Seeing my cold look, the driver had no choice but to give up.
The car arrived at the rest stop at around eight o'clock in the evening.
"It opens at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, okay?"
After the driver applied the handbrake, he glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
"no problem."
I said, nodded slightly, and then took Chen Cheng and the luggage containing plum bottles to get off the car and go to the nearby express hotel to sleep for a night.
"Don't take your luggage with you. It's safe in my car."
When I heard the driver's words, I became even more vigilant.
That Master Sun must have said something to him.
It's probably because I have money in my luggage or something like that.
"No, I'm used to carrying luggage."
I shook my head and refused, then took Chen Cheng straight to the nearby Express Hotel and got a room.
"Be careful, something might happen at night."
I said, letting Chen Cheng sleep first.
Later, I placed some "small devices" at the door and next to the luggage.
Whenever someone comes in, I hear a noise.
Afterwards, I also turned off the lights and went to sleep - sleeping shallowly so that I could wake up more easily.
When I was in the capital, my enemies would often cause trouble in the middle of the night, so when I competed with those enemies, I learned to sleep lightly so that I could deal with sudden troubles.
Just as I thought, I heard some noises in the middle of the night.
The door to my room was quietly opened and someone walked in.
I continued to pretend to be asleep and see what he was going to do.
Sure enough, that person came straight to my suitcase.
"Who is it? Don't move!"
The moment he was about to take the suitcase and leave, I suddenly stood up and turned on the light. I put a towel on my hand and pretended to have a pistol.
Of course, I was not on the bed, but on the floor, so he misjudged my position and was about to run away when I caught him.
The light hit his face, and I could tell it was the driver.
"You want to steal something?"
"It's a pity that you stole from the wrong person."
I said with a slight smile, pretending to be a gangster.
"Brother, don't shoot, I was forced!"
The driver raised his hands and leaned against the wall, too frightened to move.
"Forced?"
"Who forced it?"
I spoke slowly and approached the driver step by step.
"I...I don't know who he is!"
The driver panicked and was incoherent for a moment, "Don't kill me!"
"You should know that people who want to leave Hezhou through this method are not good people..."
I said calmly, "How dare you touch my things...Aren't you mentally prepared?"
I said, putting the "gun" in my hand against his chest - actually there was a small stick with a handle inside the towel I was wearing.
It's just an extra layer of "mystery" covered with a towel, which is enough to pose a threat to people who are not mentally strong enough.
"It's Lao Sun. He said you had a lot of money and asked me to steal your suitcase."
The next second, the driver tried everything.
"Okay, since you confess, I won't embarrass you too much."
"You didn't make much money this time. I'll give you two thousand to tell Master Sun not to leave in a hurry when he gets to Shanghai."
I slowly said, "You also told him that he got the stuff."
"well!"
The young driver had obviously not been frightened by this and was already obeying my instructions.
"Also, do you want to know where I got all this money?"
I planned to scare him again, lest he recognize me as having no weapons.
"This...brother, if it's convenient...you can talk about it..."
"I killed someone. I heard he was a small boss. All his money and antiques are in my suitcase."
"If you want to do something small, I can get an extra suitcase and put you in it."
Under my intimidation, the driver did not dare to have any more thoughts about my suitcase.
"Call Master Sun now and tell him that the stuff is available."
After my order, he immediately called Master Sun.
Sure enough, Master Sun asked him to take the things to Huzhou and meet for delivery - he couldn't open the suitcase.
This further confirmed that there was something wrong with Master Sun suddenly turning around to find someone to take us.
But I don't know who wants the plum bottle.
After all, I was going to negotiate and hand over the plum bottle on the way. Jiang Chenyang probably wouldn't send someone to do such a despicable move.
According to time calculation, Jiang Chenyang should have arrived in Huzhou by fast transportation.
Of course, that doesn't rule out the fact that Jiang Chenyang wanted to make me lose the "trump card" in the negotiation.
But at that time, I will also tell them that this plum vase is fake.
I dared to go to Fenghuang Ancient City to meet them only after I was prepared!
I let the driver go, turned off the lights and went back to sleep.
Of course, I still slept lightly, just in case someone came over to take advantage of Mei Ping.
After waking up at 8:30 in the morning, Chen Cheng and I changed our clothes and urged the driver to get on the road.
After two days like this, we arrived at the toll station on the southern border of Huzhou.
Theoretically, entering from here is already the boundary of Shanghai.
The car drove for a while and finally stopped at a gas station.
"Delivery right here."
The driver spoke very "obediently".
"Let Master Sun get in the car and pick up the goods."
I said, "Winds up."
With that said, the driver contacted Master Sun, and a moment later I saw Master Sun walking over through the corner of the window.
"Where's the stuff?"
"You didn't open it, did you?"
As soon as Master Sun said that, I followed the "blindness method" before and wrapped my hands in a towel and pretended to have a gun.
"Don't move, come in slowly now."
I held the "gun" to his head and spoke slowly.
"This...didn't you say you already got it?"
Master Sun was a little panicked. He probably didn't expect that he would encounter a "hard problem" when he wanted to grab something.
"I already carry lives on my hands, I don't mind carrying two more."
As I spoke, I ordered Master Sun to come in.
When he heard my bluff, Master Sun, who had no "level", naturally panicked.
"I...I also followed other people's orders. Brother, please spare my life!"
Master Sun also said in panic.
"Whose orders did you follow?"
I spoke calmly and looked at Master Sun with a ferocious expression.
"I don't know, he said he would give me three hundred thousand as long as I get the suitcase!"
Master Sun said tremblingly, "Brother, I have said everything and I haven't taken anything from you, so just let us go!"
"You contact him now, tell him that you have the item, and ask him to pick it up right away."
I frowned as I spoke, giving them a sense of oppression - shoot them immediately if they didn't get their way.
I don't mind scaring people anymore, as long as I catch the manipulator behind it.
However, judging from the other party's level of caution, I estimate that there is a high probability that the other party will also find a puppet to get the goods.
Sure enough, a person I didn't know at all came over to "pick up the goods" after Master Sun called me - he was also detained by me.
But at this point, I feel that the other party also knows that I am investigating them in turn.
"He said we could just put our things down and leave."
