An inconspicuous taxi slowly stopped at the entrance of a luxury hotel. Edward King wore a top hat, covering most of his face, and quickly got out of the car and slipped into the hotel like a thief.
As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he took a long breath, took off his top hat and looked around. He walked up to the front desk and said in a deep voice: "I am Edward King. Someone should have opened a room for me."
The front desk staff in a smart suit checked on the computer and nodded politely: "Yes, Mr. Jin, the room you are staying in is Room 1202. The room opening time is from now to eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If it is overtime, For additional payment, this is the key card for your room, please keep it."
Edward King took the key card, looked around again, and then walked quickly towards the elevator hall.
But as soon as he entered the elevator and the elevator door was about to close, another man squeezed in.
Edward King looked at the other party with some vigilance, but the other party chuckled and pointed to the top of his head: "What are you afraid of? Is there surveillance in the elevator? Can I still eat you?"
The other party was right. There was more than one camera in the elevator, but one camera in each of the four directions, ensuring a 360° full shot without any blind spots.
Edward King did not speak, but carefully kept his distance from the other party. The man stopped talking and just reached out and pressed the button on the 12th floor.
Soon the elevator rose to the 12th floor. After the elevator door opened, the man looked at Edward King and said with a smile: "You go first."
Edward King pursed his lips and walked out of the elevator first. Then the man came out, following Edward King.
After Edward King took a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at the other person: "What do you want to do?"
The man laughed and took out another key card from his pocket: "You go to 1207, and we will change rooms."
Edward King squinted his eyes: "I remember that the Continental Hotel does not allow you to change rooms without permission."
The man smiled and said: "We don't think of changing it privately. After all, the room you live in is also opened by us."
Edward King said nothing more, took out his key card and exchanged it with the man. The other party stopped talking nonsense, walked directly to the door of room 1202, opened the door and walked in.
Edward King continued to move forward with some hesitation, walked to room 1207, took a few deep breaths, and then reached out to open the door.
But before the card in his hand came close to the door lock sensor, the door suddenly opened. Before Edward King could react, two thick hands stretched out from the door and pulled him in.
With a "click", the door immediately closed again.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'm just here to make a deal. I don't know anything else."
Edward King held his head in his hands, curled up on the carpet and yelled.
But after waiting for a while, the punches and kicks he imagined did not appear. He opened his eyes carefully, only to see three white men in black suits standing in front of him, looking at him indifferently.
Edward King quickly raised his hands and stammered: "Brother, please forgive me. I am really just a nobody. There is no need to kill me. I was forced here."
"I know that the U.S. government forced you to join this deal, otherwise you will sit in jail for the rest of your life, right?" One of the men knelt down and said coldly, "Don't be nervous, in fact, we arranged this. , we also want you to participate in this transaction."
Edward King blinked: "What do you mean? I didn't understand."
"Haha..." The man patted Edward King's cheek and laughed strangely, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Tell me, did anyone tell you anything before you came here?"
"There are many, too many. Almost everyone I meet will threaten and warn me, asking me to cooperate." Edward King asked cautiously: "Would you like to give me a warning?"
"Forget it, if it was so important, he wouldn't let you, a fool, pass the message."
The man waved his hand, and without saying a word, the other two held Edward King down and began to carefully search his body. But after searching for a long time, even the corners of his clothes and the heels of his shoes were searched, but nothing was found.
Edward King was almost skinned into a white sheep. He covered his vital parts with a top hat and curled up into a ball. He looked at the three men pitifully and did not dare to say anything. After the three men finished searching, they said pitifully: "Is it done? Brother, can you let me go?"
The man did not speak, his eyes continued to look back and forth on Edward King's body. Looking at Edward King's whole body, he couldn't help but clamp his legs and stammered: "I really have nothing hidden on my body, please believe me. ”
The man standing in the middle did not speak. He just reached out and took the hat from Edward King's hand, and pinched it carefully along the brim of the hat with both hands. Then he sneered, pulled out a sharp knife, and carefully opened the edge of the hat brim.
Soon, he pulled out a small note from the brim of his hat.
Edward King's face changed drastically and he almost cried: "Big brothers, you have to believe me, I really didn't know there was a note in the hat."
"Of course you don't know. If you knew, you would be in trouble."
The man put the note away, played with the knife in his hand, and said with a ferocious smile: "Tell me, do you want to die or live?"
Edward King immediately nodded crazily: "Of course I want to live, who wants to die these days."
"It's easy to live. As long as you say this person is your contact, you can return to the United States alive."
The man took out a photo and showed it to Edward King.
"Him?"
After Edward King saw the appearance of the person in the photo, his face couldn't help but stammered, "No one will believe him, right?"
"You don't have to worry about it," the man sneered, "Just tell me whether you agree or not?"
"Promise, of course I agree." Edward King nodded quickly, "It's just the meeting process..."
"Don't worry, we've already thought of this for you." The man snapped his fingers, and immediately someone next to him took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Edward King, "Memorize them, and when the time comes, write on it I said, I promise you’ll be fine.”
Edward King took the document, read it carefully, and said with some confusion: "Three eldest brothers, this is too bizarre. If I say this, will others think that I write novels?"
"Where does all this nonsense come from?" The man simply put the knife against Edward King's neck and said in a ferocious voice, "You can do whatever I tell you to do, otherwise, we will throw you out of the hotel right now. ”
"Think about it carefully, if you lose your use value and have not completed the tasks assigned to you by the US government, what will happen to you?"
"And don't think about betraying us. You should know that there are people from us in the U.S. government. If you want to betray us, I guarantee you will be worse than dead. And if you cooperate obediently, then within our Under the cover of the police, not only will you be fine, but you will also be included in the witness protection list."
"You have to think clearly about what to do!"
Listening to the man's demonic words, what else could Edward King say, so naturally he could only nod in agreement.
The man laughed, and just as he was about to continue to comfort Edward King, there was a knock on the door.
