48 Hours a Day-Chapter 1223: Uninvited Guest
Chapter 1223 Uninvited Guest
In the bedroom, song Jia didn’t look drunk at all. On the contrary, she was as sober as she was when she first entered the room. The water she had drunk earlier was just plain white water. She had only pretended to be drunk to act along with Zhang Heng.
When they reached the upper floor, Zhang Heng conducted another body search on her before saying, “Alright, you can talk normally now. There’s no listening device on you anymore, but it’s best to be careful. Don’t make too much noise and let it get downstairs.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Song Jia couldn’t wait to ask, “Who are they?”
“That’s what I want to know too.”Zhang Heng went to the window and closed it. After a pause, he added, “When we went to Dr. Baker’s house, I noticed that someone was watching over there. That should be the reason why Dr. Baker was so nervous and didn’t want to talk to us. I didn’t know how well those people were monitoring Dr. Baker, and I didn’t know if there was a bug or a camera in his clinic, so I didn’t ask further.”
Songjia came to a sudden realization. “Dr. Baker said ‘You’re their people’before, but I’m still a little confused. It seems that he thinks that we are in cahoots with the people who are spying on him.”
“Yes.”
“That’s why those people planted a bug on me.”Songjia was very smart. She quickly connected the dots, the most important thing was that she finally understood why she was being bugged when she was just a normal person.
However, Zhang Heng only explained a part of the story selectively. There was another part that he did not tell song Jia. For example, before he entered Dr. Baker’s clinic, he had already observed the people who were spying on him at the bar, this was also the reason why he suggested going to the bar for a meal later. Song Jia probably could not understand this kind of action of sending herself to the door.
However, to Zhang Heng, he had come alone to this completely unfamiliar land to investigate the events of 18 years ago. He did not even know who his enemy was, and he was not familiar with this city at all, therefore, he did not want to play a protracted battle with the other side because the longer they dragged it out, the more advantageous it would be for the side that had the home-field advantage.
Rather than testing each other out carefully, it was better to take the initiative to attack before the other side had a clear grasp of his background. Zhang Heng had already planned to fight the other side back at the bar, however, he didn’t expect that the group would only plant a bug on Songjia. However, this was for the best. After all, Zhang Heng was still a tourist. If he really fought with the people on the island in public.., if he wasn’t careful, he might be sent back to his country.
It would be more appropriate to postpone the fight a little and place it in the house where he lived. The reason why Zhang Heng didn’t let Songjia leave was because he was worried that she would be kidnapped on her way home alone, however, before he could discuss with the girl how to lure the people outside into the house, someone was already knocking on his door.
This surprised Zhang Heng because this group of people had been following them for a long time. It was obvious that they wanted to know why he and Songjia had gone to Dr. Baker, but they still didn’t have an answer to this question, could it be that they had run out of patience, so they decided to use force?
However, this saved Zhang Heng a lot of trouble. When he heard the sound of the door being broken, he was not worried at all. He even had the time to tell Songjia, whose expression had changed drastically, that.., “You stay here and don’t run around. I’ll probably need you to translate for me later.”
After saying that, Zhang Heng pushed open the door to the master bedroom and walked out. When he reached the corridor, he locked the door behind him, pulled out the key, and put it into his pocket.
At this time, the door that he had left behind had just been pushed open by someone. However, that group of people was still quite cautious. They were probably afraid that there would be some kind of trap, so they didn’t rush in immediately.
Therefore, Zhang Heng placed the travel bag that he was carrying on the ground and took out a Lego gun from inside.
This time, because he had to fly through security, and because Zhang Heng didn’t want the bartender to know the destination of his trip, he didn’t use the game point’s shipping service, therefore, he couldn’t bring the ( plague bone bow ) and ( hidden scabbard ] over, but the – LSB- infinite building blocks ) , which was also a b-grade item, wasn’t affected at all.
Furthermore, Zhang Heng had bought two boxes of building blocks before boarding the plane. He had already assembled two weapons on the plane to deal with the current situation. He inserted the – LSB-infinite building blocks ) into the last slot, and the next moment.., a Beretta M92F magically appeared in his hand.
At the same time, the people below had finally completed their initial investigation. After confirming that the first floor was safe, they finally entered. Furthermore, they probably did not want to be seen trespassing, so they immediately closed the door, they reached for the stairs.
Zhang Heng heard the footsteps and realized that there were two people who had entered. He put the Beretta M92F back into his waist. Zhang Heng’s goal was to capture and interrogate them alive, because these people were staring at Doctor Baker, it was very likely that it had something to do with what happened 18 years ago, so the pistol was just a safety measure. If everything went according to Zhang Heng’s plan, he wouldn’t need it at all. Furthermore, with the gun drawing skill that he had learned from the western pocket dimension.., there wasn’t much difference between putting it on his waist and holding it in his hand.
If he really encountered any danger, he could pull out the gun and grab it at the first opportunity.
After making his preparations, Zhang Heng carried his bag and headed downstairs. However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a burly man with a masked face charging at him angrily.
Even though the man had disguised himself, changed his clothes, and covered his face, leaving only his eyes, to Zhang Heng, this method was a little too crude. This was because the masked man had only changed his upper body clothes, he hadn’t changed his pants or shoes at all, and his figure hadn’t changed much either. Zhang Heng recognized the man from the couple he had seen at the bar.
Needless to say, his cheap girlfriend was following behind him. The two of them worked well together, pouncing on Zhang Heng one after the other.
The man was still babbling something, but Zhang Heng didn’t quite understand it. He didn’t know why the man was looking at him with fire in his eyes, as if there was some deep hatred between them, however, the two of them didn’t know each other, and Zhang Heng couldn’t be bothered to guess. After all, he would know after subduing them and getting song Jia to translate for him. Even though it was one against two, Zhang Heng wasn’t flustered at all. He didn’t Dodge at all. He took the punch head-on, and then he took two steps back.
