Evening.
Lü'an City.
The night is dim, pedestrians are in a hurry, and the streets are brightly lit, giving off a prosperous atmosphere.
Dong Xuebin did not drive here, but came here by Long-distance Bus. Looking at this strange city and these strange people, he walked on this Lü'an City longest commercial pedestrian street and bought a map and travel guide from the newsstand. After reading the travel guide, he found a bench and sat down. While flipping through the map, he got familiar with the city. Dong Xuebin tried his best to memorize every street and famous building in his mind. Finally, he walked out of the pedestrian street. Feeling certain, he stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, opened the door and got in. The Power of Time and Wealth 265
"Master, please go to Seaside Bathing Center." Dong Xuebin sat in the back seat.
The driver looked back at him and said, "Young man, do you think your accent is from another place?"
"... Yeah, what's wrong?"
"The background of that kind of place is not clean." The driver advised, "If you want to play, you'd better go to Great Sea Dragon Bathing Center. Well, it's not far from here."
Dong Xuebin asked curiously, "Master, why is it unclean there? Can you tell me about it?"
The driver was very talkative. He explained to Dong Xuebin while driving on the main road. Generally, Bath Center rarely has clean ones. Side service, prostitution, and prostitution are all involved, but what the driver said Unclean doesn't mean the service, but there are often troubles there, with fights, cheating, and robbing people. The reputation is not very good, and it seems to have a gangster background. The only good thing about going there is that you don't have to worry about being caught by the police. Their boss is very smart.
Dong Xuebin had anticipated this situation and didn't pay much attention to it.
He traveled thousands of miles to come to Lü'an City this time, which can be said to be a big gamble.
Dong Xuebin didn't know whether the information provided by sasasa668 was true. Even if it was credible, he didn't know whether the things were still in the hands of boss Seaside Bathing Center, so Dong Xuebin did not report it to the county bureau. He didn't even tell anyone. Firstly, he couldn't explain the source of this intelligence clearly. Secondly, if the intelligence was wrong, it would be embarrassing. Then Provincial Department mobilized troops to arrest people but got nothing. Wouldn't he be labeled as lying about military information?
So Dong Xuebin wanted to find out the truth first.
Yes, he wanted to be an undercover agent and sneak into Seaside Bathing Center to check carefully. Anyway, he had more than a week off.
In order to avoid being exposed, Dong Xuebin left everything on his body with Yantai County, including his car, work permit, ID card, watch, mobile phone, Qilin Pendant. He even changed his clothes, which were very ordinary and convenient. He also called many people before coming here, saying that he was going to travel with friends to relax and have fun. He also said that because he had to climb a mountain, he might not be able to get through on his mobile phone. Anyway, he had no worries and left himself nearly ten days of free time.
Urban area, Central Street North Road.
Dong Xuebin got out of the taxi and looked up at the sign across the road.
Seaside Bathing Center, this is it. At a quick glance, the building decoration outside is quite high-end. The Bath Center brand is flashing with Hong Hong lights. Two pretty reception ladies are wearing flags. Pao stood at the door and bowed gently to the guests. Many high-end cars also entered the parking lot one after another. Well, at a glance, it didn't look like Bath Center like Capital City. It seemed to have a bit of Leisure Club.
Dong Xuebin did not go in first, but walked around Bath Center.
After "feeling" the surrounding environment clearly, he smoothed his hair and fiddled with his collar. In order to get this First Class Merit, Dong Xuebin had his hair cut before setting off, and he dressed up differently from Yantai County. He was afraid of being recognized. In fact, Lü'an City People like Yantai County will not read the newspaper. They are not even sold here, but Dong Xuebin has been on the front page of Provincial Newspaper. Although the photo above is not a close-up photo of the front, and the photo is not clear, he still wanted to be on the safe side and completely changed his style. He should not be afraid of being discovered.
OK!
Everything is ready! The Power of Time and Wealth 265
Dong Xuebin felt determined and strode towards the main entrance.
Although the two welcoming ladies saw that Dong Xuebin was dressed shabbily, they still maintained a professional smile and bowed slightly.
"Welcome."
"Welcome."
Entering the lobby, the red marble tiles are very dazzling, and many people are checking in at the front desk. Dong Xuebin glanced over there, but did not go there. Instead, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a staff member in his thirties, and Dong Xuebin walked over.
"Are we hiring here?" Dong Xuebin asked.
The short-haired man looked at him, "Applicant? What do you know?"
Dong Xuebin said confidently, "I can order everything."
"Can you do massage? Do you have a license? What level?"
"Uh, not that one."
The short-haired man waved his hand, "That means he doesn't know anything, so you can go." Bath Center usually doesn't lack any handymen. This is a good trick, and women who are willing to show it can easily do it. What they lack is the kind of licensed professional masseurs. Some customers don't come here just for "meat", many people like "plain" work, that is, simple tasks such as rubbing backs, squeezing feet, and rubbing heads. Although non-professionals can learn to rub their heads twice, they are not professionals. And there are not many serious and licensed people who are willing to work long-term in places like this, so there is a shortage.
Dong Xuebin clicked his tongue, "Although I don't have a license, I still have some strength. You see..."
The short-haired man shook his head, "We have no shortage of handymen."
"The salary doesn't matter, just give me a little bit, as long as I take care of food and housing."
The short-haired man still shook his head and waved him away.
Dong Xuebin is a little depressed. After all, my buddy is also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. He needs combat effectiveness, marksmanship and marksmanship, and ability. Well, why can't he even be hired as a handyman? This is so shocking! Of course Dong Xuebin wouldn't leave. He didn't believe it yet, so he continued to sell himself to the short-haired man, talking softly and hard for more than 20 minutes.
The short-haired man had a headache. This man was so fucking eloquent that he opened his eyes and wanted to ask the security guard to take him away.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebin rolled his eyes and said, "I have worked with Brother Bao's car wash and repair shop before, so I definitely understand what's going on."
The short-haired man was stunned, "Which Brother Bao?"
Dong Xuebin said, "It's Brother Bao of Fenzhou City."
Yantai County is under the jurisdiction of Fenzhou City. When looking through the files, Dong Xuebin had heard of Fenzhou City's old man, nicknamed Brother Bao, who mainly ran a car repair shop, although it looked like a business The scale is not big, but it is quite famous on the road. They all came out in the past. Although Fenzhou City is relatively far away from Lü'an City, since Haibin Bathhouse is related to the background of the dark forces, I think I have heard the name Brother Bao.
Dong Xuebin guessed it right, the short-haired man had really heard of it, "Then why don't you work in an auto repair shop?" The Power of Time and Wealth 265
"Hey, don't mention it." Dong Xuebin complained, "Twenty-four hours a day, I can't wait to work overtime for twenty hours, it's too tiring."
"Do you really want to work here?" The other party looked at him and said, "Our work here is not easy either."
Dong Xuebin nodded immediately when he saw something going on.
The short-haired man thought for a while and said, "The housekeeping department is short of a few towel washers. It's six hundred a month. They will take care of food and housing. If you can, you can go to work today."
Dong Xuebin Is it because of the pretense. "Is six hundred... eight hundred OK?"
The short-haired man had a look of impatience on his face, "Just six hundred, do it if you like."
"Okay, okay, six hundred is six hundred."
The short-haired man made a phone call and told the housekeeping department about Dong Xuebin. After the explanation was completed, he hung up the phone and introduced Seaside Bathing Center to Dong Xuebin about the layout of Seaside Bathing Center. Here is the bathing area, over there is the leisure area for playing billiards, and upstairs is the guest room. Dong Xuebin is very fond of it and will keep it in mind silently. After arriving at an office, the short-haired man suddenly asked Dong Xuebin to give him his ID card and register.
Dong Xuebin said with a sad face, "The ID card... is lost."
Xiao Cuntou frowned, "How can you work without an ID card? I know where you are from?"
"It's really a shame to be accommodating."
It's not that Xiao Cuntou has never seen such people before. On the contrary, he often encounters them. He doesn't believe that the other person has lost his ID card and just doesn't want to show it to others. This kind of people usually have committed some crime, or stole or robbed things, so they were startled. Xiao Cuntou is not surprised. They are not a clean place here. After thinking about it, he said nothing more. After giving him a few words, he found someone to take him to the guest room.
The back room on the second floor.
There is a small door here, and the scenery changes immediately after entering, which is in sharp contrast to the luxurious decoration outside. The rows of rooms here are closely packed together, with almost no gaps. The roofs and floors are also made of poor materials. They are the dormitories of the staff. Dong Xuebin was assigned to the sixth room. As soon as he opened the door, the smell of washing powder hit his face. Two young men in their twenties were washing clothes in the room. The room was not large, but it had four bunk beds. It was obviously a room for eight people.
Dong Xuebin was quite dissatisfied with this environment, but his face didn't show anything.
The foreman who brought him here said, "This is the new guy. Please explain the rules and scope of work to him first."
As soon as the foreman left, Dong Xuebin introduced himself, "My name is Xie Hao."
The two young men also said their names, and then explained the work process to Dong Xuebin. Everyone in their house washes sheets and towels. There is no other requirement, just clean them. Four people work in the morning and four people work in the evening. Eight people live in one house. Dong Xuebin was not interested in these things. After everyone got to know each other, he started to trick them and wanted to know where the boss of Haibin Bathhouse was.
But several people shook their heads. Yes, they washed things all day long and couldn't get into it that deeply.
The highest level they have access to is Ma Wentao Manager Ma. Manager Ma has the final say on Haibin Bathhouse matters, just like the boss. Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information anymore, Dong Xuebin was too lazy to talk nonsense. Now he just sneaked in. The first step was completed, and then he was thinking about getting familiar with the environment here. After he "got" the general idea, he would look for an opportunity to investigate.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Haibin Bathhouse In an office.
Ma Wentao was sitting behind the desk looking at something. Xiao Cuntou and several foremen were standing in the room.
Not long after, Ma Wentao, who was in his forties, said with a straight face without raising his head, "Is there anything going on today?"
In recent days, Manager Ma keeps asking this question. Everyone knows that there is a strict crackdown recently, so it is better to be careful in everything. One of the young women said respectfully, "There is nothing going on in the lobby, everything is normal."
"So is the guest room."
"It's okay in the back."
Ma Wentao frowned, "I'm not asking if there's anyone causing trouble, I'm asking if there's anyone suspicious checking in?"
The young woman was stunned, "It doesn't seem like there is, it's all registered with the ID card."
Ma Wentao said, "The recent crackdown has been severe. Please be more careful. Anyone who refuses to show their ID card will be kicked out."
"Yes." Everyone looked at each other suspiciously.
After thinking about it, Ma Wentao was still worried, "Registration must be strict. Even if you are an old customer with a good relationship in the past, you must pay more attention this time. Also, from today on, no more people will be recruited here, and the same goes for the ladies. We will only use the ones from the past, no matter who introduced them."
The young woman was stunned, "Manager Ma, this..."
Ma Wentao waved his hand, "Don't ask anything, just do as I say."
Flathead hesitated for a moment, "Manager, there was someone who applied for a job just now. I have already taken him to the housekeeping department. This matter..."
"How old are you?" Ma Wentao frowned.
"Early 20s."
"Do you have your ID card with us?"
Flathead said, "He said he lost his ID card, so he didn't press it. I heard him say that he had done car repair work under Fenzhou City Brother Bao, so I just thought about forgetting it."
After groaning, Ma Wentao said warily, "Go, bring him over and let me take a look!"
But after a while, Flathead came back with Dong Xuebin. The people in the room had changed. The lobby foremans had all left, leaving only two Big Man in suits. They didn't wear sunglasses, but their expressions had a fierce aura. You could tell at a glance that they were not good-natured ones. As soon as he saw this formation, Dong Xuebin had a sudden thought. He knew that he might have aroused suspicion, but then he was overjoyed. If the other party was so vigilant, then the situation was probably true!
"Manager Ma." Dong Xuebin looked at him pretending to be worried.
Flathead shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, take out your ID card!"
"It's really lost. If you don't believe it, go find it." Dong Xuebin reluctantly took out his wallet and said, "I'm just getting a replacement."
Ma Wentao stared into his eyes with squinted eyes, "Don't play tricks on me, do you know where this place is?" After a pause, he said coldly, "You said you worked with Brother Bao? Brother Bao's auto repair shop closed six months ago! When did you start working there?"
Closed? I don't know this Dong Xuebin, he just said it casually.
Dong Xuebin calmed down and said, "I was there a while before the auto repair shop closed, but then I stopped working because I was too tired."
Ma Wentao's face turned colder, staring at him like a wolf, "I have dealt with Brother Bao a few times, and Da Chui beside him has a good relationship with me. Are you working with Da Chui in the back room, or are you working with Xiao Chen on small projects?"
Upon hearing that he knew Da Chui, Dong Xuebin said without thinking, "I followed Brother Chen."
Ma Wentao nodded and suddenly slammed the table, "Fuck you! Hold him down!"
Dong Xuebin was stunned, two black shadows whirred, and the two Big Man next to Ma Wentao grabbed Dong Xuebin, touched him, and pushed him to the ground.
Ma Wentao said with a sullen face, "Boy, who are you? Who sent you here?"
Dong Xuebin felt a little nervous and pretended to be helpless and said, "Manager Ma, what are you doing? I am just working and want to find a job."
Flathead's face also became serious, and he kicked him, "Fart! Brother Bao's auto repair shop has never been closed! It's still open now! You can really climb up the pole! Why follow Brother Chen? He and his brother-in-law are the bosses of Brother Bao! How come Brother Chen Da Chui?"
Damn it!
Dong Xuebin just figured it out!
He had never been an undercover agent, nor had he learned any knowledge in this area. He was suddenly yelled at by these guys, and he really didn't react.
paralysis! This person named Ma is quite sinister!
That's right! Back for one minute!!
The picture changes!
The pain disappeared, and Dong Xuebin returned to a standing position. Phew, a cold sweat broke out from behind.
"Don't play tricks on me. Do you know where this place is?" Ma Wentao sat behind the desk and looked straight at him with squinted eyes. "You said you worked with Brother Bao? Brother Bao's auto repair shop closed six months ago! When did you start working there?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Dong Xuebin's eyes, "I was still working there last month, but it's closed? No?"
Ma Wentao looked at him and said, "I have dealt with Brother Bao several times, and Da Chui beside him has a good relationship with me. Are you working with Da Chui in the back room, or are you working with Xiao Chen on small projects?"
Dong Xuebin's face became more confused, "They are all ordinary workers like me. I can't remember their names, but there doesn't seem to be anyone named Da Chui, right? There is one named Chen, but Brother Chen is not in charge. Brother Bao is not in charge of the auto repair shop, so Brother Bao's brother-in-law is in charge."
Ma Wentao frowned and said nothing.
Flathead saw that Dong Xuebin knew a lot about the auto repair shop, and he was convinced, "Manager Ma, you think you want him to..."
Ma Wentao's suspicion was gone. Since he had been with Brother Bao, he shouldn't have much of a problem, so he said, "Okay, let him go back to work."
As soon as Flathead agreed, he took Dong Xuebin and went out.
In the corridor, Dong Xuebin pretended to be stupid and said, "Brother Bao is the auto repair shop really closed? No?"
Flathead pushed him and said, "Go and do your job! Why are you asking so many questions!"
Dong Xuebin said oh, turned around and walked towards the end of the stairs. When his back was turned, a sneer appeared at the corner of Dong Xuebin's mouth, numb, you want to plot against me? You are still young!
But... it's so damn dangerous!
After this incident, Dong Xuebin realized that being an undercover agent is not as easy as imagined!!
