Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 324: Intrigue and deception, wanting you as bait

The sudden knock on the door startled me.

The three words "mainland boy" made my heart sink to the bottom.

These three words mean that the other party knows that I am from the mainland!

It also means that someone betrayed my information!

Who could have betrayed my information?

I slowly raised my eyelids.

His eyes met Boss Dong's.

Boss Dong was holding the teacup in his right hand and gently blowing away the hot steam coming out of the tea.

He was very calm.

I wasn't affected at all by the sound of the door being banged on.

Ziliu.

Boss Dong picked up the teacup and started drinking, letting out a refreshing "ah" sound after finishing it.

He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Yeah, the police will be here soon."

"The Main Police Station is on Hollywood Road."

"When the traitor Bin asked me to send someone to pick you up at the dock, I contacted Inspector Cao and asked him to arrange for more police officers to be stationed nearby."

"If the Big Circle Boys dare to resort to violence here, they're challenging the authority of the General Police Station!"

"No matter how rude a bandit is, he wouldn't dare to fight the officials openly."

These words relaxed my tense nerves.

It seems that Boss Dong had made arrangements long ago.

Since it was the traitor Bin who passed the news to Boss Dong, then who was the person who betrayed me?

It can't be that Lin Wei betrayed me.

He also wanted to get the channel to collect antiques from me so that he wouldn't sell me to the big circle guys.

Could it be someone else in the hall?

"Are you wondering why the Big Circle Boy came looking for you so quickly?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, the big circle boy was chasing us too fast."

"And they found this place so precisely. It's very likely that someone at the dock betrayed me."

Boss Dong shook his head slightly: "Selling information is perfectly normal."

"This is Hong Kong Island, a mixed bag of good and bad people."

"On the surface, everything seems calm."

“But I don’t know how deep the water in Victoria Harbour is.”

Victoria Harbour is the seaport between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula.

Due to its wide and deep harbor, it is one of the three largest natural harbors in the world and a famous tourist attraction on Hong Kong Island.

Boss Dong used the depth of the water in Victoria Harbour to allude to the depth of the water in Hong Kong Island.

"Brokers are flocking to Hong Kong Island."

"They are all insiders who sell information. They have spies all over the place and can get information at the slightest sign of trouble."

"You had a fight with the Big Circle Boy on the water, and since you're from the mainland, it's natural that people would notice you."

"So there's no need to find out who betrayed you."

"It's important."

"How can I protect you?"

"Let the big circle boys stop bothering you."

As soon as Boss Dong finished speaking, the shouts of police officers were heard outside.

Soon the sounds of banging on the door and shouting disappeared.

The big circle guys blocking the way outside must have run away.

Then came the sound of a door opening and someone coming upstairs.

Amin accompanied a detective with epaulettes and flowers upstairs.

"Boss, Inspector Cao is here."

Boss Dong smiled and took out a red envelope.

He stepped forward and stuffed the red envelope into Inspector Cao's hand: "Thank you for your help."

Inspector Cao took the red envelope with a smile, put it in his pocket and said, "It's a small matter."

"The ones outside aren't the real big circle guys, they're just peripheral brothers."

"I guess they want to alert the enemy."

"First, I'll scare you away from here, and then I'll find an opportunity to attack you on the way."

Having said that, Inspector Cao's eyes drifted to me.

He stared at me for five or six seconds.

He laughed and said, "Are you the mainland kid who's fighting with the big circle guys?"

Gunfight?

I just fired a shot, how did it become a fight with the Big Circle Boys?

This news is too weird.

Before I could explain, Inspector Cao had already hugged Boss Dong and walked towards the corner.

"Do you really want to protect him?"

"The Big Circle Boys are all desperate criminals... Think about it."

"They don't give face to anyone, so there's no way they'll find a middleman to arrange a round-trip toast."

A "Hetoujiu" is a banquet held on the road to resolve disputes.

A prestigious and senior person will be invited to act as a middleman to mediate and help both parties put aside their differences, and after a banquet, the hostility will be resolved.

But the Big Circle Boys have no connection with the various mountain halls in Hong Kong Island, so it is difficult to find a middleman.

That's why Inspector Cao said this.

"You don't want to ask Master Ma to come forward, do you?"

"He is a person of such high status, how could he possibly speak up for a mainlander?"

"Even if you have a close relationship with him, there's no way you can ask him to come forward."

"This relationship should be used in critical areas."

"Think carefully about my advice."

"You don't take any risk, and you get a lot of benefits."

Inspector Cao patted Boss Dong's shoulders twice.

Then he looked back at me.

When he looked at me, greed gleamed in his eyes.

That moment.

I feel like I have become Tang Monk's meat.

From Huazai, Lin Wei to Daquanzi, and then to this Inspector Cao, they all want to get huge benefits from me.

But I'm just a tomb robber!

How did I get caught in such a big vortex!

Boss Dong smiled and nodded: "I will think about it carefully."

"But before you consider it, I'd like to trouble you to arrange for someone to protect his safety."

"Brothers, you won't be short of hard work money."

"Think about it quickly, time waits for no one." Inspector Cao said and turned to go downstairs.

Only after hearing the sound of a door closing downstairs did Boss Dong speak to me.

"This Inspector Cao wants to use you as bait to lure the big guys so he can get a promotion."

"But I didn't agree to that."

"He will send someone to secretly protect you for the time being, but it certainly won't last long."

"Even... he might have passed your message to the Big Circle Boys behind my back."

"Hong Kong Island is like this, everyone is deceiving each other for their own interests."

"Rules, morality, haha... they've all become a fig leaf."

Boss Dong sighed heavily.

He looked at me very seriously: "But you have to believe me."

"I will definitely do my best to protect you."

I am willing to believe what Boss Dong says.

But wanting to protect me in this situation is not just empty talk.

I remained silent.

Wait for Boss Dong to tell us the follow-up plan.

He took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to me.

"Stone, now both black and white are staring at you."

"Even if I let you escape, there's a high chance you'll be ambushed along the way."

"So, do you have the guts to make a big one?"

I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Thick white smoke blew out of his nostrils.

I definitely have the courage.

But if I were to be bait for Inspector Cao...I wouldn't do it even if I had the guts.

From his words and actions just now, it can be seen that he is a person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Such people are usually blinded by greed and are very short-sighted in everything they do.

Work with him.

It must be an old man hanging himself - he thinks his life is too long!

"Brother Dong, do you want me to be bait?" I asked.

Boss Dong nodded and then shook his head.

"I want you to be bait, but not for Inspector Cao."

"Who is that bait for?" I asked curiously.

Boss Dong slowly leaned forward.

He leaned close to my ear and said, "The Big Circle Boys are hated by everyone in Hong Kong Island."

"All the gangs harbor resentment towards the Big Circle Boys."

"Especially the 14K."

"Their boss wants to set up an ambush to vent his anger on the big circle guys."

"As long as you are willing to be the bait, you will have the capital to establish yourself in Hong Kong Island in the future."

“Risks and opportunities coexist.”

"You... think carefully about whether to do it or not."
