Three days later, Qiu Tong received a call from the network. She raised her index finger to her lips to signal for silence.
Qiu Xingyu cleverly ran to the computer. She wanted to use the GPS system to track the other party’s exact location.
Qiu Tong picked up the call, and the background noise of the casino came from the other end.
Bo Lang swirled his cup and took two deep breaths from the cigar in his hand. “Sally, go to the crossroad in the suburbs at 9:58 PM tomorrow. A van will bring you to see me. Don’t be late.”
“The upper echelons of the organization would like to meet you and confirm your identity before revising your mission. Any problems?”
Qiu Tong frowned but responded in a relaxed tone, “Of course not, thank you.”
After hanging up, Qiu Xingyu pointed at the location of the Sent Bar on the map.
Qiu Tong picked her up with a smile and kissed her sweet face. She then turned to look at Jin Yang. “It looks like we can find out the other party’s core information this time!”
As long as she could gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Vulture Organization, she would be able to monitor their movements in S City and find out about their boss.
Jin Yang felt uneasy. He offered his gun to Qiu Tong but she shook her head.
Qiu Xingyu placed Qiu Xingyu on the ground and motioned for her to go play with Ye Luan outside.
“Bo Lang is very vigilant. I will definitely have to undergo a body-search before I can meet the upper echelons of the organization. I will bring a couple of daggers and an ordinary handgun as part of my cover, but I will let them find them…”
“Shao An’s intelligence said that Bo Lang hasn’t sent anyone to keep an eye on the black market recently. Their suspicions about me should have been dispelled.”
“I’ll try my best to contact you before midnight. If you don’t receive my call by then, Little Yu will help you find my location.”
Qiu Tong looked at the little girl running around with a kite in her hand and opened her palm to show Jin Yang the tape that had almost merged with her skin.
Her eyes were filled with pride as she explained, “Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu worked together to develop a new tracking locator chip. This tape covering the chip ensures that it will not be detected by electromagnetic devices. Meanwhile, the chip can help you find my location and monitor my vital signs.”
Jin Yang looked at the tape in surprise. Qiu Tong looked at his expression and smiled.
Qiu Xingyuan would indeed become a top scientist and Little Yu a formidable hacker in the future!
…
The next day, Qiu Tong waited at the crossroad in the suburbs as promised.
She looked around and observed her surroundings. She realized that there were no buildings around that would block the view. It seemed like Bo Lang was still cautious.
A horn beeped. Qiu Tong saw a dilapidated van appear at the end of the road and raised her hand to greet them.
The van door was pushed open from the inside, and some burly men jumped out with masks on. They took out a black blindfold and tied it around her, then had her sit in the backseat. As she listened to the commotion, she determined that there were at least five or six people around.
The car continued to drive. Qiu Tong closed her eyes to visualize their journey, but she realized that they were just circling around.
Qiu Tong had a bad premonition. She gave a light laugh and asked the person beside her, “Where’s Bo Lang? Where are we going?”
“I’m feeling a little dizzy. Can you remove my blindfold so that I can take a breather?”
The car was quiet. No one answered. Qiu Tong was about to touch the door when a hoarse voice berated from the side, “Don’t move! Behave yourself if you don’t want to die. Mr. Bo Lang is already waiting for you at the abandoned factory!”
“You want some air? There’s a lot of time for you to enjoy it later!”
Bo Lang was waiting for her? Not the upper echelons of the Vulture Organization?!
Qiu Tong sensed danger and instinctively swung her elbow at the man beside her.
She moved to take off her blindfold and escape when… thump!!
The dull thud of a metal rod hitting her neck echoed in the car. Qiu Tong felt dizzy and fell unconscious.
The van drove towards the abandoned factory. Bo Lang sat beside a paint bucket. He stood up with an intrigued expression.
Dozens of bare-chested burly men were gathered in the spacious venue. Their arms, backs or waists were all marked with the Vulture Organization tattoo. Bo Lang lit the firewood and threw a red-hot branding iron on the ground. He nodded and gestured for them to go over.
The members dragged Qiu Tong out of the car and tied her to a wooden seat.
Bo Lang got the burly man beside him to splash a bucket of cold water on Qiu Tong to wake her up…
Qiu Tong opened her eyes and gasped. Her curly hair was wet and stuck to her face. She saw Bo Lang squatting in front of her. “What are you doing? Didn’t you say you were going to bring me to meet the upper echelons? Let go of me!” She wanted to kick Bo Lang, but her ankles were tied up and she couldn’t move.
Bo Lang’s eyes were filled with sympathy as he hooked her chin. “Upper echelons?”
“Are we going to continue pretending now?” Bo Lang clapped his hands and stared at her. “Should I call you Sally or Qiu Tong?”
