Chapter 264 – Buying information! (2/2)
Dong Xuebing blinked. “How about 20 million? You should have information if it is 20 million, right? Bro, don’t be in a hurry to reject my offer. I also want to recover those relics. Don’t worry. If anyone ask, I will not reveal your name. Furthermore, all I have is your email address, and no one knows your actually identity, right? 20 million, and you can tell me once I give you the money. Let’s meet in Hebei.”
sasasa668 was stunned. “Are you serious?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Of course. That batch of relics is worth at least a few billion. 20 million is the highest offer, but your information must be accurate.”
sasasa668 replied after a long pause. “How are we trading?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Let’s talk after we meet. You will pick the location.”
The other party kept quiet. Dong Xuebing starts to wonder. No one should hesitate in front of 20 million. Dong Xuebing has no intentions of giving that person the money, and only want to catch him for interrogation. When this person is brough back to the station for interrogation, they will get all the information out of him.
Five minutes…
Ten minutes…
Suddenly, there is a new incoming mail. Only a time and address is stated in the mail.
Dong Xuebing looked at the address and it is not far from the bureau. But the other party wants to meet tomorrow. Dong Xuebing does not want to way, and negotiated with sasasa668. In the end, they agreed to meet at an ICBC branch along the Provincial West road one hour later.
Dong Xuebing immediately leave his office and drives towards the location.
At 3 pm sharp, Dong Xuebing waited outside ICBC bank. But after ten minutes, no one appeared. He frowned as he looks at his watch. Is sasasa668 lying?
At about 3.30 pm, a middle-aged man with sunglasses walked towards the impatient Dong Xuebing.
“You are dong1?” That man looked at the color of Dong Xuebing’s shirt.
Dong Xuebing looks at that man. “Yes. You are sasasa668?” Dong Xuebing clenched his fist, and is ready to pin him down anytime. He wishes to interrogate this person personally as he can use force to torture him and used BACK after he gotten the information he wants.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “I am not. sasasa668 sent me over.”
Dong Xuebing’s frowned. “Where is he? Why is he not here? Didn’t we agree to transact face to face?”
“You can deal with me.” The middle-aged man is careful and kept looking at his surroundings. “Have you brought the money?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “There is no problem with the money, but you must convince me that your information is accurate. If you are lying, I will be wasting my money.” Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Tell me where the relics are first.”
The man shook his head. “I don’t know what you are talking about, and don’t even know about what deal you have with sasasa668. He only told me to deposit the money. After the money is in, I will call him, and he will speak to you.”
“You don’t know anything?”
That man shook his head. “I am here to collect money.”
This person is too careful. Dong Xuebing could not tell if this man is lying or he is really sasasa668. What should I do? Should I still proceed with the plan? But if this man does not know anything, it will be useless to bring him back, and sasasa668 will be alarmed. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and suddenly have an idea. “Alright. I will trust you all this time.”
The middle-aged man looks around and then turns to look at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing took out a cheque from his bag and start writing it. “20 million! Here!”
The middle-aged man’s hand is shaking as he took the cheque.
Dong Xuebing asked. “You can tell me the information now.”
“The money must be in first.” The man is afraid the cheque will bounce, and entered ICBC bank.
This cheque book if given to Dong Xuebing by Qu Yunxuan. All the cheques in the cheque book has been signed and stamped with the Company stamp. All Dong Xuebing needs to do is to write a figure, and write a code on it. Yun De Auction Company has slightly less than 30 million cash in the bank account, and this cheque of 20 million will not bounce. Dong Xuebing is also not worried that the bank will reject this cheque.
After a while, the middle-aged man walks out of the bank.
Dong Xuebing smiles. “Have you check with the bank?”
That man nodded and said. “Wait. I will make the call now.” He took out a phone and dialed a number. After the line got through, he said something and pass the phone to Dong Xuebing. “He wants you to answer.”
Dong Xuebing took the phone. “Hello, sasasa668?”
“Yes.” It was a hoarse voice. “The cheque has been verified.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “You have seen my sincerity. I do not want any fake information, or I will track you down even if you are hiding in the Northwest!”
sasasa668 felt Dong Xuebing is not lying. For someone to intercept his emails, and to take out 20 million without blinking, he must have strong backing. sasasa668 even suspect Dong Xuebing is related to the police. “Trust is very important when doing business. Don’t worry. I am not giving you any fake information. I got to know this piece of information by chance. That group of men had only sent one person to drive the car to Shanxi Province, and left it there. This is to divert the police’s attention. They are going to bring the items out of the country by sea.”
Dong Xuebing frowned. “Are you sure?”
“It should be 80% accurate. The items should still be in Hebei province. Remember the name of this Bath parlor, “Hai Bing.” This parlor is involved in this case. I don’t know how they are involve in this, but I know the relics are in their hands two days ago. Maybe they had bought it the items or because of some other reasons.”
“Do you have any more information?”
“That’s all I know.”
Dong Xuebing hangs up, and shouted, ‘BACK six minutes!’
The scene changed!
Dong Xuebing felt slight giddiness, and the next moment, a middle-aged man walks up to him.
“Are you dong1?” The man looked at Dong Xuebing’s shirt.
Dong Xuebing looks at him and shook his head. “No.”
The middle-aged man nodded and looks around for a man in striped shirt.
Dong Xuebing smiles and walked to his Mercedes. He did not turn back and drove away straight. Luckily, he did not arrest that man on the spot, or he will miss out this important piece of information. BACK is very useful in these situations.
The middle-aged man waited outside the bank for a long time, before calling sasasa668 to inform him.
sasasa668 sighed. “Don’t need to wait anymore. Come back now.”
“Ok.”
To sasasa668, one or two million is nothing. His business is doing well and does not need to take any risks. But Dong Xuebing offered twenty million RMB, and sasasa668 considered for a long time before making this decision. But the other party did not appear. Sigh… but this is also good for sasasa668. If his identity is leaked, who knows what troubles he needs to face. He might even be killed before he gets to spend the money.
