1332 Who frightened Whom? (1/2)
”The CIA really have earned their reputation huh. Was it when I boarded the plane that you noticed me?” Chen Xiaobei asked, looking unconcerned.
”No, of course not. It was when you booked your ticket.” Zaar smiled cunningly.
”Kudos to you then!” Chen Xiaobei praised. ”Let's go! We shouldn't waste any time!”
”Alright! Let's go!” Zaar nodded, and turned to give one of the brawny men a look.
The man nodded and then walked towards the plane Chen Xiaobei had just alighted.
”What is he doing? I don't have any luggage.” Chen Xiaobei said.
”Oh, no. He's just going to catch a little fly!” Zaar gave him a half-hearted smile. ”You should know that this matter is paramount, and we cannot risk any flies getting involved.
”Flies?”
Chen Xiaobei frowned, sensing something unpleasant about to unfold.
”Let me go! Why are you doing this? Who are you? Let me go or I'll sue you!”
A loud commotion rattled the cockpit.
Shortly after, the burly man returned with Jane locked in his arms.
”Are you guys insane? Why are you taking her?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
Zaar smiled.
”I have eyes on the plane, and I know that you have been intimate with his woman! I have reasons to believe that she is a Chinese intelligence agent!”
”Intelligence agent? What kind of bullshit is that?” Chen Xiaobei's face darkened. ”She is just a regular civillian! She's just a fan of my work, a film I starred in! Shouldn't your intelligence agency already know this? Let her go and will go with you!”
”Of course, you're coming with us. But we cannot let this woman go!” Zaar shrugged. ”Actually, before the plane landed, I've already done a thorough background check on her. Oh she's clean, very clean! Unfortunately, she got involved with you.”
”What is there to explain? I was just having a conversation with her!”
Chen Xiaobei got really pissed.
He met a loyal fan, had an innocent interaction, and even refused to take a picture with her because he was afraid that she might have been dragged into his business.
He had not expected his enemy to be such unreasonable, relentless bullies!
”Hey, don't blame me.” Zaar grinned. ”The people upstairs have given me orders to investigate anyone who makes contact with you. If they don't cooperate, we are authorized to beat them to death! I've already been oh so kind to her!”
”For fucks sakes... let me go this instant! I'm not some spy or agent! You have no right to apprehend me!”
Jane struggled and struggled hard she did.
”Shut her up! This is a public area!” Zaar said impatiently.
Smack!
The burly man grabbed Jane's arm, tugged her hard and slapped her with the other.
Jane was just a regular civillian with no military training whatsoever. The slap knocked her out, and fresh blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth.
”See, isn't that much better? Human beings are lowlifes that need to be hit into submission!” Zaar smiled. ”Mr. Chen, let's go!”
Jane might have been the one who was slapped, but it was actually a warning to Chen Xiaobei that if he resisted, he would be pummelled or maybe even tortured.
That was a direct threat to Chen Xiaobei to show who was in charge.
Chen Xiaobei did not take kindly to this kind of treatment. On top of that, his cute little fan was dragged into this. How could he tolerate such inhumanity?
