Glancing at the unfamiliar number, Qiu Tu clicked on the message.
There is only a short sentence in it, [Agent Qiu, I have information that you are interested in. If you want to cooperate, please go to the Milan Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight.]
After seeing this message, Qiu Tu touched his chin and thought quietly.
Which fish took the bait?
City Hall? Military Department? Other rooms in the Qin family? Or an anti-government organization?
Moreover, will this mysterious number have anything to do with Qin Shuman? Or is it just an outsider?
Because there is too little information, Qiu Tu cannot be sure for the time being.
But what he can be sure of is that what is before him now is an interesting choice:
Fourth Master Qin is still a mysterious person?
Zhizhen Hotel or Milan Hotel?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's eyes became unpredictable.
Time passed by minute by minute, very quickly, and a few hours passed by in an instant.
7pm.
In front of Zhenzhen Hotel.
Cao Dabiao, dressed in casual clothes, walked in with two of his cronies, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Seeing the three of them, the tall receptionist greeted them with a smile, bowed and asked, "Hello, gentlemen, do you have a reservation?"
Cao Dabiao held a cigarette in his mouth and nodded arrogantly, "Room 107."
Hearing Cao Dabiao's words, the welcoming lady smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, she took out the record sheet, compared it, and asked, "Is this Mr. Cao?"
Cao Dabiao nodded.
The welcoming lady immediately smiled and extended her hand, "This way, please." After saying that, she turned around and led the way.
Following the welcoming lady, Cao Dabiao and his two cronies kept observing the layout of the Zhizhen Hotel with their peripheral vision.
Soon, when they arrived at the private room, Cao Dabiao and others entered.
After looking around at the interior decoration of the private room, Cao Dabiao took out a 100-face-value copper dollar from his arms with satisfaction and handed it to the welcoming lady.
Miss Yingbin's eyes lit up, and she reached out her hand excitedly to catch it when Cao Dabiao caught a glimpse of the copper coin in his hand. He quickly took it back, took out another one with a face value of 10 and handed it to Miss Yingbin.
The smile on the receptionist's face retracted, she took it lukewarmly, saluted Cao Dabiao, and walked away with her buttocks twisted.
After the welcoming lady twisted and left the private room, Cao Dabiao and the other three returned to their normal form.
Two cronies approached Cao Dabiao and asked in a low voice, "Brother Biao, what are we doing here?"
Without the outsiders, Cao Dabiao no longer pretended to be so carefree. He stretched out his hand and motioned to the open door.
A confidant skillfully went over to close the door, and then Cao Dabiao said softly, "We are here to perform a mission."
He looked at his watch and whispered, "At 8 o'clock, two groups of people will meet in the private room next door."
"Our goal is to monitor and capture footage of both parties."
After speaking, he motioned to his two cronies. The two cronies immediately took out small instruments from their respective clothes.
Cao Dabiao held their necks and arranged in a low voice, "After a while, the sixth child went to the toilet. When he came back, he deliberately went to the wrong private room and went to the next door to install the bug."
"Lao Qi went to the corridor to smoke. When he saw the target entering the box, he looked for an opportunity to take photos with his camera."
"If you don't find an opportunity, then remember the target's appearance clearly and stitch together the appearance when you go back."
The two confidants nodded and accepted the order.
However, after receiving the order, Xiao Liu, who was sitting next to Cao Dabiao, suddenly came to his senses. He asked curiously, "Brother Biao, what are you doing?"
When Cao Dabiao heard this, he slapped him on the head and said angrily, "You are stupid! Of course I have to perform the most difficult task - ordering food!"
After finishing speaking, he cursed and said, "I was called back half way through last night and I was hungry for most of the night. Today I am on official duty, so I have to make up for it no matter what!"
"Anyway, it's Qiu Tu who reimburses the money. If you don't kill it, it won't be a waste."
Xiaoliu covered his head with a look of confusion on his face.
At this time, Xiao Qi asked curiously from the side, "By the way, Brother Biao, do we really want to follow Qiu Tu in the future?"
Hearing Xiao Qi's question, Cao Dabiao's expression suddenly began to change - he remembered an episode this afternoon.
This afternoon, while he was happily counting his silver dollars, he suddenly received an unfamiliar message.
The other party claimed to be from Qiu Tu. He received Qiu Tu's order to join the Political Department and needed Cao Dabiao's recommendation.
Upon hearing the other party's introduction, Cao Dabiao's first reaction was to suspect that the other party was a liar.
But then he realized: when the New Territories City was first established, only civil servants and some wealthy or noble people could use communicators.
Scammers can't get the communicator.
Moreover, the other party not only knew his communication number, but also accurately called his name and department. This does not look like a scam.
Therefore, he went to Qiu Tu to confirm.
The scene at that time was still fresh in Cao Dabiao's memory even after several hours.
When Cao Dabiao saw Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu was sitting at the table copying a document.
After listening to Cao Dabiao's words, Qiu Tu didn't even raise his head, and just replied casually, "They are my people. I am going to let them join the Political Department. Please help me recommend them."
Cao Dabiao's expression was really changing at that time.
He deliberately wanted to argue a few words, such as "Why don't you recommend your person?" or "Why should I be the recommender?"
But he had just received Qiu Tu's money yesterday, and he had been under Qiu Tu's hands during this period. He was manipulated by Qiu Tu, and it seemed that he could not refuse due to emotion or reason.
So, he could only handle the matter with a shy face and a flattering smile.
However, after the matter was done, Cao Dabiao began to think more and more something was wrong.
He felt as if he had been kidnapped by Qiu Tu into a pirate ship.
The question in this matter is not whether it should be done, but how to do it! Qiu Tu "cut it first and then reported it", forcing him to get the matter done!
He didn't refuse this time, so will Qiu Tu continue to "cut first and tell later" in the future to force him to do other things?
It doesn't matter if he does one or two, if he keeps going like this, wouldn't he become Qiu Tu's vassal completely?
After thinking about all this, Cao Dabiao felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
He wanted to get off the boat and stop playing with Qiu Tu, but he was reluctant to do so.
After all, he had just done something for Qiu Tu today, but he had not received any benefits. If he suddenly broke up, not only would the work be in vain, but he would also have to bear Qiu Tu's anger, and even the 80 silver dollars might have to be returned!
How could he be so willing to do this?
Humans are creatures that can comfort themselves. So Cao Dabiao thought about it and finally decided to wait and see.
He thought: Maybe Qiu Tu will not do such things again in the future? Maybe Qiu Tu can give him more benefits.?
Therefore, when faced with the inquiry from his cronies, his answer was very ambiguous, "Well, let's follow Qiu Tu for now. If it doesn't work, let's talk later."
At the same time, when Cao Dabiao was investigating at the Zhizhen Hotel.
Qiu Tu also came to the Milan Hotel alone.
