"
Su Ning felt a dull pain at the back of his head and cursed secretly as he slowly fell to the ground. In his sight was a blurry and cruel face of a woman.
A warm feeling seeped into the back of her neck, and she immediately fell into endless darkness.
"You're so hesitant. You can't even handle a little girl. Tong Tai, I think you're really going backwards as time goes by!"
"What do you know!"
Seeing the ground where the person fell was stained with a large patch of bright red blood, Tong Tai immediately squatted down and put his hand into her nose. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that there was still breath.
He turned his head to look at the woman holding the iron rod with a look of disdain on her face, and the anger in his heart began to rise.
The problem could be solved better and more simply, but they had to give him more things to do. Why did the organization assign such a stupid woman to him!
"She has someone else with her..."
"I'm not deaf!"
Hua Qiao waved the iron stick in his hand nonchalantly and curled his lips. Why did he have to use his brain to show off his intelligence when the problem could be solved by force?
I didn't have time to say it, and even if that brother really came...
He touched the thing tucked into his clothes around his waist and said: Just shoot him!
This contact point is going to be abandoned anyway, and the instructions for this mission are to evacuate everyone. Wouldn't it be better to just crush these unknown little bugs to death?
"I'll carry the person in, and you take care of this."
Hua Qiao bent down and carried the person onto her shoulders effortlessly, then walked back to the yard first with a relaxed pace.
Tong Tai, who was left standing there staring at the bloodstains on the ground, almost gritted his teeth: What an idiot with strong limbs but no face and no brains!
I must not let him have any peace before I leave!
Breathe in and out forcefully, exhale and inhale again, calm down quickly, clean up the scene, and prepare to evacuate people immediately.
It was only a matter of time before this contact point was exposed, but letting her expose it so early would increase the risk.
Cursing inwardly, Tong Tai wondered where else he could be safer.
I have to go back and check if this little girl who suddenly appeared is involved in anything.
…
"Hmm~"
The pain in the back of his head made Su Ning, who had not yet fully recovered, groan.
"Girl, are you awake?"
The dim room had yellow walls with mold on all sides. There was nothing around except a pile of straw in the corner...a bed?
There was a person lying on his back, his life or death unknown, and the one asking the question was one of the two people leaning against the wall.
Recalling the scene before she fainted, she slowly reached her hand to the back of her head. The large amount of sticky substance made her realize that the dizziness was definitely caused by excessive blood loss.
"There's nothing here to stop the bleeding. I can only use a folk method to peel off some spider web dust from the wall and apply it to your wound. Don't touch the wound yet. It's hard to stop the bleeding."
"Thanks."
I really don’t know which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
With a wry smile, he slowly sat up and checked his body. His clothes and the canvas bag he was carrying were all fine, but...
She touched her empty wrist and found that the bracelet that Grandma Yan gave her yesterday and her watch were gone.
What shameful secret does Tong Tai have with that woman?
Who are the three people in front of me? Why are they imprisoned here?
"Girl, why were you thrown in here?"
"I followed Tong Tai..."
"Are you from Party J?"
Just hearing her eager question and the content of the question that came out of her mouth, Su Ning's heart sank.
It seemed like she had accidentally stepped into a big event, following the factory's human resources director and uncovering a big secret!
