Chapter 131 - Man With No Way Out
Back in Annina’s house, Xia Lei went up to the second floor and opened the door to the room she talked about He then discovered that the rooed’ for him was actually her own Her pyjamas were on the bed and her slippers by it The room was full of soft touches like pink lampshades and bears It looked like the room of a 17 or 18-year-old and not that of a mature woman
Xia Lei stood in the doorway and smiled wryly ‘Didn’t expect that workaholic to have such a cute side to her… And why did she tell me to sleep in her room? This isn’t appropriate; I should use another room’
Xia Let exited Annina’s room and looked for another He showered in the bathrooo to bed when he suddenly found a wo next to the bed
This wo Bing
Xia Lei let out a sound of surprise when he saw Long Bing, then rushed to get the trousers he had left on the bed Annina had not prepared for guests so he had no towels or things like that
Long Bing watched all his actions quietly and expressionlessly
“You…” Xia Lei hurriedly crouched next to the bed to put his trousers on and said in annoyance, “Why didn’t you knock?”
“Hoould I know that you were taking a shower?” Long Bing replied
Xia Lei looked at her gloomily; he had no words of reproach
“Looks like I was too late and
Xia Lei could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice and he bit the bullet and said, “I’ve already taken care of it There won’t be any more trouble”
“What should I say about you? You have to reirls”
Xia Lei was speechless
Long Bing continued her lecture “I’ve re ene like this ill draw the attention of German or American inforo to jail in Europe or in America?”
Xia Lei smiled wryly “I knoe’re here to do; there’s no need to remind me so frequently I am just not a natural-born spy like the people in your line of work I’ to become the cold-blooded killer you expectto complete a mission She treats er?”
Long Bing glared at Xia Lei She looked like she wanted to kick hi at ain soot ant”
Long Bing paused “What have you got?”
“Annina has a friend naineer and he’s doing research on an intelligent lathe I saw that lathe just now and it really is the s about Josef, including hi shot
“You actually used tweezers to re’s interest in the intelligent lathe diot to that part of his narration
“I had no other choice That lathe is still incomplete; the most critical part, the CNC, is still not finished and Josef must be the one to complete it Who will finish that lathe if Josef dies?” said Xia Lei
“Did you find the drawings?” Xia Lei had drawn Long Bing’s attention back to the s for the lathe in his shed and they included the circuitry I took pictures with ive you the memory card and you can take a look after you’re back The inforh for you to submit to your superiors” He took the mobile phone out of his trouser pocket, re He also took out the box containing the soap and handed it to Long Bing
Long Bing looked at the soap box curiously “What are you giving me a piece of soap for?”
“There’s a keyit back with you - I need it to make a key It’ll open the door of Josef’s shed,” said Xia Lei
Long Bing’s expression softened and she put away the memory card and soap box, then looked at Xia Lei “Aren’t you coone to help with the investigation at the police station and asked me to stay I want to know the situation at the police station and Josef’s condition so I won’t be going back,” said Xia Lei
A strange s’s lips “You haven’t fallen in love with that Ger? I’ this to complete the mission,” said Xia Lei “I will know ood tern I’ll steal it io back to China and hand it over to the higher-ups Isn’t this a very good thing? Think about it - this is the only intelligent lathe in the world and we can get all the information on it before it is even revealed to the world Don’t you know the significance of this?”
“Fine I’ll send the drawings you have back to China post-haste If it really is as you say our reat benefit to our nation The higher-ups will not forget your contributions”
“I don’t want any recognition,” said Xia Lei
“Okay, well done I’ll be going back now It’ll be bad if I run into your Gerirlfriend”
“You… What do youto say such nonsense
Long Bing replied expressionlessly, “I’ the night at another woman’s place?”
