Power and Wealth
Chapter 1115 – Shit
Morning. Florida.
A Buicks is traveling at high speed along the highway.
“Old Hong does not know the roads well, Ms. Zhang. Which way should we go?” Yao Shun asked.
“Just drive towards the west. Oh, what should we have for lunch?”
Yao Shun controlled his expression to be calm. “You decide. Old Hong and I are fine with anything. Just pick somewhere not crowded.”
Zhang Longjuan turned to Dong Xuebing. “Pick a place, Xiao Dong.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I think the steakhouse we ate at yesterday is good.”
“Haha…. The food is delicious. Let’s go there.”
Dong Xuebing looked at Sis Zhang. “It’s still early. What should we do now?”
Zhang Longjuan replied. “Let’s drive around. We drove along the northern roads yesterday. Let’s go by the southern side.” She noticed other cars around and wore a big sunglass covering half her face. Dong Xuebing had noticed the sunglasses she kept between her cleavage earlier. Even Yao Shun and the driver, Old Hong, noticed it.
She is too liberal.
Dong Xuebing was speechless by her actions.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and took a pair of sunglasses from his pocket. It covered half his face, and no one could recognize him.
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Are you copying me?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “It’s too bright.”
Dong Xuebing wore the sunglass, not because of the sun. He wore it disguised to hide his identity from CCTV or other people. He is not from the State Security Bureau and will be appearing in public in the future. He does not want this incident to affect his career.
“Are there any interesting places here, Sis Zhang?”
“There’s a city in that direction. There are a few holiday villas, but I cannot bring you there today. I will bring you there if I am free tomorrow.”
“That would be very nice of you.”
Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan chatted and joked in the car.
Dong Xuebing acted like a real tourist and had lots of questions for Zhang Longjuan.
Yao Shun and Old Hong were not as good as Dong Xuebing. Yao Shun occasionally joined in their conversation, but Old Hong was quiet. He was driving and observing the surroundings.
“In front is a research center.” Zhang Longjuan suddenly said.
Yao Shun immediately looked in front. Are we finally here?
Old Hong looked tense. They were here to monitor the landscape and devise a plan to rescue Zhong Lizhen.
The car became tense.
Zhang Longjuan remained relaxed. She lit a cigarette and introduced the area naturally.
Yao Shun and Old Hong exchanged looks after Zhang Longjuan stopped. They were looking terrible. The surrounding was not in their favor. The vast grassland could not provide any cover, and they could see the military vehicles patrolling around that research center. They were not confident about completing this mission.
The security is too tight.
How are we going to save her?
But they did not give up. They continued to observe the surrounding.
Old Hong secretly took a camera and took a few photos without Dong Xuebing knowing. He continued to drive while deep in thought. He seemed to be thinking of a plan.
Dong Xuebing saw it but pretended not to see it and continued chatting with Zhang Longjuan.
Dong Xuebing does not have any plans. If he wants to save Zhong Lizhen, he does not need to care about the landscape or surroundings. He would rush in without any plan. This was his style. He will settle everything with violence.
The car continued forward.
Ten meters….
Fifty meters….
One hundred meters….
Zhang Longjuan asked. “How is this place?”
Yao Shun replied. “It’s much better than China.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “What now?”
Yao Shun spoke cautiously because of Dong Xuebing. “Let’s drive around towards the south. Our company wants to buy a piece of land here. We need to look around.”
“Ok. Turn at the junction in front.” Zhang Longjuan said.
Old Hong turned and drove towards the south.
Dong Xuebing had not come to this area yesterday, and he looked around. “Sigh…. I wish I could buy a small house here if I got the money.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Sure. I will give you a house here if you are moving here.”
Dong Xuebing does not know if she is joking. “No… no…. I cannot accept it.”
“Haha…. What are you thinking? Do you want to live with me? Sure. I don’t mind. I am only afraid Old Xu would get mad.” Zhang Longjuan laughed.
Dong Xuebing was speechless.
Yao Shun and Old Hong were not interested in their conversation. They kept looking around.
“Eh? What’s happening in front?” Old Hong suddenly gasped.
“What is it?” Yao Shun and Zhang Longjuan looked in front and saw two military vehicles.
There were other cars on the road, and they were blocked by the two military vehicles. Around eight soldiers with rifles walked over to a car and started searching it. They also checked the driver’s ID.
The soldiers searched inside the car, the boot, and the body searched the driver and passengers.
The two cars, who were stopped, grumbled, but the soldiers ignored them.
“Shit!” Old Hong slammed the brakes.
Zhang Longjuan’s face changed. “Why is there a security checkpoint here? You all….” She looked at Yao Shun.
Yao Shun shook his head and looked at his ankle. It was bulky, and he might be carrying a gun.
Many Americans own guns, but Yao Shun’s guns should be illegal. Their car cannot be searched.
Zhang Longjuan did not expect to encounter a security checkpoint on this road. She had never encountered any security checks along this road before or would not bring Yao Shun here. Her heart started beating faster.
